	 	(v)	in general to realise or, as the case may be, to appropriate the Pledged Shares in the most favourable manner permitted by the laws of Luxembourg.


  

	8.2	Sale of Pledged Assets. With reference to Clause 8.1 (ii), the Pledgee may enforce its rights hereunder without any other notice and without compliance with any
other condition precedent now or hereunder imposed by law (all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Pledgor, to the fullest extent permitted by law). The Pledgee may sell any part or all of the Pledged Shares and the Pledged PECs at any
public sale or at private sale,. it being understood that such sale is only possible to the extent that in case of several transferees, each transferee’s ownership percentage of PECs remains identical to its ownership percentage of Shares of
the Company in order to comply with the transfer restrictions provided by Clause 3.4 of the terms and conditions relating to PEC. The Pledgee may apply the cash proceeds actually received from any sale or other disposition to the reasonable expenses
of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like, to reasonable attorneys’ fees, travel and all other expenses which may be incurred by the Pledgee in attempting to collect the Obligations or to enforce this Agreement or in the
prosecution or defense of any action or proceeding related to the subject matter of this Agreement, and then to the Obligations pursuant to the terms of the Facility Agreement. Only after such applications, and after payment by the Pledgee of any
amount required by §9-608(a)(1)(C) or §9-615(a)(3) of the UCC, need the Pledgee account to the Pledgor for any surplus. 

  

	8.3	Private Sales. With reference to Clause8.1 (ii), any sale of the Pledged Shares and Pledged PECs shall be made in a commercially reasonable manner, and the
Pledgor agrees to use its best efforts to cause the issuer of the Pledged Shares and Pledged PEC contemplated to be sold, to execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such issuer to execute and deliver, all at the Pledgor’s
expense, all such instruments and documents, and to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary or, in the reasonable opinion of the Pledgee, advisable to exempt such Pledged Share from registration under the provisions
of the Securities Act, and to make all amendments to such instruments and documents which, in the opinion of the Pledgee, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. The Pledgor further agrees to use its best efforts, to the extent that it does not conflict with Luxembourg law, to cause such issuer or issuers to comply with the provisions of the securities
or “Blue Sky” laws of any jurisdiction which the Pledgee shall designate and, if required, to cause such issuer to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will
satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act. 

  

	8.4	 Pledgor’s Agreements, etc. The Pledgor further agrees, to the extent that it does not conflict with Luxembourg law, to do or cause to be
done all such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary to make any sales of any portion or all of the Pledged Shares and Pledged PECs pursuant to this Clause 8 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws
(including, without limitation, the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto and all applicable state securities or “Blue Sky”
laws), regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, 



  
 13 










	 	
decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at the Pledgor’s expense.
The Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Clause 8 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Parties, that the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a
consequence, agrees that each and every covenant contained in this Clause 8 shall be specifically enforceable against the Pledgor by the Pledgee and the Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific
performance of such covenants. 

  

	8.5	Marshalling. Neither the Pledgee nor any other Secured Party shall be required to marshal any present or future collateral security for (including but not
limited to this Agreement and the Pledged Shares), or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them, or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order. All of the rights of the Pledgee
and the Secured Parties hereunder in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, the Pledgor hereby
agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral that might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Pledgee’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument evidencing any of the Obligations or
under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and to the extent that it lawfully may, the Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.


  

	9.	APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS, TERMINATION AND RELEASE OF SECURITY 

  

	9.1.	Application of proceeds 


Any monies received by the Pledgee in respect of the Pledged Assets after this Pledge has been enforced shall be applied by the Pledgee to
pay all or any part of the then outstanding Obligations as set forth in the Facility Agreement. In the event the proceeds or any monies received by the Pledgee by virtue of the Pledge’s enforcement lead to any excess remitted to the Pledgee,
the Pledgee shall return to the Pledgor any such excess within thirty (30) Business Days. 
  

	9.2.	Termination and Pledge release 

 Upon expiry of the Security Period, this Agreement shall terminate and the Pledgee shall, at the Pledgor’s request and expense, execute all such documents and do all such things as may be reasonably
necessary to discharge the Pledgor from its liability under the Agreement within five (5) Business Days as from receipt of such request. In addition, the Parties and the Company hereby agree to instruct and appoint any manager of the Company,
each acting individually, as the case may be, to release this Pledge in the shareholders’ register and in the PECs register of the Company. Forthwith upon such release being granted, the Pledgee shall return to the Pledgor any Pledged Assets in
its possession and such Pledgor shall take delivery thereof. 
  

	10.	RIGHTS OF RECOURSE 

 The
Pledgor hereby waives and formally undertakes not to exercise the Rights of Recourse or any other similar rights in any manner (including for the avoidance of doubt, by way of provisional measures such as provisional attachment
(saisie-arrêt conservatoire), by way of set-off or in any other way), nor to take any action or do anything in relation to such Rights of Recourse or other similar rights, except as otherwise permitted in writing by the Pledgee.


  
 14

required, survive any termination or discharge of this Agreement. 
 The Pledgor acknowledges that this waiver is of the essence
for the Pledgee. 
  

	11.	LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY

reasonable expenses incurred by it, him, her or them in the execution of any rights, powers or discretions vested in it, him, her or them pursuant hereto (including the fees and expenses of legal advisers and VAT thereon) save for liabilities and
expenses arising from the gross negligence or wilful default of the Pledgee or its attorney or both. 

  

	12.	FEES AND EXPENSES 

 The
Pledgor shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Pledgee (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Pledgee), in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and
administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Pledgee (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the
Pledgee), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of any of the Obligations.

  

	13.	WAIVERS 

 No failure by
either Party to exercise, nor any delay by either Party in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. 
  

	14.	NOTICES 

 Any notice given under or in
connection with this Agreement must be given in English. All notices or other communications under this Agreement shall be sent in writing in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.02 of the Facility Agreement. Notices to the Company
