2 PARALLEL DEBT
2.1 The Pledgor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to BNP an amount equal to the aggregate amount payable by the Pledgor in respect of its Principal Obligations as they may exist from time to time. The payment undertaking of the Pledgor to BNP under this Article 2 is hereinafter to be referred to as the “Parallel Debt”.
2.2 The Parallel Debt of the Pledgor will become due and payable (opeisbaar) as and when one or more of the Principal Obligations of the Pledgor become due and payable.
2.3 Each of the Parties hereby acknowledges that:
i. the Parallel Debt constitutes an undertaking, obligation and liability of the Pledgor to BNP which is separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the Principal Obligations; and
ii. the Parallel Debt represents BNP’s own separate and independent claim (eigen en zelfstandige vordering) to receive payment of the Parallel Debt from the Pledgor it being understood, in each case, that pursuant to subsection a. of this Article the amount which may become payable by the Pledgor as its Parallel Debt shall never exceed the total of the amounts which are payable under the Principal Obligations of the Pledgor.
2.4 For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties confirm that in accordance with subsections 2.1 and 2.3 of this Article the claim of BNP against the Pledgor in respect of the Parallel Debt and the claims of anyone or more of the Finance Parties against the Pledgor in respect of the Principal Obligations payable by the Pledgor to such Finance Party do not constitute common property (gemeenschap) within the meaning of article 3:166 of the NCC and that the provisions relating to common property shall not apply. If, however, it shall be held that such claim of the BNP and such claims of anyone or more of the Finance Parties do constitute common property and the provisions relating to common property do apply, the Parties agree that the Intercreditor Deed shall constitute the administration agreement (“beheersregeling”) within the meaning of article 3:168 NCC.
2.5 To the extent BNP irrevocably (onaantastbaar) receives any amount in payment of the Parallel Debt of the Pledgor, BNP shall distribute that
7
amount among the Finance Parties that are creditors of the Principal Obligations of the Pledgor in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Intercreditor Deed. Upon irrevocable receipt by BNP of any amount so distributed to it (a “Received Amount”), the Principal Obligations of the Pledgor to the relevant Finance Party or Finance Parties shall be reduced by amounts totalling an amount (a “Deductible Amount”) equal to the Received Amount in the manner as if the Deductible Amount were received as a payment of the Principal Obligations on the date of receipt by that Finance Party of the Received Amount.
3. CREATION AND REGISTRATION OF PLEDGE ON MOVABLES
3.1 Creation of pledge over Movables
As security for the payment when due of its respective Secured Liabilities, the Pledgor agrees to create and hereby creates, as the case may be in advance (bij voorbaat) with respect to Movables which will be acquired and/or be located in the Netherlands after the date hereof, in favour of the Pledgees a first-ranking non-possessory right of pledge (bezitloos pandrecht eerste in rang) on the Movables and all rights attached thereto, including dependent rights (afhankelijke rechten) and ancillary rights (nevenrechten). The Pledgees accept this right of pledge, where appropriate in advance.
3.2 Ranking
If the right of pledge purported to be created pursuant to Article 3.1 cannot be first ranking as a result of Security created prior to the date of this Deed on any of the Movables, such right of pledge shall nonetheless have been created pursuant to Article 3.1 with the highest possible rank.
3.3 Registration of this Deed
Immediately following the signing of this Deed and in any event no later than 10 Business Days after the date of this Deed, the Pledgor agrees to register this Deed with the relevant tax authorities in the Netherlands and to provide a copy of the registered Deed to the Pledgees without delay.
4. INFORMATION UNDERTAKING
4.1 Additional information
At the Pledgees’ first reasonable request, the Pledgor must provide all information (including a detailed specification of the Movables and the exact location of the Movables), evidence (including invoices) and
8
documents relating to the Movables which the Pledgees may deem necessary to exercise their rights under this Deed (including the enforcement of their rights of pledge) and the perfection or protection of their security on the Movables of the Pledgor. The Pledgees and their appointees for this purpose shall at all times during regular business hours be granted free access to the locations where the Movables are situated, in order to verify their presence and condition and to inspect its books. The refusal by a third party to grant such access shall be deemed a refusal by the Pledgor.
4.2 Attachments and Disputes of Movables
The Pledgor agrees to notify the Pledgees without delay of any attachment (beslag) levied on any of its Movables or any dispute, if the attachment or dispute would have a material adverse effect on the right of pledge created under this Deed or the value of any of its Movables.
4.3 Duty to notify
The Pledgor shall notify the Pledgees immediately of all circumstances of which it becomes aware which could affect the interests of the Pledgees, including but not limited to an application being filed for the Pledgor’s bankruptcy (faillissement) or (provisional) suspension of payments ((voorlopige) surseance van betaling), the Pledgor being adjudicated bankrupt, the Pledgor being granted (provisional) suspension of payments, the Pledgor being unable to fully pay its debts in respect of taxes or social security premiums or planning to notify the relevant authorities thereof, an attachment being levied on some or all of the Movables, or an event analogous to any of the above occurring under the laws of any other jurisdiction.
5. FURTHER ASSURANCES AND NOTICE TO THIRD PARTIES
5.1 Further assurances
At the Pledgees’ first request, the Pledgor agrees to execute any further encumbrances and assurances in favour of, or for the benefit of the Pledgees, and do all acts and things as the Pledgees may reasonably deem necessary to exercise their rights under this Deed (including the enforcement of its rights of pledge) and the perfection or protection of its security on the Movables of the Pledgor.
5.2 Notice to third parties
The Pledgees may give notice of the rights of pledge created by the Deed
9

13
Pledgees be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfil any of the obligations of the Pledgor under or with respect to any part of the Movables.
15. COSTS AND INDEMNIFICATION
15.1 Costs
The Pledgor shall pay all costs, of whatever nature (including legal fees), incurred by a Pledgee in connection with the preparation, negotiation and signing of this Deed or otherwise in connection with this Deed, including costs in connection with Article 5 (Further assurances and notice to third parties) of this Deed, or the enforcement of their rights there under and/or any amendment of, supplement to or waiver in respect thereof.
15.2 Indemnification
The Pledgor undertakes to indemnify each Pledgee in respect of all incurred costs, losses, actions, claims, expenses, demands and liabilities which may be incurred by such Pledgee (or by or against any person for whose act or omission it may be answerable) at any time relating to or arising out of this Deed or as a consequence of anything done or omitted in the exercise or purported exercise of the powers contained in this Deed or occasioned by any breach by the Pledgor of any of its undertakings or other obligations under this Deed, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Pledgee.
16. POWER OF ATTORNEY
16.1 For the benefit of Pledgees, the Pledgor hereby authorises the Pledgees, whether or not represented by its authorised signatories, to pledge any of the Pledgor’s Movables to themselves on behalf of the Pledgor at any time and from time to time and to do everything necessary in this regard, including but not limited to registration of this Deed. The Pledgees shall be free in their choice of the method by which the pledge is created, including but not limited to the execution of a notarial deed. This authorisation is unconditional and irrevocable, and does not in any way limit or qualify the enforceability of the Pledgor’s obligation to pledge its Movables itself.
16.2 For the benefit of the Pledgees, the Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Pledgees to be its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution and delegation) for and on behalf of the Pledgor to sign,
14
execute, seal, deliver, acknowledge, file, register and perfect any and all such assurances, documents, instruments, agreements, certificates and consents and to do any and all such acts and things as the Pledgor itself could do in relation to its Movables in relation to any matters dealt with in this Deed and which the Pledgees may reasonably deem to be necessary in order to give full effect to the purposes of this Deed. Upon request of the Pledgees the Pledgor will ratify and confirm whatever the Pledgees shall do or cause to be done in pursuance of the powers conferred to them hereunder.
16.3 In connection with the power of attorney contained in this Article, Parties agree that each of the Pledgees may act as counter party of the Pledgor and the Pledgor waives its rights pursuant to article 3:68 NCC (Selbsteintritt), which waiver the Pledgees hereby accepts.
17. GENERAL
17.1 No Rescission
To the extent permitted by law, the Pledgor hereby waives its rights under article 6:228 and articles 6:265 to 6:272 NCC inclusive to rescind (ontbinden), or demand in legal proceedings the rescission (ontbinding) of, this Deed, which waiver is hereby accepted by the Pledgees.
17.2 Transfer of legal relationship
Subject to the terms of the Bridge Facilities Agreement, each of the Pledgees may transfer its rights and obligations under this Deed by means of assignment (cessie) and transfer of debt (schuldoverneming) or transfer of legal relationship (contractsoverneming). The Pledgor irrevocably agrees in advance to cooperate with such assignment, transfer of debt or transfer of contract.
17.3 Notice
Any notice or other communication under or in connection with this Deed must be made in accordance with the Loan Agreement and the Bridge Facilities Agreement.
17.4 Partial Invalidity
In the event that a provision of this Deed is invalid, illegal, non binding, or unenforceable (either in whole or in part) under the law of any jurisdiction, the remainder of this Deed continues to be effective to the extent that, in view of the Deed’s substance and purpose, the remainder is
15
not inextricably related to and therefore inseverable from the invalid, illegal, non binding or unenforceable provision. The Parties will make every effort to reach agreement on a new clause which differs as little as possible from the invalid, illegal, non binding or unenforceable provision, taking into account the substance and purpose of this Deed.
17.5 Amendment
This Deed may only be amended by a written agreement.
17.6 No Implied Waiver, no “Rechtsverwerking”
a. Any waiver under this Deed must be given by notice to that effect.
b. Where a Party does not exercise any right under this Deed (which includes the granting by a Party to any of the other Parties of an extension of time in which to perform its obligations under any of these provisions), this is not deemed to constitute a forfeiture of that Party’s right under this Deed (rechtsverwerking).
17.7 Benefit of security
The Pledgor and each of the Pledgees explicitly agree and declare that upon transfer, assignment or pledge of the respective Secured Liabilities, or a part thereof, the transferee or pledgee will become entitled to the right of pledge purported to be created hereunder, or to a corresponding part thereof, as the case may be.
If and to the extent as a result of such transfer, such assignment or a pledge the right of pledge purported to be created hereunder will constitute common property, and an intercreditor agreement is agreed upon in relation to such transfer, such assignment or a pledge, then the Pledgor will be bound to the provisions of such intercreditor agreement.
17.8 Intercreditor agreement
As between the Pledgees only and subject to the Intercreditor Deed BNS will not exercise any right under this Deed unless with the written consent of BNP and BNP shall be entitled to instruct BNS to exercise its rights hereunder and to do all such things as BNP may deem necessary in connection with this deed.
For this purpose BNS hereby irrevocably appoints BNP to be its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution and delegation) for and on behalf of BNS to sign, execute, seal, deliver, acknowledge, file, register
16
and perfect any and all such assurances, documents, instruments, agreements, certificates and consents and to do any and all such acts and things in relation to any matters dealt with in this Deed and which BNP may reasonably deem to be necessary. Upon request of BNP BNS will ratify and confirm whatever BNP shall do or cause to be done in pursuance of the powers conferred to it hereunder.
18. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
18.1 Governing Law
This Deed is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Netherlands.
18.2 Jurisdiction
Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Deed is to be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent court in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. This Article 18.2 (Jurisdiction) is for the benefit of the Pledgees only. As a result, the Pledgees shall not be prevented from taking proceedings relating to a dispute in any other courts with jurisdiction.
