(b)

The NFP as at 30 June 2025 plus/minus Original Variation Working Capital.

3.4.2

For the purpose of the determination of the Variation NFP and the Actual Variation Working Capital and, therefore, the Definitive Purchase Price:

The Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers’ Representative, no later than 90 (ninety) Business Days following the Closing Date, a statement showing its calculation of (i) the Variation NFP and the Actual Variation Working Capital prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles, and as supplemented by the criteria and guidelines set forth, respectively, in Annex 1.2.58 and Annex 1.2.89, and (ii) the amount of the Definitive Purchase Price (the “Closing Statements”) together with all reasonable supporting documentation and explanations, enabling the Sellers to verify and assess the basis and accuracy of such calculations;

For a period of 60 (sixty) Business Days following receipt of the Closing Statements (the “Review Period”), the Sellers shall have the right to review the Closing Statements. Within the Review Period, the Sellers, through the Sellers’ Representative may, if they determine that the Closing Statements do not comply with the Accounting Principles as supplemented by the criteria and guidelines set forth, respectively, Annex 1.2.58 and Annex 1.2.89, object to the items of the Closing Statements that are relevant for the calculation of the Definitive Purchase Price, by delivering to the Purchaser a written statement containing available data, information and documents setting forth their objections to the relevant items of the Closing Statements, it being understood that such objections shall be valid and effective to the extent

19


they reasonably identify the disputed items, even if not exhaustive or fully detailed (the “Notice of Objections”). The Sellers shall be entitled, upon reasonable notice, to access the books and records of the Companies and to obtain copies or extracts thereof at their own cost, in order to verify, assess and make their own determination of the Closing Statements and the Purchaser shall (and shall procure that the Companies shall) provide all reasonable cooperation and assistance in connection therewith;

(c)

If no Notice of Objections is delivered by the Sellers, through the Sellers’ Representative, to the Purchaser by the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Statements and, therefore, the Definitive Purchase Price as calculated pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Parties and, therefore, to have become final and binding on them; and

(d)

If the Sellers’ Representative delivers to the Purchaser a Notice of Objections prior to the expiration of the Review Period, the Purchaser and the Sellers shall meet within 15 (fifteen) Business Days from the delivery of the Notice of Objection to negotiate in good faith, for a period of no longer than 15 (fifteen) Business Days from the day they first meet (the “Conciliation Period”), to resolve such objections set forth in the Notice of Objections, and, if the same are so resolved within the Conciliation Period, the Closing Statements and the Definitive Purchase Price derived therefrom, with such changes as have been agreed to in writing during the Conciliation Period between the Sellers and the Purchaser, shall become final and binding on the Parties. If the Parties are unable to resolve the objections set forth in the Notice of Objections before the expiration of the Conciliation Period, the remaining disputed items of the Closing Statements shall, at the request of either the Purchaser or the Sellers, be referred to the Expert, who shall act as an expert (perito contrattuale) and not as an arbitrator (arbitratore) pursuant to articles 1349, first paragraph, and 1473 of the Civil Code and make a decision in the interest of the Parties in respect of the disputed items in good faith and in a diligent and fair manner (con equo apprezzamento e non con mero arbitrio), in accordance with the Accounting Principles as supplemented by the criteria and guidelines set forth in this Agreement and Annex 1.2.58 and Annex 1.2.89.

3.4.3

If appointed, the Expert shall:

(a)

Review and consider only the remaining disputed items of the Closing

20


Statements not already agreed between the Parties and shall prepare a schedule showing its calculation of the Variation NFP and the Actual Variation Working Capital and Definitive Purchase Price on the basis of the provisions of this Agreement (including for the avoidance of doubt the Accounting Principles as supplemented by the criteria and guidelines set forth in Annex 1.2.58 and Annex 1.2.89), relevant to such disputed items;

(b)

Abide to the definition of NFP and Working Capital contained in this Agreement and to the criteria and guidelines set forth, respectively, in Annex 1.2.58 and Annex 1.2.89, without the power to make decisions on an equitable basis (senza facoltà di assumere determinazioni in via equitativa);

(c)

Conduct and deliver his determination in the English language;

(d)

Copy each Party on any communication between the Expert and the other Parties. Whenever the Expert wishes to meet or discuss with a Party, it will also enable the other Party to participate in such meeting or discussion. The Expert shall take in all due account any observations, remarks and arguments made in writing by the Parties and/or their respective consultants, giving a brief outline of the reasons for their upholding or rejection, provided that all Parties have been given the same possibility to provide observations, remarks and arguments.

3.4.4

The Purchaser and the Sellers shall each make readily available to the Expert (and shall cause their respective representatives to make readily available to the Expert) a copy of the relevant sections of this Agreement and all relevant working papers, if any, in the possession of each of them and that were used to prepare or review the Closing Statements or the Notice of Objections, as the case may be. The Purchaser shall, and shall procure that the Companies shall, grant the Expert full access to all books, records and accounting personnel of the Companies, and shall provide all information, data and explanations reasonably requested by the Expert for the purpose of performing its determinations, including access to management accounts and supporting documentation. The Expert and its representatives shall, prior to such access, enter into a customary confidentiality agreement with the Parties.

3.4.5

The Expert shall render its decision on the Variation NFP and the Actual Variation Working Capital and the Definitive Purchase Price as soon as practicable and in no event later than 30 (thirty) Business Days after its acceptance of the appointment (which, for the sake of clarity, shall be executed

in writing by both the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative in all cases except when appointed the President of the CAM (Camera Arbitrale di Milano). The Parties agree that the determinations of the Expert including the Definitive Purchase Price derived therefrom shall be final and binding upon the Parties and shall not be subject to any further challenge by them pursuant to article 1349, first paragraph, of the Civil Code except in the case of fraud (dolo) or manifest inequity or error (iniquità o errore manifesto).

3.5

Escrow

3.5.1

For the purpose of securing the rights of the Purchaser towards the Sellers in relation (i) to the breach and/or non-fulfilment of any of their obligations hereunder, including but not limited to any untruthfulness or inaccuracy of the Sellers’ Warranties and/or any breach by any of the Sellers of their obligations under this Agreement, including but not limited to those under Clause 7 (Indemnification) and Clause 8 (Protective Covenants), on the Closing Date the Purchaser shall pay a portion of the Provisional Purchase Price representing the Escrow Amount on the Escrow Account in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and of the Escrow Agreement. All costs, fees and expenses, as well as related taxes, charges or withholding obligations, if any, associated to the Escrow Agreement shall be borne the Purchaser.

3.5.2

It is understood amongst the Parties that the Escrow Amount shall not limit the Sellers’ indemnification obligations to the Purchaser under this Agreement, but in the event the Purchaser incurs any Loss for which it is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, such Loss shall, to the maximum extent possible under the applicable Law, be satisfied first out of the Escrow Amount (in any case without prejudice to Clause 7.7.3). Accordingly, the Purchaser shall not seek payment directly from the Sellers unless and until the Escrow Amount has been fully depleted or the Escrow Agreement is terminated and shall not be entitled to offset or withhold any other payment due to the Sellers under this Agreement on account of any such alleged Loss prior to such depletion or termination, in any case without prejudice to Clause 7.7.3.

3.6.3

The Parties further agree and acknowledge that:

(a)

In the event of any delay in payment by either Omars or the Purchaser thereunder, the defaulting party shall, pursuant to article 1382 of the Civil Code, pay liquidated damages for delay (penale da ritardo) equal to 2% per annum of the outstanding amount of the Andreis Receivable, calculated on a daily basis on a 365-day year for each day of delay. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the provisions set out under Clause 8.3.3 apply mutatis mutandis to the above liquidated damages for delay;

(b)

Upon reasonable request by Andreis, at any time after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall procure that Omars, at cost and expense of Andreis, enters into an amendment agreement to the Property Deed of Sale with Andreis in order to amend the due date of the deferred portion of the relevant consideration (corresponding to the Andreis Receivable), so that the entire outstanding amount shall become due and payable in full on the date falling on 3 June 2026, for the sake of coherence with the provision under Clause 3.6.1.

In any case, Andrea represents and warrants that the fact that the Pending Permits are still to be obtained does not hinder the validity of the existing permits concerning the portion of the Real Estate Asset making the object of the Existing Lease Agreement and therefore does not prevent the execution of the New Lease Agreement at the expiry of the Term, as provided under Clause 4.7.2 below.  As soon as the Pending Permits have been obtained, but in any case within 2 (two) months from the Closing Date (the “Term”), the Parties shall procure, each within their own area of responsibility, that Andrea and Omars terminate the Existing Lease Agreement and execute the New Lease Agreement.

the transfer of the Hartmann Shares shall be made, to the maximum extent legally possible, on an “as is, where is” basis, with no adjustment, deferred payment or earn-out mechanism, except for the Proceeds Advance Distribution as set out under Clause 4.8.5. Omars shall not be required to make, nor be deemed to have made, any representation, warranty or indemnity, except as may be mandatorily required by applicable German Law.

4.8.2

The Purchaser shall act in good faith and cooperate reasonably with the Sellers to ensure that Omars takes all actions and performs all steps necessary or desirable to consummate the Hartmann Divestment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement provided that the Parties acknowledge that the sale and transfer of the Hartmann Shares in accordance with Clause 4.8.1 (i) requires a consent resolution with a majority of 75% (seventy-five percent) of Hartmann’s shareholders’ meeting (based on an invitation to a shareholders’ meeting prepared by the Sellers), which could be prevented and/or be challenged by the co-shareholder Mr. Carsten Walther, (ii) triggers pre-emptive rights of Mr. Carsten Walther and Martinotti with respect to the Hartmann Shares, (iii) may not be possible if the bankruptcy proceedings will be finalized and Hartmann will be deleted from the commercial register before the end of the Hartmann Interim Period, and (iv) could – therefore – fail due to reasons outside of the responsibility and control of the Purchaser, the Sellers and Omars. The Parties agree that any liability of the Purchaser in connection with the Hartmann

29


Divestment shall be excluded to the largest extent possible.

4.8.3

From the Closing Date until completion of the Hartmann Divestment (the Hartmann Interim Period”), if and insofar as the they have any such influence, the Parties shall cause Hartmann to remain inactive and not to undertake any material business activity or transaction without the prior written consent of the Sellers. To the extent requested by the Sellers in order to facilitate the Hartmann Divestment, Omars shall participate in the relevant shareholders’ meeting of Hartmann and vote in favour of the approval of the redemption (Einziehung der Geschäftsanteile) of the shares held by Mr. Carsten Walther as a result of his withdrawal dated 29 June 2016 from Hartmann’s share capital, and to approve any related or consequential resolutions to complete the redemption (the “Shares Redemption”); Clause 4.8.2 applies mutatis mutandis.

4.8.4

In order to enable the Sellers to efficiently manage Omars’ rights in the context of the Hartmann bankruptcy and to preserve their related interests in the Hartmann Shares, as soon as practicable after Closing, the Purchaser shall cause Omars to grant to Martinotti an irrevocable power of attorney, to the extent legally permissible, in any event terminable only for good cause, substantially in the form set out in Annex 4.8.4, authorizing him with faculty of sub-delegation to Rechtsanwältin Stefanie Strümpfler, to exercise, in the name and on behalf of Omars, upon prior consent of Omars (which cannot be unreasonably withheld or delayed), all shareholders’ rights relating to the Hartmann Shares (including, without limitation, voting rights and any other shareholder prerogatives), and any other rights of Omars in connection with the Hartmann bankruptcy proceedings, and to represent Omars in all discussions with the relevant bankruptcy receiver.For the avoidance of doubt, such Omars’ consent shall be deemed granted with respect to the exercise by Martinotti or Rechtsanwältin Stefanie Strümpfler of Omars’ shareholder rights in relation to the Hartmann Shares at any shareholders’ meeting where the subject matter of the resolution is (i) the election of a chairperson and the approval of the transfer of the Hartmann Shares to Mr Andreas Schmidt, Birkenwerder/Germany, and/or the (ii) Share Redemption. The Purchaser further agrees that Omars shall be represented by an authorized representative at the notarial appointment for the valid transfer of the Hartmann Shares.

4.8.5

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if during the Hartmann Interim Period the Hartmann bankruptcy receiver (or any other competent authority) distributes any proceeds of the Hartmann insolvency proceedings in favor of Omars (the Proceeds Advance Distribution), such proceeds shall be retained by Omars and subsequently transferred to the Designee as an earn-out connected to the transfer of the Hartmann Shares, net of any applicable Taxes incurred by Omars.

30


4.8.6

The Sellers shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Purchaser from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by the Purchaser or by Omars, directly or indirectly, arising out of or relating to (i) the ownership or holding by Omars of the Hartmann Shares during the period between the Closing Date and the completion of the Hartmann Divestment, or (ii) the implementation of the Hartmann Divestment. For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification under this Clause 4.8.6 shall not be subject to any monetary limitation or other limitation included in this Agreement

4.9

Statutory Auditors of Omars

4.9.1

The Parties acknowledge and agree that:

(a)

Accordingly, the Sellers shall not be required to use reasonable efforts to cause any such statutory auditor to resign before the Closing;

(b)

On the date on which the above statutory auditors are replaced, the Purchaser undertakes (1) to provide each statutory auditor being replaced with a written waiver and release undertaking, substantially in the form of Annex 4.2.1(d)(iv), and (2) to cause that a shareholders’ meeting of Omars is duly convened and held and resolves upon a discharge and release substantially in the form set out under Annex 4.2.1(d)(iii), in both cases as amended to reflect their role as statutory auditor.

4.10

31


4.11

D&O run-off

The Parties undertake to discuss in good faith, after the Closing, on the basis of market quotations at arm’s length and for a reasonable post-Closing period of time, the opportunity for the Company to take out a so called “run-off” extension of either the existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy no. 9402/BL180 with AIG Europe S.A. (the “D&O Policy”) or the new D&O policy that will be taken-out after Closing, as to enable each director of Omars resigning at the Closing Date and for the statutory auditors ending their office at the approval of Omars financial statement as at 31 December 2025 – who are covered by the D&O Policy at the date of this Agreement – to make claims arising out of any event which occurred prior to the Closing Date under such policy.

Indemnification by the Sellers

7.1.1

From the Closing Date the Sellers shall indemnify and hold the Purchaser – or upon its request, the relevant Company – harmless, on the terms and subject to the exclusions, deductions and limitations under this Agreement (including this Clause 7 (Indemnification)):

(a)

In respect of any Loss incurred and suffered directly by the Purchaser and/or by the Companies as a result of any untruthfulness or inaccuracy of the Fundamental Warranties; and

(b)

In respect of any Loss incurred and suffered by the Purchaser/or by the Companies and arising from the breach of any covenant and undertaking upon the Sellers under this Agreement; and

(c)

In respect of any Loss incurred and suffered directly by the Purchaser and/or by the Companies as a result of any untruthfulness or inaccuracy of the Business Warranties.

7.1.2

The indemnification for the Losses above shall be made upon the terms provided for hereunder (the “Indemnification”) and shall be increased by an amount sufficient to ensure that the Purchaser and/or any Company receives, after the deduction or payment of any applicable Taxes being due and not recoverable, the full amount of the Indemnification as if no such Taxes had been payable (“gross-up”).

7.1.3

The Purchaser and the Sellers agree to treat any payment made pursuant to this Clause as an adjustment to the Definitive Purchase Price, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law.

7.2

Amount of the Indemnification

7.2.1

For purposes of this Agreement, the amount of the Indemnification shall be calculated after deduction of:

(a)

Any insurance proceeds actually recovered and, in general, any recoveries paid to the Purchaser and/or to the Companies by any third parties (including insurers, contractors, or other responsible parties) with respect to such matter which is the subject matter of a request of

35


Indemnification, net of reasonable costs, Taxes and expenses actually incurred in obtaining such payments or recoveries, provided, however that the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Companies to, take all reasonable steps and actions – in the interest of the Companies – to pursue and obtain such recoveries or payments from the relevant third parties (including giving required notices to insurers, preserving rights under the applicable insurance policy, and ensuring no lapse or forfeiture of cover). In case the Sellers have already paid the Indemnification pursuant to this Agreement and the Purchaser and/or the Companies receive sums from third parties on the aforementioned grounds, the Sellers shall have the right to be refunded by the Purchaser and/or the Companies of the amounts received by the latter within 10 (ten) Business Days from the collection. Without prejudice to the Sellers’ right to receive the aforementioned refund, the existence of any potential right to refund, recovery or indemnification shall not limit or affect in any way the Purchaser’s right to request and obtain an Indemnification pursuant to this Agreement;

(b)

The amount of any Tax benefit (including a tax deduction, credit refund, reduction or an increase of carried back or forward tax) deriving to the Purchaser and/or the Companies, whether in the current or in any subsequent fiscal year, attributable to the fact, matter and circumstances giving rise to the relevant Loss and which benefits the Purchaser and/or any Companies provided, however, that it being further agreed and understood that, (i) should such Tax benefit accrue or be effectively utilized after the Sellers have paid the relevant amount, the Purchaser shall, within ten (10) Business Days from the effective utilization of such benefit, refund to the Sellers the difference between the amount received and the amount that would have been payable had such benefit been taken into account provided further that the Purchaser shall have the right to verify the amount to be refunded, and the refund amount shall not bear any interest or penalties, (ii) the use of the Tax benefit shall be made in accordance with the applicable Laws and Accounting Principles and shall not be unreasonably delayed or postponed without proper business reasons; and

36


the relevant Loss for which such provision was established, and only up to the amount of such provisions.

7.2.2

The Parties agree that the amount of any Indemnification shall be calculated on a “Euro per Euro” basis after applying all deductions, exclusions and limitations provided for in this Clause 7 (Indemnification), without taking into account any multiple, whether express or implied, or any other criteria or assumptions applied or considered by the Purchaser for the purpose of determining the Definitive Purchase Price of the Shares.

7.2.3

Where an indemnifiable event under this Clause 7 (Indemnification) would, in principle, result in a breach of more than one of the Sellers’ Warranties, this shall not give rise to a duplication of indemnifiable Loss in relation to the same indemnifiable event, with any such duplication or double counting being expressly excluded.

7.2.4

The Sellers shall not be liable in respect of any Claim or Loss, and the amount of any such Claim or Loss shall be reduced accordingly, to the extent that the same:

(a)

Would not have arisen but for, or has been increased (and in such case it will not be indemnified the Loss for the said increased) as a result of, any act, omission or transaction carried out (i) before Closing, by the Sellers and/or any Company acting in accordance with any written direction, authorization or request of the Purchaser, or (ii) after Closing, any admission of liability of the Purchaser; or (iii) at any time, in connection with or pursuant to any transaction contemplated by and in compliance with this Agreement (other than those carried out in breach of the provisions of this Agreement);

(b)

Arises from, or is increased (and in such case it will not be indemnified the Loss for the said increased) as a result of, (i) any change in the applicable Law (including in relation to the applicable accounting principles) or regulations, or the issuance of any new Law or regulation occurring after the Closing Date;

(c)

Could have been mitigated, avoided or reduced by the Purchaser or the Companies exercising ordinary diligence pursuant to article 1227 of the Civil Code;

(d)

Arises from as a result of (i) any action, omission, transaction or arrangement (including, without limitation, any intra-group

37


transaction, reorganization, merger, demerger, transfer of assets or other similar transaction) undertaken or effected by the Purchaser and/or the Companies after the Closing Date; (ii) any change, after the Closing Date, in the Tax or accounting policies, practices, principles or methods applied by the Companies (other than to the extent mandatorily required by applicable Law enacted after the Closing Date, whether or not retroactively); or (iii) any status, circumstance or personal quality specific to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, without limitation, their tax residence, structure, financing, or accounting position, compliance with the local laws, etc.)

(e)

Relates to any liability which is contingent or potential, unless and until such liability has become an actual Loss incurred by the Purchaser or the Companies; it being, however, understood that the Purchaser may nevertheless serve a Claim on the Sellers even if the Loss is still contingent, in order to avoid any forfeiture under this Agreement; and

(f)

The extent that such Losses have been reflected in, impacted, or otherwise taken into account in the calculation of the Working Capital used for the purposes of determining the Definitive Purchase Price and its adjustment, variation as well as any component thereof, it being expressly agreed that any double counting is excluded.

7.2.5

The Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Companies to act in good faith, including pursuant to article 1227, paragraph 2, of the Civil Code, to mitigate, avoid or reduce any Losses which might give rise to a Claim under this Agreement.

7.3

Monetary thresholds

7.3.1

The Sellers shall have no liability for Indemnification:

(a)

For any Loss which individually does not exceed Euro 20,000 (twentythousand/00) (the “De Minimis Threshold”), it being understood that, if more than one Claim arises from, or is caused by, the same specific factual circumstance or the same nature of Claim or the same conduct and the aggregate amount of the related Losses equals or exceeds the De Minimis Threshold, then such De Minimis Threshold shall not apply to any of such Claims; and

(b)

Until the aggregate sum due in connection with all Losses (each of which of a value in excess of the De Minimis Threshold as determined

38


under paragraph (a) above) actually due and payable exceeds the one-off threshold Euro 100,000 (onehundredthousand/00) (the “Aggregate Threshold”), provided that, if the Aggregate Threshold is exceeded, the Sellers shall be liable for the excess amount of the Loss only (franchigia assoluta).

It being understood that none of the limitations provided under previous paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Clause 7.3.1 shall be applicable with respect to any Loss pursuant to Section 7.1.1(b) of the Agreement and the Fundamental Warranties.

7.3.2

The Sellers’ maximum aggregate liability for Indemnification shall be limited to an amount corresponding to (i) 10% (ten per cent) of the Definitive Purchase Price with respect to Andrea, and (ii) 8% (eight per cent) of the Definitive Purchase Price with respect to Andreis and Martinotti (jointly, the “Cap”), it being further agreed that the Cap shall not apply with respect to any Loss pursuant to Section 7.1.1(b) of the Agreement and to the Fundamental Warranties.

7.3.3

For the avoidance of doubt: (i) the determination of whether any Loss meets or exceeds the above monetary thresholds shall be made after applying all deductions, reductions, limitations and exclusions provided for under this Agreement; (ii) the monetary thresholds set forth in this Clause 7.3 (Monetary Thresholds) shall not apply in the event of Losses deriving from the Seller’s fraud or willful misconduct (dolo) of the Sellers.

7.4

Time limits

7.4.1

The Sellers shall not be responsible under this Agreement in respect of any untruthfulness or inaccuracy of the Sellers’ Warranties unless a notice or a Claim is given by the Purchaser to the Sellers or the Sellers’ Representative within:

(a)

The date falling 30 (thirty) Business Days following the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitation or, if later, within the date falling 30 (thirty) Business Days following the deadline of the notice regulated from time to time by laws in force, in relation to the Fundamental Warranties and the relevant Sellers’ Warranties under paragraphs 3.3 (Environmental), 3.17 (Taxes) and 3.18 (Employees) of Section III of Annex 5.1.1; or

(b)

(c)

The 24 (twenty-four) month anniversary as of the Closing Date, with respect to any Claim related to any other Sellers Warranty.

It being, however, understood that the Indemnification obligations of the Sellers shall survive the expiration of the time limits provided for herein in respect of any actual or alleged breach of the Sellers’ Warranties which, prior to the expiry of the relevant term above, constituted the subject matter of a request or Claim properly served thereunder until final settlement and/or payment of the same in accordance with this Agreement. Consequently and for the sake of clarity, if the Purchaser notifies any Claim within the terms specified above, the relevant Indemnification obligation of the Sellers will remain in force and effects until the Loss claimed by the Purchaser and the relevant liability of the Sellers has been definitively and finally ascertained, even in case such liability (and the relevant Indemnification obligation) is ascertained after the expiry of the terms provided above, as appropriate.

7.4.2

The time limits set forth in this Clause 7.4 (Time limits) shall not apply in the event of Losses pursuant to Section 7.1.1(b) of the Agreement and in the event of Losses deriving from fraud or willful misconduct (dolo) of the Sellers, which can be enforced up until the date falling 30 (thirty) Business Days following the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitation.

After Closing and except in case of willful misconduct (dolo) of the Sellers, the rights and remedies provided under this Agreement, including pursuant to this Clause 7 (Indemnification) with reference to the untruthfulness or inaccuracy the Sellers’ Warranties, substitute any other right or remedy of the Purchaser provided for by Law, including the right to terminate the Agreement for breach and related remedies.

(b)

If the Sellers’ Representative expresses a favourable opinion to the Proposed Settlement but the Purchaser expresses contrary opinion, then the Sellers’ liability in respect of the matters constituting the subject matter of such Proposed Settlement shall be limited to the amount that would have been paid by the Companies had the Companies proceeded with the Proposed Settlement in accordance with the Sellers’ request;

(c)

If the Sellers express a negative opinion, then the Purchaser and the Companies will in any case be free to the enter into the Proposed Settlement, but the liability of the Sellers will be ascertained and submitted to the competent court pursuant to Clause 11 (Governing Law and Jurisdiction), without prejudice to the limitations set forth in this Clause 7 (Indemnification);

Common Provisions

8.3.1

The Parties reciprocally acknowledge that the restrictions contained in Clauses 8.1 (Non-competition Undertakings) and 8.2 (Non-solicit. Non-hire) are reasonable and justified under the circumstances and acknowledge and agree that no separate consideration is provided for the assumption by the Sellers of the respective obligations and undertakings hereunder, as this has been specifically taken into account by the Parties in determining the Definitive Purchase Price for the Sale and Purchase and the other terms and conditions set out in this.

8.3.2

In case of breach of the provisions under Clauses 8.1 (Non-competition Undertakings) and 8.2 (Non-solicit. Non-hire), any breaching Seller shall pay to the Purchaser the amount of Euro 100,000 for each month during which any such breach is continuing, with no prejudice for any further damage that could be claimed by the Purchaser in connection thereof, it being, however, understood that such obligations and the related liabilities shall apply without duplication and without prejudice to, and shall be construed in coordination with, any similar non-competition, non-solicitation or confidentiality undertakings assumed by Andreis and Martinetti under the Management Agreement or the Consultancy Agreement Andreis, as the case may be, so that no overlapping or cumulative liability may arise from the same conduct. In such respect, the Sellers expressly acknowledge that the aforesaid amount is a genuine, impartial and fair estimate of the minimum damage that Purchaser would suffer in the event that Sellers breaches the covenants under Clauses 8.1 (Non-competition Undertakings) and 8.2 (Non-solicit. Non-hire) above.

8.3.4

The provisions of this Clause 8 (Protective Covenants) are assumed by the Sellers and shall be considered as irrevocably granted also to the benefit of the Companies to the extent such Companies remain, directly or indirectly, under the control of the Purchaser and may be object of enforcement also by any of the same under such condition, but – in any event, without duplication of responsibility or double counting.

8.3.5

For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser acknowledges that (i) Mr. Lorenzo Andreis (brother of Andreis) and wife and descendants carry out the “Andreis Italy” business, as referenced on www.andreislorenzo.it, and the Sellers shall bear no liability in connection therewith under this Clause 8 (Protective

47


Covenants), provided that they and their Connected Persons (other than Mr. Lorenzo Andreis, his wife and latter’s descendants) are not involved in such activities or business; (ii) Mr. Dalmasso is currently providing ordinary accounting assistance (commercialista) to persons operating in the Restricted Business, and the Sellers shall likewise bear no liability in connection therewith under this Clause 8 (Protective Covenants) (and he shall be entitled to continue providing such assistance in the ordinary course of his professional activity), provided that the Sellers (and their Connected Persons) are not involved in such activities or business; and (iii) Andreis shall have the right to continue benefiting, at its own cost, from services provided by experts already engaged with Omars (e.g., surveyors (geometri), accountants, labor advisors, or suppliers), either directly or through Affiliates, provided that Andreis shall not receive such services for the purpose of carrying out an activity which qualifies as a Restricted Business and, in any event, in accordance with the non-competition undertakings provided hereunder.
