(b) all and any amounts which correspond to funds that have been borrowed or otherwise raised under the Principal Finance Documents, in each case to the extent borrowed, on-lent or otherwise passed on to, or issued for the benefit of, SIG Beverages Germany, any of the Company or any of their subsidiaries, or for the benefit of any of their creditors and in each case not repaid and outstanding from time to time

(in aggregate, the “Unlimited Enforcement Amount”).

9.2 Besides an application of proceeds from an enforcement of the Pledges towards satisfaction of the Secured Obligations in respect of the Unlimited Enforcement Amount pursuant to Clause 9.1 above, the Collateral Agent shall not be entitled to apply proceeds of an enforcement of the SIG Beverages Germany Quotas towards satisfaction of the Secured Obligations but shall return to the SIG Beverages Germany proceeds of an enforcement of the SIG Beverages Germany Quotas if and to the extent that:

(a) the SIG Beverages Germany Quotas secure the obligations of a Grantor which is (x) a shareholder of the SIG Beverages Germany or (y) an affiliated company (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of section 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) of a shareholder of the SIG Beverages Germany (other than the SIG Beverages Germany and its subsidiaries); and

(b) the application of proceeds, of an enforcement of the SIG Beverages Germany towards the Secured Obligations would have the effect of (x) reducing the SIG Beverages Germany’s net assets (Reinvermögen) (the “Net Assets”) to an amount of less than its stated share capital (Stammkapital) or, if the Net Assets are already an amount of less than its stated share capital, of causing such amount to be further reduced and (y) would thereby affect the assets required for the obligatory preservation of SIG Beverages Germany’s stated share capital (Stammkapital) according to section 30, 31 German Limited Liability Companies Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung) provided that the amount of the stated share capital to be taken into consideration shall be the amount registered in the commercial register at the date hereof, and any increase of the stated share capital registered after the date of this Agreement shall only be taken into account if such increase has been effected with the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.

9.3 The Net Assets shall be calculated as an amount equal to the sum of the values of SIG Beverages Germany’s assets (consisting of all assets which correspond to the items set forth in section 266 sub-section (2) A, B and C of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) less the aggregate amount of SIG Beverages Germany’s liabilities (consisting of all liabilities and

liability reserves which correspond to the items set forth in Section 266 sub-section (3) B, C and D of the German Commercial Code), save that:

(a) any asset that is shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is significantly lower than the market value of such asset and that is not necessary for SIG Beverages Germany’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig) shall be taken into account with its market value;

(b) obligations under loans provided to SIG Beverages Germany by any member of the Group or any other affiliated company shall not be taken into account as liabilities as far as such loans are subordinated by law or by contract at least to the claims of the unsubordinated creditors of SIG Beverages Germany; and

(c) obligations under loans or other contractual liabilities incurred by SIG Beverages Germany in violation of the provisions of the Credit Documents shall not be taken into account as liabilities.

The Net Assets shall be determined in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles applicable from time to time in Germany (Grundsätze ordnungsmäßiger Buchführung) and be based on the same principles that were applied by SIG Beverages Germany in the preparation of its most recent annual balance sheet (Jahresbilanz).

It being understood that the assets of SIG Beverages Germany will be assessed at liquidation values (Liquidationswerte) if the managing directors of SIG Beverages Germany, at the time they prepare the Management Determination (as defined below) are, due to factual or legal circumstances at that time, in their opinion not able to make a positive prognosis as to whether the business of SIG Beverages Germany can carry on as a going concern (positive Fortführungsprognose), in particular when the SIG Beverages Germany Quotas are enforced.

9.4 The limitations set out in Clause 9.2 above shall only apply if and to the extent that:

(a) without undue delay, but not later than within 5 business days, after receipt of a notification by the Collateral Agent of its intention to enforce any of the SIG Beverages Germany Quotas (the “Notice”), SIG Beverages Germany has confirmed in writing to the Collateral Agent (x) to what extent such SIG Beverages Germany Quotas are up-stream or cross-stream security as described in Clause 9.2 above and (y) which amount of proceeds of an enforcement of the SIG Beverages Germany Quotas attributable to the enforcement of such up-stream or cross-stream security cannot be applied towards satisfaction of the Secured Obligations but would have to be returned to SIG Beverages Germany as it would otherwise cause the Net Assets of SIG Beverages Germany to fall below its stated share capital (taking into account the adjustments set out in Clause 9.3 above) and such confirmation is supported by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (the “Management Determination”) and the Collateral Agent has not contested this and argued that no or a lesser amount would be necessary to maintain SIG Beverages Germany’s stated share capital; or

(b) within 20 business days from the date the Collateral Agent has contested the Management Determination, the Collateral Agent receives from SIG Beverages Germany an up to date balance sheet prepared by a firm of auditors of international standard and reputation (the “Determining Auditors”) which shows the value of SIG Beverages Germany’s Net Assets (the “Balance Sheet”). The Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with the principles set out in Clause 9.3 above, provided that the final sentence of Clause 9.3 above shall not apply unless the Determining Auditors have in an independent assessment determined that the assets of SIG Beverages Germany should be evaluated at liquidation values (Liquidationswerte) in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles applicable from time to time in Germany (Grundsätze ordnungsgemäßer Buchführung) and shall contain further information (in reasonable detail) relating to items to be adjusted pursuant to Clause 9.3 above. If SIG Beverages Germany fails to deliver a Balance Sheet within the aforementioned time period, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to apply the proceeds of an enforcement of the SIG Beverages Germany Quotas towards satisfaction of the Secured Obligations irrespective of the limitations set out in Clause 9.2 above.

9.5. If the Collateral Agent disagree with the Balance Sheet they shall be entitled to apply proceeds of an enforcement of the SIG Beverages Germany Quotas in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations up to an amount which, according to the Balance Sheet, can be applied in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations in compliance with the limitations set out in Clause 9.2 above. In relation to any additional amounts for which SIG Beverages Germany is liable under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to further pursue its claims (if any) and SIG Beverages Germany shall be entitled to prove that this amount is necessary for maintaining its stated share capital (calculated as of the date the Collateral Agent have given notice that they intend to enforce the security created under this Agreement).

9.6. No reduction of the amount enforceable or applicable towards satisfaction of the Secured Obligations under this Clause 9 will prejudice the right of the Collateral Agent to continue enforcing the SIG Beverages Germany Quotas (subject always to the operation of the limitations set out above at the time of such enforcement) until full satisfaction to the claims secured.

10. Remedies.

(a) Without prejudice to the foregoing provisions, if an Enforcement Event has occurred or is continuing (notwithstanding any notice or other communication to the contrary from any other Person), the Collateral Agent, or any of its respective agents, successors or assignees is hereby authorized and entitled to dispose of, collect, receive, appropriate and/or realize upon the Pledged Quotas (or any part thereof) and may forthwith sell, assign, give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Pledged Quotas or any part thereof at such price, in such order and upon such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate, subject to applicable law, irrespective of any prior or subsequent notice to the Grantors or to the Company, in accordance with the provisions set forth in Article 1,433 Item IV of the Brazilian Civil Code.
