Any reference made in this Deed to any Finance Secured Document and/or any Notes Secured Document or to any agreement or

| | (a) | any:

which, if included in the definition of Secured Obligations, shall not constitute a violation of the Prohibition.



|1.5 | Limitation of the Pledgor under Swiss law
|--- | -----------------------------------------

The obligations and liabilities of the Pledgor under this Deed in relation to the obligations, undertakings, indemnities
or liabilities of an Obligor other than that Pledgor or any of its fully owned and controlled subsidiaries (the Restricted Obligations) shall be limited to the amount of the Pledgors Free Reserves

|     |  | 



Available for Distribution at the time payment is requested, provided that such limitation is a requirement under applicable law (including any case law) at that point in time and that such
limitation shall not free the Pledgor from its obligations in excess thereof, but merely postpone the performance date until such time as performance is permitted notwithstanding such limitation.

For the purpose of this clause, Free Reserves Available for Distribution means an amount equal to the
maximal amount in which the relevant Pledgor can make a dividend payment to its shareholder(s) (being the balance sheet profit and any freely disposable reserves available for this purpose, in each case in accordance with applicable Swiss law).

As soon as possible after having been requested to discharge a Restricted Obligation, the Pledgor shall, if it
cannot discharge the full amount of the Restricted Obligations, provide the Pledgee with an interim statutory balance sheet audited by the statutory auditors of the Pledgor setting out the Free Reserves Available for Distribution and, immediately
thereafter, pay the amount corresponding to the Free Reserves Available for Distribution to the Pledgee (save to the extend provided below).

In respect of the Restricted Obligations, the Pledgor shall:



| | (a) | if and to the extent required by applicable law in force at the relevant time:
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (i) | subject to any applicable double taxation treaties, deduct Swiss withholding tax at the rate of thirty-five percent (35%) (or such other rate
as is in force at that time) from any payment made by it;
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | pay any such deduction to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration; and
| | ---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) | notify and provide evidence to the Pledgee that the Swiss withholding tax has been paid to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration;
| | ----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | to the extent such deduction is made, not be required to make a gross-up, indemnify or otherwise hold harmless the Secured Parties for the deduction
of the Swiss withholding tax notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Debt Documents, unless grossing up is permitted under the laws of Switzerland then in force and provided that this should not in any way limit any obligations of
any non-Swiss Pledgors under the Debt Documents to indemnify the Secured Parties in respect of the deduction of the Swiss withholding tax, including, without limitation, in accordance with Clause 17 of the Financing Agreement (Tax Gross-Up,
Increased Costs and Indemnities). The Pledgor shall use all reasonable efforts to procure that any person which is entitled to a full or partial

refund of any Swiss withholding tax paid pursuant to paragraph (a) above will, as soon as possible after the deduction of the Swiss withholding tax, (y) request a refund of the Swiss
withholding tax under any applicable law (including double taxation treaties) and (z) pay to the Pledgee upon receipt any amount so refunded.

The Pledgor will take, and cause to be taken, all and any other action, including, without limitation, the passing of any
shareholders resolutions to approve any payment or other performance under the Debt Documents and the receipt of any confirmations from the Pledgors auditors, whether following a request to discharge a Restricted Obligation, or which may
be required as a matter of mandatory Swiss law in force at the time it is required to make a payment or perform other obligations under the Debt Documents in order to allow a prompt payment or performance of other obligations under the Debt
Documents.

If the enforcement of the Restricted Obligations would be limited due to the effects referred to in
this Clause 1.5 and if any asset of the Pledgor has a book value that is less than its market value (an Undervalued Asset), the Pledgor shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law and its Accounting Standards (i) write
up the book value of such Undervalued Asset such that its balance sheet reflects a book value that is equal to the market value of such Undervalued Asset, and (ii) make reasonable efforts to realise the Undervalued Asset for a sum which is at
least equal to the market value of such asset. Without prejudice to the rights of the Pledgee under the Debt Documents, the Pledgor will only be required to realise an Undervalued Asset if such asset is not necessary for the Pledgors business
(nicht betriebsnotwendig).



|1.6 | Pledgee Provisions
|--- | ------------------



| | 1.6.1 | Subject to the mandatory provisions of Dutch law the Pledgee shall not, whether by virtue of this Deed or by exercising any of its rights
thereunder, owe any duty of care to the Pledgor or the Company.
| | ----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 1.6.2 | The permissive rights of the Pledgee to take action under this Deed shall not be construed as an obligation or duty for it to do so.
| | ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 1.6.3 | In acting as Pledgee, the Pledgee shall be treated as acting through its agency division which shall be treated as a separate entity from its other
divisions and departments. Any information received or acquired by the Pledgee which is received or acquired by some other division or department or otherwise than in its capacity as Pledgee may be treated as confidential by the Pledgee and will not
be treated as information possessed by the Pledgee in its capacity as such.

| | 1.6.4 | In acting or otherwise exercising its rights or performing its duties under any provision of this Deed, the Pledgee shall act in accordance with the
provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and parties to this Deed acknowledge and agree that in so acting the Pledgee shall have the rights, benefits, protections, indemnities and immunities set out in the Intercreditor Agreement and shall not
incur any liability to the Pledgor or the Company, other than as expressly provided for in the Intercreditor Agreement.

Pursuant to the Parallel Debts the Pledgee has its own claim in respect of the payment obligations of the Debtors to the
Finance Secured Parties and the Notes Secured Parties. In connection with the creation of the rights of pledge pursuant hereto the Pledgor and the Pledgee acknowledge that, with respect to this claim, the Pledgee acts in its own name and not as

| | 3.1.2 | To the extent the pledge in advance referred to in paragraph 3.1.1 is not effective under Dutch law, the Pledgor will forthwith grant a
supplemental right of pledge by executing, before a Dutch civil law notary, a deed of pledge substantially in the form of this Deed or such other form as the Pledgee may reasonably require in order to perfect the pledge over the Future Shares and
the Related Rights pertaining thereto.
| | ----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 3.1.3 | If and to the extent that at the time of creation of this right of pledge, or at any time hereafter, a Principal Obligation owed to the Pledgee
cannot be validly secured through the Parallel Debts, such Principal Obligation itself shall be a Secured Obligation.
