The Issuer has also entered into a calculation agency agreement (as amended, supplemented or amended and restated from time to time, the “Calculation Agency Agreement”) dated 18 December 2025 with Conv-Ex Advisors Limited (the “Calculation Agent”, which expression shall include any successor as calculation agent under the Calculation Agency Agreement) pursuant to which the Calculation Agent will be appointed to make certain calculations in relation to the Bonds. The Bondholders are deemed to have notice of those provisions applicable to them which are contained in the Calculation Agency Agreement.

40


Certain identified information has been omitted from this exhibit because it is not material and would likely cause competitive harm to the registrant if publicly disclosed. [***] indicates that information has been omitted.

The Bonds bear interest from (and including) the Issue Date at the rate of 6.50 per cent. per annum (the “Rate of Interest”) payable in arrear on each three-month anniversary date of the Concurrent Equity Raise (being 18 February, 18 May, 18 August and 18 November of each year) (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date), with the first Interest Payment Date falling on 18 February 2026 and with the final Interest Payment Date falling on the Original Final Maturity Date.

The amount of interest payable per each Bond in respect of any period (the “Accrual Period”) which is, or is shorter than, an Interest Period (including, without limitation, interest payable on any Interest Payment Date, and interest payable in respect of an Advanced Amortised Payment Amount on an Advanced Amortisation Payment Date) shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent as the product (rounded to the nearest whole multiple of €0.01 (with €0.005 being rounded upwards)) of:

(i)

the outstanding principal amount of such Bond (or, in the case of interest payable in respect of an Advanced Amortised Payment Amount on an Advanced Amortisation Payment Date, such Advanced Amortised Payment Amount);

(ii)

the Rate of Interest; and

(iii)

the applicable day count fraction determined in accordance with the Actual/Actual (ICMA) day count convention, being:

(A)

where such Accrual Period is an Interest Period (other than the first Interest Period): 0.25; or

(B)

where such Accrual Period is the first Interest Period: a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such first Interest Period and the denominator of which is the product of:

(1)

92; and

(2)

4, being the number of Interest Periods normally ending in any year;

(C)

where such Accrual Period is shorter than an Interest Period, a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such Accrual Period and the denominator of which is the product of:

(1)

the number of days in the Interest Period in which such Accrual Period falls (or, if such Interest Period is the first Interest Period, 92); and

(2)

4, being the number of Interest Periods normally ending in any year.

For the avoidance of doubt, in circumstances where an Advanced Amortised Payment Date has occurred in respect of any Bond in an Interest Period, the relevant Advanced Amortisation Payment shall be ignored for the purposes of calculating the interest payable on the relevant Bond on the Interest Payment Date immediately following such Interest Period (so as to avoid any double counting in respect of interest paid in respect of such Advanced Amortisation Payment on such Advanced Amortised Payment Date).

(a)

where the Conversion Right shall have been exercised by a Bondholder from (and including) the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the relevant Conversion Date or, if none, the Issue Date (subject in any such case as provided in Condition 6.12 (Interest on Conversion)); or

(b)

where such Bond is redeemed or repaid pursuant to Condition 7 (Redemption of Bonds) or Condition 10 (Events of Default), from (and including) the due date for redemption or repayment thereof (which shall be, for the avoidance of doubt, in respect of any principal due on any Amortisation Payment Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Advanced Amortisation Payment Date) in respect of which a Share Settlement applies, such Amortisation Payment Date) unless payment of principal is improperly withheld or refused or, following any election to exercise the Share Settlement Option, the Issuer fails duly to perform its obligations to issue or transfer and deliver the relevant Deliverable Shares in accordance with Condition 9.9 (Share Settlement Option) in which event interest will continue to accrue at the rate specified in Condition 5.1 (Interest Rate) (both before and after judgment) to (but excluding) the Relevant Date or, as the case may be, the date on which such issue and delivery of Deliverable Shares is duly made in accordance with Condition 9.9 (Share Settlement Option).

5.3Default Interest

If the Issuer fails to pay any amount payable by it on its due date, default interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from (and including) the due date up to (but excluding) the date of actual payment at a rate which is two per cent. higher than the Rate of Interest.

6.Conversion of Bonds

6.1Conversion Period and Conversion Price

Subject to and as provided in these Conditions, each Bond in the original principal amount of €100,000 shall entitle the holder to convert the whole of the then outstanding principal amount of such Bond into new and/or existing Share(s) as determined by the Issuer, credited as fully paid (a “Bond Conversion Right”).

Subject to and as provided in these Conditions, each Bond shall entitle the holder to contribute in kind in the Issuer its receivable for the amount of the relevant Amortised Payment Amount (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Advanced Amortised Payment Amount) that would be payable on the next following Amortisation Payment Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Advanced Amortisation Payment Date) in respect of such Bond (any such Amortised Payment Amount (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Advanced Amortised Payment Amount), an “Upcoming Amortised Payment Amount” in respect of such Bond) against issuance of new Share(s), credited as fully paid (the “Amortisation Conversion Right” and together with the Bond Conversion Right the “Conversion Rights”).

The number of Shares to be issued or transferred and delivered on exercise of a Conversion Right shall be equal to the Reference Shares in respect of such exercise, subject to Condition 6.3 (Retroactive Adjustments).

The Conversion Price per Share is initially €5.00 (the “Initial Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment in the circumstances described in Condition 6.2 (Adjustment of Conversion Price) and Condition 6.4 (Conversion Price Reset). The expression “Conversion Price” shall be construed accordingly.

Subject to and as provided in these Conditions (including, without limitation, Condition 6.9 (Procedure for exercise of Conversion Rights)), the Conversion Right in respect of a Bond (including the right to convert any Upcoming Amortised Payment Amounts in respect thereof) may be exercised, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time subject to any applicable fiscal or other laws or regulations and as hereinafter provided from (and including) the Issue Date to (and including) the date falling two Qualifying Business Days prior to the Final Maturity Date (or, in the case of the right to convert any Upcoming Amortised Payment Amount, to (and including) the date falling one Qualifying Business Day prior to the Amortisation Payment Date in relation to such Upcoming Amortised Payment Amount), unless there shall be a default in making payment in respect of such Bond on any such date fixed for redemption, in which event the Conversion Right shall extend up to (and including) the date on which the full amount of such payment becomes available for payment and notice of such availability has been given to Bondholders or, if earlier, the Final Maturity Date; provided that, in each case, if such final date for the exercise of Conversion Rights is not a Qualifying Business Day, then the period for exercise of Conversion Rights by Bondholders shall end on (and including) the immediately preceding Qualifying Business Day.

The period during which Conversion Rights may (subject as provided below) be exercised by a Bondholder is referred to as the “Conversion Period”.

Conversion Rights shall expire immediately upon the commencement of liquidation, bankruptcy, insolvency or other analogous proceedings relating to the Issuer, dissolution of the Issuer or removal from the Belgian Crossroads Bank for Enterprises of the Issuer.

Fractions of Shares will not be issued or transferred and delivered on exercise of Conversion Rights or pursuant to Condition 6.3 (Retroactive Adjustments) and no cash payment or other adjustment

43


Certain identified information has been omitted from this exhibit because it is not material and would likely cause competitive harm to the registrant if publicly disclosed. [***] indicates that information has been omitted.

will be made in lieu thereof. However, if the Conversion Right in respect of more than one Bond (or any Upcoming Amortised Payment Amounts that would be payable on more than one Bond, as the case may be) is exercised at any one time such that Shares to be issued or transferred and delivered on conversion or pursuant to Condition 6.3 (Retroactive Adjustments) are to be registered in the same name, the number of such Shares to be issued or transferred and delivered in respect thereof shall, in accordance with the definition of ‘Reference Shares’, be calculated by the Calculation Agent on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of such Bonds (or aggregate amount of the relevant Upcoming Amortised Payment Amounts, as the case may be) being so converted and rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares.

Conversion Rights may not be exercised (i) following the giving of notice by the holders of at least one-quarter in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding pursuant to Condition 10 (Events of Default); (ii) in respect of a Bond in respect of which the relevant holder has exercised its right to require the Issuer to redeem pursuant to Condition 7.2 (Redemption at the Option of Bondholders (Relevant Event)) (but without prejudice to the rights of Bondholders to require the Issuer to issue or transfer and deliver Shares as provided therein); or (iii) on any Interest Payment Date or Amortisation Payment Date or the dealing day immediately prior to such date.

Subject to the right of the Issuer to make a Cash Alternative Election (which shall be exercisable solely in the event and to the extent that the issue and delivery of Shares in respect of any exercise of Conversion Rights would cause the issue, conversion or delivery of more Shares than permitted by applicable law pursuant to Condition 12 (Regulatory Share Cap)), the Issuer will procure that Shares to be issued or transferred and delivered on exercise of Conversion Rights will be issued or transferred and delivered to, or to the order of, the person or persons specified in the relevant Payment Details by the relevant Bondholder in accordance with the provisions of Condition 6.9 (Procedure for exercise of Conversion Rights). Such Shares (other than Additional Shares) will be deemed to be issued or transferred and delivered as of the relevant Registration Date and the Issuer shall procure that such Registration Date shall occur as soon as practicable after the relevant Conversion Date (and in any event no later than the relevant Scheduled Delivery Date in respect of such Shares). Any Additional Shares to be issued or transferred and delivered pursuant to Condition 6.3 (Retroactive Adjustments) will be deemed to be issued or transferred and delivered as of the relevant Additional Registration Date and the Issuer shall procure that such Additional Registration Date shall occur as soon as practicable after the relevant Reference Date (and in any event no later than the relevant Scheduled Delivery Date in respect of such Additional Shares).

6.2Adjustment of Conversion Price

Subject to the provisions of this Condition 6 (Conversion of Bonds), upon the occurrence of any of the events described below (other than where the Applicable Adjustment Record Date in respect thereof falls prior to the Issue Date), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by the Calculation Agent as follows:

(a)

Consolidation, reclassification, redesignation or subdivision

If and whenever there shall be a consolidation, reclassification, redesignation or subdivision affecting the number of Shares in issue, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to the Effective Date by the following fraction:

A

B

44


Certain identified information has been omitted from this exhibit because it is not material and would likely cause competitive harm to the registrant if publicly disclosed. [***] indicates that information has been omitted.

where:

A

is the aggregate number of Shares in issue immediately before such consolidation, reclassification, redesignation or subdivision, as the case may be; and

B

is the aggregate number of Shares in issue immediately after, and as a result of, such consolidation, reclassification, redesignation or subdivision, as the case may be.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the Effective Date.

Effective Date” means, in respect of this Condition 6.2(a), the date on which the consolidation, reclassification, redesignation or sub-division, as the case may be, takes effect (or, if later, the Brussels and New York business day falling immediately after the record date or other due date for the establishment of entitlement in respect thereof).

(in each case translated if necessary into EUR at the Prevailing Rate on the date of first public announcement of the terms of such Equity Raise) as determined by the Issuer acting reasonably and in consultation with the Calculation Agent.

Qualifying Equity Raise” means any Relevant Equity Raise if the Placing Proceeds of such Relevant Equity Raise, together with the Placing Proceeds in respect of any other previous Relevant Equity Raise (disregarding for this purpose the entirety of any Relevant Equity Raise if any part or the entirety of such Relevant Equity Raise was previously taken into account in the determination of any previous Qualifying Equity Raise), are equal to or greater than €2 million, as determined by the Issuer acting reasonably and in consultation with the Calculation Agent.

Relevant Equity Raise” means any Equity Raise the Placing Price in respect of which is lower than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of first public announcement of the terms of such Equity Raise.

6.5Decision and Determination of the Calculation Agent or an Independent Adviser

Adjustments to the Conversion Price shall be determined and calculated by the Calculation Agent upon request from the Issuer and/or, to the extent so specified in the Conditions and upon request from the Issuer, by an Independent Adviser.

Adjustments to the Conversion Price calculated by the Calculation Agent or, where applicable, an Independent Adviser and any other determinations made by the Calculation Agent or, where applicable, an Independent Adviser, or an opinion of an Independent Adviser, pursuant to these Conditions shall in each case be made in good faith and shall be final and binding (in the absence of manifest error) on the Issuer, the Bondholders and the Calculation Agent (in the case of a determination by an Independent Adviser).

The Calculation Agent may consult, at the expense of the Issuer, on any matter (including, but not limited to, any legal matter), any legal or other professional adviser and it shall be able to rely upon, and it shall not be liable and shall incur no liability as against the Bondholders in respect of anything done, or omitted to be done, relating to that matter in good faith in accordance with that adviser’s opinion.

The Calculation Agent shall act solely upon the request from the Issuer, and shall act exclusively as agent of, the Issuer and in accordance with these Conditions. Neither the Calculation Agent (acting in such capacity) nor any Independent Adviser appointed in connection with the Bonds (acting in such capacity) will thereby assume any obligations towards or relationship of agency or trust and shall not be liable and shall incur no liability in respect of anything done, or omitted to be done in good faith, in its capacity as Calculation Agent, or as the case may be, Independent Adviser as against the Bondholders.

If following consultation between the Issuer and the Calculation Agent any doubt shall arise as to whether an adjustment falls to be made to the Conversion Price or as to the appropriate adjustment to the Conversion Price, following consultation between the Issuer and an Independent Adviser, a written opinion of such Independent Adviser in respect thereof shall be conclusive and binding on the Issuer, the Bondholders and the Calculation Agent (if different), save in the case of manifest error.

The Issuer shall promptly notify Bondholders in accordance with Condition 16 (Notices) of each determination, calculation or adjustment performed by the Calculation Agent and/or Independent Adviser pursuant to these Conditions.

6.6Exempt Transactions, Second Tranche Bonds and Concurrent Equity Raise

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Conditions, but without prejudice to Condition 6.4(a) (Conversion Price Reset), no adjustment will be made to the Conversion Price:

(a)

in respect of any Shares issued and allotted pursuant to an Excluded Instrument;

(b)

in respect of the issue of the Second Tranche Bonds (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any further bonds issued in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof) or any Shares issued and allotted pursuant to the exercise of conversion rights or any option similar to the Share Settlement Option under the Second Tranche Bonds; or

(c)

in respect of any Shares issued and allotted pursuant to the Concurrent Equity Raise.

6.7Rounding Down and Notice of Adjustment to the Conversion Price

On any adjustment, the resultant Conversion Price, if not a whole multiple of €0.0001, shall be rounded down to the nearest whole multiple of €0.0001.

Notice of any adjustments to the Conversion Price (and the resulting Minimum PMP) shall be given by the Issuer to Bondholders in accordance with Condition 16 (Notices) promptly after the determination thereof.

The Conversion Price shall not in any event be reduced so that, on conversion of the Bonds, Shares would fall to be issued in circumstances not permitted by applicable laws or regulations. The Issuer undertakes that it shall not take any action, and shall procure that no action is taken, that would otherwise result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price that would result in Shares being required to be issued or transferred and delivered in circumstances not permitted by applicable laws or regulations.

6.8Relevant Event

Within five Qualifying Business Days following the occurrence of a Relevant Event, the Issuer shall give notice thereof to Bondholders in accordance with Condition 16 (Notices) (a “Relevant Event Notice”). The Relevant Event Notice shall contain a statement informing Bondholders of (i) their entitlement to exercise their Conversion Rights as provided in these Conditions and (ii) their entitlement to exercise their rights to require redemption of their Bonds pursuant to Condition 7.2 (Redemption at the Option of Bondholders (Relevant Event). In the case of a Change of Control, the foregoing sentence shall be subject to the Change of Control Resolutions having been approved and filed in accordance with Article 7:151 of the Belgian Companies and Associations Code.

The Relevant Event Notice shall also specify, as applicable:

(a)

if applicable, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all information material to Bondholders concerning the Change of Control;

(e)

the Relevant Event Period; and

(f)

the Relevant Event Put Date.

6.9Procedure for exercise of Conversion Rights

Conversion Rights in respect of a Bond may be exercised by a Bondholder (provided that the relevant Conversion Date falls during the Conversion Period) by (i) in respect of the whole of such Bond, by delivering the relevant Bond Certificate together with a Conversion Notice to the Issuer and (ii) in respect of any Upcoming Amortised Payment Amount, by delivering a Conversion Notice to the Issuer, whereupon the Issuer shall (subject as provided in these Conditions) procure the delivery to, or as directed by, the relevant Bondholder of Shares credited as paid-up in full, as provided in this Condition 6.9 (Procedure for exercise of Conversion Rights).

If such delivery is made after 1:00 p.m. Brussels time or on a day which is not a Qualifying Business Day, such delivery shall be deemed for all purposes of these Conditions to have been made on the next following Qualifying Business Day.

The conversion date in respect of a Bond (the “Conversion Date”) shall be the Qualifying Business Day on which delivery (or deemed delivery) of the relevant Conversion Notice (and, where applicable, the relevant Bond Certificate) is made (or deemed to be made) as provided in this Condition 6.9 (Procedure for exercise of Conversion Rights). The Conversion Date shall be deemed to be the date on which the Conversion Right is exercised in respect of such Bond.

A Conversion Notice, once delivered, shall be irrevocable.

Among other things, each Conversion Notice shall specify whether the relevant Bondholder elects for the Shares to be issued or transferred and delivered on exercise of Conversion Rights (including any Additional Shares) to be either US Shares, Belgian Shares or a combination thereof.

Shares to be issued or transferred and delivered on exercise of Conversion Rights (including any Additional Shares) will be issued or transferred and delivered in dematerialised or uncertificated form, as the case may be, through the securities trading system operated by (in the case of Belgian Shares) Euroclear Belgium or (in the case of US Shares) DTC, (as the case may be). Where Shares are to be issued or transferred and delivered through Euroclear Belgium or DTC, they will be delivered to the account specified by the relevant Bondholder in the relevant Payment Details as soon as practicable and in any event by not later than (in the case of Belgian Shares) the second Brussels business day or (in the case of US Shares) the second New York business day, in each case following the relevant Conversion Date (or, in the case of any Additional Shares, not later than the second Brussels or New York business day (as applicable) following the relevant Reference Date). The applicable latest required date for delivery of the Shares or Additional Shares to the relevant Bondholder(s) in respect of any exercise of Conversion Rights, as provided above, shall be the “Scheduled Delivery Date” in respect of such Shares or Additional Shares, as the case may be. Shares to be issued or transferred and delivered on exercise of Conversion Rights (including any Additional Shares) shall be delivered to the relevant Bondholder(s) in freely tradeable form under applicable securities laws and will not bear legends noting restrictions as to resale of such securities under US federal or state securities laws nor be subject to stop transfer instructions.

The person or persons specified for such purpose in the Payment Details will become the holder of record of the number of Shares issuable upon conversion with effect from the Registration Date (or, in the case of Additional Shares, the Additional Registration Date). The Issuer shall take all reasonable endeavours to procure such registration of the Shares to be issued as aforesaid as soon

59


Certain identified information has been omitted from this exhibit because it is not material and would likely cause competitive harm to the registrant if publicly disclosed. [***] indicates that information has been omitted.

as practicable and in any event no later than the Scheduled Delivery Date in respect of such Shares or Additional Shares.

The Issuer shall pay all capital, stamp, issue and registration and transfer taxes and duties payable in Belgium, the United States or in any other jurisdiction in which the Issuer may be domiciled or resident or to whose taxing jurisdiction it may be generally subject (“Specified Taxes”), in respect of the allotment and issue or transfer and delivery of any Shares to the relevant Bondholder in respect of such exercise of Conversion Rights (including any Additional Shares) or in respect of any allotment and issue or transfer of Bonds. If the Issuer fails to pay any Specified Taxes, the relevant Bondholder shall be entitled to tender and pay the same and the Issuer, as a separate and independent stipulation, covenants to reimburse and indemnify each Bondholder in respect of any payment thereof and any interest and penalties payable and costs incurred in respect thereof.

A Bondholder exercising Conversion Rights must pay directly to the relevant authorities any capital, stamp, issue, registration and transfer taxes and duties arising on the exercise of Conversion Rights (other than any Specified Taxes which shall be payable by the Issuer). A Bondholder must also pay, or procure the payment of all, if any, taxes imposed on it and arising by reference to any disposal or deemed disposal by it of a Bond or interest therein in connection with the exercise of Conversion Rights by it. Any such capital, stamp, issue, registration or transfer taxes or duties or other taxes payable by a Bondholder are referred to as “Bondholder Taxes”.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Calculation Agent shall not be responsible for determining whether any Specified Taxes or Bondholder Taxes are payable or the amount thereof and shall not be responsible or liable for any failure by the Issuer to pay such Specified Taxes or by a Bondholder to pay such Bondholder Taxes.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Conditions, a Bondholder exercising Conversion Rights following a Change of Control Conversion Right Amendment as described in Condition 11(b)(vii) (Undertakings) will be deemed, for the purposes of these Conditions, to have received the Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Bonds for the consideration that it would have received therefor if it had exercised its Conversion Right in respect of such Bonds at the time of the occurrence of the relevant Change of Control.

6.10Cash Alternative Election

(a)

Upon exercise of a Conversion Right, and solely in the event and to the extent that the issue and delivery of Shares in respect of such exercise of a Conversion Right would cause the issue, conversion or delivery of (i) more Shares than permitted by applicable law pursuant to Condition 12 (Regulatory Share Cap) or (ii) Shares in breach of applicable regulations to deliver freely transferable Shares, the Issuer may make an election (a “Cash Alternative Election”) by giving notice (a “Cash Alternative Election Notice”) to the relevant Bondholder by not later than the date (the “Cash Alternative Election Date”) falling one dealing day after the relevant Conversion Date (with a copy to the Calculation Agent) to satisfy the exercise of the Conversion Right in respect of the relevant Bonds by (i) making payment, or procuring that payment is made, to the relevant Bondholder of the Cash Alternative Amount in respect of the Cash Settled Shares in respect of such exercise as specified in the relevant Cash Alternative Election Notice, and (ii) where the Cash Settled Shares are less than the Reference Shares in respect of the relevant exercise of Conversion Rights, by issuing or transferring and delivering the Physically Settled Shares, together in any such case with any other amount payable to such Bondholder pursuant to these Conditions in respect of or relating to the relevant exercise of Conversion Rights.

(b)

The Cash Alternative Election Notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify:

60


Certain identified information has been omitted from this exhibit because it is not material and would likely cause competitive harm to the registrant if publicly disclosed. [***] indicates that information has been omitted.

(i)

the Conversion Price in effect on the relevant Conversion Date and the number of Reference Shares in respect of such exercise of Conversion Rights;

(ii)

the number of Cash Settled Shares in respect of the relevant exercise of Conversion Rights, by reference to which the Cash Alternative Amount is to be calculated; and

(iii)

if the number of Cash Settled Shares (determined as aforesaid) is less than the number of Reference Shares in respect of the relevant exercise of Conversion Rights, the number of Physically Settled Shares to be transferred and delivered by the Issuer to the relevant Bondholder in respect of such exercise.

(c)

The Issuer will pay the Cash Alternative Amount not later than the second Brussels business day following the first Brussels business day on which the Cash Alternative Amount is capable of being determined in accordance with these Conditions, by transfer to a bank account in accordance with the Payment Details.

6.11Ranking and Entitlement

Shares (including any Additional Shares) issued or transferred and delivered on exercise of Conversion Rights will from the date (such date, the “Registration Date” or, in the case of Additional Shares, the “Additional Registration Date”) on which such Shares are registered in a local shareholders’ register maintained or kept on behalf of the Issuer, rank pari passu with the fully paid Shares in issue on such Registration Date (or, as the case may be, Additional Registration Date), and the person or persons specified for such purpose in the Payment Details by the relevant Bondholder shall be treated as the holder or holders thereof with effect from, and be entitled to all rights, distribution, payments and entitlements (relating to such Shares) the record date or other due date for the establishment of entitlement for which falls on or after, such Registration Date (or, as the case may be, Additional Registration Date), except in any such case for any right excluded by mandatory provisions of applicable law or as otherwise may be provided in these Conditions.

Such Shares or, as the case may be, Additional Shares will not rank for (or, as the case may be, the relevant holder shall not be entitled to receive) any rights, distributions or payments the record date or other due date for the establishment of entitlement for which falls prior to such Registration Date (or, as the case may be, Additional Registration Date).

6.12Interest on Conversion

No payment or adjustment shall be made on exercise of Conversion Rights for any interest which otherwise would have accrued on the relevant Bonds (or, where Conversion Rights are exercised in respect of any Upcoming Amortised Payment Amount, such Upcoming Amortised Payment Amount) since the last Interest Payment Date preceding the Conversion Date relating to such Bonds (or, if such Conversion Date falls before the first Interest Payment Date, since the Issue Date).

6.13Purchase or Redemption of Shares

The Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer may exercise such rights as they may from time to time enjoy to purchase or redeem or buy back any shares of the Issuer (including Shares) or any depositary or other receipts or certificates representing the same without the consent of the Bondholders.

6.14No Duty to Monitor

The Calculation Agent shall not be under any duty to monitor whether any event or circumstance has happened or exists or may happen or exist and which requires or may require an adjustment to

61

be made to the Conversion Price or be responsible or liable to any person for any loss arising from any failure by any of them to do so. The Calculation Agent shall also not be responsible or liable to any person (other than in the case of the Calculation Agent, to the Issuer strictly in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Calculation Agency Agreement) for any determination as to whether or not an adjustment to the Conversion Price is required or should be made or for any determination or calculation of any such adjustment.

6.15Consolidated, Amalgamation, Merger, Demerger and Re-domiciliation

Without prejudice to the restrictions provided in Condition 2.3(c), in the case of:

(a)

any consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Issuer with any other corporation (other than a consolidation, amalgamation or merger in which the Issuer is the continuing corporation); or

(b)

a demerger where all or substantially all the assets of the Issuer are transferred to one or more other entities; or

(c)

a re-domiciliation where the Issuer is converted to another corporation form in another country than is domicile,

where such entity or entities issue equity shares to Shareholders and provided, in each case, that such equity shares benefit from a listing on a stock exchange or multilateral trading facility based in a full member country of the European Union or in the United Kingdom (failing which, the Bondholders shall have such rights as if such failure constituted a Change of Control Conversion Right Amendment), the Issuer will forthwith give notice thereof to the Bondholders in accordance with Condition 16 (Notices) of such event and take such steps as shall be required (including the execution of an amendment or supplement to these Conditions) to ensure that each Bond then outstanding will (during the Conversion Period) be convertible into the class and amount of such shares and other Securities receivable upon such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, demerger or re-domiciliation by a holder of the number of Shares which would have become liable to be issued or transferred and delivered upon exercise of Conversion Rights immediately prior to such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, demerger or re-domiciliation.

The above provisions of this Condition 6.15 will apply, mutatis mutandis, to any subsequent consolidations, amalgamations, mergers, demergers or re-domiciliations.

7.Redemption of Bonds

7.1Mandatory Redemption by Amortisation

(a)Scheduled Amortisation Payments

Subject to Condition 7.1(c) (Deferral and Advancement of Amortisation Payments) below, on each three-month anniversary date of the Concurrent Equity Raise Pricing Date (being 18 February, 18 May, 18 August, and 18 November of each year) (each such date, a “Scheduled Amortisation Payment Date”, with the first Scheduled Amortisation Payment Date falling on 18 February 2026 and the final Scheduled Amortisation Payment Date falling on the Original Final Maturity Date, and each such date as may become subject to deferral or advancement as provided in Condition 7.1(c) (Deferral and Advancement of Amortisation Payments), an “Amortisation Payment Date”), each Bond outstanding (except for any Bond in respect of which Conversion Rights have been exercised prior to the relevant Amortisation Payment Date) will be redeemed in instalments of €8,500 per Bond (or, in the case of the instalment scheduled to be redeemed on the Original Final

Maturity Date, €6,500) (each an “Amortised Payment Amount”), together with any interest accrued and unpaid thereon as provided in Condition 5.

Upon each redemption or conversion of an Amortised Payment Amount (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Advanced Amortised Payment Amount) on an Amortisation Payment Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Advanced Amortisation Payment Date), the principal amount of each Bond shall be reduced accordingly on such Amortisation Payment Date.

(b)Principal Share Settlement Option Notice

In respect of the Amortised Payment Amount (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Advanced Amortised Payment Amount) due on each Amortisation Payment Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Advanced Amortisation Payment Date), such amount shall be paid in cash at the Cash Amortisation Price in respect of such Amortised Payment Amount unless, subject to Condition 9.9(d) (Annulment of Share Settlement Option), the Issuer elects (in its sole discretion) to exercise the Share Settlement Option pursuant to and in accordance with Condition 9.9 in respect of all but not some only of the Bonds by giving notice thereof (a “Principal Share Settlement Option Notice”) (which notice shall be irrevocable) to Bondholders in accordance with Condition 16 (Notices) by no later than 5:00 p.m. New York time on the second Qualifying Business Day prior to such Amortisation Payment Date (or, in the case of any Advanced Amortised Payment Amount due on an Advanced Amortisation Payment Date, by no later than 5:00 p.m. New York time on the second Qualifying Business Day prior to such Advanced Amortisation Payment Date). Shares to be issued or transferred and delivered on exercise of the Share Settlement Option shall be delivered to the relevant Bondholder(s) in freely tradeable form under applicable securities laws and will not bear legends noting restrictions as to resale of such securities under US federal or state securities laws nor be subject to stop transfer instructions.

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Issuer does not deliver a Principal Share Settlement Option Notice on or prior to the dates specified in the preceding paragraph in respect of all Amortised Payment Amount(s) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Advanced Amortised Payment Amount) due on the relevant Amortisation Payment Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Advanced Amortisation Payment Date) and in accordance with Condition 16 (Notices), each Bondholder may, in its sole discretion, and at any time up to (and including) the Qualifying Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Amortisation Payment Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Advanced Amortisation Payment Date), exercise its Bond Conversion Rights in respect of the whole of a Bond or its Amortisation Conversion Rights in respect of any Upcoming Amortised Payment Amount(s).

than any Advanced Amortised Payment Amount) that would be payable on such Scheduled Amortisation Payment Date in respect of all or some only of the Bonds outstanding at such time so that such amounts shall not be payable on such Scheduled Amortisation Payment Date and instead shall become payable on any subsequent Scheduled Amortisation Payment Date as specified in such notice (an “Amortised Payment Deferral”, and any such Amortised Payment Amount so deferred being a “Deferred Amortised Payment Amount”) (subject always to the rights of the Majority Bondholders under paragraph (ii) below, to subsequently make an Amortised Payment Advancement in respect of such Deferred Amortised Payment Amount), provided that in relation to any Amortised Payment Deferral:

(A)

for the purposes of the calculation of the relevant number of Deliverable Shares (if any) which shall be issued or transferred and delivered to the Bondholders in respect of a Share Settlement in accordance with Condition 5.1(b) (Interest Share Settlement Option Notice) and/or 7.1(b) (Principal Share Settlement Option Notice), if there shall have occurred an event or circumstance requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Price in accordance with Condition 6 (other than Condition 6.4 (Conversion Price Reset)) after the relevant SSO Reference Date and if (if the Calculation Agent determines that it is able to make such determination in its capacity as Calculation Agent) the Calculation Agent or (in any other case) an Independent Adviser determines that an adjustment is required to be made to the Relevant Share Settlement Price to give the intended result pursuant to Condition 9.9 (Share Settlement Option), such adjustment shall be made as determined by the Calculation Agent or, as the case may be, such Independent Adviser; and

(B)

for the avoidance of doubt, interest on any such Deferred Amortised Payment Amount shall accrue to (but excluding) the relevant Scheduled Amortised Payment Date (and be payable on each Interest Payment Date) in accordance with Condition 5.1(a) (Interest Rate).

(ii)

The Majority Bondholders may, at any time during each Regular Amortisation Period, by giving notice to the Issuer in accordance with Condition 16 (Notices) (each such notice being in or substantially in the form set out in Schedule 7 (Form of Amortised Payment Advancement Notice and Deferral Notice) of the Bond Instrument, an “Amortised Payment Advancement Notice”), exercise their right to bring forward (at the Majority Bondholders’ discretion) up to two payments of the Amortised Payment Amount (or, if more than one Amortised Payment Amount is due on any Advanceable Amortisation Date in respect of such Amortised Payment Advancement Notice, up to two such Amortised Payment Amounts (at the Majority Bondholders’ discretion)) in respect of all or some only of the Bonds outstanding at such time as would otherwise be scheduled (as at the date on which the Amortised Payment Advancement Notice is given (or deemed to be given pursuant to sub-paragraph (B) below)) to be paid in respect of such Bond(s) (for the avoidance of doubt, which Amortised Payment Amount may include any Amortised Payment Amount which has been subject to an Amortised Payment Deferral) either (x) on the Final Maturity Date or (y) on each of the Final Maturity Date and the immediately preceding Amortisation Payment Date (each, an “Advanceable Amortisation Date” in respect of such Amortised Payment Advancement Notice) (with the first such Amortised Payment Advancement (if any) in respect of any Bond being therefore in respect of the Amortised Payment

Amount(s) which would otherwise be due either on the Original Final Maturity Date or on each of the Original Final Maturity Date and the Scheduled Amortisation Payment Date immediately preceding the Original Final Maturity Date) (any such Amortised Payment Amount so brought forward, an “Advanced Amortised Payment Amount”) in which case such payments shall become payable on the date specified in such notice (the Amortisation Payment Date in respect of such Advanced Amortised Payment Amount(s), an “Advanced Amortisation Payment Date”, which shall not be earlier than the third Brussels business day following the date on which the relevant Amortised Payment Advancement Notice is given (or deemed to be given pursuant to sub-paragraph (B) below)) (an “Amortised Payment Advancement”), and further provided that in relation to any Amortised Payment Advancement:

(A)

for the purposes of the calculation of the relevant number of Deliverable Shares (if any) which shall be issued or transferred and delivered to the Bondholders following any exercise of the Share Settlement Option in accordance with Condition 5.1(b) (Interest Share Settlement Option Notice) and/or 7.1(b) (Principal Share Settlement Option Notice), if there shall have occurred an event or circumstance requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Price in accordance with Condition 6 (other than Condition 6.4 (Conversion Price Reset) after the relevant SSO Reference Date and if (if the Calculation Agent determines that it is able to make such determination in its capacity as Calculation Agent) the Calculation Agent or (in any other case) an Independent Adviser determines that an adjustment is required to be made to the Relevant Share Settlement Price to give the intended result pursuant to Condition 9.9 (Share Settlement Option), such adjustment shall be made as determined by the Calculation Agent or, as the case may be, such Independent Adviser;

(B)

if the delivery of the relevant Amortised Payment Advancement Notice is made after 1:00 p.m. Brussels time or on a day which is not a Qualifying Business Day, such Amortised Payment Advancement Notice shall be deemed for all purposes of these Conditions to have been given on the next following Qualifying Business Day (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the relevant Advanced Amortised Payment Date shall not be earlier than the second Brussels business day following the date on which such Amortised Payment Advancement Notice is deemed to have been given);

(C)

in respect of each Regular Amortisation Period, the option to require an Amortised Payment Advancement may be exercised (I) if each Amortised Payment Advancement Notice given (or deemed to be given pursuant to sub-paragraph (B) above) during such Regular Amortisation Period is in relation to Amortised Payment Amount(s) otherwise scheduled to be paid on only one Advanceable Amortisation Date, then no more than twice during such Regular Amortisation Period, or (II) if the relevant Amortised Payment Advancement Notice given (or deemed to be given pursuant to sub-paragraph (B) above) during such Regular Amortisation Period is in relation to Amortised Payment Amount(s) otherwise scheduled to be paid on two Advanceable Amortisation Dates, then only once during such Regular Amortisation Period;

(D)

any Amortised Payment Advancement in respect of any Amortised Payment Amount that has previously been subject to an Amortised Payment Deferral shall not be counted for the purposes of the limitations set out in paragraph (C) above;

(E)

amongst other things, each Amortised Payment Advancement Notice shall specify whether the Majority Bondholders elect for the Shares to be issued or transferred and delivered upon exercise (if any) of the Share Settlement Option in respect of the relevant Advanced Amortised Payment Amount and/or interest accrued and unpaid thereon to be either US Shares, Belgian Shares or a combination thereof; and

(F)

for the avoidance of doubt, interest accrued and unpaid on any such Advanced Amortised Payment Amount shall be the interest accrued and unpaid thereon to (but excluding) the relevant Advanced Amortisation Payment Date and, for the avoidance of doubt, any such interest amount shall be payable on such Advanced Amortisation Payment Date.

(iii)

Nothing in this Condition 7.1(c) shall affect the rights of the Bondholders to exercise Conversion Rights in respect of any Bonds.

(d)No Other Early Redemption

Unless previously redeemed or converted as herein provided, the Bonds will be redeemed at their remaining principal amount on the Final Maturity Date. The Bonds may only be redeemed earlier than as contemplated in this Condition 7.1 if at the option of the Bondholders in accordance with Condition 7.2 (Redemption at the Option of Bondholders (Relevant Event)).

7.2Redemption at the Option of Bondholders (Relevant Event)

Following the occurrence of a Relevant Event, each Bondholder will have the right to require the Issuer to redeem, in cash (but without prejudice to the rights of Bondholders to require the Issuer to issue or transfer and deliver Shares as provided below), such Bond on the Relevant Event Put Date at the relevant Early Redemption Amount. To exercise such right, the holder of the relevant Bond must give notice thereof to the Issuer in accordance with Condition 16 (Notices) and deliver the relevant Bond Certificate to the Issuer at any time during the Relevant Event Period.

The “Relevant Event Put Date” shall be the second Brussels business day after the expiry of the Relevant Event Period.

Subject to the final paragraph below, payment in respect of any such Bond shall be made in accordance with Condition 8 (Taxation).

Any notice given by a Bondholder to exercise its put right pursuant to this Condition 7.2, once delivered, shall be irrevocable and the Issuer shall redeem all Bonds the subject of such notices delivered as aforesaid on the Relevant Event Put Date.

Any such notice may, in the sole discretion of the relevant Bondholder, specify that such Bondholder elects to receive Belgian Shares, US Shares or a combination thereof in lieu of being paid in cash the relevant Early Redemption Amount, in which case the Issuer shall issue or transfer and deliver Shares as if the Share Settlement Option had been exercised in respect of such amounts

(a)

the SSO Reference Date is the relevant Put SSO Reference Date,

(b)

the Amortised Payment Amount in respect of which the Share Settlement Option is exercised is such Early Redemption Amount,

(c)

the interest amount (if any) in respect of which the Share Settlement Option is exercised is the accrued and unpaid interest (if any) up to (but excluding) the Relevant Event Put Date,

(d)

the Scheduled SSO Delivery Date is (in the case of Belgian Shares) the second Brussels business day or (in the case of US Shares) the second New York business day, in each case following the first Brussels business day on which such Early Redemption Amount is capable of being determined in accordance with these Conditions;

(e)

paragraphs (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) of the definition of Share Settlement Liquidity Event shall not apply.

This Condition 7.2 will only become effective if and when the Change of Control Resolutions are approved and filed with the clerk’s office of the competent Enterprise Court in accordance with the provisions of the Belgian Companies and Associations Code.

7.3Redemption if the Change of Control Resolutions are not passed

If the Change of Control Resolutions are not, on or before the Longstop Date (a) adopted at a general meeting of the Shareholders of the Issuer, and (b) filed with the clerk’s office at the competent Enterprise Court in accordance with the provisions of the Belgian Companies and Associations Code, each Bondholder will have the right to require the Issuer to redeem in cash (but without prejudice to the rights of Bondholders to require the Issuer to issue or transfer and deliver Shares as provided below) each Bond, on the date falling 30 days after the Longstop Date at the Early Redemption Amount. The Issuer shall notify each Bondholder in accordance with Condition 16 (Notices) promptly upon becoming aware that it has not satisfied the requirements set out in (a) or (b) above.

Each Bondholder may, in its sole discretion, notify the Issuer in writing that such Bondholder elects to receive Belgian Shares, US Shares or a combination thereof in lieu of being paid in cash the relevant Early Redemption Amount, in which case the Issuer shall issue or transfer and deliver Shares as if the Share Settlement Option had been exercised in respect of such amounts due and on the basis that Condition 9.9 (Share Settlement) applied, mutatis mutandis, assuming for this purpose that:

(a)

the SSO Reference Date is the relevant Put SSO Reference Date,

(b)

the Amortised Payment Amount in respect of which the Share Settlement Option is exercised is such Early Redemption Amount,

(c)

the interest amount (if any) in respect of which the Share Settlement Option is exercised is the accrued and unpaid interest (if any) up to (but excluding) the Relevant Event Put Date,

(d)

the Scheduled SSO Delivery Date is (in the case of Belgian Shares) the second Brussels business day or (in the case of US Shares) the second New York business day, in each case following the first Brussels business day on which such Early Redemption Amount is capable of being determined in accordance with these Conditions;

(e)

paragraphs (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) of the definition of Share Settlement Liquidity Event shall not apply.

7.4No Other Redemption

The Issuer shall not be entitled to redeem or purchase the Bonds otherwise than as provided in this Condition 7 (Redemption of Bonds).

7.5Cancellation

All Bonds which are redeemed or in respect of which Bond Conversion Rights are exercised will be cancelled and may not be reissued or re-sold.

8.Taxation

All payments in respect of the Bonds (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Cash Alternative Amount as well as the attribution of interest in connection with the Share Settlement Option) will be made free and clear of, and be made without deduction or withholding for, or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by, or on behalf of, any tax jurisdiction applicable to the Issuer (including Belgium) or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax (or any other jurisdiction in which the Issuer may be domiciled or resident or to whose taxing jurisdiction it may be generally subject) (each a “Tax Jurisdiction”), unless deduction or withholding of such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges is required to be made by law (a “Tax Withholding”). In that event, the Issuer will pay such additional amounts as will result in the receipt by the Bondholders of such amounts as would have been received by them if no such Tax Withholding been required, except that no such additional amount shall be payable in relation to any payment in respect of any Bond:

(a)

to a Bondholder (or to a third party on behalf of a Bondholder) who is liable to such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges in respect of such Bond by reason of that Bondholder having some connection with a Tax Jurisdiction otherwise than merely by holding the Bond or by the receipt of amounts in respect of the Bond; or

(b)

where the Bondholder would have been able lawfully to avoid (but has not so avoided) such withholding or deduction by complying with any statutory requirement or by making a declaration of non-residence or any other claim for exemption to any tax authority, in each case following a reasonable request by the Issuer, or by providing the Issuer with a duly completed and signed Tax Status Certificate as provided in Schedule 9 of the Bond Instrument (Form of Tax Status Certificate), in each case following a written request by the Issuer at least 15 days before each Interest Payment Date.

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Conditions, any amounts to be paid on the Bonds by or on behalf of the Issuer will be paid net of any deduction or withholding imposed or required pursuant to an agreement described in Section 1471(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or otherwise imposed pursuant to sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (or any regulations thereunder or official interpretations thereof) or an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and another jurisdiction facilitating the implementation thereof (or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices implementing such an intergovernmental agreement) (any such withholding or deduction, a “FATCA Withholding”). Neither the Issuer nor any other person will be required to pay any additional amounts or otherwise indemnify a Bondholder in respect of FATCA Withholding.

(i)

in lieu of the payment in cash by the Issuer in respect of interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date (other than in respect of an Advanced Amortised Payment Amount) or, as the case may be, in respect of any Amortised Payment Amount (other than an Advanced Amortised Payment Amount) on the relevant Scheduled Amortisation Payment Date, as applicable, the Issuer shall organise an increase of its capital and the Bondholders shall subscribe to such capital increase by way of contribution in kind by the Bondholders of their receivable on the Issuer for such payment of the accrued interest and/or Amortised Payment Amount against issuance of the Deliverable Shares to the Bondholders as soon as practicable and in any event not later than such Interest Payment Date or Scheduled Amortisation Payment Date, as the case may be.

For the avoidance of doubt, any Deliverable Shares issued in accordance with this Condition 9.9(b)(ii) shall be fully paid-up;

(each of (i) and/or (ii), a “Share Settlement”). The applicable latest required date for delivery of the Deliverable Shares to Bondholders, as provided above, shall be the “Scheduled SSO Delivery Date” in respect thereof, provided that, (A) where proviso (i) or (ii) to the definition of “Reference Lowest Daily Market Price” applies to the Reference Lowest Daily Market Price required for the determination of the number of Deliverable Shares, the Scheduled SSO Delivery Date in respect thereof shall be the later of (1) the date determined as aforesaid and (2) the first date on which the adjusted Conversion Price referred to in proviso (i) or (ii) of such definition as aforesaid is capable of being determined in accordance with Condition 6.2 (Adjustment of Conversion Price), and (B) where the relevant Bondholder fails to give the Belgian/US Share Confirmation by the specified deadline as contemplated in Condition 9.9(e)(vi)(B), the Scheduled SSO Delivery Date shall be the later of (i) the date determined as provided above and (ii) (in the case of Belgian Shares) two Brussels business days or (in the case of US Shares) two New

(iv)

if any doubt shall arise as to the appropriate calculation of the Reference Lowest Daily Market Price, or if the Reference Lowest Daily Market Price cannot be determined as provided above, the Reference Lowest Daily Market Price shall be equal to such price as is determined in such other manner as an Independent Adviser shall consider to be appropriate to give the intended result.

Any Amortised Payment Amounts that are subject to cash payment shall be payable at the Cash Amortisation Price in respect thereof specified in Condition 7.1(b) (Principal Share Settlement Option Notice).

Upon delivery by the Issuer of an Interest Share Settlement Option Notice or Principal Share Settlement Option Notice, each Bondholder shall be required to confirm whether it elects for the Deliverable Shares to be issued or transferred and delivered in relation to such Share Settlement to be either US Shares or Belgian Shares or a combination thereof (the “Belgian/US Share Confirmation” in respect of such Share Settlement and such Bondholder), provided that such Belgian/US Share Confirmation shall be so given:

(A)

(where such Principal Share Settlement Option Notice or Interest Share Settlement Option Notice is given in relation to an Advanced Amortised Payment Amount or interest accrued and unpaid thereon, as the case may be) in the relevant Amortised Payment Advancement Notice; or

(B)

(in any other case) by giving notice in writing to the Issuer in accordance with Condition 16 (Notices) (which may be by email), with a copy to the Calculation Agent, no later than the Qualifying Business Day prior to the Interest Payment Date or Scheduled Amortisation Payment Date, as the case may be, in relation to which such Interest Share Settlement Option Notice or Principal Share Settlement Option Notice, as the case may be, was given (provided that if delivery of the Belgian/US Share Confirmation is made after 1:00 p.m. Brussels time or on a day which is not a Qualifying Business Day, such delivery shall be deemed for all purposes of these Conditions to have been made on the next following Qualifying Business Day), failing which proviso (B) to the definition of “Scheduled SSO Delivery Date” shall apply in respect of such Share Settlement.

(vii)

Deliverable Shares to be issued or transferred and delivered in relation to a Share Settlement will be issued or transferred and delivered in uncertificated form through the dematerialised securities trading system operated by Euroclear Belgium (in the case of Belgian Shares) or DTC (in the case of US Shares).

Where Deliverable Shares are to be issued or transferred and delivered through the Euroclear Belgium or DTC, they will be delivered to the account specified by the relevant Bondholder in the Payment Details.

10.Events of Default

(m)

any event occurs which under the laws of Belgium or other jurisdiction of incorporation of the Issuer or its Subsidiaries has an analogous effect to any of the events referred to in paragraphs (h) to (k) (inclusive).

Upon notice being given as provided in the first paragraph of this Condition 10 and the Bonds being due and repayable at the relevant Early Redemption Amount together with any accrued and unpaid interest to (but excluding) the date of such notice, each Bondholder may, in its sole discretion, upon giving notice to the Issuer no later than five London and Brussels business days after the giving of the notice described in the first paragraph of this Condition 10, require the Issuer to issue or transfer and deliver Shares in lieu of such amounts being paid in cash, provided that the Issuer shall not be required under any circumstance to issue or transfer and deliver any Shares under this paragraph to

the extent that such issuance or transfer and delivery would cause or result in Shares being required to be issued or transferred and delivered in violation of the Issuer’s Articles of Association or otherwise not permitted by applicable laws or regulations. Upon the exercise of such right by a Bondholder (and subject to the foregoing), the Issuer shall issue or transfer and deliver Shares in respect of such amounts due and on the basis that Condition 9.9 (Share Settlement Option) applied, mutatis mutandis, assuming for this purpose that the Share Settlement Reference Date is the relevant Put SSO Reference Date, the Amortised Payment Amount in respect of which the Share Settlement Option is exercised is such Early Redemption Amount, the interest amount (if any) in respect of which the Share Settlement Option is exercised is the accrued and unpaid interest (if any) up to (but excluding) the date of such notice, the Scheduled SSO Delivery Date is the first date on which the Early Redemption Amount is capable of being determined in accordance with these Conditions and that the occurrence of any Share Settlement Liquidity Event is ignored and deemed to not have occurred.

Following an Event of Default and the relevant Bondholders having given notice to the Issuer that the Bonds are due and payable, references in these Conditions and the Bond Instrument to the principal amount of the Bonds shall, unless the context otherwise requires, include the Early Redemption Amount.

An Event of Default shall be deemed to be continuing if it has not been remedied or waived.

11.Undertakings

Whilst any Conversion Right remains exercisable, the Issuer will, save with the approval of the holders of at least 90 per cent. in principal amount of the Bonds outstanding:

(a)

not issue or pay up any Securities, in either case by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves or for no consideration, other than:

(i)

by the issue of fully paid Shares or other Securities to Shareholders and other holders of shares of the Issuer which by their terms entitle the holders thereof to receive shares or other Securities on a capitalisation of profits or reserves; or

(ii)

by the issue of fully paid Shares, issued wholly, ignoring fractional entitlements, in lieu of the whole or part of a Dividend in cash; or

(iii)

by the issue of fully paid Shares to the Issuer itself for no consideration, to be further conveyed as treasury shares against consideration; or

(iv)

by the issue of Shares or any equity shares or other Securities to, or for the benefit of, employees or former employees, director or executive holding or formerly holding executive office (including directors holding or formerly holding executive office or non-executive office, consultants or former consultants or the personal service company of any such person) or their spouses or relatives, in each case of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries or any associated company or to a trustee or nominee to be held for the benefit of any such person, in any such case pursuant to an employee, contractor, director or executive share or option or incentive scheme whether for all employees, contractors, directors or executives or any one or more of them,

((i) to (iv) above each being a “Permitted Issue”), unless, in any such case, the same constitutes a Dividend or otherwise falls to be taken into account for a determination as to whether an adjustment is to be made to the Conversion Price pursuant to Condition 6.2 (Adjustment of Conversion Price), regardless of whether in fact an adjustment falls to be

made in respect of the relevant event (or would, but for the provisions of Condition 6.7 (Rounding Down and Notice of Adjustment to the Conversion Price) relating to roundings and minimum adjustments or the carry forward of adjustments, give rise to an adjustment to the Conversion Price);

(b)

not modify the rights attaching to the Shares with respect to voting, dividends or liquidation nor issue any other class of equity shares carrying any rights which are more favourable than the rights attaching to the Shares but so that nothing in this Condition 11(b) shall prevent:

(i)

any consolidation, reclassification, redesignation or subdivision of the Shares; or

(ii)

any modification of such rights which is not, in the opinion of an Independent Adviser, materially prejudicial to the interests of the holders of the Bonds; or

(iii)

any issue of equity shares where the issue of such equity shares results, or would, but for the provisions of Condition 6.7 (Rounding Down and Notice of Adjustment to the Conversion Price) relating to roundings and minimum adjustments or the carry forward of adjustments or Condition 6.2(l) (Modifications) or, where comprising Shares, the fact that the consideration per Share receivable therefor is at least 95 per cent. of the Current Market Price per Share at the relevant time for determination thereof pursuant to the relevant provisions of Condition 6.2 (Adjustment of Conversion Price), otherwise result, in an adjustment to the Conversion Price; or

(iv)

without prejudice to any rule of law or legislation, the conversion of Shares into, or the issue of any Shares in, uncertificated form (or the conversion of Shares in uncertificated form to certificated form) or the amendment of the constitutional documents of the Issuer to enable title to securities (including Shares) to be evidenced and transferred without a written instrument or any other alteration to the constitutional documents of the Issuer made in connection with the matters described in this Condition 11(b) or which is supplemental or incidental to any of the foregoing (including any amendment made to enable or facilitate procedures relating to such matters and any amendment dealing with the rights and obligations of holders of Securities, including Shares, dealt with under such procedures); or

(v)

any issue of equity shares or modification of rights attaching to the Shares, where prior thereto the Issuer shall have instructed an Independent Adviser to determine what (if any) adjustments should be made to the Conversion Price as being fair and reasonable to take account thereof and such Independent Adviser shall have determined either that no adjustment is required or that an adjustment resulting in a decrease in the Conversion Price is required and, if so, the new Conversion Price as a result thereof and the basis upon which such adjustment is to be made and, in any such case, the date on which the adjustment shall take effect (and so that the adjustment shall be made and shall take effect accordingly); or

(vi)

any alteration to the constitutional documents of the Issuer made in connection with the matters described in this Condition 11 or which is supplemental or incidental to any of the foregoing (including any amendment made to enable or facilitate procedures relating to such matters and any amendment dealing with the rights and obligations of holders of Securities, including Shares, dealt with under such procedures); or

82


Certain identified information has been omitted from this exhibit because it is not material and would likely cause competitive harm to the registrant if publicly disclosed. [***] indicates that information has been omitted.

(vii)

any amendment of the constitutional documents of the Issuer following or in connection with a Change of Control to ensure that any Bondholder exercising Conversion Rights where the Conversion Date falls on or after the occurrence of a Change of Control will receive, in whatever manner, the same consideration for the Shares arising on such exercise as it would have received in respect of any Shares had such Shares been submitted into, and accepted pursuant to, the relevant offer or tender (a “Change of Control Conversion Right Amendment”); or

(viii)

a Permitted Issue;

(c)

not issue any other class of equity shares nor any rights or options in respect thereof, in each case without the prior consent of the Majority Bondholders;

(d)

except as part of or in connection with or pursuant to any employee, contractor, director or executive share or option or incentive scheme (whether for all employees, contractors, directors or executives or any one or more of them), procure that no Securities which were originally issued (whether issued by the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer or procured by the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer to be issued or issued by any other person pursuant to any arrangement with the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer) without rights to convert into, or exchange or subscribe for, Shares shall subsequently be granted such rights exercisable at a consideration per Share which is less than 95 per cent. of the Current Market Price per Share at the relevant time for determination thereof pursuant to the relevant provisions of Condition 6.2 (Adjustment of Conversion Price) unless the same gives rise (or would, but for the provisions of Condition 6.7 (Rounding Down and Notice of Adjustment to the Conversion Price) relating to roundings and minimum adjustments or the carry forward of adjustments or Condition 6.2(l) (Modifications), give rise) to an adjustment to the Conversion Price and that at no time shall there be in issue Shares of differing nominal values, save where such Shares have the same economic rights;

(e)

not make any issue, grant or distribution or take or omit to take any other action if the effect thereof would be that, on the exercise of Conversion Rights or any Share Settlement Option, Shares could not, under any applicable law then in effect, be legally issued as fully paid;

(f)

not reduce its total issued shares, share capital, share premium account, or any uncalled liability in respect thereof, or any non-distributable reserves, except:

(i)

pursuant to the terms of issue of the relevant shares; or

(ii)

by means of a purchase or redemption of shares of the Issuer to the extent permitted by applicable law; or

(iii)

where the reduction does not involve any distribution of assets to Shareholders; or

(iv)

to create distributable or non-distributable reserves, or (as relevant) to create additional issue premiums;

(v)

absorb accounting losses recognised by the Issuer to create a reserve to absorb foreseeable accounting losses or to create an unavailable reserve in accordance with the Belgian Companies and Associations Code; or

(vi)

by way of transfer to reserves as permitted under applicable law; or

83

(vii)

where the reduction is permitted by applicable law and the Bondholders are advised by an Independent Adviser, acting as an expert, that in its opinion the interests of the Bondholders will not be materially prejudiced by such reduction; or

(viii)

where the reduction is permitted by applicable law and results (or, in the case of a reduction in connection with a Change of Control, will result) in (or would, but for the provisions of Condition 6.7 (Rounding Down and Notice of Adjustment to the Conversion Price) relating to roundings or the carry forward of adjustments, result in) an adjustment to the Conversion Price or is (or, in the case of a reduction in connection with a Change of Control, will be) otherwise taken into account for the purposes of determining whether such an adjustment should be made,

provided that, without prejudice to the other provisions of these Conditions, the Issuer may exercise such rights as it may from time to time be entitled pursuant to applicable law to purchase, redeem or buy back its Shares and any depositary or other receipts or certificates representing Shares without the consent of Bondholders;

(g)

if any offer is made to all (or as nearly as may be practicable all) Shareholders (or all (or as nearly as may be practicable all)) Shareholders other than the offeror and/or any parties acting in concert with the offeror (as defined in Article 3, paragraph 1, 5° of the Belgian law of 1 April 2007 on public takeover bids or any modification or re-enactment thereof) to acquire the whole or any part of the issued Shares, or if any person proposes a scheme with regard to such acquisition, give notice of such offer or scheme to the Bondholders in accordance with Condition 16 (Notices) at the same time as any notice thereof is sent to the Shareholders (or as soon as practicable thereafter) that details concerning such offer or scheme may be obtained from the Issuer and, where such an offer or scheme has been recommended by the board of directors of the Issuer, or where such an offer has become or been declared unconditional in all respects or such scheme has become effective, use all reasonable endeavours to procure that a like offer or scheme is extended to Bondholders and to the holders of any Shares issued during the period of the offer or scheme arising out of the exercise of the Conversion Rights pursuant to these Conditions (which like offer or scheme to Bondholders shall entitle Bondholders to receive the same type and amount of consideration they would have received had they held the number of Shares to which such Bondholders would be entitled assuming Bondholders were to exercise their Conversion Rights in a Relevant Event Period), provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, this undertaking of the Issuer shall not restrict or prevent the Issuer or its board of directors from co-operating in relation to, or recommending to its shareholders the acceptance of, such a takeover bid in circumstances where (despite the Issuer using all reasonable endeavours as set out above) the bidder does not extend to the Bondholders (or any of them) an offer or proposal as set out above;

(h)

use its best efforts to ensure that the Shares issued and/or transferred and delivered upon exercise of Conversion Rights (if any) will, as soon as is practicable, be listed and admitted to trading on the Relevant Stock Exchange and will be listed, quoted or dealt in, as soon as is reasonably practicable, on any other stock exchange or securities market on which the Shares may then be listed or quoted or dealt in (but so that this undertaking shall be considered as not being breached as a result of a Change of Control (whether or not recommended or approved by the board of directors of the Issuer) that causes or gives rise to, whether following the operation of any applicable compulsory acquisition provision or otherwise, (including at the request of the person or persons Controlling the Issuer as a result of the Change of Control) a de-listing of the Shares);

84


Certain identified information has been omitted from this exhibit because it is not material and would likely cause competitive harm to the registrant if publicly disclosed. [***] indicates that information has been omitted.

(i)

use its best efforts to ensure, at its own cost, that its issued and outstanding Shares are admitted to listing on a regulated, regularly operating, recognised stock exchange, multilateral trading facility or securities market (but so that this undertaking shall be considered as not being breached as a result of a Change of Control (whether or not recommended or approved by the board of directors of the Issuer) that causes or gives rise to, whether following the operation of any applicable compulsory acquisition provision or otherwise, (including at the request of the person or persons Controlling the Issuer as a result of the Change of Control) a de-listing of the Shares);

(j)

procure that it shall not become domiciled or resident in or subject generally to the taxing authority of any jurisdiction (other than Belgium or within Belgium) unless:

(i)

it would not thereafter be required pursuant to then current laws and regulations to make any greater withholding or deduction for or on account of any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of such jurisdiction or any applicable sub-division thereof or therein having power to tax; and

(ii)

holders of the Bonds (whether upon transfer of Bonds or otherwise) would not thereafter be required to pay any additional stamp, issue, transfer, documentary or other similar taxes and duties,

in each case in respect of any payment on or in respect of the Bonds or the Bond Documents, or the transfer of any Bonds, (as applicable) than would be the case were the Issuer to remain domiciled and resident solely within Belgium;

(k)

at all times:

(i)

maintain and ensure sufficient approvals and authorisations to enable the issue of Shares as required pursuant to these Conditions (and ignoring, for the purposes of this Condition 11(k) (Undertakings), the provisions of Condition 12 (Regulatory Share Cap)) upon the exercise of Conversion Rights and any Share Settlement Option in respect of the Bonds (including Further Bonds) which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the satisfaction of any requirements on the Issuer to publish a prospectus or other offer document in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 and/or the rules of any Relevant Stock Exchange; and

(ii)

keep available for issue, free from pre-emptive or other preferential rights out of its authorised but unissued Shares to enable the issue of Shares as required pursuant to these Conditions (and ignoring, for the purposes of this Condition 11(k), the provisions of Condition 12 (Regulatory Share Cap)) upon the exercise of Conversion Rights and any Share Settlement Option in respect of all the Bonds (including any Further Bonds) then outstanding and all other rights of subscription and exchange for Shares, to be satisfied in full.

(l)

with respect to any calculation, determination, verification or adjustment performed by the Calculation Agent or an Independent Adviser at the instruction of the Issuer, promptly notify or procure that the Issuer promptly notifies the Bondholders thereof including all relevant details of such calculation, determination or verification and, upon request from any Bondholder, confirm to the Bondholders (and with notice to the Calculation Agent) the Conversion Price then in effect and details of any relevant prior calculations, determinations, verifications or adjustments as such Bondholder may require;

85

(m)

promptly upon:

(i)

the Issuer becoming aware that a Free Float Event may have occurred (or would be likely to have occurred, if an Independent Adviser had been requested to make such determination), acting reasonably, based on publicly available information; or

(ii)

a request being made by the Majority Bondholders (acting reasonably),

the Issuer shall instruct an Independent Adviser to make a determination as to the number of Shares comprising the Free Float;

(n)

unless to do so shall be in breach of applicable law, promptly notify each Bondholder in accordance with Condition 16 (Notices) of the occurrence of any Share Settlement Liquidity Event, any Potential Event of Default or any Event of Default;

(o)

so far as permitted by applicable law and any applicable contractual obligations of confidentiality, at any time upon request from holders of least one-tenth in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding, as soon as practicable furnish to each Bondholder such information or materials as may be relevant to the operation of any of the provisions in the Bond Documents, including but not limited to any potential Relevant Event or Share Settlement Liquidity Event and the relevant supporting calculations, evidence of the Issuer’s due and punctual performance of its obligations under the Bonds and the Bond Documents, provided that the Issuer shall not (without first entering into a separate confidentiality agreement with the relevant Bondholders) furnish any such information to the relevant Bondholders if it is reasonably expected to constitute Restricted Information; and

(p)

(i)

use its best efforts to ensure that the Change of Control Resolutions are presented to the Shareholders of the Issuer in a general meeting of Shareholders before the Longstop Date; and

(ii)

promptly after such approval by the general meeting of Shareholders and before the Longstop Date, file a copy of such Change of Control Resolutions with the clerk’s office of the competent Enterprise Court in accordance with the provisions of the Belgian Companies and Associations Code.

12.Regulatory Share Cap

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuer shall not be obligated to settle any obligation under these Conditions in Shares (including any Share Settlement of interest or principal including by way of the Issuer treating an issue of Shares as a conversion of the relevant amounts due under the Bonds into Shares) if and to the extent such settlement in Shares would cause the issue, conversion or delivery of more Shares than permitted by applicable Belgian law, in which case the Issuer shall instead settle such obligations in cash as if it had made a Cash Alternative Election (and such Shares which are not issued owing to the foregoing are deemed to be Cash Settled Shares, and the date by which such Shares would otherwise have been required to be delivered deemed to be the Conversion Date for the purpose of calculating the Cash Alternative Amount) pursuant to Condition 6.10 (Cash Alternative Election) in respect thereof.

86


Certain identified information has been omitted from this exhibit because it is not material and would likely cause competitive harm to the registrant if publicly disclosed. [***] indicates that information has been omitted.

13.Prescription

Claims against the Issuer for payment in respect of the Bonds shall be prescribed and become void unless made within 10 years (in the case of principal or any other amount (other than interest)) or five years (in the case of interest) from the appropriate Relevant Date in respect of such payment.

Claims in respect of any other obligation in respect of the Bonds, including delivery of Shares, shall be prescribed and become void unless made within three years following the due date for performance of the relevant obligations.

14.Replacement of Bond Certificates

If any Bond Certificate is lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed, it may be replaced by the Issuer subject to and in accordance with Clause 4.6 (Replacement of Bond Certificates) of the Bond Instrument.

15.Amendment and Waiver

15.1Amendment

Subject to Condition 15.2 (Reserved Matters), the Bonds and the Bond Documents may be amended, or waivers or consents given in respect thereof, with the agreement of the Issuer and the Majority Bondholders and (without prejudice to the terms of the Calculation Agency Agreement) any such amendment, waiver or consent will be binding on all Bondholders and shall be notified by the Issuer to Bondholders as soon as practicable.

15.2Reserved Matters

The Issuer shall not agree to make any amendment, and no waiver or consent shall be effective, in respect of any Bondholder Reserved Matter, without the consent of the holders of at least 75 per cent. in principal amount of the Bonds outstanding.

15.3Voting Evidence

In relation to any consent to be provided by Bondholders in accordance with the Bonds or the relevant Bond Documents, the Issuer shall provide or procure the provision of evidence satisfactory to each Bondholder (in each case acting reasonably) that specifies:

(a)

the principal amount outstanding held by each Bondholder that delivered an instruction to consent, abstain or dissent to any proposal; and

(b)

the principal amount outstanding of Bonds held by or on behalf of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective affiliates (as referred to in the definition of “outstanding” in Condition 3 (Definitions)).

16.Notices

All notices required to be given to the Issuer or any Bondholder pursuant to these Conditions will (unless otherwise provided in these Conditions) be given:

(a)

in the case of the initial Bondholder, in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreement; and

or, in each case, to such other contact details as any Bondholder may subsequently provide in writing to the Issuer from time to time in accordance with the Bond Instrument.

Any notice given under these Conditions shall take effect, in the case of a letter, at the time of delivery, or in the case of email transmission, at the time of despatch (unless a delivery failure notification is received by the sender within 12 hours of sending such communication, in which case such notice shall be deemed not to have taken effect). If, only in respect of matters where Brussels business days are specified, such delivery or despatch is made after 5:00 p.m. (Brussels time) or on a day which is not a Brussels business day, such delivery shall be deemed to have been made on the next following Brussels business day, as applicable.

If any notice required to be given pursuant to these Conditions would otherwise contain any Restricted Information then the Issuer shall simultaneously with such notice make a public announcement containing all such Restricted Information such that the notice to the Bondholders shall not contain any Restricted Information, unless otherwise approved in writing by the Majority Bondholders, or the Issuer has delayed the disclosure of Restricted Information pursuant to Regulation 596/2014/EU, in which case the Issuer shall inform the Bondholders of the nature of such Restricted Information prior to providing the relevant notice and confirm in writing whether each Bondholder is willing to receive such Restricted Information and comply with applicable laws and regulations stipulating the receipt and restrictions related thereto.

The Issuer shall send a copy of all notices given by it to Bondholders (or a Bondholder) pursuant to these Conditions promptly to the Calculation Agent.

17.Beneficial Ownership of Shares

(a)

If, at any time, the Issuer shall become a Reporting Company in the United States then, notwithstanding any other provision of these Conditions or the Bond Documents, each Bondholder, together with its other Attribution Parties, shall not at any time own or acquire the beneficial ownership of more than 9.99 per cent. of the issued and outstanding Shares in the Issuer (the “Maximum Percentage”).

(b)

For the purposes of paragraph (a) above, the aggregate number of Shares beneficially owned by a Bondholder and its other Attribution Parties shall include the number of Shares held by such Bondholder and all other Attribution Parties, plus the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of Conversion Rights or Share Settlement Option in respect of any Bond, in each case with respect to which the determination of such provision is being made, but shall exclude Shares which would be issuable upon:

(i)

conversion of the remaining, non-converted portion of any Bond beneficially owned by the initial Bondholder or any of the other Attribution Parties, as the case may be, including any Share Settlement Option under the Bonds; and

(ii)

the exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other Securities (as defined in the Conditions) of the Issuer that are beneficially owned by a Bondholder or any other Attribution Party, subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in paragraph (a) above.

(c)

For the purposes of paragraph (a) above, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For the purposes of determining the number of outstanding Shares a Bondholder may acquire upon the conversion of any Bond or following any exercise of any Share Settlement Option under the Bonds without

exceeding the Maximum Percentage, such Bondholder may rely on the number of outstanding Shares as reflected in (i) the Issuer’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, Report on Form 6-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Issuer or (iii) any other written notice by the Issuer setting forth the number of Shares outstanding (in either case, the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”).

(d)

If the Issuer receives a Conversion Notice from a Bondholder at a time when the actual number of outstanding Shares is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Issuer shall notify such Bondholder in writing of the number of Shares then outstanding and, to the extent that such exercise of Conversion Rights would otherwise cause that Bondholder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Condition, to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the relevant Bondholder must notify the Issuer of a reduced number of Shares to be purchased pursuant to such exercise of Conversion Rights.

(e)

The Issuer shall promptly on demand by any Bondholder (and in any event by no later than one Brussels business day after demand) confirm in writing to such Bondholder the relevant number of Shares outstanding at such date. The number of outstanding Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of Securities of the Issuer, including any Bond and any Share Settlement Option, by the relevant Bondholder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance or transfer and delivery of Shares to a Bondholder upon conversion of any Bond or exercise of any Share Settlement Option results in that Bondholder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding Shares (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of Shares so issued or delivered by which that Bondholder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and such Bondholder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares.

(f)

The Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of any Bond in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by a Bondholder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. No prior inability to convert any Bond shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this Condition 17 with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. The provisions of this Condition shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Condition 17 to the extent necessary to correct this Condition 17 (or any portion of this Condition 17) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Condition 17 or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

(g)

The limitation contained in this Condition 17 may not be waived.

18.Further Issues

The Issuer may not create and issue Further Bonds except with the prior written approval of the Majority Bondholders. Any Further Bonds shall be constituted by a deed supplemental to the Bond Instrument.

19.Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999

Other than the Bondholders, no person shall have any right to enforce any term or condition of the Bonds under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, or, with respect to provisions governed by Belgian law under Condition 20 (Governing Law), under any similar applicable Belgian law (including, without limitation, under Article 5.107 of the Belgian Civil Code) and no such right shall be inferred or implied from the Conditions either.

20.Governing Law

These Conditions, the Bond Instrument and the Bonds and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with them are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, English law, except that the provisions relating to ranking, status and subordination in Condition 1.3 (Status) and Condition 1.4 (Subordination) and the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the Bondholders in respect thereof, and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with them, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Belgium.
