AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of October 31, 2017, among (i) NEXTEL TELECOMUNICAÇÕES LTDA., a limited liability company (sociedade limitada) organized and existing under the laws of Brazil (the “Borrower”), (ii) the parties listed in Annex III (in such capacity, the “Guarantors”) and (iii) CHINA DEVELOPMENT BANK as arranger (the “Arranger”), administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and lender (in such capacity, the “Lender”).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Arranger entered into that certain US$250,000,000 Credit Agreement dated as of April 20, 2012, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 dated as of September 25, 2013, as further amended by that certain Amendment No. 2 dated as December 5, 2014 (as amended prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”),  which is not supported by the Sinosure Insurance;
WHEREAS, the parties hereto have agreed to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety as set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, each Guarantor is a Subsidiary of the Borrower and each Guarantor acknowledges that it will, directly or indirectly, derive substantial benefit from entering into this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
		
	Section 1.
	Definitions and Rules of Interpretation.




1.1    Defined Terms.


Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement and its Appendices, Annexes and Exhibits shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in Appendix A attached hereto.
1.2    Rules of Interpretation.


Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the rules of interpretation set forth in Appendix A hereto shall apply to this Agreement.
1.3    Accounting Principles.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all computations and determinations as to financial matters, and all financial statements to be delivered under this Agreement, shall be made or prepared in accordance with Brazilian GAAP (including principles of consolidation where appropriate) applied on a consistent basis (except to the extent approved or required by the independent public accountants certifying such statements and disclosed therein).
1.4    Accounting Changes.
If any Accounting Change shall occur and such change results in a change in the method of calculation of any financial covenant or ratio in this Agreement and either the Borrower or Required Lenders so request, then (a) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall negotiate in good faith to amend such provisions of this Agreement to equitably reflect such Accounting Change with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Borrower’s financial condition shall be the same after such Accounting Change as if such 











Accounting Change had not been made and (b) if the Borrower makes such request, the Borrower shall provide evidence of such Accounting Change to the Administrative Agent.  Until such time as such an amendment shall have been executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, all financial covenants, standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed as if such Accounting Change had not occurred.  “Accounting Change” refers to any change in accounting principles required by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the CPC (Comitê de Pronunciamentos Contábeis), and/or, if applicable, CVM (Brazilian Securities Exchange Commission) and/or the BACEN (Brazilian Central Bank).  Without limiting the foregoing, leases shall continue to be classified and accounted for on a basis consistent with Brazilian GAAP as of the date hereof for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any change in Brazilian GAAP relating thereto, unless the parties hereto shall enter into a mutually acceptable amendment addressing such changes as provided for above.
1.5    Computations.
On any day when any computation or calculation hereunder or under any other Financing Document requires the aggregation of amounts denominated in more than one currency, all amounts that are denominated in Reais shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent thereof on such day for purposes of such computation or calculation.
		
	Section 2.
	Amounts and Terms of Credit Facility.




2.1The Loans.


(a)Prior to the date hereof, the Lender made loans (the “Loans”) to the Borrower in the aggregate principal amount of US$250,000,000. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent acknowledge and agree that as of the date hereof, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans is US$77,958,189.37. 


(b)On the Restatement Closing Date, all “Loans” outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be automatically outstanding as Loans hereunder as if the Borrower had borrowed such Loans under this Agreement on the Restatement Closing Date. 


2.2Reserved.


2.3Reserved.


2.4Reserved.


2.5Evidence of Obligations.


(a)Each Lender will maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender as a result of the Loans of such Lender, including the amounts of principal, interest and other amounts payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.  Absent manifest error, the entries made by each Lender pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall constitute prima facie evidence, of the existence and amounts of the Loans and other obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to maintain such account or accounts shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay or pay the Loan made by such Lender, accrued interest thereon and the other obligations of the Borrower to such Lender hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Each Lender will advise the Borrower of the outstanding Indebtedness hereunder to such Lender upon written request therefor.













(b)The Borrower agrees that, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or by any Lender, the Borrower will promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a note evidencing any Loans of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit C (a “Note”) with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount.


(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.5 or elsewhere in this Agreement, no failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans to the Borrower shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Borrower to pay the Loans (and all related Obligations) incurred by the Borrower which would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the security or guaranties therefor provided pursuant to the various Financing Documents.


2.6Interest.


(a)The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid and outstanding principal amount of each Loan for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) LIBOR in effect for such Interest Period and (ii) the applicable Margin.


(b)Overdue principal, interest and any other amount under or in connection with this Agreement shall bear interest (by way of liquidated damages and not as penalty) at a rate which is equal to the sum of (i) LIBOR in effect from time to time, (ii) the applicable Margin, and (iii) two per cent (2%) per annum, with such default interest (“Default Interest”) to be payable on demand.


(c)Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date and, in respect of each Loan, on the date of any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or, after such maturity, on demand.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Default Interest payable in accordance with Section 2.6(b) shall be payable as provided therein.


(d)On each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the LIBOR for the applicable Interest Period to be applicable to the Loans or to any portion thereof and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof.  Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.


2.7Interest Periods.


The interest period (an “Interest Period”) applicable to all Loans shall be a one (1) month period; provided, however, that:
(a)all Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall have the same Interest Periods;
(b)subject to clauses (c), (d) and (e) below, each Interest Period for any Loan shall commence on (and include) an Interest Payment Date and end on (but not include) the next succeeding Interest Payment Date;
(c)if any Interest Period begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;
(d)if any Interest Period would otherwise end on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day; and











(e)any Interest Period that would otherwise extend beyond the Loan Maturity Date shall instead end on the Loan Maturity Date.


2.8Net Payments.


(a)All payments (including, without limitation, any fees, commissions or expenses paid by the Borrower to any Financing Party) made by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Financing Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other similar defense.  All such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding, in the case of any Lender, any tax imposed on or measured by the net income, revenue, or gross receipts of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or Applicable Lending Office of such Lender is located or any subdivision thereof or therein) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes”).  If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Borrower agrees to pay such additional amounts as may be necessary so that the net amount received by the relevant Financing Party hereunder or under any other Financing Document, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Financing Document as if the corresponding deduction or withholding had not been made.  The Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent within thirty (30) days after the date of the payment of any Taxes due pursuant to applicable law evidence of such payment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.  The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Lender.


(b)Each Lender and the Administrative Agent agree to complete in good faith and execute and deliver to the Borrower, in a timely manner, such form, certificates, information or documentation relating to such Lender or Administrative Agent to establish the extent to which any payments to such Lender or Administrative Agent are exempt from, or are entitled to a reduction of withholding or deduction of any Taxes (collectively, the “Forms”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither any Lender nor the Administrative Agent shall be required to provide any Forms pursuant to this Section 2.8(b) unless (i) such Forms are required by law as a condition to, or evidence of entitlement to, relief or exemption in whole or in part from any Taxes, (ii) such Lender or the Administrative Agent is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such Forms and (iii) the Borrower shall have timely provided to such Lender or the Administrative Agent a written notice requesting that such Lender or the Administrative Agent execute and deliver such Forms together with the Forms and the official instructions thereto, if any.


(c)If the Borrower pays any additional amount under this Section 2.8 to a Lender and such Lender determines in its sole discretion that it has actually received or realized in connection therewith any refund or any reduction of, or credit against, its Tax liabilities in or with respect to the taxable year in which the additional amount is paid (a “Tax Benefit”), such Lender shall pay to the Borrower an amount that the Lender shall, in good faith, determine is equal to the net benefit, after tax, which was obtained by the Lender in such year as a consequence of such Tax Benefit; provided, however, that (i) any Lender may determine, in its sole discretion consistent with the policies of such Lender, whether to seek a Tax Benefit; (ii) nothing in this Section 2.8(c) shall require any Lender to disclose any confidential information to the Borrower (including, without limitation, its tax returns); and (iii) no Lender shall be required to pay any amounts pursuant to this Section 2.8(c) at any time when a Default or Event of Default exists.











(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be required pursuant to this Section 2.8 to pay any additional amount to, or to indemnify, any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to the extent that such Lender or the Administrative Agent becomes subject to Taxes subsequent to the Original Closing Date (or, if later, the date such Lender or Administrative Agent becomes a party to this Agreement) as a result of a change in the jurisdiction of organization of such Lender or Administrative Agent or a change in the location of the Applicable Lending Office of such Lender, except to the extent that any such change is requested or required in writing by the Borrower.


2.9Illegality.


If, on or after the date hereof, the introduction of any Law, or any change in any Law, or in the official interpretation or administration of any Law, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender to maintain its participation in a Loan, then:
(a)that Lender shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, setting out the relevant circumstances;
(b)the Borrower agrees to take all reasonable steps to obtain, as quickly as possible after receipt of such Lender’s request for prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.9, any Governmental Approvals then required in connection with such prepayment; and
(c)the Borrower shall repay that Lender’s participation in the Loans made to the Borrower on the Interest Payment Date immediately occurring after the Lender has notified the Borrower or, if earlier, the date specified by the Lender in the written notice delivered to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent (being no earlier than (i) the last day of any applicable grace period permitted by law, or (ii) twenty (20) Business Days after the delivery date of the written notice from the Lender, whichever occurs later) without any Break Cost, premium, penalty or fee of any nature.


2.10Increased Costs and Reduction of Return.


(a)Subject to Section 10.13(f), if any Lender shall have determined, in good faith (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), at any time that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Loan (other than any increased cost or reduction in the amount received or receivable resulting from the imposition of or a change in any tax imposed on or measured by the net income, revenue, or gross receipts or similar charges or otherwise compensated for Taxes under Section 2.8) because of any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the official interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, and including the introduction, after the Original Closing Date, of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, then, and in any such event, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, within thirty (30) days of written demand therefor, such additional reasonable and duly documented amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder; provided, however, that before making any such demand each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender (a written notice by such Lender as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender, shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto).











(b)If a Lender requests compensation under this Section 2.10 or if the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender under Section 2.8 as a result of any internal reorganization of such Lender, then such Lender shall, in good faith consultation with the Borrower, take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any circumstances giving arise to the gross-up under Section 2.8 or the indemnification under this Section 2.10, failing which, the Borrower shall be entitled to designate a Replacement Lender under Section 2.13.  A Lender need not take any such steps if such Lender determines, in its reasonable opinion, that to do so would be materially prejudicial to it (it being understood that it is not prejudicial to the Lender to bear costs that the Borrower is willing to reimburse).


2.11Inability to Determine Rates.


If, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period (an “Affected Interest Period”):  (a) the Administrative Agent determines that, by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market, LIBOR cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof; or (b) the Required Lenders determine and notify the Administrative Agent that the relevant rate of interest referred to in the definition of “LIBOR” upon the basis of which the rate of interest for Loans for such Affected Interest Period is to be determined will not be adequate to cover the cost to such Lenders of maintaining its Loans for such Affected Interest Period; or (c) the Screen Rate is not available or the Screen Rate is zero or negative and none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Administrative Agent to determine LIBOR for the relevant Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof (a “Rate Determination Notice”) to the Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter.  If such Rate Determination Notice  is given, during the thirty (30) day period following such Rate Determination Notice (the “Negotiation Period”) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith with a view to agreeing upon a substitute interest rate basis (having the written approval of all Lenders) for the Loans that shall reflect the cost to the Lenders of maintaining their Loans from alternative sources (a “Substitute Basis”), and if such Substitute Basis is so agreed upon during the Negotiation Period, such Substitute Basis shall apply in lieu of LIBOR to all Interest Periods commencing on or after the first day of the Affected Interest Period, until the circumstances giving rise to such Rate Determination Notice have ceased to apply (it being understood and agreed that the relevant agreement may permanently impose the Substitute Basis should LIBOR permanently cease to be determinable).  If a Substitute Basis is not agreed upon during the Negotiation Period, each Lender shall, subject to compliance with applicable Brazilian laws and regulations, determine (and shall certify from time to time in a certificate delivered by such Lender to the Administrative Agent setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of the computation of such amount, provided that only one such certification shall be required in connection with any permanent adjustment to the rate basis arising from LIBOR permanently ceasing to be determinable) the rate basis reflecting the cost to such Lender of its Loans for the Interest Period commencing on or after the first day of the Affected Interest Period, until the circumstances giving rise to such Rate Determination Notice have ceased to apply, and such rate basis shall be binding upon the Borrower and such Lender and shall apply in lieu of LIBOR, as applicable, for the relevant Interest Period and (at the election of such Lender if LIBOR should permanently cease to be determinable) all subsequent Interest Periods.
2.12Survival.


The agreements and obligations of the Borrower in Sections 2.8, 2.10 and 2.11 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other obligations under the Financing Documents.











2.13Replacement Lender.


(a)If at any time the Borrower becomes obliged to prepay any amount in accordance with Section 2.9 or pay any compensation under Section 2.10 to any Lender, then the Borrower shall have the right, at its sole expense and effort and provided that no Default or Event of Default then exists or would exist after giving effect to such replacement, on ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, to replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to (and such Lender shall) assign and delegate, without recourse, pursuant to Section 10.13 all (and not part only) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Lender or another bank or financial institution (a “Replacement Lender”) selected by the Borrower for a purchase price in cash payable at the time of assignment equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Lender’s participation in the outstanding Loans and all accrued interest, fees, and other amounts payable in relation thereto under the Financing Documents.

(c)The Replacement Lender shall enter into the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to Section 10.13 pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the outstanding Loans of the replaced Lender.  Upon receipt by the replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) and is authorized (which authorization is coupled with an interest) to execute the Assignment and Acceptance on behalf of such replaced Lender and any such Assignment and Acceptance so executed by the Administrative Agent, and the Replacement Lender shall be effective for purposes of this Section 2.13 and Section 10.13.  Upon the execution of the Assignment and Acceptance, the payment of amounts referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) above, recordation of the assignment on the Register by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.10, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 2.11, 10.1, 10.2), which shall survive as to such replaced Lender.


2.14Matters applicable to All Requests for Compensation.


Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under any of Sections 2.8, 2.9, and 2.10, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to Sections 2.8, 2.9, or 2.10 for any amounts incurred more than two-hundred seventy (270) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to the claim; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have retroactive effect, then such two-hundred seventy (270) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(b)Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute, deliver and perform each of the Financing Documents to which the Administrative Agent is or is intended to be a party and the Collateral Agency Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders and each Lender agrees to be bound by all of the agreements of the Administrative Agent contained in the Financing Documents and the Collateral Agency Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “Administrative Agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative 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 a relationship between independent contracting parties.

The Administrative Agent or any of its Agent-Related Persons shall not be under any obligation to any Financing Party to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement, any Transaction Document or the Collateral Agency Agreement, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower.

The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement, the Collateral Agency Agreement or any Financing Document (a) if such action would, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent (upon consultation with counsel), be contrary to applicable Law or the terms of any Financing Document or the Collateral Agency Agreement, (b) if such action is not specifically provided for in the Financing Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party or the Collateral Agency Agreement, and it shall not have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate, (c) if in connection with the taking of any such action that would constitute the making of a payment due under any Financing Document or the Collateral Agency Agreement, it shall not first have received from any or all of the other Financing Parties funds equal to the amount of such payment, or (d) unless, if it so requests, the Administrative Agent shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  The Administrative Agent shall, in all cases, be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement, the Collateral Agency Agreement or any Financing Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Financing Parties.
8.5Notice of Default.


The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing 











such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” If the Administrative Agent receives any such notice of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, it shall give notice thereof to the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with this Section 8; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such request, the Administrative 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 or in the best interest of the Lenders.
8.6Credit Decision.


Each Lender acknowledges that the Administrative Agent or any of its Agent-Related Persons has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or any of its Agent-Related Persons to any Lender.

Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required pursuant to any Financing Document or the Collateral Agency Agreement to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Project or of the Borrower which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Agent-Related Persons.
8.7Indemnification of Administrative Agent.


(a)Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Administrative Agent and its Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), pro rata in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of the Loans held by such Lender, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to the Administrative Agent or its Agent-Related Persons of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.


(b)Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share as provided above of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent 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, this Agreement, the Collateral Agency Agreement, any Financing Document or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower.

The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrower or such Affiliates) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.  The Administrative Agent which is also a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

(a)Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor as provided below, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders, the Borrower and the Guarantors, and the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders.  Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right (subject to prior consultation with the Borrower and the Guarantors) to appoint a successor to the resigning Administrative Agent or removed Administrative Agent.  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the resigning Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the giving of any notice of removal of the Administrative Agent, then the resigning Administrative Agent or Administrative Agent being removed, as the case may be, may appoint its successor.

Failure to make any such recordation or any error in such recordation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans.  With respect to any Lender, the transfer of any Loan shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the 











Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Loan, and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Loan shall remain owing to the transferor.

For purposes of this Guaranty, each Guarantor expressly and irrevocably waives any order, excision and division benefits they may have under any applicable jurisdiction.
9.2Bankruptcy.


Additionally, the Guarantors unconditionally and irrevocably, jointly and severally, guarantee the payment of any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Financing Parties whether or not due or payable by the Borrower upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Sections 7.1(e), 7.1(g) and 7.1(h), and irrevocably and unconditionally promise to pay such Guaranteed Obligations to the Financing Parties upon such occurrence.

9.4Independent Obligation.


The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor, any other guarantor, the Borrower or any other party or the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any of the Guarantors whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other party or the Borrower and whether or not any other Guarantor, guarantor, any other party or the Borrower be joined in any such action or actions.  Each Guarantor waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law) the benefits of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof.  Any payment by the Borrower or any Guarantor or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to the Borrower or such other Guarantor shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each Guarantor.
9.5Authorization.

(a)upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, sell, exchange, release, impair, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset there against;

Each of the Guarantors waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Financing Parties, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any of its right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy against the Borrower or any other party or any security.


(b)Except as otherwise expressly stated under this Agreement or the Financing Documents, each of the Guarantors waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including without limitation notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations.  Each of the Guarantors assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which it assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the other Financing Parties shall have any duty to advise it of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

(e)Each Guarantor hereby expressly waives all legal benefits set out in the following provisions of Brazilian law: articles 333, sole paragraph, 368, 821, 827, 829, 830, 834, 835, 837, 838 and

Each Guarantor acknowledges that they will receive direct and indirect benefits from the arrangements contemplated by this Agreement and that the waiver set out in this Clause is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.


9.8Acknowledgement.


Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that no Financing Party nor any other Person shall be under any obligation to (i) marshal any assets in favor of such Guarantor or in payment of any or all of the liabilities of the Borrower or any other Guarantor under the Financing Documents or the obligation of such Guarantor hereunder or (ii) pursue any other remedy that such Guarantor may or may not be able to pursue itself, any right to which such Guarantor hereby waives.
9.9Payments.


All payments made by each Guarantor pursuant to this Section 9 shall be made in Dollars and will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense (other than that the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full) that may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower, such Guarantor or any Person against any Financing Party whether in connection with the Financing Documents or any unrelated transaction, and shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.8 and 6.4.
9.10Continuing Guaranty.


This Guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon.  No failure or delay on the part of any Financing Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any Financing Party would otherwise have.  No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Financing Party to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.  It is not necessary for any Financing Party to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Borrower or any Guarantor or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its or their behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.
9.11Limitation on Guaranteed Obligations.


Each Guarantor and each Financing Party (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) hereby confirms that it is its intention that this Guaranty not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any applicable Law.  To effectuate the foregoing intention, each Guarantor and each Financing Party (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) hereby irrevocably agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed by such Guarantor shall be limited to such amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other (contingent or otherwise) liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any rights to contribution pursuant to any agreement providing for an equitable contribution among such Guarantor and the other Guarantors, result in the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor in respect of such maximum amount not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.











9.12Maximum Liability.


It is the desire and intent of the Guarantors and the Financing Parties that this Guaranty shall be enforced against the Guarantors to the fullest extent permissible under the applicable Laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought.  If, however, and to the extent that, the obligations of any of the Guarantors under this Guaranty shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers), then the amount of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty shall be deemed to be reduced and such Guarantor shall pay the maximum amount of the Guaranteed Obligations which would be permissible under applicable Law.

The agreement of each Lender to make extensions of credit to the Borrower on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other Financing Documents is solely for the benefit of the Borrower and the Guarantors, and no other Person (including any contractor, sub-contractor, supplier, worker, carrier, warehouseman, materialman or vendor furnishing supplies, goods or services to or for the benefit of the Borrower or the Project or receiving services from the Project) shall have any rights hereunder against any Financing Party with respect to the Loans, the proceeds thereof or otherwise.
10.7Reinstatement.


To the extent that any Financing Party receives any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or a Guarantor, which payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to the Borrower or such Guarantor or to their respective estate, trustee, receiver, custodian or any other party under any Bankruptcy Law or otherwise, then to the extent of the amount so required to be repaid, the obligation or part thereof which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by the amount so repaid shall be reinstated by the amount so repaid and shall be included within the obligations as of the date such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction occurred.
10.8No Immunity.


To the extent that the Borrower or a Guarantor may be entitled, in any jurisdiction in which judicial proceedings may at any time be commenced with respect to this Agreement or any other Financing Document, to claim for itself or its revenues, assets or Properties any immunity from suit, the jurisdiction of any court, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, set-off, execution of a judgment or any other legal process, and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there may be attributed to such Person such an immunity (whether or not claimed), the Borrower and such Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree not to claim and hereby irrevocably waives such immunity to the fullest extent permitted by the Law of the applicable jurisdiction.
10.9Judgment Currency.


This is an international transaction in which the specification of Dollars and payment in China is of the essence, and the obligations of the Borrower or the Guarantors under this Agreement and under the other Financing Documents to make payment to (or for the account of) each Financing Party in Dollars shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any other currency or in another place except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective 











receipt by such Financing Party in China of the full amount of Dollars payable to such Financing Party under the Financing Documents to which such Financing Party is party.  If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into another currency (for the purposes of this Section 10.9, hereinafter the “judgment  currency”), the rate of exchange which shall be applied shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, such Financing Party could purchase such Dollars from the London interbank market with the judgment currency on the Business Day next preceding the day on which such judgment is rendered.  The obligation of the Borrower or the Guarantors in respect of any such sum due from it to such Financing Party hereunder (in this Section 10.9 called an “Entitled Person”) shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following the receipt by such Entitled Person of any sum adjudged to be due hereunder in the judgment currency such Entitled Person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase and transfer Dollars to Shenzhen, China with the amount of the judgment currency so adjudged to be due; and each of the Borrower and the Guarantors hereby, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify such Entitled Person on demand, in Dollars, for the amount (if any) by which the sum originally due to such Entitled Person in Dollars hereunder exceeds the amount of the Dollars so purchased and transferred.
10.10The Arranger.


The Arranger shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than the rights to receive reimbursement or payment of costs or expenses incurred by it as provided in Section 10.1, the right to indemnity under Section 10.2 and the right under the Guaranty.
10.11Counterparts.


This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement or any other document or instrument delivered in connection herewith by facsimile transmission or e-mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement or such other document or instrument, as applicable.
10.12Amendment or Waiver.


(a)No provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document may be amended, supplemented, modified or waived, except by a written instrument signed by the Required Lenders, the Borrower and the Guarantors (but only if the Borrower and the Guarantors are parties thereto), and, to the extent that its rights or obligations may be affected thereby, the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) postpone or delay the scheduled final maturity date of any Loan, without the prior written consent of each affected Lender, or postpone or delay any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Financing Document for any payment of principal, interest or fees due to any Lender hereunder or under any other Financing Document, without the prior written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified in any Financing Document on, any Loan of any Lender, without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its respective obligations under this Agreement or any other Financing Document, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 10.12 or Section 6.8, 10.1 or 10.2, without the prior written consent of each Lender, or (v) reduce the percentage specified in or otherwise amend the definition of Required Lenders, without the prior written consent of each Lender.













(b)Any waiver and any amendment, supplement or modification made or entered into in accordance with Section 10.12(a) shall be binding upon the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Arranger and the Security Agent.


10.13Assignments, Participations, etc.


(a)Subject to Section 10.13(b) below, any Lender may, with the prior consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed or conditioned, however, it will not be considered unreasonable for the Borrower to withhold consent if any such assignment (i) could have the effect of increasing the Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s costs under the Financing Documents, due to new or increased Taxes, or otherwise or (ii) is to Itau or Bradesco), at any time assign all or any part of its Loans and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder and under the other Financing Documents, to another bank or financial institution. Any partial assignment of Loans under this Section 10.13(a) shall not be less than US$10,000,000 or any integral multiple of US$5,000,000 in excess thereof.


(b)Notwithstanding Section 10.13(a) above, any Lender may, without the prior written consent of the Borrower, assign all or any part of its Loan and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder and under the other Financing Documents (i) to an Affiliate of such Lender, (ii) to another Lender, (iii) to any Person following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default; provided, if the Loans are assigned to Itau or Bradesco pursuant to this clause (iii), any breach of the obligations contained in the proviso to Section 5.25(b) is automatically deemed waived without any action on the part of any party hereto, or (iv) if requested to do so by the Borrower under Section 2.13; provided that only with respect to assignments to an Affiliate of a Lender or another Lender (A) the assigning Lender shall have given at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent of such proposed assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the assignee, (B) such proposed assignment would not result in any increase in Taxes or increased cost to the Borrower, (C) any partial assignment of any Loan under this Section 10.13(b) shall not be less than US$10,000,000 or any integral multiple of US$5,000,000 in excess thereof, and (D) each such assignment by a Lender of its Loans shall be made in such a manner so that the same portion of its Loans is assigned to the assignee.  With respect to any assignment under this Section 10.13, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with the assigning Lender in connection with the interest so assigned until the assigning Lender shall have delivered to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent an Assignment and Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (an “Assignment and Acceptance”) with respect to such assignment from the assigning Lender.


(c)Subject to Section 8.10, from and after the date that the Administrative Agent notifies the assigning Lender and the Borrower that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and under the other Financing Documents, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to effect the addition of the assignee, and any reference to the assigning Lender hereunder or under the other Financing Documents shall thereafter refer to such Lender and to the assignee to the extent of their respective interests, and (ii) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Financing Documents; provided that any Lender that assigns all of its Loans hereunder in accordance with Section 10.13 shall continue to have the benefit of indemnification provisions under this Agreement to











 the extent any indemnification relates to facts which occurred while it was a Lender (including Sections 2.8, 2.10, 2.11, 10.1 and 10.2), which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.


(d)Any Lender (the “Originating Lender”) may, at its own cost, at any time after the initial Borrowing has occurred, sell to one or more commercial bank, financial institution, trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets which is not an Affiliate of the Borrower, a Competitor or an Affiliate of a Competitor (a “Participant”) participating interests in its Loan; provided, however, that (i) the Originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Originating Lender in connection with the Originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, (iv) any such sale of participating interest shall not result in any increase in Taxes or increased cost to the Borrower or Guarantors and (v) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Financing Document.  In the case of any such participation, the Participant shall not have any rights or claims under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents (the Participant’s rights against the Originating Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by the Originating Lender in favor of the Participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.


(e)Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Financing Document to the contrary, any Lender may pledge or assign as collateral security all or any portion of the Loans held by it; provided that (i) the pledge or assignment as collateral security, its enforcement and payment thereunder would not result in any increased costs or Taxes on the Borrower or the Guarantors and (ii) any payment in respect of such assigned Loans made by the Borrower to or for the account of the assigning or pledging Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy the Borrower’s obligations hereunder in respect to such assigned Loan to the extent of such payment.  No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.


(f)If:


(i)a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Financing Documents or changes its Applicable Lending Office; and


(ii)as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, the Borrower would be obliged to make a payment to a permitted assignee or Lender acting through its new Applicable Lending Office under Sections 2.8 or 2.10, then the permitted assignee or Lender acting through its new Applicable Lending Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Sections to the same extent as the assigning Lender or Lender acting through its previous Applicable Lending Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred.


(g)Subject to actions permitted under (x) clause 5.2(a) of the Fiduciary Assignment and (y) clause 5.2(a) of the Additional Fiduciary Assignments, the Borrower shall not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any other Financing Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (acting on the instructions of all Lenders).













10.14Survival.


All indemnities set forth herein, including, without limitation, Section 10.2, shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making and repayment of the Loans.  In addition, each representation and warranty made or deemed to be made pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty (except for those representations or warranties that are made as of a specific date or that refer to a specific date or period of time), and no Lender shall be deemed to have waived, by reason of making any extension of credit, any Default or Event of Default which may arise by reason of such representation or warranty proving to have been false or misleading, notwithstanding that such Lender may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time such extension of credit was made.
10.15WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.


EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT ANY OF THEM MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED ON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY RELATING HERETO OR THERETO.  THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE FINANCING PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
10.16Right of Set-off.


In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable Law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to the Borrower or to any other Person (except for the notice referred to in the last sentence of this Section 10.16, any such notice being hereby expressly waived by the Borrower), to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies wherever located), to or for the account of the Borrower against any obligations of the Borrower to such Lender now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents, regardless of whether any such deposit or other obligation is then due and payable or is in the same currency or is booked or otherwise payable at the same office as the obligation against which it is set off and regardless of whether such Lender shall have made any demand for payment under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that any failure to give such notice shall invalidate such set-off and application.
10.17Severability.


Any provision hereof which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
