This definition also covers any refinancing of the financings mentioned in the preceding sentences (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any refinancings of such refinancings).”
		

			
	
			
				 4.
			

			
	
			
			The definition of „Cross-Default” is amended and restated as follows: 

		
			“Cross-Default: (i) an event of default (however described) has occurred under any of the GECC Credit Facility or the Indenture provided that such event of default has not been remedied or waived in accordance with the relevant document,  or (ii) any of the GECC Credit Facility or the Indenture (or the notes issued under the Indenture)  terminates or is terminated for whatever reason prior to its express maturity unless fully refinanced on materially similar terms at the time of termination or (iii) any of the GECC Credit Facility or the Indenture (or the notes issued under the Indenture)  is not fully refinanced on materially similar terms at least six (6) months prior to its respective express maturity,  provided however that the events as described under (i) to (iii) above are deemed to be no cross default in case Real Alloy Holding, Inc. (an intermediate parent of the Originator) becomes a debtor in possession under Chapter 11 US Bankruptcy Code and enters in connection therewith into a debtor in possession-credit agreement as approved by the competent bankruptcy court”.   
		

			
	
			
				 B.
			

			
	
			
			Governing Law, Jurisdiction

		
			This agreement is governed by German law. The courts of Mainz, Germany will have jurisdiction.
		

			
	
			
				 C.
			

			
	
			
			Severability

		
			Should any provisions of this agreement be or become wholly or partly invalid, the validity and effectiveness of the remaining provisions will not be affected thereby. The invalid provision shall be replaced by such valid and effective provision which comes closest to the economic terms that the parties intended. The same principles will apply if this addendum contains a gap.
