Credit Classification: Activity: 12 Services, Class: 05 Credit Restructuring, Subclass: 12503 Operation Liabilities cancellation to third parties, Use of Resources: Transfer. Limit: 12103 Libor Rate.

 

FOURTH: DELIVERY METHOD. Once the applicant has contributed the formalization expenses and signed the legal documents, the procedure will be as follows:

 

1.Deposit to a national or international account in favor of each creditor according to the debt certification issued by each of them at the date of disbursement of this financing. The amounts of liabilities with Banco Davivienda will be disbursed according to the provided liability certification at the time of formalization. If for any reason one of the liabilities decreased, generating a surplus in the amount designated for its cancellation, but another liability increased, this surplus can be used to apply to the operation with a higher balance, always respecting the maximum financing amount.
2.Disbursements may be made directly to the debtor’s account when, during the credit analysis process, the debtor executes balance amortization (with own resources) for any of the debts considered within the investment plan, which must be duly documented, and in no case shall the executed disbursements exceed the approved credit amount.
3.Compensation will be made through SINPE fund transfer to the account indicated by the company. This transfer will take place when the company registers the social capital.
4.Once the transactions are canceled or any reimbursement is generated to the debtor, in case of a surplus, it is applied as an extraordinary credit or the pending disbursement is eliminated, and in the case of deficiencies for total cancellation, the debtor must contribute the required amount.

 

The debtor declares that they have been informed and accept that disbursements of this loan will be made according to the availability of funds from the Bank, as possible restrictions from the Government of the Republic or provisions of the Bank itself aimed at safeguarding the minimum financial ratios established by the regulatory bodies of banking activity, especially but not limited to the regulations of the National Council for the Supervision of the Financial System and/or the General Superintendence of Financial Entities, in the exercise of the powers conferred by law, could have an effect on the disbursement of funds. The debtor agrees and accepts that the Bank is authorized to retain or suspend the delivery of one or more of such partial disbursements if the debtor is not up to date on payments, both for this and other direct or indirect credit transactions maintained with the Bank.

 

Before the disbursement of funds corresponding to the capital reimbursement:

 

It is requested to increase the amount of the installments (social capital) by an amount not less than $13,300,000, which must be registered prior to the disbursement of funds corresponding to the capital reimbursement.

 

FIFTH: OBLIGATION PAYMENT. The debtor undertakes to pay its obligation to the creditor during the agreed term through adjustable and consecutive monthly installments, payable in advance, comprising principal and interest, with the balance due at maturity, which, based on today’s interest rate, amount to the sum of $424,404.62 approximately each, except for the last installment, which will be for the balance of the entire obligation at that time. The installment does not include commissions or insurance. The installment amount will vary each time the interest rate changes. The National Bank of Costa Rica is authorized to continuously and successively debit the payments stipulated in this credit from the current accounts in the name of Latam Logistic CR Propco Alajuela I SRL, which will be made on the 5th of each month. Therefore, they undertake to maintain in the indicated account on the payment date a confirmed available balance at least equal to the amount of the corresponding payments. Any partial or total extraordinary payment must be made on the agreed ordinary payment dates. The debtor declares to be aware and accept that the indicated installment amount is not a fixed amount but may vary according to changes in the interest rate, as established in this contract.

SIXTH: PLACE OF PAYMENT OF THE OBLIGATION. The debtor agrees and accepts that any payment in legal tender will be made at any of the Bank’s open offices during normal business hours or through the electronic means made available by the Bank to its clients.

 

SEVENTH: REGULAR INTEREST. The debtor expressly agrees and accepts that the debt will accrue regular annual interest, periodically adjustable, calculated on the outstanding capital balance, payable monthly in advance, from the date of the signing of this document, according to the following scheme:

 

1.For the period covering month 1 to month 12, the interest rate will be fixed at 5.90%.
2.For the period covering month 13 to month 24, the interest rate will be fixed at 6.20%.
3.For the period covering month 25 to month 300, the interest rate will be variable and adjustable, and will be constituted by the CME TERM SOFR rate at a 3-month term plus 1.40 percentage points.

 

The variable interest rate is the result of the combination of a fixed factor called margin and a variable component constituted by the CME TERM SOFR rate at a 3-month term, which is calculated and published by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and is available on the international financial and transactional information platform Bloomberg, which will constitute sufficient evidence for the verification of that rate.

 

Interest will be adjusted periodically according to the variations in the CME TERM SOFR rate in accordance with the provisions of articles 70 of the Organic Law of the National Banking System and 497 of the Commercial Code. When this credit is established, the periodicity of the interest rate adjustment will be quarterly, but the debtor expressly and irrevocably accepts that the Bank may in the future make this adjustment on a monthly, bimonthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual basis.

 

The parties expressly agree that in the event of any of the following transition events regarding the CME TERM SOFR rate, the Bank will inform the debtor by communication sent to the following email address designated by the debtor: annette@latamlp.com / randall@latamlp.com / jennifer@latamlp.com (1) A public declaration or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the reference rate (or the components used in its calculation) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the reference rate (or the components for its calculation) permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time such declaration or publication is made, there is no replacement administrator continuing to provide the reference rate (or the components for its calculation); (2) A public declaration or publication of information by either a regulatory entity or local or international supervisory body, regulating or supervising the administrator of the reference rate (or the components for its calculation), an insolvency officer with jurisdiction over the administrator of the reference rate, or a court, entity, or jurisdictional body with authority over the administrator of the reference rate, stating that the administrator of the reference rate has ceased or will cease to provide the reference rate (or the components for its calculation) permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time such declaration or publication is made, there is no replacement administrator continuing to provide the reference rate (or the components for its calculation); (3) A public declaration or publication of information by a regulatory entity or local or international supervisory body with jurisdiction over the administrator of the reference rate (or the components for its calculation) announcing that such reference rate (or the components for its calculation) is not representative. The debtor understands and accepts that it is their sole responsibility to inform the Bank expressly and in writing, signed in handwritten or digital form or by digitally signed email, of any change in the address indicated. Otherwise, communications made to the medium indicated here will be deemed valid for all purposes. The debtor will have a maximum period of 90 natural days, counted from the date the Bank communicates the occurrence of any transition events, within which they may exercise the option to cancel the total outstanding balance under the interest rate conditions then in effect, without any penalty for early payment. This will apply only if the obligation is canceled in its entirety. Payments due during the established 90 natural days, and while the debtor has not exercised the option to cancel the entire obligation, must be made based on the last published CME TERM SOFR rate at 3 months.

If, within the established 90 natural days, the debtor does not exercise the option to cancel the entire obligation, they expressly and irrevocably accept that the current interest rate of the credit will be replaced and, as of the end of the 90 natural days, will be constituted as follows:

 

1.The interest rate for the remaining period from month 1 to month 12, in case this has not been completed at the time of substitution, will be a fixed rate of 5.90%.
2.The interest rate for the remaining period from month 13 to month 24, in case this has not been completed at the time of substitution, will be a fixed rate of 6.20%.
3.The interest rate for the remaining period from month 25 to month 300, in case this has not been completed at the time of substitution, will be variable and adjustable, constituted by the Interbank Reference Rate (TRI) in dollars at a 6-month term plus 1.90 percentage points.

 

The change in the reference interest rate will not affect payments already made during the term of the loan, so it will have no retroactive effects. The variable interest rate is the result of the combination of a fixed factor called margin and a variable component constituted by the Interbank Reference Rate in dollars at a 6-month term, which is calculated by the firm Proveedor Integral de Precios Centroamérica S.A. (PIPCA) and is published on the website www.piplatam.com/Home/filiales?country=CR, of the firm Proveedor Integral de Precios Centroamérica S.A. (PIPCA), as well as on the website of the Central Bank of Costa Rica and on the BLOOMBERG financial information system website, which will constitute sufficient evidence for the verification of that rate. The interest rate will be adjusted periodically according to the variations observed in the variable factor at each review opportunity, in accordance with the provisions of articles 70 of the Organic Law of the National Banking System and 497 of the Commercial Code. The adjustment of this interest rate will be made semiannually, but the debtor expressly and irrevocably accepts that the Bank may in the future make this adjustment on a monthly, bimonthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual basis.

 

The debtor agrees and accepts that in case the loan is governed by the substitute rate, no type of notification or notice will be necessary, nor the signing of additional documents to this contract, so the application of the substitute rate will be automatic. The debtor expressly declares that prior to the signing of this contract, the Bank informed them about the possibility that the CME TERM SOFR rate governing this loan may cease to be calculated and published during the term of the contract, as well as about the need derived from the above, to foresee in the contract a reference rate to replace the CME TERM SOFR rate if necessary. In this regard, the debtor declares that they are aware and accept that the Bank informed them that the replacement rate available in case of substitution of the CME TERM SOFR rate is the Interbank Reference Rate (TRI) in dollars. Likewise, the debtor expressly declares that prior to the signing of this contract, the Bank provided them with written, clear, updated, and sufficient information about the CME TERM SOFR rate, including information regarding how this interest rate is determined and the formula for calculating interest, through the delivery of an Informational Brochure whose content and acknowledgment of receipt by the debtor are part of the loan file. In the same sense, the debtor declares that the Bank expressly informed them of the means through which they could request additional information or raise any questions regarding the CME TERM SOFR rate. In virtue of the above, the debtor expressly declares that they have decided to voluntarily and fully informedly acquire this loan referenced to the CME TERM SOFR rate.

EIGHTH: MODIFICATION OF CURRENT INTEREST: The debtor states that she has been informed and expressly and irrevocably accepts that this credit is formalized with the current interest rate established in this contract, considering her credit history and trajectory with the Bank, and in accordance with the regulations issued by the General Superintendence of Financial Entities (SUGEF), especially the Regulations for the Qualification of Debtors Agreement SUGEF 01-05, and specifically for credit operations carried out under the framework of the Banking System for Development, the Regulations on Management and Evaluation of Credit Risk for the Banking System for Development Agreement SUGEF 15-16, which develops the general framework for credit risk management for operations carried out under Law 9274 and its Regulation. These rules aim to quantify and manage the credit risk of debtors and include, among other things, criteria for analyzing the ability to pay and the historical payment behavior of debtors, as well as the level of delay in paying credit obligations, and constitute publicly accessible information that can be consulted on the website of the General Superintendence of Financial Entities www.sugef.fi.cr. According to the aforementioned criteria, as of the date of signing this contract, the debtor is classified in the risk category A1. In the event that, at any time during the term of this credit, either through analysis by SUGEF, Internal Audit, or any of the internal control bodies of the Bank, it is verified that the debtor, for reasons attributable to her, has incurred any of the causes or criteria provided for in the SUGEF regulations, which results in the reclassification of the debtor’s risk category to a higher category than indicated in this clause, she declares that she has been informed and expressly and irrevocably accepts that the margin of the credit interest rate will be increased by an additional 2 percentage points to what is agreed, without the need for notification or prior notice. In the same vein, the debtor declares that she has been informed and expressly and irrevocably accepts that the margin of the interest rate may be increased under the same terms, in the following cases: a) The debtor fails to fulfill her obligation to present financial information, among others but not limited to Financial Statements, Salary Certificate, Certification of Income, within the period and timeframe indicated by the Bank, demonstrating the origin and level of current income of the debtor and other obligors, including guarantors, in order to assess their ability to pay as provided by SUGEF. b) The debtor revokes the authorization for the Bank to consult her information from the Credit Information Center (CIC) of SUGEF. c) In case, for reasons attributable to the debtor, it is not possible to make the annotation or registration, as the case may be, before the corresponding Public Registry, of the document constituting the guarantee of this obligation. d) When, due to reasons attributable to the debtor or the owner of the property given as collateral, the Bank cannot carry out follow-up inspections on the property given as collateral, or cannot carry out visits to the property to prepare a new appraisal. e) The debtor does not submit the copy of the payment receipt for insurance or renewals of policies with the chosen insurance entity, in which the acquisition and validity of the required policies are proven, presenting the established coverages, and where the Bank is identified as the beneficiary creditor. f) The debtor fails to comply with the investment plan of the credit, modifying the destination or form of exploitation of the property financed by the Bank. In the event that, having applied the increase in the interest rate for any of the reasons provided in this clause, the debtor recovers the risk category she had when the credit was granted, or normalizes the situation that led to the increase in the interest rate, and as long as there is no other cause for an increase as provided here, the Bank will adjust the margin of the interest rate, starting from the next payment period of the current interest, according to the frequency agreed in this contract, eliminating the applied increase. The debtor declares that she knows and accepts that this adjustment of the interest rate will not have retroactive effects, so the Bank will not refund sums paid as interest according to the terms of this clause.

The commission for the transfer to judicial collection will in no case be less than 10,000.00 colones nor greater than 250,000.00 colones. This payment must be repeated each time the operation is to be transferred to judicial collection.

Likewise, the debtor undertakes to keep this insurance in force until the expiration or total payment of this obligation and undertakes to keep the Bank informed, by suitable means, of the periodic renewals she makes of the insurance. Failure to comply with the obligations established in this clause will entitle the Bank to declare the obligation due and demand it in full through legal means. It is established between the parties that, if for any cause or circumstance there is a lack of contracting or renewal of the policies attached to this credit, this does not generate any responsibility for Banco.
