SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ENFORCEMENT OF JUDGMENTS
The Issuer is a direct wholly owned finance subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor incorporated in
Ireland, and the Parent Guarantor is a company also incorporated in Ireland. The Subsidiary
Guarantors are incorporated in Ireland, The Netherlands, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom,
Poland, Guernsey, Sweden and Denmark. All of the directors and executive officers of the Issuer, the
Parent Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors reside outside the United States. In addition, all of
the assets of the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors are located outside the
United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the
United States upon the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor, any of the Subsidiary Guarantors or any of their
directors and executive officers, or to enforce against them, judgments of U.S. courts predicated upon
civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal or state securities laws.
If a judgment is obtained in a U.S. court against the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor, any Subsidiary
Guarantor, any directors or executive officers, investors will need to enforce such judgment in
jurisdictions where the relevant company has assets. Even though the enforceability of U.S. court
judgments outside the United States is described below for Ireland, The Netherlands, Germany, Italy,
the United Kingdom, Poland, Sweden and Denmark, you should consult with your own advisors in any
pertinent jurisdictions as needed to enforce a judgment in those countries or elsewhere outside the
United States.
The following discussion with respect to the enforceability of certain U.S. court judgments in
Ireland is based upon advice provided to us by our Irish legal advisers, William Fry. Ireland and the
United States currently do not have a treaty providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of
judgments.
A judgment obtained in the courts of any of the States in the United States or of any federal court
in the United States would not automatically be enforced by the courts of Ireland. In order to enforce
such a judgment in Ireland, legal process must be initiated before a court of competent jurisdiction in
Ireland. An Irish court will normally recognize and enforce judgment without retrial or examination of
the merits of the case provided that:
(i) judgment was not obtained or alleged to have been obtained by fraud;
