• | the relevant U.S. court did not have jurisdiction under English rules of private international law to give the judgment; |
• | the judgment was not final and conclusive on the merits. A foreign judgment which could be abrogated or varied by the court which pronounced it is not a final judgment. However, a judgment will be treated as final and conclusive even though it is subject to an appeal or if an appeal is actually pending, although in such a case a stay of execution in England and Wales may be ordered pending such an appeal. The foreign judgment will be treated as non-final and thus non-enforceable in England and Wales if execution in the foreign jurisdiction is stayed pending appeal. If the judgment is given by a court of a law district forming part of a larger federal system such as in the U.S., the finality and conclusiveness of the judgment in the law district where it was given alone are relevant in England and Wales. Its finality and conclusiveness in other parts of the federal system are irrelevant; |
• | the judgment is not for a definite sum of money or is for a sum payable in respect of taxes or other charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other penalty or otherwise based on a U.S. law that an English court considers to be a penal, revenue or other public law; |
• | the enforcement of such judgment would contravene public policy in England and Wales; |
• | the enforcement of the judgment is prohibited by statute (for example, section 5 of the U.K. Protection of Trading Interests Act 1980 prohibits the enforcement of foreign judgments for multiple damages and other foreign judgments specified by statutory instrument concerned with restrictive trade practices. A judgment for multiple damages is defined as a judgment for an amount arrived at by doubling, trebling or otherwise multiplying a sum assessed as compensation for the loss or damage sustained by the judgment creditor); |
• | the English proceedings were not commenced within the relevant limitation period; |
• | before the date on which the U.S. court gave judgment, a judgment has been given in proceedings between the same parties or their privies in a court in the U.K. or in an overseas court which the English court will recognize; |
• | the judgment has been obtained by fraud (on either the part of the party in whose favor judgment was given or on the part of the court pronouncing the judgment) or in proceedings in which the principles of natural justice were breached; |
TABLE OF CONTENTS
• | the bringing of proceedings in the relevant U.S. court was contrary to an agreement under which the dispute in question was to be settled otherwise than by proceedings in the U.S. courts (to whose jurisdiction the judgment debtor did not submit by counterclaim or otherwise); or |

• | the court of origin must have had jurisdiction both according to its own laws and to the Luxembourg conflict of jurisdictions rules; |
• | the foreign proceedings must have been regular in light of the laws of the country of origin; |
• | the rights of defense must not have been violated; |
• | the foreign court must have applied the law which is designated by the Luxembourg conflict of laws rules, or, at least, the judgment must not contravene the principles underlying these rules; |
• | the considerations of the foreign judgment as well as the judgment as such must not contravene Luxembourg international public policy; and |

• | bankruptcy proceedings (faillite), the opening of which is initiated by the Subsidiary Guarantor, the public prosecutor, by a court action initiated by any of its creditors or by Luxembourg courts ex officio. Other than in the case of suspension of such obligation following (i) the application for reorganization proceedings as of the filing of the petition (dépôt de requête), or (ii) any applicable stay measures, with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantor under the Luxembourg Insolvency Modernisation Act (as defined below), the managers/directors of the Subsidiary Guarantor have the obligation to file for bankruptcy within one month in case it is in a state of cessation of payment (cessation de paiements); |
• | following such a request, the Luxembourg courts having jurisdiction may open bankruptcy proceedings, if the Subsidiary Guarantor (i) is in cessation of payment (cessation de paiements) and (ii) has lost its commercial creditworthiness (ébranlement de crédit). If a court finds that these conditions are satisfied, it may also open ex officio bankruptcy proceedings, absent a request made by the Subsidiary Guarantor. The main effects of such proceedings are (i) the suspension of all measures of enforcement against the Subsidiary Guarantor, except, subject to certain limited exceptions, for secured creditors and (ii) the payment of the Subsidiary Guarantor’s creditors in accordance with their ranking upon the realization of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s assets; |
• | the reorganization by amicable agreement (réorganisation par accord amiable), whereby the Subsidiary Guarantor and at least two of its creditors mutually agree to reorganize all or part of the assets or the business of the Subsidiary Guarantor which agreement can be validated (homologué) by the District Court upon request of the Subsidiary Guarantor; and |
TABLE OF CONTENTS
• | the judicial reorganization procedure (réorganisation judiciaire), which may entail proceedings of the following types: |
• | a stay of proceedings (sursis) to enable an amicable settlement (accord amiable) within the reorganization by amicable agreement; |
• | obtain a restructuring plan by collective agreement/consent (réorganisation judiciaire par accord collectif), which shall be deemed to have been approved by the creditors entitled to vote if it receives, in each category of creditors, a favorable vote from a majority of the creditors within such category, representing at least half of the aggregate principal amount due in that category. Such plan, if approved by the court, is binding on all creditors. However, if rejected by such creditors, the court can still approve the plan and be binding on dissenting creditors authorized to vote (cram-down) if (i) the plan has been approved by at least one category of creditors entitled to vote, (ii) it is approved by ordinary creditors only, then the plan must ensure that extraordinary creditors are treated more favorably than the ordinary creditors, and (iii) no category can receive or retain more than the total amount of its claims; and |
• | a transfer by judicial decision (réorganisation judiciaire par transfert par décision de justice), whereby all or part of the Subsidiary Guarantor’s assets or business will be transferred to one or more third parties, which can be initiated either by the Subsidiary Guarantor or by the state prosecutor. |

• | certain amounts owed to the Luxembourg Revenue; |
• | value-added tax and other taxes and duties owed to the Luxembourg Customs and Excise; |
• | social security contributions; and |
• | remuneration owed to employees. |
• | pursuant to article 445 of the Luxembourg Code of Commerce (code de commerce), specified transactions (such as, in particular, the granting of a security interest for antecedent debts; the payment of debts which have not fallen due, whether payment is made in cash or by way of assignment, sale, set-off or by any other means; the payment of debts which have fallen due by any means other than in cash or by bill of exchange; the sale of assets or entering into transactions generally without consideration or with substantially inadequate consideration) entered into during the hardening period |
TABLE OF CONTENTS
• | pursuant to article 446 of the Luxembourg Code of Commerce, payments made for matured debts, as well as other transactions concluded for consideration during the hardening period, are subject to cancellation by the court upon proceedings instituted by the insolvency receiver if they were concluded with the knowledge of the bankrupt’s cessation of payments; such hardening period rule does not apply for financial collateral arrangements, netting and set-off arrangements subject to the Luxembourg Collateral Law, such as Luxembourg law pledges over shares or receivables. |
• | article 448 of the Luxembourg Code of Commerce and article 1167 of the Civil Code (action paulienne) gives the insolvency receiver (acting on behalf of the creditors) the right to challenge any fraudulent payments and transactions made prior to the bankruptcy, without any time limit. |
• | the parties to an agreement may contractually agree that the occurrence of a bankruptcy constitutes an early termination or acceleration event. However, such clauses may not always be effective and enforceable against the bankruptcy receiver taking into account the interest of the distressed company and the legally binding provisions of bankruptcy laws in Luxembourg; and |
• | intuitu personae contracts (i.e., contracts whereby the identity of the other party constitutes an essential element upon the signing of the contract) are automatically terminated as of the bankruptcy judgment since the debtor is no longer responsible for the management of the company. Parties can agree to continue to perform under such contracts. |
2. | Judicial reorganisation proceedings (réorganisation judiciaire) |
TABLE OF CONTENTS
• | at obtaining a stay (sursis) to enable an amicable settlement (accord amiable) within the reorganization by amicable agreement; |
• | at carrying out a judicial reorganization by collective agreement (réorganisation judiciaire par accord collectif); or |
• | at carrying out a judicial reorganization by transfer by court order (réorganisation par transfert par décision de justice). |
