UNSECURED INTERNATIONALIZATION LOAN

Loan no. 04362344

SUMMARY DOCUMENT NO. 1

This summary document, by express mutual agreement of the parties, shall be considered an integral and essential part of the contract template, to which it is annexed as its title page.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

The interest rate is determined based on the following benchmark:

3 (three) months Euribor - Euro lnterbank Offered Rate - 360 basis - updated (quoted at 11AM, Central Europe Time, by the Euribor Steering Committee - EMMI - made public through the main electronic trading platforms, such as http://it.euribor-rates.eu, and through specialized press) with value date at the date of execution and the start date of each instalment. The interest rate so determined will be updated each time to the date corresponding to the start date of the instalment, increased by a spread of 2.0000 points.

 

fixed throughout the loan term.

 

floating, based on the variations in the benchmark,

for an amount of / currently equal to nominal 2.0000%.

In case of a floating rate, the above value is indicative and referred to the rate in force at the time of execution:

 

   

if the benchmark determined as above (and, in case of failure or future impossibility of determination, the Libar as defined below) has a negative value, the same will be conventionally considered equal to zero: as a consequence, Bank will charge Borrower an interest rate equal to the spread until the benchmark value rises above zero again;

 

   

if it is not possible to determine the benchmark rate as indicated above, the benchmark considered will be the 3 months Libor referred to Euro, quoted on the second working day before the end of each calendar quarter, as reported on specialized press, increased by the spread indicated above; In case of an increase or decrease in this latter benchmark, the interest rate will be adjusted to reflect the changes occurred, starting from 1/1, 1/4, 1/7 or 1/10 following such change, and will remain in effect throughout each calendar quarter.

Therefore, given that the value of the aforementioned benchmark is currently equal to -0.3750% and the spread is, as said, 2.0000 points, the nominal annual rate of the loan, in light of the above, is currently set at 2.0000%.

Interest-only period (if applicable) will be charged in the same way as the repayment interest

The interests shall be calculated using the nominal rates described with respect to the actual numbers of lapsed days, with the divisor referring to 360 days.

CONTRACT RULES

Art. 1 - Effect of the recitals

The Parties expressly approve the above recitals, which form an integral and essential part of this contract.

Art. 2 - Subject of the contract

Bank hereby grants Borrower, at Borrower’s request, a loan of the amount of Euro 4,000,000.00 for a maximum term of 24 months, plus the interest-only period, where agreed, under the conditions set out below, and to be intended as a firm commitment by Bank, as defined in art. 2 bis below.

The Parties agree that the amounts granted under this Loan will be disbursed upon the signing of this contract.

Art. 2 bis - assumption of a firm commitment

3) Bank undertakes to refrain from withdrawing from the contract throughout its term, except in those scenarios contemplated in Art. 14 of the instant Contract Terms.

Art. 3 - Interest

Borrower undertakes, from the date of disbursement, to pay the interest as agreed in amount and frequency in the summary document and in the Repayment Schedule.

Borrower acknowledges and accepts that if the interest is charged at a floating rate, Bank will redetermine the Repayment Schedule in case of an increase or decrease of the rate, and therefore the Repayment Schedule is to be intended as merely indicative.

Any delay or failure to deliver the payment notice will not exempt Borrower from the obligation to pay the amounts owed by the due date, and such delay or failure may not be invoked as a reason of inapplicability of the late-payment interest due under article 11 below.

If an interest payment date is not a business day (calculated based on the calendar of the “TARGET” international payment system), the interest payment shall be considered as due on the next succeeding business day (however, if such day falls in the following month, the payment must be made on the last working day preceding the actual expiration date), with consequent extension (or reduction) of the interest period until the payment date so modified: interest, where still due, will continue to accrue from the day following the payment date so modified.

It is understood that if the interest rate determined under this article 3, or the late-payment interest under article 11 below exceed, for any reason, the maximum interest rate allowed by Law no. 108 of 7/3/1996, as published in the quarterly ministerial decrees issued under art. 2, Law 108 of 7/3/1996, such rates shall be automatically reduced to one tenth of a percentage point lower than the threshold rate under art. 2, Law 108/1996, and therefore applied in compliance with the Usury provisions contained in Law 108 of 7 March 1996 and with the Ministerial indications in force for the time being.

Art. 4 - Disbursement of the loan upon signing the contract

Borrower declares that upon signing this contract, the same has received, on its bank account no. 3180, held with branch 1726, the amount of the Loan net of fees, costs and taxes, full receipt of which is hereby acknowledged. Borrower therefore hereby acknowledges that it owes a debt to Bank and has an obligation of repayment in that respect as provided in article 5 below. For such purpose, Bank hands Borrower a proof of deposit into the bank account held in Borrower’s name.

Art. 4 bis - Repayment Schedule

The Repayment Schedule - inclusive of the interest-only period, where agreed, and instalment adjustment - is reported in the Summary Document attached hereto.

Borrower, having been informed and being aware of the various options made available by Bank for the development of the Repayment Schedule, opts for the ☐ Bullet Repayment ☒ the Even Total Repayment ☐ the Even Principal Repayment method.

Borrower stipulates that Bank shall (where there is an increase or decrease in the interest rate as determined - for floating-interest rate contracts) adjust the loan’s Repayment Schedule accordingly: the outstanding principal shall become the original “principal”, the remaining term shall be the “term”, and the “interest rate” shall be determined as stated supra. Once the amounts are disbursed, upon the signing of this contract, Borrower will be given the Repayment Schedule, which shall be considered as “indicative”, insofar as its purpose is just to demonstrate what the amount of each instalment would be, if the interest rate determined upon signing the Contract remained unchanged throughout the repayment period. Therefore, it is not intended to precisely set the final amount of each instalment, which may vary both as to the principal and to the interest portion (in case of Even Total or “French” Repayment) or only with regard to the interest (in case of Even Principal or “Italian” Repayment, or of Bullet Repayment), and however in relation to the total amount of each single instalment. If the interest rate charged on the loan principal is fixed, on the other hand, the schedule referred to above shall be considered as the actual Repayment Schedule.

Art. 5 - Loan repayment

Borrower undertakes, on its own behalf as well as for its successors and assigns, to refund any amount owed in connection with this Loan, by paying:

 

1 interest-only instalment on a quarterly basis, the first and last of which will be due on 30/09/2019;

 

8 repayment instalments on a quarterly basis, the first of which will be due on 31/12/2019, and the last on 31/12/2021;

 

Bullet Repayment: *************** instalments, the last of which - or the only one - inclusive of the entire principal, will correspond to the loan expiration date, on ***************.

If an interest payment date is not a business day (calculated based on the calendar of the “TARGET2” (Transeuropean Automated Real Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer) international payment system), the interest payment shall be considered as due on the next succeeding business day; however, if such day falls in the following month, the payment must be made on the last working day preceding the actual expiration date.

Art. 6 - Overdraft charges on instalments

Borrower undertakes to make sufficient funds for payment timely available. Bank shall have the right but not the duty to charge at each individual deadline, against the account Borrower holds at the Lending Bank, the loan instalment, regardless of whether overdrawn, and by the same token Bank shall have the option to collect any other amount owed to Bank by Borrower pursuant to the loan.

Art. 7 - Debt recovery costs

Borrower is entitled to repay the loan, entirely or in part, before the due date: In such event, Borrower shall pay Bank, in addition to the principal, the interest, the expenses for counts and all other accrued charges as agreed with Bank, a redemption penalty calculated on the prepaid principal amount, as indicated in the Summary Document.

Borrower shall not hold Bank liable in case of late delivery or non-delivery of correspondence related to this loan due to failure by Borrower to comply with the above obligation.

Art. 20 - Disclosure of information

Borrower acknowledges and accepts that Bank may disclose the personal data provided by Borrower, as well as the contents of this contract and any information relevant to Borrower as Bank deems appropriate:

 

(a)

in any dispute arising from or however related to this contract; or

 

(b)

where required by a court order of any nature; or

 

(c)

where required by a government, tax or banking authority of any competent jurisdiction; or

 

(d)

to its own auditors and professional consultants and to those of Borrower, provided that such parties have previously signed a confidentiality agreement; or

 

(e)

to the European Central Bank and/or the Bank of Italy within refinancing loans granted within the “Abaco’ (Collateralised Bank Assets) procedure, as regulated by the provisions governing “Eurosystem monetary policy instruments” in force for the time being; or

 

(f)

to any person who is a prospective assignee in the meaning of article 21 below.

Art. 21 - Transfer of rights and obligations arising from the contract

Bank may at any time assign to third parties all or part of its receivables, claims, guarantees, benefits and obligations arising from this contract, or all or part of the contract itself. In such event, Bank shall be released from the part of obligations that relates to the transfer, all joint and several liability between assignor and assignee being excluded.

The transfer shall require a specific contract to be stipulated between assignor and assignee (this latter assuming the capacity of “Bank”). Therefore, following such transfer, whenever reference is made to Bank in this contract, this will include all and any assignee Banks, without need for further specifications.

Starting from the date of efficacy of the transfer, as indicated in the transfer contract referred to in the preceding paragraph, the assignee will take over the position of the assignor for all effects and purposes as to the rights and obligations that are to be exercised or performed by or against Borrower and any other assignee Banks.

All costs (including notification expenses and any taxes on the transfer), shall be solely borne by the assignee.

Borrower acknowledges the right of transfer under the terms set out in the preceding paragraphs and herewith expressly accepts such transfer, now for then.

The effects of the transfer with respect to Borrower are conditioned upon the transfer contract or contracts being notified to the same.

It is expressly agreed, however, that Bank may use all receivables under the Loan, without restrictions, as “non-negotiable assets” to be provided as collateral in favour of the European central Bank and/or of the Bank of Italy for refinancing loans granted by the latter within the “Abaco” (Collateralised Bank Assets) procedure, as regulated by the provisions governing “Eurosystem monetary policy instruments” for the time being.

The Parties expressly agree that Borrower has no right to assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits and obligations under this contract, unless this is a legal effect consequent to mergers or split-ups to which Bank has given its prior consent.
