4.5

Further undertakings of Cap2

(a)

The Parties acknowledge that the SPA already provides that, subject to the condition precedent of the exercise of the Option by either Party, all the representations and warranties and indemnification obligations of Cap2 vis-à-vis VP and the Company under the SPA shall also extend, at the same terms and conditions, to the 3% portion of the corporate capital of the Company represented by the Option Shares at the date of the Closing under the SPA, as if such Option Shares had also been transferred to VP at such date as part of the Cap2 Share (as defined in the SPA). It is therefore hereby understood and agreed that, subject to the above condition precedent:

(i)

all the representations and warranties and the indemnification obligations of Cap2 under the SPA shall be considered as rendered to VP and the Company with reference only to the period until the date of the Closing under the SPA and not for the period thereafter;

(ii)

the Parties acknowledge and agree that VP or the Company shall be entitled to raise a claim for indemnification in accordance with the terms and conditions of the SPA also before the exercise of any Option and, therefore, also with respect to the Option Shares, while the above mentioned condition is still pending. With respect to any Loss that should result to be due by the Sellers to VP or the Company as consequence of any such claim under the SPA, a portion corresponding to 3% of such a Loss would automatically become due by Cap2 to the Buyer contingent upon the exercise of the Option by either Cap2 or VP, and the payment due for such portion of the Loss can be subtracted from the payment of the Purchase Price due by VP to Cap2 hereunder, (any balance to be paid in cash as provided under the SPA).

(b)

In addition and without prejudice to the representation and warranties made by Cap2 under the SPA and the Pledge Agreement and under Paragraph (a) above, Cap2 hereby further makes the following representations and give the following warranties to VP, each of which shall be true and correct as of, and as though made on, the date of this Agreement and the Closing of an Option Date:

(i)

Cap2 is a limited liability company, a duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Italy and has and will have full power and authority to conduct its business as presently and as then conducted and to own its assets and properties as presently and as then owned.

(ii)

Cap2 is and will not be insolvent or subject to any bankruptcy, liquidation, composition with creditors or similar bankruptcy or bankruptcy-like proceedings. Cap2 is not and will not be subject to any court order which could affect or limit the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement or the transfer of the Option Shares in accordance herewith.

(iii)

Cap2 is and will be at the Closing of an Option Date the absolute legal and beneficial owner of the Option Shares, which are and will be free from any security or other right of any third party (other than the pledge under the Pledge Agreement and save for what provided under this Agreement), and are and will not be subject to any attachment, foreclosure (pignoramento), seizure (sequestro) or to any other measure restraining the capacity to dispose of or benefit from the Option Shares or which may adversely affect the ability of VP to exercise the Option and become the unconditional owner thereof.

(c)

Cap2 shall fully indemnify VP or the Company for any breach of the above representations and warranties, on a Euro by Euro basis and for the entire duration of the relevant corresponding statute of limitation, if any.

(d)

It is further agreed that the Parties’ obligations to proceed with the Closing of the Option hereunder as consequence of the exercise of an Option shall in no manner be conditioned, refused, delayed or suspended as consequence of any dispute that may arise under the SPA and that the exercise of the Option and the enforcement of the parties’ rights to proceed with the Closing of the Option shall be considered as separate and stand alone obligations/rights independent from the SPA and from any event related to it.

5.	OTHER PROVISIONS REGARDING THE OPTION SHARES

5.1

Lock-up obligations

Without prejudice to the other provisions of this Agreement, during the term of 5 (five) years from the date hereof, Cap2 and Matteo Rigamonti shall not Transfer, or permit the Transfer, in any manner or for any cause whatsoever, the right of ownership (“proprietà”) or the bare ownership (“nuda proprietà”) over any interest in (including, therefore, any option right to subscribe for new shares), respectively, (a) the Option Shares and (b) the shares in Cap2 owned by Matteo Rigamonti.

Any breach of this Section 5.1 shall trigger (x) the automatic loss of any right of Cap2 to exercise any Put Option and (y) the right (but not the obligation) for VP to request Matteo Rigamonti to immediately resign from the Board of Directors, if still in office, and/or exercise the Call Option at any time, starting immediately from the moment VP becomes aware of the breach, i.e., also before the Call Option Period, through the sending of the relevant Notice of Exercise. In such case, the Purchase Price will be calculated based on the Annual Financial Statements and the relevant Reported Ebitda and Net Financial Position of the Fiscal Year immediately before the year when the Call Option is so exercised (as determined pursuant to section 3.7 above), it being further agreed that, (i) should the Annual Financial Statements for such prior year not yet be approved or should the Reported Ebitda and the Net Financial Position related to such Annual Financial Statements not yet be finally determined between the Parties pursuant to section 3.7 above, the Closing of the Option Date shall automatically be considered to be 10 Business Days from the relevant Purchase Price Determination Date, and (ii) in any event, should the Option be exercised at any time before the end of 2015 Fiscal Year, the Purchase Price shall be equal to the Purchase Price Under the SPA.

5.2

Pre-emption Right

The Parties agree that the by-laws adopted by the Company at Closing include a pre-emption clause which has been inserted exclusively in the interest of VP and as a protection for VP against possible Transfers of the Option Shares to unapproved third parties. Cap2 hereby agrees and accepts that, should VP so decide in the future, the clause can be removed from the by-laws, also without the agreement of Cap2 in this respect and that Cap2 shall have no right to withdraw from the Company as effect of such a resolution. It is also further understood that in case of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Company’s by-laws and the provisions of this Agreement, the latter shall prevail.

5.3

Put and Call Options triggered by specific events

The parties agree on the following:

(a)

should VP, at any moment during the term of 5 years from the date hereof, enter into a Significant Transaction, Cap2 and VP shall have the right to exercise, respectively, the Put and the Call Option over the Option Shares, in accordance with the following provisions:

(i)

VP shall notify Cap2 of the existence of such Significant Transaction within [20 (twenty)] Business Days from the Significant Transaction Date, by sending a Significant Transaction Notice within the same term;

(ii)

VP and Cap2 shall have the right to exercise, respectively, the Call Option and the Put Option by sending to the other Party a Notice of Exercise during the period between the date VP has sent the Significant Transaction Notice to Cap2 in accordance with (a) above and 20 (twenty) Business Days from the date of receipt by Cap2 of such Significant Transaction Notice;

(iii)

in either case, the relevant Purchase Price shall the higher of:

(x)

the purchase price of the Company offered by the third party, attributable to the percentage of the corporate capital of the Company represented by the Option Share; and

(y)

the Purchase Price derived from the Reported Ebitda and the Net Financial Position of the relevant Annual Financial Statements of the Fiscal Year immediately prior to the year when the Option is so exercised, it being further understood that, should the relevant Annual Financial Statements not yet been approved or should the Reported Ebitda and the Net Financial Position related to such Annual Financial Statements of such prior year not yet been finally determined between the Parties pursuant to section 3.7 above, the Closing of the Option Date shall automatically be considered to fall on the 10th Business Day after the relevant Purchase Price Determination Date;

(b)

should the Company, at any moment during the term of 5 years from the date hereof, resolve upon any capital increase (other than (a) capital increases required under mandatory provisions of law in case of the Company’s losses, in order to reconstitute the Company’s capital and maintain it up to the minimum level provided by the law or (b) capital increases contemplated by any Significant Transaction) which, if not subscribed by Cap2, would determine a dilution of its participation in the Company, Cap 2, as an alternative to its right to subscribe for its portion of such capital increase in accordance with applicable laws (or should such right of Cap2 to subscribe be excluded for any reason), shall have the right to exercise the Put Option in accordance with the following provisions:

(i)

The Put Option shall be exercised during the period of 20 (twenty) Business Days from the date of registration of the relevant resolution of the capital increase in the Companies’ Register, by sending to VP a Notice of Exercise within such term (it being understood that VP shall cause the Company not to set the term for the subscription of the capital increase prior to the expiration of such term);

(ii)

in such case, should the Option be exercised, the Purchase Price will be calculated based on the Annual Financial Statements and the relevant Reported Ebitda and Net Financial Position of the Fiscal Year immediately before the year when the relevant shareholders’ resolution resolving upon such capital increase has been adopted (as determined pursuant to section 3.7 above), it being further agreed that:

(a)

unless the capital increase is required under mandatory provisions of law in case of the Company’s losses, in order to reconstitute the Company’s capital from the minimum required by the law up to the current level of € 1 million of nominal value, the Purchase Price shall be determined according to the following formula:

[(Reported Ebitda x 10) - Net Financial Position] x Participation Percentage

it being understood that the Participation Percentage shall in any event be equal to the percentage of the corporate capital of the Company represented by the Option Shares prior to the execution of the capital increase (and therefore without giving effect to any possible dilution deriving therefrom); and

(b)

should the Annual Financial Statements for such prior year not yet be approved, or should the Reported Ebitda and the Net Financial Position related to such Annual Financial Statements not yet been finally determined between the Parties pursuant to section 3.7 above, the Closing of the Option Date shall automatically be postponed to the 10th Business Day following the Purchase Price Determination Date.

5.4

Exemptions

Neither the lock-up obligations under section 5.1 above, nor the Pre-emption Right under section 5.2 shall apply:

(a)

to any Transfer of the Option Shares by Cap2 to VP or to VP’s Affiliates or Related Parties or as consequence of the exercise of an Option;

(b)

to any Transfer of Option Shares that has been authorized beforehand in writing by VP (in its sole discretion), provided that the prior authorization of a Transfer as exception of Cap2’s lock-up obligations under section 5.1 above shall not constitute a waiver of the Pre-emption Right and that the authorized third party shall have to adhere to this Agreement so as to be bound by the terms of this Agreement applicable to Cap2 (which shall remain jointly liable with such authorized third party for the relevant compliance).

(c)

to any Transfer of the Option Shares or of the shares held by Matteo Rigamonti in Cap2, to the extent (i) such Transfer is made in favor of a nominee (intestazione fiduciaria) or a trustee for which Mr. Matteo Rigamonti, his spouse or his relatives within the second degree are the sole beneficiaries; and (ii) the assignee has signed and delivered to VP a copy of this Agreement for adherence, it being understood that, in such case, Matteo Rigamonti and Cap2 shall remain jointly liable with such assignee.

5.5

Company’s Board of Directors

The Parties agree that the Company shall be managed by a board of directors composed of as many directors as those resolved at any time upon the shareholders’ meeting at its full discretion, provided that:

(a)

Vistaprint shall cause the general meeting of the Company to appoint Matteo Rigamonti as member of the Board of Directors (“Cap2 Director”) of the Company and to keep the office for a period starting from the date hereof until the approval of the Financial Statements for the Fiscal Year 2015 (or until the date of exercise of an Option, if earlier), without any operational functions, therefore without (i) any compensation or (ii) any delegation of any powers, unless otherwise decided by the Board of Directors, on a case-by-case basis and at its full discretion (in which case the Board shall also be entitled to revoke such delegation at any time and at its full discretion) and with no right to be re-appointed unless otherwise decided by VP in its own discretion;

(b)

should an Option be exercised hereunder before the expiration of the term indicated in (a) above, Matteo Rigamonti shall resign from the office effective as of the Closing of the Option Date, in accordance with section 4.3 (b) (i) above;

(c)

all other directors, irrespective of the relevant number and duration of the Board, shall be appointed by VP.

6.	OTHER OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES PENDING THE RIGHT FOR THE EXERCISE OF THE OPTIONS

6.1

Pledge over the Option Shares

The Parties acknowledge that, under the SPA, Cap2 has undertaken the obligation to pledge the Option Shares in favor of VP as security for its obligations under the SPA, through execution and implementation of the Pledge Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 6.1. The Parties agree that, should Cap2 breach its obligation to pledge the Shares under the Pledge Agreement as provided thereunder and within the term therein indicated (“Pledge Due Date”), Cap2 shall lose all its rights to exercise any Put Option hereunder and VP shall be entitled (but not obliged) to exercise the Call Option within 20 (twenty) Business Days from the Pledge Due Date, for a Purchase Price equal to the Purchase Price Under the SPA and shall deposit the amount so payable into an escrow account with the same Escrow Agent and at the same terms as those of the Escrow Agreement with Alcedo under the SPA (except that costs shall be for Cap2), provided that Cap2 shall cause the Escrow Agent to accept such escrow at such same terms (except for the provision relating to interest rates and costs)(otherwise being the Buyer entitled to hold off the payment of the such Purchase Price as security for the indemnification obligations under the SPA, for 18 months from the date hereof).

It is hereby understood and agreed that the indemnification rights of VP under the SPA and its security rights provided under the Pledge Agreement shall in no manner be limited or restricted by this Agreement or any of its provisions.

In particular the Parties agree that, should the Option Shares still be subject to pledge under the Pledge Agreement during any Option Period, as a consequence of VP having raised a claim for indemnification under the SPA, either Party shall still have right to exercise the Option in accordance with this Agreement provided that, in such case, a portion of the Purchase Price corresponding to such indemnification claim shall be withheld by VP at Closing of the Option until such indemnification claim is finally settled as provided under the SPA and the relevant Loss (as defined in the SPA) which is subject matter of such indemnification claim becomes due under a final (judicial or arbitral) decision of last resort, in which case, then:

(i)

any amount that would so result to be due to VP, shall be kept by VP and the relevant portion of the Purchase Price corresponding to such amount shall be considered as having been paid in satisfaction thereof (as per “compensazione”); and

(i)

the remaining amount after such deduction shall be promptly paid by VP to Cap2, as the remaining portion of the Purchase Price.

7.	DURATION

All the provisions of this Agreement shall have duration according to their respective terms.

In particular, the undertakings of Cap2 under section 4.5 are to be considered as independent and autonomous obligations with respect to the Transfer of the Option Shares and as such the VP’s rights under such section 4.5 shall not be subject to the statute of limitations and decadence set out in art. 1495 of the Code.

8.	NON-COMPETITION

Matteo Rigamonti and Cap2 hereby covenant and agree that, during the period when Matteo Rigamonti is director of the Company, and until 1 (one) year after he ceases to be director of the Company, they shall not:

(a)

directly or indirectly, engage in or carry on any business in the field of digital, offset or large format printing, in any of the countries in which the Business is carried out by the Company, or will be carried out at the date in which Matteo Rigamonti ceases his office as director;

(b)

directly or indirectly, carry out any collaboration, by virtue of an employment relationship or consulting relationship or through any other title or position including without limitations, as a director, on a full-time basis or on a part-time basis, in favour of companies operating in a business competing with the Business;

(c)

have any direct or indirect interest in any firm, partnership, joint venture, corporation or unincorporated association (whether as lender or investor owning either unlisted or untraded securities) which engages in or carries on any business competing with the Business (except for any interest held directly or indirectly in listed companies engaged in the Business not exceeding 5% of their share capital).

For sake of clarification, the Parties hereby agree that the business of 3D printing (additive manufacturing) is expressly excluded from the ones covered by the non-competition covenant pursuant to this paragraph.

Cap2 and Matteo Rigamonti acknowledge that the provisions of this section 8 are directly related to the Option over the Option Shares herein contemplated, reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of VP and the Purchase Price to be paid by VP hereunder in case of exercise of the Option. However, if any of the provisions of this section 8 shall ever be held to exceed the limitations in duration, geographical area or scope or other limitations imposed by applicable law, they shall not be nullified but the Parties shall be deemed to have agreed to such provisions as conform with the maximum permitted by applicable law, and any provision of this section 8 exceeding such limitations shall be automatically amended accordingly.

9.	MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

(A)

qualora un azionista intenda Trasferire a terzi (“Azionista Cedente”), in tutto o in parte, le proprie Partecipazioni, l’Azionista dovrà darne comunicazione, mediante lettera raccomandata con avviso di ricevimento, agli altri Azionisti, che dovrà contenere informazioni in merito all’identità del potenziale cessionario (“Potenziale Cessionario”), l’ammontare delle Partecipazioni oggetto di potenziale Trasferimento e il relativo corrispettivo, nonché ogni altro termine e condizione applicabile a tale Trasferimento concordato con il Potenziale Cessionario (“Offerta”);

(B)

ciascun azionista che voglia esercitare il proprio Diritto di Prelazione dovrà, entro 30 (trenta) giorni dalla data di ricevimento dell’Offerta (“Termine di Prelazione”), inviare una comunicazione scritta, mediante lettera raccomandata con avviso di ricevimento all’Azionista Cedente e, in copia, agli altri azionisti, al fine di manifestare la propria volontà di esercitare la prelazione per le Partecipazioni offerte alle medesime condizioni indicate nell’Offerta (“Comunicazione di Esercizio”), a condizione che il Diritto di Prelazione sia esercitato da ciascun azionista per tutte (e non meno di tutte) le Partecipazioni offerte dall’Azionista Cedente;

(C)

nel caso in cui ciascun azionista abbia esercitato il Diritto di Prelazione ai sensi del presente articolo 8.2, la vendita delle Partecipazioni per le quali sia stato esercitato il Diritto di Prelazione dovrà essere perfezionata entro e non oltre 25 (venticinque) giorni dal ricevimento della Comunicazione di Esercizio;

(D)

qualora gli altri azionisti non esercitino il Diritto di Prelazione ai sensi del presente articolo 8.2, le Partecipazioni dell’Azionista Cedente potranno essere liberamente trasferite al Potenziale Cessionario, purché tale Trasferimento avvenga entro 30 (trenta) giorni dalla scadenza del Termine di Prelazione e ai medesimi termini e condizioni indicate dall’Azionista Cedente nell’Offerta. Qualora tale Trasferimento (intendendosi per tale la stipula di un contratto di compravendita vincolante avente ad oggetto il Trasferimento delle Partecipazioni interessate) non avvenga entro 30 (trenta) giorni dal Termine di Prelazione, le Partecipazioni dell’Azionista Cedente saranno nuovamente soggette al Diritto di Prelazione;

(E)

nel caso in cui (i) il corrispettivo per il Trasferimento delle Partecipazioni oggetto del Diritto di Prelazione non sia costituito integralmente da denaro (ivi incluso – a mero titolo esemplificativo e non tassativo – nel caso di permute, conferimento in natura, fusione, scissione, trasferimento, conferimento o affitto di azienda o ramo di azienda) ovvero (ii) tale Trasferimento avvenga gratuitamente o senza alcun corrispettivo, ovvero (iii) tale Trasferimento consegua alla fusione o scissione (anche parziale) in altra società dell’Azionista Cedente (ove tale azionista sia una persona giuridica), ovvero all’intervenuto scioglimento di quest’ultimo, mediante cessione o assegnazione dei beni dello stesso socio ad altro soggetto, l’Azionista Cedente dovrà indicare nell’Offerta l’equivalente valore in denaro del corrispettivo attribuibile alle Partecipazioni Trasferende ovvero, nel caso sub (iii) della lettera (E) del presente art. 8.2, il valore in denaro delle Partecipazioni Trasferende per le quali il Diritto di Prelazione potrà essere esercitato. In mancanza dell’indicazione di tale valore, l’Offerta sarà considerata priva di effetti e come non effettuata.

Ove un azionista non sia d’accordo sul valore in denaro indicato dall’Azionista Cedente nei casi sub (i), (ii) e (iii) della lettera (E) del presente art. 8.2, tale azionista dovrà comunicare il suo disaccordo a pena di decadenza – entro e non oltre 30 (trenta) giorni dalla data di ricezione dell’Offerta – mediante lettera raccomandata con avviso di ricevimento (“Comunicazione di Disaccordo”) all’Azionista Cedente e, in copia, agli altri azionisti. In difetto di accordo tra le parti su tale valore entro i 10 (dieci) giorni successivi alla ricezione della Comunicazione di Disaccordo, il valore in denaro sarà determinato in modo definitivo e vincolante da un esperto (“Esperto”) ai sensi dell’art. 1349, primo comma, Cod. Civ.. L’Esperto dovrà comunicare per iscritto a tutti i soci la sua determinazione entro 30 (trenta) giorni dal ricevimento dell’incarico a mezzo di raccomandata con avviso di ricevimento.

(F)

Ove si applichi la suddetta procedura, il Termine di Prelazione resterà sospeso dal momento di invio della Comunicazione di Disaccordo fino al momento della notifica da parte dell’Esperto della propria determinazione. I costi e le spese dell’Esperto saranno suddivisi in maniera paritetica tra l’azionista dissenziente e l’Azionista Cedente. L’Esperto procederà a
