The notary advised the deponents that the parties hereto have to be designated in such a way that their identity is beyond reasonable doubt. The deponents declared that they are not able at the moment to identify the parties listed in Schedule 1 in more detail and asked the notary to specify the parties as set out in this deed.
In the case a certified copy of the power of attorney is attached to this deed, the original was presented to the notary. In the case only a faxed copy is attached, originals shall be provided to the notary in due course. Certified copies thereof shall be sealed to the present deed.
The proxies do not assume any liability as to the validity or the scope of the powers of attorney presented. The notary advised the deponents that he is obliged to verify the powers of representation of the deponents and to examine the documents presented with respect to a proof of such powers. After a discussion of the documentation presented today and promised to be submitted in due course, the deponents declared that they did not wish any further proof of their power of representation. In particular, all parties do not deem it expedient that a copy of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and of the relevant assignment and acceptance or additional bank secured party acknowledgments be presented and attached to this deed as further evidence for the due representation of the parties listed in Schedule 1 and asked the notary to continue with the notarisation.
Both deponents identified themselves to the notary by submission of valid official identification documents.
The notary asked the deponents regarding a prior involvement according to sec. 3 para. 1 sent. 1 no. 7 of the German Notarisation Act (Beurkundungsgesetz). After having been instructed by the notary the deponents and the notary answered this question in the negative.
The deponents requested the notary to notarise this deed in the English language for the convenience of the parties represented by them and confirmed that they are in adequate command of the English language. The notary declared that he is in adequate command of the English language as well.
With a view to the Confirmation and Amendment Agreement concluded hereinafter, the deponents make reference to (verweisen au’) deed no. 1186/2009-S of the notary Dr. Schmiegelt with offices in Frankfurt/Main, dated 5 November 2009 and containing the Share Pledge Agreements (as defined below) in its Attachments 3 to 8 (the “Reference Deed”).

The persons appeared stated that the Reference Deed is hereby incorporated into this Deed as though recorded herein and it hereby constitutes an integral part of this Agreement.
The deponents, acting as aforesaid, then requested the notary to notarise the following:

3.4   The Collateral Agent, the other Current Pledgees and each Pledgor agree that this Agreement shall constitute a “Security Document” for the purposes of the First Lien

- 13 -


 

    Intercreditor Agreement (and for no other purpose) and that, all rights, duties, privileges, protections and benefits of the Collateral Agent set forth in the Amended Security Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference.
 
4.   NOTIFICATION
 
4.1   Each Pledgor and the Pledgees hereby give notice of this Agreement and the pledges pursuant to Clause 3.3 to the relevant Company the Shares in which it has pledged under the Share Pledge Agreements.
 
4.2   Each Company hereby acknowledges the notification pursuant to Clause 4.1 above.
 
5.   PARTIAL INVALIDITY
 
    If at any time, any one or more of the provisions hereof is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent necessary without affecting or impairing the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or of such provisions in any other jurisdiction. The invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be deemed replaced with a valid, legal or enforceable provision which comes as close as possible to the original intent of the parties and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision. Should a gap (Regelungslücke) become evident in this Agreement, such gap shall, without affecting or impairing the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, be deemed to be filled with such provision as comes as close as possible to the original intent of the parties.
 
6.   AMENDMENTS
 
    Changes and amendments to this Agreement including this Clause 5 shall be made in writing except where notarisation is required.
 
7.   APPLICABLE LAW; JURISDICTION
 
7.1   This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.
 
7.2   The place of jurisdiction for any and all disputes arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be the district court (Landgericht) in Frankfurt am Main. The Collateral Agent and the Pledgees (as defined in the Share Pledge Agreements), however, shall also be entitled to take action against the respective Pledgor in any other court of competent jurisdiction. Further, the taking of proceedings against the respective Pledgor in any one or more jurisdictions shall not preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdiction (whether concurrently or not) if and to the extent permitted by applicable law.

The Notary advised the persons appearing:
    that a pledge is a security instrument of strictly accessory nature (which means that it comes into legal existence only if, to the extent that, and as long as, the underlying secured claims do in fact exist, and that the owners of the secured claims and the pledgees must be identical);
 
    that notwithstanding Section 16 para 3 German Limited Liability Companies Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung) there is no bona fide creation, acquisition nor ranking of a pledge of shares (in the sense that the pledgees are not protected if the shares purported to be pledged do not exist or have been previously encumbered for the benefit of a third party); and
 
    that the English original version of this Agreement will not be acceptable for enforcement but will have to be translated, by a certified translator, into German for such purposes.
 
    The above Agreement including the Schedules was read aloud by the Notary to the persons appearing, approved by them and signed by the persons appearing and by the Notary in their own hand as follows:
         
     
  /s/ David Witzel
