“The restrictions in this Section 2.3 shall apply only to any Guaranty granted by a Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Switzerland. To the extent that (i) each Guaranteeing Subsidiary becomes,
under Article X of the Indenture or under any other provision of any Notes Document, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Purchase Agreement (together the “Transaction Document”), liable for Guaranteed Obligations of its Affiliates (other than those of its direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries) or otherwise obliged to grant economic benefits to its Affiliates (other than its direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries), including, for the avoidance of doubt, any joint liability and/or restrictions of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary’s rights of set-off and/or subrogation or its duties to subordinate or waive claims and (ii) complying with such obligations would constitute a repayment of capital (Einlagerückgewähr), a violation of the legally protected reserves (gesetzlich geschützte Reserven) or the payment of a (constructive) dividend (Gewinnausschüttung) by such Guaranteeing Subsidiary or would otherwise be restricted under Swiss corporate law then applicable (the “Restricted Obligations”), the aggregate liability of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary for Restricted Obligations shall be limited to the amount permitted to be paid under applicable law, provided that such limitation shall not discharge such Guaranteeing Subsidiary from its obligations in excess thereof, but merely postpone the performance date therefore until such times as performance is again permitted notwithstanding such limitation. Any and all indemnities and guarantees contained in the Transaction Documents shall be construed in a manner consistent with the provisos herein contained.”
SECTION 3.2. Amendment of Section 2.4. Section 2.4 of the Second Supplemental Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, and in particular Article X, a Guarantor (a “German Guarantor”) incorporated under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany as a limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung) may refuse to make any payments under the Guaranty to the extent any such payment would result in a violation of Sections 30 et seq. or Section 63 sentence 3 of German Limited Liability Companies Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung) or Section 826 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) or would otherwise lead to personal liability of the managing directors (Geschäftsführer) of the German Guarantor. Each German Guarantor covenants to use all commercially reasonable efforts to maximize the amount payable under the Guarantee in accordance with applicable German law.”
SECTION 3.3. Amendment of Section 2.5. Section 2.5(b) of the Second Supplemental Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or the Notes, the obligations of a Belgian Guarantor under the Indenture in respect of its Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts guaranteed by it under the Credit Agreement shall be limited to the aggregate maximum amount (if any) permitted under applicable Belgian law.”
SECTION 3.4. Amendment of Section 2.9. Section 2.9(b) of the Second Supplemental Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or the Notes, the obligations of a Luxembourg Guarantor under the Indenture in respect of its Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts guaranteed by it under the Credit Agreement shall be limited to the aggregate maximum amount (if any) permitted under applicable Luxembourg law.”
