SPECIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Costs

Article 1

1.	The transfer tax (if payable) calculated on the value of the property sold, which is the calculation base, increased or reduced as stipulated in the Netherlands Act concerning the Taxation of Legal Transactions (Wet op belastingen van rechtsverkeer), shall be payable by Purchaser.

The notarial costs with regard to this agreement and the costs on account of transfer of title and transfer of the property sold, as well as the turnover tax due on such costs, shall be payable by Purchaser.

In case the transfer tax is payable by Xxxxxxxxx and for the calculation of such tax, reduction of the calculation basis can be claimed as Vendor or his legal predecessor(s) has/have acquired the property sold respectively have/has delivered it in a fictive sense within the meaning of the Dutch 1968 Turnover Tax Act (Wet op de omzetbelasting 1968), taxed with transfer tax or with non-deductible turnover tax, and this within six months before the signing of the deed of transfer of title, then Purchaser shall pay out to Vendor the difference between the amount that would be payable in transfer tax without the deduction referred to hereinbefore and the amount in transfer tax actually payable.

3.	Vendor guarantees, as regards the property sold, to act as entrepreneur within the meaning of the Dutch 1968 Turnover Tax Act and:

guarantees that the transfer of title takes place two years from the point in time of its first occupation;

whereas Vendor and Purchaser jointly will submit a request to have the transfer of title qualified as one upon which turnover tax is imposed so that Purchaser will be due turnover tax on account of the transfer of title of the property sold.

whereas Vendor and Purchaser jointly, as regards the remainder of the property sold, will not submit a request to have the transfer of title qualified as one upon which turnover tax is imposed so that no turnover tax is due on account of the transfer of title of the property sold.

4.	The purchase price shall be increased by the turnover referred to in the previous paragraph;

as the reverse charge procedure is applicable, turnover will be paid directly by Purchaser to the tax authorities by self assessment.

5.	Vendor guarantees dat the property sold has been or is being or shall be used by him as business equipment before the transfer of title.

6.	Purchaser guarantees that he will use the property sold, for:

90% or more,

70% or more, a percentage that will replace the percentage mentioned sub a and this on the basis of the list of designated lines of business and sectors belonging to Communication 42 of the Ministry of Finance, for activities in connection with which there is a right of deduction of turnover tax and that he will occupy the property sold before the end of the financial year, following the financial year of transfer of title.

Purchaser guarantees that, with regard to this request of opting for taxed transfer of title, he will issue a statement signed by him that shows that the 90% norm (or 70%-norm) referred to will be satisfied.

Moreover, Purchaser guarantees that within four weeks from the expiry of the financial year of Purchaser, following the financial year of transfer of title or after transfer of title by Purchaser before the expiry of the financial year first-mentioned, he shall inform Vendor by means of a statement signed by him whether since the occupation the norm referred to has been satisfied. Purchaser shall send a copy of this statement to the Tax Inspector of the district Purchaser belongs to and this within the same term of four weeks. Vendor and Purchaser guarantee reciprocally that they will submit the request opting for taxed transfer of title correctly made out and well in time before the transfer of title, in connection with which Purchaser hereby authorises Vendor irrevocably to submit the request opting for taxed transfer of title also on his behalf.

Purchaser is familiar with the fact that the request to qualify the transfer of title of the property sold as a transfer of title taxed with turnover tax, is only possible if he satisfies the 90% norm (or 70% norm) referred to in the financial year, used by him, in which the transfer of title of the property sold takes place and in the following financial year and that an additional turnover tax assessment shall (may) be imposed by the Tax Authorities if it turns out that he has not satisfied the norm mentioned hereinbefore. The additional turnover tax assessment concerns the revision turnover tax of Vendor as well as any other input tax deducted by Vendor with regard to the sale and transfer of title of the property sold to Purchaser.

In connection with the preceding Vendor guarantees:

that the revision term of Article 15 paragraph 4 of the Dutch 1968 Turnover Tax Act commenced at the starting date of the third quarter of 2001 at the latest;

7.	Vendor guarantees on account of the transfer of title of any chattels mentioned in Article 10:

not to be due any turnover tax.

Whenever “transfer of title” is mentioned in the paragraphs 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of this Article, this only means the transfer of title within the meaning of the Dutch 1968 Turnover Tax Act, or one single action to be qualified as lease with a limited right within the meaning of Article 3, paragraph 2 juncto Article 11, paragraph 1, part b, fifth final sentence, of such Act.

In case on the side of Purchaser the requirements with regard to a transfer of title or lease taxable by turnover tax are not satisfied (and the cause of not-satisfying is in a circumstance that is attributable to the Vendor pursuant to the current agreement) whereas the parties did opt for such, then Purchaser must compensate Vendor integrally and at demand for the loss arising from this for Vendor. Loss in this sense does not only mean the turnover tax to be paid by Vendor to the Tax Authorities or the smaller amount in turnover tax to be received back from the Tax Authorities but also fines and interest on underpaid tax in connection therewith.

In case Purchaser does not give consent to conclude a new lease agreement or to amend an existing lease agreement, then he shall be obliged to compensate Vendor for any loss of rent arising there from.

In case Purchaser does not give his consent for concluding a new lease agreement, the risk that squatters will occupy the building is for Purchaser, as well as the consequence that the Dutch Housing Act and the regulations arising there from attach to disuse of the building.

4.	In case the size or surface area of the property sold or its further description or the statements made in Articles 4 and 5 of the special terms and conditions, all these given by Vendor, are not correct or not complete neither party will derive any right there from.

All this however, with the exception that in case and in so far as the statement in question is guaranteed by the other party as appears from this contract, has not been made in good faith, or that it concerns a not-registered fact which should have been entered in the public registers however until now has not been registered.

5.	The property sold will be transferred together with any and all rights and powers connected therewith, free from any and all special charges and limitations with the exception of these that have been explicitly accepted by Purchaser pursuant the special stipulations.

The actual transfer of the property sold as well as of any chattels shall take place at the signing of the deed of transfer of title, in the actual state in which the property sold and/or the chattels are at that point in time, on the understanding that such state, other than because of the Purchaser’s doing, may not be inferior to the state in which the property sold and any chattels are now, except for normal wear and tear.

Until the actual transfer, Vendor must take care of the property sold and any chattels as a careful debtor.

2.	The risk of the property sold and any chattels shall pass over at the signing of the deed of transfer of title.

3.	In case Vendor can only partly fulfil his obligations other than because of minor damage to the building, then Vendor shall be obliged to inform Purchaser forthwith thereof by registered letter; he must also send a copy of the letter in question to the civil law notary.

This agreement shall then be dissolved by operation of law unless within four weeks after Purchaser has been informed of the damage, but in any case before the time of transfer of title, the latter shall nevertheless require performance of the purchase agreement.

Should this be the case then the purchase shall remain in force, however, the Purchaser may deduct the amount of such damage from the purchase price.

4.	In case Purchaser wishes to fulfil the agreement, the following shall also apply:

Vendor is obliged to compensate such damage to Purchaser in so far as this exceeds the purchase price.

The stipulations included in the previous sentence shall not be applicable in case of damage of which it is not customary to insure against such damage with Dutch non-life insurers.

In case Vendor is paid out pursuant to an insurance agreement, then the parties shall consider the damage to be equal to the amount of the insurance payment unless Purchaser shows that the damage exceeds the insurance payment.

All that Vendor pursuant to the provisions under a, must compensate because of damage exceeding the purchase price he need not pay to Purchaser until after having received the insurance payment or forthwith after the determination as referred to hereinafter.

In case the property sold has suffered damage because of an accident against which Vendor has not taken out an adequate insurance agreement, damage will be determined by parties in consultation.

In case the parties cannot reach agreement with regard to this, then the damage will be assessed by an expert to be appointed at the request of either party by the court in the district of which the property sold is situated.

In case Purchaser wishes to demonstrate the damage surpasses the insurance payment or in the event that the case under d presents itself or the damage to the property sold has been brought about at such point in time that demonstrating what has been referred to under b by Purchaser or the assessment of the damage referred to under d before the date agreed between the parties for signing the deed of transfer of title is not possible, the agreement shall be executed on the date agreed by the parties on the understanding that a part of the purchase price to be determined by the civil law notary shall remain in the possession of the latter until the amount of the damage shall have been determined in a manner that binds both parties.

If so desired, Vendor must provide sufficient security all this to the discretion of the civil law notary.

Parties will grant a power of attorney to the civil law notary to pay back the withheld amount up to the amount of the damage to Purchaser and to pay out the remainder to Vendor as soon as the damage has been assessed.

Vendor is obliged to insure for his account the premises belonging to the property sold with a reliable insurance company against the terms and conditions customary with Dutch non-life insurers for rebuilding value and to keep such insured until the signing of the deed of transfer of title, failing which Purchaser shall be authorized to take out the insurance referred to for the account of Vendor and in his name, or to extend the existing insurance and/or to increase until rebuilding value.

Purchaser shall have the right to require of Vendor to be given the opportunity to inspect the policy in question and premium receipts and to ask the insurance company for information.

Taking over of obligations

Article III

In case Vendor has obligations of a personal nature that in his turn, he must stipulate to be binding upon Purchaser and upon possible legal successors (perpetual clauses), Purchaser will then be held – on condition that he has accepted such explicitly as becomes apparent from Article 6 of the special terms and conditions – to take on such obligations, to observe them and also to stipulate such to be binding upon his legal successors under special title, all this as described in more detail in the deed of transfer of title.

2.	Purchaser is not obliged to take over insurance agreements concluded by Vendor.

Facilities prescribed pursuant to the Dutch Housing Act after Purchaser and Vendor have signed this contract of sale and not announced before, shall be payable by Purchaser. In case the facilities must be effected before the signing of the deed of transfer of title then Vendor will consult with Xxxxxxxxx as regards their execution.

Payment and settlement

Article IV

1.	Revenues and charges of the property sold will be for the account of Purchaser as of the day of the signing of the deed of transfer of title.

Xxxxx having fallen due on the day of the signing of the deed of transfer of title must be collected by Xxxxxx and for his risk.

The municipal immovable property tax on account of actual use shall not be settled.

Vendor shall be held to fully pay the charges on the periods running at the time of the signing of the deed of transfer of title, notwithstanding the settlement between parties.

2.	In case lessees have paid guarantee sums, these will be settled between Vendor and Purchaser with any possible accrued interest at the signing of the deed of transfer of title.

In case for the benefit of lessees bank guarantees have been provided vis-à-vis Vendor, the documents concerned shall be handed over by Vendor to Purchaser at the signing of the deed of transfer of title; Vendor shall exert himself to have such guarantees made out in favour of Purchase.

The payment of the purchase price and any possible turnover tax and the settlement of the revenues, charges, turnover tax that may be imposed on such revenues and charges and guarantee sums to be stated by Vendor in time before the signing of the deed of transfer of title, must be effected – in accordance with such statement – through the civil law notary.

Purchaser shall be obliged to pay all the money due at the signing of the deed of transfer of title by crediting the quality account and this at the day of the signing of the deed of transfer of title at the latest at the rate of exchange applicable on that day.

Vendor stipulates for any creditors that - in connection with the correct handling of the purchase and transfer of title of the property sold – must be paid out of the purchase price, the guarantee that their claims will be settled by the civil law notary directly out of the purchase price and for this shall be transferred from the quality account to their bank or giro account so that the civil law notary shall only owe to the Vendor himself the then remaining sum. Vendor and creditors referred to hereinbefore shall accept the determination of the civil law notary which of the creditors, to be stated by the Vendor in time, answer the standard mentioned hereinbefore and to what amounts. The guarantee does not also cover the remaining part of the purchase price belonging to Vendor.

Vendor, for the amount he is entitled to and the creditors, each for the part they are entitled to, shall only have a right to be paid out vis-à-vis the civil law notary as soon as it has become apparent to the latter from written investigation of the public registers that the transfer has been carried out in conformity with the stipulations included in Article I paragraph 1.

Vendor and creditors mentioned hereinbefore are familiar with the fact that – in connection with this investigation – one or more office days may elapse between the day of signing of the deed of transfer of title and paying out.

5.	The party, that according to this agreement is due to pay the transfer tax, shall be obliged to deposit such at the signing of the deed of transfer of title with the civil law notary for the latter to pay the Tax Authorities.

In case, as referred to in Article 1 paragraph 2 special terms and conditions, Purchaser shall be obliged to deposit the difference referred to there with the civil law notary at the signing of the deed of transfer of title in order to be paid out to Vendor, as soon as in the opinion of the civil law notary the transfer tax actually owing is fixed.

In so far as Purchaser is jointly and severally liable for any charges due and payable before the date of signing of the deed of transfer of title as referred to in the last sentence of paragraph 1 of this Article, Vendor shall be obliged, in case Purchaser requires so, to deposit with the civil law notary an amount to guarantee the payment of such charges at the signing of the deed of transfer of title.

In case turnover tax is due, Vendor shall ensure that an invoice within the meaning of the Dutch 1968 Turnover Tax Act is handed over to the Purchaser in time. This obligation shall not be of force any longer in case the deed of transfer of title satisfy the requirements and can act as such invoice, or in case the civil law notary has issued such invoice when carrying out the settlement on behalf of Vendor with the latter’s data.

In case the reverse charge procedure as referred to in the Dutch 1968 Turnover Tax Act is applicable, the civil law notary shall mention in the deed of transfer of title and/or on the completion statements: "turnover tax transferred".

In case the purchase price must be repaid to Purchaser, Purchaser stipulates in favour of those that have transferred directly (a part of) the purchase price to the quality account, the guarantee that these sums of money will be repaid by the civil law notary by transferring them to the account from which they have been debited so that the civil law notary shall only be due to Purchaser the amounts that he himself has transferred. The guarantee shall not also cover amounts transferred by Purchaser himself.

Security

Article V

In case it has been agreed that Purchaser as an additional security with regard to the fulfilment of his obligations grants a security deposit, this must be paid by payment into the quality account. The civil law notary shall compensate the interest that he receives from the bank on this security deposit.

The civil law notary confirms in writing to Vendor or his estate agent that the guarantee deposit or the bank guarantee has been received.

2.	The security deposit provided by Purchaser shall be forfeited as a fine by operation of law in case Purchaser, after having been declared in default as described in Article VI, fails in the observance of his obligations during the period of time mentioned therein.

In case Vendor requires the agreement to be fulfilled, the stipulations hereinbefore shall (always) only be applicable to that part of the security deposit that Purchaser owes as daily fine referred to under Article VI paragraph 2 under a.

The civil law notary shall pay out the security deposit to Vendor after the signing of the deed of transfer of title in the manner as mentioned hereinbefore in Article IV paragraph 4, or in case Purchaser – after having been declared in default in the manner as described in Article VI – fails in the observance of his obligations during the period of time mentioned there, possibly in proportion to the daily fine forfeited by Purchaser.

In the first place, the security deposit, in so far as not paid out sooner to Vendor, will be deducted from such part of the purchase price and such part of the costs and taxes payable by Purchaser on the basis of the stipulations included in this contract of sale that have not been paid by or on behalf of Purchaser out of other means.

After signing the deed of transfer of title, with analogous application of Article IV paragraph 4, second sentence, the civil law notary shall pay to Purchaser from the part of the security deposit not paid out to Vendor, as well as any possible interest on the security deposit, all this in so far as such amounts are not needed for the payment of costs and duties owing by Purchaser.

The civil law notary shall pay back the security deposit to Purchaser, in case Vendor – after having been declared in default in the manner as described in Article VI – during the period of time mentioned there fails to observe his obligations as well as in case the agreement has been dissolved other than by attributable shortcoming (default) of Purchaser.

In case both parties are in default as regards the observance of their obligations or in case the civil law notary cannot determine which of the two parties is in default, then the civil law notary – barring identical payment order of both parties – shall keep the security deposit in his custody until in a judgment that has become (provisionally) enforceable it has been decided to whom he must pay the security deposit.

A provided bank guarantee must be extended during such period of time failing which the civil law notary shall be obliged to collect the bank guarantee.

6.	In case it is agreed that Purchaser will provide a bank guarantee, this bank guarantee must:

be unconditional and be valid until at least one month after the agreed transfer of title date;

be issued to the civil law notary by a credit institution that has a license within the meaning of the Dutch 1992 Credit System (Supervision) Act (Wet toezicht kredietwezen 1992), by an insurance company having a licence within the meaning of the Dutch 1993 Insurance Industry (Supervision) Act (Wet toezicht verzekeringsbedrijf 1993) or by a well-reputed foreign bank, all this at the discretion of the civil law notary; and

to contain the clause that at the demand of the civil law notary the amount of the guarantee must be paid out to the civil law notary.

In case the amount of the guarantee is paid out to the civil law notary, the latter shall act as set forth hereinbefore.

7.	Parties shall grant the civil law notary a power of attorney to deduct from the security deposit or the payment made pursuant to the bank guarantee, increased by the accrued interest, any costs incurred by him.

It is for the application of this article solely at the civil law notary’s discretion whether the agreement has been fulfilled, whether one of the parties or both parties is/are in default or finally whether he, civil law notary himself, cannot decide which of the two parties is in default, all this on the understanding that during one month after the civil law notary has issued a statement as to the above in writing parties have the right to address the competent court for the dispute to be decided upon.

Shortcoming (breach of contract)

Article VI

In case of non-observance, or not within the required time, the agreement other than by non-attributable shortcoming (force majeure) the party in default shall be liable for any and all damage or loss resulting there from with costs and interest, irrespective of the fact whether the fact or the party in default breaches the contract within the meaning of the following paragraph.

In case one of the parties, after having been declared to be in default by bailiff’s writ, remains in default during eight days as regards the observance of one or more of his obligations - including not paying the security deposit within the required time or not providing a correct bank guarantee in time – then this party shall be in default and the other party shall have the subsidiary (or not subsidiary) choice between:

requiring performance of the agreement, in which case the party in default at the termination of the aforementioned term of eight days for any commencing day as from then until the day of performance shall owe a forthwith exigible fine of three pro mille of the purchase price; or

declaring the agreement dissolved by a written certificate and to require payment of a forthwith exigible fine of ten per cent of the purchase price.

3.	Paid and payable fine shall be deducted from any possible compensation of damages with interest and costs incurred.

4.	Any turnover possible due on the fine is included.

The manner of declaring someone in default described in paragraph 2 of this Article as well as the there described fine regulation shall not apply any more after it has become apparent to the civil law notary from written investigation of the public registers that the transfer has taken place in accordance with the provisions included in Article I paragraph 1 and after Vendor, for all that he and possibly any creditors referred to in Article IV paragraph 4 are entitled to, each for the part they are entitled to, have been paid by the civil law notary.

Resolutory conditions

Article VII

Any resolutory conditions possibly agreed between Vendor and Purchaser will cease to have effect after the signing of the deed of transfer of title.

Costs at dissolution

In case of dissolution of this agreement on the basis of a shortcoming of one of the parties, the costs referred to hereinbefore shall be payable by such party.
