Secured Obligations (other than any contingent obligations not then due and payable) have been irrevocably paid and discharged in full in accordance with the terms of the Facility Agreement or the other Finance Documents and no further Secured
Obligations are capable of arising, and for that purpose the Lender shall immediately take all actions to terminate the Control Agreement.
Upon request by the Security Provider, the Lender shall provide the Security Provider with a certificate confirming full satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.
Any costs in relation to the release of the Securities and Related Rights shall be borne by the Security Provider.
12/16
The Lender will not, and shall not be deemed to have made, any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, with respect to any Securities and Related Rights released.

Where any discharge in respect of the Secured Obligations is made, in whole or in part, and any amount paid pursuant to any such discharge must be repaid, the Lender will have or continue to have a Secured Obligation
and, in case the Securities and Related Rights have been released from the Security Interest, the Security Provider shall undertake all actions that are necessary for the reinstatement of such Security Interest. In particular, the Security Provider
shall, if necessary for the perfection of the Security Interest, enter into an agreement with the Custodian which in form and content corresponds to the Control Agreement. Such reinstatement shall, to the extent required, include a reinstatement of
this Security Agreement and the Security Interest shall continue as if there had been no discharge.
11. |
Indemnity
|
The Security Provider shall hold any of the Lender harmless of, and indemnify each Lender against, any losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses (including legal fees) which any of the Lender may suffer in connection
with (i) a breach of any representation, warranty or undertaking contained in this Security Agreement, and|or (ii) the enforcement of the Security Interest, unless the respective Lender acts in willful misconduct (Absicht)
or gross negligence (xxxxx Fahrlässigkeit).
The Parties acknowledge that the Lender shall be entitled to indemnification in accordance with the terms of the Facility Agreement, in particular, clause 14 (Other indemnities)
of the Facility Agreement. There shall be no additional indemnification obligations of the Security Provider under this Agreement.
The Lender shall not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by the Security Provider save in respect of such loss or damage which is suffered as a result of the willful misconduct (Absicht)
or gross negligence (xxxxx Fahrlässigkeit) of the Lender or any other Lender. In such case, only the respective Party acting in willful misconduct (Absicht) or gross
negligence (xxxxx Fahrlässigkeit) shall be liable.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any liability of each of the Lender or any other Lender towards the Security Provider under this Security Agreement shall not be joint and several (nicht solidarisch) but separate and independent.
12. |
Bank Secrecy Waiver
|
The Security Provider explicitly authorizes the Lender to request from the Custodian and the Custodian to provide the Lender and|or the other Lender with, any data regarding the Securities Account, the Securities and
the Related Rights and the Security Provider hereby explicitly waives its banking secrecy and data protection rights in this regard.
13/16
13. |
Further Assurances by the Security Provider
