|
|

|
The
voting and other consensual rights and similar rights or powers attaching
to the Shares or any part thereof (the “Voting Rights”) are
hereby transferred by the Pledgor to the Pledgee under the condition
precedent (opschortende
voorwaarde) of (i) the occurrence of a Voting Event and (ii) the
termination and/or release of the Existing Rights of Pledge. By means of
execution of this Pledge Agreement the Pledgor also hereby adopts a

Rights. Until the occurrence of a Voting Event and subject to the
termination and/or release of the Existing Rights of Pledge, the Pledgor

Company or any of them, and to appoint new directors of the Company and
the Pledgor hereby undertakes to do all things and execute all documents

effectiveness of any such resignations, dismissals or
appointments.
|
|
3.3.
|
By
signing this Pledge Agreement, the Company confirms (and the other parties
agree) that a written notice from the Pledgee to the Company stating that
a Voting Event has occurred, shall be sufficient for the Company to accept
the Pledgee as being exclusively entitled to such rights and other powers
which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to this Section 3 upon the
occurrence of such a Voting Event and subject to the termination and/or
release of the Existing Rights of
Pledge.
|
|
3.4.
|
In
addition and without prejudice to the obligations of the Pledgor pursuant
to the Pledge Agreement, each of the Pledgor and the Company agrees to
notify the Pledgee immediately of any event or circumstance which could

and exercise of the Pledgee’s rights under or pursuant to this Pledge
Agreement, such as (without limitation) the filing of a petition for the
bankruptcy of the Pledgor, the filing of a petition for a moratorium of
payments by the Pledgor, attachment or garnishment of the Pledgor’s
assets, the termination of any one of the Pledgor’s commercial activities
or its dissolution.

|
3.5.
|
Upon
the occurrence of a Voting Event and subject to the termination and/or
release of the Existing Rights of Pledge, the Pledgee shall have the
rights which the law attributes to holders of depositary receipts, issued
with a company’s co-operation, of shares in its
capital.

|

3 with respect to the Voting Rights on the Present Shares also apply to
the Future Shares. In addition, the Pledgor and the Pledgee shall, if
reasonably practicable, at the time of or, if not practicable at such
time, as soon as reasonably practicable, after the acquisition of such
Future Shares, arrange that the attribution of the Voting Rights attaching
thereto shall be ratified if that is reasonably deemed necessary, in the
Pledgee's sole discretion, to enable the Pledgee to exercise such Voting
Rights upon the occurrence of the condition precedent as provided in
Section 3.1 of this Pledge Agreement. If such ratification is, at the
Pledgee's sole discretion, not obtained in time, the Pledgor shall fully
co-operate in the taking of such other reasonable measures relating to
such transfer of voting rights as are proposed by the
Pledgee.
|
|
4.1
|
The
authority to collect dividends, distributions from reserves, repayments of
capital and all other distributions and payments in any form, which, at
any time, during the term of the Right of Pledge, become payable on any

Section 3:246 of the NACC, subject to the termination and/or release of
the Existing Rights of Pledge.

become payable on any one or more of the Shares, subject to the
