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 3rd day of June, 2009 by Bunge Limited, a company
incorporated under the laws of Bermuda (together with any successors or assigns
permitted hereunder, “BL” or “Guarantor”) to JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A. in its capacity as the administrative agent (together with its successors
and assigns, the “Administrative Agent”) under the Revolving Credit
Agreement, dated as of June 3, 2009 (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 and Euros
(the “Loans”) to BLFC from time to time;


 


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.


 


(a)           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.


 


(b)           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, 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.


 


Section 2.               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.  All payments by the
Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be made in Euros (if made with respect to
principal of and interest on Loans denominated in Euros) or 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 Percentages, (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 from time to time prior thereto BLFC may be free from any payment
obligations under the Loan Documents. 
This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection.


 


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 irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and
the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now or hereafter
acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:


 


(a)           Any
lack of validity or enforceability of or defect or deficiency in the Credit
Agreement, any Transaction Document or Loan Document or any other agreement or
instrument executed in connection with or pursuant thereto;


 


(b)           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 Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto or
executed in connection therewith or pursuant thereto;


 


(c)           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;


 


(d)           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;


 


2

















 


(e)           Any
failure by BLFC in the performance of any obligation with respect to the Credit
Agreement or any other Loan Document;


 


(f)            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;


 


(g)           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;


 


(h)           Any
limitation of BLFC’s obligations pursuant to subsection 8.16(b) of
the Credit Agreement; or


 


(i)            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),
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 therefore, 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.


 


3

















 


Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Guarantor guarantees that it shall pay the Administrative Agent
strictly in accordance with the express terms of any document or agreement
evidencing any Guaranty Obligation.


 


It is the intent of this Section 3
that the Guaranty Obligations hereunder are and shall be irrevocable,
continuing, absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances.


 


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
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 is a continuing guaranty and that it 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.


 


4

















 


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, reimbursement, exoneration,
contribution or indemnification or any right to participate in any claim or
remedy of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against BLFC 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.

independent public accountants, copies of which have heretofore been furnished

(iii)          During
the period from December 31, 2008 to and including the date hereof, except

Change.  Since December 31,

Guarantor and each of its Subsidiaries (i) is duly organized and validly
existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, (ii) has

This Guaranty and each of the other Loan Documents and Transaction Documents
to which the Guarantor and/or any of its Subsidiaries are a party have been
duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Guarantor and each of such
Subsidiaries.  Each of this Guaranty and

(e)           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

proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or,
to the knowledge of the Guarantor, threatened by 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 and
Transaction Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or (b) which
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


(g)           Ownership
of Property; Liens.  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, other than Permitted Liens.

Matters.  The Guarantor and its
Subsidiaries have obtained all permits, licenses and other authorizations that

applicable Environmental Laws, except where the failure to do so would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth
on Schedule II attached hereto, (i) Hazardous Materials have not at


 


7

















 


any time been generated, used, treated or stored on, released or
disposed of on, or transported to or from, any property owned, leased, used,
operated or occupied by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the
best of the Guarantor’s knowledge, any property adjoining or in the vicinity of
any such property except in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws
other than where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) there are no past, pending or
threatened (in writing) Environmental Claims against the Guarantor or any of
its Subsidiaries or any property owned, leased, used, operated or occupied by

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.


 


(i)            No

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

Transaction Documents to which they are a party and all payments of principal,
interest, fees and other amounts hereunder and thereunder are exempt from all
income or withholding taxes, stamp taxes, charges or contributions of Bermuda
or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof, irrespective of the
fact that the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders may have a
representative office or subsidiary in Bermuda. 
Except as otherwise provided herein or therein, the Guarantor is validly
obligated to make all payments due under this Guaranty and each of its Subsidiaries
is validly obligated to make all payments due under the other Loan Documents

(k)           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 provision of law) of the Guarantor.

of Advances.  The proceeds of the
Loans under the Credit Agreement shall be used by BLFC solely to either (i) make

the Guarantor, without limitation, the financial statements required to be
delivered pursuant hereto), which has been made available to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of the Guarantor in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby and the other Loan Documents and Transaction Documents is
complete and correct in all material respects and does not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in

that, with respect to projected financial information provided by or on behalf
of the Guarantor, the Guarantor represents only that such information was
prepared in good faith by management of the Guarantor on the basis of
assumptions believed by such management to be reasonable as of the time made.

Obligors.  On the date hereof, BL
directly or indirectly owns the percentage of the voting stock of each
Designated Obligor (other than BL) set forth on Schedule IV attached hereto.


 


(o)           Restrictions
on Designated Obligors.  There is no
legal or regulatory restriction on the ability of any Designated Obligor to pay
dividends to the Guarantor out of earnings at such times as such Designated
Obligor is not deemed to be insolvent pursuant to the laws of its jurisdiction
of incorporation nor any legal or regulatory restriction preventing the
Guarantor from converting such dividend payments to Dollars or Euros.


 


(p)           Federal
Regulations.  No part of the proceeds
of any advances under the Investor Certificates will be used for “purchasing”

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.


 


(e)                                  Foreign Taxes. 
Any payments by 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 and all present and future income, stamp or other taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or
hereinafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by Bermuda or any
other jurisdiction in which the Guarantor has an office from which payment is
made or deemed to be made, excluding (i) any such tax imposed by reason of
the Administrative Agent, 


 


20

















 


having some connection with any such jurisdiction other than its
participation as the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and
Transaction Documents, and (ii) any income or franchise tax on the overall
net income of the Administrative Agent imposed by the United States or by the
State of New York or any political subdivision of the United States or of the
State of New York on the office of the Administrative Agent through which it is
acting in connection with this transaction (all such non-excluded taxes, “Foreign
Taxes”).  If the Guarantor is
prevented by operation of law or otherwise from paying, causing to be paid or
remitting that portion of amounts payable hereunder represented by Foreign
Taxes withheld or deducted, then amounts payable under this Guaranty shall, to
the extent permitted by law, be increased to such amount as is necessary to
yield and remit to the Administrative Agent an amount which, after deduction of
all Foreign Taxes (including all Foreign Taxes payable on such increased
payments) equals the amount that would have been payable if no Foreign Taxes
applied.  Whenever any Foreign 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.  If the Guarantor fails to pay any Foreign
Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the
Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary
evidence, the Guarantor shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become
payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such
failure.


 


(f)                                    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 AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.


 


21

















 


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.                                      JPMorgan Chase Conflict Waiver. 
JPMorgan Chase acts as Administrative Agent and Lender and may provide
other services or facilities from time to time (the “JPMorgan Chase Roles”).  The Guarantor and each other party hereto
acknowledges and consents to any and all JPMorgan Chase Roles, waives any
objections it may have to any actual or potential conflict of interest caused
by JPMorgan Chase acting as Administrative Agent or as Lender hereunder and
acting as or maintaining any of the JPMorgan Chase Roles, and agrees that in
connection with any JPMorgan Chase Role, JPMorgan Chase 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.
