(a)Prior to submitting this application for issue of a guarantee and the related grant of indemnity on our part, we have accessed the information provided by Barclays Bank Ireland PLC, Italy branch (the “Bank”) on its website www.barclays.it, and reviewed the following documents: (i) a copy of the Information Sheets (Articles 115 et seq. of Legislative Decree No. 385 of 1 September 1993 and Bank of Italy Regulatory Instructions of 9 February 2011 on the subject of transparency of banking and financial transactions and services) containing the information on the Bank, as well as the terms and conditions and features of the services offered, and (ii) the guide to the out-of- court dispute resolution under article 128-bis of the Italian banking act;

(b)We have been informed of the possibility of obtaining, on request and free of charge, a copy of the application for the issue of a guarantee to be submitted by us and this letter of indemnity to be issued by us, as well as the Summary Document, even before submission of the application itself and without commitment for the parties, and that we have availed ourselves of that possibility;

(c)We do not act in the capacity as "consumers" pursuant to Article 3(1)(a) of Legislative Decree No. 206 of 6 September 2005.

We acknowledge that, for the purposes hereof, the Bank classified us as “client different from consumer/retail customer” and we are aware that the Bank, after the execution hereof, shall change the above classification, on our demand, depending on the applicable legal requirements.

1.Purpose and limitations on the Bank's liability

1.1We hereby acknowledge that we are requesting you to issue a bank guarantee on the terms and conditions and for the Maximum Amount Guaranteed set out above, payable by you upon first request from the beneficiary, with no possibility of our raising any objection irrespective of the circumstances of our relationship with the beneficiary.

1.2That Guarantee shall remain in force until the expiry date set out above.

1.3We hereby give our express consent, under our own responsibility, that you may, in the event of enforcement of the Guarantee, immediately pay the amount claimed by the beneficiary, following its simple written request, irrespective of any challenge or dispute raised by anyone, up to the Maximum Amount Guaranteed.

1.4The Guarantee to be issued by you following our application shall be governed by Italian Law. We hereby agree, under our entire responsibility, to bear at our exclusive expense any prejudicial consequence, loss, cost, expense or charge of any type and amount that may directly or indirectly derive from the application of the law of that jurisdiction and/or other

3

foreign jurisdictions, or the terms that your foreign correspondents may require you to accept for the purposes of the issue of the Guarantee, hereby releasing the Bank and any company belonging to the Bank's banking group from any liability vis-à-vis ourselves and/or third parties. In the event of any prejudicial consequence, loss, cost, expense or charge of any type and amount arising directly or indirectly for the Bank and/or other companies belonging to the Bank's banking group from application of the law of that jurisdiction and/or other foreign jurisdictions, or the terms that your foreign correspondents may require you to accept for the purposes of issue of the Guarantee, we hereby undertake to indemnify and hold harmless the Bank and/or any other company belonging to the Bank's banking group, arranging promptly to make good, without exception, any loss whatsoever and to immediately refund any other cost, expense or charge the latter may have incurred as a consequence of the application of the rules of the above-mentioned foreign jurisdictions, or the terms that your foreign correspondents may require you to accept for the purposes of issue of the Guarantee.

1.5Where the Bank uses an electronic system to send the Guarantee or any document or correspondence relating thereto, we relieve the Bank and its correspondents of any liability for delays or errors due to the electronic system used.

1.6It is agreed that, where a payment made by us in your favour is subject to deductions or withholding taxes, we shall increase the amount of that payment so that the Bank receives what would be due to it in the absence of such deductions or withholding taxes. It is also agreed that any exchange risk is to be borne by us.

2.Fee

2.1As long as the original Guarantee issued by you has not been returned to you by the beneficiary or, failing this, the latter has not issued you with an equivalent declaration of release, we shall pay you a fee at the annual rate of 0,50% (Zero point fifty percent), calculated on the Maximum Amount Guaranteed, starting from the date of issuance, plus maximum Euro 50,000.00 (Euro fifty thousands/00) as management fees . To this end, we hereby authorize you to debit that fee, together with any expenses and charges, to our current account No. 01/424/412, IBAN IT10F0305101699000000000412. with the Bank, Barclays Bank Ireland PLC, Milan branch branch, or any other current account held by us with the Bank.

3.Indemnity

4

3.1The aforesaid Guarantee is understood to be provided by you on our exclusive behalf and at our exclusive risk and, in the event of enforcement of the Guarantee, we irrevocably and unconditionally undertake by means of this letter of indemnity to pay you promptly, at your simple request, the guaranteed sum of EUR 270.000.000,00 (EUR Two hundred and seventy million) plus interest and expenses. In addition, even if the Guarantee is not enforced, we undertake to indemnify and hold you harmless from any further cost, charge, expense or loss, including those deriving from or relating to legal proceedings, that may be incurred by you in relation thereto (including as a consequence of fiscal obligations in Italy or abroad connected with the issue of the Guarantee, therein including those relating to withholding tax on any fees you may owe to your correspondents), even before you have made the payment.

3.2We also hereby undertake to indemnify and hold you harmless with reference to all the related expenses, commissions and fees, taxes and duties of any kind payable by you and any of your correspondents, including foreign correspondents, from the date of issue of the Guarantee or from the time when you request one or more correspondents, including foreign correspondents, to issue same on our behalf. These obligations of ours shall remain in force and valid so long as the Guarantee issued by you remains in force and in any event until the original Guarantee agreement has been returned to you or until the beneficiary, possibly also via your correspondents, including foreign correspondents, has issued you with a formal declaration of full release in writing, containing inter alia an express declaration of waiver of any and every claim against the Bank.

3.3In addition to the provisions of the preceding subsections, this indemnity also refers to any claims received via your correspondents, including foreign correspondents. We also acknowledge and agree that we remain liable to you for all charges of a fiscal nature that you may be called upon to pay at any time and for any reason and that derive from or are connected with the Guarantee provided by you.

3.4Our commitment to you is to be considered as extending for 30 (thirty) days after expiry of the Guarantee issued by you, so that you may pass on to us any claims and/or requests, on the understanding that we expressly acknowledge that the first and second paragraphs of Article 1952 of the Italian Civil Code shall not apply and that, therefore, you shall always have recourse against us. We hereby waive any right to raise any objection against you that we may have raised against the principal creditor at the time of payment, even where, for any reason, you have paid the beneficiary without having informed us and/or we have also paid the debt. It is understood in addition that in any case you shall always have the option to bring an action for restitution against the creditor.

4.Waiver of objections

5

4.1In consideration of the automatic, autonomous nature of the Guarantee you are to provide, we give you an undertaking that we shall not raise any exception or objection to payment by you in the event of enforcement of the Guarantee and, in particular, that we shall not bring any legal action against you designed to prevent or delay its enforcement. Where we consider that the Guarantee has been wrongfully enforced – without prejudice to our obligation to pay what is due to you at your first request – we undertake to bring any actions for restitution solely and exclusively against the beneficiary of the Guarantee and/or other parties that may be involved, but in any case not against the Bank.

5.Monetary compliance of the transaction

5.1We also hereby accept any present and future liability concerning the monetary compliance of the transaction and, more generally, its conformity with the legal and regulatory provisions applicable thereto and we declare that the necessary monetary measures have been adopted, expressly relieving the Bank of any liability in this respect.

It is understood in any event that even if you send us the aforesaid notice later than the 3rd (third) Bank Working Day following its receipt by you, Article 1952 of the Italian Civil Code shall in no case apply and therefore the Bank shall always have recourse against us. We hereby expressly waive any right to raise any objection against you that we may have raised against the principal creditor at the time of payment, even where, for any reason, you have paid the beneficiary without having informed us and/or we have also paid the debt.

7.Right to revoke the credit line granted and possible cash collateral

6

expiry, at your unquestionable discretion and, in that case, we hereby undertake to release you from the commitments made.

7.2We acknowledge and agree that, in order to secure our obligations hereunder, pledged cash collateral is established in your favour over our current account no. 01/424/78389328, IBAN IT57V0305101699000078389328, pursuant to the current account agreement dated 23/02/2022, and the relevant pledge agreement dated 18/03/2022.

7.3We accept and agree that you may require us, at any time and as an express derogation from the restrictions set out in Article 1953 of the Italian Civil Code, to replace you with another guarantor. We hereby undertake to arrange without delay to conclude and sign, upon your simple request and at our exclusive expenses, any agreement or contract in public or private form as may be necessary or useful, in your unquestionable opinion, for your replacement by another guarantor.

8.Claims and extrajudicial resolution of disputes

8.1In the event of a dispute concerning the interpretation and/or implementation of this letter of indemnity or, more generally, the relationship with the Bank, the customer may submit a claim to the Bank's Claims Office, including by registered letter with return receipt or electronically, to the address Barclays Bank Ireland PLC, Italy branch, Complaints Office, Via della Moscova 18, 20121 Milan, or the e-mail address: reclami@barclays.it, or to the fax number +390254153222, or the certified e-mail (PEC) barclays.regulatory@pec.ie.barclays, or by filling in in the form available in the website www.barclays.it , “Complaints” section.

8.3If the claim is admitted, the Bank shall inform the customer how much time is needed to resolve the problem.

8.4If he does not receive a response within 60 days or is not satisfied with the response, the customer may appeal to the Banking Ombudsman (Arbitro Bancario Finanziario - ABF), subject to the following conditions:

(a)no more than twelve months have elapsed since submission of the claim to the Bank;

7

(b)the dispute concerns banking and financial transactions and services: 1) up to EUR 200,000, if the customer is seeking a sum of money; 2) without restriction on the amount if it is sought solely to ascertain rights, obligations and options (for example, if the complaint concerns failure to deliver the transparency documentation);

(c)the dispute has not already been reviewed by the judicial authority, arbitrators or conciliators. However, appeal to the Banking Ombudsman is possible if a conciliation procedure is not successful.

To know more on how to approach the ABF, the customer may consult the website www.arbitrobancariofinanziario.it directly.

8.5The Client has the right to initiate an arbitration procedure if he is not satisfied or has not received a reply despite the complaint filed pursuant to the previous paragraph under this article. In this respect, with reference to the requirement laid down under article 5, paragraph 1-bis, of Legislative Decree no 28, dated March 4th 2010, to initiate an arbitration procedure before appealing to the judicial authority, the Parties agree (in pursuance of the afore- mentioned article 5, paragraph 5) to submit the disputes arising out of or in relation to this agreement to the Conciliatore Bancario Finanziario – Associazione per la soluzione delle controversie bancarie, finanziarie e societarie – ADR, the banking conciliation Body (registered with the register of conciliation bodies held with the Ministry of Justice) as Body specializing in banking and financial disputes that has access to an arbitrator network spread throughout the national territory. In accordance with the freedom of choice of the body, the contracting parties – also after underwriting this agreement – may however agree on appealing to another body registered with the same Ministry of Justice’s register. This is without prejudice to the possibility,to the extent permitted by regulations, of starting the procedure as per article 128- bis of Legislative Decree no 385, dated September 1st 1993, that is, that of appealing to the Arbitro Bancario Finanziario, an out-of court scheme run by the Bank of Italy, which also fulfils the condition of admissibility as per article 5, paragraph 1-bis referred to above.

9.Applicable law and competent jurisdiction

9.1Without prejudice to Clause 1.4 above concerning the law applicable to the requested Guarantee, this letter of indemnity is governed by Italian law and must be interpreted on the basis thereof.

9.2We hereby undertake to submit any disputes deriving from this letter or connected therewith

– including those relating to its interpretation, validity, effectiveness, implementation or termination, and those relating to the non-contractual obligations deriving from it – to attempted mediation according to the provisions of the regulations of the Conciliation Service of the Milan Chamber of Arbitration, of which we expressly declare knowledge and full

8

acceptance, prior to bringing any arbitration or judicial proceedings. If the attempted conciliation fails, the dispute shall be referred to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of Milan.

10.1We may submit any requests for variation in the expiry date of the Guarantee or Maximum Amount Guaranteed to the Bank by sending a letter of request in writing.

10.2Irrespective of anything stated in the text of the Guarantee, we expressly acknowledge the Bank's right to assess any request for extension or amendment of the Guarantee at its unquestionable discretion.

10.3We hereby acknowledge and accept that, concomitantly with the effective date of such amendments, our grant of indemnity pursuant to this letter of indemnity shall be understood as extended accordingly.

11.Miscellaneous
