any security interest in the Share Pledges under the Indenture shall, at any time, cease to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the Indenture) for any reason other than satisfaction in full of all obligations of the Company under the Indenture or the release of any such security interest in accordance with the Indenture or any such security interest created thereunder shall be declared invalid or unenforceable or the Company shall assent that any such security is invalid or unenforceable or any pledgor disaffirms its obligations under the provisions of the Indenture relating to the Share Pledges; or
 
 
(12)
a default under any other Indebtedness that is secured by the Collateral if such default results in the creditors under such Indebtedness commencing an enforcement action of their security rights over the Collateral.
 
The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.
 
However, a Default under clause (5) above will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee provides to the Company, or the holders of 25% in principal amount of the outstanding New Notes provides to the Company and the Trustee, notice of the Default and such Default is not cured within the time specified by clause (5) above after receipt of such notice.  Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default.”
 
Acceleration: If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clause (8) above) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding New Notes by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of such holders of the New Notes shall, declare the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the New Notes to be due and payable.  Upon such a declaration, such principal and accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable immediately.  In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the New Notes because an Event of Default described in clause (7) above has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the New Notes shall be automatically annulled if the payment default or cross acceleration triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (7) above shall be remedied or cured or waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 20 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if (x) the annulment of the acceleration of the New Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (y) all existing Events of Default, except non-payment of principal or interest on the New Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the New Notes, have been cured or waived.  If an Event of Default described in clause (8) above occurs and is continuing, the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the New Notes will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders of the New Notes.
 
Notices of Default: If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder of New Note notice of the Default within 90 calendar days after the Trustee actually knows of such Default. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal or interest on any New Note, the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as it determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes.
 
The Company will deliver to the Trustee, as soon as practicable after the Company becomes aware of a Default or should have reasonably become aware of a Default, written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of any Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

(b)
Authentication and Delivery of New Notes; Use of Proceeds.
 
The New Notes may be executed by manual or facsimile signature by the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, any Executive Vice President, any Senior Vice President, any Vice President or the Secretary of the Company.
 
The New Notes will not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authentication agent appointed by the Trustee as described below) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the New Note.  The signature will be conclusive evidence that the New Note has been authenticated under the Indenture.
 
The Trustee will authenticate and make available for delivery New Notes for original issue, upon receipt of a written order or orders of the Company signed by the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, any Executive Vice President, any Senior Vice President, any Vice President or the Secretary of the Company, along with any other documents that may be required under the Indenture.  Such order of the Company will specify the amount of New Notes to be authenticated and will state the date on which such New Notes are to be authenticated.
 
The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate the New Notes.
 
The Company will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of the New Notes other than the Old Notes tendered in exchange for the New Notes.
 
 
(c)
Release and Substitution of Any Property Subject to the Lien of the Indenture.
 
The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors agree to secure the full and punctual payment when due and the full and punctual performance of their obligations under the Indenture and the New Notes by a fifth-ranking pledge of shares of Central European Media Enterprises N.V. and of the shares of CME Media Enterprises B.V. owned by Central European Media Enterprises N.V. (the “Collateral”).  The share pledges in respect of the Collateral are referred to as the “Share Pledges.”
 
Subject to the second following paragraph, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and any of the Existing Debt Agreements remain in effect, any Share Pledge will be released only if (A)(i) the Subsidiary whose Capital Stock is pledged is disposed of (whether by merger, amalgamation or consolidation, the sale of its Capital Stock or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets (other than by a lease)) to a Person that is not the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and (ii) all related applicable provisions of the Existing Debt Agreements have been fully complied with, and (iii) all other security interests in respect of such Subsidiary’s Capital Stock securing the Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary are released or (B) the Company redesignates the Subsidiary whose Capital Stock is pledged as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Existing Debt Agreements.
 
Subject to the following paragraph, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and none of the Existing Debt Agreements remain in effect, any Share Pledge will be released only if (A)(i) the Subsidiary whose Capital Stock is pledged is disposed of (whether by merger, amalgamation or consolidation, the sale of its Capital Stock or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets (other than by a lease)) to a Person that is not the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor and (ii) if applicable, all other security interests in respect of such Subsidiary’s Capital Stock securing the Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor are released.
 
All of the Collateral will be released upon the discharge of the New Notes in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture governing its discharge.

 
12

 
 
 
(d)
Satisfaction and Discharge of the Indenture.
 
When (i) the Company delivers to the Registrar all outstanding New Notes (other than lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken New Notes that have been replaced pursuant to the Indenture) for cancellation or (ii) all outstanding New Notes have become due and payable, whether at maturity, upon a repurchase upon a Fundamental Change or upon conversion of the New Notes, and the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee money (or, if applicable, Conversion Settlement Consideration) sufficient to pay the consideration due on the such New Notes at their maturity or upon their repurchase or conversion, including (if applicable) accrued and unpaid interest as provided in the Indenture, and in each such case the Company pays all other sums payable under the Indenture by the Company, then the Indenture (except for certain provisions that will be discharged only after all of the New Notes have been paid in full or are to survive such discharge) will cease to be of further effect. The Trustee will acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of the Company.
 
 
(e)
Evidence Required to be Furnished by the Company to the Trustee as to Compliance with the Conditions and Covenants Provided for in the Indenture.
 
The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 calendar days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, an Officers’ Certificate stating whether or not, to the knowledge of such Officers, any Default has occurred and is continuing and if so, describing each Default, its status and the action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.
