Exhibit 10.2

GUARANTY
This Guaranty (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with the terms hereof and in effect from time to time, this “Guaranty”) is made as of the 22nd day of October, 2020 by Bunge Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Bermuda (together with any successors or assigns permitted hereunder, "BL" or "Guarantor") to Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A., New York Branch (“Rabobank”), in its capacity as the administrative agent (together with its successors and assigns, the “Administrative Agent”) under the Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of October 22, 2020 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Credit Agreement”), among Bunge Limited Finance Corp., a Delaware corporation (“BLFC”), the Administrative Agent and the financial institutions from time to time party thereto (each, a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”), for the benefit of the Lenders.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement the Lenders have agreed to make revolving loans denominated in Dollars (the "Loans") to BLFC from time to time; and
WHEREAS, the execution and delivery of this Guaranty is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Credit Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:
Section 1.Definitions.  
(i)For all purposes of this Guaranty, except as otherwise expressly provided in Annex A hereto or unless the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
(ii)Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in the other Loan Documents, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be made, and prepared:
(1)in accordance with GAAP (including principles of consolidation where appropriate), and all accounting or financial terms shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms by GAAP; provided, however, that all accounting terms used in Section 8.2 below (and all defined terms used in the definition of any accounting term used in Section 8.2 below) shall have the meaning given to such terms (and defined terms) under GAAP as in effect on the date hereof applied on a basis consistent with those used in preparing the financial statements referred to in Section 7(a) below.  In the event of any change after the 








date hereof in GAAP, and if such change would affect the computation of any of the financial covenants set forth in Section 8.2 below, then the parties hereto agree to endeavor, in good faith, to agree upon an amendment to this Guaranty that would adjust such financial covenants in a manner that would preserve the original intent thereof, but would allow compliance therewith to be determined in accordance with the Guarantor’s financial statements at that time, provided that, until so amended such financial covenants shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein; and
(2)without giving effect to any election under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159 (or any other Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of BLFC, the Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries at "fair value", as defined therein.
Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all obligations of the Guarantor, BLFC and any of their respective Subsidiaries that are or would be characterized as an operating lease as determined in accordance with GAAP as in effect on December 14, 2018 (whether or not such operating lease was in effect on such date) shall continue to be accounted for as an operating lease (and not as a capital lease) for purposes of the Loan Documents regardless of any change in GAAP following December 14, 2018  (or any change in the implementation in GAAP for future periods that are contemplated as of December 14, 2018) that would otherwise require such obligation to be recharacterized as a capital lease and the Guarantor, BLFC and their respective Subsidiaries shall continue to provide financial reporting which differentiates between operating leases and capital lease in accordance with GAAP as in effect on December 14, 2018.
Section 2.Guaranty.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Guaranty, the Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees (collectively, the "Guaranty Obligations") the prompt and punctual payment of all Obligations due and owing (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, or now existing or hereafter incurred.  This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection.  All payments by the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be made in Dollars (if made with respect to any other amount) and (i) with respect to Loans, shall be made to the Administrative Agent for disbursement pro rata (determined at the time such payment is sought) to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentage, (ii) with respect to fees, expenses and indemnifications owed to the Lenders, shall be made to the Administrative Agent for disbursement pro rata (determined at the time such payment is sought) to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages (except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement with respect to Defaulting Lenders) and (iii) with respect to fees, expenses and indemnifications owed to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, shall be made to the Administrative Agent.  This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until the Guaranty Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated, notwithstanding that 
    2    
        






from time to time prior thereto BLFC may be free from any payment obligations under the Loan Documents.
Section 3.Guaranty Absolute.  The Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranty Obligations will be paid, regardless of any applicable law, regulation or order now or hereinafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect thereto.  The liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
(i)Any lack of validity or enforceability of or defect or deficiency in the Credit Agreement, any Transaction Document or any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument executed in connection with or pursuant thereto;
(ii)Any change in the time, manner, terms or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranty Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from the Credit Agreement, any Transaction Document or any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto or executed in connection therewith or pursuant thereto;
(iii)Any sale, exchange or non-perfection of any property standing as security for the liabilities hereby guaranteed or any liabilities incurred directly or indirectly hereunder or any setoff against any of said liabilities, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranty Obligations;
(iv)The failure of the Administrative Agent or a Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against BLFC or any other Person hereunder or under the Credit Agreement or any Transaction Document or any Loan Document;
(v)Any failure by BLFC in the performance of any obligation with respect to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(vi)Any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of BLFC, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting BLFC or its assets or resulting release or discharge of any of the Guaranty Obligations;
(vii)Any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Guarantor, BLFC or any other Person (including any other guarantor) that is a party to any document or instrument executed in respect of the Guaranty Obligations;
(viii)Any limitation of BLFC's obligations pursuant to subsection 8.16(b) of the Credit Agreement; or
    3    
        






(ix)Any law, regulation, decree or order of any jurisdiction, or any other event, affecting any term of any Guaranty Obligations or the Administrative Agent's or the Lenders' rights with respect thereto, including, without limitation: (A) the application of any such law, regulation, decree or order, including any prior approval, which would prevent the exchange of a currency other than Dollars for Dollars or the remittance of funds outside of such jurisdiction or the unavailability of Dollars in any legal exchange market in such jurisdiction in accordance with normal commercial practice; or (B) a declaration of banking moratorium or any suspension of payments by banks in such jurisdiction or the imposition by such jurisdiction or any Governmental Authority thereof of any moratorium on, the required rescheduling or restructuring of, or required  approval of payments on, any indebtedness in such jurisdiction; or (C) any expropriation, confiscation, nationalization or requisition by such country or any Governmental Authority that directly or indirectly deprives BLFC of any assets or their use or of the ability to operate its business or a material part thereof; or (D) any war (whether or not declared), insurrection, revolution, hostile act, civil strife or similar events occurring in such jurisdiction which has the same effect as the events described in clause (A), (B) or (C) above (in each of the cases contemplated in clauses (A) through (D) above, to the extent occurring or existing on or at any time after the date of this Guaranty).
The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be affected by the amount of credit extended to BLFC, any repayment by BLFC to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (in each case, other than the full and final payment of all of the Guaranty Obligations), the allocation by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of any repayment, any compromise or discharge of the Guaranty Obligations, any application, release or substitution of collateral or other security therefor, the release of any guarantor, surety or other Person obligated in connection with any document or instrument executed in respect of the Guaranty Obligations, or any further advances to BLFC.
Section 4.Waiver.  The Guarantor hereby waives (a) promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest and dishonor, notice of default, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranty Obligations and this Guaranty, (b) any requirement that the Administrative Agent or the Lenders protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against BLFC or any other Person or entity or any collateral or that BLFC or any other Person or entity be joined in any action hereunder, (c) the defense of the statute of limitations in any action under this Guaranty or for the collection or performance of the Guaranty Obligations, (d) any defense arising by reason of any lack of corporate authority, (e) any defense based upon any guaranteed party's errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranty Obligations except to the extent that any error or omission is caused by such guaranteed party's bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, (f) any rights to set-offs and counterclaims and (g) any defense based upon an election of remedies which destroys or impairs the subrogation rights of the Guarantor or the right of the Guarantor to proceed against BLFC or any other obligor of the Guaranty Obligations for 
    4    
        






reimbursement.  All dealings between BLFC or the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guaranty.  Should the Administrative Agent seek to enforce the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder by action in any court, the Guarantor waives any necessity, substantive or procedural, that a judgment previously be rendered against BLFC or any other Person, or that any action be brought against BLFC or any other Person, or that BLFC or any other Person should be joined in such cause.  Such waiver shall be without prejudice to the Administrative Agent at its option to proceed against BLFC or any other Person, whether by separate action or by joinder.  The Guarantor further expressly waives each and every right to which it may be entitled by virtue of the suretyship law of the State of New York or any other applicable jurisdiction.
Section 5.Several Obligations; Continuing Guaranty.  The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are separate and apart from BLFC or any other Person (other than the Guarantor), and are primary obligations concerning which the Guarantor is the principal obligor.  The Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall not be discharged except by payment in full of the Guaranty Obligations, termination of the Commitments and complete performance of the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected in any way by the release or discharge of BLFC from the performance of any of the Guaranty Obligations, whether occurring by reason of law or any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing.  
Section 6.Subrogation Rights.  If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account of subrogation rights at any time when all the Guaranty Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be applied to the Guaranty Obligations as specified in the Loan Documents.  If (a) the Guarantor makes a payment to the Administrative Agent of all or any part of the Guaranty Obligations and (b) all the Guaranty Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitments have terminated, the Administrative Agent will, at the Guarantor's request, execute and deliver to the Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Guarantor of any interest in the Guaranty Obligations resulting from such payment by the Guarantor.  The Guarantor hereby agrees that it shall have no rights of subrogation with respect to amounts due to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders until such time as all obligations of BLFC to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent have been paid in full, the Commitments have been terminated and the Credit Agreement has been terminated.
Section 7.Representations and Warranties.  The Guarantor hereby represents and warrants as follows:
(i)Financial Condition.
    5    
        






(1)The consolidated balance sheet of the Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2019 and the related consolidated statements of income for the fiscal year ended on such date, reported on by the Guarantor's independent public accountants, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to the Administrative Agent, are complete and correct, in all material respects, and present fairly the financial condition of the Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and the results of operations for the fiscal year then ended.  Such financial statements, including any related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the external auditors and as disclosed therein, if any).
(2)Except as disclosed in Schedule V attached hereto, neither the Guarantor nor its consolidated Subsidiaries had, at the date of the most recent balance sheet referred to above, any material guarantee obligation, contingent liability (as defined in accordance with GAAP), or any long-term lease or unusual forward or long-term commitment, including, without limitation, any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction, which is not reflected in the foregoing statements or in the notes thereto, except for guarantees, indemnities or similar obligations of the Guarantor or a consolidated Subsidiary supporting obligations of one Subsidiary to another Subsidiary.
(3)During the period from December 31, 2019 to and including the date hereof, except as disclosed in Schedule V attached hereto, neither the Guarantor nor its consolidated Subsidiaries has sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of any material part of its business or property, nor has it purchased or otherwise acquired any business or property (including any capital stock of any other Person) material in relation to the consolidated financial condition of the Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries at December 31, 2019.
(ii)No Change.  Since December 31, 2019, except as disclosed in Schedule I hereof, there has been no development or event which has had or could, in the Guarantor's good faith reasonable judgment, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Guarantor and each of its Subsidiaries (i) is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, (ii) has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (iii) is duly qualified under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so duly qualified 
    6    
        






could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (iv) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law and Contractual Obligations, except any non-compliance which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(iv)Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations.  The Guarantor and each of its Subsidiaries has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform this Guaranty and each of the other Loan Documents and Transaction Documents to which such Person is a party and to borrow thereunder and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize (i) the borrowings on the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents and Transaction Documents to which such Person is a party, (ii) the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty and each of the other Loan Documents and Transaction Documents to which such Person is a party and (iii) the remittance of payments in the applicable currency of all amounts payable hereunder and thereunder.

(v)No Legal Bar.  The execution, delivery and performance by the Guarantor of this Guaranty, and by it and each of its Subsidiaries of the other Loan Documents and Transaction Documents to which each such entity is a party, the borrowings thereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation to which the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries are a party or by which it or they are bound and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of the properties or revenues of any of the Guarantor or its Subsidiaries pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation.
(vi)No Material Litigation.  Except as disclosed in Schedule VI attached hereto, no litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Guarantor, threatened by 
    7    
        






or against the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to this Guaranty or the other Loan Documents or Transaction Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (b) which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Guarantor and each of its Subsidiaries has good record and marketable title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its material real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other material property except for defects in title which would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and none of the property is subject to any Lien that secures Secured Indebtedness, other than a Lien that secures Permitted Secured Indebtedness or any other Secured Indebtedness permitted under Section 8.2(a)(iii) of this Guaranty.
(viii)Environmental Matters.  The Guarantor and its Subsidiaries have obtained all permits, licenses and other authorizations that are necessary to operate their respective business and required under all applicable Environmental Laws, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The operations of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with all terms and conditions of the required permits, licenses, certificates, registrations and authorizations, and are also in compliance in all material respects with all other limitations, restrictions, conditions, standards, prohibitions, requirements, obligations, schedules and timetables contained in the Environmental Laws, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(ix)No Default.  Except with respect to the Indebtedness set forth on Schedule III attached hereto, neither the Guarantor nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any agreement, instrument or undertaking to which it is a party or by which it is bound in any respect which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Except as otherwise provided herein or therein, the Guarantor is validly obligated to make all payments due under this Guaranty free and clear of any such tax, withholding or charge so that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall receive the amounts due as if no such tax, withholding or charge had been imposed.
(xi)Pari Passu Status.  The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder constitute direct, general obligations of the Guarantor and rank at least pari passu (in priority of payment) with all other unsecured, unsubordinated Indebtedness (other than any such Indebtedness that is preferred by mandatory provisions of law) of the Guarantor.

    17    
        






breach and/or violation of, (i) any provision of the Blocking Regulation (or any law or regulation implementing the Blocking Regulation in any member state of the European Union) or (ii) any similar blocking or anti-boycott law in the United Kingdom.

(ii)The Administrative Agent shall supply each Lender with the address of and any relevant password specifications for the Designated Website following designation of that website by the Guarantor and the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.Amendments.  No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty nor consent to any departure by the Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective 
    18    
        






unless such amendment or waiver shall be in writing and signed by the Guarantor and the Administrative Agent (who shall act following the receipt of the consent of all of the Required Lenders).  Such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
Section 10.Notices, Etc.  All notices, demands, instructions and other communications required or permitted to be given to or made upon any Person pursuant hereto shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered or sent by registered, certified or express mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, by recognized overnight courier service or by facsimile transmission, and shall be deemed to be given for purposes of this Guaranty, in the case of a notice sent by registered, certified or express mail, or by recognized overnight courier service, on the date that such writing is actually delivered to the intended recipient thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10, or in the case of facsimile transmission, when received and telephonically confirmed. Unless otherwise specified in a notice sent or delivered in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 10, notices, demands, instructions and other communications in writing shall be given to or made upon the subject parties at their respective Notice Addresses (or to their respective facsimile transmission numbers) or at such other address or number as any party may notify to the other parties in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.
Section 11.No Waiver; Remedies.  No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
Section 12.Costs and Expenses.  The Guarantor agrees to pay, and cause to be paid, on demand all costs and expenses actually incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty including, without limitation, the fees and out of pocket expenses of outside counsel to the Administrative Agent with respect thereto.

    19    
        






Section 15.Successors and Assigns.  This Guaranty shall (a) be binding upon the Guarantor and its successors and assigns and (b) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Administrative Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns; provided, however, that any assignment by the Guarantor of its obligations hereunder shall (i) be subject to the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent acting on the instructions of all of the Lenders at their complete discretion, and (ii) only be made to a one hundred percent (100%) owned Affiliate of the Guarantor.  
Section 16.Limitation by Law.  All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Guaranty may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Guaranty are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Guaranty invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.

(i)THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK).
(ii)Consent to Jurisdiction.  The Guarantor irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York state or U.S. federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in any action or proceeding relating to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter arising out of or in connection with this Guaranty or the other Loan Documents and Transaction Documents.  The Guarantor hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state or U.S. federal court.  The Guarantor also hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection to venue or the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding in any such court.
(iii)Appointment for Agent for Service of Process.  The Guarantor hereby (i) irrevocably designates and appoints its chief financial officer (from time to time) at its 
    20    
        






principal executive offices at 1391 Timberlake Manor Parkway, Chesterfield, Missouri 63017 (the "Authorized Agent"), as its agent upon which process may be served in any suit, action or proceeding related to this Guaranty and represents and warrants that the Authorized Agent has accepted such designation and (ii) agrees that service of process upon the Authorized Agent and written notice of said service to the Guarantor mailed or delivered by a recognized international courier service (with proof of delivery) to its Secretary or any Assistant Secretary at its office at 1391 Timberlake Manor Parkway, Chesterfield, Missouri 63017, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Guarantor in any such suit or proceeding.  The Guarantor further agrees to take any and all action, including the execution and filing of any and all such documents and instruments, as may be necessary to continue such designation and appointment of the Authorized Agent in full force and effect so long as the Guaranty is in existence.
(iv)Waiver of Immunities.  To the extent that the Guarantor or any of its properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter become entitled to, or have attributed to them, any right of immunity, on the grounds of sovereignty, from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from set-off or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any court, from service of process, from attachment upon or prior to judgment, or from attachment in aid of execution of judgment, or from execution of judgment, or other legal process or proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the enforcement of any judgment, in any jurisdiction in which proceedings may at any time be commenced, with respect to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Guaranty or any other Loan Documents and Transaction Documents, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waives and agrees not to plead or claim any such immunity and consents to such relief and enforcement.
(v)Taxes.  
(1)  Any payments by or on behalf of the Guarantor to the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes; provided, that if any Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, as determined in good faith by the applicable Withholding Agent, (x) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (y) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Guarantor to the Administrative Agent shall be increased to the extent necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the 
    21    
        






Administrative Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.
(2)Whenever any Indemnified Taxes are payable by the Guarantor, as promptly as possible thereafter the Guarantor shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Guarantor showing payment thereof, a copy of the tax return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Guarantor shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (for its own benefit or for the benefit of a Lender), within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Administrative Agent or any Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Guarantor by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(3)If any Lender (or participant) is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall obtain from such Lender and shall deliver to the Guarantor, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Guarantor, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender (or participant) is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s (or participant’s) reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender (or participant).
(4)If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole good faith discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which the Administrative Agent has been indemnified by the Guarantor or with respect to which the Guarantor has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 18(e), the Administrative Agent (on its own behalf or on behalf of such Lender) shall pay to the Guarantor an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Guarantor under this Section 18(e) with respect to Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or 
    22    
        






such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Guarantor agrees to pay, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the amount paid over to the Guarantor pursuant to this Section 18(e)(iv) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent (for its own benefit or for the benefit of such Lender) in the event that the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 18(e)(iv), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 18(e)(iv) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 18(e)(iv) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or a Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Guarantor.
(vi)Judgment Currency.  The obligations of the Guarantor in respect of any sum due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the "Applicable Creditor") shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the "Judgment Currency") other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the "Agreement Currency"), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Guarantor as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss.  The obligations of the Guarantor contained in this Section shall survive the termination of this Guaranty and the Credit Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder and thereunder.
Section 19.WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  THE GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR FOR ANY TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS GUARANTY AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.  THE GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO THIS GUARANTY, (B) IT HAS RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS GUARANTY AND (C) IT WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON 
    23    
        






THIS WAIVER IN FUTURE DEALINGS RELATED TO THIS GUARANTY.  THE GUARANTOR REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL ADVISERS AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS AFTER CONSULTATION WITH ITS LEGAL ADVISERS.  IN THE EVENT OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR FOR ANY TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS GUARANTY, THIS GUARANTY MAY BE FILED AS EVIDENCE OF THE GUARANTOR’S WAIVER OF A TRIAL BY JURY.
Section 20.Reinstatement.  This Guaranty shall be reinstated to the extent of payments made to the Guarantor as reimbursement of amounts advanced by the Guarantor hereunder.  The Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any part of any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Guaranty Obligations is stayed, rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of BLFC or any other Person.
Section 21.Rabobank Conflict Waiver.  Rabobank acts as Administrative Agent and Lender and may provide other services or facilities from time to time (the "Rabobank Roles").  The Guarantor and each other party hereto acknowledges and consents to any and all Rabobank Roles, waives any objections it may have to any actual or potential conflict of interest caused by Rabobank acting as Administrative Agent or as Lender hereunder and acting as or maintaining any of the Rabobank Roles, and agrees that in connection with any Rabobank Role, Rabobank may take, or refrain from taking, any action which it in its discretion deems appropriate.
Section 22.Setoff.  In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Series 2002-1 Early Amortization Event, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender, to or for the credit or the account of the Guarantor against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantor to such Lender, as applicable, under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured.
If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document upon its Loans in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Loans held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable proportion of Loans.
