2.1.3 Without prejudice to the provisions herein, Licensee shall not be entitled to use other trademarks that could be Confusingly Similar to any of the Trademarks as used by Licensors in the Physical Stores.

2.1.4 Licensee is allowed to develop new trademarks for purposes of use in its e-Commerce activities which shall exclusively belong to Licensee.

2.5 Licensee shall have a right of first refusal in case any Licensor intends to transfer the ownership of or license any of the Trademarks under the conditions set out below.

2.5.1 Each Licensor shall inform Licensee upon a three (3) month prior notice of its intent to (i) transfer the Trademarks to any person or (ii) grant licenses on any of the Trademarks to third parties in relation to activities outside Licensee’s Operations. Such notice shall set out the identity of the proposed purchaser or licensee and a complete copy of the offer. After such notice, Licensee shall have thirty (30) days to notify Licensors of its intention to exercise the right to purchase or license, as the case may be, the relevant Trademarks on the same terms and conditions as those that have been agreed with the proposed transferee or licensee. If the consideration provided for in the offer is not in cash or reflects a broader transaction, the price shall be based on the value of the consideration as established in good faith by the Parties, provided that in case the Parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable consensus, they shall jointly appoint an independent expert with a mandate to determine the price in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to the applicable rules of valuation of the International Chamber of Commerce. The Licensor and the Licensee shall complete the transfer or licensing of the offered Trademarks at such time and place as shall be specified in the notice of the Licensee of its intention to exercise its right, but in any event no later than forty-five (45) business days following the giving of such notice. In the event that the transaction resulting

from the Licensee’s exercise of its right of first refusal is not consummated within the aforementioned period through the fault of the Licensee, then the Licensor may proceed to consummate the transaction contemplated initially.

2.5.2 If Licensee does not exercise its right of first refusal, Licensor shall have a 60-day period from the expiry date of the above-mentioned 30-day period to complete the license or transfer with a third party under the same terms and conditions as those notified to Licensee. If the terms of the contemplated license or transfer are modified or if the contemplated license or transfer is not completed within such 60-day period, then Licensor shall again comply with the Licensee’s right of first refusal as set forth in Clause 2.5.1.

2.5.3 Notwithstanding any rights and remedies that Licensee may have under this Agreement, in case a Licensor grants licenses on the Trademarks in relation to activities outside Licensee’s Operations or transfers the ownership of any Trademark in violation of Licensee’s right of first refusal, the contract between Licensor and the third party shall contain provisions to the extent that the new Trademark owner or licensee will be required to maintain the Licensee’s rights set forth in this Agreement with all its existing terms and conditions.

2.5.4 To the extent Licensee does not exercise its right of refusal, Licensors may transfer the ownership of, or grant license over, the relevant Trademark(s) to third parties in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.5.2. In any event, the contract between Licensors and the third party shall contain provisions to the extent that the new Trademark owner or licensee will be required to maintain the Licensee’s rights set forth in this Agreement with all its then existing terms and conditions.

2.6 Without prejudice to other rights or remedies that may be available in connection with a breach of Section 2.5, non-compliance with Section 2.5 above will subject the defaulting Party to the payment of a non-compensatory fine in the same amount provided in Section 9.3 below.

8.1 The Parties shall observe and comply with all the requirements, procedures and directions agreed by them with respect to the use and safeguarding of the Trademarks.

time, Licensor authorizes the Licensee to take the actions required to protect the Trademark.

8.3.2 Each Licensor shall act in good faith in performing its obligation to support the Licensee in connection with any Third Party Disputes.

8.3.3 Each Licensor shall, in good faith, provide any assistance reasonably requested by Licensee in the conduct of Third Party Disputes, including, but not limited to situations in which any action or proceeding requires approval or participation from Licensor due to the reason of the trademark being registered with the BPTO, respectively, under the Licensor’s names.

8.4 Any award of costs or damages or other compensation payment arising from claims involving the matters listed in this Article VIII shall accrue to both Parties. The Parties will discuss in good faith the form and criteria pursuant to which such compensation will be determined.

ARTICLE IX. TERM AND TERMINATION

9.1 Term: Without regard to the term or the termination of the Operational Agreement, this Agreement will remain valid for an initial 20-year term, counted as of the Effective Date, and will be automatically renewed for an additional 10-year period. Any further renewals are subject to negotiation between the Parties.

terminating Party, to the Licensors together) a non-compensatory fine of R$50,000,000.00 (fifty millions reais) per Trademark.

9.3.1 The foregoing shall not be construed as granting any right to terminate this Agreement prior to its expiration date to any of Licensors or Licensee other than as specifically set forth in Clause 9..2, the Parties intent being that an uncured breach of this Agreement be sanctioned by damages and injunctive relief only and each Party waives to the fullest extent possible under applicable laws any right to request the early termination of this Agreement.

9.4 Effects of Termination:

9.4.1 Expiration or early termination of this Agreement, for any reason, shall not release either Party from any obligation or liability which at said time the relevant Party has already incurred to the other Party(ies), nor affect in any way the survival of any rights, duties or obligations of either Party which are stated in this Agreement as continuing after the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Nothing in the immediately preceding sentence shall affect, be construed or operate as a waiver of the right of the Party aggrieved by any breach of this Agreement to be compensated for any injury or damage resulting therefrom which is incurred before or after such expiration or termination.

9.4.2 Immediately upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any cause whatsoever, all the rights granted to Licensee hereunder shall cease and automatically revert to Licensors, which shall be free to license others to use any or all of the rights granted herein effective on and after such date of expiration or termination.

9.4.3 In the event of any expiration or termination of this Agreement for any cause whatsoever, Licensee shall promptly return to Licensors all material and any other information relating to the Trademarks disclosed by Licensors to Licensee, as Licensors shall reasonably request. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, Licensee agrees to promptly cease any and all use, advertising or display of any Trademarks.

9.4.4 Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article, if on the effective date of termination of this Agreement Licensee is bound to its customers by agreements to sell products in connection with the use of the Trademarks, the duration of which extends beyond the effective date of termination of this

Agreement, Licensee may, provided it continues to meet all of its obligations under this Agreement, continue to perform such customer agreements until their normal date of expiration or until the effective date of their termination; thereupon, Licensee shall comply with its obligations set forth in this Clause 9.

9.4.5 In the event of termination of this Agreement for any reason, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the transaction procedure with regards to the Licensee’s Operations and the Trademarks.

10 EXERCISE OF THE CALL OPTION

10.5 When exercising the Call Option, the Voting Depository may rely on the Recorded Information available at that time in order to establish the Maximum Number. If any part of the Recorded Information is inaccurate or incomplete at the time of the Voting Depository exercising the Call Option on the relevant occasion, the Company shall, immediately after having become aware that the Voting Depository has relied on inaccurate or incomplete Recorded Information:

a. update and correct the Recorded Information as appropriate and inform the Voting Depository of the actual composition of the Company’s authorised and issued share capital at that time, as well as the actual nominal value of all Shares at that time; and

relevant Special Voting Shares to be issued out of, and charge the Exercise Price against, the Company’s special capital reserve and shall discharge the Voting Depository from liability in respect of the payment of the Exercise Price subject to the Company having sufficient freely distributable reserves.

11.2 The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to maintain the special capital reserve at a sufficient level to allow for any issue of Special Voting Shares pursuant to this Agreement to be charged against such reserve.

11.3 If the level of the special capital reserve is insufficient to allow the relevant Exercise Price to be fully charged against it, the Company may require the Voting Depository to pay the Exercise Price or a part thereof in cash and the Voting Depository shall pay the relevant amount out of its available funds, use its reasonable efforts to obtain bank financing or financing from the Company or its subsidiaries in order to be able to pay the relevant amount to the Company or pay the relevant amount by other means.

In deviation of the previous sentence, the Company and the Voting Depository may, subject to the restrictions pursuant to applicable law, agree that the Company shall pay a consideration for any Special Voting Shares so transferred to the Company.

14 UNDERTAKING TO INCREASE AUTHORIZED SHARE CAPITAL

15.4 Upon a cancellation of any DRs by the Voting Depository in accordance with the Terms in respect of a DR Holder, the Company shall immediately de-register from the Founders Share Register the relevant Qualifying Shares held by such DR Holder.

15.6 Upon de-registration of an Ordinary Share from the Founders Share Register:

a. such Ordinary Share will no longer qualify as Qualifying Share;

b. the relevant DR Holder is no longer entitled to hold the DRs

issued in respect thereof and the Voting Depository shall promptly cancel such DRs unilaterally for no compensation in accordance with the Terms; and

16 NO TRANSFER OR ENCUMBRANCE

16.1 The Voting Depository shall not directly or indirectly sell, dispose of or transfer any Special Voting Share to any party other than to the Company, or otherwise grant any right or interest therein other than issuing DRs.

16.2 Without prejudice to Section 3:259 of the Dutch Civil Code, the Voting Depository shall not directly or indirectly create or permit to exist any pledge, lien, fixed or floating charge or other encumbrance over any Special Voting Share or any interest in any Special Voting Share.

It may be stipulated that part of the nominal value, not exceeding three quarters thereof, need not be paid up until the Company has called for payment.

10.3 An authorisation as referred to in Article 10.2 remains valid for no longer than eighteen months. When granting such authorisation, the General Meeting shall determine the number of shares that may be acquired, how they may be acquired and within which range the acquisition price must be.

10.4 The Company may acquire shares in its own capital for cash consideration or for consideration satisfied in the form of assets.

In addition to the Directors, the Company may have one or more Non-Board Co-CEOs. References in these articles of association to a Non-Board Co-CEO and provisions in these articles of association relating to a Non-Board Co-CEO shall be disregarded if and

If and for as long as one or more Non-Board Co-CEOs hold office, each Executive Director elected as CEO shall be a Board Co-CEO. References in these articles of association to a Board Co-CEO should be construed as being references to a CEO if and for as long as no Non-Board Co-CEO holds office.

13.10 Where a Director, or a Non-Board Co-CEO, is no longer in office or is unable to act (including as a result of a suspension or as a result of having a conflict of interests as described in Article 15.7), he may be replaced temporarily by a person whom the Board of

Directors has designated for that purpose and, until then, the other Director(s) shall be charged with the entire management of the Company. Subject to Article 15.8, where all Directors are no longer in office or are unable to act, the management of the Company shall be entrusted temporarily to one or more persons designated by the General Meeting for that purpose.

The duties, responsibilities and powers of the Non-Board Co-CEO(s) under these articles of association and the Board Rules are subject to the limitations under Dutch law relating to (i) the decision-making, functioning and organisation of the Board of Directors and (ii) the interests of the Company and of the business connected with it. The Board of Directors may at any time determine that the specific circumstances of the case at hand require the Board of Directors to perform its duties through deliberations and decision-making among the Directors only. If deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors, such determination will be made in the absence of the Non-Board Co-CEO(s).

14.2 The Board of Directors shall draw up Board Rules concerning the organisation, decision-making and other internal matters of the Board of Directors and its committees, as well as the tasks, duties and authorities of the Non-Board Co-CEO(s), all with due observance of these articles of association.

b. the supervision of the performance of the duties of the Directors and those of the Non-Board Co-CEO(s) cannot be taken away from the Non-Executive Directors;

c. the Chairman must be a Non-Executive Director;

d. the power to appoint, suspend or remove a Non-Board Co-CEO cannot be allocated to an Executive Director; and

15.8 A Director shall not participate in the deliberations and decision-making of the Board of Directors on a matter in relation to which he has a direct or indirect personal interest which conflicts with the interests of the Company and of the business connected with it. The previous sentence applies mutatis mutandis to a Non-Board Co-CEO. If, as a result of the first sentence of this Article 15.8, no resolution can be adopted by the Board of Directors, the resolution may nonetheless be passed by the Board of Directors.

15.9 Meetings of the Board of Directors can be held through audio- or video-communication facilities, unless a Director or, subject to Article 14.1, a Non-Board Co-CEO objects thereto.

15.10 Resolutions of the Board of Directors may, instead of at a meeting, be passed in writing, provided that all Directors and, subject to Article 14.1, the Non-Board Co-CEO(s) are familiar with the resolution to be passed and none of them objects to this decision-making process. Articles 15.4 and 15.6 apply mutatis mutandis.

b. to the extent that his financial losses, damages and expenses are covered by an insurance and the insurer has settled these financial losses, damages and expenses (or has indicated that it would do so).

19.6 Any matter of which the discussion has been requested in writing by one or more shareholders who, individually or collectively, represent at least (i) three percent (3%) of the Company’s issued share capital or (ii) three percent (3%) of the ordinary shares comprised in the Company’s issued share capital shall be included in the convening notice or announced in the same manner, if the Company has received the substantiated request or a

proposal for a resolution no later than on the sixtieth day prior to that of the General Meeting. For the purpose of applying this Article 19.6, other Persons with Meeting Rights shall be equated with shareholders.

19.7 A General Meeting must be convened with due observance of the relevant statutory minimum convening period.

19.8 All Persons with Meeting Rights must be convened for a General Meeting (i) by means of an announcement published on the Website, where it shall remain directly and permanently available until the General Meeting, and (ii) if required under applicable laws or regulations, in a daily newspaper with national distribution.

19.9 The holders of registered shares may be convened for a General Meeting by means of letters sent to the addresses of those shareholders in accordance with Article 5.6. The previous sentence does not prejudice the possibility of sending a convening notice by electronic means in accordance with Section 2:113(4) DCC.

GENERAL MEETING - PROCEDURAL RULES

Article 20

20.1 The General Meeting shall be chaired by the Chairman. If the Chairman is not present, the General Meeting shall be chaired by another Director or by a Non-Board Co-CEO chosen by the Directors present at the General Meeting. If neither the Directors nor the Non-Board Co-CEO(s) are present at the General Meeting, the General Meeting shall appoint its own chairman.

20.2 The chairman of the General Meeting shall appoint another person present at the General Meeting to act as secretary and to minute the proceedings at the General Meeting. Where an official report of the proceedings is drawn up by a civil law notary, no minutes need to be taken. Every Director may instruct a civil law notary to draw up such an official report at the Company’s expense.

20.3 The chairman of the General Meeting shall decide whether persons other than:

a. Persons with Meeting Rights; and

b. others with a statutory right to attend the General Meeting,

shall be admitted to the General Meeting.

20.4 A Person with Meeting Rights who is represented at a General Meeting by the holder of a written proxy shall only be admitted to the General Meeting if the proxy is determined to be acceptable by the chairman of the General Meeting. A Person with Meeting Rights may inform the Company of his proxy by electronic means of communication.

The Company shall make proxy forms available to all Persons with Meeting Rights which will stipulate that, if a Person with Meeting Rights wishes to use such form to grant a proxy to exercise the meeting and voting rights on his behalf, such proxy (unless expressly

stipulated otherwise in the proxy) shall be considered to have been granted with the instruction to the proxyholder (i) to vote in favour of any resolution which is proposed or endorsed by the Board of Directors and (ii) to vote against any other resolution.

20.5 The Company may direct that any person, before entering a General Meeting, identify himself by means of a valid passport or driver’s license and to be submitted to such security restrictions or arrangements as the Company may consider to be appropriate under the given circumstances. Persons who do not comply with these requirements or restrictions may be refused entry to the General Meeting.

20.6 The chairman of the General Meeting has the right to eject any person from the General Meeting if he considers that person to disrupt the orderly proceedings at the General Meeting.

20.7 The General Meeting may be conducted in the English language, if so determined by the chairman of the General Meeting.

GENERAL MEETING - EXERCISE OF MEETING AND VOTING RIGHTS

Article 21

21.1 Each Person with Meeting Rights has the right to attend, address and, if applicable, vote at a General Meeting, whether in person or represented by the holder of a written proxy. Holders of fractional shares, if any, together constituting the nominal amount of a share of the relevant class, shall exercise these rights collectively, whether through one of them or through the holder of a written proxy.

21.2 The Board of Directors may decide that each Person with Meeting Rights is entitled, whether in person or represented by the holder of a written proxy, to participate in, address and, if applicable, vote at the General Meeting by electronic means of communication. For the purpose of applying the preceding sentence it must be possible, by electronic means of communication, for the Person with Meeting Rights to be identified, to observe in real time the proceedings at the General Meeting and, if applicable, to vote. The Board of Directors may impose conditions on the use of the electronic means of communication, provided that these conditions are reasonable and necessary for the identification of the Person with Meeting Rights and the reliability and security of the communication. Such conditions must be announced in the convening notice.

21.3 The Board of Directors can also decide that votes cast through electronic means of communication or by means of a letter prior to a General Meeting are considered to be votes that are cast during the General Meeting. These votes shall not be cast prior to the Registration Date.

21.4 For the purpose of Articles 21.1 through 21.3, those who have voting rights and/or Meeting Rights on the Registration Date and are recorded as such in a register designated by the Board of Directors shall be considered to have voting rights and/or Meeting Rights, as

the case may be, irrespective of whoever is entitled to the shares or depository receipts at the time of the General Meeting. For as long as shares or depository receipts for shares issued with the Company’s cooperation are not admitted to trading on a regulated market within the meaning of Section 1:1 of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act, the Board of Directors is authorised, when convening a General Meeting, to determine that the previous sentence applies.

21.5 As a prerequisite for a Person with Meeting Rights to exercise his Meeting Rights and, if applicable, his voting rights at a General Meeting, that Person with Meeting Rights must notify the Company in writing of his identity and his intention to attend the General Meeting. This notice must be sent after the Registration Date and must be received by the Company ultimately on the third Trading Day prior to the General Meeting. Persons with Meeting Rights that have not complied with this requirement may be refused entry to the General Meeting in the sole discretion of the chairman of the General Meeting.

GENERAL MEETING - DECISION-MAKING

Article 22

22.1 Each share, irrespective of whether it concerns an ordinary share or a special voting share, shall give the right to cast one (1) vote at General Meetings. For this purpose, fractional shares, if any, collectively constituting the nominal amount of a share shall be considered to be equivalent to a share of the relevant class.

22.2 No vote may be cast at a General Meeting in respect of a share belonging to the Company or a Subsidiary or in respect of a share for which either of them holds the depository receipts. Usufructuaries and pledgees of shares belonging to the Company or its Subsidiaries are not, however, precluded from exercising their voting rights if the usufruct or pledge was created before the relevant share belonged to the Company or Subsidiary. Neither the Company nor a Subsidiary may vote shares in respect of which it holds a usufruct or a pledge.

22.3 Unless a greater majority is required by law, all resolutions of the General Meeting shall be passed by a Simple Majority.

22.4 Abstentions, invalid votes and blank votes shall not be counted as votes cast.

22.5 Where there is a tie in any vote of the General Meeting, no resolution shall have been passed.

22.6 Without prejudice to Article 22.9, the Company shall establish, for each resolution passed by the General Meeting:

a. the number of shares in respect of which valid votes were cast;

b. the percentage of the issued share capital represented by the shares referred to in paragraph a.;

c. the total number of votes validly cast;

d. the number of votes that were cast in favour and against the resolution, as well as the number of abstentions.

22.7 The chairman of the General Meeting shall decide on the method of voting and may determine the voting procedure at General Meetings.

22.8 The determination made by the chairman of the General Meeting with regard to the results of a vote shall be decisive. However, where the accuracy of the chairman’s determination is contested immediately after it has been made, a new vote shall take place if the majority of the General Meeting so requires or, where the original vote did not take place by response to a roll call or in writing, if any party with voting rights present at the General Meeting so requires. The legal consequences of the original vote shall lapse as a result of the new vote.

22.9 The Board of Directors shall keep a record of the resolutions passed. The record shall be available at the Company’s office for inspection by Persons with Meeting Rights. Each of them shall, upon request, be provided with a copy of or extract from the record, at no more than the cost price.

22.10 Directors shall, in that capacity, have an advisory vote at General Meetings.

REPORTING - FINANCIAL YEAR, ANNUAL ACCOUNTS AND ANNUAL REPORT

Article 23

23.1 The Company’s financial year shall coincide with the calendar year.

23.2 Annually, within the relevant statutory period, the Board of Directors shall prepare the annual accounts and the annual report and deposit them at the Company’s office for inspection by the shareholders.

23.3 The annual accounts shall be signed by the Directors. If any of their signatures is missing, this shall be mentioned, stating the reasons.

23.4 The Company shall ensure that the annual accounts, the annual report and the particulars to be added pursuant to Section 2:392(1) DCC shall be available at its offices as from the convening of the General Meeting at which they are to be discussed. Persons with Meeting Rights are entitled to inspect such documents at that location and to obtain a copy at no cost.

23.5 The annual accounts shall be adopted by the General Meeting.

REPORTING - AUDIT

Article 24

24.1 The General Meeting shall instruct an auditor as referred to in Section 2:393 DCC to audit the annual accounts. Where the General Meeting fails to instruct an auditor, the Board of Directors shall be authorised to do so.

24.2 The instruction may be revoked by the General Meeting and, if the Board of Directors has granted the instruction, by the Board of Directors. The instruction can only be revoked for well-founded reasons; a difference of opinion regarding the reporting or auditing methods shall not constitute such a reason.

DISTRIBUTIONS - ORDINARY RESERVES AND SPECIAL RESERVES

Article 25

25.1 The Company may maintain any reserve attached exclusively to the ordinary shares, as the Board of Directors deems to be appropriate.

25.2 In addition, the Company shall maintain a special capital reserve for the exclusive purpose of facilitating an issue of special voting shares. The Board of Directors is authorised to resolve:

a. to charge amounts to be paid up on special voting shares against the special capital reserve; and

b. to reallocate any part of the balance of the special capital reserve to the Company’s share premium reserve and vice versa.

25.3 Without prejudice to Article 25.2, no distributions shall be made from the special capital reserve.

25.4 In addition to the reserves referred to above in this Article 25, the Company shall also maintain a special dividend reserve attached exclusively to the special voting shares.

DISTRIBUTIONS - ENTITLEMENT AND RESTRICTIONS

Article 26

26.1 A distribution can only be made to the extent that the Company’s equity exceeds the Non-Distributable Equity.

26.2 Without prejudice to Article 28.3:

a. distributions, except for a distribution from the special dividend reserve, shall be made exclusively to the holders of ordinary shares in proportion to the aggregate nominal value of their ordinary shares;

b. the ordinary shares do not carry any entitlement to distributions from the special dividend reserve;

c. distributions from the special dividend reserve shall be made exclusively to the

holders of special voting shares in proportion to the aggregate nominal value of their special voting shares; and

d. the special voting shares do not carry any entitlement to other distributions than distributions from the special dividend reserve.

26.3 Without prejudice to Article 26.2, the parties entitled to a distribution shall be the shareholders, usufructuaries and pledgees, as the case may be, as at a date to be determined by the Board of Directors for that purpose. This date shall not be earlier than the date on which the distribution was announced.

26.4 Subject to a proposal of the Board of Directors to that effect and subject to the other provisions of this Article 26:

a. the General Meeting may resolve to make a distribution from the Company’s reserves, except for the special dividend reserve; and

b. the meeting of holders of special voting shares may resolve to make a distribution from the special dividend reserve.

26.5 The body entitled to resolve on a distribution pursuant to Article 26.4 may also resolve, subject to a proposal of the Board of Directors to that effect, that all or part of such distribution, instead of being made in cash, shall be made in the form of shares in the Company’s capital or in the form of assets.

26.6 The Board of Directors may also resolve to charge amounts to be paid up on ordinary shares against the Company’s reserves, irrespective of whether those ordinary shares are issued to existing shareholders.

26.7 A distribution shall be payable in such currency and on such date as determined by the Board of Directors.

26.8 A claim for payment of a distribution shall lapse after five years have expired after the distribution was declared.

26.9 No distribution as referred to in this Article 26 shall be made to the Company in respect of shares held by it.

DISTRIBUTIONS - PROFITS

Article 27

27.1 The Board of Directors shall determine which part of the profits shown in the annual accounts in respect of a financial year shall be added to the Company’s reserves.

27.2 Out of the remaining profits shown in the annual accounts:

a. an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the aggregate nominal value of the special voting shares that are issued and are not held by the Company itself at the end of the financial year to which the annual accounts pertain shall first be added to the

special dividend reserve; and

b. any profits remaining thereafter shall be at the disposal of the General Meeting for distribution to the holders of ordinary shares in proportion to the aggregate nominal value of their ordinary shares.

For the avoidance of doubt, the special voting shares shall not carry any entitlement to profits other than as described in paragraph a.

27.3 A distribution of profits shall be subject to a proposal of the Board of Directors to that effect and the other provisions of Article 26, and shall be made only after the adoption of the annual accounts that show that such distribution is allowed.

27.4 The Board of Directors may resolve to make interim distributions of profits, provided that it appears from interim accounts to be prepared in accordance with Section 2:105(4) DCC that the requirement referred to in Article 26.1 has been met, and taking into account Article 27.2.

27.5 For the purpose of calculating any distribution of profits, shares held by the Company in its own capital shall not be taken into account.

DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

Article 28

28.1 In the event of the Company being dissolved, the liquidation shall be effected by the Board of Directors, unless the General Meeting decides otherwise.

28.2 To the extent possible, these articles of association shall remain in effect during the liquidation.

28.3 Any assets remaining after payment of all of the Company’s debts shall be distributed to the holders of ordinary shares in proportion to the aggregate nominal value of their ordinary shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the special voting shares shall not carry any entitlement to a distribution as referred to in the previous sentence.

28.4 No distribution as referred to in Article 28.3 shall be made to the Company in respect of shares held by it.

28.5 After the liquidation has been completed, the Company’s books, records and other information carriers shall be kept for the period prescribed by law by the person designated for that purpose in the resolution of the General Meeting to dissolve the Company. Where the General Meeting has not designated such a person, the liquidators shall do so.

SCHEDULE 11.3
