	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. LIMITATION ON ENFORCEMENT

7.1 The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to apply proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledged Portfolio towards satisfaction of the Secured Obligations without limitation in respect of:

	(a)		all and any amounts which are owed under the Loan Documents by the Pledgor itself, the Company or by any of their subsidiaries; and
	(b)		all and any amounts which correspond to funds that have been borrowed or otherwise raised under the Loan Documents, in each case to the extent borrowed, on-lent or otherwise passed on to, or issued for the benefit of, the Pledgor, the Company or any of their subsidiaries, or for the benefit of any of their creditors and in each case not repaid and outstanding from time to time

(in aggregate, the “Unlimited Enforcement Amount”).

7.2 Besides an application of proceeds from an enforcement of the Pledged Portfolio towards satisfaction of the Secured Obligations in respect of the Unlimited Enforcement Amount pursuant to Clause 7.1 above, the Collateral Agent shall not be entitled to apply proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledged Portfolio towards satisfaction of the Secured Obligations but shall return to the Pledgor proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledged Portfolio if and to the extent that:

- 8 -

	(a)		the Pledged Portfolio secures the obligations of a Loan Party which is (x) a shareholder of the Pledgor or (y) an affiliated company (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of section 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) of a shareholder of the Pledgor (other than the Pledgor and its subsidiaries); and
	(b)		the application of proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledged Portfolio towards the Secured Obligations would have the effect of (x) reducing the Pledgor ‘s net assets (Reinvermögen) (the “Net Assets”) to an amount of less than its stated share capital (Stammkapital) or, if the Net Assets are already an amount of less than its stated share capital, of causing such amount to be further reduced and (y) would thereby affect the assets required for the obligatory preservation of the Pledgor ‘s stated share capital (Stammkapital) according to section 30, 31 German Limited Liability Companies Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung) provided that the amount of the stated share capital to be taken into consideration shall be the amount registered in the commercial register at the date hereof, and any increase of the stated share capital registered after the date of this Pledge Agreement shall only be taken into account if such increase has been effected with the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent (acting on the instructions of the Applicable Representative).

7.3 The Net Assets shall be calculated as an amount equal to the sum of the values of the Pledgor ‘s assets (consisting of all assets which correspond to the items set forth in section 266 sub-section(2) A, B and C of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) less the aggregate amount of the Pledgor ‘s liabilities (consisting of all liabilities and liability reserves which correspond to the items set forth in section 266 sub-section (3) B, C and D of the German Commercial Code), save that:

(a) any asset that is shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is significantly lower than the market value of such asset and that is not necessary for the Pledgor ‘s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig) shall be taken into account with its market value;

(b) obligations under loans provided to the Pledgor by any member of the group or any other affiliated company shall not be taken into account as liabilities as far as such loans are subordinated by law or by contract at least to the claims of the unsubordinated creditors of the Pledgor; and

(c) obligations under loans or other contractual liabilities incurred by the Pledgor in violation of the provisions of the Loan Documents shall not be taken into account as liabilities.

The Net Assets shall be determined in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles applicable from time to time in Germany (Grundsätze ordnungsmäßiger Buchführung) and be based on the same principles that were applied by the Pledgor in the preparation of its most recent annual balance sheet (Jahresbilanz).

- 9 -

It being understood that the assets of the Pledgor will be assessed at liquidation values (Liquidationswerte) if the managing directors of the Pledgor, at the time they prepare the Management Determination (as defined below) are, due to factual or legal circumstances at that time, in their opinion not able to make a positive prognosis as to whether the business of the Pledgor can carry on as a going concern (positive Fortführungsprognose), in particular when the Pledged Portfolio is enforced.

7.4 The limitations set out in Clause 7.2 above shall only apply if and to the extent that:

(a) without undue delay, but not later than within 5 Business Days, after receipt of a notification by the Collateral Agent of its intention to enforce any of the Pledged Portfolio (the “Notice”), the Pledgor has confirmed in writing to the Collateral Agent (x) to what extent such Pledged Portfolio is up-stream or cross-stream security as described in Clause 7.2 above and (y) which amount of proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledged Portfolio attributable to the enforcement of such up-stream or cross-stream security cannot be applied towards satisfaction of the Secured Obligations but would have to be returned to the Pledgor as it would otherwise cause the Net Assets of the Pledgor to fall below its stated share capital (taking into account the adjustments set out in Clause 7.3 above) and such confirmation is supported by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (acting on the instructions of the Applicable Representative) (the “Management Determination”) and the Collateral Agent (acting on the instructions of the Applicable Representative) has not contested this and argued that no or a lesser amount would be necessary to maintain the Pledgor ‘s stated share capital; or

(b) within 20 Business Days from the date the Collateral Agent has contested the Management Determination, the Collateral Agent receives from the Pledgor an up to date balance sheet prepared by a firm of auditors of international standard and reputation (the “Determining Auditors”) which shows the value of the Pledgor’s Net Assets (the “Balance Sheet”). The Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with the principles set out in Clause 7.3 above, provided that the final sentence of Clause 7.3 above shall not apply unless the Determining Auditors have in an independent assessment determined that the assets of the Pledgor should be evaluated at liquidation values (Liquidationswerte) in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles applicable from time to time in Germany (Grundsätze ordnungsmäßiger Buchführung) and shall contain further information (in reasonable detail) relating to items to be adjusted pursuant to Clause 7.3 above. If the Pledgor fails to deliver a Balance Sheet within the aforementioned time period, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to apply the proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledged Portfolio towards satisfaction of the Secured Obligations irrespective of the limitations set out in Clause 7.2 above.

7.5 If the Collateral Agent (acting on the instructions of the Applicable Representative) disagrees with the Balance Sheet it shall be entitled to apply proceeds of an enforcement of the Pledged Portfolio in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations up to an amount which, according to the Balance Sheet, can be applied in satisfaction of the Pledged Portfolio in compliance with the limitations set out in Clause 7.2 above. In relation to any additional

- 10 -

amounts for which the Pledgor is liable under this Pledge Agreement, the Collateral Agent and/or the Secured Parties shall be entitled to further pursue its/their claims (if any) and the Pledgor shall be entitled to prove that this amount is necessary for maintaining its stated share capital (calculated as of the date the Collateral Agent has given notice that it intends to enforce the security created under this Pledge Agreement).

7.6 No reduction of the amount to be applied towards satisfaction of the Secured Obligations under this Clause 7 will prejudice the right of the Collateral Agent and/or the Secured Parties to continue enforcing the Pledged Portfolio (subject always to the operation of the limitations set out above at the time of such enforcement) until full satisfaction to the claims secured.

8.     EFFECTIVENESS OF COLLATERAL

8.1 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 8.2 of this Pledge Agreement.

8.2 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 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.

8.3 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.

8.4 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.

8.5 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.

8.6 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

- 11 -

Pledge Agreement or by law, nor the Pledge created hereby shall be discharged, impaired or otherwise affected by:

	8.6.1		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;
	8.6.2		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;
	8.6.3		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
	8.6.4		any other act, event or omission which, but for this Clause 8.6, 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.

8.7 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.

8.8 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.

9.     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.

10.   DELEGATION

Subject to Section 4.05 of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement (to the extent permitted by Luxembourg law), 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

- 12 -

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.
