Parallel Debt Provisions. (a) For the purpose of ensuring and preserving the validity and enforceability of any of the security rights created under the Dutch Pledge Agreement, the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Collateral Agent an amount equal to the aggregate amount payable by such Credit Party in respect of its Secured Obligations as they may exist from time to time (each undertaking, a “Parallel Debt”). Each Parallel Debt will be payable in the currency of the relevant Secured Obligation. Each Parallel Debt of a Credit Party will become due and payable as and when the relevant Secured Obligation of such Credit Party becomes due and payable. (b) Each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges that: (i) each Parallel Debt constitutes an undertaking, obligation and liability of the applicable Credit Party to the Collateral Agent which is separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the Secured Obligations; and (ii) each Parallel Debt represents the Collateral Agent’s own separate and independent claim to receive payment of that Parallel Debt from the relevant Credit Party, it being understood, in each case, that the amount which may become payable by a Credit Party as its Parallel Debt shall never exceed the total of the amounts which are payable under the Secured Obligations of such Credit Party. (c) For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties confirm that the claim of the Collateral Agent against a Credit Party in respect of a Parallel Debt and the claims of any one or more of the Secured Creditors against such Credit Party in respect of the Secured Obligations payable by such Credit Party to such Secured Creditors do not constitute common property (gemeenschap) within the meaning of article 3:166 of the Dutch Civil Code and that the provisions relating to common property shall not apply. If, however, it shall be held that the claim of the Collateral Agent and the claims of any one or more of the Secured Creditors do constitute common property and the provisions of common property do apply, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent agree that this Agreement shall constitute the administration agreement (beheersregeling) within the meaning of article 3:168 of the Dutch Civil Code. (d) To the extent the Collateral Agent irrevocably receives any amount in payment of the Parallel Debt of a Credit Party, the Collateral Agent shall distribute that amount among the Secured Creditors that are creditors in respect of the corresponding Secured Obligations of such Credit Party (subject, if applicable, to Section 9.17). Upon irrevocable receipt by a Secured Creditor of any amount so distributed to it (a “Received Amount”), the Secured Obligations of the applicable Credit Party to such Secured Creditor shall be reduced by an amount (a “Deductible Amount”) equal to the Received Amount in the manner as if the Deductible Amount were received as a payment of the Secured Obligations on the date of receipt by such Secured Creditor of the Received Amount.
