- 1 -
NOW, IT IS AGREED as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS AND LANGUAGES
1.1 In this Agreement:
"AUTHORIZATION" has the meaning given to it in Clause 6.
"CONTINUING" in relation to an Enforcement Event, shall be construed as
a reference to an acceleration of any Secured Obligation (other than
Secured Obligations arising under the New Bonding Facility Agreement)
where such acceleration has not been rescinded in writing or a
declaration that the Secured Obligations (other than Secured
Obligations arising under the New Bonding Facility Agreement) are
prematurely due and payable (other than solely as a result of it
becoming unlawful for a Secured Creditor to perform its obligations
under the Relevant Documents) where such declaration has not been
revoked in writing or any failure by an Obligor to pay any principal
amount in respect of any Secured Obligations (other than Secured
Obligations arising under the New Bonding Facility Agreement) whether
on maturity or otherwise which has not been waived in writing. For the
purposes of this definition of "continuing" the expression "Secured
Obligations" shall have the same meaning as in the Security Trust and
Intercreditor Deed.
"RECEIVABLES" means all present and future rights and claims owing to
the Assignor and originating from shareholders loans, including but not
limited to those specified in Schedule 1.
"SECURED OBLIGATIONS" has the meaning given to it under clause 2.
"SECURITY TRUST AND INTERCREDITOR DEED" has the meaning given to it in
Clause (B) of the recitals.
1.2 Unless otherwise defined herein or unless the context requires,
capitalised terms shall have the same meaning as ascribed thereto in
the Security Trust and Intercreditor Deed.
1.3 This Agreement is made in the English language. For the avoidance of
doubt, the English language version of this Agreement shall prevail
over any translation of this Agreement. However, where a German
translation of a word or phrase appears in the text of this Agreement,
the German translation of such word or phrase shall prevail.
- 2 -
1.4 The parties hereto each acknowledge that the Security Trustee, when
acting hereunder, shall, to the extent permitted under the laws of
Germany, be acting in accordance with and subject to the terms of the
Security Trust and Intercreditor Deed.
2. SECURED OBLIGATIONS
The assignment hereunder (the "ASSIGNMENT") is constituted in order to
secure together with other security granted by the Assignor the prompt
and complete satisfaction of any and all obligations (present and
future, actual and contingent) which are (or are expressed to be) or
become owing by the Assignor to the Secured Creditors or any of them
(including any future assignee or transferee of any of the Secured
Creditors by way of transfer or assignment (including by way of
assumption of debt (Vertragsubernahme)) under the Relevant Documents
(including, but not limited to the parallel obligations of the Assignor
pursuant to clause 3 of the Security Trust and Intercreditor Deed to
pay to the Security Trustee sums equal to the sums owed by the Assignor
to the Secured Creditors or any of them) (the "SECURED OBLIGATIONS") up
to an aggregate amount of EUR 170 million.
3. ASSIGNMENT
3.1 The Assignor hereby assigns the Receivables to the Security Trustee in
its capacity as Security Trustee for the benefit of the Secured
Creditors.
3.2 The Security Trustee hereby accepts the assignment of the Receivables.
3.3 Subject to clause 3.4 below the existing Receivables shall pass over to
the Security Trustee on execution of this Agreement, and any future
Receivables shall pass over to the Security Trustee at the date such
Receivables arise.
3.4 Notwithstanding the other provisions in this Clause 3 the assignment of
all Receivables shall be effective only if and upon the condition
(aufschiebende Bedingung) that the aggregate amount of Receivables owed
to the Assignor exceeds GBP 20 million or its equivalent in any other
currency.
4. INFORMATION
4.1 The Assignor shall, upon request of the Security Trustee deliver to the
Security Trustee such further information on the Receivables as deemed
necessary by the Security Trustee.
- 3 -
4.2 The Assignor undertakes to provide the Security Trustee promptly at its
request with all information and documents which are necessary for
perfecting and/or enforcing the security created hereby.
5. TRANSFER OF ANCILLARY RIGHTS
5.1 Together with all the Receivables assigned and transferred in
accordance with this Agreement, all securities, collateral and all
ancillary rights pertaining thereto, as well as all rights resulting
from the underlying agreements (hereinafter together with the
Receivables referred to as the "COLLATERAL"), are hereby transferred to
and assigned to the Security Trustee, to the extent such rights are not
automatically transferred to the Security Trustee pursuant to Section
401 of the German Civil Code (Burgerliches Gesetzbuch). The Assignor's
claims to demand repossession against the direct possessor are assigned
to the Security Trustee at the same time.
5.2 If the Assignor is in direct possession of the Collateral, the delivery
of such Collateral shall be substituted by the Assignor holding the
Collateral in gratuitous custody for the Security Trustee.
6. COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES BY THE ASSIGNOR
The Security Trustee authorises the Assignor to collect the Receivables
(such authorization hereinafter referred to as the "AUTHORIZATION") to
the extent not expressly prohibited by the terms of the Indentures. The
Security Trustee may revoke the Authorization upon the occurrence of an
Insolvency Event of Default and the Security Trustee shall revoke the
Authorization if the Security Trustee has been so instructed pursuant
to the Security Trust and Intercreditor Deed upon or at any time after
the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, whereupon
the Assignor may continue to collect the Receivables but shall promptly
surrender the proceeds to the Security Trustee. Until the requirements
set out in Clause 7.1 are met the Security Trustee shall treat such
proceeds as additional collateral for the Secured Obligations. To the
extent that the Authorization is revoked, the Security Trustee may
request that copies of all documents relating to the Receivables be
handed over to it and the Assignor hereby agrees to comply with any
such request. For the avoidance of doubt nothing in this Clause 6 shall
restrict the right of the Security Trustee to enforce its rights under
Clause 7 if the requirements set out in Clause 7.1 are met.
- 4 -
7. RIGHT TO REALISATION UPON ENFORCEMENT EVENT
7.1 At any time after the occurrence of an Enforcement Event which is
continuing and the Security Trustee (acting on instructions received
pursuant to the terms of the Security Trust and Intercreditor Deed)
giving notice to the Issuer thereof and if any of the Secured
Obligations became due and payable the Security Trustee shall, in its
discretion, be entitled to arrange for the collection or disposal of
Receivables for and on behalf of the Secured Creditors in accordance
with the provisions of this Clause 7.
7.2 To the extent that the Authorization is revoked, the Security Trustee
may request that originals of all documents relating to the Receivables
be handed over to it and the Assignor hereby agrees to comply with any
such request.
7.3 The Security Trustee shall realise all or part of the Collateral to the
extent necessary to satisfy any outstanding Secured Obligations by
collecting all or part of the Receivables, it being understood that the
Security Trustee shall apply the proceeds of such realisation towards
the Secured Obligations in accordance with and subject to the terms of
the Security Trust and Intercreditor Deed.
7.4 The Security Trustee may request the Assignor to collect the
Receivables for and on behalf of the Secured Creditors and the Assignor
shall promptly comply with such request.
7.5 If the Security Trustee collects any Receivables pursuant to this
Clause 7, it may take all measures and enter into all agreements with
the debtors of the Receivables which it considers to be expedient.
7.6 With respect to the realisation of the Collateral, the Security Trustee
will take into consideration the legitimate interest of the Assignor.
8. LIMITATION OF SECURITY
8.1 The right to enforce the security interests created hereunder shall, to
the extent that the Secured Obligations represent those of an
affiliated company (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of
Section 15 et seq. of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz)
of the Assignor (other than any of the Assignor's subsidiaries), at all
times be limited to an amount equal to the Assignor's assets (the
calculation of which shall take into account the captions reflected in
Section 266 sub-section (2) A, B and C of the German Commercial Code
(Handelsgesetzbuch)) less the sum of (A) the Assignor's liabilities
(the calculation of which shall take into account the captions
reflected in Section 266 subsection (3) B, C and D of the
- 5 -
count the captions reflected in Section(3)B, C and D of the German
Commercial Code), and (B) the stated share capital (Stammkapital)
of the Assignor (the "NET ASSETS").
8.2 The Assignor shall realise, to the extent legally permitted and, in
respect of the Assignor, commercially justifiable, in a situation where
the Assignor does not have sufficient Net Assets to maintain its
registered share capital, any and 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 if the asset is not necessary
for the Assignor's business (betriebsnotwendig).
8.3 The Security Trustee shall enforce any security interest created
hereunder against the Assignor in accordance with the following
procedure:
(i) The Assignor shall, following a notification by the
Security Trustee to the Assignor that an Enforcement
Event has occurred and that the Security Trustee
intends to enforce the security interests created
hereunder, deliver to the Security Trustee within
sixty days of such notification an auditors'
determination from a firm of auditors of
international standard and reputation (the "AUDITORS'
DETERMINATION") stating the value of the Net Assets,
i.e., the amounts which may be claimed against the
Assignor under the security interests created
hereunder having regard to Sections 30 and 31 of the
German Limited Liability Companies Act.
(ii) The Auditors' Determination, i.e., the amount which
may be claimed against the Assignor under the
security interests created hereunder, having regard
to Section 30 and 31 of the German Limited Liability
Companies Act, shall take into account the generally
accepted accounting principles applicable from time
to time in Germany (GAAP) and be based on the same
principles that were applied when establishing the
previous year's balance sheet.
(iii) The amount specified in the relevant Auditors'
Determination pertaining to the Assignor shall be
up-to-date and in any event such Auditors'
Determination shall have been prepared as of a date
no earlier than 15 business days prior to the date of
notification by the Security Trustee to the Assignor
that it intends to enforce the security interests
created hereunder.
- 6 -
(iv) If the Assignor fails to deliver the Auditors'
Determination to the Security Trustee within the
sixty day period stated in (i) above, the Security
Trustee shall be entitled to enforce the security
interests created hereunder against the Assignor
without limitation.
9. FURTHER ASSURANCE
Insofar as additional documents, declarations or actions (including
making all filings and registrations) are necessary for the creation,
perfection, protection or maintenance of the security interests created
(or purported to be created) hereunder (or any of them) in favour of
the Security Trustee or for the exercise of all rights, powers and
remedies of the Security Trustee provided by or pursuant to this
Agreement or by law or to facilitate the realisation of the security
interests created (or purported to be created) hereunder (or any of
them), the Assignor shall at the Security Trustee's request enter into
or provide such documents, make such declarations and/or undertake such
actions at the Assignor's cost and expense.
10. RELEASE (SICHERHEITENFREIGABE)
10.1 Upon complete and irrevocable satisfaction of the Secured Obligations,
the Security Trustee shall (in accordance with the terms and subject to
the conditions and circumstances set out in the Security Trust and
Intercreditor Deed and without recourse to, or any representations or
warranty by, the Security Trustee or any of its nominees) at the cost
and expense of the Assignor reassign and/or transfer, as the case may
require, to the Assignor, which shall accept such re-assignment and/or
re-transfer, the Collateral and surrender the excess proceeds, if any,
resulting from any realisation thereof. The Security Trustee will,
however, transfer any Receivables to a third person if so required by
law.
10.2 At any time when the total value of the aggregate security granted by
the Assignor to secure the Secured Obligations (the "SECURITY") which
can be expected to be realised in the event of an enforcement of the
Security (realisierbarer ▇▇▇▇) exceeds 110% of the Secured Obligations
(the "LIMIT") not only temporarily, the Security Trustee shall (in
accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions and
circumstances set out in the Security Trust and Intercreditor Deed and
without recourse to, or any representations or warranty by, the
Security Trustee or any of its nominees) on demand of the Assignor
release such part of the Security (Sicherheitenfreigabe) as the
Security Trustee may in its discretion determine so as to reduce the
realisable value of the Security to the Limit.
- 7 -
11. BOOKKEEPING AND DATA-PROCESSING
11.1 If proof or documents which are necessary to identify the Collateral
have been handed over by the Assignor to a third party (in particular a
bookkeeping firm or a tax consultant) the Assignor hereby transfers (on
condition of (aufschiebende Bedingung) (i) the occurrence of an
Insolvency Event of Default or (ii) notice by the Security Trustee if
the Security Trustee has been so instructed pursuant to the Security
Trust and Intercreditor Deed upon or at any time after the occurrence
of an Event of Default which is continuing)to the Security Trustee, who
accepts such transfer, its right to demand from such third party the
return of the information and documents. The Assignor hereby undertakes
to instruct the third party upon such transfer to provide the Security
Trustee upon its demand with such information and documents which are
necessary to perfect and/or enforce the security created hereby.
11.2 If details concerning the Collateral or any part thereof have been
stored in an electronic data-processing system, then, upon the
occurrence of an Insolvency Event of Default or upon request by the
Security Trustee if the Security Trustee has been so instructed
pursuant to the Security Trust and Intercreditor Deed upon or at any
time after the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing,
the Assignor shall allow the Security Trustee access to the computer,
including the peripheral equipment and all data concerning the
Collateral or such part thereof. Moreover, software operators shall be
made available insofar as so required, and any assistance required
shall be provided to the Security Trustee. If a third party handles the
electronic processing of data, the Assignor hereby transfers (on
condition of (aufschiebende Bedingung) (i) the occurrence of an
Insolvency Event of Default or (ii) notice by the Security Trustee if
the Security Trustee has been so instructed pursuant to the Security
Trust and Intercreditor Deed upon or at any time after the occurrence
of an Event of Default which is continuing) to the Security Trustee,
who accepts this transfer, all rights against such third party relating
to these services. The Assignor hereby undertakes to instruct the third
party upon such transfer to handle the processing of data for the
Security Trustee upon its demand as it did for the Assignor.
11.3 After transfer of the rights to the Security Trustee as contemplated in
Clauses 11.1 and 11.2, the Security Trustee shall promptly upon request
of the Assignor or after the Security Trustee receiving instructions
pursuant to the Security Trust and Intercreditor Deed instruct the
third party to provide the Assignor with such services and information
as necessary for the Assignor in connection with the preparation and
delivery of the Auditors' Determination.

validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of

gaps.
