3.2 If after the date of this Agreement a Dilution Event set out in clauses 3.1(a) to 3.1(h) occurs and the Beneficiary at the time of such a Dilution Event has not yet requested the payment of the Performance Participation Interest, then the number of shares or the equivalent number of ADS used to calculate the Performance Participation Interest shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares or the equivalent number of ADS set out in clause 2.7 or the equivalent number of shares in the Obligor as adjusted in accordance with clause 3 by the following respective adjustment ratios:

(a) In the event of a Dilution Event set out in clause 3.1(a), the adjustment ratio will be determined as follows:

Price of the shares after detachment of preferential subscription rights

+ Price of the preferential subscription rights

Price of the shares after detachment of preferential subscription rights

For the calculation of this ratio, the prices of the shares after detachment of the preferential subscription right and of the preferential subscription rights will be equal to the arithmetic mean of the opening prices of ADS or shares in the Obligor quoted on the New York Stock Exchange (or, in the absence of a listing on the New York Stock Exchange, on any other regulated or similar market on which the Obligor's ADS or shares or the preferential subscription rights are listed) on each trading day included in the subscription period.

(b) In the event of a Dilution Event set out in clause 3.1(b), the adjustment ratio will be determined as follows:

Number of shares included in share capital after the transaction

Number of shares included in share capital before the transaction

Price of the share ex-free distribution right

+ Price of the securities allotted with respect to each share

Price of the share ex-free distribution right

For purposes of the calculation of this ratio:

(i)

the price of the share ex-free distribution right will be determined on the basis of the volume-weighted average of the prices quoted on the New York Stock Exchange (or, in the absence of a listing on the New York Stock Exchange, on another regulated or similar market on which the ADS or shares of the Obligor ex-free distribution rights are listed) of the ADS or shares ex-free distribution rights during the first three trading days following the date on which the Obligor's ADS or shares are traded ex-free distribution right; and

(ii) if the securities distributed are listed or may be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (or, in the absence of a listing on the New York Stock Exchange, on another regulated or similar market), over the 10 trading days period beginning on the date on which the ADS or shares are traded ex-distribution, the value of the security or securities distributed per share will be equal to the volume-weighted average price of such securities on such market during the first three trading days (inclusive) in such period during which the securities are listed. In the absence of a listing for the securities during each of these three trading days, the value of the security or securities distributed per share will be determined by an internationally recognized expert chosen by the Beneficiary.

(d) In the event of a Dilution Event set out in clause 3.1(d), the adjustment ratio will be determined as follows:

Price of the shares after detachment of Warrants

+ Price of the Warrants

Price of the shares after detachment of the Warrants

For purposes of the calculation of this ratio:

(i) if the Warrants are listed on a stock exchange, the price of the shares after detachment of the Warrant will be equal to the volume-weighted average of (i) the ADS or share prices quoted on the New York Stock Exchange (or, in the absence of a listing on the New York Stock Exchange, on any other regulated or similar market on which the ADS or shares are listed) on each trading day during the subscription period, and (ii) (a) the sale price of the securities sold in connection with the offering, if they are fungible with the Obligor's existing shares, applying the volume of shares sold in the offer to the sale price, or (b) the Obligor's ADS or share price quoted on the New York Stock Exchange (or, in the absence of a listing on the New York Stock Exchange, on any other regulated or similar market on which the ADS shares and Warrants are both listed) on the date the sale price of the securities sold in the offering is set if such securities are not fungible with the Obligor's existing shares;

(ii) if the Warrants are not listed, the price of the shares after detachment of the Warrant will be determined by an internationally recognized independent expert chosen by the Beneficiary;

(iii) if the Warrants are listed on a stock exchange, the price of the Warrants will be determined on the basis of the volume-weighted average of (i) the prices of the Warrants quoted on the New York Stock Exchange (or, in the absence

of a listing on the New York Stock Exchange, on any other regulated or similar market on which the Warrants are listed) on each trading day during the subscription period, and (ii) the Warrant's implicit value resulting from the sale price of the shares sold in the offering - which is the difference (if positive), adjusted for the exercise ratio of the Warrants, between the sale price of securities sold in the offering and the subscription price of the securities - applying to this determined price the volume corresponding to Warrants exercised to allocate the securities sold in the offering; and

(iv) if the Warrants are not listed, the price of the Warrants will be determined by an internationally recognized independent expert chosen by the Beneficiary.

(e) In the event of a Dilution Event set out in clause 3.1(e), the adjustment ratio will be determined as follows:

Share price before distribution

Share price before distribution – Amount distributed per share or the
value of the securities or assets distributed per share

For purposes of the calculation of this ratio:

(i) the share price before the distribution will be equal to the daily volume-weighted average price of the Obligor's ADS or shares quoted on the New York Stock Exchange (or, in the absence of a listing on the New York Stock Exchange, on another regulated or similar market on which the ADS or shares are listed) during the three trading days preceding the date on which the Obligor's ADS or shares are traded ex-distribution;

(ii) if the distribution is carried out in-kind:

(A) in the event of a distribution of securities that are already listed on a regulated or similar market, the price of the distributed securities will be determined as provided above;

(B) in the event of a distribution of securities that are not yet listed on a regulated or similar market, the price of the distributed securities will be equal, if they are expected to be listed on a regulated or similar market within 10 trading days following the date on which the ADS or shares of the Obligor are listed ex-distribution, to the volume-weighted average price of the distributed securities quoted on such market for the first three trading days included in this period during which such securities are listed; and

(C) in other cases (distributed securities not listed on a regulated or similar market or listed for less than three trading days within the above-mentioned 10 day trading period, or in the case of a distribution of assets), the price of the securities or assets distributed per share will be determined by an internationally recognized independent expert chosen by the Beneficiary.

(f) In the event of a Dilution Event set out in clause 3.1(f), the Performance Participation Interest will be calculated based on the respective number of shares of the merged or new company or of the beneficiary companies of such spin-off.

The number of shares will be determined by multiplying the 195,790 shares or the equivalent number of ADS in the Obligor as adjusted in accordance with clause 3 prior to the commencement of the relevant transaction by the exchange ratio of the shares in the Obligor to the shares of the acquiring or new company or the beneficiary companies of a spin-off. These companies will be automatically substituted for the Obligor with respect to its obligations towards the Beneficiary.

(g) In the event of a Dilution Event set out in clause 3.1(g) or 3.1(h), the adjustment ratio will be determined as follows:

Share price x (1-Pc%)

Share price – Pc% x Repurchase price

For purposes of this calculation:

(A) "Share price" means the volume-weighted average price of the Obligor's ADS or shares quoted on the New York Stock Exchange (or, if the ADS or shares are not listed on the New York Stock Exchange, on another regulated or similar market on which the shares are listed) during the last three trading days preceding the repurchase (or the repurchase option);

(B) "Pc%" means the percentage of share capital repurchased; and

3.3 In the event of adjustments carried out in accordance with clauses 3.2(a) to 3.2(g), the adjustment ratio will be calculated to two decimal places by rounding to the nearest hundredth (with 0.005 being rounded upwards to the nearest hundredth, i.e., 0.01). Any subsequent adjustments will be carried out on the basis of such newly calculated and rounded adjustment ratio. However, because the Performance Participation Interest shall only be calculated based on a whole number of ADS or shares, fractional amounts will be rounded up or down to the next full ADS or share.

3.4 Other adjustments

In the event that the Obligor carries out transactions for which an adjustment was not made under clauses 3.2(a) to 3.2(g) above and where further legislation or regulation requires an adjustment in the event that subsequent legislation or regulations modify the adjustments referred to in clauses 3.2(a) to 3.2(g) above, the Obligor will proceed with the adjustment in accordance with any applicable legislative or regulatory requirements and standard US-market practices.

4. obligor's undertakings, covenants and representations

4.1 The representations and warranties set out in schedule 1 (Representations and Warranties) are, in each case, to the extent permissible under applicable law:

(a) made by the Obligor to the Beneficiary on the date of this Agreement; and

(b) deemed to be made by the Obligor to the Beneficiary by reference to the facts and circumstances then existing on each date the Obligor pays interest in respect of Tranche A in accordance with clause 4.1 (Interest) of the Finance Contract.

4.2 The Obligor makes the undertakings set out in schedule 1, Part A (General Undertakings) and schedule 1, Part B (Information). The undertakings in schedule 1, Part A (General Undertakings) and schedule 1, Part B (Information) remain in force from the date of this Agreement for so long as any amount is outstanding under this Agreement.

5. Event of Default under the Finance contract/Refinancing

For the avoidance of doubt, in case of a default under the Finance Contract or the Guarantee Agreement, this Agreement shall remain unaffected and such default per se shall not trigger or accelerate the payment of the Performance Participation Interest but shall only constitute a Prepayment Event. The same shall apply in case of a refinancing of a Loan outstanding under the Finance Contract.

6.1 Taxes, duties and fees

The Obligor shall pay all Taxes, duties, fees and other impositions of whatsoever nature, including stamp duty and registration fees, arising out of the creation, preparation, execution, implementation, perfection, registration, enforcement, amendment (including supplements and waivers) or termination of this Agreement or any related documentation, except for any transfer tax payable in connection with the Beneficiary transferring its rights and obligations from this Agreement or the Shares subscribed by the Beneficiary based on this Agreement.

Beneficiary under this Agreement or the financial income of the Beneficiary resulting from this Agreement is reduced or eliminated.

Without prejudice to any other rights of the Beneficiary under this Agreement or under any applicable law, the Obligor shall indemnify and hold the Beneficiary harmless from and against any loss incurred as a result of any payment or partial discharge that takes place in a manner other than as expressly set out in this Agreement.

The Beneficiary may set off any matured obligation due from the Obligor under this Agreement (to the extent beneficially owned by the Beneficiary) against any obligation (whether or not matured) owed by the Beneficiary to the Obligor regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation.

In the event that a transfer or assignment is not effective, the Parties shall cooperate and take any measures necessary or useful to achieve an economically comparable result. For the avoidance of doubt, the rights under this Agreement shall be transferable independently of any transfer of the Loan.

9.3 Except as explicitly provided for herein, no Party shall be entitled to a set-off or retention with respect to any rights or claims hereunder, unless the right or claim of such Party has been acknowledged in text form by the respective other Party or has been confirmed by final decision of a competent court or arbitration court.

9.4 Changes and amendments to this Agreement must be made in writing in order to be effective and binding between the Parties. This shall also apply to any amendment of this clause 9.4.

9.5 This Agreement and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it shall be governed by the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Unless otherwise specifically agreed by the Beneficiary in writing, the place of performance under this Agreement, shall be the seat of the Beneficiary.

9.6 The courts of Luxembourg City have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (including a dispute regarding the existence, validity or termination of this Agreement or the consequences of its nullity) or any non-contractual obligation arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

9.7 Clause 9.6 is for the benefit of the Beneficiary only. As a result and notwithstanding clause 9.6 above, it does not prevent the Beneficiary from taking proceedings relating to a dispute in any other courts with jurisdiction. To the extent allowed by law, the Beneficiary may take concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.

9.8 If a provision of this Agreement is or becomes invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall not be affected and in lieu of the invalid or unenforceable provision such valid and enforceable provision shall be deemed to be agreed that the Parties would have chosen upon entering into the Agreement in order to achieve the economic purpose of the provision to be replaced, had they recognised and thought of the invalidity or the unenforceability. The same shall apply mutatis mutandis with respect to any gap in this Agreement. If a provision of this Agreement is invalid because of its geographical, material, time or monetary scope, such provision shall not be invalid in total but shall be deemed to be agreed in the permissible scope, which is closest to the initially agreed scope.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed in six (6) originals in the English language.
