2. | PURPOSE OF TRANSFER AND ASSIGNMENT | |
The transfer of title and assignment hereunder is constituted in order to secure the prompt and complete satisfaction of any and all Obligations.

3. | ASSIGNMENT-TRANSFER | |
3.1 | The Transferor hereby assigns and transfers to the Collateral Agent in its capacity as Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties the Collateral, assigns and transfers all present and future rights in relation to the Collateral, including but not limited to all present and future rights arising from the granting of Licences including all collateral and ancillary rights (including but not limited to, Gestaltungs- und Nebenrechte and akzessorische Sicherheiten) to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to (including by way of analogy) Section 401 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch). In case of security rights and ancillary rights pertaining to the Collateral and which are not assigned and transferred to the Collateral Agent by operation of law pursuant to Section 401 of the German Civil Code (the “Independent Ancillary Rights”), the Collateral Agent may request at any time and at its sole discretion (upon instructions in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) the assignment and/or transfer (as the case may be) of such Independent Ancillary Rights), to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. | |
3.2 | Upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent (taking into account the costs to the Transferor and the benefit of the Secured Parties) and subject to the terms of the Principal Finance Documents, the Transferor undertakes to take all actions in the form reasonably required by the Collateral Agent (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) at the Transferors own costs to ensure as far as it is possible that the assignment and transfer under this Agreement with respect to Other Jurisdiction Collateral is valid and perfected in each Other Jurisdiction as the Collateral Agent has so reasonably requested and that the Collateral Agent will have a valid security interest under the laws of such Other Jurisdiction, provided that the Transferor shall not be required to take such requested action if it would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Transferor to conduct its operations and business or if such action is not in accordance with the terms of the Principal Finance Documents and provided further that the Transferor shall not be required to comply with any such request by the Collateral Agent prior to the date which falls 90 days after the date of this Agreement. Upon reasonable request of the Collateral Agent (taking into account the costs to the Transferor and the benefit of the Secured Parties), the Transferor shall without undue delay provide the Collateral Agent with copies of all registrations. The Transferor hereby irrevocably authorises the Collateral Agent to take all actions and to make all declarations on its behalf that are necessary or reasonable (taking into account the costs to the Transferor and the benefit of the Secured Parties) under the applicable laws in the Other Jurisdictions to ensure the validity of the assignment and transfer of the Other Jurisdiction Collateral, unless |
- 9 -
otherwise agreed pursuant to the Principal Finance Documents. This authority encompasses, in particular, the registration of the assignment and transfer and the assignment or transfer of an Obligation with the intellectual property registers in all Other Jurisdictions with respect to Other Jurisdiction Collateral in which a respective registration is possible provided that the Collateral Agent may only make use of this authorisation if the Transferor has not complied with the obligations imposed on the Transferor in this Clause 3.2 or Clause 7 or the actions requested by the Collateral Agent in accordance with this Clause 3.2 (subject to the terms of the Principal Finance Documents) within 10 business days of being notified of such failure (with a copy of such notice being sent to the Grantors’ Agent) and being requested to comply or if an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing. The Collateral Agent shall not be obliged to exercise the powers conferred upon it by the Transferor under this Clause 3.2 unless and until it shall have been (i) instructed to do so in accordance with the Principal Finance Documents and (ii) indemnified and/or secured and/or prefunded to its satisfaction. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Clause 3.2 shall be construed to require the Transferor to enter into further security documents governed by the laws of any Other Jurisdiction (unless required under any other Credit Document or otherwise agreed between the Transferor and the Collateral Agent) unless there is a corresponding requirement under the Principal Finance Documents. | ||
For the avoidance of doubt, in this Clause 3.2 “costs” includes, but is not limited to, income tax cost, registration taxes payable on the creation or for the continuance of the security created hereunder, stamp duties, out-of-pocket expenses, and other fees and expenses directly incurred by the Transferor or any of its direct or indirect owners, subsidiaries or affiliates. | ||
3.3 | The Transferor hereby assigns to the Collateral Agent in its capacity as Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties the Licence Receivables. | |
3.4 | The Collateral Agent hereby accepts the assignment and transfer of the Collateral the assignment of the Licence Receivables pursuant to Clause 3.1. | |
3.5 | Title to the present Collateral shall pass over to the Collateral Agent on execution of this Agreement. Title to the future Collateral shall pass over to the Collateral Agent when it comes into existence. | |

3.8 | Until realisation of the Collateral pursuant to Clause 10.1, the Transferor shall be entitled to use and to exercise all rights and powers in respect of the Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents. To this effect the Collateral Agent grants an exclusive revocable licence to the Transferor for using the Collateral without any royalties being due therefore, provided that such licence may only be revoked if an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing. The Transferor shall |
- 10 -
be entitled to grant sublicences without prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and shall inform the Collateral Agent without undue delay of such sublicensing (other than in relation to any sub-licensing to the Grantors’ Agent or any of its affiliates). The Transferor shall further be entitled to apply for the registration of any Collateral in its own name. Upon the occurrence of an Enforcement Event and whilst it is continuing, the Collateral Agent may terminate the exclusive licence granted pursuant to this Clause 3.8 with immediate effect and will substitute the Transferor as grantor of any sublicences. Moreover, all licences the Transferor granted to a member of the Group can be terminated by the Collateral Agent upon the occurrence of an Enforcement Event and whilst it is continuing. | ||
4. | DOCUMENTATION ON THE COLLATERAL | |
Upon reasonable request, the Transferor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent up-to-date excerpts of the relevant registers or application confirmations concerning present and future registrations of the Collateral with the competent authorities provided, however, that while no Enforcement Event is continuing such request shall not be made more than once a year and only in relation to the Specified Collateral and be limited to those excerpts and applications the Collateral Agent has not already received, as well as copies of any and all documents relating to court proceedings or any other challenge of the validity or use of the Specified Collateral and correspondence with other owners of intellectual property regarding the validity and scope of the Specified Collateral. | ||

5.4 | The Transferor shall procure in accordance with the terms of the Principal Finance Documents, that to the extent further steps are necessary to comply with any requirement under the Principal Finance Documents to create or perfect security over any Other Jurisdiction Collateral set out in any list delivered pursuant to Clause 5.1 such steps are taken in accordance with the Principal Finance Documents. | |

9.1 | At all times while no Enforcement Event is continuing, the Transferor is authorised by the Collateral Agent to collect the Licence Receivables (ermächtigt zur Einziehung) in its own name and for its own account and to dispose of, and exercise any rights and claims in relation to, the Licence Receivables in accordance with the terms of the Principal Finance Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the disposal of the Licence Receivables). The Collateral Agent may revoke the Authorisation at any time if an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing. | |
10. | RIGHT OF ENFORCEMENT | |
10.1 | If (i) an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing and (ii) any of the Obligations has become due and payable, then the Collateral Agent is entitled to enforce this Agreement and realise the Collateral. | |
10.2 | The Collateral Agent will notify the Transferor in writing at least 5 (five) business days prior to the enforcement of the security granted hereunder. No such notice shall be required if (i) the Transferor has generally ceased to make payments, (ii) an application for the institution of insolvency proceedings is filed by or against the Transferor or (iii) the Collateral Agent has reasonable grounds to believe that observance of the notice period would adversely affect the legitimate interests (berechtigte Interessen) of the Collateral Agent. | |
10.3 | In the case of a sale, the Transferor shall promptly provide the Collateral Agent with all documents of title and other documents relating to the Collateral and/or the Licence Receivables. | |
10.4 | At any time while an enforcement event as described in sub-clause 10.1 is continuing, the Collateral Agent has the right to sell all or part of the Collateral by way of private sale to the extent necessary to satisfy any outstanding Obligations, it being understood |
- 13 -
that the Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of such realisation towards the Obligations in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. | ||
10.5 | While being entitled to enforce the security interest created hereunder in accordance with Clause 10.1 above the Collateral Agent is entitled to revoke the Authorisation, notify the debtors, enforce its rights under this Agreement and arrange for the collection of the Licence Receivables in its own name and for its own account or for the sale of the Licence Receivables. The Collateral Agent may request the Transferor to collect the Licence Receivables for and on behalf of the Collateral Agent and in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instruction. The Transferor shall promptly comply with such request. | |
10.6 | If the Collateral Agent collects any Licence Receivables pursuant to sub-Clause 10.410.5 hereof, it may take all measures and enter into all agreements with such debtors which it considers to be expedient. In particular, the Collateral Agent may grant discounts or indulgence to any debtors and/or enter into settlement agreements in relation to existing Licence Receivables at any time. | |
10.7 | While being entitled to enforce the security interest created hereunder in accordance with Clause 10.1 above the Collateral Agent may request the Transferor to sell the Collateral for and on its behalf and the Transferor shall promptly comply with such request. | |
10.8 | If the Collateral Agent sells the Collateral pursuant to this Clause 8 it may take all measures and enter into all agreements which it commercially reasonably considers to be expedient in connection therewith. | |
10.9 | Notwithstanding sub-Clause 10.4, the Collateral Agent may, following the occurrence of an Enforcement Event and whilst it is continuing, in its sole discretion, determine which of several security interests (created under this or other security agreements) shall be used to satisfy the Obligations. | |
10.10 | Given the non-accessory nature of this security, the Transferor has no defences of revocation and set-off and no defences based on defences any Grantor might have against the Obligations. The Collateral Agent is not required to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security before enforcing the security created hereunder. | |
10.11 | The Transferor shall not at any time before, on or after an enforcement of the security created hereunder and as a result of the Transferor entering into this Agreement, be entitled to demand indemnification or compensation from any other Grantor or to assign any of these claims. | |
11. | LIMITATIONS ON ENFORCEMENT | |
11.1 | The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to enforce the rights created under this Agreement and realise the Collateral and/or the Licence Receivables without limitation in respect of: |
(a) | all and any amounts which are owed under the Credit Documents by the Transferor itself or by any of its subsidiaries; and |
- 14 -
(b) | all and any amounts which correspond to funds that have been borrowed or otherwise raised under the Credit Documents in each case to the extent borrowed, on-lent or otherwise passed on to, or issued for the benefit of, the Transferor or any of its 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”). | ||
11.2 | Besides an enforcement in respect of the Unlimited Enforcement Amount applicable to the Transferor pursuant to Clause 11.1 above, the Collateral Agent shall not be entitled to enforce this Agreement and realise the Collateral and/or the Licence Receivables if and to the extent that: |
(a) | the rights created hereunder secure the obligations of a Grantor which is (x) a shareholder of the Transferor 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 Transferor (other than the Transferor and its subsidiaries); and | ||
(b) | the enforcement would have the effect of (x) reducing the Transferor’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 the Transferor’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 Agent. |
11.3 | The Net Assets shall be calculated as an amount equal to the sum of the values of the Transferor’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 the Transferor’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 the Transferor’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig) shall be taken into account with its market value; | ||
(b) | obligations under loans provided to the Transferor 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 the Transferor; and |
- 15 -
(c) | obligations under loans or other contractual liabilities incurred by the Transferor 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 the Transferor in the preparation of its most recent annual balance sheet (Jahresbilanz). | ||
It being understood that the assets of the Transferor will be assessed at liquidation values (Liquidationswerte) if the managing directors of the Transferor 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 the Transferor can carry on as a going concern (positive Fortführungsprognose), in particular when the security created under this Agreement is enforced. | ||
11.4 | The limitations set out in Clause 11.2 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 its rights under this Agreement and realise the Collateral and/or the Licence Receivables (the “Notice”), the Transferor has confirmed in writing to the Collateral Agent (x) to what extent such rights are up-stream or cross-stream security as described in Clause 11.2 above and (y) which amount of such up-stream or cross-stream security cannot be enforced as it would cause the Net Assets of the Transferor to fall below its stated share capital (taking into account the adjustments set out in Clause 11.3 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 the Transferor’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 the Transferor 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 the Transferor’s Net Assets (the “Balance Sheet”). The Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with the principles set out in Clause 11.3 above, provided that the final sentence of Clause 11.3 above shall not apply unless the Determining Auditors have in an independent assessment determined that the assets of the Transferor should be evaluated at liquidation values (Liquidationswerte) in accordance with 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 11.3 above. If the Transferor fails to deliver a Balance Sheet within the aforementioned time period, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to enforce the rights created under this Agreement irrespective of the limitations set out in Clause 11.2 above. |
- 16 -
11.5 | If the Collateral Agent disagrees with the Balance Sheet, it shall be entitled to enforce the rights created under this Agreement and realise the Collateral and the Licence Receivables up to the amount which, according to the Balance Sheet, can be enforced in compliance with the limitations set out in Clause 11.2 above. In relation to any additional amounts for which the Transferor is liable under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to further pursue their claims (if any) and the Transferor shall be entitled to prove that this amount is necessary for maintaining its stated share capital (calculated as of the date the Collateral Agent has given notice of its intention to enforce the security created under this Agreement). | |
11.6 | No reduction of the amount enforceable under this Clause 11 will prejudice the right of the Collateral Agent to continue enforcing the rights created under this Agreement (subject always to the operation of the limitations set out above at the time of such enforcement) until full satisfaction to the claims secured. | |
12. | REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES | |
The Transferor hereby represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent by way of an independent guarantee (selbständiges Garantieversprechen) that each of Schedule 2 to Schedule 5 hereof contain all Collateral of the Transferor with a value of EUR 1,000,000 or more (as such value is determined by the Transferor in accordance with the Principal Finance Documents). The details set out in Schedule 2 to Schedule 5 hereof are correct and complete in all material respects in relation to such Collateral as of the date hereof. | ||
13. | UNDERTAKINGS | |
Unless otherwise permitted by the Principal Finance Documents, during the term of this Agreement, the Transferor undertakes to the Collateral Agent: | ||
13.1 | to inform the Collateral Agent in writing promptly of any attachments (Pfändung) of which it becomes aware in respect of any and all of the Specified Collateral and/or the Licence Receivables. In the event of an attachment, the Transferor undertakes to forward to the Collateral Agent without undue delay a copy of the attachment order (Pfändungsbeschluss), the garnishee order (Überweisungsbeschluss) and all other documents necessary for a defence against the attachment. The Transferor shall inform the attaching creditor without undue delay about the Collateral Agent’s security interests; | |
13.2 | not to dispute the validity of the Specified Collateral or of new applications for registration with regard to the Specified Collateral; | |
13.3 | if failure to do the following would have a material adverse effect, to make all statements and take all actions at its own expense which are reasonably required in order to maintain the registration of the Specified Collateral in the ordinary course of business, including the payment of renewal fees, and have the Specified Collateral registered if not registered so far and necessary to maintain the legal title therein and to deliver to the Collateral Agent at its reasonable request copies of the respective documents evidencing such actions; |
- 17 -
13.4 | to inform the Collateral Agent without undue delay if third parties materially dispute or challenge the validity of any of the Specified Collateral or materially allege that any of the Specified Collateral violates the rights of third parties, and assert all claims and to litigate if this is required for the defence against such claims. Following the occurrence of an Enforcement Event and whilst it is continuing, the Transferor agrees that the Collateral Agent may take over any judicial or extra judicial proceedings upon reasonable request and at the Transferor’s expense; and | |
13.5 | subject to Clause 9 of this Agreement, to refrain from any acts or omissions, the purpose or effect of which is or would be the material dilution of the value of the Licence Receivables or the Licence Receivables ceasing to be assignable or subjecting any Licence Receivable to any law other than German law other than in the Transferor’s ordinary course of business; | |
13.6 | to inform the Collateral Agent without undue delay, if third parties infringe any of the Specified Collateral in a way which would have a material adverse effect on the Collateral Agent’s and/or the Secured Parties’ rights relating to the Specified Collateral. The Transferor shall, acting commercially reasonably and considering the legitimate interest of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, prosecute such infringement in its own name and at its own expense. All compensation claims becoming due after the date hereof become part of the Specified Collateral. Following the occurrence of an Enforcement Event and whilst it is continuing the Collateral Agent and/or the Secured Parties may take over any judicial or extra judicial proceedings upon request and at the Transferor’s expense. | |
14. | BOOKKEEPING AND DATA-PROCESSING | |
14.1 | If proof, documents or data which are necessary to identify the Collateral and/or the Licence Receivables have been handed over by the Transferor to a third party (in particular a bookkeeping firm or a tax consultant) or are managed by a third party the Transferor hereby assigns to the Collateral Agent, who hereby accepts such assignment, its right to demand from such third party the return of the proof and documents and the right to obtain information as to the registration details of the Collateral. The Collateral Agent will only make use of such right if an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing. Upon the occurrence of an Enforcement Event and whilst it is continuing, the Transferor hereby undertakes to instruct the third party to provide the Collateral Agent upon its demand with such information and documents which are necessary to perfect and/or enforce the security created hereby. | |
14.2 | If details concerning the Collateral and/or the Licence Receivables or any part thereof have been stored in an electronic data-processing system, then, if an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing, the Transferor shall allow the Collateral Agent access to the computer, including the peripheral equipment and all data concerning the Collateral or such part thereof. Moreover, software operators shall be made available insofar as so required, and any assistance required shall be provided to the Collateral Agent. If a third party handles the electronic processing of data, the Transferor hereby assigns to the extent legally possible to the Collateral Agent, who hereby accepts such assignment, all rights against such third party relating to these services, and instructs such third party to handle the processing of data for the Collateral Agent upon its demand as it did for the Transferor. The Collateral Agent |
- 18 -
shall only make use of such rights if an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing | ||
14.3 | At all times other than during the continuation of an Enforcement Event, the Collateral Agent authorises the Transferor to exercise the rights assigned to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Clause 14.1 and Clause 14.2 above. | |
15. | FURTHER ASSURANCE | |
Insofar as additional declarations or actions are necessary for the transfer of title of any part of the Specified Collateral the Transferor shall subject to the terms of the Principal Finance Documents, at the Collateral Agent’s request, acting reasonably, make such declarations or undertake such actions; it being understood that the Collateral Agent may only demand registration of the transfer of title if an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing, unless the registration is necessary to perfect the assignment and transfer of the Specified Collateral, in which case the Collateral Agent is entitled to be registered before the occurrence of an Enforcement Event which is continuing. | ||
16. | DELEGATION | |
The Collateral Agent shall have full power to delegate (either generally or specifically) the powers, authorities and discretions conferred on it by this Agreement (including the power of attorney in Clause 3.2) on such terms and conditions as it shall see fit. The Collateral Agent shall only remain liable for diligently selecting and providing initial instructions to such delegate. | ||
17. | INDEMNITY | |
To the extent set out in the First Lien Intercreditor Credit Agreement, the Transferor shall, notwithstanding any release or discharge of all or any part of the security, indemnify the Collateral Agent, its agents, its attorneys and any delegate against any action, proceeding, claims, losses, liabilities, damages, expenses, demands, taxes, losses and costs which it may sustain as a consequence of any breach by the Transferor of the provisions of this Agreement, the exercise or purported exercise of any of the rights and powers conferred on them by this Agreement or otherwise relating to the Collateral. | ||
18. | NO LIABILITY | |
Except to the extent provided in the Principal Finance Documents, none of the Collateral Agent, its nominee(s) or agent(s) or delegate(s) shall be liable by reason of (a) taking any action permitted by this Agreement or (b) any neglect or default in connection with the assets and rights subject to the security interest created hereunder, save in respect of any loss or damage which is suffered as a result of wilful misconduct (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (xxxxx Fahrlässigkeit) by the Collateral Agent, its nominee(s) or agent(s) or delegate(s), or (c) the enforcement or realisation of all or any part of the security interest created hereunder. |
- 19 -
19. | DURATION AND INDEPENDENCE | |
19.1 | This Agreement shall create a continuing security and no change, amendment, or supplement whatsoever in the Credit Documents or in any document or agreement relating to any of the Credit Documents shall affect the validity or the scope of this Agreement nor the obligations, which are imposed on the Transferor pursuant to it. | |
19.2 | This Agreement is independent from any other security or guarantee which may have been or will be given to the Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent. None of such other security shall prejudice, or shall be prejudiced by, or shall be merged in any way with, this Agreement. | |
19.3 | Waiving Section 418 of the German Civil Code (applied by analogy), the Transferor hereby agrees that the security created hereunder shall not be affected by any transfer or assumption of the Obligations to, or by, any third party. | |
20. | RELEASE (SICHERHEITENFREIGABE) | |
20.1 | Upon complete and irrevocable satisfaction of the Obligations, the Collateral Agent (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) will as soon as reasonably practicable at the cost and expense of the Transferor retransfer and re-assign the Collateral and/or the Licence Receivables and all other rights and claims assigned or transferred to it pursuant to this Agreement to the Transferor and surrender the excess proceeds, if any, resulting from any sale of the Collateral or the realisation of the Licence Receivables. The Collateral Agent will, however, transfer any of the Collateral and/or assign the Licence Receivables to a third person if so required by law. | |
20.2 | At any time when the total value of the aggregate security granted by the Transferor and the other Grantors to secure the Obligations (the “Security”) which can be expected to be realised in the event of an enforcement of the Security (realisierbarer Xxxx) exceeds 110% of the Obligations (the “Limit”), the Collateral Agent shall on demand of the Transferor release such part of the Security (Sicherheitenfreigabe) as the Collateral Agent may in its reasonable discretion (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) determine so as to reduce the realisable value of the Security to the Limit. | |
20.3 | The Collateral Agent (as instructed in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) will as soon as reasonably practicable declare in writing the release of the security created hereunder and retransfer and reassign the Collateral and the Licence Receivables to the Transferor in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the Intercreditor Arrangements. | |
21. | PARTIAL INVALIDITY, WAIVER | |
21.1 | If at any time, any one or more of the provisions hereof is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, such provision shall as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent necessary without affecting or impairing the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or of such provisions in any other jurisdiction. The invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be deemed replaced with a valid, legal or enforceable provision which |
- 20 -
comes as close as possible to the original intent of the parties and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision. Should a gap (Regelungslücke) become evident in this Agreement, such gap shall, without affecting or impairing the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, be deemed to be filled in with such provision as comes as close as possible to the original intent of the parties. | ||
21.2 | No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. | |
22. | AMENDMENTS | |
Changes and amendments to this Agreement including this Clause 22 shall be made in writing. | ||
