(c) the resolution under (a) above and the Deed of Contribution shall be filed for registration with the competent Register of Enterprises.

Prior to the occurrence of the Contribution, VRV shall (and the Shareholder shall cause VRV to) fully complete the manufacturing of the Iranian Products and move them out of the facilities of VRV and the VRV Group to a third party, and shall provide adequate evidence thereof reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser.

For the avoidance of doubt, and for Indian tax law purposes only, it is acknowledged by the parties hereto that, in connection with the Contribution and the determination of the Capital Increase, the fair market value of each single share of VRV India is equal to is INR 11.81 and thus the total consideration for the transfer of the interest in VRV India is equal to INR 535,704,977.66.

4.2. Identification of the VRV Business

The business to be contributed by VRV to NewCo shall be comprised of VRV’s and the VRV Group’s entire business as a going concern for the carrying out of the Relevant Business but excluding the Iran Business (the “VRV Business”).

The VRV Business shall include, inter alia, all assets (including fixed assets), Liabilities, rights, contractual arrangements and other items, as reflected in the Reference Financial Statements (subject to modifications due to the management of the operations since June 30, 2018 until the effective date of the Contribution, , and not including the Iran Business), including but not limited to the following items:

(a) all of VRV’s machinery, other fixed assets and equipment;

(b) all of VRV’s inventory;

(c) all of VRV’s IP Rights;

(d) all of VRV’s participations in the Subsidiaries;

- 10 -

(e) any Liability towards, or otherwise relating to, the Employees of VRV (including social security Liabilities) existing at the time of the Contribution and the relevant agreements;

(f) the banking relationships of VRV indicated in Exhibit 12.14;

(g) all cash and cash equivalents of VRV;

(h) all the insurance policies of VRV and any and all pending claims thereunder;

(i) all the lease agreements of VRV;

(j) any agreements, contracts, business or commercial relationships or other arrangement of VRV (other than those of the Iran Business);

(k) all Permits and Governmental Authorizations;

(l) all books and records of VRV (other than those exclusively pertaining to the Iran Business);

(m) all customer deposits and security deposits made to or by VRV;

(n) all the accounts receivable of VRV (other than those of the Iran Business);

(o) all rights and claims (including indemnification rights and claims) and other actions or potential actions of VRV against third parties;

(p) any and all Tax Liabilities of VRV; and

(q) any other Liabilities relating to the VRV Business (other than the Iran Business).

Furthermore, the Parties acknowledge that any other asset, right, contractual arrangement, debt, liability or obligation pertaining and relating to the Relevant Business, except for the Iran Business – which, for the sake of clarity, is expressly excluded and shall not constitute a part of the VRV Business—is (and will be construed as being) included in the VRV Business and shall be transferred to NewCo.

It is agreed that any Tax due and social security Liabilities related to the VRV Business for any period until the effective date of the Contribution will be reimbursed by NewCo to VRV not later than 10 (ten) Business Days prior to the expiration of its ordinary payment term, but only to the extent such Taxes or social security Liabilities are accrued in the calculation of the Actual NWC as Tax or social security payables and provided that – not later 20 (twenty) Business Days prior to the expiration of the relevant payment term – VRV has served NewCo with written notice to the effect that such Taxes or social security Liabilities are due (and also indicating the legal grounds therefor and reasonable evidence of such amounts).

For the avoidance of doubt, the VRV Business shall not include the Iran Business. The Parties acknowledge that any other asset, right or contractual arrangement not expressly falling within the definition of Iran Business shall be included in the VRV Business and therefore contributed to Newco.

If, after the Contribution, it becomes apparent that the legal title to or any beneficial interest in any assets which are part of the VRV Business did not form part of the Contribution but ought to have done so and remain held by VRV, VRV shall – if required by Chart – do or procure to be done all further acts or things and procure the execution of all such other documents as Chart may reasonably require in order to transfer such assets to NewCo.

It is further understood that to the extent any inconsistency is identified between the Deed of Contribution and the provisions of this Article 4, the Parties hereby undertake to cooperate and to enter into (or procure the entry into) any deed of amendment or to execute any other agreement, deed, instrument, declaration or other document that may be necessary or appropriate to conform the Deed of Contribution with the provisions of this agreement or otherwise to give effect to the principles and the provisions of this agreement.

(iii) with respect to the Liabilities suffered or incurred by VRV Group or the Purchaser Group because of a breach of the Seller’s Representations and Warranties under Section 12.14 (Relationships with Banks and Financial Data), on the date that is eight (8) months following the Closing Date; and

(iv) with respect to any other Indemnifiable Liability, on the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date.

(b) Therefore, the Seller will not be obliged to indemnify or hold the Purchaser harmless from and against any Indemnifiable Liability that may have occurred or have been notified by Purchaser after the time limitations (termini finali) set out in letter (a) above.

(c) The liability of the Seller in respect of any Indemnifiable Liability shall in any event terminate if proceedings in respect of it have not been commenced within six (6) months after the giving of notice of that claim as contemplated by Section 14.9 below.

14.5. Limitation on amount

(a) Any Indemnifiable Liability that individually does not exceed euro 50,000.00 (the “De Minimis”) will not be taken into consideration and will not concur to determine the amount payable by the Seller under Section 14.1 or otherwise, it being understood that for such purposes single occurrences which are part of a series of occurrences arising out of the same set of facts will be considered one single Indemnifiable Liability.

(b) The Seller will have no liability under Section 14.1 until the overall amount of all Indemnifiable Liabilities above the De Minimis exceeds euro 700,000.00 (the “Basket”) and then only for the amount by which such Indemnifiable Liabilities exceed the Basket.

(c) The maximum liability assumed by Seller under Section 14.1 is equal to euro 17,500,000.00 (the “Cap”). Therefore, once the overall amount paid by Seller under Section 14.1 has reached the Cap (as possibly increased pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.2(d)(iv)), the Seller will have no more liability under Section 14.1.

(d) The amount of any Indemnifiable Liability shall be computed without regard to any multiple, price-earnings or equivalent ratio implicit in the negotiation and/or settlement of the Base Price as adjusted.

- 35 -

14.6. Absence of limitations

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the limitations set out in Section 14.4 or Section 14.5 will not apply (or will apply only to the extent indicated hereunder) to the Liabilities suffered or incurred by VRV Group or Purchaser Group:

(a) in case of breach of any of the Fundamental Seller’s Representations and Warranties or the Fundamental Shareholders’ Representations and Warranties, for which the maximum liability assumed by the Seller and each Shareholder is equal to the Base Price as adjusted by the Adjustment Amount; or

(b) in case of breach by the Seller or the Shareholders of any of their undertakings, covenants or obligations under this agreement occurring prior to the Closing Date; or

(c) in case of Liability deriving from the events and circumstance: (x) listed in Sections 14.1(iii) and (iv); or (y) covered by the Letter of Excess Liabilities Indemnification, for which the maximum liability assumed by the Seller and the Shareholders shall be the one applicable pursuant to Section 10.2(d)(iv) above; or

(d) in case of Seller’s or the Shareholders’ fraud or gross negligence;

it being therefore understood that any such Liability will be indemnified on a euro-upon-euro basis with no time limitation (other than the applicable statutes of limitation and other than the Liabilities deriving from a breach of the Seller’s Representations and Warranties under Section 10.14 that will be indemnifiable for eight (8) months after the Closing Date) or limitation on amount (other than set forth above).

14.7. Deductions

(a) The amount of all indemnities payable by the Seller or the Shareholders pursuant to Section 14.1 will be reduced by:

(i) any fund or provision specifically identified in the Actual NWC as relating to the event giving rise to indemnification (up to the amount so specifically identified);

(ii) the amount of any payment actually received by the Purchaser Group or the VRV Group from third parties (whether insurance companies or otherwise) in connection with the event giving rise to indemnification provided that Purchaser has recovered its loss in full from Seller or the Shareholders; and

(iii) any compensation awarded and paid to IMB as a result of the counter-claim filed by IMB in the civil proceedings pending between IMB and Xx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx before the Court of Xxxxxxx, X.X. no. 17471/2017 up to the amount of the indemnity payable by the Seller.

(b) In the event and to the extent that any Indemnifiable Liability or a loss pursuant to Section 14.1(iv)(d) is deductible by the Purchaser or by any company of the VRV Group for income tax purposes in any given fiscal year, then, in such event and to such extent, the amount to be indemnified by the Seller will be reduced by an amount equal to the net tax benefit actually obtained (if any) by the Purchaser and/or any company of the VRV Group by virtue of such deduction (even if such tax benefit applies in subsequent fiscal years).

14.8. Exclusions

(a) The Seller and Shareholders shall not be liable under this Section 14 to the extent that the matter or circumstance giving rise to that claim:

(i) is or arises directly or indirectly from any matter or circumstance Disclosed in this agreement or in its Exhibits or in the Data Room Documents, without prejudice to the Seller’s indemnification obligations related to the events and circumstances listed in Section 14.1(ii), (iii), (iv) and (vi), which shall not be limited by any such Disclosure;

(ii) has been or is made good or is otherwise compensated for without cost to the Purchaser or the VRV Group;

(iii) has been accounted for in the Actual Financial Debt or Actual NWC (up to the amount so accounted for).

(b) The Seller and Shareholders shall not be liable under this Section 14 in the event and to extent that any Indemnifiable Liability is actually paid to the Purchaser or the VRV Group, as the case may be, by any third party (in each case net of all expenses).

- 36 -

(c) The Seller and Shareholders shall not be liable under this Section 14 to the extent the relevant liability would not have arisen but for:

(i) a change in legislation occurred after the Closing Date (whether relating to Tax, the rate of Tax or otherwise) or any amendment to or the withdrawal of any practice previously published by a Governmental Body, in either case occurring after the Closing Date, whether or not that change, amendment or withdrawal purports to be effective retrospectively in whole or in part; or

(ii) any act or omission of any company of the VRV Group occurring on or before the Closing Date carried out at the written request of the Purchaser’s representatives listed in Section 17.1.

14.9. Procedure for indemnification

(a) When the Purchaser receives notice of any claim made by third parties that is the basis for a claim for indemnification under this Article 14 (a “Third Party Claim”) or when the Purchaser has any other claim for indemnification other than a Third Party Claim that is the basis for a claim for indemnification under this Article 14 (“Other Claim”), the Purchaser shall promptly give written notice to the Seller or the Shareholders as the case may be. Such notice shall contain in reasonable detail:

(i) a description of the facts and the nature of the claim;

(ii) a description of the grounds on which the Purchaser considers that the facts give rise to liability for an Indemnifiable Liability;

(iii) the amount claimed; and

(iv) the indication of the date the Purchaser or its Affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, VRV Group) have received notice of a Third Party Claim or the date any of such Persons have acquired Knowledge of the circumstances or facts on which the Other Claim is based.

(b) The Purchaser shall use its Best Efforts to give any notice of Third Party Claims or Other Claims to the Seller or the Shareholders as the case may be as soon as possible after becoming actually aware of such claims; provided, that any delay by the Purchaser in giving such a notice shall not discharge the Seller or the Shareholders of their indemnification obligations under this agreement except and only to the extent such Person is prejudiced by such delay.

(c) The Purchaser shall, at the request of the Seller or the Shareholders as the case may be, allow the Seller or the Shareholders as the case may be to take the sole conduct of such actions in the name of the Purchaser or VRV Group provided, however, that the Seller or the Shareholders shall not be permitted to assume the defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim in respect of any criminal liability, or injunctive relief, or that involves customers of VRV Group, and the Seller or the Shareholders shall confirm in writing their indemnification responsibility hereunder for any such Third Party Claim prior to assuming such defense or settlement. If the Seller or the Shareholders take sole conduct of the action, the Purchaser shall assure its reasonable co-operation for the purpose of allowing the Seller or the Shareholders to carry out an effective defense and permitting the Seller or the Shareholders to appoint attorneys or consultants (in each case at Seller’s or the Shareholders’ sole cost and expense). For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller or the Shareholders shall have the right to take the sole conduct of the proceedings indicated in Section 14.1(v) and the Purchaser shall cause the VRV Group to cooperate with the Seller and act upon their instructions in relation to such proceedings.

(d) The Purchaser shall not, and shall cause VRV Group not to, make any admission of liability, agreement, settlement or compromise with any third party in relation to any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Seller or the Shareholders; provided, however, that if the Seller or the Shareholders elects not to assume sole conduct of any actions and a firm offer to settle is made to VRV Group or to the Purchaser, and the Seller or the Shareholders, but not the Purchaser, is willing to accept, the Purchaser or VRV Group (as the case may be) will be free not to enter into such settlement at their own expense, and the relevant liability of the Seller or the Shareholders will be limited to the amount of the proposed settlement.

- 37 -

(e) Within 20 calendar days from receipt of the relevant notice in accordance with letter (a) above, the Seller or the Shareholders shall send a written notice to the Purchaser (a “Response”) stating whether:

(i) the Seller or the Shareholders consider that the claim is covered by the provisions set forth under this agreement and: (i) accept the amount of the claim, in which case they shall pay the amount of the claim within 5 Business Days of the Response; or (ii) do not consider that the amount of the claim is correct, in which case any of the Parties may bring the controversy to arbitration in accordance with Section 28.2 unless a different agreement is reached by the relevant Parties; and

(ii) the Seller or the Shareholders consider that the claim is not covered under this agreement and consider they have no obligation to indemnify any Indemnifiable Liability, in which case, any of the relevant Parties may bring the controversy to arbitration in accordance with Section 28.2.

(f) In relation to Section 14.1(iv)(c), the Seller shall have the right prior to or after the Closing Date to cause the VRV Group to take any reasonable actions (in each case at the Seller’s sole cost and expense) against the relevant supplier in order to recover any amounts in connection with such recall. Any sum recovered by the VRV Group pursuant to this Section shall either reduce the Seller’s liability or be passed on to the Seller in case the Purchaser has been already indemnified.

(g) In relation to Section 14.1(iv)(a) and (b), the Seller shall have the right prior to or after the Closing Date to cause the VRV Group to take any reasonable actions (in each case at the Seller’s sole cost and expense) against any third party from whom the VRV Group may have the right to recover any sum for which it is deemed responsible in connection with the facts described in Section 14.1(iv)(a) and (b). Any sum recovered by the VRV Group pursuant to this paragraph shall either reduce the Seller’s liability or be passed on to the Seller in case the Purchaser has been already indemnified.

14.10. Tax Amnesty

In the event that, at any time between Closing and the date upon which the liability of the Seller for tax or social security matters shall expire pursuant to Section 14.4, any Law should be enacted having as an effect the right to settle, in whole or in part, any Tax or social security obligations of any VRV Group company covered – for a majority portion of the overall economic value of such Tax or social security obligations – by the Seller’s indemnity obligation hereunder (any such law, an “Amnesty”), the following provisions shall apply:

(i) the Seller shall have the right to request the Purchaser that the relevant company avail itself of the Amnesty;

(ii) the Purchaser shall have the right to determine (irrespective of any request of the Seller under paragraph (i)), whether or not the company should avail itself of the Amnesty;

(iii) if the Purchaser elects to cause the company to avail itself of an Amnesty without prior agreement with or request by the Seller, all costs and expenses of such Amnesty shall be borne by the Purchaser or the company, without recourse against the Seller; and

(iv) if the Purchaser elects to cause the company to avail itself of an Amnesty in agreement with the Seller or pursuant to the Seller’s request hereunder, all costs and expenses of such Amnesty shall be borne by the Seller, without prejudice to the limitations of the Seller’s liability set out in the other provisions of this Section 14.

- 38 -

14.11. Mitigation

Nothing in this agreement shall be deemed to relieve the Purchaser from any duty that is otherwise applicable to the Purchaser under article 1227 of the Italian civil code to mitigate any loss or damage incurred by it as a result of any of the Seller’s Representations and Warranties or the Shareholders’ Representations or Warranties being untrue or incorrect.

14.12. Recovery from third parties

If:

(a) the Seller or the Shareholders make a payment in respect of an Indemnifiable Liability (the “Damages Payment”);

(b) at any time after the making of such payment any VRV Group company or the Purchaser receives any sum other than from the Seller or the Shareholders which would not have been received but for the matter or circumstance giving rise to that Indemnifiable Liability (the “Third Party Sum”); and

(c) the receipt of the Third Party Sum was not taken into account in calculating the Indemnifiable Liability,

then the Purchaser shall, promptly following receipt of the Third Party Sum by it or any VRV Group company, repay an amount equal to the Third Party Sum (less any costs incurred by the Purchaser or such company in recovering the Third Party Sum) to the Seller or the Shareholders, as applicable.

14.13. Contingent liabilities

The Seller and the Shareholders shall not be required to indemnify the Purchaser under this Section 14 in respect of any contingent or potential liability of any company of the VRV Group or the Purchaser Group unless and until such liability has become actual and final and has been paid for by such company or has become the subject matter of a final and incontestable obligation to pay on such company. The foregoing, however, shall not prevent the Buyer from making a Third Party Claim or Other Claim at the time of any such contingent or potential liability, to preserve the relevant Third Party Claim or Other Claim in the event of expiration of the relevant survival period as per Section 14.4.

14.14. Waiver of set off rights

The Purchaser waives any and all rights of set off, counterclaim, deduction or retention against or in respect of any of its payment obligations under this agreement which it might otherwise have by virtue of any Indemnifiable Liability.

14.15. Remedy of breaches

If the matter or circumstance giving rise to a claim under this Section 14 is capable of remedy, the Seller or the applicable Shareholders shall have no liability in respect of such claim unless the relevant matter or circumstance is not remedied within 30 (thirty) calendar days after the date on which the Seller or the applicable Shareholders are given notice as contemplated 13.9 above in relation to that matter or circumstance. The Purchaser shall procure that the Seller or the applicable Shareholders are given the opportunity in such 30 (thirty) calendar day period to remedy the relevant matter or circumstance and shall, without prejudice to Section 14.11, provide, and shall procure that the VRV Group shall provide, all reasonable assistance to the Seller or the applicable Shareholders to remedy the relevant matter or circumstance; provided, however, that such required assistance (i) shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Seller or the applicable Shareholders and (ii) shall not adversely affect the business of the VRV Group.

- 39 -

14.16. Purchaser indemnification obligations

The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold the Seller and the Shareholders harmless from all losses, liabilities, claims, costs, expenses and damages – including, without limitation, legal costs and experts’ and consultants’ fees – incurred or suffered by the Seller or the Shareholders, as applicable, as a result of the Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties not being true and correct or as a result of the Purchaser not complying with its undertakings, covenants and obligations provided for in this agreement.

CHAPTER V

– POST-CLOSING OBLIGATIONS –

15. PURCHASER’S OPTION TO SELL AND ASSIGN THE OVERDUE RECEIVABLES TO SELLER

15.1. Option

At any time and from time to time during the six (6) month period commencing upon the 151^st day after the Closing Date (the “Option Period”), the Purchaser will have the option (the “Option”), but not the obligation, to cause any member of the VRV Group to sell and assign to the Seller all or part of its accounts receivable that exist on the Closing Date and are not collected within 150 days from the Closing Date (the “Overdue Receivables”). For the sake of clarity, it is understood that the Option can be exercised one or more times during the Option Period on an Overdue Receivable by Overdue Receivable basis.

15.2. Exercise of the Option

The Purchaser may exercise the Option by delivering to the Seller, at any time during the Option Period, a written notice (the “Option Notice”) providing, for each member of the VRV Group, the details of the Overdue Receivables which the Purchaser intends to sell and assign to the Seller (the “Optioned Overdue Receivables”).

15.3. Transfer price

If the Purchaser exercises the Option in accordance with Section 15.2, then the Purchaser shall cause the members of the VRV Group to sell and assign to the Seller, and the Seller shall acquire and purchase from the members of the VRV Group, all (and not less than all) of the Optioned Overdue Receivables for a consideration equal to their nominal value (the “Transfer Price”) in accordance with Section 15.4.

15.4. Transfer of the Optioned Overdue Receivables

On the 10^th Business Day following the date of receipt of the Option Notice by the Seller:

(a) the Purchaser shall cause the members of the VRV Group to enter into with the Seller, and the Seller shall enter into with the members of the VRV Group, by means of exchange of correspondence, an agreement for the sale without recourse (pro-soluto) of all of the Optioned Overdue Receivables; and

(b) the Seller shall pay the Transfer Price to the relevant members of the VRV Group;

(c) the members of the VRV Group and the Seller shall take any other actions and exchange any other instruments, agreements and documents that are required or advisable under the applicable Laws for the purpose of transferring and assigning the Optioned Overdue Receivables to the Seller.

- 40 -

15.5. Parties’ obligations after the assignment of the Optioned Overdue Receivables

As soon as reasonably practicable after the assignment of the Optioned Overdue Receivables, the Purchaser shall cause the relevant members of the VRV Group to:

(i) notify to the relevant debtors the assignment of the Optioned Overdue Receivables;

(ii) deliver to the Seller any documents in the possession of the VRV Group concerning the Optioned Overdue Receivables; and

(iii) remit to the Seller any amount received by the relevant VRV Group on account of payment of the Optioned Overdue Receivables.

16. RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

16.1. Non-competition and non-solicitation

For a period of 4 years after the Closing Date, the Shareholders and the Seller will not (and will cause their Related Parties not to), directly or indirectly, whether for their own account or for the account of any other Person, whether for or without compensation, acting alone or as a member of a partnership, as a shareholder of a company, as a holder or owner of any security, as an employee, director, agent, advisor, consultant to, independent contractor to, representative, or in any other capacity:

(a) carry on, or be engaged in, or otherwise take part in, the Relevant Business anywhere in the Territory; or

(b) invest in, own, manage, operate, finance, control, advise, render services to or guarantee the obligations of any Person engaged in or planning to become engaged in the Relevant Business anywhere in the Territory; or

(c) solicit the business of any Person who is a customer of the Purchaser or the VRV Group; or

(d) cause, induce or attempt to cause or induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee, employee, consultant or other business relation of the Purchaser to cease doing business with the Purchaser, to deal with any competitor of the Purchaser or in any way interfere with its relationship with the Purchaser; or

(e) cause, induce or attempt to cause or induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee, employee, consultant or other business relation of the VRV Group on the Closing Date or within the year preceding the Closing Date to cease doing business with the VRV Group, to deal with any competitor of the VRV Group or in any way interfere with its relationship with the VRV Group; or

(f) hire, retain or attempt to hire or retain any employee or independent contractor of the Purchaser Group or the VRV Group or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Purchaser Group or the VRV Group and any of their employees or independent contractors.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 16.1 shall prevent the Shareholders or the Seller from:

(i) being engaged in any position within any industry association (associazioni di categoria) (accordingly, any position accepted or maintained by any of the Shareholders in any such associations shall not constitute a breach of the above undertakings);

(ii) investing in publicly-traded companies, provided that the stake so acquired by the Shareholders and/or the Seller in any such company does not exceed 2.5% of its share capital;

(iii) completing the transactions of the Iran Business that are currently outstanding and set forth on Exhibit 12.15; or

(iv) hiring independent professionals such as lawyers and/or accountants (commercialisti) who work or have worked with the VRV Group.

16.2. Nature of the restrictive covenants set out in Section 16.1

The Seller and the Shareholders acknowledge and agree that the restrictive covenants set out in Section 16.1 are not autonomous and distinct from the sale of the Interest; instead, such restrictive covenants are ancillary to the sale of the Interest and constitute an essential part of the Transaction, as they are instrumental in protecting the goodwill and preserving intact the business organization of the VRV Group, whose value has been expressly taken into account by the Purchaser in the valuation of the VRV Group.

- 41 -

16.3. Consideration of the restrictive covenants set out in Section 16.1

Also by virtue of what is stated in Section 16.2, the consideration for the restrictive covenants set out in Section 16.1 has been expressly taken into account and included in the purchase price of the Interest. Therefore, it is understood that the Shareholders and the Seller have assumed the obligations set out in Section 16.1 for a consideration (a titolo oneroso) although the Seller and the Shareholders are not entitled to receive any compensation or consideration – other than the purchase price of the Interest – for such restrictive covenants.

16.4. Liquidated damages

The Seller and the Shareholders acknowledge and agree that the complete and exact performance of the non-competition and non-solicitation undertakings under Section 16.1 by each of them form a significant part of the benefit that the Purchaser intends to realize in connection with this agreement, and that the Purchaser would be greatly damaged if any of the Seller or the Shareholders did not perform its obligations under Section 16.1 in accordance with their specific terms. Accordingly, in the event that any of the Seller or the Shareholders breaches any of its, his or her obligations under Section 16.1, the Shareholders and Seller, pursuant to section 1382 of the Italian civil code, will be responsible to pay to the Purchaser, in addition to any other right or remedy to which the Purchaser may be entitled, an amount equal to euro 3,000,000.00. The Seller and the Shareholders acknowledge and agree that such amount is a genuine, fair and reasonable estimate of the minimum damages that the Purchaser would suffer if any of the Shareholders or the Seller breached any of its obligations under Section 16.1.

17. COMPANY’S DIRECTORS

(a) As soon as possible after the Closing Date and in any case within three Business Days from the confirmation of the registration of the Deed of Transfer with the Registry of Enterprises (Registro delle Imprese), the Purchaser shall hold in plenary session an ordinary shareholders’ meeting of NewCo and the Subsidiaries and resolve to (i) ratify and hold proper and valid all actions taken by the resigning directors; and (ii) waive any type of claim, suit, litigation and action against the resigning directors, all of the above except in case of criminal behavior of the resigning directors.

(b) The Purchaser undertakes not to initiate and/or permit to be initiated by any of the companies of the VRV Group or the Purchaser Group, any action, claim or litigation against any current or former director or officer of any of such Companies in connection with such director’s office within any company of the VRV Group as held until the Closing Date or within the Seller until the date of the Contribution, all of the above except in case of criminal behavior.

(c) The Purchaser undertakes to indemnify and pay to the Seller all losses, liabilities, claims, costs, expenses and damages – including, without limitation, legal costs and experts’ and consultants’ fees – suffered by the Seller, any current or former director of any company of the VRV Group or the Seller which are the direct consequence of any action, claim or litigation brought by the Purchaser Group against any current or former director or officer of any company of the VRV Group or the Seller in connection with such director’s office within any company of the VRV Group or within the Seller as held until the Closing Date or within the Seller until the date of the Contribution, all of the above except in case of criminal behavior.

(d) If the provision under (a) above is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, under the law applicable thereto, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions contained in that paragraph and elsewhere in this agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired. The Parties shall nevertheless negotiate in good faith in order to agree the terms of mutually satisfactory provisions, achieving as closely as possible the same commercial effect, to replace the provisions found to be void or unenforceable. In particular, it is agreed, for the purposes

- 42 -

of Article 1419 of the Italian Civil Code, that the provision set forth in letter (a) above has not an essential nature and its invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not in any case impair neither the validity, legality and enforceability of the provision set forth in letter (c) above nor any other provision hereof.

(e) The undertakings of the Purchaser set out in letters (a) and (c) above shall remain in full force and effect in relation to any claim of which notice is given to the Purchaser by the Seller within 5 (five) years from Closing Date and the Purchaser undertakes to deliver on the Closing Date to any current director of any VRV Company that is not a Shareholder a letter reproducing the undertakings contained in this Section 17.

(f) To the extent that any company in the VRV Group, prior to the Closing, acquires a directors’ liability insurance policy covering actions, claims or litigations based on actions carried out by such directors prior to the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall not cancel and shall cause the VRV Group to maintain such policy (or any policy having the same or better terms and conditions such as the current insurance policies of the VRV Group) for a period of five years. 50% of the cost of such insurance policy (net of any tax benefit of the VRV Group) shall be reimbursed by the Seller (up to the amount of the premium currently paid by VRV) to the Purchaser.

18. COOPERATION

(a) The Purchaser shall, until the fifth (5th) anniversary of Closing, cause NewCo to retain and allow the Seller or representatives of the Seller to have reasonable access to (and, at the Seller’s expense, copies of) the books, records, documents and financial and operating data relating to the VRV Business to the extent that they relate to the period prior to Closing and to the extent (and only to the extent) such access is reasonably required by the Seller to carry out the Iran Business and comply with any relevant law or regulations or in connection with the preparation of any financial statements and Tax returns (subject, in each case, to matters that are privileged, restricted by law or otherwise competitively sensitive). The Purchaser shall cause NewCo to not destroy any such books, records, documents and data prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of Closing.

(b) The Shareholders shall cause VRV to perform and comply with the obligations relating to the Iran Business.
