(iv) determine the ratio for the share consolidation as contemplated by Resolution 2(d) so that either

Section 4.10 Notice of Certain Events.

(a) If, at any time prior to the Initial Closing or the Additional Closing, the Company determines that, as a result of an event, occurrence or change in circumstances beyond the Company’s control (including any change as a result of claims made or investigations instigated and any change in the relationship of the Company with any of its customers or suppliers, including a modification of the relationship of the Company by one or more of the Company’s customers or suppliers resulting from the announcement of the Transactions, provided that to the Knowledge of the Company at the date of this Agreement, the Company does not reasonably expect such a change or any modification of the relationship by any particular customer or supplier or particular group of customers or suppliers) that occurs after the date of this Agreement, the Company will be unable to provide the certificate required under Section 5.1(f) or Section 6.1(f), respectively, because one or more representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Schedule I, other than any Fundamental Representation,

will not be true and correct as of the Initial Closing Date or Additional Closing Date, as applicable, the Company will promptly (and in any event, not later than 9:00 p.m. Central Europe Time on the date immediately preceding the date on which the applicable Closing would otherwise occur pursuant to Section 1.2), provide to Investor written notice (each such notice, a “Closing Notice”) specifying the representation and warranty in Schedule I that will not be true and correct at the applicable Closing and, to the extent not described in the Company SEC Documents or AFM Documents filed after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Notice, describing in reasonable detail the event, occurrence or change in circumstances that renders such representation and warranty untrue or incorrect. The Company shall provide to Investor as soon as practicable and to the maximum extent such disclosure is not prohibited by Applicable Law such additional information and documents as Investor may reasonably request for the purpose of evaluating such circumstance, event or occurrence and determining whether to proceed with the applicable Closing.

(b) If and to the extent that (i) the Company provides a Closing Notice in accordance with Section 4.10(a), (ii) the representation and warranty specified in the Closing Notice is not a Fundamental Representation and was true and correct when given at the date of this Agreement, (iii) the event, occurrence or change in circumstances described in the Closing Notice occurred after the date of this Agreement and did not result wholly or in part from any breach by the Company of any of its covenants under this Agreement, then Investor may either: (A) waive the condition precedent in Section 5.1(b) and (f) or Section 6.1(b) and (f), as applicable, with respect to the failure of the applicable representations and warranties to be true and correct on the applicable Closing Date as a result of the event, occurrence or change in circumstances described in the Closing Notice and proceed with the applicable Closing; or (B) terminate this Agreement under Section 8.1(c) or Section 8.2(c). In no event will Investor (or any other Indemnitees) be entitled to indemnification (and Investor agrees that the Company shall have no liability) for any failure of such representation and warranty to be true and accurate as of the applicable Closing to the extent such failure results from such event, occurrence or change of circumstances after the date of this Agreement as specified in the Closing Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, regardless of whether Investor elects to proceed with the Closing or terminate this Agreement, nothing herein shall affect the Investor’s rights, including its right to indemnification, resulting from (1) any failure of any Fundamental Representation to be true and correct at any time, (2) any failure of the representations or warranties to be true and correct at either the date of this Agreement or, if the Closing Notice is provided after the Initial Closing and prior to the Additional Closing, on the Initial Closing Date, (3) any failure of any other representations or warranties brought down to the applicable Closing Date under the certificate required to be delivered under Section 5.1(f) or Section 6.1(f) to be true and correct; or (4) any breach by the Company of any of its covenants or agreements under this Agreement.

Section 4.11 Further Actions. If, at any time after the Closing Date, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, to vest the Stichting with full right and title of the Shares and to vest Investor with full right and title to the Depositary Receipts in respect of such Shares, each Party authorizes the officers and directors of each of Investor and the Company, in the name of their respective corporation or otherwise, to take all such lawful and necessary action to the extent consistent with the terms of this Agreement and without any further authorization or consent of the Parties to this Agreement being required.

Section 7.2 Indemnification.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article VII, and subject to Section 4.10(b), the Company will indemnify and hold harmless Investor and each of its Affiliates and Representatives (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from any and all Losses that any Indemnitee may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (i) any failure of the representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement to be true and correct, (ii) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement, (iii) any failure of any certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(f) or Section 6.1(f) of this Agreement to be true and correct or (iv) any Legal Proceeding, claim or allegation (including by any shareholder or shareholders of the Company) alleging any facts which, if proven to be true, would constitute a failure of any Fundamental Representation to be true and correct or any breach of any Fundamental Representation.

(b) If Investor becomes aware of a third-party Legal Proceeding against any Indemnitee that Investor believes, in good faith, may result in an Indemnification Claim, Investor will promptly notify the Company of such Legal Proceeding, provided that any failure to provide such notice shall not relieve the Company from its obligations under this Article VII except to the extent that the Company is materially prejudiced thereby. Investor will conduct the defense of such Legal Proceeding and will, to the extent reasonably requested by the Company from time to time, give updates as to the status of such Legal Proceeding, and the Company will be entitled to participate in any such defense at its sole cost and expense and will provide reasonable assistance to the Indemnitee in the defense of the Legal Proceeding. Investor may agree to any settlement or compromise of any such Legal Proceeding in its sole discretion, so long as such settlement or compromise (i) does not obligate the Company to take or refrain from taking any action and (ii) provides for a complete release of the Company by such third party. In all other events, Investor will seek the consent of the Company in connection with Investor’s agreement to any settlement or compromise of any such Legal Proceeding, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by the Company.

Section 7.3 Limitations.

The Company’s liability for any Indemnification

Claim based on the Fundamental Representations (including any indemnity under Section 7.2(a)(iii)), fraud or intentional misrepresentation or any breach of the Company’s covenants or agreements in this Agreement is not limited.

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein or in the case of fraud or willful misconduct, Investor acknowledges and agrees that, in the event that the Initial Closing and/or the Additional Closing occurs, the remedies provided for in this Article VII shall be Investor’s sole and exclusive remedies for monetary damages for any failure of the representations and warranties to be true and correct or any breach of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.

Section 7.4 No Effect.

(a) Except as provided in Section 4.10(b), an Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this Article VII based on any failure of the representations and warranties to be true and correct or any breach of any representation or warranty, including any Fundamental Representation, will not be diminished or otherwise affected in any way as a result of such Indemnitee’s knowledge of such breach or such failure to be true and correct, regardless of whether such knowledge exists as a result of the Indemnitee’s investigation or as a result of disclosure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(b) Except as provided in Section 4.10(b)(A), the waiver of any condition to a Closing based upon the truth and correctness of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement, will not affect the right to indemnification or other remedy based on such representations and warranties (including Fundamental Representations), covenants and agreements.

Section 9.2 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person, other than the Parties and their successors and assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 9.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof, and supersede any and all prior understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between or among the Parties with respect to the specific subject matter hereof; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to terminate or supersede the provisions of any confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements executed by the Company and Investor prior to or on the date hereof, which agreements will continue in full force and effect until terminated in accordance with their respective terms. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties agree that any “standstill” agreement (other than as provided in the Shareholder Agreement) between the Parties will terminate upon the Initial Closing Date if not previously terminated or expired by its terms.

Section 9.4 Assignment; Successors. This Agreement may not be assigned by operation of Law or otherwise; provided, however, that Investor may assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Investor (an “Investor Designee”), and references to Investor herein shall refer to such Investor Designee, but no such assignment will relieve Investor of its obligations hereunder if such assignee does not perform such obligations. Any purported assignment of this Agreement in contravention of this Section 9.4 will be null and void and of no force or effect. Subject to the preceding sentences of this Section 9.4, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 9.5 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible, in a mutually acceptable manner, in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 9.6 Amendments and Modifications. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented in any manner, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, except by an instrument in writing specifically designated as an amendment hereto, signed by a duly authorized officer of each of the Parties.

Section 9.7 Interpretation; References.Capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in Annex A to this Agreement.

All references in this Agreement to Sections, Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules are references to Sections, Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules, respectively, in and to this Agreement, unless otherwise specified.

All Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules annexed hereto or referred to herein are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth herein.

Section 9.8 No Presumption Against Drafting Party. The Parties agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation, drafting and execution of this Agreement. Therefore, the Parties hereby waive the application of any Law or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or document, and if any issue arises at any time as to the meaning, intent or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement, no presumption or burden of proof will arise in favor of or against any Party solely as a result of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

Section 9.11 Specific Performance.

Section 9.13 Waivers.

(a) No failure or delay of a Party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. Any waiver on the part of any Party will be valid only if set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered by such Party.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Party shall, in any event, be liable to any other Party for any punitive damages of such other Party other than those sought or recovered by a third party from such other Party.

Section 9.15 Dispute Resolution; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial Waiver.

(a) Any disputes, claims, controversies or other Legal Proceedings arising out of, in connection with or relating to this Agreement, including any question regarding its formation, existence, validity, enforceability, performance, interpretation or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought in any state or federal court sitting in the State of New York, County of New York, including the federal district court for the Southern District of New York.

Each of the Parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any Legal Proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto. Any Party may make service on another Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 9.1. Nothing in this Section 9.15, however, shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal
