Execution Version

(c) plus Cash of Company 1

9. LEGAL CONSEQUENCES IN CASE OF INCORRECT WARRANTIES

9.1 If one or more Warranties are incorrect, then the Buyers undertake to inform the Seller in writing of the actual or possible breach as soon as reasonably possible after gaining knowledge of it, together with a detailed description of the circumstances and, to the extent possible, the estimated value of the claim. The Buyers are in each case of a breach of a Warranty entitled to demand from the Seller that the warranted situation be restored (Naturalrestitution) within a reasonable period of time (usually within 2 months, if no shorter period is necessary given the actual circumstances) from timely notification of the Seller. If the Buyers demand provision of the warranted situation and this demand is not fully met within said period, or if provision of the warranted situation turns out to be impossible, or if the Seller refuses provision of the warranted situation for whatever reason, then the Buyers are entitled to demand from the Seller that damages (Schadensersatz), including damages from loss of rent (including ancillary costs), in accordance with §§ 249 et seq. BGB be paid instead. Claims for consequential damages (Folgeschäden), loss of profits (entgangener Gewinn) other than loss of rent (including ancillary costs), internal administration costs or overheads (Gemeinkosten), or claims or objections that the purchase price was calculated based on false assumptions are hereby excluded.

9.2 To the extent permitted by statute, section 377 HGB and section 203 BGB do not apply.

9.3 The liability of the Seller under this Clause 9 is excluded to the extent that the disadvantages to be compensated or the facts and circumstances forming the basis of the claim are taken into account in the Final Closing Date Accounts as a liability, depreciation, write-off allowance, provision or reserve or in the Annual Accounts, or have led to an adjustment of the Purchase Price according to Clause 6.1 in connection with Clause 6.2.

9.4 Save for any claims based on the incorrectness of Warranties under Clauses 7.1.1-7.1.5, 7.1.7-7.1.9, 7.4.1-7.4.3 and 7.5.1, the Buyers are entitled to raise claims against the Seller under this Clause 9 only to the extent that any such claim in the individual case exceeds EUR 10,000 (in words: Euro ten thousand) (de minimis), but then to the full extent.

The maximum aggregate liability of the Seller for all claims under this Clause 9, except for any claims based on the incorrectness of Warranties under Clauses 7.1.1-7.1.5, 7.1.7-7.1.9, 7.4.1-7.4.3 and 7.5.1, shall be limited to an amount equal to EUR [***] (in words: Euro [***]). In any case, the total amount of claims of the Buyers under or in connection with this Agreement shall be limited to an amount equal to [***].

9.5 The Buyers’ claims under this Clause 9 become time-barred [***] after the Closing Date, except as provided otherwise in the following. Claims based on the incorrectness of Warranties under Clauses 7.1 and 7.4 become time-barred [***] after the Closing Date.

This clause is entered into for the benefit of such officers, directors and employees and shall be directly enforceable against the Buyers by each of them (echter Vertrag zu Gunsten Dritter).

9.8 For one and the same loss, claims may be asserted against the Seller only once, even if they are based on more than one breach of Warranty.

9.9 For the avoidance of doubt: § 254 BGB applies.

9.10 The Buyers agree that in the event that Seller settles any claims the Buyers or the Companies have against third parties and there are any additional indemnity claims against such third party, the Buyers shall ensure, to the extent permitted by law, that such claims against the third parties shall be promptly assigned to Seller.

9.11 If the Buyers or any of the Companies are subject to any third-party claims in connection with any breach of a Warranty, Buyers shall ensure that

9.11.1 they cooperate with Seller in the defence of such claims, and that Seller shall immediately be provided with a copy of the written claims or, absent written claims, with a written summary of the claims and all documents containing deadlines;

9.11.2 Seller shall be provided with an opportunity to defend on Seller’s own cost and expense such claims on behalf of Buyers or the Companies, to institute all appropriate proceedings, and to coordinate those defensive measures; and

9.12 Limitations of liability (Haftungsbeschraenkungen) of the Seller pursuant to this Agreement shall be excluded to the extent the Seller has acted willfully (vorsätzlich).

11.1 If the Date of Condition Fulfilment or the Closing has not occurred within 3 (three) months from the Signing Date (“Long Stop Date”) the Buyers and the Seller shall be entitled to withdraw from this Agreement, unless the withdrawing Party has culpably caused that the relevant Closing Condition has not been fulfilled or the relevant Closing action has not been performed by the Long Stop Date. If one of the Parties withdraws and the other Party has culpably caused that that the relevant Closing Condition has not been fulfilled or the relevant Closing action has not been performed by the Long Stop Date, the other Party shall pay to the withdrawing Party damages in accordance with the statutory provisions.

11.2 The Buyers and the Seller are further entitled to withdraw from this Agreement if a Material Adverse Change occurs by the Closing Date, it being understood that a Party shall not be entitled to exercise this withdrawal right if such Party has culpably caused the Material Adverse Change. “Material Adverse Change” is any event or change that, individually or together with any other event or change, may have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities, state of affairs or the financial or income situation or earning prospects of any of the Companies due to the following:

(a) any event causing a major damage to the assets of the Companies, in particular to any of the Properties which value exceeds an amount equal to 30% of the net asset value of any Property or such damage has led or will lead to a decrease of the rental income of any Property by at least 20% for a period reasonably expected to exceed 3 (three) months;

(b) any of the Loan Agreements becoming repayable prematurely until the Closing Date; or

(c) any of the Companies has filed for insolvency or would be obliged to file for insolvency or insolvency proceedings were rejected in respect of any of the Companies due to lack of assets.

The notification shall include all necessary and appropriate information relating to the Material Adverse Change. In case of a withdrawal in accordance with this Clause 11.2, the Parties shall not owe any damages to each other unless the Material Adverse Change has been culpably caused by the other Party.

11.3 If the Buyers fail to pay the Preliminary Purchase Price in full when due Seller shall, further to written notification without effect within ten (10) Business Days, have the right to withdraw from this Agreement.

12. ACQUISITION RETAINER, ONGOING LITIGATION AND DEFECTS

12.1 The Buyers are aware that Company 2 still retains a purchase price retainer on a joint bank account at BLB in the aggregate amount of about EUR 300,000 (the “Acquisition Retainer”) against the former owners of the Properties 2, REPCO 8 S.A., REPCO 15 S.A., REPCO 14 S.A. and REPCO 2 S.A., (together “REPCO”) who sold the Properties to Company 2 pursuant to sale and purchase agreement dated 3 August 2012 (notarial deed no. 682/2012 O of notary Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx with seat of business in Frankfurt am Main; the “Acquisition Agreement”).

Litigation is currently pending at the Regional Court (Landgericht) of Frankfurt am Main pursuant to which REPCO claims from Company 2 the release of the Acquisition Retainer in an amount of EUR 275,000 plus interest. Company 2 is refusing to pay out the retainer and claims that it is entitled to keep the retainer to cover certain costs for the removal of defects at Property 2c (Worms).

12.2 The Parties agree that any liability to pay out the Acquisition Retainer, any liability in connection with the ongoing litigation (e.g. lawyer and court fees) and the existence of the Acquisition Retainer including the technical defects relating to thereto shall be irrelevant for the calculation of the Purchase Price.

12.3 The Parties shall procure that Company 2 agrees and grants the Seller power of attorney to continue the ongoing litigation with REPCO, to put forward a counterclaim (Widerklage) or file a suit against REPCO (e.g. in relation to a consent of REPCO to pay out amounts from the joint bank account to Company 2 or claims for damages of Company 2), to lead any settlement negotiations with REPCO and/or to conclude a settlement agreement with REPCO concerning the Acquisition Retainer and the defects at Property 2c (Worms) at the Seller’s free discretion even after Closing. The power of attorney shall also comprise any agreement with BLB on the terms of the escrow account. If so requested by the Seller, Company 2 will issue such power of attorney also in a separated deed.

12.4 The Seller is obliged to fully indemnify Company 2 from and against any and all liabilities (in particular any and all court and legal fees), in connection with the Acquisition Retainer, the use of the power of attorney pursuant to Clause 12.3 and the ongoing and/or any subsequent litigation of Company 2 against REPCO in connection with the Acquisition Retainer and the defects at Property 2c (Worms) to the extent such liabilities have not been recovered from REPCO, and in particular pay out to REPCO on behalf of Company 2 the Acquisition Retainer if, when and to the extent so required.

12.5 If and to the extent that, pursuant to a final and binding court ruling or settlement agreement with REPCO, Company 2 is entitled to any damages to be paid by REPCO to the Company 2 and to eventually keep or receive the Acquisition Retainer or partial amounts of the Acquisition Retainer, the Seller shall be entitled to these funds and Buyers will procure that Company 2 will pay to the Seller any such funds received by Company 2 or instruct payment to the Seller from the joint bank account and damages received from REPCO and/or, at the request of the Seller, assign any such claims against REPCO to the Seller.

13.1 The Seller hereby confirms that the relevant turn-over of the Companies in the past full business year was below EUR 5,000,000 (per Company and in total).

14. TRANSFER OF THE ENTERPRISE AND CONTINUATION OF THE BUSINESS NAME

14.1 The Seller shall ensure that, until the transfer of the Sold Shares becomes effective, the business operations of the Companies will be carried on in substantially the same manner as before, and that transactions and/or measures that may affect the substance of the enterprise of the Companies and/or change the basis for the acquisition will only be entered into with the prior consent of the Buyers. The following transactions and/or measures are, in particular, deemed to be such transactions or measures:

(a) Substantial amendments to the Company 1 Articles of Association or the Company 2 Articles of Association;

(g) conclusion, amendment to or termination of any of any lease agreement pertaining to any Property.

14.3.2 any fees (Gebühren etc.) pursuant to statutory public law provisions (e.g. building permit fees)

pertaining to any Property are not accounted for in the calculation of the Purchase Price, the Seller shall reimburse the respective Company immediately if and when such development contributions, charges or fees are levied, but only if and to the extent and provided that the relevant measures underlying such contributions, charges or fees have been carried out prior to the Closing Date and that such cost and fees have not been taken into account for the calculation of the Purchase Price.

14.4 The Seller shall ensure that, prior to the Closing Date, each Company instructs the service provider Vistra Luxembourg S.à x.x., 00, xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, X-0000 Xxxxxxxxxx, to prepare the Companies’ annual accounts (each consisting of the balance sheet, the profit and loss account and the notes) for the financial year 2014 in compliance with Luxembourg GAAP and consistent with accounting practice since formation of the Companies. The costs for such services shall be shown as Liabilities in the Final Closing Date Accounts, and if or to the extent this has not been the case, for whatever reason, the Seller shall indemnify or reimburse such costs to the relevant Company(ies) when they become due for payment. Any such indemnification/reimbursement payment shall be considered a reduction of the Purchase Price.

The Seller shall not assert any claims against the managers of the Companies appointed as from the Closing Date in connection with the establishment of the annual accounts 2014 to the extent the annual accounts 2014 have been made and established in agreement with the Seller.

The Buyers shall procure that neither the managers of the Companies appointed as from the Closing Date nor the Companies shall make any claims against the Seller in connection with the contents of the annual accounts 2014, save of (i) any claims the Buyers may have under this Agreement and (ii) any statutory claims of the Buyers for fraud which remain unaffected.

14.5 The Parties are aware of the letter dated 26 November 2014 by the tenant Lidl Vertriebs GmbH & Co. KG to Estama GmbH pursuant to which the tenant complained about certain defects of Property 2b (Bremerhaven) (the “Defects Bremerhaven”) and demanded removal of such defects by 15 February 2015.

14.5.1 The Seller shall ensure that, prior to the Closing Date, Company 2 instructs a qualified expert/qualified contractor(s) to analyze the defects complained

about by the tenant in said notice, and if so required, instruct any and all works required to remove such defects if and to the extent so required under the relevant lease agreement with this tenant or statutory law. To the extent not settled until the Closing Date, the costs for such analysis and, if so required, removal of defects shall be shown as Liabilities in the Final Closing Date Accounts, and if or to the extent this has not been the case, for whatever reason, the Seller shall indemnify or reimburse such costs to Company 2 when they become due for payment. Any such indemnification/reimbursement payment shall be considered a reduction of the Purchase Price.

14.5.2 The Seller shall indemnify Company 2 and the Buyers from any and all damages caused by Company 2 through not removing the defects in a timely manner, e.g. in particular rent reductions (Minderungen) or damages claims (Schadensersatzansprüche) of the tenant.

14.5.3 The Parties shall ensure that, as from Closing and if so requested by the Seller, Company 2 grants a power of attorney to the Seller (or an adviser appointed by the Seller) in a separate document to resolve this entire matter (e.g. conclude agreements with contractors, reach a settlement with the tenant etc.) to the satisfaction of the tenant. The Seller shall make careful use of such power of attorney, discuss any measures with Company 2 and Buyers in good faith, and fully indemnify and hold harmless Company 2 from and against any liabilities and damages caused by Seller making use of such power of attorney.

14.5.4 If the Seller does not present to the Buyers until three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date a written confirmation of an expert (Sachverständiger) or of Lidl Vertriebs GmbH & Co. KG that the Defects Bremerhaven and the cause for the Defects Bremerhaven have been removed (such declaration the “Bremerhaven Declaration”), the Buyers are entitled to retain a partial amount of EUR 100.000 (Euro one hundred thousand) out of the Preliminary Purchase Price for any claims against the Seller under this Clause 14.5. The retained amount shall immediately be paid to the Seller without undue delay as soon as (i) the Buyers have received the Bremerhaven Declaration and (ii) no other claims of the Buyers against the Seller under this Clause 14.5 remain unsatisfied.

14.5.5 If the Buyers have not received the Bremerhaven Declaration by the end of a six (6) months period from Closing, the Seller shall not longer be entitled or obliged to perform the works required to remove the Defects Bremerhaven and the cause for the Defects Bremerhaven, but the Buyer shall be entitled to instruct Company 2 to commission the required works. Any costs for such works shall be set-off against the amount retained pursuant to Clause 14.5.4, and any remainder of the retained amount (if any) shall be paid out the Seller without undue delay once (i) all said costs are paid and (ii) no other claims of the Buyers against the Seller under this Clause 14.5 remain unsatisfied.

14.5.6 For the avoidance of doubt: If the retained amount pursuant to Clause 14.5.4 is insufficient to cover all claims of the Buyers against the Seller under this Clause 14.5 the Seller remain liable for the excess amount (i.e. the retained amount is a collateral, but no liability cap).

14.5.7 The Buyers shall not be entitled to set-off any other claims under or in connection with this Agreement (i.e. other than claims pursuant to this Clause 14.5) against the Seller’s claim for payment of the retained amount pursuant to this Clause 14.5.4.

19.2 Amendments and supplements to this Agreement as well as the waiver of any rights under this Agreement shall be in written form in order to be valid unless a stricter form is required. This also applies to any amendment to, or cancellation of, the written form clause.

19.3 All disputes between the Parties arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or regarding its validity are finally decided by an arbitration tribunal comprising three (3) persons in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the German Institution for Arbitration (Deutsche Institution für Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit e.V.) without recourse to the ordinary courts. The place for arbitration proceedings is Frankfurt am Main. The language for arbitration proceedings is English.

19.4 The place of exclusive jurisdiction for all judicial acts relating to arbitration proceedings in accordance with section 1062 para 1 no 1 to 4 Civil Procedure Code (Zivilpro-zessordnung) is Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

19.5 If the Buyers (or one of them) file(s) for arbitration in accordance with Clauses 19.3 / 19.4 above within 15 months after the Closing Date concerning a claim of the Buyers under this Agreement, including for breach of a Warranty or a claim under Annex 10, the following shall apply:

19.5.1 The Parties shall instruct the Companies

(a) not to make any further payments to the Seller and/or its Affiliates concerning distribution of profits or interest under the then existing

- 36 -

shareholder or intercompany loans, and the Sellers shall not be entitled to such payments, up to the amount of the claim filed by the Buyer(s) for arbitration or any lower amount specified by the Buyer(s),

(b) to keep such amount in escrow as a collateral for the claim raised by the Buyer(s), and

(c) only to pay out such amount to the Buyer(s) and/or Seller, as the case may be, in accordance with any final decision of the arbitration tribunal or final settlement of the arbitration proceedings.

19.5.2 If and to the extent that the filing by the Buyer(s) for arbitration proves to be unjustified pursuant to the final decision of the arbitration tribunal, the respective Buyer(s) shall pay damages to the Seller including interest in the amount of 8% p.a. on the amount payable to the Seller pursuant to Clause 19.5.1(c). The interest shall be owed on an p.a. basis on the amount payable to the Seller pursuant to Clause 19.5.1(c) as from the day the respective money could have been paid out to the Seller had the Buyer(s) not filed for arbitration until the day of payment by the Company to the Seller. Payment of interest shall be due together with the payment by the Company to the Seller pursuant to Clause 19.5.1(c).

19.5.3 The Seller shall ensure that, if the Buyers (or one of them) file(s) for arbitration in accordance with Clauses 19.3 / 19.4 and until a final decision of the arbitration tribunal has been made or the arbitration proceedings have been finally settled, none of the shareholder or intercompany loans of the Seller and/or its Affiliates are being terminated by the Seller and/or it Affiliates. This is to ensure that the interest of such loans is available to the Buyers under Clause 19.5.1. If sentence 1 is not observed, the Parties shall instruct the Companies to not make any repayments of principal to the respective lender until a final decision of the arbitration tribunal has been made or the arbitration proceedings have been finally settled, and the Seller shall indemnify the Companies against any claims of the Seller’s respective Affiliate for earlier repayment.

19.6.1 The Seller shall pledge its shares in the Companies not sold to the Buyers in accordance to Clause 3.4(e) and provide the guarantee of Global Income Trust, Inc. in accordance with Clause 3.4(a)(iv).

This security shall secure all claims of the Sellers under this Agreement, including for breach of a Warranty or a claim under Annex 10, and shall be limited in time until expiration of a period of 15 months after the Closing Date.

Global Income Trust, Inc. may, at any time and at its option, release itself from its guarantee obligations under the guarantee in accordance with Clause 3.4(a)(iv) if a corresponding guarantee by CNL Financial Group, LLC will be provided to the Sellers instead.

19.6.2 Following the expiration of a period of 15 months after the Closing Date, the share pledge in accordance with Clause 3.4(e) shall secure no other claims of the Buyers than claims under Annex 10 and claims based on the incorrectness of Warranties under Clauses 7.1 and 7.4 only. The share pledge shall be released after and limited in time until expiration of a period of 5 years after the Closing Date.

19.7 This Agreement is governed by German law and is to be interpreted exclusively consistent with the laws and usage of terminology of German law.

19.8 Should a provision of this Agreement be or become null and void as a whole or in part, or should a gap in this Agreement become evident, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. In such case, such valid and practicable regulation shall be agreed that in legal and economic terms comes closest to what the Parties intended or would have intended in accordance with the purpose of this Agreement if they had considered the point at the time of entering into this Agreement. If the nullity of a provision is due to a degree of performance or time (period or deadline) laid down in this provision, then the provision shall be agreed with a legally permissible degree that comes closest to the original degree. It is the express intention of the Par-ties that this severability clause shall not merely reverse the burden of proof but that section 139 BGB is contracted out as a whole, which means that this Agreement is upheld despite there being a void provision or a gap

ANNEX 10 - TAX

1. The terms “Taxes” and “Tax” comprise all taxes in the meaning of section 3 German General Tax Code (Abgabenordnung) including tax deduction amounts, prepayments of taxes, tax liability amounts, tax ancillary payments and fines and equivalent taxes and similar items in other jurisdictions (in particular Luxembourg) imposed by any governmental authority (“Taxing Authority”).

2. Tax Representations

The Seller represents to the Buyer that

2.1 all Tax returns, declarations and returns required to be filed by the Companies with any Taxing Authority that are due by the Closing Date have been timely and completely filed, or will be filed until the Closing Date, taking into consideration any extensions of filing deadlines granted; and

2.2 the Companies have timely paid or retained or paid over all Taxes due until the Closing Date in each case in full or will do so until the Closing Date; and

2.3 the Companies are not party to any judicial proceedings (“Rechtsbeheifsverfahren”) including Tax court proceedings against Tax assessments or other administrative acts; and

2.4 subject to Seller’s Knowledge, no investigation measures (“Ermittlungsverfahren”) relating to Taxes have been initiated against the Companies; and

2.5 subject to Seller’s Knowledge, the Companies do not have a permanent establishment or a permanent representative outside of the country in which the Target Companies are registered (in particular not in Germany); and

2.6 with respect to the Companies, no holding or watching periods according to Section 5 para. 3 German Real Estate Transfer Tax Act (GrEStG), Section 22 German Reorganisation Tax Act (UmwStG) or Section 6 para. 5 German Income Tax Act (EStG) that have commenced prior to the Closing Date are still relevant after the Closing Date.

3. Tax Indemnification

3.1 The Seller will indemnify the Buyer against Tax payments of the Buyer and/or the Companies against any Tax or infringements of the Tax Representations as set out in 2. above (“Tax Disadvantage”) relating to the Companies and to tax periods before (and including) the Closing Date. However, the indemnification will be excluded if and to the extent:

3.1.1 The tax assessment affects Taxes is not based on facts for periods ending on or before the Closing Date. The term “periods” in this context (as well as in clause 3.6) does not mean “fiscal period” in the meaning of German tax law;

3.1.2 the total sum of the Tax Disadvantages does not exceed the total sum of the tax liabilities and reserves shown in the Final Closing Date Accounts for the respective Company;

3.1.3 (i) a Tax Disadvantage leads to a reduction of profit in another period (Phasenverschiebung) or (ii) a Tax Disadvantage is compensated by a corresponding lower tax basis of the affected Companies with any other Tax for the same period. This mechanism is universally applicable to all types of Taxes. Prospective compensations in the meaning of this mechanism for Tax Disadvantages shall only be considered at net present value (nominal amount of future compensation discounted at a rate of 5.5%).

3.2 In respect to potential correction of input VAT in the meaning of section 15a VAT Act arising after Closing compensation in the amount of 94.9% of such correction of input VAT has to be made by the Sellers to the Buyer, if (i) the input VAT adjustments relate to input VAT refunded before Closing and (ii) the correction is based on facts and circumstances given prior to the Closing Date.

3.3 The compensation for Tax Disadvantages or other compensations pursuant to this Clause 3 is paid to the Buyer or, if the Buyer so desires, to the respective Company. The payment is due ten (10) Business Days before the Company’s tax·debt falls due, but at the earliest thirty (30) Business Days afternotification of the Seller by the Buyer about the precise amount payable and the date on which it is due, to which verifiable documents and in particular a copy of the Tax assessment notice and a representation of the liabilities and reserves shown in the balance sheet, and other data relevant to the claim, are attached.

3.4 The Buyers’ claims pursuant to Clause 3 statute-barred - to the extent that they are based on a Tax assessment notice, Tax liability notice (Haftungsbescheid) or declaratory assessment notice (Feststellungsbescheid) - in each case six (6) months beginning with the unappealability of the respective notice (“formelle Bestandskraft”). Otherwise, they become statute-barred two (2) years after the claims arises. Prescription takes place irrespective of the Buyers knowledge of the claims.

3.5 Any claims and rights of the Buyer in relation to Taxes extending beyond the claims provided for in this Clause are excluded.

3.6 The Buyer must ensure that

3.6.1 the Seller is informed about the initiation of Tax audits by the Taxing Authorities for periods until the Closing Date, and that they are given the opportunity to participate in such audits and their procedures;

3.6.2 the Companies inform the Seller without undue delay, at the latest within ten (10) Business Days, of Tax assessments which could lead to claims against the Seller, attaching the relevant copies;

3.6.3 at the reasonable request and expense of the Seller, the Company lodges appeals against subsequent Tax demand notices which affect periods until the Closing Date and conduct reasonable legal disputes by taking into account the Sellers instructions;

3.6.4 the Companies will take any action reasonable and necessary to minimize Tax Disadvantages (e.g. by negotiations, legal remedies, legal disputes, etc.) based on the Sellers’ reasonable instruction. The Buyer ensures that the Seller receive all documents and further information necessary to exercise its rights;

3.6.5 the Companies make available to the Seller copies of all the documents which in the Buyers’ reasonable view are relevant to the Sellers’ rights and duties out of this Clause or for the Sellers’ own Tax interests, and inform the Seller about the progress in the production of the declarations, assessments and proceedings and all contacts with Taxing Authorities, and

3.6.6 the Company does not destroy any documents relevant for tax purposes either before all possible claims by the Buyer against the Seller pursuant to this Clause have become statute-barred, or before the expiry of the tax obligation to keep records.

3.7 The Buyer takes responsibility for the following payments to the Seller and for informing him without undue delay about the facts and circumstances connected with them:

3.7.1 If the Companies receive Tax reimbursements for periods up to and until the Closing Date, the Buyer must make a compensation payment to the Seller in the amount of 94.9% of such Tax reimbursement if and to the extent such Tax reimbursement exceeds all Tax receivables included or taken into account in the Closing Date Accounts.

3.7.2 If it turns out on the basis of a Tax assessment, in the course of the production of the Tax declaration or otherwise according to sensible business judgment that a Tax reserve which has been formed is higher

than the actual requirement, the Buyer will reimburse the Seller for 94.9% of the amount of the difference.

3.7.3 The payment must be made without undue delay, at the latest on the thirtieth Business Day after the Buyer or the affected Company gain knowledge of the circumstances which lead to the payment obligation.

3.7.4 The Sellers claims under this Clause 3.7 become time-barred three months after the Buyer informed the Seller of the relevant claim of the Sellers have gained knowledge about claim otherwise.

3.8 Clause 9.2 and 9.4 applies accordingly to any claims under this Clause 3.
