|
| 3.3.2 | | in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the Intercreditor Arrangements (to the extent it is possible to give effect to such arrangements under Thai law). |

|
| 4.1.2 | | be entitled to attend all shareholders’ meetings of the Company and exercise all voting rights in relation to the Pledged Shares, provided that the Pledgor shall not exercise such voting rights in any manner which would result in, or otherwise permit or agree to, any: |

|
| (b) | | increase in the issued share capital of the Company; or |

|
| (d) | | reconstruction, amalgamation, sale or other disposal of the Company or any of the assets of the Company (including the exchange, conversion or reissue of any shares or securities as a consequence thereof), |
| | | which would adversely affect the validity or enforceability of the Security or which would cause an Enforcement Event to occur. Unless otherwise permitted under the Principal Finance Documents, an exercise of any right referred to in subparagraphs (a) — (d) without the Collateral Agent’s prior written consent will constitute a breach of this Agreement and the proceeds of any such action shall form part of the Secured Properties. |

| 4.2.2 | | the Pledgor must procure that all dividends payable thereafter in respect of its Shares are paid directly to the Collateral Agent and shall fully co-operate and instruct the Company to allow the Collateral Agent to exercise its right under the Voting Proxy. |
5. | | FURTHER ASSURANCE |
|
5.1 | | Covenant for Further Assurance |
|
| | Subject to the Agreed Security Principles, the Pledgor will promptly at its own cost do all such acts or execute all such documents (including assignments, transfers, pledges, notices and instructions) as, upon a reasonable instruction of the Applicable Representative, the Collateral Agent may specify (and in such form as the Collateral Agent, upon a reasonable instruction of the Applicable Representative, may require in favour of the Collateral Agent or its nominee(s)) for the purpose of creating and perfecting the Security or exercising the Collateral Rights or assuring the right to enforce the Security created or intended to be created in respect of the Secured Properties (which may include the execution by the Pledgor of a pledge or assignment over all or any of the assets constituting, or intended to constitute, the Secured Properties) or for the exercise of the rights, powers and remedies of the Collateral Agent provided by or pursuant to this Agreement or by law in each case in accordance with the rights vested in it under this Agreement or for rendering any assignment of a benefit pursuant to Clause 16 (Assignment) valid and enforceable by law. |
|
| | For the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged that the Collateral Agent is permitted to act on the instructions of the Applicable Representative in accordance with Clause 2.02(a)(i) of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. It is further acknowledged that the Collateral Agent may assume that any and all instructions received by it from the Applicable Representative under this Clause 5.1 are reasonable, and that any question as to the reasonableness or otherwise of such instructions shall be determined as between the Applicable Representative and the Pledgor. |
|
5.2 | | Without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, the Pledgor shall not, or agree to, do any of the following: |
| 5.2.1 | | create or allow to exist any encumbrances in connection with the Secured Properties or anything that may result in the Collateral Agent’s rights ranking in priority behind any claim against the Pledgor over the Secured Properties; |
|
| 5.2.2 | | sell or transfer or dispose of the Secured Properties; |
|
| 5.2.3 | | waive any of its rights or release any person from its obligations in connection with the Secured Properties; |
|
| 5.2.4 | | knowingly do or permit to be done anything, or fail to do anything, that would jeopardise or otherwise directly or indirectly prejudice the validity or |
| | | enforceability of the Security or that would cause an Enforcement Event to occur; and |
|
| 5.2.5 | | deal in any other way with the Secured Properties, or allow the Secured Properties or any interest in them to arise or be varied, unless otherwise permitted under the Principal Finance Documents. |
5.3 | | The Pledgor agrees to comply in all respects with any applicable laws and regulations and any requirements of authorities and the Pledgor’s other obligations in connection with the Secured Properties (if failure to do so would have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Credit Agreement or, if the Credit Agreement is no longer in existence, any Additional Agreement)). |
|
6. | | REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES |
|
6.1 | | The Pledgor represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent that, on the date of this Agreement: |
| 6.1.1 | | except as disclosed under the Credit Agreement or otherwise permitted by the Principal Finance Documents, the Pledged Shares then in existence have been validly issued and are fully paid; |
|
| 6.1.2 | | except to the extent set out in the Credit Agreement, to the best of its knowledge and belief, there are no litigation, arbitration or administrative proceedings of, or before, any court, arbitral body or agency started or threatened against it in respect of the Secured Properties which are reasonably likely to be adversely determined and if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Credit Agreement, or, if the Credit Agreement is no longer in existence, any Additional Agreement)); and |
|
| 6.1.3 | | it has good, valid and marketable title to the Secured Properties then in existence. |
6.2 | | Each of the representations set out in Clause 6.1 will be deemed to be repeated by the Pledgor as true and correct in all material respects on and as of each date a Pledge Supplement is executed with the same effect as though made on and as of such date. |
|

| 7.1.1 | | carrying out any obligation imposed on the Pledgor by this Agreement or any other agreement binding on the Pledgor to which the Collateral Agent is a |

|
| 7.1.2 | | enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise, or delegate the exercise of, all or any of the Collateral Rights; and |

| 8.1.1 | | deliver to the Pledgor an Enforcement Notice to the Pledgor; |
|
| 8.1.2 | | deliver to the Company an Enforcement Notice to the Company; and |
|
| 8.1.3 | | cause the pledge constituted under or pursuant to Clause 2 (Pledge) to become enforceable by sale of the Pledged Shares in accordance with this Agreement and the Principal Finance Documents and as allowed and subject to applicable law, |

|
8.3 | | The Collateral Agent may enforce the pledge granted under this Agreement before it enforces other rights or remedies available to it: |
| 8.3.1 | | against any other person; or |
|
| 8.3.2 | | under another document, such as another encumbrance. |
| | If the Collateral Agent has more than one encumbrance, it may enforce them in any order it chooses. |
|
8.4 | | Subject to applicable law, the Collateral Agent need not, except to take any action the Collateral Agent considers appropriate to secure its interest under this Agreement or to enforce the Security to the extent permitted or required by applicable law or under this Agreement: |
| 8.4.1 | | do anything to obtain payment of any dividends or other income in respect of any Secured Properties (other than to comply with the applicable exchange control regulations of Thailand then in force); or |
|
| 8.4.2 | | vote at any meeting of shareholders of the Company; or |
|
| 8.4.3 | | exercise rights in respect of any Secured Properties, |
| | even if it has reason to believe that the Secured Properties may depreciate in value. The Collateral Agent is not responsible for loss occasioned by such a failure to act or delay in so acting. |
|
8.5 | | The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to apply proceeds of an enforcement of the Security towards satisfaction of the Obligations without limitation in respect of: |
| 8.5.1 | | all and any amounts which are owed under the Loan Documents by the Pledgor itself, any of the Companies or by any of their subsidiaries; and |
|
| 8.5.2 | | 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, any of the Companies 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”). |
8.6 | | Besides an application of proceeds from an enforcement of the Security towards satisfaction of the Obligations in respect of the Unlimited Enforcement Amount pursuant to Clause 8.5 above, the Collateral Agent shall not be entitled to apply proceeds of an enforcement of the Security towards satisfaction of the Obligations but shall return to the Pledgor proceeds of an enforcement of the Security if and to the extent that: |
| 8.6.1 | | the Security secures the obligations of a Grantor 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 |
|
| 8.6.2 | | the application of proceeds of an enforcement of the Security towards the 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 thatthe 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 Agreement shall only be taken into account if such increase has been effected with the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent. |
8.7 | | 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: |
| 8.7.1 | | 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; |
|
| 8.7.2 | | 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 |
|
| 8.7.3 | | 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). |
|
| | It is 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 Security is enforced. |
|
8.8 | | The limitations set out in Clause 8.6 above shall only apply if and to the extent that: |
| 8.8.1 | | 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 Security (the “Notice”), the Pledgor has confirmed in writing to the Collateral Agent (x) to what extent such Security is up-stream or cross-stream security as described in Clause 8.6 above and (y) which amount of proceeds of an enforcement of the Security attributable to the enforcement of such up-stream or cross-stream security cannot be applied towards satisfaction of the 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 8.7 above) and such confirmation is supported by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (the “Management Determination”) and the Collateral Agent has not contested this and argued that no or a lesser amount would be necessary to maintain the Pledgor’s stated share capital; or |
|
| 8.8.2 | | 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 8.7 above,provided thatthe final sentence of Clause 8.7 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 8.7 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 Security towards satisfaction of the Obligations irrespective of the limitations set out in Clause 8.6 above. |
8.9 | | If the Collateral Agent, on the reasonable instruction of the Applicable Representative, disagrees with the Balance Sheet, the Collateral Agent shall be |
| | entitled to apply proceeds of an enforcement of the Security (in accordance with applicable law) in satisfaction of the Obligations up to an amount which, according to the Balance Sheet, can be applied in satisfaction of the Obligations in compliance with the limitations set out in Clause 8.6 above. In relation to any additional amounts for which the Pledgor is liable under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall be entitled to further pursue 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 give an Enforcement Notice to Pledgor). |
| | For the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged that the Collateral Agent is permitted to act on the instructions of the Applicable Representative in accordance with Clause 2.02(a)(i) of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. It is further acknowledged that the Collateral Agent may assume that any and all instructions received by it from the Applicable Representative under this Clause 8.9 are reasonable, and that any question as to the reasonableness or otherwise of such instructions shall be determined as between the Applicable Representative and the Pledgor. |
|
8.10 | | No reduction of the amount enforceable or applicable towards satisfaction of the Obligations under these Clauses 8.5 to 8.10 will prejudice the right of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties to continue enforcing the Security (subject always to the operation of the limitations set out above at the time of such enforcement) until full satisfaction to the claims secured. |

|
