	 	 	 	109(1) of the PPSA, be deemed, in accordance with the entitlement to do so under
section 107(1) of the PPSA, to have contracted out of that section but
specifically on the basis that, as between them and for purposes of this deed and

obligations, the Chargor may (unless it has otherwise agreed in writing
after the Enforcement Event) redeem the Secured Property by tendering to the
Security Agent, in cleared funds, an amount certified by the Security Agent

tendered.

invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the enforceability of the provisions, or (as
the case may be) the remaining provisions, of this deed, nor shall the legality, validity or
enforceability of any of those provisions under the law of any other jurisdiction in any way
be affected or impaired thereby.
	 
	19.2	 	No implied waivers: No failure on the part of the Security Agent to exercise, and no delay
on its part in exercising, any right, power or remedy under this deed shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
remedy.
	 
	19.3	 	Remedies not exclusive: The rights, powers and remedies provided in this deed are in
addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights, powers or remedies provided by law.

all of the Secured Obligations.

	2.2	 	The Pledgor and the Collateral Agent request the Company and the Company, by signing

registration number 1 to 13,063,527, have been pledged in favour of THE BANK OF NEW YORK

directors or other officers of the Company for the purpose of perfecting the present Pledge,

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.

Pledgor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, exercise any
voting rights or otherwise in relation to the Shares.

of an Event of Default and provided that such Event of Default is continuing, to exercise the
voting rights attached to the Shares in accordance with the provisions of Article 9 of the
Financial Collateral Law in any manner the Collateral Agent deems fit. 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

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
the Pledged Portfolio (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Pledge and liens and
privileges arising mandatorily by law).

	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
all such further documents and take all such further action as the Collateral Agent may

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.

	5.1	 	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.

- 6 -

 

	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.

	5.3	 	the Collateral Agent shall not be obliged to exercise the powers conferred upon it by
the 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,

	 	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
chosen by the Collateral Agent), or in a public sale (organised at the discretion of
the Collateral Agent and which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not need to be made by
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
	 
	 	6.1.4	 	proceed to a set off between the Secured Obligations and the Pledged
Portfolio.

	6.2	 	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.

	7.	 	EFFECTIVENESS OF COLLATERAL

	7.1	 	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 Clause 7.2 of this Pledge Agreement.

	7.2	 	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

- 7 -

 

	 	 	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 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.

- 8 -

 

	7.8	 	Subject to the terms of the Principal Finance Documents, neither the Collateral
Agent, nor the Secured Parties 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 with
the Pledged Portfolio or (c) the realisation of all or any part of the Pledged Portfolio,
except 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), 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.

	10.	 	RIGHTS OF RECOURSE

	10.1	 	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.

	10.2	 	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.

	10.3	 	Without prejudice to Clause 10.1 above, this Clause shall remain in full force and

accordance with Clause 7.1 of this Pledge Agreement).

	11.	 	PARTIAL ENFORCEMENT

	 	 	Subject to Clause 6 (Remedies upon Default), the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to
request enforcement of all or part of the Pledged Portfolio 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 Portfolio, as it then shall be
(and in particular those Shares which have not been subject to enforcement). The Pledge shall
continue to remain in full and valid existence until enforcement, discharge or termination
hereof, as the case may be.

	12.	 	COSTS AND EXPENSES

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

	13.	 	CURRENCY CONVERSION

	 	 	Without prejudice to the terms of the Loan Documents, for the purpose of, or pending the
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.

	14.	 	NOTICES

(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 legal provisions, to the extent required under applicable law and without prejudice
to any 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 and the security interest created thereunder 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 register of shareholders of the

- 10 -

 

	 	 	Company, or to take any other steps, and undertakes to do so itself if so requested by the
Collateral Agent.

	16.	 	AMENDMENTS AND PARTIAL INVALIDITY

	16.1	 	Changes to this Pledge Agreement and any waiver of rights under this Pledge
Agreement shall require written form.

	16.2	 	If any provision of this Pledge Agreement is declared by any judicial or other
competent authority to be void or otherwise unenforceable, that provision shall be severed
from this Agreement and the remaining provisions of this Pledge Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect. The Pledge Agreement shall, however, thereafter be amended by the parties in
such reasonable manner so as to achieve, without illegality, the intention of the parties with
respect to that severed provision.

	17.	 	LAW AND JURISDICTION

	 	 	This Pledge Agreement shall be governed by Luxembourg law and the courts of Luxembourg-City
shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute which may arise from or in connection
with it.

This Pledge Agreement has been duly executed by the parties in three originals.
