7.2 The Assignor hereby assigns to the Collateral Agent its right to reassignment of Receivables assigned to a supplier by reason of an extended retention of title arrangement as well as any contingent claims to the transfer of all proceeds paid out to the supplier, together with all rights pertaining thereto.

10.6 Notwithstanding sub-Clause 10.4, the Collateral Agent may, in its sole discretion, determine which of several security interests (created under this or other security agreements) shall be used to satisfy the Secured Obligations.

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 Assignor (or, in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner) in the preparation of its most recent annual balance sheet (Jahresbilanz).

“Protected Capital” means in relation to the Assignor the aggregate amount of:

 

  (a) its (or, where the Assignor is a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner’s) share capital (Stammkapital) as registered in the commercial register (Handelsregister) provided that any increase registered after the date of this Agreement shall not be taken into account unless (i) if the increase has been effected out of retained earnings (Kapitalerhöhung aus Gesellschaftsmitteln) such increase has been effected with the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and, in any case, (ii) only to the extent it is fully paid up; and

 

  (b) its (or when applicable where the Assignor is a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner’s) amount of profits (Gewinne) which are not available for distribution to its shareholder(s) in accordance with section 268 paragraph 8 HGB.

“Up-stream and/or Cross-stream Security” means the security created hereunder (which, for the purpose of this Clause 11 (Limitations on Enforcement), shall also include any other obligation of the Assignor to reimburse costs or pay indemnities under or in connection with any Secured Document) if and to the extent the security

 

- 12 -

created hereunder secures the obligations of a Loan Party and/or Notes Party which is a shareholder of the Assignor (and/or, in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, of its general partner) or an affiliated company (verbundenes Unternehmen) of such shareholder within the meaning of section 16, 17 or 18 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) (other than the Assignor and its subsidiaries and, in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, the general partner and its subsidiaries), provided that it shall not constitute an Up-stream or Cross-stream Security if and to the extent the security created hereunder secures amounts outstanding under any Secured Document in relation to any financial accommodation made available under such Secured Document to any Borrower and/or any of the Issuers and on-lent to, or issued for the benefit of, the Assignor or any of its subsidiaries (and, where the relevant Assignor is a GmbH & Co. KG, to, or for the benefit of, its general partner or any of its subsidiaries) and still outstanding from time to time.

This Clause 11 (Limitation on Enforcement) applies if and to the extent the security created hereunder is an Up-stream and/or Cross-stream Security.

 

11.2 The Collateral Agent agrees that the enforcement of the security created hereunder shall be limited if:

 

  11.2.1 (and to the extent that) the security constitutes an Upstream- and/or Cross- Stream Security; and

 

  11.2.2 the enforcement of the security created hereunder pursuant to Clause 10 (Enforcement) would otherwise

 

  (a) have the effect of reducing the Assignor’s (or, where the Assignor is a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner’s) Net Assets to an amount that is lower than the amount of its (or, in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner’s) Protected Capital or, if the amount of the Net Assets is already lower than the amount of its (or, in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner’s) Protected Capital, cause the Net Assets to be further reduced; and

 

  (b) thereby give rise to a violation of the capital maintenance requirement as set out in section 30 paragraph 1 of the German Limited Liability Companies Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung); and

 

  11.2.3 the Assignor has complied with its obligation to deliver the Management Determination and the Auditor’s Determination, in each case together with an up-to-date balance sheet, in accordance with the requirements set out in paragraphs 11.3 and 11.4 below.

 

11.3

Within ten (10) business days after the relevant Assignor’s receipt of notice from the Collateral Agent that it intends to enforce the security created hereunder, the Assignor shall provide a certificate signed by its managing director(s) (Geschäftsführer) confirming in writing if and to what extent the security created hereunder is an Up- stream and/or Cross-stream Security and an enforcement of the security would have the effects referred to in paragraph 11.2.2 above (the “Management Determination”). Such confirmation shall comprise an up-to-date balance sheet of the Assignor (and, in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner) and a detailed

 

- 13 -

  calculation, based on the provisions of this Agreement of the amount of the Net Assets and Protected Capital of the Assignor (or, in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner). The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to enforce the security created hereunder in an amount which pursuant to the Management Determination would not cause the effects set out in paragraph 11.2.2 above (irrespective of whether or not the Collateral Agent agrees with the Management Determination).

 

11.4 If the Collateral Agent disagrees with the Management Determination, it may within fifteen (15) business days of its receipt request the Assignor to deliver, at its own cost and expense, within thirty (30) business days of such request an up-to-date balance sheet of the Assignor (and, in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, of its general partner), drawn-up by an auditor appointed by the Assignor in consultation with the Collateral Agent, together with a detailed calculation, based on the provisions of this Agreement, of the amount of the Net Assets and Protected Capital of the Assignor (or, in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner) (the “Auditor’s Determination”). The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to enforce the security created hereunder in an amount which pursuant to the Auditor’s Determination would not cause the effects set out in paragraph 11.2.2 above.

 

11.5 No reduction of the amount enforceable pursuant to this Clause 11 (Limitations on Enforcement) will prejudice the right of the Collateral Agent to continue to enforce the security created hereunder (subject always to the operation of the limitations set out above at the time of such enforcement) until full satisfaction of the claims guaranteed.

 

11.6 The Assignor shall (and, in the case of a Assignor in the form of a GmbH & Co. KG, shall procure that its general partner will) do everything commercially justifiable and legally permitted to avoid the enforcement of the security created hereunder becoming limited pursuant to the terms of this Clause 11 (Limitations on Enforcement) and shall in particular after the occurrence and continuation of an Enforcement Event and within three (3) months after a written request of the Collateral Agent realise at least at market value any of its (and, in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, any of its general partner’s) assets that are not necessary, as determined by the relevant Assignor in its sole discretion, for its business (nicht betriebsnotwendig) (or, in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, that of its general partner) and is shown in its (or, in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner’s) balance sheet with a book value that is in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent significantly lower than the market value.

 

12. BOOKKEEPING AND DATA-PROCESSING

 

12.1 The Assignor hereby assigns to the Collateral Agent, who accepts such assignment, any right it has against any third party (in particular any bookkeeping firm or tax consultant) in respect of the return of any proof or documents which the Assignor has handed over to such third party and which are necessary to identify the Receivables. The Assignor undertakes to instruct such third party, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Enforcement Event, to provide the Collateral Agent upon demand with such information, proof and documents which are necessary to check, assess or enforce the Receivables.

 

12.2

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Enforcement Event, the Assignor shall allow the Collateral Agent access to any electronic data-processing system, including peripheral equipment, in which data concerning the Receivables or any part thereof have been stored. Moreover, the Assignor shall provide any assistance

 

- 14 -

  required to the Collateral Agent (including by making software operators available). The Assignor hereby assigns to the Collateral Agent, who accepts such assignment, all its rights against any third party which handles the electronic processing of data concerning the Receivables and undertakes to instruct such third party, upon a respective demand of the Collateral Agent following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Enforcement Event, to handle the processing of data for the Collateral Agent as it did for the Assignor provided that the Assignor shall continue to be given access to any data it requires in its ordinary course of business. The Collateral Agent hereby agrees, to the same extent required of the Assignor as a user of such electronic data-processing systems, to maintain and take reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of any information relating to proprietary information concerning such electronic data-processing systems.

 

12.3 The Collateral Agent authorises the Assignor to exercise the rights assigned to the Collateral Agent pursuant to sub-Clause 12.1 and 12.2 above at all times prior to the occurrence of an Enforcement Event.

 

13. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The Assignor represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent by way of an independent guarantee (selbständiges Garantieversprechen) that:

 

13.1 except for extended retention of title arrangements (verlängerter Eigentumsvorbehalt) it is the sole unrestricted owner of the Receivables and no other person is entitled to any Receivable as joint creditor (Gesamtgläubiger) or co-creditor (Mitgläubiger);

 

13.2 the factual information contained in Schedule 2 to Schedule 5 is true, accurate and complete in all material respects;

 

13.3 the Receivables are unencumbered, except to the extent encumbrances are not prohibited by the Secured Documents;

 

13.4 substantially all existing Receivables are and all future Receivables will be governed by German law; and

 

13.5 except for extended retention of title arrangements (verlängerter Eigentumsvorbehalt) the Receivables are assignable (abtretbar) and can be freely assigned by the Assignor.

 

14. UNDERTAKINGS OF THE ASSIGNOR

During the term of this Agreement, the Assignor undertakes to the Collateral Agent:

 

14.1 not to take, or participate in, any action which results or might result in a sale, transfer, encumbrance or other disposal of the Receivables or permit to subsist, create or agree to create any security interest or third party right in or over the Receivables, in each case, other than as not prohibited under the terms of this Agreement and/or the Secured Documents;

 

14.2 to refrain from any acts or omissions, the purpose or effect of which is or would be the material dilution of the value of the Receivables or the Receivables ceasing to be assignable or subjecting any Receivable to any law other than German law other than (i) in the Assignor’s ordinary course of business or (ii) as not prohibited under the terms of the Secured Documents; and

 

- 15 -

14.3 to inform the Collateral Agent without undue delay of any attachment (Pfändung) over any of the Receivables or part thereof and any third parties bringing claims in respect of any of the Receivables or part thereof or any other measures which might impair or jeopardize the Collateral Agent’s rights relating to any Receivable or materially impair its value, such notice to be accompanied by any documents the Collateral Agent might need to defend itself against any claim by a third party. In the event of an attachment, the Assignor undertakes to forward to the Collateral Agent without undue delay a copy of the attachment order (Pfändungsbeschluss), any transfer order (Überweisungsbeschluss) and all other documents necessary or expedient for a defence against such attachment. The Assignor shall inform the attaching creditor of the Collateral Agent’s security interests without undue delay.

 

15. POWER OF ATTORNEY

The Assignor, by way of security for its obligations under this Agreement, irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent to be its attorney (Stellvertreter) to do anything which the Assignor is required to do under this Agreement but has failed to do (and the Collateral Agent may delegate that power on such terms as it sees fit). For this purpose the Assignor relieves the Collateral Agent from the restrictions set out in Section 181 of the German Civil Code. The Collateral Agent shall only be able to exercise this power of attorney upon the occurrence of an Enforcement Event which has not been cured or waived and upon notice to the Assignor in accordance with the Credit Agreement and/or EUR Notes Indenture.

 

16. DURATION AND INDEPENDENCE

 

16.1 This Agreement shall create a continuing security and no change, amendment, or supplement whatsoever in the Secured Documents or in any document or agreement relating to any of the Secured Documents shall affect the validity or the scope of this Agreement nor the obligations which are imposed on the Assignor pursuant to it.

 

16.2 This Agreement is independent from any other security or guarantee which may have been or will be given to the Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent. None of such other security shall prejudice, or shall be prejudiced by, or shall be merged in any way with this Agreement.

 

16.3 Waiving Section 418 of the German Civil Code (applied by analogy), the Assignor hereby agrees that the security created hereunder shall not be affected by any transfer or assumption of the Secured Obligations to, or by, any third party.

 

17. RELEASE OF SECURITY (SICHERHEITENFREIGABE)

 

17.1 Upon complete and irrevocable satisfaction of the Secured Obligations (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted, (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements and (C) letters of credit which have been cash collateralized in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement), the Collateral Agent will as soon as reasonably practicable, at the cost and expense of the Assignor, reassign to the Assignor the Receivables and reassign the rights assigned to it pursuant to sub- Clause 12.1 and 12.2, and surrender the excess proceeds, if any, resulting from any realisation thereof. The Collateral Agent will, however, transfer any Receivable or excess proceeds to a third person if so required by law.

 

- 16 -

17.2 At any time when the total value of the aggregate security granted by the Assignor and the other Obligors to secure the Secured Obligations (the “Security”), which can be expected to be realised in the event of an enforcement of the Security (realisierbarer ▇▇▇▇), more than temporarily exceeds 110% of the Secured Obligations (the “Limit”), the Collateral Agent shall on demand of the Assignor release such part of the Security (Sicherheitenfreigabe) as the Collateral Agent may in its reasonable discretion determine so as to reduce the realisable value of the Security to the Limit.

 

18. PARTIAL INVALIDITY; WAIVER

 

18.1 The parties agree that should at any time, any provisions of this Agreement be or become void (nichtig), invalid or due to any reason ineffective (unwirksam) this will indisputably (unwiderlegbar) not affect the validity or effectiveness of the remaining provisions and this Agreement will remain valid and effective, save for the void, invalid or ineffective provisions, without any party having to argue (darlegen) and prove (beweisen) the parties’ intent to uphold this Agreement even without the void, invalid or ineffective provisions.

 

18.2 The void, invalid or ineffective provision shall be deemed replaced by such valid and effective provision that in legal and economic terms comes closest to what the parties intended or would have intended in accordance with the purpose of this Agreement if they had considered the point at the time of conclusion of this Agreement.

 

18.3 No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

 

19. AMENDMENTS

Changes and amendments to this Agreement including this Clause 19 shall be made in writing.
