21.	SWISS UP-STREAM AND CROSS-STREAM LIMITATION AND WITHHOLDING TAX

(a)

If and to the extent the Swiss Chargor has to fulfil any guarantee, obligation, liability, indemnity or undertaking under this Deed or any other Loan Document (a “Guarantee Liability”), or if any proceeds from the realization of a security over any asset granted by the Swiss Chargor under this Deed or any other Loan Document (for the purposes of this Clause 21, a “Charge”) are to be applied, for or in relation to any obligation, undertaking, indemnity or liability of any other Loan Party (other than the Swiss Chargor or any of its wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiaries) and if complying with a Guarantee Liability or permitting the application of the proceeds from the realization of any Charge would constitute a repayment of capital (Einlagerückgewähr), a violation of the legally protected reserves (gesetzlich geschützte Reserven) or the payment of a (constructive) dividend (verdeckte Gewinnausschüttung) by the Swiss Chargor or would otherwise be restricted under Swiss law and practice then applicable, the Swiss Chargor’s aggregate liability under any Guarantee Liability and/or the application of the proceeds from the realization of any Charge, as applicable, shall be limited to the amount of the Swiss Chargor’s freely disposable equity at the time when payment is claimed under a Guarantee Liability or, as applicable, the proceeds from the realization of a Charge are to be applied (the “Swiss Limitation”), whereby for the purpose of this Clause 21, freely disposable equity means the amount equal to the maximum amount in which the Swiss Chargor can make a dividend payment to its shareholders under applicable law at that point in time (the “Freely Disposable Amount”).

(b)

The Swiss Limitation shall only apply to the extent it is a requirement under applicable law at the time the Swiss Chargor is required to perform a Guarantee Liability or at the time when the proceeds from the realization of a Charge are to be applied. Such Swiss Limitation shall not free the Swiss Chargor from its Guarantee Liability or from permitting the application of the proceeds from the realization of a Charge, respectively, in excess of the Freely Disposable Amount, but merely postpone the fulfilment or application thereof until such times when the Swiss Chargor has again freely disposable equity and if and to the extent such freely disposable equity is available.

(c)

The Swiss Chargor shall take and cause to be taken all and any action, to the extent reasonably practical and possible, including, without limitation, (i) the passing of any quotaholders’ resolutions to approve any payment or other performance under this Deed or any other Loan Document, (ii) the provision of an audited interim balance sheet, and (iii) the provision of a confirmation from the auditors of the Swiss Chargor that a payment of the Swiss Chargor under the Loan Documents in an amount corresponding to the Freely Disposable Amount is in compliance with the provisions of Swiss corporate law which are aimed at protecting the share capital and legal reserves, in order to allow payment of amounts owed by the Swiss Chargor under the Loan Documents as well as the performance by the Swiss Chargor of other obligations under the Loan Documents.

(d)

If so required under applicable law (including tax treaties) at the time it is required to make a payment under a Guarantee Liability or, as applicable, the proceeds from the realization of a Charge are to be applied, the Swiss Chargor:

(i)

shall use its best efforts to ensure that such enforcement can be made without deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax, or with deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax at a reduced rate, by discharging the liability to such tax by notification pursuant to applicable law (including tax treaties) rather than payment of the tax;

(ii)

shall deduct the Swiss Withholding Tax at such rate (being 35 per cent. on the date hereof) as in force from time to time if the notification procedure pursuant to sub-paragraph (i) above does not apply; or shall deduct the Swiss Withholding Tax at the reduced rate resulting after discharge of part of such tax by notification if the notification procedure pursuant to sub-paragraph (i) applies for a part of the Swiss Withholding Tax only; and shall pay within the time allowed any such taxes deducted to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration; and

(iii)

shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent that such notification or, as the case may be, deduction has been made, and provide the Administrative Agent with evidence that such a notification of the Swiss Federal Tax Administration has been made or, as the case may be, such taxes deducted have been paid to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration.

(e)

In the case of a deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax, the Swiss Chargor shall ensure that any person that is entitled to a full or partial refund of the Swiss Withholding Tax deducted from such payment under this Deed, will, as soon as possible after such deduction:

(i)

request a refund of the Swiss Withholding Tax under applicable law (including tax treaties), and

(ii)

pay to the Administrative Agent upon receipt any amount so refunded.

The Administrative Agent shall co-operate with the Swiss Chargor to secure such refund.

(f)

If the fulfilment of a Guarantee Liability or the application of the proceeds from the realisation of any Charge is subject to the Swiss Limitation, then the Swiss Chargor shall, upon request of the Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by applicable law, revalue upward or, if the respective assets are not necessary for the Swiss Chargor’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig), realise any of its assets that are shown in its balance sheet with a book value that is significantly lower than the market value of such assets.
