2. Counter-Indemnity

each of the ‘ K ‘ Parties agrees to indemnify ‘ D ‘ and keep ‘ D ‘ indemnified on a several basis
against and only up to such ‘ K ‘ Party's Percentage Share of all demands, actions, proceedings,

Parties shall pay and reimburse such sums to ‘ D ‘ immediately on first written demand, after the
Bank exercises its rights under the Guarantee together with interest on such sums (both before

Parties to ‘ D ‘ in full, at the rate of three per cent per annum above the cost to ‘ D ‘ (as

payment of any amount due under this Deed and is expressed in a currency other than that in
which such amount is payable by the relevant ‘ K ‘ Party under this Deed, such relevant ‘ K

3. Security
3.1 In further consideration of ‘ D ‘ at the ‘ K ‘ Parties' request issuing the Guarantee in favour of the
Bank, ‘ A ‘ agrees to grant a security over its shares in the Company being the shares with
numbers 1 to [17,400] representing 17.755% of the entire shares in the Company (the "Charged
Shares") in the form of Fidusia (fiduciary security) in favour of ‘ D ‘ as security for the obligations
and liabilities of itself and the other ‘ K ‘ Parties under this Deed.
4. 3
3.2 If the security over the Charged Shares becomes enforceable and the ‘ K ‘ Parties or any of them
are in default of payment of any sum due under this Deed which is not remedied within 30 (thirty)
working days after the date on which ‘ D ‘'s written demand as mentioned in Article 2.1 above is
received by the ‘ K ‘ Parties (as stipulated in Clause 25 (Notices) of the JV Agreement), ‘ D ‘ shall
have a power of sale of the Charged Shares and shall be entitled to transfer all or any part of the
Charged Shares to ‘ E ‘ (or its nominee) at their Fair Market Value (as defined in the JV
Agreement) and apply the proceeds of sale in or towards the discharge of the liabilities of the ‘ K ‘
Parties (pro rata to the amounts of the ‘ K ‘ Parties’ respective liabilities outstanding immediately
before such transfer) under this Deed. The ‘ K ‘ Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agree and commit themselves to enter into a written agreement with ‘ D ‘ or ‘ E ‘ or its nominee
pertaining to the enforcement of the fiduciary security over the Charged Shares in such manner
immediately after the occurrence of an event of default by the ‘ K ‘ Parties (or any of them) under
this Deed.
3.3 Upon exercise of the power of sale by ‘ D ‘, each of the ‘ K ‘ Parties shall (and shall procure that
the directors of KTH appointed by them shall) exercise every right and power available to them to
procure that the Company shall record the change of the shareholders in its shareholders registry
and to issue a new share certificate in favour of ‘ E ‘ (or its nominee) accordingly and cause the
Company to do all other things necessary to effect the sale and transfer of the Charged Shares
including but not limited to obtaining the Indonesian Investment Coordinating Bo ard (BKPM)
approval, register at, notify or procure approvals from the Indonesian Ministry of Law and Human
Rights, Ministry of Forestry, Ministry of Trade and any other government ministry or agency of
any description.
3.4 Each of the JV Parties consents to the creation and grant of security over the Charged Shares for
the purposes of Clause 4.2(a)(vii) of the JV Agreement.
4. Authorisation to make payments
Each of the ‘ K ‘ Parties irrevocably authorises ‘ D ‘ to make any payments or to comply with any
valid demands from the Bank made under the Guarantee, provided that, if and to the extent that ‘
D ‘ is able to do so and without being in breach of its obligations under the Guarantee, ‘ D ‘ shall
notify the ‘ K ‘ Parties of any such demand prior to making any payment to the Bank. Any such
claim or demand shall be binding on the ‘ K ‘ Parties and shall, as between ‘ D ‘ and the ‘ K ‘
Parties, be accepted by the ‘ K ‘ Parties as conclusive evidence that ‘ D ‘ was liable to pay or
comply with it. The fiduciary security over the Charged Shares remains valid and enforceable until
all ‘ K ‘ Parties’ obligations under this Deed are satisfied.
5. Effect of other indemnities etc.
‘ D ‘’s rights under this Deed shall be in addition to and shall not be in any way prejudiced or
affected by any one or more other indemnities, guarantees, securities or other obligations which ‘
D ‘ may now or subsequently hold whether from the ‘ K ‘ Parties (or any of them) or from any
other person including (for the avoidance of doubt) any of ‘ D ‘’s rights under the JV Agreement.
Without prejudice to the respective rights of the Parties under the JV Agreement, the liabilities
and obligations of each of the ‘ K ‘ Parties under this Deed will remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding any act, omission, neglect, event or matter of any nature, until the full, prompt
and complete performance of all the terms of this Deed, including the proper and valid payment
of all amounts that may become due to ‘ D ‘ under this Deed. Without prejudice to the generality
of the foregoing:
(a) Subject to notification to and consultation with the other Parties, ‘ D ‘ may at any time
give time for payment or grant any other indulgence or give up, deal with, vary, exchange
or abstain from perfecting or enforcing any other indemnity, guarantee, security or other
5. 4
obligation held by ‘ D ‘ at any time or discharge any party to them, or realise any of them,
or compound with, accept compositions from or make any other arrangements with the
Bank or with any other person or persons as ‘ D ‘ may think fit, without affecting the
rights, obligations and liability of the ‘ K ‘ Parties (or any of them) under this Deed; and
(b) ‘ D ‘ may at any time give time for payment or grant any other indulgence to any one or
more of the ‘ K ‘ Parties, with or without reference to any of the other ‘ K ‘ Parties, or give
up, deal with, vary, exchange or abstain from perfecting or enforcing any indemnity,
guarantee, security or other obligation held by ‘ D ‘ at any time from any ‘ K ‘ Party
(whether under this Deed or otherwise) or discharge any ‘ K ‘ Party, or realise any of
them, or compound with, accept compositions from or make any other arrangements with
any ‘ K ‘ Party as ‘ D ‘ may think fit, without in any such case affecting the liability of any
other of the ‘ K ‘ Parties under this Deed.
6. Resorting to other means of payment
‘ D ‘ may (but is not bound to) resort for its own benefit to any other means of payment, at any
time and in any order that ‘ D ‘ thinks fit, and provided that, where it is reasonably practicable to
do so, ‘ D ‘ gives prior written notification to the ‘ K ‘ Parties, without in consequence affecting the
liability of any ‘ K ‘ Party, and ‘ D ‘ may enforce its rights under this Deed either for the payment
of the ultimate balance after resorting to other means of payment or for the balance due at any
time notwithstanding that other means of payment have not been resorted to and in the latter
case without entitling any ‘ K ‘ Party to any benefit from such other means of payment so long as
any money remains due or owing or payable (whether actually or contingently) from or by the ‘ K ‘
Parties to ‘ D ‘ under this Deed.
7. Modification etc. of the Guarantee
The Guarantee may from time to time be modified, amended, renewed, extended or replaced,
either in accordance with its original terms or with agreement of ‘ D ‘ and the Bank, provided,
however, that ‘ D ‘ shall provide the ‘ K ‘ Parties with the draft of such modification, amendment,
renewal, extension or replacement, where (a) it is reasonably practicable to do so, for discussion
by the Parties prior to ‘ C ‘ning of the same and (b) the said modification, amendment, renewal,
extension or replacement constitutes material adverse change to the principal terms of the
Guarantee. The counter indemnity given by the ‘ K ‘ Parties under this Deed shall operate as
continuing security for the benefit of ‘ D ‘ and the liability of the ‘ K ‘ Parties under this Deed shall
continue to apply to the Guarantee as so modified, amended, renewed, extended or replaced
from time to time.
8. Discharges and releases avoided
8.1 If at any time ‘ D ‘ grants any of the ‘ K ‘ Parties a discharge or release in respect of liabilities
under this Deed or enters into any agreement with the ‘ K ‘ Parties or any of them concerning any
such liabilities, such discharge, release or agreement shall be void, and shall be deemed to have
been given or entered into by ‘ D ‘ on the footing or express condition that it would be void, if any
act or thing in reliance upon or on the faith of which ‘ D ‘ gave such discharge or release or
entered into that agreement shall be subsequently avoided by or in pursuance of any provision or
rule of law.
8.2 Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 8.1 above, any discharge or release that ‘ D ‘ may at
any time grant the ‘ K ‘ Parties (or any of them) and other arrangement between ‘ D ‘ and the ‘ K ‘
Parties (or any of them) (collectively a "Discharge") shall, whether or not expressly so stated, be
deemed to have been given or entered into on the basis that if any assurance, security or
payment in reliance on which the Discharge is made shall subsequently be avoided pursuant to
6. 5
the provisions of any law relating to liquidation, administration, bankruptcy, insolvency or
creditors' rights generally, the Discharge itself shall be void and its rights against the ‘ K ‘ Parties
under this Deed shall be enforceable as if the Discharge and such assurance, security or
payment had never been made or given.
