The relevant company shall undertake all such commercially reasonable steps to ensure the continuity and effectiveness of the security and/or the obligations under the security documents prior to or on the date of any change of jurisdiction. If no such steps can be taken, it (or the surviving entity in a merger) will enter into replacement security prior to any change of jurisdiction on terms which are (x) consistent with that of the existing security and (y) satisfactory to the Security Agent (acting reasonably), and the Security Agent will be authorised to release the existing security following such replacement. Clause 20.11 will be amended to include a carve-out to paragraphs (b) and (c) where any existing security agreement governed by Belgian law is released and therefore ceases to be effective and Clause 19.10 will be amended to include a carve out to paragraph (b)(iii)(B) where any existing security agreement governed by Belgian law is released, in each case, in accordance with this paragraph.
