For purposes of this Pledge, the term Secured Obligations shall mean the Foreign Obligations, as defined in the Credit Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding this, the provisions herein shall be interpreted without prejudice to the regulations in relation to the prohibition of financial assistance set out in article 40.5 of the Spanish Limited Liability Companies Act (Ley de Sociedades de Responsabilidad Limitada), which shall not be breached at any time and, therefore, the Secured Obligations shall not comprise any current or future payment obligations, outstanding or incurred by any obligor towards the Pledgee as a result of any utilization of funds in order to finance or repay the acquisition of the Pledgor shares or any company of its group shares.

 

1.2                 The Pledge created by virtue of this Clause 1 shall be extended to any other assets (whether tangible or not), rights, titles, securities or moneys that replace or are exchanged for or attached to the Participations in the event of

1.3                               Any references made to the Participations in this document shall be deemed to refer to any of the titles, securities, assets or funds that replace or are exchanged for or attach to them as provided in Clause 1.2 above.

 

1.4                               The Parties hereby agree that this Deed shall not alter or affect the terms and conditions established in the Credit Agreement.

2.2                               The Pledge is created with an indivisible nature. Consequently, each and every Participation pledged secures the complete fulfillment of the Secured Obligations. Partial fulfillment of such obligations shall not extinguish the Pledge proportionally.

 

2.3.                            The Pledgor shall only be entitled to request the release of the Pledge created hereby upon termination of the Credit Agreement and the payment in full of Loans made thereunder and as defined therein.

3.                                      INCREASES OF SHARE CAPITAL

 

3.1                               In the event that there is an increase in the share capital of any of the Companies during the life of the Pledge, the Parties expressly agree that if the Pledgor exercises its preemptive rights, the Pledge created by this deed shall be extended to all the credit rights and new participations subscribed as a result of the referred increase in the share capital so that the Pledge does not decrease in value. The extension of the Pledge will be recorded in a supplementary public deed, executed with the intervention of a Notary Public within five (5) business days following the date on which the registry of the public deed of share capital increase at the Spanish Commercial Registry is notified to the relevant Company by the Spanish Commercial Registry.

 

3.2                               If the Pledgor decides not to exercise its preemptive rights, the Pledgee should be notified of such in writing twenty (20) calendar days prior to the expiration date of the period for exercising this preemptive right. Upon receipt of such notice or if by the second business day preceding the expiration date of the period for exercising their preemptive rights, the Pledgor has not deposited the amount necessary for subscribing the new participations, the Pledgee is hereby empowered to execute on behalf of the Pledgor and through an entity chosen by the Pledgee, the steps necessary to transfer to third parties the corresponding preemptive rights, at a price set by the Pledgee (which will be the same as or higher

than the market price), and the Pledgee shall apply the funds obtained in this manner toward the payment of amounts owed pursuant to Section 11.15 of the Credit Agreement.

 

3.3                               If the Pledgor decides to exercise its preemptive rights partially, the price obtained from the transfer of the unused preemptive rights from one or more third parties (which shall be the same as or higher than the market price) may be used by the Pledgor toward payment of the newly subscribed participations and such participations will be pledged in favor of the Pledgee under the same terms established in Clause 3.1 above, the provisions of said Clause being also applicable to any partial exercise of the preemptive rights provided for in this Clause 3.3. The extension of the Pledge will be recorded by a supplementary public deed, executed by the Pledgee with the intervention of a Notary Public.

 

With respect to any part of the transfer price of the preemptive rights which is not applied toward payment for the new participations, such funds are to be applied in accordance with the provisions of Clause 3.2 above.

The Titles shall be safeguarded by the Pledgee and they will be returned to the Pledgor once the Pledge has been released as herein provided. The Pledgor undertakes to do whatever is necessary or advisable in order to maintain the deposit as herein provided.

(i)                                     write on the Titles in order to reflect the creation of the Pledge;

 

(ii)                                  to instruct all affected Notaries so that any authorized copy of any deed or certificate that may be produce in connection with the Pledgor’s ownership of the Participations shall be duly amended to reflect this Pledge; and

5.                                      LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFER OF THE PLEDGED PARTICIPATIONS

 

5.1                               For as long as the Pledge remains valid and

 

 

9



 

This is a translation of the original document.

 

enforceable, the Pledgor may not, except as provided for in the Credit Agreement, without the express written consent of the Pledgee, transfer or create any form of lien or encumbrance on the Participations or dispose or charge them in any way whatsoever.

 

5.2                               The Pledgee is entitled to exercise any other rights and claims necessary or appropriate to preserve the value of the Participations subject to this Pledge.

 

6.                                      EXERCISE OF RIGHTS PERTAINING TO THE PLEDGED PARTICIPATIONS

 

6.1                               The Parties agree that the Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise all the political rights attached to the Participations. The Pledgor will exercise those political rights in the general shareholders’ meeting of the Companies in a way consistent with the fulfillment of the Secured Obligations.

 

6.2                               However, the Pledgor undertakes that once it has received from the Pledgee the notification that an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) has taken place, the Pledgor shall perform all acts necessary to hold general partners’ meetings of the Companies within the maximum term of fifteen calendar days from the reception of said notice. The agenda of said general shareholders’ meetings shall include an amendment of the Companies’ By-laws so as to permit the Pledgee to exercise the political rights of the participations charged by a pledge of participations (regardless of its creation prior to or after said By-laws’ amendment). The Pledgor also undertakes to vote in favor of said amendment, and to perform all the

necessary acts for the effectiveness of said resolutions amending the By-laws, including their registration at the Commercial Registry.

 

Likewise, the Pledgor undertakes to grant in favor of the Pledgee a power of attorney so that it may, from the reception of the aforementioned Pledgee’s notice by the Pledgor, and acting in the name and on behalf of the Pledgor, attend the general partners’ meetings and exercise the political rights corresponding to the Participations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Pledgor also undertakes to grant whatever powers of attorney or ratification documents in favor of the Pledgee which are requested by the Pledgee for the effective exercise of said political rights and, in particular, to grant a special power of attorney in favor of the Pledgee to attend each general partners’ meeting of the Companies. The Pledgor further undertakes not to attend those partners’ meetings.

 

6.3                               Should an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) take place, all yields, interests, fruits or dividends produced by the Participations, shall be for the benefit of the Pledgee to guarantee the fulfillment of any outstanding Secured Obligation.

7.                        CANCELLATION OF THE PLEDGE AND RETURN OF THE PARTICIPATIONS

 

The Pledgee will return the Titles, as well as any dividend or other income paid in respect of the Participations and not applied to payment of the Secured Obligations once all Secured Obligations have been fully met, unless the Pledgee exercises the rights conferred by Article 1,866 of the Spanish Civil Code to withhold the pledged Participations for as long as the Pledgor has not fully satisfied any other right or debt which it may have against the Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Pledgee expressly reserves this right.

 

8.                        ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES

 

8.1                 This Pledge shall be enforceable upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

 

The Parties hereby expressly agree that the communication by the Pledgee to the Pledgor stating that an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) has taken place shall be sufficient to enforce the Pledge by the Pledgee.

 

8.2.              For purposes of the foreclosure of the Pledge, and notwithstanding (i) Pledgor’s liability in relation to the complete fulfillment of the Secured Obligations; and (ii) any other security interest held by the Pledgee, the Pledgee may,

 

 

12



 

This is a translation of the original document.

 

at its discretion, use any of the available judicial proceedings, including ordinary judicial proceedings or non-judicial proceeding provided for under Article 1,872 of the Spanish Civil Code. The use of one foreclosure method shall not preclude the possibility of resorting to any of the others, insofar as the Secured Obligations have not been fully paid.

 

8.3.              The Parties hereto agree that the amount liquid, due and payable will be the amount specified in the certificate issued by the Pledgee. Such certificate shall include the balance resulting from the calculation made by the Pledgee, and a statement of the debit and credit entries and those relating to the application of expenses, commissions and interest (if any) which determine the specific balance of the amount owed (the “Certificate”).

 

Therefore, the presentation of the following documents will be sufficient to initiate the enforcement of the Pledge: (i) the original of this Deed; (ii) together with a certificate issued by the Notary attesting this Deed by which it is stated that the Deed conforms to its files and their date; (iii) the notarial deed incorporating the certificate issued by the Pledgee referred to above evidencing that the liquidation of the debt has been executed in the form agreed in the Credit Agreement; and (iv) a notarial deed evidencing that the Pledgor has been served notice of the amount due and payable.

 

The Parties expressly agree that, in the event of foreclosure, the Pledgee may use the method of

 

 

13



 

This is a translation of the original document.

 

foreclosure of the Participations by agreement or by a specialized person or entity, as referred to in sections 3 and 4 of Chapter IV, Title IV, Book III of the Civil Procedure Law. The Pledgor hereby gives its consent to the use of such methods if requested by the Pledgee.

 

The Parties further agree that this Pledge may be enforced in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 573 et seq. of the aforesaid Civil Procedure Law, taking into account the procedure for auctioning movable property established in Article 643 et seq. thereof, and to such effect the Participations may be auctioned in one or more lots, as the Pledgee may decide.

 

8.4                 Should the Pledgee decide to follow the procedure established under Article 1,872 of the Spanish Civil Code, the Parties agree as follows:

 

(i)                       domiciles for purposes of notification will be those provided under Clause 12;

 

(ii)                    reference price: The Participations wil be priced at a total amount of 66,000,000 Euro Such amount results from adding 8,000,000 Euro corresponding to the participations in ESCUELA SUPERIOR DE ALTA GESTIÓN DE HOTEL, S.L. to 58,000,000 Euro corresponding to the participants in ICE INVERSIONES BRAZIL, S.L;

 

(iii)                 the Pledgor hereby appoints the Pledgee, who will act through its duly appointed representatives, as its agent in the auction of

 

 

14


 

This is a translation of the original document.

 

the pledged Participations, and irrevocably authorizes it to execute, acting in the name and on behalf of the Pledgor, all public documents which are required in order to formalize the transfer of the Participations in favor of the purchaser or purchasers, as the case may be, with express authority to also execute documents to which the Pledgee is a party as purchaser;

 

(iv)                    the competent Notary will be the Spanish Notary designated by the Pledgee and the reference price for the first auction will be the price provided under (ii) above. For the second and subsequent auctions there will be no minimum reference price. The Participations will be awarded to the highest bidder.

 

At the request of the Pledgee, third and subsequent auctions may take place, subject to the same formalities and without a minimum reference price. Likewise, at the request of the Pledgee, partial auctions may take place with respect to some of the Participations.

 

Whoever wins the auction bid (i) may assign its right to purchase the Participations to a third party, and (ii) will have to pay the balance between the amount subject to the escrow deposit (provided for in (vi) below) and the acquisition price of the Participations within three (3) business days from the date of the auction; should the winner of the auction fail to pay such balance, it will lose the amount in the escrow deposit;

 

(v)                       the Notary and the Pledgor will be authorized to take whatever actions they deem appropriate for purposes of ensuring that the

 

 

15



 

This is a translation of the original document.

 

auctions become of public knowledge. Announcements will be published and notice to the Pledgor will be given at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the first auction;

 

(vi)                    any bidder will be required to deposit in an escrow account with the Notary an amount equivalent to 20% of the reference price provided for the first auction. Said amount will be returned to any unsuccessful bidder once the auction is over;

 

(vii)                 the price obtained in the auction, once all expenses arising under the enforcement procedures have been duly covered, will be delivered by the Notary to the Pledgee, who will in turn deliver to the Pledgor any excess over the amount due for payment of the Secured Obligations;

 

(viii)              the enforcement procedures will not be suspended unless the Notary receives an order issued by the competent judicial authority or by the Pledgee;

 

(ix)                    the auctions will be publicly announced with ten (10) calendar days notice. A new auction may not take place unless at least four (4) calendar days have elapsed since the previous auction;

 

Should the Participations be acquired by the Pledgee, the payment of the price of the Participations may be settled by set off, by reducing the amount of the Secured Obligations by an amount equal to that offered by the Pledgee as purchase price for the Participations. Amounts resulting from the sale of the Participations will be allocated to the payment of the Secured Obligations

 

 

16



 

This is a translation of the original document.

 

pursuant to Section 11.15 of the Credit Agreement.

 

8.5                     The Pledgee will retain all rights and claims against the Pledgor for that part of the Secured Obligations which is not duly satisfied by the Pledgor or on the Pledgor’s account or as a result of the enforcement of the Pledge.

 

9.                            IN REM SUBROGATION DUE TO CHANGE IN THE OBJECT OF THE PLEDGE

 

Should the Pledge extend to cash or to rights of credit which may be converted into cash whether due to dividends or other income of the same nature corresponding to the Participations or because the collateral is replaced by operation of law (in rem subrogation), all legal consequences corresponding to a right of pledge will apply to both the cash and the credit rights which will be kept as security. The only exception is that the “enforcement” of the Pledge over the cash or credit rights will take place by way of set off against the outstanding Secured Obligations.

 

10.                     REPRESENTATIONS AND UNDERTAKINGS OF THE PLEDGOR

 

The Pledgor hereby represents and warrants that (i) it has full title and beneficial ownership of the Participations; (ii) that such Participations represent 100% of the share capitals of the Companies and, unless a change in the Pledgor’s participation in the share capitals of the Companies is permitted in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, shall represent 100% of the share capital of the Companies during the term of this Pledge; (iii) that such Participations are not subject to any voting agreements or arrangements (“pactos
