(Arconic and Mill Products hereinafter individually referred to as a "Party" or a "Co-Owner", collectively as the "Parties" or the "Co-Owners").

 

BACKGROUND:

 

AThe Parties record, that the Property registered under the land registry number Székesfehérvár urban zone 9820/15 ("Plot Property") is owned by Arconic in a 46/100 ratio and by Mill Products in a 54/100 ratio.

 

BArconic previously submitted a request to the competent land registry office in order to have the buildings erected on the Plot Property registered as separate properties in accordance with Section 12 point a) subpoint aa) of Act CXLI of 1997 on the land registry and Section 59 paragraph (2) of FVM Regulation No. 109/1999 (XII.29.) on the implementation of Act CXLI of 1997 on the land registry. In accordance with Arconic's request, the buildings (collectively the "Buildings") have been registered under topographical lot numbers 9820/15/A through 9820/15/V in the land registry. For the sake of clarity, the term 'Plot Property' shall not include the Buildings.

 

CThe quotaholders of Arconic signed a Secession Agreement dated 9 September 2019, according to which and under the legal title of secession, Mill Products, as legal successor, acquired from Arconic, as legal predecessor, the 54/100 property ratio of (interest in) the Plot Property, and the exclusive (1/1) ownership of the Buildings specified in Annex 5 (the "Mill Products Buildings"). The Buildings specified in Annex 6 (the "Arconic Buildings") remained the exclusive (1/1) property of Arconic.

 

DThe Parties record that, simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, they executed (i) land use right agreements with respect to the Mill Products Buildings and the Arconic Buildings (collectively the "Land Use Right Agreements") as well as (ii) various service contracts (collectively the "Service Contracts") with respect to certain public utility and other services on the Plot Property.

 

EConsidering that the Plot Property is in the joint ownership of the Parties, it is the intention of the Parties as Co-Owners to jointly control the use of the Plot Property through consensus and agreement between them subject to the terms and conditions hereof.
