ARTICLE 6 - REMEDIES FOR BREACHES

6.1                                 Breaches and Infringements. In the event of an infringement (“inbreuk”) of any of the Warranties given by the Seller or in the event of a default (“tekortkoming”) in the compliance (“nakoming”) by the Seller of any other obligations under this Agreement (collectively: a “Breach”), the Seller shall reimburse and hold harmless (“schadeloos stellen”) either the Purchaser or the Company (at the option of the Purchaser) for all damages, losses, reasonable costs and expenses (“Damages”) suffered by the Purchaser or the Company as a result of the Breach, without prejudice to other statutory rights of the Purchaser.

6.2                                 Damages. The Parties agree that the Damages shall include the amount necessary to put the Purchaser – or at the option of the Purchaser, the Company – in a position similar to the position the Purchaser or Company would have been in without the relevant Breach

6.3                                 Claim on behalf of the Company. It is expressly understood that if and to the extent an event gives rise to a Claim under more than one Warranty, the Purchaser shall be entitled to file a Claim under any such breached Warranty as it may deem fit, on its own behalf and/or on behalf of the Company as third party beneficiary of the right to be reimbursed and held harmless pursuant to this Article 6, provided, however, that it cannot claim reimbursement of the same Damages twice. Also, for the avoidance of doubt it is expressly confirmed and understood that where this Article 6 refers to “Damages suffered by the Purchaser or the Company”, such damages shall not be deemed to have been doubly incurred by both the Purchaser and the Company, which means that any Damages suffered for which the Company is reimbursed cannot be claimed twice by the Purchaser, and vice versa.

6.4                                 Additional Indemnity. In addition, and without prejudice to Article 6.1, the Seller shall indemnify and hold the Purchaser and the Company harmless from any and all Damages arising out of or in connection with all liability of the Company for Taxes attributable to tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date, to the extent not reserved against in the Company’s balance sheet it being understood and agreed that (i) the threshold as set forth in Article 6.7 shall not apply and (ii) in the event the Tax

5

authorities have performed a full Tax audit in respect of a financial year and all Tax liabilities arising out of such Tax audit have been fully and finally settled by the Company, the liability of the Seller under this Article 6.4 shall be extinguished for (a) the Tax liabilities for which such Tax audit was performed and (b) such financial year (only).

6.5.                              Limitation of Liability. Subject to Article 6.8, the aggregate amount to which the Purchaser shall be subject pursuant to this Agreement shall be limited to €5,000,000.

6.6                                Survival. Subject to Article 6.8, all Warranties shall survive the Closing Date for three (3) years.

6.7                                Threshold.

(i)                                    The Purchaser shall not be entitled to seek indemnification for any Claim for Breach unless the total amount of Damages arising from such Breach exceeds €25,000;

(ii)                                 Subject to Article 6.8, the Purchaser agrees not to enforce any Claim until the aggregate amount of all indemnifiable Claims exceeds €250,000 and then the Purchaser shall be entitled to recover all Claims from the first Euro.

6.8                                 Qualifications to Limitations. If in any case a Claim has arisen by reason of:

(i)                                     fraud or wilful concealment or dishonesty or deliberate non-disclosure on the part of the Seller prior to the date of this Agreement; or

(ii)                                  the Seller not having good and unencumbered title to any of the Shares (other than as a result of a breach by Purchaser in the Original Agreement);

(iii)                               the Seller or any signatory on its behalf being claimed not to have had legal authority or capacity to enter into the Agreement or any agreement ancillary thereto;

then in any such case none of the limitations set forth in Articles 6.5, 6.6 and 6.7 shall apply.

6.9                                 Events after Closing. No Claim by Purchaser for any Breach shall arise to the extent that the Claim arises as a result of (i) any change in the accounting principles applied by the Company subsequent to Closing, or of (ii) any changes in applicable laws or regulations after Closing or of (iii) a new interpretation of existing laws by a court or other public authority in a judgement or decision published after Closing.

6.10                           Payments received. If the Seller has made a payment for damages and the Purchaser or the Company simultaneously therewith or subsequently thereto receives any benefit (tax, insurance or otherwise) other than from the Seller which would not have been received but for the circumstance giving rise to the Claim in respect of which the payment for damages was made by the Seller, the Purchaser shall, once it or the

6

Company has received the benefit, forthwith repay to the Seller an amount equal to the lesser of the amount of such benefit and the amount paid by the Seller.

6.11                          Claim Procedure.

(a)                                 The Purchaser shall give the Seller written notice (the “Indemnification Notice”) of any facts and the circumstances giving rise to a Claim within 30 days of the Purchaser’s becoming aware of the facts and circumstances giving rise to such Claims. However, failure of the Purchaser to give such notice within such 30-day period shall not relieve the Seller of its liability with respect to such Claim except to the extent that Purchaser’s failure to give notice within such period causes damages to Seller.

(b)                                If the Claim relates to a claim or the commencement of an action or proceeding by a Third Party against the Company and/or the Purchaser, then the Seller shall have, upon request within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Indemnification Notice (but not in any event after the settlement or compromise of such Claim), the right to defend, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any such matter involving the asserted liability of the Company and/or the Purchaser; provided, however, that if the Company and/or the Purchaser determines that there is a reasonable probability that a Claim may materially and adversely affect it, it shall at its own discretion have the right to defend (with the participation of the Seller, if the Seller so elects), compromise or settle such claim or suit, provided however the Seller has been timely informed of settlement negotiations. If the Seller shall decide that it will not defend, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any such matter involving the asserted liability of the Company and/or the Purchaser and the Company and/or the Purchaser shall incur costs directly or indirectly relating to this decision of the Seller, the Purchaser shall have full recourse against the Seller as to the costs incurred.

(c)                                 If the Claim does not relate to a claim or the commencement of an action or proceeding by a Third Party, the Seller shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of the Indemnification Notice during which it shall have the right to object to the subject matter and the amount of the Claim set forth in the Indemnification Notice by delivering written notice thereof to the Purchaser. If the Seller does not so object within such thirty-day period, it shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed that it is obligated to indemnify Purchaser for the matters set forth in the Indemnification Notice. If the Seller sends notice to the Purchaser objecting to the matters set forth in the Indemnification Notice, the Seller and the Purchaser shall use their best efforts to settle the Claim. If the Seller and the Purchaser are unable to settle the Claim, the matter shall be resolved in the manner set forth in Article 12.2 of this Agreement.
