NOTE GUARANTY

SECTION 2.01 Guaranty. Except as otherwise provided for herein (including under Section 3.14), each Note Guarantor hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, and absolutely and unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Collateral Agent (for the set-off of the Secured Parties), the full and prompt payment, when and as the same become due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Obligations, including amounts that would become due but for the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §362(a), together with any and all expenses which may be incurred by the Collateral Agent and other Secured Parties in collecting any of the Obligations that are reimbursable in accordance with Section 5(a) of the Note Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Note Guarantor further agrees that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations may be increased,

2

extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. In addition, if any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations become due and payable hereunder, each Note Guarantor, unconditionally and irrevocably, promises to pay such Guaranteed Obligations to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, on demand. Each Note Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations whether or not due or payable by the Issuer upon the occurrence of any of Bankruptcy Event of Default of the Note and thereafter irrevocably and unconditionally promises to pay such Guaranteed Obligations to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. This Note Guaranty is a continuing one and shall remain in full force and effect until the Reference Date (or, with respect to any Note Guarantor, until the release of such Note Guarantor from its obligations hereunder in accordance with Section 3.14 hereof), and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon.

SECTION 2.02 Guaranty of Payment. This Note Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Note Guarantor waives any right to require the Collateral Agent to sue the Issuer, any Note Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any other Person obligated for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (the Issuer, each Note Guarantor, each other guarantor or such other Person, an “Obligated Party”), or otherwise to enforce its rights in respect of any Collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Collateral Agent may enforce this Note Guaranty in accordance with the express provisions of the Note.

SECTION 2.03 No Discharge or Diminishment of Note Guaranty.

(a) Except as otherwise provided for herein (including under Section 3.14), the obligations of each Note Guarantor hereunder are unconditional, irrevocable and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Obligated Party; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any other Obligated Party, or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other right which any Note Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, the Collateral Agent, the Noteholder or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transaction; (v) any direction as to application of payments by the Issuer or by any other party; (vi) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking; (viii) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Issuer or (ix) any payment made to any Secured Party on the Guaranteed Obligations which the such Secured Party repays to the Issuer pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each Note Guarantor waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding.

(b) Except for termination of such Note Guarantor’s obligations hereunder or as expressly permitted by Section 3.14, the obligations of each Note Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any Applicable Law purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.

(c) Further, the obligations of any Note Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the Collateral Agent to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations (subject to (x) any applicable limitation under Applicable Law set forth in Section 2.12 and/or Section 2.13, which agreement

3

relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall, if required by such Applicable Law, remain unchanged unless the relevant affected Note Guarantor otherwise provides its express consent in writing and (y) to the extent required by Applicable Law, the procurement of appropriate consents by the applicable governing body of such Note Guarantor and the taking of any other necessary corporate or similar organizational action); (iii) any release, non-perfection, or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by the Collateral Agent with respect to any Collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Note Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Note Guarantor as a matter of law or equity, in each case other than as set forth in Section 3.14.

SECTION 2.04 Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, and except for termination of a Note Guarantor’s obligations hereunder or as otherwise provided for herein (including under Section 3.14), each Note Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Issuer or any other Note Guarantor or arising out of the disability of the Issuer or any other Note Guarantor or any other party or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Issuer or any other Note Guarantor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Note Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any notice not provided for herein or in any other Finance Document, including any notice of nonperformance, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of acceptance of this Note Guaranty, and any notice of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Obligated Party, or any other Person, including any right (except as may be required by Applicable Law and to the extent the relevant requirement cannot be waived) to require the Collateral Agent to (i) proceed against the Issuer, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any Lien from the Issuer, any other relevant Note Guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Collateral Agent’s power whatsoever. The Collateral Agent may, at its election and in accordance with the terms of the applicable Finance Documents, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law), accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any Collateral securing all or a part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and the Collateral Agent may, at its election, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Note Guarantor under this Note Guaranty, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.14. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Note Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election may operate, pursuant to Applicable Law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Note Guarantor against any Obligated Party or any security.

SECTION 2.05 Authorization. Each Note Guarantor authorizes the Collateral Agent without notice or demand (except as may be required by Applicable Law and to the extent the relevant requirement cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder (except as set forth in Section 3.14), from time to time, subject to each applicable Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of the referenced Finance Documents, to:

4

(a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Guaranteed Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest or fees thereon), any Lien therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and this Note Guaranty shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered (but in any event subject to (x) any applicable limitation under Applicable Law set forth in Section 2.12 and/or Section 2.13, which agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall, if required by such Applicable Law, remain unchanged unless the relevant affected Note Guarantor otherwise provides its express consent in writing and (y) to the extent required by Applicable Law, the procurement of appropriate consents by the applicable governing body of such Note Guarantor and the taking of any other necessary corporate or similar organizational action;

(b) take and hold any Lien for the payment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, impair, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset there against;

(c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Issuer, any other Note Party or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(d) release or substitute any endorser, any guarantor, the Issuer, any other Note Party and/or any other obligor;

(e) settle or compromise any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any Lien therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of the Issuer to its creditors other than the Secured Parties;

(f) apply any sum by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of the Issuer to the Secured Parties regardless of what liability or liabilities of the Issuer remain unpaid;

(g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Note Guaranty, the Note, any other Finance Document, or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein or therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Note Guaranty, the Note, any other Finance Document, or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or

(h) take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of the Note Guarantors from their respective liabilities under this Note Guaranty.

SECTION 2.06 Rights of Subrogation. No Note Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including any claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Note Party in respect of this Note Guaranty until the occurrence of the Reference Date (or the release of such Note Guarantor from its obligations hereunder in accordance with Section 3.14 hereof); provided that if any amount is paid to such Note Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the Reference Date (or such date on which such Note Guarantor is released from its obligations hereunder in accordance with Section 3.14 hereof), then unless such Note Guarantor has already discharged its liabilities under this Note Guaranty in an amount equal to such Note Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date, such amount shall be held by the recipient Note Guarantor in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall forthwith be paid by the recipient Note Guarantor to the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with Section9(e) of the Note Purchase Agreement.

5

SECTION 2.07 Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise, each Note Guarantor’s obligations under this Note Guaranty with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the other Note Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 2.08 Information. Each Note Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Issuer’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Note Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Note Guaranty, and agrees that neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any duty to advise any Note Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.

SECTION 2.09 Contribution; Subordination; Maximum Liability.

(a) In the event that any Note Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) makes any payment or payments under this Note Guaranty or suffers any loss as a result of any realization upon any Collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Note Guaranty (each such payment or loss, an “Accommodation Payment”), each other Note Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Guarantor Percentage” of such Accommodation Payment by such Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this Article 2, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Guarantor Percentage” with respect to any Accommodation Payment by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such Accommodation Payment was made by reference to the ratio of (a) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability (as defined below) as of such date to (b) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Note Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date.

(b) As of any date of determination the “Maximum Liability” of each Note Guarantor:

(i) that is a U.S. Note Party shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability which could be asserted against such Note Guarantor hereunder and under the Note without (i) rendering such Note Guarantor “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101(32) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (“UFTA”) or Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (“UFCA”), (ii) leaving such Note Guarantor with unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA or Section 5 of the UFCA, or (iii) leaving such Note Guarantor unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA or Section 5 of the UFCA;

(ii) that is a Swiss Note Guarantor (as defined in Section 2.12(a) below) shall be determined as provided for in section 2.12(a) below; and

(iii) that is a German Note Guarantor (as defined in Section 2.12(b) below) shall be determined as provided for in section 2.12(b) below.

(c) Nothing in this provision shall affect any Note Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Note Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Note Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Note Guaranty from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the Obligations until the

6

Reference Date (or until the date on which such Note Guarantor is released from its obligations hereunder in accordance with Section 3.14 hereof). If, prior to the Reference Date, any such contribution payment is received by a Paying Guarantor at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such contribution payment shall be collected, enforced and received by such Note Guarantor as trustee for the Collateral Agent and be paid over to the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) on account of the Obligations, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of such Note Guarantor under the other provisions of this Note Guaranty. This provision is for the benefit of the Collateral Agent.

(d) It is the desire and intent of the Note Guarantors and the Collateral Agent that this Note Guaranty shall be permitted to be enforced against the Note Guarantors to the fullest extent permissible under the Applicable Law and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. The provisions of this Note Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, Federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other Applicable Law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Note Guarantor under this Note Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Note Guarantor’s liability under this Note Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Note Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Note Guarantors or the Collateral Agent, be automatically limited and reduced to such Note Guarantor’s Maximum Liability. Each Note Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of such Note Guarantor without impairing this Note Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder; provided that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Note Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.

SECTION 2.10 Representations and Warranties. As, when and to the extent required in accordance with the terms of the Note, each Note Guarantor hereby makes each applicable representation and warranty made in the Finance Documents and Note Purchase Agreement by the Issuer with respect to such Note Guarantor and each Note Guarantor hereby further acknowledges and agrees that such Note Guarantor has, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Note Guaranty and each other Finance Document to which it is or is to be a party, and such Note Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from each other Note Guarantor on a continuing basis information pertaining to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties and prospects of each other Note Guarantor.

SECTION 2.11 Covenants. Each Note Guarantor covenants and agrees that, until the Reference Date, such Note Guarantor will perform and observe all of the applicable terms, covenants and agreements set forth in the Transaction Documents that the Issuer has agreed to cause such Note Guarantor to perform or observe. Until the Reference Date, no Note Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent or the Required Noteholders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding against the Issuer or any Note Guarantor (it being understood and agreed, for the avoidance of doubt, that nothing in this Section 2.11 shall prohibit any Note Guarantor from commencing or joining with the Issuer or Note Guarantor as a co-debtor in any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding).

SECTION 2.12 Local Law Guaranty Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note Guaranty or in any other Finance Document, it is acknowledged and agreed that the liability of each Note Guarantor that is not a U.S. Note Party shall be limited as follows:

(a) Swiss Note Guarantor Guaranty Limitations.

7

(i) If and to the extent that a Note Guarantor organized under the laws of Switzerland (a “Swiss Note Guarantor”) becomes liable under this Note Guaranty or any other Finance Document for obligations of its Affiliates (as defined in the Note) which are not its wholly-owned direct or indirect Subsidiaries and if this would constitute a repayment of capital (Einlagerückgewähr), a violation of the legally protected reserves (gesetzlich geschützte Reserven) or the payment of a (constructive) dividend (Gewinnausschüttung) by such Swiss Note Guarantor or if the incurrence or payment of such liability would otherwise be restricted under then applicable Swiss law (the “Restricted Obligations”), the aggregate liability of such Swiss Note Guarantor for Restricted Obligations shall be limited to the amount of freely disposable equity (frei verwendbares Eigenkapital) (including, without limitation, any statutory reserves which can be transferred into unrestricted distributable reserves) of such Swiss Note Guarantor at the time of enforcement, as determined in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss accounting principles (the “Swiss Maximum Amount”), provided that this is a requirement under then applicable mandatory Swiss law and it is understood that such limitation shall not free such Swiss Note Guarantor from its obligations in excess of the Swiss Maximum Amount, but that it shall merely postpone the performance date of those obligations until such time or times as performance is again permitted.

(ii) Promptly after having been requested to perform the Restricted Obligations under this Note Guaranty or any other Finance Document (but in any event within not more than 60 Business Days after the relevant request having been made), the Swiss Note Guarantor shall (and with respect to sub-paragraph (y)(c) below, each Note Party shall) (x) perform any obligations which are not affected by the above limitations, and (y) if and to the extent required by Applicable Law applicable to such Swiss Note Guarantor or reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent:

(A) provide the Collateral Agent with an interim balance sheet audited by the statutory auditors of the Swiss Note Guarantor setting out the Swiss Maximum Amount;

(B) convert restricted reserves into reserves freely available for distribution as dividends (to the extent permitted by mandatory Swiss law); and

(C) take any further corporate and other action as may be required by law (such as board and shareholders’ approvals and the receipt of any confirmations from the Swiss Note Guarantor’s statutory auditors) and other measures reasonably necessary to allow the Swiss Note Guarantor to make the payments agreed under this Note Guaranty or any other Finance Document with a minimum of limitations and, promptly thereafter, pay up to the Swiss Maximum Amount to the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties).

(iii) If the enforcement of Restricted Obligations would be limited due to the effects referred to in this Section 2.12, then each Note Party and the relevant Swiss Note Guarantor shall (x) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, revalue and/or realize any of such Swiss Note Guarantor’s assets that are shown on its balance sheet with a book value that is significantly lower than the market value of such assets, in case of realisation, however, only if such assets are not necessary for the Swiss Note Guarantor’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig) and (y) reduce the Swiss Note Guarantor’s share/quota capital to the minimum allowed under then Applicable Law.

(b) German Note Guarantor Guaranty Limitations.

(i) The right to demand payment under this Note Guaranty and to enforce the Note Guaranty against a Note Guarantor incorporated in Germany as a private limited company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung) (a “German Note Guarantor”), to the extent the Note Guaranty relates to obligations of a direct or indirect shareholder of the German Note Guarantor or Subsidiaries of such shareholders (except where such entity is, at the same time, a Subsidiary of the German Note Guarantor), shall be limited to the amount which may be paid by it or enforced against it without causing a Capital Impairment as determined by application of the following paragraphs (“German Maximum Amount”):

8

(1) A “Capital Impairment” occurs if the payment or enforcement causes (A) the German Note Guarantor’s net assets to be (determined in accordance with the provisions of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch, “HGB”) consistently applied by the German Note Guarantor in preparing its unconsolidated balance sheets (Jahresabschluss) according to section 42 of the German Limited Liabilities Companies Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung, “GmbHG”) and in accordance with sections 30, 31 GmbHG (as applicable at the time of enforcement) and by only taking into account the sum of the values of the assets of the German Note Guarantor which correspond to those items listed in section 266 subsection (2) A, B, C, D and E HGB less the German Note Guarantor’s liabilities, consisting of all liabilities and liability reserves which correspond to those items listed in accordance with section 266 subsection (3) B (but disregarding, for the avoidance of doubt, any provisions (Rückstellungen) in respect of this Note Guaranty), C, D and E HGB and any amounts not available for distribution according to section 253 paragraph 6 or section 268 subsection (8) HGB but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any liabilities under or relating to the Guaranteed Obligations) and in each case subject to the adjustments under in sub-paragraph (2) below (the “Net Assets”) to be less than its registered share capital (Stammkapital) (Begründung einer Unterbilanz); or (B) if the German Note Guarantor’s Net Assets are already less than its registered share capital, the German Note Guarantor’s Net Assets to be further reduced (Vertiefung einer Unterbilanz).

(2) For the purposes of calculating the Net Assets, the following balance sheet items shall be adjusted as follows: (A) the amount of any increase of the stated share capital (Stammkapital) of the German Note Guarantor registered after the date of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent shall not be taken into account; (B) any funds received by the Issuer under the Notes Purchase Agreement which have been or are on-lent or otherwise passed on to the relevant German Note Guarantor or to any subsidiary of such German Note Guarantor and have not yet been repaid at the time when payment of a Guaranteed Obligation is demanded, shall be disregarded as assets; (C) loans provided to the German Note Guarantor by the Issuer or any subsidiary of the Issuer which are subordinated by law or by contract shall be disregarded as liabilities; and (D) any loans or other liabilities of the German Note Guarantor incurred in violation of any of the provisions of the Finance Documents shall be disregarded as liabilities.

(ii) The limitation of the Note Guaranty of the German Note Guarantor to the German Maximum Amount shall only apply if and to the extent that the managing director(s) (Geschäftsführer) of the relevant German Note Guarantor on behalf of relevant German Note Guarantor have confirmed in writing to the Collateral Agent within 10 (ten) Business Days following the Collateral Agent’s demand under the Note Guaranty to what extent the demanded payment would lead to the occurrence of a Capital Impairment (the “Management Determination”). Such confirmation shall comprise an up-to-date balance sheet of the German Note Guarantor and a detailed calculation of the amount of the Net Assets and share capital (taking into account the adjustments set out in sub-paragraph (2) above) of the German Note Guarantor. The relevant German Note Guarantor shall fulfil its obligations under the Note Guaranty within 3 (three) Business Days of providing the Management Determination (and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to enforce the Note Guaranty) in an amount which pursuant to the Management Determination would not cause a Capital Impairment (irrespective of whether or not the Collateral Agent agrees with the Management Determination).

9

(iii) If the Collateral Agent, acting reasonably, disagrees with the Management Determination, the German Note Guarantor shall, in consultation with the Collateral Agent, instruct (at its own cost and expense) a firm of auditors of international standing and reputation to draw-up within 20 (twenty) Business Days (or such longer period as has been agreed between the German Note Guarantor and the Collateral Agent) from the date the Collateral Agent has contested the Management Determination an up-to-date balance sheet of the German Note Guarantor together with a detailed calculation of the amount of the Net Assets and share capital and to what extent the demanded payment would lead to the occurrence of a Capital Impairment (the “Auditor’s Determination”). The amounts determined in the Auditor’s Determination shall be (except for manifest error) binding for all Parties. The German Note Guarantor shall fulfil its obligations under the Guarantee within 3 (three) Business Days of providing the Auditor’s Determination (and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to enforce the Note Guaranty) in an amount which pursuant to the Auditor’s Determination would not cause a Capital Impairment.

(iv) If and to the extent that the Note Guaranty has been enforced without regard to the German Maximum Amount because the amount payable under the Note Guaranty resulting from the Auditor’s Determination is lower than the respective amount resulting from the Management Determination, the Collateral Agent shall upon demand of the relevant German Note Guarantor repay the difference between the amount paid and the amount payable resulting from the Auditor’s Determination calculated as of the date the demand under the Note Guaranty was made.

(v) The limitation of the Note Guaranty of the German Note Guarantor to the German Maximum Amount does not apply (A) if the German Note Guarantor does not provide the Management Determination within the time frame set out above; (B) to any amounts which correspond to funds that have been received by the Issuer under the Notes Purchase Agreement and have been on-lent to, or otherwise been passed on to, the relevant German Note Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries to the extent that any such on-lent or passed-on amount is still outstanding at the date demand under the Note Guaranty is made; (C) to any amounts payable under the Note Guaranty if and as long as the German Note Guarantor is subject to a domination and/or profit and loss transfer agreement (either directly or through a chain of such agreements) pursuant to Section 291 AktG on the date of the enforcement of the Note Guaranty as dominated company with the Issuer or the relevant other Note Guarantor whose obligations are secured by the Note Guaranty of the German Note Guarantor (and which shall be enforced against the German Note Guarantor) as dominating company; (D) if and to the extent the German Note Guarantor holds a fully recoverable loss compensation claim (vollwertiger Gegenleistungs- oder Rückgewähranspruch) against the Issuer or the relevant other Note Guarantor whose obligations are secured by the Note Guaranty of the German Note Guarantor (and which shall be enforced against the German Note Guarantor) that can be accounted for in the balance sheet as full value; (E) if the German Note Guarantor is insolvent; or (F) if and to the extent (based on changes in law or based on a decision of the Federal Supreme Court (BGH)) the enforcement of the Note Guaranty granted by any German Note Guarantor under this Agreement does not result in a personal liability of the managing directors (Geschäftsführer) of the German Note Guarantor including pursuant to section 43 GmbHG, each as amended, supplemented and/or replaced from time to time.

(vi) If the Management Determination shows that a Capital Impairment would occur upon payment under the Note Guaranty, the relevant German Note Guarantor shall realise all of its assets that are shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is significantly lower than the market value of the assets to the extent this is necessary to fulfil its obligations under the Note Guaranty. If the relevant assets are necessary for the business of that German Note Guarantor (betriebsnotwendig), it will use its best efforts to realize the higher market value (including by sale and lease-back or similar measures).

(vii) Sections 2.09(b)(iii) and this section 2.12(b) shall apply mutatis mutandis if the Note Guaranty is granted by a German Note Guarantor incorporated as a limited liability partnership (KG) in relation to each general partner (Komplementär) incorporated as a limited liability company (GmbH) or the Guarantee is granted by a German Note Guarantor incorporated as a partnership (OHG) in relation to each partner incorporated as a limited liability company (GmbH).

SECTION 2.13 Additional Foreign Guarantor Limitations/Waivers. To the extent that the jurisdiction of organization of any Note Guarantor that becomes a party to this Note Guaranty pursuant to Section 3.04 requires the inclusion of any additional local law provisions and limitations with respect to such new Note Guarantor’s Guaranteed Obligations, such provisions, set out in the Joinder Agreement (if any), shall be deemed to be automatically incorporated by reference into this Section 2.13.

SECTION 2.14 Taxes. Subject to section 15 of the Note Purchase Agreement, each Note Guarantor shall be entitled to deduct and withhold any applicable taxes or similar charges (including without limitation interest, penalties or similar amounts in respect thereof) imposed or levied pursuant to applicable local, foreign, or domestic laws, from any payment to be made on or in connection with this Note Guaranty or the Note. Provided that the Note Guarantor remits such withheld amount to the relevant government authority or agency pursuant to applicable local, foreign, or domestic laws and files all required forms in respect thereof and, at the same time, provides copies of such remittance and filing to the Collateral Agent, the amount of any such deduction or withholding will be considered an amount paid in satisfaction of the Note Guarantor’s obligations under this Note Guaranty.

SECTION 3.18 Judgment Currency. If, for purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange which shall be applied shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures of the Collateral Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding the day on which the final judgment is rendered. Each Note Guarantor shall make payment relative to any Guaranteed Obligations in the currency (the “Agreement Currency”) in which such Note Guarantor is required to pay the related Guaranteed Obligations. If a Note Guarantor makes payment relative to its obligations hereunder in a currency (the “Other Currency”) other than the Agreement Currency (whether voluntarily or pursuant to an order or judgement of a court or tribunal of any jurisdiction), such payment shall constitute a discharge of the liabilities of such Note Guarantor only to the extent that on the Business Day following the receipt by the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) of any sum so due hereunder, the Collateral Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Other Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) from such Note Guarantor in the Agreement Currency, such Note Guarantor agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any judgment, agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Collateral Agent in such currency, the Collateral Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to the applicable Note Guarantor (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under Applicable Law).
