		The Purchaser has performed the Due Diligence with regard to the Company, the Business and the Shares and the Purchaser and its advisers have been provided with access to the Data Room.

Any matter set forth in any section of the Disclosure Letter shall be deemed set forth in all other sections of the Disclosure Letter to the extent that the specific relevance or applicability of such matter to such other sections of the Disclosure Letter or the corresponding Sellers’ Warranties is reasonably apparent on the face of such specific disclosure, whether or not a specific cross-reference appears. The inclusion of any information (including Dollar amounts) in any section of the Disclosure Letter shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgement that such information is required to be listed in such section or is material to or outside the ordinary course of the business of the Company, nor shall such information be deemed to establish a standard of materiality (and the actual standard of materiality may be higher or lower than the matters disclosed by such information). The information explicitly, specifically and unambiguously contained in this Agreement, the Disclosure Letter and the Exhibits is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein shall be deemed to be an admission by any Party to any Third Party of any matter whatsoever (including any violation of Applicable Law or breach of contract). To the extent that one of the Sellers’ Warranties addresses a particular issue with specificity (a “Specific Seller Warranty”), and no breach by the Seller exists under such Specific Seller Warranty, the Seller shall not be deemed to be in breach of any of the other Sellers’ Warranties (with respect to such issue) that address such issue with less specificity than the Specific Seller Warranty and if such Specific Seller Warranty is qualified or limited by the Best Knowledge of the Sellers, or in any other manner, none of the other Sellers’ Warranties shall supersede or limit such qualification in any manner.
4.4		No Knowledge of a Breach of Sellers’ Warranties

		be an admission by any Party to any Third Party of any matter whatsoever (including any violation of Applicable Law or breach of contract). To the extent that one of the Guarantor’s Warranties addresses a particular issue with specificity (a “Specific Guarantor Warranty”), and no breach by the Guarantor exists under such Specific Guarantor Warranty, the Guarantor shall not be deemed to be in breach of any of the other Guarantor’s Warranties (with respect to such issue) that address such issue with less specificity than the Specific Guarantor Warranty and if such Specific Guarantor Warranty is qualified or limited by the Best Knowledge of the Guarantor, or in any other manner, none of the other Guarantor’s Warranties shall supersede or limit such qualification in any manner.
4.9		No Knowledge of a breach of Guarantor’s Warranties

5.		COMPENSATION
5.1		In the event of a breach of any of the Sellers’ Warranties or any of the other obligations of the Sellers under this Agreement, the Purchaser has the right to submit to the Sellers, on a several basis (and not on a joint and several basis), a Claim for Compensation. In that event, the Sellers shall be liable and pay to the Purchaser or, at the option of the Purchaser, to the Company, each Seller’s pro rata portion of the aggregate amount

Signature copy

		necessary to put the Purchaser and the Company in the financial position they would have been in if the facts or circumstances giving rise to such breach had not occurred or arisen (any such amount payable to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 5.1 to be referred to as the “Compensation”). Such Compensation shall in particular not include any internal administration and/or costs, overhead costs, consequential damages (gevolgschade), punitive damages, special damages, loss of revenues, loss of opportunities, or loss of profits (gederfde winst). Notwithstanding Article 6, a Seller shall be liable only for such percentage as is equal to the percentage of the Purchase Price it has received.
5.2		In the event of a breach of any of the Guarantor’s Warranties or any of the other obligations of the Purchaser or the Guarantor under this Agreement, the Sellers have the right to jointly submit to the Guarantor a Claim for Compensation. In that event, the Guarantor shall be liable and pay to each of the Sellers the aggregate amount necessary to put the Sellers in the financial position they would have been in if the facts or circumstances giving rise to such breach had not occurred or arisen (any such amount payable to the Sellers pursuant to this Section 5.2 to be referred to as the “Compensation”). Such Compensation shall in particular not include any internal administration and/or costs, overhead costs, consequential damages (gevolgschade), punitive damages, special damages, loss of revenues, loss of opportunities, or loss of profits (gederfde winst). Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, for the avoidance of doubt, a decrease in value of the Stock Portion shall be a relevant damage in the context of this clause and is therefore not considered consequential damage or other exempted costs or damages in the context of this clause, provided that the Holdback Shares shall only be taken into account in the context of this clause if at the end of the 2 year period after the Closing Date there are no outstanding Claims against the Sellers.
5.3		All amounts paid, or caused to be paid, by one Party to another Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.
5.4		Notification of Claim
		Where a Party considers making a Claim for Compensation, it shall, within a reasonable period, but in any event within fifteen (15) days after discovery of the circumstances giving rise to such Claim (provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not affect the right to make a Claim except to the extent the other Party is actually prejudiced thereby), notify the other Parties in writing giving reasonable particulars of the facts relating to such Claim and its best estimate of the likely amount of the Claim (the “Notice of Claim”), Such a notification given within such period shall be considered a notification within the meaning of article 7:23(1) of the Dutch Civil Code. If a Party receiving a Notice of Claim shall object to the Compensation of a Claim specified in such notice, such Party

Signature copy

		shall, within 30 days after receipt of such notice, deliver to the notifying Party a notice to such effect, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such objection, and the Parties shall, within the 30-day period beginning on the date of receipt of the notifying Party of such objection, attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective Parties with respect to each of such Claims to which the other Party shall have so objected. If the Parties shall succeed in reaching agreement on their respective rights with respect to any of such Claims, the Parties shall promptly prepare and sign a memorandum setting forth such agreement. Should the Parties be unable to agree as to any particular item or items or amount or amounts within such time period, then the Parties shall submit such dispute in accordance with Article 14.2. Claims for Compensation specified in any Notice of Claim to which no objections are raised or are raised but are resolved by the Parties in accordance with this Article 5.4, or Claims for Compensation which are resolved in accordance with Article 14.2 shall be paid within 10 Business Days of the determination of the amount of such Claim by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the bank account or accounts designated by the Party seeking Compensation in a notice to the other Party not less than 2 Business Days prior to such payment.
5.5		Procedure for Third Party Claims
		Where a Claim of a Party for Compensation is based upon or relates to a Third Party Claim, the Party shall notify the other Parties of such Third Party Claim as soon as possible after becoming aware thereof (provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not affect the right to make a Claim except to the extent the other Party is actually prejudiced thereby). As soon as possible following the date of that notification the Parties shall consult each other on the course of action to be taken. The Purchaser shall, however, at its sole discretion, be entitled to take, or procure the Company to take, any action necessary to defend the Third Party Claim, and to avoid, dispute, deny, defend, resist, appeal, compromise, contest or settle the claim in any manner that the Purchaser deems appropriate, provided that no compromise or settlement of any Third Party Claim for which the Purchaser is seeking Compensation hereunder shall be made without written consent of the Sellers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim, with such cooperation to include (i) the retention and the provision of the Company’s records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim and (ii) the making available of Employees of the Company for providing additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.
5.6		Sole Remedy/Waiver
		The Parties acknowledge and agree that the remedies provided for in this Article 5 (as limited by Article 6) shall be the Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of the representations and warranties or covenants contained in the Agreement.
