Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Pledgor that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns. This Italian Supplement shall become effective once that the Pledgor shall have received from the Collateral Agent an acceptance (executed cover letter from the Collateral Agent and an initialed copy of this Italian Supplement) executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent and each of the Secured Parties as acceptance of the Pledgor's proposal (executed cover letter from the Pledgor and an initialed copy of this Italian Supplement) to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties to enter into this Italian Supplement. Thereafter, this Italian Supplement shall be binding upon the Pledgor, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Pledgor, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, their respective successors and assigns, except that the Pledgor shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein or in the Italian Collateral (and any such attempted assignment shall be void), except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The executed proposal or acceptance referred to above received by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed acceptance or proposal.

The Secured Parties shall have the right to transfer or otherwise assign the rights and obligations arising out of this Agreement to the benefit of the assignee, subject to the procedure set forth below and the relevant provisions of the Investor Revolving Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents, it being understood that such rights and obligations shall be transferred or assigned only in conjunction with the transfer or assignment of the rights granted pursuant to, and the obligations arising out from the Investor Revolving Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents. The Pledgor hereby expressly and irrevocably consents to such transfer or assignment by any of the Secured Parties. It is understood that the extension of the Pledge in favor of the assignee will have the same rank (and shall be subject to the same Liens) as the Pledge in favor of the Secured Party effecting the transfer or assignment. Upon any assignment by a Secured Party of its interest under an Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to the Investor Revolving Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent, acting in the name and on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall ensure that the annotations referred to in Section 2 above are duly made and that the relevant formalities are complied with in accordance with mandatory requirements of Italian law.

In the event of a transfer or an assignment by any of the Secured Parties of its rights and obligations arising out of this Agreement:

(i) the Collateral Agent, in such capacity and in the name and on behalf of the Pledgor, shall cause the Italian Issuer to annotate the transfer of the Pledge on the Certificate (and on the certificates representing

11 of 31

New Shares, if any), in accordance with Italian law;

(ii) immediately after the completion of the annotation referred to in (i) above, the Collateral Agent, in such capacity and in the name and on behalf of the Pledgor, shall cause the Italian Issuer to annotate the Pledge in the Shareholders' Book, in accordance with Italian law;

(iii) immediately after the completion of the annotation referred to in (ii), the Collateral Agent, in such capacity and in the name and on behalf of the Pledgor, shall cause the Italian Issuer to deliver to the Collateral Agent a certified copy of the pages of the Shareholders' Book evidencing the above mentioned annotation; and

(iv) the Collateral Agent, after completion of the procedure set forth above, shall continue to act as a third party custodian of the Shares (and of New Shares, if any) also to the benefit of the successors or assigns of such Secured Party."

SECTION 18 Survival of Agreement; Severability

"SECTION 18 Survival of Agreement; Severabilit

(a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Pledgor herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and shall survive the making of the Loans by the Lenders regardless of any investigation made by the Secured Parties or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Investor Revolver Obligation remains unpaid and as long as the Commitments have not been terminated.

(b) In the event any of the provisions in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). In the event that in any jurisdiction the subordination provisions in this Italian Supplement should be held invalid, illegal of unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected in any manner or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions."
