11.2Reversal of redistribution

12.Enforcement of Shared Transaction Security

 

12.1Enforcement Instructions

(c)Subject to paragraph ‎(b) of Clause ‎12.2 (Manner of enforcement), the Shared Security Agent may refrain from enforcing any Shared Transaction Security unless the relevant enforcement instructions contain confirmations (in form and substance satisfactory to the Shared Security Agent) from the Agent or Agents (as appropriate) that, either together or independently, the Agent or Agents have been instructed by the Enforcement Majority Creditors. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Shared Security Agent has received an instruction from an Agent representing Creditors who constitute the Enforcement Majority Creditors, the Shared Security Agent shall not be required to receive confirmations from any other Agent before relying on or complying with enforcement instructions given in accordance with this Clause ‎12.1.

 

(d)Subject to paragraph ‎(c) above, the Shared Security Agent is entitled to rely on and comply with the enforcement instructions given in accordance with this Clause ‎12.1.

 

(e)For the purposes of this Clause ‎12, "enforcement instructions" means instructions from an Agent or Agents (acting on behalf of the relevant Enforcement Majority Creditors) to the Shared Security Agent to enforce the Shared Transaction Security and shall not include any instruction from an Agent or Agents (acting on behalf of the relevant Enforcement Majority Creditors) not to enforce the Shared Transaction Security.

No Secured Party (other than the Enforcement Majority Creditors) shall have any independent power to enforce, or have recourse to, any of the Shared Transaction Security or to exercise any rights, power, authority or discretion arising under the Shared Security Documents except through the Shared Security Agent in accordance with this Agreement.

 

12.3Alternative enforcement instructions

 

(a)After the Shared Security Agent has received enforcement instructions from an Agent or Agents representing (either together or independently) a group of Primary Creditors constituting the Enforcement Majority Creditors (the "first enforcement instructions") it shall not accept any subsequent instructions that are inconsistent with the first enforcement instructions from any other group of Primary Creditors constituting the Enforcement Majority Creditors.

 

(b)If the first enforcement instructions have been irrevocably withdrawn by the Agent or Agents representing (either together or independently) the Enforcement Majority Creditors that gave the first enforcement instructions, any other group of Primary Creditors constituting the Enforcement Majority Creditors may give enforcement instructions in accordance with Clause ‎12.1 (Enforcement Instructions).

- 45

 

 

(B)90 per cent. of the Luxembourg Guarantor's own funds (capitaux propres), as referred to in article 34 of the RCS Law) plus Intra-Group Commitments (as defined below) (excluding however any amounts taken into account under ‎(i) above) as reflected in its last annual accounts duly approved and available as at the date of this Agreement.

 

(b)The amount of the capitaux propres under this Clause ‎13 shall be determined by the Shared Security Agent acting in its sole commercially reasonable discretion and shall be adjusted (by derogation to the rules contained in the RCS Law and the Regulation), to take into account the fair value rather than the book value of the assets of the Luxembourg Guarantor.

 

(c)For the purpose of paragraph ‎(a) above, "Intra-Group Commitments" shall mean any amounts owed by the Luxembourg Guarantor to any other member(s) of the Group and that have not been financed (directly or indirectly) under the Debt Documents.

(ii)that Entitled Creditor promptly so notifies the Shared Security Agent and supplies such supporting evidence as the Shared Security Agent may reasonably require,

 

that Primary Creditor shall be a "Cash Only Creditor" and the Non-Cash Recoveries to which it is entitled shall be "Retained Non-Cash".

 

(c)To the extent that, in relation to any distribution of Non-Cash Recoveries, there is a Cash Only Creditor:

 

(i)the Shared Security Agent shall not distribute any Retained Non-Cash to that Cash Only Creditor (or to any Agent on behalf of that Cash Only Creditor) but shall otherwise treat the Non-Cash Recoveries in accordance with this Agreement;

(e)On any such distribution of Cash Proceeds which are attributable to a disposal of any Retained Non-Cash, the extent to which such distribution is treated as discharging the Liabilities due to the relevant Cash Only Creditor shall be determined by reference to:

 

- 55

 

 

(i)the valuation which determined the extent to which the distribution of the Non-Cash Recoveries to the other Entitled Creditors discharged the Liabilities due to those Entitled Creditors; and

 

(ii)the Retained Non Cash to which those Cash Proceeds are attributable.

 

(f)Each Primary Creditor shall, following a request by the Shared Security Agent (acting in accordance with Clause ‎15.7 (Shared Security Agent's Actions)), notify the Shared Security Agent of the extent to which paragraph (b)(i) above would apply to it in relation to any distribution or proposed distribution of Non-Cash Recoveries.

Each Creditor and Debtor will:

 

(a)do all things that the Shared Security Agent requests in order to give effect to Clause ‎14 (Non-Distressed Disposals) and Clause ‎15 (Distressed Disposals and Appropriation) (which shall include, without limitation, the execution of any assignments, transfers, releases or other documents that the Shared Security Agent may consider to be necessary to give effect to the releases or disposals contemplated by those Clauses); and

 

(b)if the Shared Security Agent is not entitled to take any of the actions contemplated by those Clauses or if the Shared Security Agent requests that any Creditor or Debtor take any such action, take that action itself in accordance with the instructions of the Shared Security Agent,

 

provided that the proceeds of any disposals are, to the extent required, applied in accordance with Clause ‎14 (Non-Distressed Disposals) and Clause ‎15 (Distressed Disposals and Appropriation) as the case may be.

Liabilities owed to that person at the time at which that calculation is to be made; and
