Indemnification for Leakage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any exclusions or limitations set forth in Article 15 (Indemnification), but subject to Paragraphs 15.2(ii)(b), 15.2(iii) and 15.2(iv) and Paragraphs 16.1(i) and 16.1(ii), to the extent any Leakage is not deducted from the Purchase Price at Closing as a portion of the Estimated Leakage Amount, from and after the Closing Date, each Major Seller shall indemnify and pay to Buyer, on a Euro per Euro basis, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, an amount in cash equal to the amount of any Leakage received by or made for the benefit of, such Major Seller or his/her/its Affiliates (the “Leakage Concerned Seller”), as will be finally determined, following the delivery of a Post-Closing Leakage Notice in accordance with Paragraph 5.4 (Post-Closing Leakage Notice) below, in accordance with Paragraph 5.5 (Objection to Post-Closing Leakage Notice) below. For the sake of clarity, with respect to any particular Leakage, the Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that, subject to Paragraphs 16.1(i) and 16.1(ii), the portion of the Purchase Price paid by Buyer at the Closing to any Major Sellers other than the applicable Leakage Concerned Seller shall not be subject to any deduction in respect of such Leakage.

Pre-Closing Leakage Notice.

The Major Sellers acknowledge and agree that any Leakage received by or made for the benefit of any Leakage Concerned Seller during the period beginning on the Locked Box Date and ending at the Closing shall be deducted from the Major Sellers Purchase Price respectively paid to such Leakage Concerned Seller at Closing to the extent specified in the Pre-Closing Leakage Statement, and, to the extent any such Leakage is not so specified, Buyer shall be indemnified by such Leakage Concerned Seller for any such Leakage in accordance with Paragraph 5.2 (Indemnification for Leakage).

No earlier than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date and no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, each of the Major Sellers shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Buyer a reasonably detailed statement of the aggregate estimated Leakage received by or made (or to be received by or made) for the benefit of such Major Seller or his/her/its Affiliates (if any) between the period beginning on the Locked Box Date and ending on the Closing Date, which statement shall be duly executed by each such Major Seller (the “Pre-Closing Leakage Statement”). For any Major Seller whose Pre-Closing Leakage Statement as per the foregoing would not include any estimated Leakage, such Seller’s Pre-Closing Leakage Statement shall so state and shall be duly executed by each such Major Seller.

Following delivery of the Sellers’ Pre-Closing Leakage Statements, Buyer may submit comments and observations thereto and the applicable Leakage Concerned Seller shall in good faith take into account such comments and observations (including by discussing such comments and observations with Buyer in good faith) to determine whether any changes should be made to such Leakage Concerned Seller’s Pre-Closing Leakage Statement, it being understood, however, that in no event shall the Closing be delayed or the Closing Date be postponed if such Leakage Concerned Seller and Buyer are unable to reach an agreement with respect to any such comments or observations, in which case the Closing actions and transactions will occur on the basis of such Leakage Concerned Seller’s Pre-Closing Leakage Statement as delivered in accordance with this Paragraph 5.3. To the

Post-Closing Leakage Notice. On or prior to the later of (a) June 10, 2019 or (b) 120 Business Days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall give written notice to the applicable Leakage Concerned Sellers of any additional Leakage of which it becomes aware (to the extent such Leakage was not reflected pursuant to Paragraph 5.3 (Pre-Closing Leakage Notice)), and shall provide reasonable particulars thereof, including (i) the nature of the Leakage, and (ii) the amount of such Leakage (the “Post-Closing Leakage Notice”).

Objection to Post-Closing Leakage Notice. The applicable Leakage Concerned Sellers shall have the right to challenge in writing the Post-Closing Leakage Notice within thirty (30) Business Days from receipt thereof, specifying the subject matter of such Leakage Concerned Sellers’ disagreement and the reasons for such disagreement together with reasonable particulars thereof. In such case, the provisions of Paragraphs 4.4 (Attempted Agreement on the Disputed Items), 4.5 (Independent Auditor) and 4.6 (Engagement of the Independent Auditor) above shall apply, mutatis mutandis. Failure by the applicable Leakage Concerned Sellers to challenge the Post-Closing Leakage Notice in accordance with this Paragraph 5.5 shall constitute an acceptance of the Post-Closing Leakage Notice by the Sellers. For the avoidance of any doubt, none of the exclusions and limitations set forth in Article 15 (Indemnification) below (other than Paragraphs 15.2(ii)(b), 15.2(iii) and 15.2(iv)) shall apply to any amount to be paid to Buyer pursuant to this Article 5 (Locked Box).

Remedy. The rights and remedies provided in this Article 5 (Locked Box) shall be in addition to any other right of indemnification of Buyer pursuant to Article 15 (Indemnification), however arising in connection with, or by virtue of, any Leakage; provided, that no Leakage shall give rise to any right on the part of Buyer to rescind or terminate this Agreement or to refuse to perform its obligations hereunder.
