  (ii)

There are no governmental registration, filing or similar formalities required to ensure the validity and binding effect on and enforceability against any Company of the Agreements, and in the case of the Guarantor, including the Guarantee, and in case of the Dutch Issuer, the Notes.

 

  (d)

  (f)

 

  (i)

The validity and binding effect on and enforceability against each Company of the submission to the jurisdiction of the New York Court in each Agreement, including the Guarantee:

under Dutch private international law are likely governed by New York Law; and

  (b)

The recognition of New York Law as the governing law of each Agreement, including the Guarantee, and the Notes:

  (i)

 

  (A)

will not restrict the application of the overriding provisions of Dutch law; and

 

  (B)

will not prevent effect being given to the overriding provisions of the law of a jurisdiction with which the situation has a close connection;

(and for this purpose “overriding provisions” are provisions the respect for which is regarded as crucial by a jurisdiction for safeguarding its public interests to such an extent that they are applicable to any situation falling within their scope, irrespective of the law otherwise applicable to an agreement);

 

  (ii)

will not prevent the application of New York Law being refused if it is manifestly incompatible with Dutch public policy (ordre public); and

 

  (iii)

will not prevent regard being had to the law of the jurisdiction in which performance takes place in relation to the manner of performance and the steps to be taken in the event of defective performance.

 

  (c)

Any choice of New York Law as the law governing non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with an Agreement is recognised only according and subject to Regulation (EC) No. 864/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 July 2007 on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations (Rome II).

Enforcement in the Netherlands of each Agreement, including the Guarantee, and the Notes is subject to Dutch rules of civil procedure.

 

  (f)

The Sanction Act 1977 (Sanctiewet 1977) or international sanctions may affect whether (i) each Company’s entry into and performance of the Agreements, including the Guarantee, and, in the case of the Dutch Issuer, the Notes violates Dutch law, and (ii) the Agreements, including the Guarantee, and the Notes are valid, binding and enforceable.

  (g)

To the extent that Dutch law applies, any provision that the holder of a Note will be treated as its absolute owner may not be enforceable under all circumstances.

To the extent that Dutch law applies, title to a Note may not pass if (i) the Note is not delivered (geleverd) in accordance with Dutch law, (ii) the transferor does not have the power to pass on title (beschikkingsbevoegdheid) to the Note, or (iii) the transfer of title is not made pursuant to a valid title of transfer (geldige titel).

 

  (i)

 

  (i)

To the extent that the terms of the Indenture constitute general conditions within the meaning of article 6:231 BW, a holder of a Note may nullify (vernietigen) a provision therein if (i) the Dutch Issuer has not offered the holder a reasonable opportunity to examine the Indenture, or (ii) the provision, having regard to all relevant circumstances, is unreasonably onerous to the holder. A provision in general conditions as referred to in article 6:236 BW is deemed to be unreasonably onerous, irrespective of the circumstances, if the holder of a Note is a natural person not acting in the conduct of a profession or trade.

 

  (ii)

To the extent that the terms of the Guarantee are general conditions within the meaning of article 6:231 BW, paragraph 6(i)(i) applies accordingly in relation to each beneficiary of the Guarantee.

 

  (j)

If any Note has been signed on behalf of the Dutch Issuer (manually or in facsimile) by a person who on the signing date is, but ceases to be before the date of the Note and its authentication and issue, a duly authorised representative of the Dutch Issuer, enforcement of the Note in a Dutch court may require that the holder of the Note submit a copy of the Indenture.

 

  (k)

Any trust to which the 1985 Convention on the Law applicable to Trusts and their Recognition (the “Trust Convention”) applies, will be recognised subject to the Trust Convention. Any trust to which the Trust Convention does not apply may not be recognised.

 

  (l)

In proceedings in a Dutch court for the enforcement of any Agreement, including the Guarantee, and the Notes, the court may mitigate amounts due in respect of litigation and collection costs.

  (m)

If a legal act (rechtshandeling) performed by a Dutch legal entity (including (without limitation) an agreement pursuant to which it guarantees the performance of, or provides or agrees to provide security for, any of another person’s obligations and any other legal act having a similar effect) is not in the entity’s interest, the act may (i) exceed the entity’s corporate or other power, (ii) violate its articles of association, and (iii) be nullified by it if the other party or parties to the act knew or should have known without investigation that the act is not in the entity’s interest.

 

  (n)

To the extent Dutch law applies, a legal act (rechtshandeling) performed by a person (including an agreement pursuant to which it guarantees the performance of another person’s obligations, or provides or agrees to provide security for its or another person’s obligations and any other legal act having a similar effect) may be nullified by (i) any of its creditors, or (ii), in case of bankruptcy, its bankruptcy trustee, if (A) it performed the act without an obligation to do so (onverplicht), (B) the creditor concerned or, in case of its bankruptcy, any creditor was prejudiced as a consequence of the act, and (C) at the time the act was performed both it and (unless the act was for no consideration (om niet)) the party with or towards which it acted, knew or should have known that one or more of its creditors (existing or future) would be prejudiced. In addition, in the case of a person’s bankruptcy, its bankruptcy trustee may nullify that person’s performance of any due and payable obligation (opeisbare schuld) (including an obligation to provide security for its or another person’s obligations) if (X) the recipient knew that a request for bankruptcy had been filed, or (Y) the performance of the obligation was the result of consultation between it and the recipient with a view to give preference to the latter over the person’s creditors.

 

  (o)

 

  (i)

An extract from the Trade Register does not provide conclusive evidence that the facts set out in it are correct. However, under the 2007 Trade Register Act (Handelsregisterwet 2007), subject to limited exceptions, a legal entity or partnership cannot invoke the incorrectness or incompleteness of its Trade Register registration against third parties who were unaware of the incorrectness or incompleteness.

 

  (ii)

A confirmation from the Central Insolvency Register does not provide conclusive evidence that an entity is not subject to a Dutch Insolvency or foreign Insolvency Proceedings (also because they are not all registered).
