	2.6	 	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 by the
directors or other officers of the Company for the purpose of perfecting the present Pledge,
if the Pledgor has failed to comply with any such perfection steps within 10 Business Days of
being notified of that failure and, for the avoidance of doubt, subject to the terms of the
Agreed Security Principles, undertakes to take any such steps itself if so directed by the
Collateral Agent. In particular, should any such steps be required in relation to Future
Shares, the Pledgor undertakes to take any such steps simultaneously to the issuance or
receipt of Future Shares.

	2.8	 	The Pledgor undertakes that during the subsistence of this Pledge Agreement it will not grant
any pledge with lower rank without the prior approval of the Collateral Agent except as
contemplated under the Principal Finance Documents.





3. VOTING RIGHTS AND DIVIDENDS





	3.1	 	As long as this Pledge Agreement remains in force and unless an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Pledgor shall be entitled to receive all dividends, subject to the
terms of and to the extent permitted by the Loan Documents. Following the occurrence of an
Event of Default and provided that such Event of Default is continuing, the Collateral Agent
shall be entitled to receive all dividends (subject to terms of the Principal Finance
Documents) and to apply them in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.






	3.2	 	For the avoidance of doubt, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, this
provision shall not restrict the ability of the Pledgor to amend the articles of association
of the Company so long as any such amendment does not adversely affect the validity or
enforceability of this Pledge or cause an Event of Default to occur.






	3.3	 	Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Pledgor shall be entitled to
exercise all voting rights attached to the Shares and exercise all other rights and powers in
respect of the Shares in a manner which does not adversely affect the validity or
enforceability of this Pledge or cause an Event of Default to occur. Following the occurrence
of an Event of Default and provided that such Event of Default is continuing, the Pledgor
shall not, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, exercise any voting
rights or otherwise in relation to the Shares.






	3.4	 	Following the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, the Collateral Agent
may, by giving a written notice to this effect to the Pledgor and the Company, elect to
exercise the voting rights attaching to the Shares in accordance with the provisions of




-6-









 






	 	 	Article 9 of the Financial Collateral Law in any manner the Collateral Agent deems fit
(including for the avoidance of doubt, in relation to the removal and appointment of
managers). Immediately upon such election being made, the Pledgor shall no longer be entitled
to exercise any voting rights, and, without prejudice to the Pledgor’s ownership of the
pledged Shares, the Collateral Agent may exercise any voting rights attaching to the Shares
as well as the rights of the Pledgor as shareholder in relation to the convening of
shareholder meetings or the adoption of written shareholder resolutions, including, for the
avoidance of doubt (each time within the limits of the rights which the Pledgor has under
applicable laws or the articles of association of the Company), the right to request the
board of managers to convene shareholder meetings and to request items to be added to the
agenda, to convene such meeting itself and to propose and adopt resolutions in written form.
The Pledgor and the Company expressly acknowledge and accept that the Collateral Agent may
exercise such rights and use, where required, the Shares for this purpose. The Pledgor shall
do whatever is necessary in order to ensure that the exercise of the voting rights in these
circumstances is facilitated and becomes possible for the Collateral Agent, including the
issuing of a written proxy in any form or any other document that the Collateral Agent may
require for the purpose of exercising the voting rights.

over or (b) any restriction on the ability to transfer or realise all or any part of

-7-









 












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






	 	4.3.1	 	it shall cooperate with the Collateral Agent and sign or cause to be signed

from time to time reasonably request to perfect and protect this Pledge or to exercise
its rights under this Pledge Agreement;
	 
	 	4.3.2	 	as shareholder of the Company, it shall act in good faith, unless otherwise
permitted under the Principal Finance Documents, to maintain and exercise its rights in
the Company, and in particular shall not knowingly take any steps nor do anything which
would adversely affect the existence of the security interest created hereunder; and
	 
	 	4.3.3	 	without prejudice to Clause 3 (Voting Rights and Dividends), to inform the
Collateral Agent of any meeting of the shareholders, as well as of the agenda thereof
if, in each case, such agenda or meeting would materially and adversely affect the
security interest created under this Pledge Agreement and, in particular, of any
intention to increase the share capital of the Company and/or to issue new shares.





5. POWER OF ATTORNEY





	5.1	 	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 Portfolio must be carried out
as described in Clause 6 (Remedies upon Default) hereunder. The powers under this Clause 5.1
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 obligations hereunder within 10 Business Days of being notified of
that failure.






	5.2	 	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.

Pledgor under this Clause 5.1 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.





6. REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT





	6.1	 	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 Portfolio in the
most favourable manner provided for by Luxembourg law and in particular the Financial
Collateral Law and may, in particular, but without limitation,




-8-









 












	 	6.1.1	 	appropriate the Pledged Portfolio in which case the Pledged Portfolio will
be valued at its 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;
	 
	 	6.1.2	 	sell the Pledged Portfolio in a private sale at normal commercial terms
(conditions commerciales normales), or in a sale organised by a stock exchange (to be

or within a stock exchange);
	 
	 	6.1.3	 	request a judicial decision that the Pledged Portfolio shall be attributed
to the Collateral Agent in discharge of the Secured Obligations following a valuation
of the Pledged Portfolio made by a court appointed expert; 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 Clause 7.2 of this Pledge Agreement.






	7.2	 	The Pledge 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 (b) in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the
First Lien Intercreditor Agreement.






	7.3	 	The Pledge shall be cumulative, in addition to, and independent of every other security which
the Collateral Agent and the 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 the Secured Parties may now or at any time in
the future have in respect of the Secured Obligations.






	7.4	 	This Pledge shall not be prejudiced by any time or indulgence granted to any person, or any
abstention or delay by the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties in perfecting or enforcing
any security interest or rights or remedies that the Collateral Agent or the




-9-









 






	 	 	Secured Parties may now or at any time in the future have from or against the Pledgor or any
other person.






	7.5	 	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.






	7.6	 	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:






	 	7.6.1	 	any amendment to, or any variation, waiver or release of, any Secured
Obligation or of the obligations of any Loan Parties under any other Loan Documents;
	 
	 	7.6.2	 	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;
	 
	 	7.6.3	 	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
	 
	 	7.6.4	 	any other act, event or omission which, but for this Clause 7.5, 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.






	7.7	 	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.

the Secured Parties or any of their agents shall be liable by reason of (a) taking any action

in the case of bad faith, gross negligence or wilful misconduct upon their part.





8. INDEMNITY





	 	 	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 Portfolio.

9. DELEGATION





	 	 	Subject to Section 4.05 of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement (to the extent permitted by
Luxembourg law), 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.

manner affect the Pledge created hereunder over the Pledged Portfolio, as it then shall be

continue to remain in full and valid existence until enforcement, discharge or termination
hereof, as the case may be.

15. SUCCESSORS





	15.1	 	This Pledge Agreement shall remain in effect despite any amalgamation or merger (however
effected) relating to the Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent, and references to the
Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to include any assignee or successor
in title of the Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent and any person who, under any
applicable law, has assumed the rights and obligations of the Secured Parties or the
Collateral Agent hereunder or to which under such laws the same have been transferred or
novated or assigned in any manner.






	15.2	 	For the purpose of Articles 1278 et seq. of the Luxembourg Civil Code and any other relevant

other terms hereof or of any other Loan Documents and in particular Clause 15.1 hereof, the
Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent hereby expressly reserve and the Pledgor agrees to
the preservation of this Pledge Agreement and the Pledge in case of assignment, novation,
amendment or any other transfer of the Secured Obligations or any other rights arising under
the Loan Documents.






	15.3	 	To the extent a further notification or registration or any other step is required by law to
give effect to the above, such further registration shall be made and the Pledgor hereby gives
power of attorney to the Collateral Agent to make any notifications and/or to require any
required registrations to be made in the Shareholders Register, or to take any other steps,
and undertakes to do so itself if so requested by the Collateral Agent.

require written form.

Pledge Agreement and the remaining provisions of this Pledge Agreement shall remain in full

such reasonable manner so as to achieve, without illegality, the intention of the parties with
respect to that severed provision.
