Additional Amounts” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 3.01.
 
Additional Notes” means any Notes issued under this Indenture in addition to the Initial Notes, having the same terms in all respects as the Initial Notes except that interest will accrue on the Additional Notes from their date of issuance.

While Adjusted Net Debt of Raízen Energia S.A. and Raízen Combustíveis S.A. has been considered on a proportional interest-base method, any eventual equity pick-up from such entities during the same period shall be excluded, to avoid duplication.

(b)           The Registrar shall keep a record of all the Notes and shall make such record available during regular business hours for inspection upon the written request of the Company provided a reasonable amount of time prior to such inspection.  Such books and records shall include notations as to whether such Notes have been redeemed, or otherwise paid or cancelled, and, in the case of mutilated, destroyed, defaced, stolen or lost Notes, whether such Notes have been replaced.  In the case of the replacement of any of the Notes, the Trustee shall keep a record of the Note so replaced, and the Notes issued in replacement thereof.  In the case of the cancellation of any of the Notes, the Registrar shall keep a record of the Note so cancelled and the date on which such Note was cancelled.  Each Transfer Agent shall notify the Registrar of any transfers or exchanges of Notes effected by it.  The Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange Certificated Notes for a period of 14 days preceding any date of selection of Notes for redemption, or register the transfer of or exchange any Certificated Notes previously called for redemption.
 
(c)           All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled by the Registrar, the relevant Transfer Agent or Paying Agent or the Trustee, as the case may be.  Each Registrar, Paying Agent and Transfer Agent shall notify the Trustee of the surrender and cancellation of such Notes and shall deliver such Notes to the Trustee.  The Trustee may destroy or cause to be destroyed all such Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange and, if so destroyed, shall promptly deliver a certificate of destruction to the Company.

Section 2.04          Replacement Notes.  If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if a Holder claims that its Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company will issue and the Trustee will authenticate, upon provision of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee that such Note was lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, a replacement Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.  Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.  If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity must be furnished that is sufficient in the judgment of both the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company and the Trustee from any loss they may suffer if a Note is replaced.  The Company may charge the Holder for the expenses of the Company and the Trustee in replacing a Note.  In case the mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may pay the Note instead of issuing a replacement Note.  Each Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, stolen or lost Note shall carry rights to accrued and unpaid interest and to interest to accrue equivalent to the rights that were carried by such Note before such Note was mutilated, defaced, destroyed, stolen or lost.

(b)           A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or one of its Affiliates holds the Note, provided that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding Notes have given or taken any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action hereunder, Notes owned by the
 
 
 
- 27 -

 
 
 
Company or any Affiliate of the Company will be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding (it being understood that in determining whether the Trustee is protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, only Notes in respect of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice from the Company that such Notes are so owned will be so disregarded).  Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith 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 Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company or any Affiliate of the Company.
 
Section 2.06           Temporary Notes.  Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee will authenticate temporary Notes.  Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have insertions, substitutions, omissions and other variations determined to be appropriate by the Officer executing the temporary Notes, as evidenced by the execution of the temporary Notes.  If temporary Notes are issued, the Company will cause definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay.  After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes will be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 4.02, without charge to the Holder.  Upon surrender for cancellation of any temporary Notes the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations.  Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes will be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes.
 
Section 2.07           Cancellation.  The Company at any time may, but shall not be obligated to, deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold.  Any Registrar, Transfer Agent or Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to it for transfer, exchange or payment.  The Trustee will cancel all Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and dispose of them in accordance with its normal procedures.  The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has paid in full or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
 
Section 2.08           CUSIP and ISIN Numbers.  The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers, and the Trustee will use CUSIP numbers or ISIN numbers in notices of redemption or exchange or in Offers to Purchase as a convenience to Holders, the notice to state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange or Offer to Purchase.  The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers.
 
Section 2.09          Registration, Transfer and Exchange.  (e) The Notes will be issued in registered form only, without coupons, and the Company shall cause the Registrar to maintain a register (the “Register”) of the Notes, for registering the record ownership of the Notes by the Holders and transfers and exchanges of the Notes.  Upon written request from the Company, the Registrar shall provide the Company with a copy of the Register to enable it to maintain a register of the Notes at its registered office.

(ii)           Each Global Note will be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the DTC.  Transfers of a Global Note (but not a beneficial interest therein) will be limited to transfers thereof in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees, except (1) as set forth in Section 2.09(b)(iv) and (2) transfers of portions thereof in the form of Certificated Notes may be made upon request of an Agent Member (for itself or on behalf of a beneficial owner) by written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with customary procedures of the Depositary and in compliance with this Section and Section 2.10.
 
(iii)           Agent Members will have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, and the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, shall be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositary or its nominee may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person (including any Agent Member and any Person that holds a beneficial interest in a Global Note through an Agent Member) to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes, and nothing herein will impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any security.
 
(iv)           If (x) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for a Global Note and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of the notice or (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee has received a written request therefor from the Depositary, the Trustee will promptly exchange each beneficial interest in the Global Note for one or more Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an equal aggregate principal amount registered in the name of the owner of such beneficial interest, as identified to the Trustee by the Depositary in writing, and thereupon the Global Note will be deemed canceled.  If such Note does not bear the Restricted Legend, then the Certificated Notes issued in exchange therefor will not bear the Restricted Legend.  If such Note bears the Restricted Legend, then the Certificated Notes issued in exchange therefor will bear the Restricted Legend.
 
(c)           Each Certificated Note will be registered in the name of the holder thereof or its nominee.

(d)           A Holder may transfer a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) to another Person or exchange a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) for another Note or Notes of any authorized denomination by presenting to the Trustee a written request therefor stating the name of the proposed transferee or requesting such an exchange, accompanied by any certification, opinion or other document required by Section 2.10.  The Registrar will promptly register any transfer or exchange that meets the requirements of this Section by noting the same in the register maintained by the Registrar for the purpose; provided that:
 
(x)           no transfer or exchange will be effective until it is registered in such Register, and
 
(y)           the Trustee will not be required (i) to issue or cause the registration of the transfer of or exchange of any Note for a period of 14 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or purchased pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption or purchase in whole or in part, except, in the case of a partial redemption or purchase, that portion of any Note not being redeemed or purchased, or (iii) if a redemption or a purchase pursuant to an Offer to Purchase is to occur after a Regular Record Date but on or before the corresponding Interest Payment Date, to register the transfer of or exchange any Note on or after the Regular Record Date and before the date of redemption or purchase.  Prior to the registration of any transfer, the Company, the Trustee and their agents will treat the Person in whose name the Note is registered as the owner and Holder thereof for all purposes (whether or not the Note is overdue), and will not be affected by notice to the contrary.
 
From time to time the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate additional Notes as necessary in order to permit the registration of a transfer or exchange in accordance with this Section.
 
No service charge will be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of any Note, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than a transfer tax or other similar governmental charge payable upon exchange pursuant to subsection (b)(iv)).
 
(e)           (ii) Global Note to Global Note.  If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note being transferred or exchanged equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) record a like increase in the principal amount of the other Global Note.  Any beneficial interest in one Global Note that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Note, or exchanged for an interest in another Global Note, will, upon transfer or exchange, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer and exchange restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest.
 
(ii)           Global Note to Certificated Note.  If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a Certificated Note, the Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of such

transfer or exchange and (y) deliver one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an equal aggregate principal amount to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the owner of such beneficial interest (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name provided in writing by the Depositary of such transferee or owner, as applicable.
 
(iii)           Certificated Note to Global Note.  If a Certificated Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note, the Trustee will (x) cancel such Certificated Note, (y) record an increase in the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and credit such increase to the account of the Agent Member at the Depositary as instructed in writing by the Holder of the Certificated Note and (z) in the event that such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated Note, deliver to the Holder thereof one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Note, registered in the name of the Holder thereof.
 
(iv)           Certificated Note to Certificated Note.  If a Certificated Note is transferred or exchanged for another Certificated Note, the Trustee will (x) cancel the Certificated Note being transferred or exchanged, (y) deliver one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the Holder of the canceled Certificated Note (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or Holder, as applicable, and (z) if such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated Note, deliver to the Holder thereof one or more Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Note, registered in the name of the Holder thereof.
 
(v)           Responsibility and Liability for Actions of Depositary.  Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.
 
Section 2.10          Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange.  (f) The transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) may only be made in accordance with this Section and Section 2.09 and, in the case of a Global Note (or a beneficial interest therein), the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary.  The Trustee shall refuse to cause the registration of any requested transfer or exchange that does not comply with the preceding sentence.

ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS; REDEMPTION
 
Section 3.01           Additional Amounts.  (g) All payments by the Company in respect of the Notes or the Guarantor in respect of a Note Guarantee will be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments, or other governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any jurisdiction in which the Company or the Guarantor is organized or is a resident for tax purposes, or any other jurisdiction through which any payments under the notes are made by or on behalf of the Company, or any political subdivision or authority thereof or therein having power to tax (a “Relevant Jurisdiction”), unless the Company or the Guarantor is compelled by law to deduct or withhold such taxes, duties, assessments, or governmental charges. In such event, the Company or the Guarantor will make such deduction or withholding, make payment of the amount so withheld to the appropriate governmental authority and pay such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that the net amounts receivable by Holders of Notes after such withholding or deduction shall equal the respective amounts of principal and interest which would have been receivable in respect of the Notes in the absence of such withholding or deduction (“Additional Amounts”).
 
No such Additional Amounts shall be payable:
 
(i)           to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Holder who is liable for such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges in respect of such note by reason of the existence of any present or former connection between such Holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of such Holder, if such Holder is an estate, a trust, a partnership, a limited liability company or a corporation) and the Relevant Jurisdiction, including, without limitation, such Holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been engaged in a trade or business or present therein or having, or having had, a permanent establishment therein, other than the mere holding of the Note or enforcement of rights and the receipt of payments with respect to the Note;
 
(ii)           in respect of Notes surrendered (if surrender is required) more than 30 days after the Relevant Date except to the extent that the Holder of such Note would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts, on surrender of such Note for payment on the last day of such period of 30 days;
 
(iii)           where such Additional Amount is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any other directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council Meeting of 26-27 November 2000;
 
(iv)           to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Holder who is liable for such taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges by reason of such Holder’s failure to comply with any certification, identification or other reporting requirement concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Relevant Jurisdiction, if (1) compliance is required by the Relevant Jurisdiction, as a precondition to, exemption from, or reduction in the
 
 
 
- 33 -

 
 
rate of, the tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge and (2) the Company has given the Holders or such third party, as applicable, at least 30 days’ notice that they will be required to provide such certification, identification or other requirement;
 
(v)           in respect of any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, capital gains, excise or personal property or similar tax, duty, assessment or governmental charge;
 
(vi)           in respect of any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable other than by deduction or withholding from payments of principal of or interest on the Note or by direct payment by the Company or the Guarantor in respect of claims made against the Company or the Guarantor; or
 
(vii)         in respect of any combination of the above.
 
(b)           No Additional Amounts shall be paid with respect to any payment on a Note to a Holder who is a fiduciary, a partnership, a limited liability company or other than the sole beneficial owner of that payment to the extent that payment would be required by the laws of the Relevant Jurisdiction to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, a member of that partnership, an interest holder in a limited liability company or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had that beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the Holder.  The Notes are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation.  Except as specifically provided above, neither the Company nor the Guarantor shall be required to make a payment with respect to any tax, duty, assessment or governmental charge imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.
 
(c)           In the event that Additional Amounts actually paid with respect to the Notes are based on rates of deduction or withholding of withholding taxes in excess of the appropriate rate applicable to the Holder of such Notes, and, as a result thereof such Holder is entitled to make claim for a refund or credit of such excess from the authority imposing such withholding tax, then such Holder shall, by accepting such Notes, be deemed to have assigned and transferred all right, title, and interest to any such claim for a refund or credit of such excess to the Company.
 
(d)           Any reference in this Indenture or the Notes to principal, interest or any other amount payable in respect of the Notes by the Company or the Note Guarantee by the Guarantor will be deemed also to refer to any Additional Amount, unless the context requires otherwise, that may be payable with respect to that amount under the obligations referred to in this Section.  The foregoing obligation will survive termination or discharge of this Indenture.
 
Section 3.02           Optional Redemption with a Make-Whole Premium
 
(a)           Prior to March 14, 2018, the Company may, at its or the Guarantor's option, redeem all of the Notes at any time or part of the Notes from time to time at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of the Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

Section 3.03           Optional Redemption Without a Make-Whole Premium.  On and after March 14, 2018, the Company may, at its option or the Guarantor's, redeem all of the Notes at any time or part of the Notes from time to time at the following Redemption Prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of the Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), if redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on March 14 of the years set forth below:

A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof, if any, will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note (or appropriate adjustments to the amount and beneficial interests in a global note will be made, as appropriate).
 
Section 3.07          Notice of Redemption by the Company.  In the case of redemption of Notes pursuant to Section 3.02 through 3.05, notice of redemption shall be mailed at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of any Note to be redeemed by first-class mail at its registered address or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the DTC and such notice shall be irrevocable. If Notes are to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption will state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.  For so long as the Notes are listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for trading on the Global Exchange Market and the rules of the exchange require, the Company will cause notices of redemption to also be published in English on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange website.

(c)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the maximum amount of Debt that the Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur pursuant to this Section shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Debt, solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies.
 
(d)           For purposes of determining compliance with this Section, in the event that any proposed Debt meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (i) through (xvi) of Section Section 4.07(b), or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.07(a), the Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be permitted to classify such item of Debt at the time of its Incurrence in any manner that complies with this Section or to later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Debt.

applicable to the currencies in which such Permitted Refinancing Debt is denominated calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rates as calculated in the first sentence of this paragraph.

- 48 -

(ix)           in addition to the foregoing Restricted Payments in clauses (i) through (viii), Restricted Payments in an amount not to exceed the greater of U.S.$75.0 million (or the equivalent thereof at the time of determination);
 
provided that, in the case of clause (vi) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a result thereof.
 
(d)           Restricted Payments permitted pursuant to only clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii) and (ix) of Section 4.08(c) will not be included in making the calculations under clause (iii) of Section 4.08(a).
 
(e)           Not later than the date of making any Restricted Payment relying on clause (iii) of Section 4.08(a), the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the Restricted Payment is permitted and setting forth the basis upon which the calculations required by this Section 4.08 were made.

(b)           create a Lien on such Property or asset securing such Attributable Debt without equally and ratably securing the Notes pursuant to Section 4.10,
 
in which case, the corresponding Debt and Lien will be deemed Incurred pursuant to those provisions.

Section 4.14           Limitation on Asset Sales. (l) The Guarantor will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any Asset Sale unless the following conditions are met:
 
(i)           The Asset Sale is for fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
 
(ii)           At least 75% of the consideration consists of cash or Cash Equivalents.  (For purposes of this clause (ii), the assumption by the purchasers of Debt or other obligations (other than Subordinated Debt) of the Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to a customary novation agreement, and instruments or securities received from the purchasers that are promptly, but in any event within 90 days of the closing, converted by the Guarantor to cash, to the extent of the cash actually so received, shall be considered cash received at closing.)
 
(iii)           Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Net Cash Proceeds may be used (each a, “Permitted Reinvestment”):
 
(A)          to permanently repay Debt other than Subordinated Debt of the Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary (and in the case of a revolving credit, permanently reduce the commitment thereunder by such amount), in each case owing to a Person other than the Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary,
 
(B)           to acquire or invest in (or within such 360-day period in this clause (3) the Guarantor’s Board of Directors shall have made a good faith determination to acquire or invest, which acquisition or investment shall be consummated prior to the second anniversary of such Asset Sale) (i) all or substantially all of the assets of a Permitted Business, (ii) a majority of the Voting Stock of another Person that thereupon becomes a Restricted Subsidiary engaged in a Permitted Business, or to make capital expenditures or otherwise acquire long-term assets that are to be used in a Permitted Business or (iii) a Permitted Business Investment; or
 
(C)           to acquire Productive Assets for the Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;
 
provided that pending the final application of any such Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with this clause (iii), the Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce Debt or otherwise invest such Net Cash Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by the indenture.
 
 
 
- 52 -

 
 
 
(iv)           Notwithstanding clauses (i)-(iii) above, the Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be permitted to consummate an Asset Sale without complying with such clauses to the extent:
 
(A)          at least 75% of the consideration for such Asset Sale constitutes Productive Assets, cash, Cash Equivalents and/or Marketable Securities; and
 
(B)           the Asset Sale is for fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors;
 
provided that any consideration not constituting Productive Assets received by the Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with any Asset Sale permitted to be consummated under this clause shall be applied (in the case of cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities within 360 days after the receipt thereof) in accordance with Section 4.14(a)(iii) above.
 
(v)           The Net Cash Proceeds of an Asset Sale not applied pursuant to Section 4.14(a)(iii) within 360 days of the Asset Sale constitute “Excess Proceeds.”  Excess Proceeds of less than U.S.$50.0 million (or the equivalent thereof at the time of determination) will be carried forward and accumulated.  When accumulated Excess Proceeds equals or exceeds such amount, the Guarantor must, within 30 days, make an Offer to Purchase Notes having a principal amount equal to:
 
(A)           accumulated Excess Proceeds, multiplied by
 
(B)           a fraction (x) the numerator of which is equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and (y) the denominator of which is equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and all pari passu Debt similarly required to be repaid, redeemed or tendered for in connection with the Asset Sale, rounded down to the nearest U.S.$1,000.
 
The purchase price for the Notes will be 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest to the date of purchase.  If the Offer to Purchase is for less than all of the outstanding Notes and Notes in an aggregate principal amount in excess of the purchase amount are tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the offer, the Guarantor will purchase Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the purchase amount on a pro rata basis, with adjustments so that only Notes in multiples of U.S.$1,000 principal amount will be purchased, provided that after a purchase from a Holder in part, such Holder shall hold U.S.$200,000 in principal amount of Notes or a multiple of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof.  The Guarantor shall obtain all necessary consents and approvals from the Central Bank of Brazil for the remittance of funds outside Brazil prior to making any Offer to Purchase.  Any failure to obtain such consents and approvals will constitute an Event of Default.  Upon completion of the Offer to Purchase, Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.
 
Section 4.15          Limitation on Transactions with Shareholders and Affiliates.  (m) The Guarantor will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, enter into, renew or extend any transaction or arrangement including the purchase, sale, lease or
 
 
 
- 53 -

In the event that the Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) the Notes cease to have an Investment Grade Rating from any two Rating Agencies, then the Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants.  The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.”  Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with any of the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period (or upon termination of the Suspension Period or after that time based solely on events that occurred during the Suspension Period).
 
On the Reversion Date, all Debt Incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been Incurred pursuant to Section 4.07(a) or clauses (i) through (xiv) of Section 4.07(b) (to the extent such Debt would be permitted to be Incurred thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to the Debt Incurred prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date).  To the extent such Debt would not be permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.07, such Debt will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.07(b)(vii).  The Company or the Guarantor will give the Trustee prompt written notification upon the occurrence of a covenant suspension or any Reversion Date.

(b)           the Company or the Guarantor has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would otherwise have been the case.
 
Except as specifically stated above, none of the Company’s or the Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture will be discharged.
 
Section 8.04           Application of Trust Money.  Subject to Section 8.05, the Trustee will hold in trust the money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to Section

Section 8.06           Reinstatement.  If and for so long as the Trustee is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations held in trust pursuant to Section 8.01, 8.02 or 8.03 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes will be reinstated as though no such deposit in trust had been made.  If the Company or the Guarantor make any payment of principal of or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, they will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held in trust.

Section 9.02           Amendments With Consent of Holders.  (s) Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.02, 6.06 and 6.07 or Section 9.02(b), the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee may amend this Indenture and the Notes with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, and the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may waive future compliance by the Company or the Guarantor with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes.

Section 9.04           Trustee’s Rights and Obligations.  The Trustee shall receive, and will be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.  If the Trustee has received such an Opinion of Counsel, it shall sign the amendment, supplement or waiver so long as the same does not adversely affect the rights of the Trustee.  The Trustee may, but is not obligated to, execute any amendment, supplement or waiver that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture.

Section 10.02        Guarantee Unconditional.  The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, will not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

(b)           any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Indenture or any Note;
 
(c)           any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Company, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Company or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Company contained in this Indenture or any Note;

(e)           any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Company for any reason of this Indenture or any Note, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Company of the principal of or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by the Company under this Indenture; or
 
(f)           any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Company, the Trustee or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.
 
 
 
- 79 -

 
 
 
Section 10.03         Discharge; Reinstatement.  The Guarantor’s obligations hereunder will remain in full force and effect until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Company under this Indenture have been paid in full.  If at any time any payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) on any Note or any other amount payable by the Company under this Indenture is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise, the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment will be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.
 
Section 10.04         Waiver by the Guarantor.  The Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Company or any other Person.  The Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all rights provided under Articles 333, sole paragraph, 364, 366, 821, 829, 834, 835 and 837 through 839 of the Brazilian Civil Code and Article 595 of the Brazilian Civil Procedure Code.

Section 10.06        Stay of Acceleration.  If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Company under this Indenture or the Notes is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Indenture are nonetheless payable by the Guarantor hereunder forthwith on demand by the Trustee or the Holders.
 
Section 10.07        Limitation on Amount of Guarantee.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, the Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of the Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent conveyance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the laws of Brazil, the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law.  To effectuate that intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of the Guarantor under the Note Guarantee are limited to the maximum amount that would not render the Guarantor’s obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the laws of Brazil, the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law.
 
Section 10.08        Execution and Delivery of Guarantee.  The execution by the Guarantor of this Indenture (or a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit B) evidences the Note Guarantee of the Guarantor, whether or not the person signing as an officer of the Guarantor still holds that office at the time of authentication of any Note.  The delivery of any Note by the Trustee after authentication constitutes due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantor.

Section 10.09        Release of Guarantee.  The Note Guarantee of the Guarantor will terminate upon:

a Person could purchase U.S. Dollars with such other currency in New York, New York, on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.
