accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Arrangements and the Second Ranking Finance
Documents.
	 
	6.2	 	The Pledge shall be cumulative, in addition to, and independent of every other
security which the Second Priority Security Agent and the Secured Parties may at any time hold
as security for the 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 Second Priority Security Agent and the
Secured Parties may now or at any time in the future have in respect of the Obligations.
	 
	6.3	 	This Pledge shall not be prejudiced by any time or indulgence granted to any person,
or any abstention or delay by the Second Priority Security Agent or the Secured Parties in
perfecting or enforcing any security interest or rights or remedies that the Second Priority
Security Agent or the Secured Parties may now or at any time in the future have from or
against the Pledgor or any other person.
	 
	6.4	 	No failure on the part of the Second Priority Security Agent or the Secured Parties
to exercise, or delay on its part in exercising, any of its rights under this Pledge Agreement

- 8 -

 

	 	 	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.

	6.5	 	Neither the obligations of the Pledgor contained in this Pledge Agreement nor the
rights, powers and remedies conferred upon the Second Priority Security Agent or the Secured
Parties by this Pledge Agreement or by law, nor the Pledge created hereby shall be discharged,

	 	6.5.1	 	any amendment to, or any variation, waiver or release of, any Obligation or
of the obligations of any Obligor under any other Second-Ranking Finance Documents and
the Intercreditor Agreement;
	 
	 	6.5.2	 	any failure to take, or fully to take, any security contemplated by the
Second-Ranking Finance Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement or otherwise agreed to
be taken in respect of the Obligations;
	 
	 	6.5.3	 	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
Obligations; or
	 
	 	6.5.4	 	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
Second Priority Security Agent or the Secured Parties by this Pledge Agreement, the
Pledge or by law.

	6.6	 	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.
	 
	6.7	 	Neither the Second Priority Security Agent, nor the Secured Parties or any of their
agents shall be liable to the Pledgor by reason of (a) taking any action permitted by this

negligence or wilful misconduct upon their part.

control of the Second Priority Security Agent or the Secured Parties or any third party
following or in connection with, the enforcement of any security granted in connection with
the Obligations.

discretion. No action, choice or absence of action in this respect, or partial enforcement,

or will be taken, respectively, as well as all documents required for the filing of an
objection against such actions. Subject to Clause 10 (Costs and Expenses) hereof, all

out as described in Clause 5 (Remedies upon Default) hereunder. The powers under this Clause
4.1 shall only be exercisable following the service of a notice under Clause 6.02 of the

within 10 Business Days of being notified of that failure and being requested to comply.

- 7 -

 

	4.2	 	The Pledgor shall ratify and confirm all things done and all documents executed by

Intercreditor Arrangements.
	 
	5.2	 	Following the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, and subject to
the Priority Pledge Agreements, any Future Priority Pledge Agreement and the Intercreditor
Arrangements, if the Obligations are due and payable and remain unpaid, the Third Priority
Security Agent shall be entitled to realise the Pledged Claims in the most favourable manner
provided for by Luxembourg law, including by way of a private sale at normal commercial terms
(conditions commerciales normales). In particular, but without being limited to, the Third
Priority Security Agent has the right to request direct payment of the Pledged Claims from the

Claims and the Obligations (each time in accordance with the terms of the Financial Collateral
Law).

	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

the express written release thereof granted by the Third Priority Security Agent or in
accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Arrangements and the Third Ranking Finance
Documents.
	 
	6.2	 	The Pledge shall be cumulative, in addition to, and independent of every other
security which the Third Priority Security Agent and the Secured Parties may at any time hold
as security for the 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 Third Priority Security Agent and the
Secured Parties may now or at any time in the future have in respect of the Obligations.
	 
	6.3	 	This Pledge shall not be prejudiced by any time or indulgence granted to any person,
or any abstention or delay by the Third Priority Security Agent or the Secured Parties in
perfecting or enforcing any security interest or rights or remedies that the Third Priority
Security Agent or the Secured Parties may now or at any time in the future have from or
against the Pledgor or any other person.

- 8 -

 

	6.4	 	No failure on the part of the Third Priority Security 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.
	 
	6.5	 	Neither the obligations of the Pledgor contained in this Pledge Agreement nor the
rights, powers and remedies conferred upon the Third Priority Security 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:

	 	6.5.1	 	any amendment to, or any variation, waiver or release of, any Obligation or
of the obligations of any Obligor under any other Third-Ranking Finance Documents and
the Intercreditor Agreement;
	 
	 	6.5.2	 	any failure to take, or fully to take, any security contemplated by the
Third-Ranking Finance Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement or otherwise agreed to
be taken in respect of the Obligations;
	 
	 	6.5.3	 	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
Obligations; or
	 
	 	6.5.4	 	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
Third Priority Security Agent or the Secured Parties by this Pledge Agreement, the
Pledge or by law.

	6.6	 	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.
	 
	6.7	 	Neither the Third Priority Security Agent, nor the Secured Parties or any of their
agents shall be liable to the Pledgor by reason of (a) taking any action permitted by this
Pledge Agreement or (b) any neglect or default in connection with the Pledged Claims or (c)
the realisation of all or any part of the Pledged Claims, except in the case of gross
negligence or wilful misconduct upon their part.

a result of wilful misconduct or gross negligence.
	 
	7.2	 	The Third Priority Security Agent and the Secured Parties shall be indemnified in
accordance with the provisions of Clause 7.07 (Compensation & Indemnity) of the Subordinated
