shall be determined in accordance with the Debt Restructuring Agreement.

Debt, unless the parties agree otherwise (provided this is permissible

2.4 Nothing in Clause 2.3 shall restrict the Borrower from paying dividends in

3. REPAYMENT AND CONVERSION
3.1 The Borrower shall not repay the Loan, except as expressly provided in
Clause 4 (Events of Default), or with the prior written consent of the
Confirmed Creditors.
3.2 To the extent that may be required to avoid the Borrower being obligated
to enter into liquidation (Sw: LIKVIDATION), the board of the Borrower may
decide that the Loan (or part thereof, as the case may be) shall be
utilised in meeting losses of the Borrower by writing down the principal
amount of the Loan by the amount required to avoid liquidation and
converting such amount into a conditional capital contribution (Sw:
VILLKORAT AKTIEAGARTILLSKOTT). The rights of the Lender in respect of the
converted amount will thereupon be converted into rights of a provider of
capital contributions. Upon utilisation of any part of the Loan pursuant
to this Clause 3.2, the Borrower shall give notice to the Lender.
3.3 The Loan shall be repaid only upon presentation of the relevant Loan
Note(s). If the Loan is partially repaid, a new Loan Note for the
remaining amount shall be executed.

4.2 to 4.9 below is an Event of Default (whether or not caused by any
reason whatsoever outside the control of the Borrower or any other
person).
4.2 NON-PAYMENT: The Borrower does not pay on the due date, any amount due and
payable by it hereunder in the currency and in the manner specified,
provided that it shall not constitute an Event of Default if such failure
is due solely to technical errors and the Borrower remedies the same
within three (3) Business Days of the due date for payment.
6(6)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.3 CROSS-DEFAULT:
(a) Any Financial Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Subsidiary is not
paid when due or within the applicable grace period (if any).
(b) Any Financial Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Subsidiary is
declared prematurely due and payable or is placed on demand, in
either case as a result of an event of default (howsoever described)
under the document relating to that Financial Indebtedness.
(c) Any commitment for, or underwriting of, any Financial Indebtedness
of the Borrower or any Subsidiary is cancelled or suspended as a
result of an event of default (howsoever described) under the
document relating to that Financial Indebtedness.
(d) The circumstances in this Clause 4.3 will only constitute an Event
of Default if the amount of Financial Indebtedness referred to
exceeds SEK 150,000,000 in aggregate.
4.4 INSOLVENCY:
(a) The Borrower is, or is deemed for the purposes of any law to be,
insolvent or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as
they fall due.
(b) The Borrower suspends making payments on all or any class of its
debts or announces an intention to do so, or a moratorium is
declared in respect of any of its indebtedness.

creditors with a view to the general readjustment or rescheduling of
its indebtedness, or makes a composition or an arrangement with its
creditors or any similar proceeding, arrangement or assignment.

resolution passed for the suspension of payments, business
reorganisation (Sw: FORETAGSREKONSTRUKTION), liquidation or

(Sw: FORETAGSREKONSTRUKTOR) or similar officer is appointed in
respect of the Borrower or in respect of all or substantially all of

4.6 CREDITORS' PROCESS: Any distress or execution is levied against, or an
encumbrancer takes possession of, an asset or certain of the assets of the
Borrower the value of which asset or assets exceeds SEK 50,000,000, unless
such distress, execution or taking possession is stayed, discharged,
struck out or given up within thirty (30) days of being levied or taking
place or is thereafter being contested in good faith and by appropriate
means.
4.7 CESSATION OF BUSINESS: The Borrower ceases or threatens to cease to carry
on all or a substantial part of its business.
4.8 REPUDIATION: The Borrower repudiates this Agreement.

perform or comply with any material or all of its obligations under this
Agreement or any of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement
are not or cease to be legal, valid and binding, in either case in any
material respect.
4.10 In case of an Event of Default, provided such Event of Default has not
been cured or waived, the Lender shall provide all Confirmed Creditors
with a written notice specifying the Event of Default. Following such
notice the Lender shall consult with the Confirmed Creditors with a view
to curing such Event of Default.
4.11 On and at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, provided
such Event of Default has not been cured or waived, the Lender may, by
notice to the Borrower declare the Loan due and payable, whereupon it
shall become due and payable on the date specified by the Lender,
provided, however, that the date so specified shall not fall before the
expiry of the Subordination Period.

5.2 If the Borrower fails to pay an amount payable by it under this Agreement
on the due date, it shall forthwith on demand by the Lender pay interest
on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment
at a rate determined by adding a margin of two (2) percentage units to

thirty (30) day period during which the overdue amount remains
outstanding.
8(8)

references to the euro, provided that the Lender, acting reasonably and in
good faith and after having consulted with the Borrower, shall determine
at what time such replacement shall be made for the purpose of this
Agreement in the event that such replacement includes a transition period.
In case of any such change of currency, this Agreement shall be amended to
the extent the Lender specifies to be necessary to reflect the change in
currency and to put the Lender and the Borrowers in the same position, so
far as possible, that they would have been in if no change of currency had
occurred.
7. WITHHOLDINGS
7.1 All payments to be made by the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and
clear of any deduction or withholding.

account of Tax or otherwise from any payment to the Lender hereunder, the

withholdings to be made with reference to income tax on its overall income
ultimately due by the Lender by operation of applicable laws.

8.1 If the Lender receives an amount in respect of the Borrower's liability
under this Agreement or if that liability is converted into a claim,
proof, judgement or order in a currency other than the currency in which
such obligation is due (the "CONTRACTUAL CURRENCY"):
(a) the Borrower shall on demand indemnify the Lender as an independent
obligation against any loss or liability arising out of or as a
result of the conversion;
(b) if the amount received by the Lender, when converted into the
Contractual Currency at a market rate in the usual course of its
business, is less than the amount owed in the Contractual Currency,
the Borrower shall on demand pay to the Lender an amount in the
Contractual Currency equal to the deficit; and
(c) the Borrower shall on demand pay to the Lender any exchange costs
and Taxes payable in connection with any such conversion.
8.2 The Borrower shall on demand indemnify the Lender against any cost,
expense, loss or liability, as determined by the Lender, which it incurs
as a consequence of the occurrence of any Event of Default (taking into
account, where appropriate, any amounts received by the Lender under
Clause 5.2).

Creditors (or any of them) shall be conditional upon no security,

ordered to be refunded pursuant to any law relating to bankruptcy,

application towards the Senior Debt.
