RECITALS

The Sellers desire to sell, and Purchaser desires to purchase, 7,200 ordinary shares, €1.00 par value per share, and 1,600 cumulative preference shares, €1.00 par value per share, of the Company, for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000,000, which shares represent, immediately after such issuance, forty percent (40%) of the outstanding capital stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis (the “Initial Shares”).

Purchaser and the Seller Parties have entered into an Option Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Option Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, and subject to certain exceptions set forth therein, (i) Purchaser may elect, in its sole discretion, to cause the Sellers to sell to Purchaser the remaining issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Company held by the Sellers (the “Remaining Shares,” and along with the Initial Shares, the “Seller Shares”) upon delivery of a Purchase Election Notice (as defined therein) to the Sellers’ Representative (as defined in the Option Purchase Agreement) at any time between the second anniversary of the date of the Option Purchase Agreement and the fourth anniversary thereof (the “Call Option Period”), and (ii) Purchaser shall be obligated to purchase from the Sellers all of the Remaining Shares in the event (A) the Sellers’ Representative (as defined in the Option Purchase Agreement) delivers a Milestone Completion Notice (as defined therein) to Purchaser at any time between the date of the Option Purchase Agreement and the second anniversary thereof (the “Put Option Period”) or (B) Purchaser’s *** (as defined in the Option Purchase Agreement) is greater than *** at any time during the Call Option Period. Any purchase of the Remaining Shares by the Purchaser pursuant to the Option Purchase Agreement shall be referred to herein as an “Acquisition.” The period from the date of the Option Agreement through the expiration of the Call Option Period shall be referred to herein as the “Option Period.”

(a) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding against it, such Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made against an Indemnifying Person under such Section, give notice to the Indemnifying Person of the commencement of such claim, but the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person will not relieve the Indemnifying Person of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person demonstrates that the defense of such action is prejudiced by the Indemnified Person’s failure to give such notice.

(b) If any Proceeding referred to in Section 7.5(a) is brought against an Indemnified Person and it gives notice to the party from which such Indemnified Person is entitled to receive indemnification (an “Indemnifying Person”) of the commencement of such Proceeding, the Indemnifying Person will be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the Indemnifying Person is also a party to such Proceeding and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, or (ii) the Indemnifying Person fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Person of its financial capacity to defend such Proceeding and provide indemnification with respect to such Proceeding), to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Person and, after notice from the Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the Indemnifying Person will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Person under this Section 7 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Proceeding, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of such Proceeding, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of a Proceeding: (i) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Proceeding are within the scope of and subject to indemnification; (ii) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the Indemnifying Person without the Indemnified Person’s consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or any violation of the rights of any Person, provided such settlement or compromise would not materially and adversely prejudice the business or other commercial interests of the Indemnified Person, and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Person; and (iii) the Indemnified Person will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent. If notice is given to an Indemnifying Person of the commencement of any Proceeding and the Indemnifying Person does not, within ten (10) days after the Indemnified Person’s notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Person of its

election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the Indemnifying Person will be bound by any determination made in such Proceeding or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Person if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Person determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Proceeding may adversely affect it or its Affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Person may, by notice to the Indemnifying Person, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such Proceeding, but the Indemnifying Person will not be bound by any determination of a Proceeding so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld).

(d) Each Seller hereby consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Proceeding is brought against any indemnified party for purposes of any claim that an Indemnified Person may have under this Agreement with respect to such Proceeding or the matters alleged therein, and agrees that process may be served on Sellers with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world.

7.6 Procedure for Indemnification—Other Claims. A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought.

7.7 Remedies Exclusive. Except in the event of fraud or willful misconduct (in which case the defrauded party shall have all rights and remedies available under this Agreement and available under the law against the party that committed such fraud or willful misconduct), the remedies provided in this Section 7 shall be the exclusive remedies of the parties hereto and their heirs, Affiliates, successors, and assigns after the Closing with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement. Except as set forth in this Section 7.7, no party may bring or commence any Proceeding with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, except to bring a claim for (a) fraud or willful misconduct against the party that committed such fraud or willful misconduct and (b) indemnification in accordance with Section 7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit the rights of any party hereto to seek or obtain injunctive relief or other equitable remedies to which such party may otherwise be entitled. The provisions of this Section 7 constitute an integral part of the consideration given pursuant to this Agreement and were specifically bargained for and reflected in the total amount of the Purchase Price payable to the Sellers.
