LOAN AVAILABILITY AND DISBURSEMENTS

 

Section 2.01        The IFC Loan. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Common Terms Agreement, IFC agrees to lend, and the Borrower agrees to borrow from IFC, an amount based on the Real equivalent of up to US$200,000,000, such amount not to exceed the Total Reais IFC Cap Amount (the “IFC Commitment”), which shall be disbursed in Dollars in accordance with procedures described in Section 2.04 (Disbursement Procedures) and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to each such IFC Disbursement set forth herein and in the Common Terms Agreement. The IFC Loan shall be repaid in Dollar Equivalent amounts determined with reference to the IFC Loan amount outstanding in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 (Repayment of the IFC Loan).

 

(b)         IFC shall be under no obligation to make any IFC Disbursement if, after giving effect to such IFC Disbursement, the aggregate of all amounts disbursed to the Borrower would be in excess of the IFC Commitment (as such amount may be reduced upon cancellation of the undisbursed portion of the IFC Loan by IFC or by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.10 (Suspension and Cancellation of IFC Commitment)).

 

Section 2.02       Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the IFC Loan (a) shall be applied exclusively to pay or reimburse Project Costs and (b) shall not be used for expenditures in the territories of any country that is not a member of the World Bank or for goods produced in or services supplied from any such country.

 

Section 2.03       The Principal Amount of IFC Loan. (a) For the avoidance of doubt, and for purposes of calculating the amount of any principal or interest payment due in relation to an IFC Disbursement, the outstanding principal amount from time to time of that IFC Disbursement shall be deemed to be the Notional Reais Principal Amount specified in the relevant Confirmation, as such amount may be reduced from time to time upon becoming payable in Dollar Equivalent amounts (whether as scheduled payments on any IFC Principal Repayment Date or upon prepayment or acceleration), and in the event any such Dollar Equivalent amount is not paid by the Borrower when due, such amount shall accrue interest in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.08 (Default Interest Rate).

 

(b)         In respect of any IFC Disbursement, when a disruption in the Reais/Dollar exchange markets results in IFC being unable to determine the Dollar Equivalent of any amount in respect of principal or interest required to be paid under this Agreement, and the applicable IFC Hedge Counterparty is unable to advise IFC of the Real/Dollar rate applicable thereto, the due date for the relevant payment of principal or interest in respect of such IFC Disbursement shall be postponed, and upon IFC being able to determine the Dollar Equivalent in accordance with prevailing market practice or upon such Real/Dollar rate being advised to IFC by the applicable IFC Hedge Counterparty, IFC shall notify the Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent so determined or advised to IFC and the Borrower shall make the relevant payment of principal or interest two (2) Local and New York Business Days after the date of such notice; provided, however, that for purposes of determining amounts of interest to be paid on such date, there shall be no adjustment in the IFC Interest Period on which such payment is based.

(c)          Payment in full of the Dollar Equivalent of each Notional Reais Principal Amount (whether at scheduled maturity, upon prepayment or acceleration) shall be deemed to be repayment in full of the principal amount disbursed in respect of the relevant Disbursement.

(ii)          Disbursement Readiness Notice. In the case of any IFC Disbursement, provided that IFC is satisfied that all conditions for that IFC Disbursement (A) have been satisfied no later than the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the estimated Disbursement Date in respect of such IFC Disbursement or (B) solely with respect to conditions that can only be satisfied on such Disbursement Date, will be satisfied substantially concurrently with such IFC Disbursement, IFC shall deliver to the Borrower a Disbursement Readiness Notice in the form of Schedule I (Form of Disbursement Readiness Notice) no later than the date that is eight (8) Local and Washington Business Days prior to the estimated Disbursement Date in respect of the relevant IFC Disbursement, which Disbursement Readiness Notice shall remain valid and effective for a period of twenty (20) Local and Washington Business Days from the date of such notice, unless withdrawn or cancelled by IFC during such period pursuant to clause (B) of the proviso in this clause (a) of this Section 2.04 (Disbursement Procedure);

ANNEX A

to

 Loan Agreement

 

METHODOLOGY FOR CALCULATION OF MAKE WHOLE AMOUNT

 

This annex explains how the Make Whole Amount associated with a prepayment or acceleration of an IFC Disbursement will be calculated.

 

The calculation of the Make Whole Amount in relation to any IFC Disbursement will be based on the termination value for IFC of a non-deliverable cross-currency swap (“Hedge Swap”) having the following structure:

 

(i) IFC paying the Dollar Equivalent amount of the Reais Notional Amount (as defined below) adjusted by the relevant IPCA indexes and interest at the Disbursement Fixed Base Rate on the pay leg of the Hedge Swap;

 

(ii) IFC receiving the Dollars Notional Amount (as defined below) and interest at 6-month LIBOR on the receive leg of the Hedge Swap; and

 

(iii) The amortization of the Hedge Swap corresponding to the outstanding amortization of the IFC Disbursement that is being prepaid or accelerated.

 

The total Make Whole Amount payable under the Agreement will be the sum of the individual Make Whole Amount calculated for each IFC Disbursement.

 

Calculation Methodology

 

The Make Whole Amount in respect of each IFC Disbursement is calculated as the greater of (a) Difference Amount and (b) zero, where the “Difference Amount” is the Dollar amount calculated with reference to the Early Repayment Date equal to the difference of (x) the present value of the pay leg of the Hedge Swap and (y) the Reais Notional Amount (adjusted by the relevant IPCA indexes). The present value of the pay leg of the Hedge Swap will be determined by IFC based on market conditions at the time of prepayment or acceleration of the IFC Disbursement3. The Dollar Equivalent amount will be determined using the Early Payment Fixing Rate on the relevant Valuation Date.

 

For purposes of this Annex, the terms below have the following meaning:

 

“Reais Notional Amount”: the portion of the Notional Reais Principal Amount being prepaid or accelerated.

 

“Dollars Notional Amount”: the USD equivalent of Reais Notional Amount using the Notional Real/Dollar Exchange Rate set at the time of the IFC Disbursement.

 

 

1 Calculated in accordance with Reais/Dollar swap market conventions and ensuring IFC recovers any breakage cost on the receive leg of the Hedge Swap
