Common use of Parallel Debt Foreign Obligations Clause in Contracts

Parallel Debt Foreign Obligations. (i) For the purpose of any Foreign Security Document governed by Dutch law, each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay as a separate and independent obligation to the Collateral Agent amounts equal to the aggregate amount payable (verschuldigd) to any of the Secured Parties under or pursuant to its Foreign Obligations (these payment undertakings to the Collateral Agent hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Parallel Debt Foreign Obligations”). The Parallel Debt Foreign Obligations will be payable in the currency or currencies of the relevant Foreign Obligations. (ii) The Parallel Debt Foreign Obligations will become due and payable (opeisbaar) immediately upon the Collateral Agent’s first demand, which may be made at any time, as and when one or more of the Foreign Obligations becomes due and payable. (iii) Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledges that (A) the Parallel Debt Foreign Obligations constitute undertakings, obligations and liabilities of the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers to the Collateral Agent which are transferable, separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the corresponding Foreign Obligations and (B) the Parallel Debt Foreign Obligations represent the Collateral Agent’s own separate claims to receive payment of the Parallel Debt Foreign Obligations from the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers, it being understood that the amounts which may become due and payable by the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers under or pursuant to the Parallel Debt Foreign Obligations from time to time shall never exceed the aggregate amount which is payable under the Foreign Obligations from time to time. (iv) For the avoidance of doubt, each of the parties to this Agreement confirms that the claims of the Collateral Agent against each of the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers in respect of the Parallel Debt Foreign Obligations and the claims of any or more of the Secured Parties against the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers under or pursuant to the Foreign Obligations payable to such Secured Parties do not constitute common property (een gemeenschap) within the meaning of Section 3:166 of the DCC and that the provisions relating to such common property shall not apply. If, however, it shall be held that such claims of the Collateral Agent and such claims of any one or more of the Secured Parties do constitute such common property and such provisions do apply, the parties to this Agreement agree that this Agreement shall constitute the administration agreement (beheersregeling) within the meaning of Section 3:168 of the DCC. (v) For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto confirm that this Agreement is not to be construed as an agreement as referred to in Section 6:16 of the DCC and that Section 6:16 of the DCC shall not apply. (vi) To the extent the Collateral Agent irrevocably (onaantastbaar) receives any amount in payment of the Parallel Debt Foreign Obligations, the Collateral Agent shall distribute such amount among the Secured Parties in accordance with Section 2.18 and upon irrevocable (onaantastbaar) receipt of such amount, the Foreign Obligations shall be reduced by an amount equal to such amount in the manner as if such amount were received as a payment of the Foreign Obligations on the date of receipt by the Collateral Agent of such amount. (vii) To the extent the Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent irrevocably (onaantastbaar) receives any amount in payment of the Foreign Obligations, the Collateral Agent shall distribute such amount among the Secured Parties in accordance with Section 2.18 and upon irrevocable (onaantastbaar) receipt of such amount, the Parallel Debt Foreign Obligations shall be reduced by an amount equal to such amount in the manner as if such amount were received as a payment of the Parallel Debt Foreign Obligations on the date of receipt by the Secured Party of such amount. (viii) For the purpose of any Foreign Security Document governed by Dutch law, the Collateral Agent acts in its own name and on behalf of itself but for the benefit of the Secured Parties and any security right granted to the Collateral Agent to secure the Parallel Debt Foreign Obligations is granted to the Collateral Agent in its capacity of sole creditor of the Parallel Debt Foreign Obligations.
