	2.	 	PLEDGE OVER PLEDGED CLAIMS

	2.2	 	Without prejudice to the above provisions, the Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorises
and empowers the Collateral Agent to take or to cause any formal steps to be taken for the
purpose of perfecting the present Pledge, if the Pledgor has failed to comply with such
perfection steps within 10 Business Days of being notified of that failure and, for the
avoidance of doubt, subject to the Agreed Security Principles, undertakes to take any such
steps itself if so directed by the Collateral Agent.
	 
	2.3	 	Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Pledgor is
authorised by the Collateral Agent to collect and exercise any rights and claims in respect
of the Pledged Claims in accordance with the Principal Finance Documents.
	 
	2.4	 	The Pledgor undertakes that, during the subsistence of the Pledge Agreement, it will
not grant any pledge with a lower ranking without the prior approval of the Collateral Agent
except as contemplated under the Principal Finance Documents.
	 
	3.	 	PLEDGOR’S REPRESENTATIONS AND UNDERTAKINGS
	 
	3.1	 	The Pledgor hereby represents to the Collateral Agent that, as of the date hereof,
except as permitted by the Principal Finance Documents:






	 	3.1.1	 	no counterclaims as to which a right to set-off or right of retention could
be exercised exist with respect to the Pledged Claims except those permitted to exist
under the Principal Finance Documents; and
	 
	 	3.1.2	 	confirms to the Collateral Agent the representations contained in Section
3.02, 3.03 and 3.19 of the Credit Agreement.
	 
	 	3.1.3	 	Unless permitted by the terms of the Principal Finance Documents, except
with the Collateral Agent’s prior written consent, the Pledgor shall not:sell or
otherwise dispose of all or any of its rights, title and interest in the Pledged
Claims; or
	 
	 	3.1.4	 	create, grant or permit to exist (a) any encumbrance or security interest
over or (b) any restriction on the ability to transfer or realise, all or any part of
the Pledged Claims (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Pledge, and liens and
privileges arising mandatorily by law).






	3.2	 	The Pledgor hereby undertakes that, subject to the Agreed Security Principles, during
the subsistence of this Pledge Agreement:




- 4 -









 







	 	3.2.1	 	it will ensure that no counterclaims as to which a right to set-off or right
of retention could be exercised will exist with respect to the Pledged Claims except
those permitted to exist under the Principal Finance Documents;
	 
	 	3.2.2	 	it shall cooperate with the Collateral Agent and sign or cause to be signed
all such further documents and take all such further action as the Collateral Agent may
from time to time reasonably request to perfect and protect this Pledge or to exercise
its rights under this Pledge Agreement;
	 
	 	3.2.3	 	it shall act in good faith and, unless otherwise permitted by the Principal
Finance Documents, not knowingly take any steps nor do anything which would adversely
affect the existence of the Pledge created hereunder;
	 
	 	3.2.4	 	it shall inform the Collateral Agent as soon as possible in case the Pledge
is prejudiced or jeopardised by actions of third parties (including, but without being
limited to, by attachments). Such information shall be accompanied, in case of any
attachment, by a copy of the order for attachment, as well as all documents required
for the filing of an objection against the attachment, and, in case of any other
actions by third parties, by copies evidencing which actions have or will be taken,
respectively, as well as all documents required for the filing of an objection against
such actions. Subject to Clause 11 (Costs and Expenses) hereof, all reasonable and
adequately documented costs and expenses for any actions of intervention and measures
of the Collateral Agent shall be borne by the Pledgor. This shall also apply to the
institution of legal action, which the Collateral Agent may consider necessary; and
	 
	 	3.2.5	 	it shall notify the Collateral Agent as soon as possible of any event or
circumstance which would have a material adverse effect on the validity or
enforceability of this Pledge Agreement.






	3.3	 	Subject to the Agreed Security Principles, the Pledgor hereby undertakes that it will
comply with all reasonably necessary procedures and fulfil all perfection requirements
reasonably required for the effectiveness and the enforceability of this Pledge against the
Pledgor, including but not limited thereto all the measures foreseen under Luxembourg and
Austrian law or the law of any other relevant jurisdiction.
	 
	4.	 	POWER OF ATTORNEY
	 
	4.1	 	The Pledgor irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent to be its attorney and in its
name and on its behalf to execute, deliver and perfect all documents and do all things that
the Collateral Agent may consider to be requisite for (a) carrying out any obligation imposed
on the Pledgor under this Pledge Agreement or (b) exercising any of the rights conferred on
the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties by this Pledge Agreement or by law, it being
understood that the enforcement of the pledge over the Pledged Claims must be carried out as
described in Clause 5 (Remedies upon Default) hereunder. The powers under this Clause 4.1
shall only be exercised upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and provided that such
Event of Default is continuing, or if the Pledgor has failed to comply with a further
assurance or any perfection obligation hereunder within 10 Business Days of being notified of
that failure.




- 5 -









 






	4.2	 	The Pledgor shall ratify and confirm all things done and all documents executed by
the Collateral Agent in the exercise of that power of attorney.
	 
	4.3	 	The Collateral Agent shall not be obliged to exercise the powers conferred upon it by
the Pledgor under this Clause 4.1 unless and until it shall have been (a) instructed to do so
by the Applicable Representative and (b) indemnified and/or secured and/or prefunded to its
satisfaction.
	 
	5.	 	REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT
	 
	5.1	 	Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and provided that such Event of Default is
continuing, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to realise the Pledged Claims in the most
favourable manner provided for by Luxembourg law and in particular the Financial Collateral
Law, and may, in particular, but without limitation,






	 	5.1.1	 	appropriate the Pledged Claims in which case the Pledged Claims will be
valued at their fair value, as determined by an independent expert appointed by the
Collateral Agent, to the extent possible among the members of the Institut
Luxembourgeois des réviseurs d’entreprises or, if no such appointment can be made or no
valuation can be obtained within a reasonable time, by the Collateral Agent in its
commercially reasonable discretion. The Collateral Agent may appoint a qualified third
party to make (or to assist the Collateral Agent in making) such valuation;
	 
	 	5.1.2	 	sell the Pledged Claims in a private sale at normal commercial terms
(conditions commerciales normales); or
	 
	 	5.1.3	 	request direct payment of the Pledged Claims from the Debtor and the
Collateral Agent (or the Secured Parties, as the case may be) may proceed to a set-off
between the Pledged Claims and the Secured Obligations (each time in accordance with
the terms of the Financial Collateral Law).






	5.2	 	The Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of the sale in paying the costs of that
sale or disposal and in or towards the discharge of the Secured Obligations, in accordance
with the terms of the Loan Documents.
	 
	6.	 	EFFECTIVENESS OF COLLATERAL
	 
	6.1	 	The Pledge shall be a continuing security and shall not be considered as satisfied or
discharged or prejudiced by any intermediate payment, satisfaction or settlement of any part
of the Secured Obligations and shall remain in full force and effect until it has been
discharged in accordance with the terms of Clause 6.2 of the Pledge Agreement.
	 
	6.2	 	The security constituted by this Pledge Agreement shall be released and cancelled (a)
by the Collateral Agent at the request and cost of the Pledgor, upon the Secured Obligations
being irrevocably paid or discharged in full and none of the Secured Parties being under any
further actual or contingent obligation to make advances or provide other financial
accommodation to the Pledgor or any other person under any of the Loan Documents; or




- 6 -









 






	 	 	(b)  in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the First Lien Intercreditor
Agreement.
	 
	6.3	 	The Pledge shall be cumulative, in addition to, and independent of every other
security which the Collateral Agent and Secured Parties may at any time hold as security for
the Secured Obligations or any rights, powers and remedies provided by law and shall not
operate so as in any way to prejudice or affect or be prejudiced or affected by any security
interest or other right or remedy which the Collateral Agent and Secured Parties may now or at
any time in the future have in respect of the Secured Obligations.
	 
	6.4	 	This Pledge shall not be prejudiced by any time or indulgence granted to any person,
or any abstention or delay by the Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent in perfecting or
enforcing any security interest or rights or remedies that the Secured Parties or the
Collateral Agent may now or at any time in the future have from or against the Pledgor or any
other person.
	 
	6.5	 	No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties to exercise, or
delay on its part in exercising, any of its rights under this Pledge Agreement shall operate
as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any
further or other exercise of that or any other rights.
	 
	6.6	 	Neither the obligations of the Pledgor contained in this Pledge Agreement nor the
rights, powers and remedies conferred upon the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties by this
Pledge Agreement or by law, nor the Pledge created hereby shall be discharged, impaired or
otherwise affected by:






	 	6.6.1	 	any amendment to, or any variation, waiver or release of, any Secured
Obligation or of the obligations of any Loan Party under any other Loan Documents;
	 
	 	6.6.2	 	any failure to take, or fully to take, any security contemplated by the Loan
Documents or otherwise agreed to be taken in respect of the Secured Obligations;
	 
	 	6.6.3	 	any failure to realise or fully to realise the value of, or any release,
discharge, exchange or substitution of, any security taken in respect of the Secured
Obligations; or
	 
	 	6.6.4	 	any other act, event or omission which, but for this Clause 6.5, might
operate to discharge, impair or otherwise affect any of the obligations of the Pledgor
contained in this Pledge Agreement, the rights, powers and remedies conferred upon the
Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties by this Pledge Agreement, the Pledge or by law.






	6.7	 	For the avoidance of doubt, the Pledgor hereby waives any rights arising for it now
or in the future (if any) under Article 2037 of the Luxembourg Civil Code.
	 
	6.8	 	Subject to the terms of the Principal Finance Documents, neither the Secured Parties,
nor the Collateral Agent or any of their agents shall be liable by reason of (a) taking any
action permitted by this Pledge Agreement or (b) any neglect or default in connection




- 7 -









 






	 	 	with the Pledged Claims or (c) the realisation of all or any part of the Pledged Claims,
except in the case of bad faith, gross negligence or wilful misconduct upon their part.

	7.1	 	To the extent set out in Section 4.11 of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the
Pledgor shall, notwithstanding any release or discharge of all or any part of the security,
indemnify the Collateral Agent, its agents, its attorneys and any delegate against any action,
proceeding, claims, losses, liabilities, expenses, demands, taxes, and costs which it may
sustain as a consequence of any breach by the Pledgor of the provisions of this Pledge
Agreement, the exercise or purported exercise of any of the rights and powers conferred on
them by this Pledge Agreement or otherwise relating to the Pledged Claims.
	 
	8.	 	DELEGATION
	 
	8.1	 	Subject to Section 4.05 of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement (to the extent
permitted by Luxembourg law), each of the Collateral Agent shall have full power to delegate
(either generally or specifically) the powers, authorities and discretions conferred on it by
this Pledge Agreement (including the power of attorney) on such terms and conditions as it
shall see fit which delegation shall not preclude either the subsequent exercise, any
subsequent delegation or any revocation of such power, authority or discretion by the
Collateral Agent itself.
	 
	9.	 	RIGHTS OF RECOURSE
	 
	9.1	 	For as long as the Secured Obligations are outstanding and have not been
unconditionally and irrevocably paid and discharged in full or the Collateral Agent or the
Secured Parties have any obligations under the Loan Documents, the Pledgor shall not exercise
any Rights of Recourse, arising for any reason whatsoever, by any means whatsoever (including
for the avoidance of doubt, by way of provisional measures such as provisional attachment
(“saisie-arrêt conservatoire”) or by way of set-off.
	 
	9.2	 	The Pledgor irrevocably agrees to waive its Rights of Recourse if the relevant person
against whom the Rights of Recourse are to be exercised has come under the direct or indirect
control of the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties or any third party following or in
connection with, the enforcement of any security granted in connection with the Secured
Obligations.
	 
	9.3	 	Without prejudice to Clause 9.1 above, this clause shall remain in full force and

	 	 	Subject to Clause 5 (Remedies upon Default), the Collateral Agent shall be entitled, to
request enforcement of the Pledge over all or part of the Pledged Claims in its most absolute
discretion. No action, choice or absence of action in this respect, or partial enforcement,
shall in any manner affect the Pledge created hereunder over the Pledged Claims, as it then
shall be. The Pledge shall continue to remain in full and valid existence until enforcement,
discharge or termination hereof, as the case may be.

	 	 	Section 9.05 (Expenses, Indemnity) of the Credit Agreement applies to this Agreement.

discharge of, any of the Secured Obligations the Collateral Agent may convert any money
received, recovered or realised or subject to application by it under this Pledge Agreement
from one currency to another, as the Collateral Agent (acting reasonably) may think fit and
any such conversion shall be effected at the Collateral Agent’s spot rate of exchange for the
time being for obtaining such other currency with the first currency.

novated or assigned in any manner.
