12.5     In the event that one or more provisions of this Pledge Agreement is considered illegal, invalid or unenforceable, this Pledge Agreement shall be interpreted as if it did not contain that provision and the nullity or invalidity of the said provision shall not affect the validity or the performance of the other provisions of this Pledge Agreement, which shall nevertheless remain legal and valid and shall continue to be in force.

12.6     The Parties to this Pledge Agreement recognize that this Pledge Agreement has the sole objective of establishing the present security for the benefit of the Beneficiary and does not have the objective or effect of modifying the rights and obligations set out in the Loan Agreement and/or the Supplemental Agreement.
