3.5

If based on such calculation the EBIT Target has been reached or exceeded as of the close of the Company’s financial year ended on December 31, 2018, the Purchaser shall pay the Additional Consideration to the Sellers in the proportions set out above within twenty (20) Business Days following the approval of the Company’s audited annual accounts for the year ended on December 31, 2018 by the Purchaser acting as shareholder of the Company.

In the event the EBIT Target has not been reached or exceeded as of the close of the Company’s financial year ended on December 31, 2018, the Purchaser shall inform and send a notice to the Sellers in that respect including a copy of the Company’s audited annual accounts for the year ended on December 31, 2018 as well as the Purchaser’s calculation of the EBIT within twenty (20) Business Days following the approval of the Company’s audited annual accounts for the year ended on December 31, 2018 and the Additional Consideration will not be paid.

In case of a disagreement between the Sellers and the Purchaser as to these draft annual accounts, the Purchaser and the Sellers shall try to settle their disagreement amicably within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt by the Purchaser of the Sellers’ comments. If the disagreement between the Purchaser and the Sellers consists in a different valuation of one or more accounting items resulting in a variation of the EBIT of less than EUR 40,000, the draft annual accounts established by the Purchaser shall be retained and there shall be no disagreement between the Purchaser and the Sellers. If the Purchaser and the Sellers cannot resolve their disagreement by negotiation within the above ten (10) Business Days, the matter shall be settled by the Independent Accounting Expert and the fees of the Independent Accounting Expert shall be borne by the Sellers, pro rata between them to their respective shareholding in the Company immediately before Completion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure or delay of the Purchaser in providing a Claim Notice shall not release the Sellers from any of its obligations under clause 1 of this Schedule 4 except and to the extent that Losses in respect of such Warranty Claim are increased as a result of a failure by the Purchaser to give Claim Notice as contemplated by this clause.

4.	Limitations

4.1

Financial limits

Except with respect to breaches of the Fundamental Sellers’ Warranties as to which the limitation in this clause 4.1 shall not apply, the liability of the Sellers under or in respect of the Sellers’ Warranties shall be limited as follows:

(a)

the Sellers shall not be liable in respect of, and there shall be disregarded for all purposes, any Warranty Claim (per claim or group of related claims based on the same facts or circumstances) unless the amount of the Losses to which the Purchaser would, but for this subparagraph, be entitled as a result of that Warranty Claim exceeds EUR 20,000;

(b)

in respect of any Warranty Claims relating to the Fundamental Sellers’ Warranties, unless the Purchaser gives notice of the relevant Warranty Claim within twenty (20) Business Days following expiry of the statute of limitations applicable to the relevant matter;

(c)

in respect of all other Sellers’ Warranties, unless the Purchaser gives to the Sellers notice of the relevant Warranty Claim on or before the third anniversary of the date of this Agreement.

Any notice under this paragraph 4.2 shall contain general details of the nature of the Warranty Claim, to the extent reasonably available at the date of such notice.

5.	Third party claims

5.1

If a Warranty Claim arises as a result of, or in connection with, a liability or alleged liability to a third party (a Third Party Claim), the Purchaser may at its sole discretion either elect to:

(i) assume at its own costs the conduct of any dispute, compromise, defence or appeal of the Third Party Claim and of any incidental negotiations in the best interest of the Company and according to the following terms:

•

The Sellers shall be kept informed of the progress of the Third Party Claim;

•

The Sellers shall be given the opportunity to comment on the conduct of any dispute, defence, compromise or appeal of the Third Party Claim;

•

The Purchaser shall not and shall procure that the Company shall not settle any Third Party Claim without the Sellers’ prior consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Sellers do not consent to the above mentioned proposed settlement, admission of liability, agreement, or compromise, they shall immediately assume the exclusive control of the Third Party Claim and shall be fully and solely liable with respect to such Third Party Claim for the full amount of the Losses suffered by the Purchaser and/or the Company, it being understood that their liability shall not be subject to any indemnification limitations set out herein; or

(ii) let the Sellers assume, at their own costs, the conduct of any dispute, compromise, defence or appeal of the Third Party Claim and of any incidental negotiations in the best interest of the Company and according to the following terms:

•

the Purchaser shall procure that the Company makes available to the Sellers such persons and all such information as the Sellers may reasonably request for assessing, contesting, disputing, defending, appealing or compromising the Third Party Claim;

•

the Sellers shall keep the Purchaser informed of the progress of the Third Party Claim and provide the Purchaser with copies of all relevant documents and such other information in their possession as may be requested by the Purchaser (acting reasonably);

•

the Purchaser and the Company shall be given the opportunity to regularly comment on the conduct of any dispute, defence, compromise or appeal of the Third Party Claim and the Sellers shall take such comments into account consider in good faith, and not unreasonably reject, any such comments or suggestions made or issues raised by the Purchaser and/or the Company regarding the conduct of the defence of such Third Party Claim;

•

the Purchaser shall procure that the Company takes such action to assess, contest, dispute, defend, appeal or compromise the Third Party Claim as the Sellers may reasonably request and does not make any admission of liability, agreement, settlement or compromise in relation to the Third Party Claim without the prior written approval of the Sellers (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and

•

the Sellers shall not settle any Third Party Claim without the Purchaser’s prior consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

5.2

In absence of any election, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to assume the conduct of the dispute, compromise, defence or appeal of the Third Party Claim.

5.3

Any non-compliance by the Purchaser with any of its obligations under clause 5.1 shall have no consequence on the Purchaser’s ability to make a Warranty Claim for indemnification pursuant to the terms of this Agreement save that the Losses to be indemnified by the Sellers shall be reduced by any Losses suffered by the Sellers by reason of the Purchaser not complying with its obligations under clause 5.1.

6.	Tax Savings arising from the Losses

Any amount for which the Sellers would otherwise have been liable under this Agreement in respect of any Losses suffered by the Purchaser or the Company shall be reduced by the amount (if any) by which any Tax for which the Purchaser or the Company concerned would otherwise have been liable is actually reduced or extinguished as a result of the matter giving rise to such Losses.

7.	Recovery from third parties and savings

7.1

If:

(a)

the Sellers make a payment in respect of a Warranty Claim (the Damages Payment);

(b)

at any time after making such payment the Company or the Purchaser receives any sum (other than from the Sellers) or any quantifiable financial benefit or makes any savings which would not have been received or made but for the matter or circumstance which gave rise to the relevant Warranty Claim (the Third Party Sum);

(c)

the receipt of the Third Party Sum was not taken into account in calculating the Damages Payment; and

(d)

the aggregate of the Third Party Sum (net of any deductibles or other expenses incurred in connection therewith) and the Damages Payment exceeds the amount required to compensate the Purchaser or the Company concerned (as the case may be) in full for the matter or circumstance which gave rise to the relevant Warranty Claim (such excess being the Excess Recovery),

then the Purchaser shall, promptly following receipt of the Third Party Sum by it or the relevant Company, repay to the Sellers an amount equal to the lower of (i) the Excess Recovery and (ii) the Damages Payment.

7.2

If before the Sellers make a payment in respect of a Warranty Claim the Company or the Purchaser becomes entitled to receive a sum from a third party (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief, insurance or otherwise) as a result of the matter or circumstance giving rise to the relevant Warranty Claim, then the Purchaser shall take, and shall procure that the Company takes, all reasonable steps to recover such sum from such third party. Any sum the Purchaser or the Company received from the third party (net of any deductibles or other expenses incurred in connection therewith), shall be taken into account in calculating the Damages Payment (if any) to be made by the Sellers in respect of the relevant Warranty Claim. The Damages Payment (if any) shall be reduced by the amount that the Company or the Purchaser is entitled to receive from such a third party if such sum has not been effectively received by the Company or the Purchaser by reason of the Purchaser or the Company failing to take all appropriate steps to receive it.

8.	Double recovery

The Purchaser shall not be entitled to recover from the Sellers the same loss more than once pursuant to one or more Warranty Claim.

9.	Provisions in the Accounts

The Sellers’ liability in respect of a Warranty Claim shall, as the case may be, be reduced by the amount of any provision made in the Locked-Box Accounts in respect of the matter giving rise to the relevant Warranty Claim.

10.

Gross-up

All sums payable to the Purchaser hereunder as a result of any Warranty Claim shall be paid free and clear of all deductions or withholdings whatsoever, save only as may be required by applicable law.

If any such amount results in an actual Tax liability of the Purchaser of such amount (or would result in a Tax liability if the Purchaser were not able to offset such liability against tax losses), the Sellers undertake to pay to the recipient such further sum as will ensure that the net amount received and retained by it after such actual Tax liability is taken into account shall equal the full amount which would have been received and retained by the Purchaser in the absence of such actual Tax liability.

11.

Bank Guarantee

In order to secure the payment of the Indemnification Obligations of the Sellers, the Sellers shall procure the issuance of the Bank Guarantee to the benefit of the Purchaser and such Bank Guarantee shall remain in place until twenty (20) Business Days after expiry of the time limit provided in clause 4.2 (a) of this Schedule 4.

The Parties agree that the amount of the Bank Guarantee shall be reduced from time to time as follows:


Period	Amount of Bank Guarantee
From Completion (included) until the first anniversary of Completion (excluded):	€	700,000
From the first anniversary of Completion (included) until the second anniversary of Completion (excluded):	€	600,000
From the second anniversary of Completion (included) until the third anniversary of Completion (excluded):	€	500,000
From the third anniversary of Completion (included) until the fourth anniversary of Completion (excluded):	€	300,000
From the fourth anniversary of Completion (included) until the fifth anniversary of Completion plus six months (excluded):	€	200,000
From the fifth anniversary of Completion (included) plus six months:	€	0

12.

Beneficiary of the Sellers’ Warranties

Only the Purchaser (with the express exclusion of the Company) shall be entitled to bring a claim with respect to a Warranty Claim under or in connection with this Agreement due to its intuitu personae feature.

The Purchaser cannot and shall not sell, assign or transfer its right to bring a Warranty Claim under or in connection with this Agreement to any person or entity (including, without however limitation, to a potential purchaser of the Company, of the Shares and/or of the Assets) other than one of its Affiliates unless expressly authorised under clause 16. For the avoidance of doubt, in case the Purchaser sells, assigns or transfers the Company, the Shares, and/or the Assets to an entity, this shall not affect its right to bring a Warranty Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, but this right shall not pass to such purchaser, assignee or transferee and the Sellers shall not be or become liable in any manner and for any reason whatsoever vis-à-vis such purchaser, assignee or transferee.

13.

Moderation

If and to the extent there is a Breach, the Sellers shall have the opportunity (but shall not be obliged) to remedy the Breach by placing the Purchaser within an appropriate period of time, which shall be no longer than 20 (twenty) Business Days from reception by the Sellers of written notice by the Purchaser of a Sellers’ Warranty Claim, in the position the Purchaser would have been if the Sellers’ Warranties object of the Sellers’ Warranty Claim would have been true and accurate and not misleading (restitution in kind). If the Sellers do not achieve such result within the aforementioned period of time, the Purchaser shall be entitled to be indemnified in cash in accordance with this Agreement.

Schedule 5 - Leakage

(a)	any dividend or other shareholder distribution, whether in cash or in kind, declared, paid or made by the Company to any of the Sellers or any of their Affiliates or any of their Connected Persons;
