If and to the extent that the respective Seller is unable to achieve this position within a reasonable time period, Purchaser may make a claim against the respective Seller for monetary damages (Schadensersatz in Geld) pursuant to Section 249 et seq. BGB or against the Founders under Section 6.2(b) hereof.

BGB for any and all Damages suffered by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, arising out of any of the following:

(a) any breach of any Sellers’ Warranties made by Founders or Sellers in Article III of this Agreement (it being understood that, for purposes of this Section 6.2(a), none of the Sellers’ Warranties contained in Article III shall be deemed to include any Material Adverse Effect qualifier or any other qualifier in respect of materiality);

(b) subject to Section 6.1, any breach of the Individual Seller Warranties by any Seller; or

(c) any breach of or failure by the Founders or Sellers to perform any covenant or obligation of the Founders or Sellers set out in this Agreement.

6.3 Indemnification by Purchaser. Purchaser agrees to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties against, and agrees to hold the Seller Indemnified Parties harmless from, any and all Damages incurred or suffered by the Seller Indemnified Parties, and the Seller Indemnified Parties may immediately make a claim for monetary damages (Schadensersatz in Geld) pursuant to Section 249 et seq.

(a) any breach of or any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement; or

(b) any breach of or failure by Purchaser to perform any covenant or obligation of Purchaser set out in this Agreement.

6.4 Contents of Sellers’ Warranties. Purchaser acknowledges that it has been given the opportunity to investigate the Company, the Subsidiaries and their businesses, assets, records and premises in detail. Purchaser acknowledges that none of the data, documentation and information provided or made available to the Purchaser constitutes (i) a guarantee regarding qualities or characteristics (Beschaffenheitsgarantie) in the meaning of Sections 443, 444 BGB, or (ii) an agreement regarding the qualities or characteristics (Beschaffenheitsvereinbarungen) in the meaning of Section 434 para. 1 sentence 1 BGB. Sellers make no express or implied representations and warranties or guarantees of whatsoever legal nature regarding the profitability of the Company, the Subsidiaries or of any specific assets. Any claims under any express or implied representations or warranties or statutory warranties in addition to the Sellers’ Warranties set forth in Article III shall be excluded, with

the exception of claims resulting from fraud or willful deceit (arglistige Täuschung) or other intentional actions by the Sellers.

6.5 Claims. As promptly as is reasonably practicable after becoming aware of a claim for Damages under this Agreement not involving a claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding, of the type described in Section 6.6, the Indemnified Person shall give notice to the Indemnifying Person of such claim, which notice shall specify the facts alleged to constitute the basis for such claim, the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations alleged to have been breached and the amount that the Indemnified Person seeks hereunder from the Indemnifying Person, together with such information as may be necessary for the Indemnifying Person to determine that the limitations in Section 6.11 have been satisfied or do not apply; provided, that the failure of the Indemnified Person to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Person shall have been prejudiced thereby.

6.6 Notice of Third Party Claims; Assumption of Defense. The Indemnified Person shall give notice as promptly as is reasonably practicable to the Indemnifying Person of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding, by any Person not a party hereto in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement (which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such claim together with such information as may be necessary for the Indemnifying Person to determine that the limitations in Section 6.11 have been satisfied or do not apply); provided, that the failure of the Indemnified Person to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Person shall have been prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Person will have the right, upon written notice delivered to the Indemnified Person within ten (10) days thereafter to assume the defense of such claim at its own expense. In the event, however, that the Indemnifying Person declines or fails to assume the defense of such claim on the terms provided within such ten (10)-day period, then such Indemnified Person may employ counsel to represent or defend it in any action or proceeding; provided, that any reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel incurred by the Indemnified Person will be paid by the Indemnifying Person as part of any Damages incurred or suffered by the Indemnified Person resulting from such claim. Regarding any claim for which the Indemnifying Person has assumed the defense, the Indemnified Person will have the right to participate in such matter and to retain its own counsel. Such counsel’s reasonable fees and costs shall be at the Indemnified Person’s expense in the event the Indemnifying Person is successful in defending the underlying action and at the Indemnifying Person’s expense in the event the Indemnifying Person is unsuccessful in defending such action. In the event the Indemnifying Person is only partly successful or unsuccessful, as the case may be, in defending such third party claim, the reasonable fees and costs shall be divided between the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person on a pro rata basis (applying Section 92 para.1 sentence 1 last part German Civil Code of Procedure (ZPO) mutatis mutandis). The Indemnifying Person will at all times use reasonable efforts to keep the Indemnified Person reasonably apprised of the status of the defense of any matter the defense of which the Indemnifying Person has assumed and to cooperate in good faith with the Indemnified Person with respect to the defense of any such matter. To the extent the Indemnifying Person shall control or participate in the defense or settlement of any third party claim or demand, the Indemnified Person will give to the Indemnifying Person and its counsel

reasonable access to all business records and other documents relevant to such defense or settlement, and shall permit them to consult with the employees and counsel of the Indemnifying Person. The Indemnified Person shall use its reasonable best efforts in the defense of all such claims.

6.7 Settlement or Compromise. No Indemnified Person may settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Person, unless (a) the Indemnifying Person fails to assume and maintain the defense of such claim pursuant to Section 6.6 or (b) such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Indemnifying Person and its officers, directors, employees and Affiliates from all liability arising out of such claim. An Indemnifying Person may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder unless, (i) such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Person and its officers, directors, employees and Affiliates from all liability arising out of such claim, (ii) does not contain any admission or statement suggesting any wrongdoing or liability on behalf of the Indemnified Person and (iii) does not contain any equitable order, judgment or term which in any manner affects, restrains or interferes with the business of the Indemnified Person or any of the Indemnified Person’s Affiliates.

6.8 Knowledge For the purpose of the Sellers’ Warranties contained in Article III of this Agreement, Founders shall be deemed to have knowledge of any fact or circumstance (i) actually known to them, (ii) that a reasonable business manager would have known under the applicable circumstances or (iii) if reasonable inquiry to the individuals set forth on Schedule 6.8 would have revealed such fact or circumstance. For the avoidance of doubt, a Sellers’ Warranty that is qualified by knowledge shall not be breached unless a Founder has actual or deemed knowledge of such breach.

6.9 Exclusion of Claims The Purchaser shall not be entitled to make any claim under Section 6.1 or 6.2 under the following circumstances:

(a) the matter to which the claim relates is specifically reserved for in the Financial Statements by way of liability, provision (Rückstellung) or depreciation (Abschreibung); or

(b) the amount of the claim has been recovered from a third party or under an insurance policy.

6.10 Time Limitations. All claims of the Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.2(a) hereof shall be time barred (verjährt) eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, except for all claims in respect of liabilities for breach of or inaccuracy in (i) the Tax Warranty, which shall become time barred on the Tax Statue of Limitations Date, (ii) the Fundamental Warranties, which shall be time barred after thirty (30) years after the Closing Date, and (iii) any representation contained in Section 3.13(e), which shall not be time barred but instead shall survive forever. If a due notice in accordance with Sections 6.5 or 6.6 was given within the respective time period set forth in the preceding sentence after the Closing Date, claims for which such notice was

given shall become time barred after an additional eighteen (18) month period unless Sections 204, 205, 206 or 212 of the German Civil Code (BGB) apply. Neither Purchaser nor Sellers shall have any liability pursuant to Section 6.2(a) with respect to claims that became time barred after the period specified in this Section 6.10.

6.11 Limitations on Liability of Sellers.

(b) Sellers shall have no liability under Section 6.2(a) for a breach of a representation contained in Sections 3.12(a)(iv) or 3.13(c)(ii) unless Purchaser shall have incurred Damages that in the aggregate with all other claims pursuant to a breach of such representation is in excess of EUR 150,000, in which case Purchaser shall have the right to payment for all such aggregate Damages.

(c) Sellers shall have no liability under Section 6.2(a) in excess of the Holdback Amount minus amounts paid out from the escrow to the Founders pursuant to Sections 2.4(a) and (b) except for any or all Damages incurred from or arising out of or in connection with (i) fraud or willful misconduct (arglistige Täuschung) of a Seller, for which Purchaser’s right to recover any such Damages shall not be limited or subject to any cap, (ii) a breach of any of the Individual Seller Warranties, for which each Minority Sellers’ liability shall be limited to its respective Proportionate Share of the Purchase Price, (iii) a breach of any representation contained in Section 3.5(e) hereof, for which each Founder’s liability shall be limited to (x) its respective Proportionate Share of the Purchase Price for any claim brought by a Purchaser Indemnified Party during the one hundred eighty (180) day period immediately following the Closing Date or (y) the Holdback Amount (minus amounts paid out from the escrow to the Founders pursuant to Sections 2.4(a) and (b)) for any claim brought by a Purchaser Indemnified Party after the expiration of such one hundred eighty (180) day period and (iv) a breach of any Fundamental Warranty, Tax Warranty or any representation contained in Section 3.13(e) hereof, for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties’ rights to recover any such Damages shall not be limited or subject to any cap.

(d) Unless in the case of fraud or willful misconduct (arglistige Täuschung) of a Minority Seller, the Minority Sellers shall under no circumstances be liable for breach of any representation and warranty or otherwise, except with respect to the Individual Seller Warranties for which the liability of each of the Minority Sellers shall be limited to such Seller’s Proportionate Share of the Purchase Price.

(e) Any losses recovered by Purchaser pursuant to Article VI shall be limited to Damages actually incurred by the respective Purchaser Indemnified Party.

6.12 Exclusion of Further Remedies. Sellers and Purchaser agree that remedies the Purchaser may have against Sellers for breach of a Sellers’ Warranty set forth in this Agreement are solely governed by this Agreement, and the remedies provided for by this Agreement shall be the exclusive remedies available to Purchaser except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct of a Seller. All other and further remedies (Rechtsfolgen) that might be available to the Purchaser for statutory or other reasons (in addition to the remedies set forth in this Agreement) hereof shall be excluded. This exclusion shall apply to all claims and rights of whatever legal nature except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct, and shall in particular exclude without limiting the generality of the foregoing, claims under pre-contractual fault (Section 311 para. 2 and 3 of the BGB), breach of contract (Pflichtverletzung aus dem Schuldverhältnis) and/or rights following the statutory regulations following defects in the purchased objects (Section 437 of the BGB)(Sachmaengelgewaehrleistungsrecht) including but not limited to the right to reduce the Purchase Price (Minderung) or to rescind this Agreement (Rücktritt), any liability in tort (Deliktshaftung) and to all other rights and claims having a similar consequence and under all circumstances. The parties agree that Section 442 of the German Civil Code (BGB) and Section 337 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) shall neither apply directly nor mutatis mutandis.

6.13 Offset of Advantages and Disadvantages; Claims against Third Parties; No Double Relief

(a) The amount of Damages incurred or suffered by any Indemnified Person shall be reduced by an amount equal to the net present value of the realizable Tax benefit of the Indemnified Party for the taxable year in which such Damages were incurred by the Indemnified Person arising from the facts or circumstances giving rise to such Damages, as well as all subsequent years, in each case calculated using a discount rate equal to the Indemnified Party’s good faith estimate of its cost of capital as of the date of such incurrence.

(b) Payments made by the Sellers under this Article VI shall constitute between the Seller and the Purchaser a reduction of the Purchase Price.

(c) To the extent any amount has been recovered from the Sellers under this Agreement or under Law and to the extent that the Sellers have established the situation that would exist had the relevant Sellers’ Warranty at the relevant time (Naturalrestitution), any other claim with respect to the same matter

under any other provision of this Agreement or any rule of Law shall be excluded, unless the claim exceeds the amount recovered in the previous claim in which case the Purchaser shall be entitled to recover the excess amount only.

6.15 Recourse to Seller Holdback Amount. In the event that Purchaser is entitled to Damages pursuant to Section 6.2, such amounts shall be satisfied first through the setoff of the amount of such Damage from the Holdback Amount. In the event that there are any Damages for which any Purchaser Indemnified Party would be entitled to pursuant to the terms of this Article VI, or any third party has alleged any facts or circumstances pursuant to which any Purchaser Indemnified Party may be entitled to Damages pursuant to the terms of this Article VI, and provided in each case that such claim is not time barred, Purchaser shall be entitled to advise the notary in writing to retain the amount of such Damages (or Purchaser’s good faith estimate of the likely amount of such alleged Damages) until the amount of the Damages is finally determined.
