The persons appearing sub 1 and 3 certify that as a result of the aforementioned reservation of the person appearing sub 1 of the aforementioned underground parking garage their desire is confirmed to dedicate the property described II.b. for multiple land use and consequently to build a volume plot underground, which concerns the existing underground parking garage (as shaded on the aforementioned plan of land surveyor Veerle Wuyts dated July 14, 2019).

Special burdens and conditions:

As aforementioned, the buyer wishes to construct an office complex with research lab and underground parking area on the property sold by this deed (hereinafter referred to as “the Galapagos Project”). This project will be part of a much greater redevelopment of the so-called Ragheno site and with expansion of the entire station area of Mechelen, by various parties. Thereby it must be noted that the sellers only act in their capacity as owner/seller of lands and do not have the intention to act as developer.

With regard to the construction of the Galapagos Project and the future development of the surrounding zones, parties wish to make a number of agreements.

The buyer will develop the south-east side of the Galapagos Project (side of the Bautersemstraat) in accordance with annex 2 to the current deed (with the understanding that annex 2 only indicates who the facade of the Galapagos Project will be developed and is not representative for the open area next to the Galapagos Project).

Parties commit to develop the area between the Galapagos Project and the qualitative real estate project which will be developed on the adjacent plot (i.e. the zone non-aedificandi as outlined below), to design it or have it

10

designed as a high-quality area.

The road on the north-east side of the Galapagos Project will be installed amongst others by the person appearing sub 3 (but thus not for the persons appearing 1 and 2) in accordance with the future environmental permit for the Galapagos Project.

The person appearing sub 1 will, if required, grant the necessary rights to the person appearing sub 3. Subsequently, the installed road will be transferred by the person appearing sub 1 to the City of Mechelen to be included in the public domain.

The sellers give no guarantees with regard to the future destination of the real estate property, the possibility to obtain permits for the Galapagos Project on the real estate property or the activity the buyer and/or Galapagos NV wish to develop on the real estate property. The buyer bears the full development risk with regard to the Galapagos Project, including permits, spatial planning, the effect of a brownfield covenant, installation public domain and (small) road systems, etc.

The buyer declares to have taken note of the conditions with regard to the development of an industrial building on the real estate property, imposed by the City of Mechelen by means of a board decision of March 24, 2017, of which they declare to have received a copy, and commits to comply with these conditions, without any form of recourse against the sellers. The buyer also declares to have taken note of the order given by the City of Mechelen to the design team KCAP ARCADIS OKRA for the preparation of a Global Master Plan “Mechelen Ragheno”.

The buyer commits not to admit a supermarket or pharmacy in the Galapagos Project.

Any residential function for the Galapagos Project is excluded. The buyer is forbidden to give the Galapagos Project a residential function, even for a small part, with the exemption of a caretakers house on the condition that a caretakers house is permitted by the regulations and the permits.

Along the canal and on the part between the real estate property and the Bautersemstraat, a high-quality real estate project will be developed. The buyer will not perform any actions which would materially restrict the possibility to develop or the value of this high-quality real estate project and will also impose this obligation on any third party who would acquire rights on the real estate property and/or the Galapagos Project.

 

11

 

The sellers commit to impose the obligation on any third party to which they would sell land or who shall be responsible for the development of the high-quality real estate project along the Galapagos Project, with the design and the planning of the project around the real estate property, to take into account the Galapagos Project so that no actions are taken which could materially limit the value of the project, without the sellers, however, being able to be held responsible for the non-compliance with these obligations by a third party.

The buyer will be responsible for all obligations concerning earth movement in the context of the Galapagos Project.

Furthermore, the buyer wishes to realize a permanent connection for pedestrians between the Galapagos Project and the (existing and in the future new) train station of Mechelen. Therefore, the sellers commit for the benefit of the currently sold real estate property (dominant tenement) to grant the necessary right of way on the lands of which one of them is the owner (servient tenement). Moreover, the sellers will assist the buyer, if necessary, in their negotiations with third parties who supposedly have rights on the Ragheno site in order to realize such permanent connection, however without acting on behalf of any third parties.

If necessary, the sellers will grant a right of way on the adjacent plots of which one of them is owner, for the installation of utility lines in the context of the Galapagos Project.

The buyer declares to have knowledge of the technical information with regard to the stability of the underground parking in the subsurface of the plot described above under II.b, on which the Galapagos Project will in part be developed. The buyer also declares that the information provided by the seller sub 1 concerning the stability of this parking was also used by its own stability engineers for the technical analysis of the Galapagos Project. The seller sub 1 declares that the information it has provided concerning the stability of the parking is complete and correct, so that the buyer can use this as a basis for the analysis of the stability of the Galapagos Project.

Before the start of the works for the Galapagos Project, a mutual location description will be prepared between the seller and the buyers, by a research agency hired by the buyer and at the expense of the buyer. The buyer will keep the seller sub 1 informed about the scheduling of the works.

 

12

 

The current purchase-sale does not relate to the goods still present on the sold real estate property (even if these could be considered as immovable), such as e.g. light poles, atm’s, beams, gates, etc. The person appearing sub 1 commits to remove these goods and to shut off the utility lines no later than six months after the relevant first request by registered letter of the person appearing sub 3. Insofar as needed, the persons appearing sub 1 and 3 will make any other practical agreements that may be needed in this regard.

The buyer will inform the seller sub 1 in a timely manner about the works with regard to the Galapagos Project and will provide the necessary information or where necessary provide access to the plans, and any comments of the seller sub 1 (with the understanding that the seller sub 1 is not obligated to make comments and that the absence of comments by the seller sub 1 cannot be considered as an acceptance), will be communicated and discussed as soon as possible, and to the extent reasonably possible, will be resolved, so that the Galapagos Project will be delayed as little as possible as a result thereof. The buyer also commits to make the necessary agreements with the seller sub 1 with regard to the safety in and around the parking during the works of the Galapagos Project.

is or was performed that is included in the list of institutions and activities that could cause soil pollution, as referred to in the Soil Decree, with the exception of the aforementioned plots 0049B6P0000, 0049E4P0001 and 0049A5P0001.

In letters from the City of Mechelen dated November nineteenth two thousand and eighteen, November thirtieth two thousand and eighteen and December fifth two thousand and eighteen, it is confirmed that a permit or report is known in connection with a bothersome institution that is or was operated on the following plots:

plot number 0049B6P0000:

The sold properties in the past were already the object of an exploratory soil survey.  The most recent exploratory soil survey report was prepared by ABO nv and is dated December fourteenth two thousand and eighteen. This is less than one year before the transfer which takes place in the context of the sale, object of this deed.

The sellers declare that since that date as far as they know one high-risk institution is located on the sold properties but that since that date no damage event has taken place on the land.

The searches of the notary show that the purpose of the land to be investigated in accordance with the current development plans or zoning plans since the date of the signing of the most recent exploratory survey report has not changed in the sense that a zoning type with a lower soil remediation standard applies.

The zoning description of the investigated soil did not change either.
