	1.1
	The Company is a limited partnership under German law (Kommanditgesellschaft) with a registered capital contribution and a fixed capital amount according to the capital account (fixed capital) of EUR 100.00, respectively.

	Hafteinlage in EUR / 
Capital Contribution in EUR

	 
	100,00

	 
	 

	 
	All of the Seller’s limited partner’s interest in the Company will be hereinafter collectively referred to as „Partner’s Interest”.

	 
	 

	 
	The sole general partner of the Company is the Former General Partner who does not participate in the capital of the Company except for the Former General Partner’s shareholder loans mentioned hereinafter. 

	 
	 

	 
	The Former General Partner provides to the Company project-related (subordinated) shareholder loans based on the template attached hereto as Attachment 1.2(b) to the following extent:

	 
	·	PV-Facilities "Bantikow" in the amount of EUR 144.068,00 ( "GSD Bantikow" );

		(together the GSD Bantikow, the GSD Dossow, the GSD Bellstedt Abstbessingen, the GSD Bellstedt Hartmund, the GSD Werkstatt Rockstedt, the GSD Werkstatt Abstbessingen and the GSD Renzow are referred to as the “Former General Partner’s Shareholder Loans”).

 
	 
	5
	
 
	 

    
	1.3 
	The Company is entitled under 7 (seven) different Usage Agreements to use specific roof areas for the construction, commissioning and operation of roof-top photovoltaic facilities („PV-Facilities “) pursuant to the description in Attachment 1.3 (“Usage Agreements”). 

	 
	 

	1.4
	The Buyer will incorporate a special purpose company with the purpose to directly or indirectly holding and/or operate PV solar farms in Germany under the legal form of a limited liability company under German Law.

	 
	 

	 
	The Buyer shall have the right to set up a Limited Partner (“NewCo”) under German Law, to which it is entitled under this Agreement to transfer all of its rights and obligations hereunder, to purchase the PV-Facilities subject to, and in accordance with, this Agreement, as soon as possible but in any case, prior to the transfer of ownership interest in the respective PV-Facilities from Seller to Buyer and when the NewCo has been set-up and registered, the parties will transfer any rights arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and this Agreement to the NewCo and the NewCo shall assume any obligations of the Buyer resulting out of or in connection with this Agreement. Likewise NewCo shall as debtor step into all agreements entered into in consummation of this Agreement with the Seller and/or the Former General Partner (such as e.g. the Escrow Agreement, commercial register applications as further described in Section 4.2.5 and 4.2.6). Any such transfer and assignment of rights and step-in shall be perfected prior to the EEG-Commissioning of the first PV-Facility. If the transfer, assignment and step-in has not been perfected before the occurrence of EEG-Commissioning of the first PV-Facility, it requires the prior written approval of the Seller and the Former General Partner.

	 
	 

	1.5
	 In the context of the signing of this Agreement the Company will conclude an EPC contract („EPC Contract”) with Energie Nuove S.r.l. with its business seat in Via Reno 35 CAP 00198 Rome (Italy) (“Developer”) based on the draft attached hereto as Attachment 1.5 (“Construction Agreement”), under which the Developer will erect and commission and transfer to the Company the PV-Facilities on a turn-key basis

	 
	 

	1.6
	The key metrics and terms set out ,in the final EPC Contract and Operation & Maintenance contracts included as Attachments hereto, must not deviate from the Binding Term Sheet signed 27.09.17 and must be in line with Industry standards. (The English Version of these contracts will be the correct document of reference while the German Version of these Contracts is for courtesy use only).

	 
	 

	1.7
	 The Buyer intends to purchase the Partners’ Interests pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement while the Seller intends to sell and assign the Partner’s Interests to the Buyer. An acquisition of the shares in the Former General Partner by the Buyer is not subject of this Agreement and this is not intended by the Parties. The Former General Partner shall leave the Company immediately after New General Partner has entered the Company as further set forth in this Agreement.

	 
	 

	1.8
	Buyer and the Former General Partner concluded a so-called “Binding Term Sheet” with respect to the transaction on 27.09.17. It is attached hereto as Attachment 1.7. The Parties are aware of the fact that subsequent to the conclusion of the Binding Term Sheet the negotiations were continued without this being an implicit extension of the exclusivity or without another obligation of the Parties deriving from it regarding the PV-Facilities. Additionally, the Parties hereto agree and acknowledge that the PSM 60 GmbH & Co. KG referenced in the Binding Term Sheet is no longer the target of the transaction contemplated under the “Binding TermSheet”, the April SPA and this Agreement, but the target is rather the Company (i.e. PSM 20 GmbH & Co. KG).

		On 4.04.2018 the Buyer, the Former General Partner, the Company and Mr. Salvatore Cammilleri, born 19 August 1965, resident at “Im Bollerts 11, 64646 Heppenheim” entered into a Purchase and Transfer Agreement in relation to the sale, transfer and assignment of the Partner ́s Interest from Mr. Salvatore Cammilleri (“Former SPA”) attached hereto as Attachment 1.7.a

	 
	 

	 
	The Parties hereby wish to fully replace and restate the Former SPA by means of this Agreement.

	1.9
	The Buyer is familiar with projects of this kind and has extensive experience in the acquisition and operation of PV-Facilities. He has conducted an extensive technical, tax, legal and financial Due Diligence based on the information provided in the electronic data room on or before the transfer of ownership of each PV-Facility. The Buyer has not yet had the opportunity to examine and assess in detail the documents provided in the electronic data room (these documents are attached hereto on a DVD as Attachment 1.8, the “Data Room Documents”).

	The Seller guarantees by way of an independent warranty within the meaning of Sec. 311 BGB and specified in Sec. 5 and Sec. 6 of this Agreement, which are integral parts of this warranty, and which define the content and scope of the obligation established by the warranty within the meaning of Sec. 276 para. 1 sentence 1 BGB that the particulars and statements under Sec. 5.2 through Sec. 5.3 („Warranties “) are correct and complete on Signing Day and the Closing Day and, if such Warranties are granted at Signing Day, only at Signing Day. For the avoidance of doubt, it is agreed that the Warranties are not deemed as agreements of quality within the meaning of Sec. 434 para. 1 BGB nor as guarantees of quality within the meaning of Sec. 443, 444 BGB.

	 
	 

	5.1.2 
	The content and scope of each Warranty and the legal consequences of an incorrectness of a Warranty shall be exclusively defined by the provisions of this Agreement. Any other claims by the Buyer regarding incorrectness of Warranties against the Seller (as well as any limitation to the Seller’s liability), not explicitly mentioned in this Agreement, are excluded, irrespective of their legal nature and origin. This particularly applies to the Buyer’s claims of specific performance (Sec. 437 and Sec. 439 BGB), reduction (Sec. 437 no. 2, Sec. 441 BGB), withdrawal (Sec. 437 no. 2, Sec. 440 BGB), rescission on the grounds of mistake (Sec. 119, 120 BGB), adaption due to interference with the basis of the transaction (Sec. 313 BGB) and faults arising during conclusion of the Agreement (Sec. 311 para. 2, Sec. 280 para. 2 BGB). The Buyer’s claims due to gross negligence, malicious acts or intentional deception by the Seller remain unaffected.

	 
	 

	5.2 
	Legal Matters of the Company

	 
	 

	5.2.1 
	Capital contributions (both registered capital contribution and fixed capital amount) to the Partner’s Interest have been paid in full, any repayments or withdrawals will be disclosed to the Buyer in the relevant section of the Data Room Documents, who agrees to take over the currently balanced losses carried forward and the clearing accounts; furthermore, the capital contributions have not been paid back (publically or disclosed).

	 
	 

	5.2.2 
	The Partner’s Interest has been issued validly. The Seller is the unconditional legal and commercial holder of the respective Partner’s Interest and the Seller is able to dispose of it without any restrictions, except for the pre-emptive right of the Former General Partner according to Sec.11 para. 2 of the Company’s Partnership Agreement. The Partner’s Interest is not burdened by any third party rights, subject to the burden of Sec. 7.6.

	 
	 

	5.2.3 
	The Company does not hold other participations in other companies and did not do so in the past either. The Company is not obliged to acquire participations in other companies.

	 
	 

	5.2.4 
	There are no silent partnerships or other participatory rights regarding the Company’s profit or equity and no entitlements to obtain such participations or rights. The Former General Partner explicitly confirms that no such rights or claims according to sentence 1, exist. For avoidance of doubt: The Former General Partner’s shareholder loans and the repayment claim of the Former General Partner’s shareholder loans are not deemed claims according to Sec. 5.2.4.

	 5.2.5 
	Attachment 5.2.5 contains the Company’s current Partnership Agreement.

		 

	5.2.6 
	The Company has no liabilities except as set out in the Data Room and is not over-indebted or unable to pay current obligations, and there are no facts or circumstances that require the Company to file for the initiation of insolvency proceedings. The initiation of insolvency proceedings or similar proceedings has never been requested, neither by the Company itself, nor, to the Best Knowledge of the Seller, by a third party. The Company has never been subject of an insolvency proceeding or liquidation. The Company has no liabilities except as set out in the relevant section of the Data Room Documents.

	 
	 

	5.3 
	Operational Matters of the Company

	 
	 

	5.3.1 
	The Company does not own further substantial assets except for the respective PV-Facilities that become the Company’s property on the day of acceptancein accordance with the EPC Contract and has no further business activities except for the (planned) operation of the PV-Facilities. The Company has lawfully obtained and holds all the permits, licenses, authorisations and agreements (however named) which are necessary for the construction, connection to the grid, commercial exploitation and maintenance of the PV-Facilities for a 20 year period.
The Company has always been managed in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations.

	 
	 

	5.3.2 
	The Company does not own any real estate, except for the use rights secured through the agreements included in the relevant section of the Data Room Documents, which are sufficient for the construction, connection to the grid, commercial exploitation and maintenance of the PV-Facilities for a 20 year period.

	 
	 

	5.3.3 
	The Company does not currently employ and has never employed any employees (salaried, freelance or other) and there is no person who can claim anything against the Company on the basis of any current or past work relationship (however qualified).

	 
	 

	5.3.4 
	All information supplied or disclosed in the electronic data room to the Buyer and/or its advisers by the Seller and/or its advisers prior to Signing Day (Attachment 1.8) are, to the Best Knowledge of the Seller, substantially showing the complete business activity of the Company. To the Best Knowledge of the Seller, no details or information which the Buyer should know about on the Signing Day in order to evaluate the Company and the Partner’s Interest as well as the Purchase Price and the capital contribution obligation (Sec.7.3), or in general the conditions and prospects of the Company, have been concealed or otherwise omitted.

	 
	 

	5.3.5 
	On the Signing Day, there are no disputes or other judicial, arbitral or regulatory proceedings including (preliminary) proceedings by public prosecution (“Legal Disputes”) in which the Company or its bodies are either directly or indirectly involved or which could, in some other manner, lead to a liability or other obligation (including by way of a third party recourse), nor are there any Legal Disputes pending, nor to the Best Knowledge of the Seller, instituted or threatened. 

	 
	 

	5.4 
	The documents and information provided by the Seller in Attachment 1.8 correspond with the latest state of the project development of the PV-Facilities and, to the Best Knowledge of the Seller, do not contain any misleading information.

	6 
	Liability of the Seller

	 
	 

	6.1 
	If one of the Warranties provided in Sec. 5 is incorrect in whole or part, the Seller has to compensate the Buyer for damages to be paid in cash in accordance with this Sec. 6. The Buyer will inform the Seller promptly after becoming aware of the breach of any warranty or any other obligation by written declaration, which shall name the act of infringement and the estimated amount of damage (“Demand of Damages”).

	 
	 

	6.2 
	The Buyer shall have no claim against the Seller from or in the context of Sec. 5, 6 and 7 of this Agreement (i.e. those claims do not exist) if and to the extent

	 
	 

	6.2.1 
	the damages of the Buyer are covered by claims against third parties, including insurances, or by claims of the Company against third parties, including claims arising from the EPC Contract related to the Warranty case based on which the Buyer pursues its claim if according payments have been received by the Company or the Buyer. If the damages are covered by claims against third parties, the Buyer has to pursue the claim extrajudicial vis-à-vis the third party and substantiate that the third party completely or partially declined the claim before the Buyer may pursue an admissible claim against the Seller;

	 
	 

	6.2.2 
	if the Seller places the Buyer in such position as the Buyer would have been in, if the Warranty had been correct within a reasonable period of time after the receipt of the Demand of Damages (in any case not exceeding 40 days); 

	 
	 

	6.2.3 
	the Buyer or the Company benefits from the damaging event, or

	 
	 

	6.2.4 
	the liability of the Seller arising out of the facts of the case related to the Due Diligence was disclosed in a way that the Buyer had knowledge of the liability claim or did not have this knowledge due to gross negligence, or 

	 
	 

	 6.2.5 
	the damage of the Buyer or of the Company is caused by contributory negligence by the Buyer in accordance with Sec. 254 BGB; for avoidance of doubt: the limitation of liability in favour of the Seller applies only as far as the substantiated contributory negligence of the Buyer.

	 
	 

	6.3 
	The liability of the Seller for breaches of Warranties according to Sec. 5.2 is altogether limited to the amount of financial contributions by the Buyer according to Sec. 7.3 (EUR 961.187,92); likewise the liability of the Seller arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and irrespective of its legal grounds is altogether limited to the amount of financial contributions by the Buyer according to Sec. 7.3 (EUR 961.187,92) (“Liability Cap”). 

	 
	 

	6.4 
	[Intentionally left blank].

	 
	 

	6.5 
	Liability limits (including the Liability Cap) do not apply for gross negligence, fraudulent intent and wilful misconduct and not for events which relate to fatalities, physical injuries or damage to health. 

	 
	14
	
 
	 

 
	6.6 
	The claims of the Buyer in accordance with Sec. 5, 6, 7.1 and 7.2 can only be asserted, if there is a guarantee claim or a claim and the individual claim or the amount of the individual claims which are based on the same facts of the case or on the same misconduct does or do not exceed the amount of EUR 5.000,00 (“Relevant Claim”) and the sum of Relevant Claims does not exceed the amount of EUR 10.000,00. For avoidance of doubt: If claims exceed the amount of EUR 5.000,00, the whole claim can be asserted from the first Euro (provided that there are collectively claims of more than EUR 10,000.00).

	 
	 

	6.7 
	For the calculation of damages Sec. 249 et seq. BGB are applicable, whereby possible depreciations of the Company, consequential damages and indirect damages (especially: loss of profit, opportunity costs and internal costs and expenses/disbursals for the Company or the Buyer) are not included. Possible multiples or IRR-calculations which are decisive for the evaluation of the Company are not to be taken into account for the calculation of damages. For avoidance of doubt: lost feed-in remunerations according to the EPC Contract, deducting direct marketing costs, are not deemed consequential damages according to Sec. 6, if and to the extent those are caused by the Warranty case in accordance with Sec. 5, and are therefore indemnifiable by the Seller. 

	 
	 

	6.8 
	The Parties and the Developer have agreed on a uniform liability system in terms of risk mitigation for the Seller and the Developer. Thus, it is agreed upon that the Seller is only liable for Warranty claims under this Agreement (except for the Warranties in Sec. 5.2), if and to the extent those are not already satisfied by the warranty terms in the EPC Contract (there Sec.12) (no double dip). Furthermore, it is the common understanding that the Liability Cap and the maximum amount mentioned in Sec. 12 of the EPC Contract are not cumulative but rather the total liability amount according to Sec. 6.5 is available once in total and both for claims of the Company arising from the EPC Contract and for claims of the Buyer arising from this Agreement. Hence a satisfied claim under the EPC Contract reduces the Liability Cap; and vice versa, a satisfied claim under this Agreement reduces the maximum amount mentioned in Sec. 12 of the EPC Contract. The Liability Cap reduces in accordance with the reduced enterprise value if a PV-Facility is not transferred until the Longstop-Date and an adjustment is made to the remuneration according to the EPC Contract.

	 
	 

	6.9 
	Claims of the Buyer under Sec. 5.2 of this Agreement are time barred upon expiration of a period of 5 (five) years after the Closing Day. All other claims of the Buyer under this Agreement are time barred upon expiration of a period of 2 (two) years after the Closing Day unless expressly stipulated otherwise under this Agreement. Sec. 203 BGB is expressly excluded.

	 
	 

	6.10 
	If any third party asserts a claim against the Company which may result in any liability for the inaccuracy of any Warranty, the Buyer shall grant the Seller the opportunity to participate in the defence. The Buyer shall instruct the Company to conduct the defence against the third party claim in accordance with the instructions of the Seller at its own costs; in particular, a lawyer or law firm, appointed by the Seller, is to be assigned. In no event shall the Buyer permit such third party claim to be acknowledged or settled without the Seller’s prior consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Buyer will provide to the Seller and its representatives all documents and information necessary for the support and defence. If the Buyer does not meet its obligations under this Sec. 6.11, the Buyer is excluded with claims arising from the respective breach of Warranty unless it proves that the defence remains intact despite the default. 

	 
	 

	6.11 
	Payments of the Seller in accordance with Sec. 6 are to be considered in the relationship between Buyer and (the) Seller as a reduction of the Purchase Price.

	 
	 

	 
	15
	
 
	 

 
	7 
	Indemnifications; Further Obligations of the Parties

	 
	 

	7.1 
	Indemnification re Former Liabilities. The Seller will indemnify the Buyer, as the case may be, for these obligations and any and all costs and damages arising in connection with such obligations to the extent that after the Due Date the Buyer will be held liable for former liabilities of the Company; “Former Liabilities” within the meaning of this provision are any and all obligations of the Company vis-á-vis the Parties or any (public or private) third party, irrespective of their reason, already due or not, conditional or unconditional, which have been completely reasoned before the Due Date (i.e. the claim came into existence on or before the Due Date), except for those obligations arising under or in connection with this Agreement or of disclosed agreements within the scope of the Due Diligence in accordance with Sec. 5.3.4 and 6.3.4, especially but not limited to the usage agreements, loan agreement, the EPC Contract, the insurance policies, direct marketing agreements for the PV-Facilities and other agreements that are directly connected to the erection and commissioning of the PV-Facilities (e.g. grid connection agreement - if required) and further provided that the Former Liabilities cannot be settled by means of the funds being made available under the Loan Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt: Former Liabilities also include such obligations that are to be discharged by the Developer under the EPC Contract. The aforementioned indemnity claim shall not become time-barred within three (3) months after the Buyer has been held liable or has been informed about the (alleged) claims against the Company in written form, but in any event they become time barred after the expiration of a period of two (2) years after Closing Day.

	 
	 

	7.2 
	The New General Partner holds the Former General Partner and the Seller harmless against the costs and damages of all claims (especially against the run-off liability in accordance with or on the basis of Sec. 160 HGB) regarding such obligations concerning which the facts of the case completely occurred after the replacement of the general partner (Sec. 7.4) (i.e. the claim existed).

	 
	 

	 7.3
	Equity Contribution and Shareholder Loans. The Company has received a finance confirmation relating to the project finance from the Sparkasse Leipzig and has concluded on [●] 2017 a loan agreement (attached as Attachment 7.3(a)) (the “Loan Agreement”)..

	 
	 

	 
	The Buyer shall be obliged vis-à-vis the Seller and the Company, to contribute equity to the Company up to an amount of EUR 961,187,92 in total (the “Obligation to contribute Equity”). The Obligation to contribute is calculated on a PV-Facility by PV-Facility basis, i.e. individual contribution amounts being fixed for each PV-Facility as further specified in Attachment 7.3 (b) (each such individual amount an “Individual Contribution Amount”).

	 
	 

	 
	To fulfil its Obligation to contribute Equity, the Buyer will, subject to the occurrence of Closing, enter with the Company into its own subordinated Shareholder Loans with the Company substantially in the form as attached hereto as Attachment 7.3 (the “Buyer’s Shareholder Loans”). For mere clarification purposes: If and to the extent a disbursement is made under a Buyer’s Shareholder Loan, such disbursement will be considered as discharging the Buyer in the same amount from its Obligation to contribute Equity.

	 
	 

	 
	The Buyer’s Shareholder Loans shall be disbursed and become payable to as follows:

 
	 
	16
	
 
	 

 
	 
	In relation to the (first) six (6) PV-Facilities:

	 
	 
	 
	 

	 
	·	fifty percent (50%) of the relevant loan amount (such amount corresponding to fifty percent (50%) of the Individual Contribution Amount) is to be paid to the Company

	 
	 
	 
	 

	 
		-
	once EEG-Commissioning for the relevant PV-Facility has been achieved; and
	 
	 
	 
	 

	 
		-
	the Seller has submitted to the Buyer the EEG Commissioning Certificate.
	 
	 
	 
	 

	 
	·	fifty percent (50%) of the relevant loan amount (such amount corresponding to fifty percent (50%) of the Individual Contribution Amount) is to be paid to the Company

	 
	 
	 
	 

	 
		- 
	once the relevant PV-Facility is connected to the power grid; and
	 
	 
	 
	 

	 
		-
	the Seller has submitted to the Buyer the Grid Connection Confirmation.
	 
	 
	 
	 

	 
	In relation to the seventh (7th) (and final) PV-Facility:
	 
	 
	 
	 

	 
	·	one hundred percent (100%) of the relevant loan amount (such amount corresponding to hundred percent (100%) of the Individual Contribution Amount) is to be paid to the Company

	 
	 
	 
	 

	 
		-
	once all seven (7) PV-Facilities are connected to the power grid; and
	 
	 
	 
	 

	 
		- 
	the Seller has submitted to the Buyer the Grid Connection Confirmation.
	 
	 
	 
	 

	 
	In any event, the Buyer is deemed to be discharged from its obligation to disburse the Buyer’s Shareholder Loans to the Company (and/or from its Obligation to contribute Equity), if and to the extent disbursement of amounts under the Escrow Agreement have been effected to the benefit of the Former General Partner (i.e. if and to the extent an Individual Contribution Amount has been paid to the Former General Partner pursuant to the Escrow Agreement the payment such amount shall to such extent be considered in lieu of the Buyer’s obligation to disburse the Buyer’s Shareholder Loan (and/or its Obligation to contribute Equity) and discharge the Buyer from these obligations.
	 
	 
	 
	 

	 
	The Buyer indemnifies the Seller and the Former General Partner and the Company from all claims arising from or in connection with the Former General Partner’s Shareholder Loans which were replaced by the Buyer and/or claims arising out of or in connection with the Buyer’s Shareholder Loans without prejudice to the regulation in Section.

	7.5 
	The Seller has a claim against the Company from the EPC Contract for reassignment of the usage agreements for those PV-Facilities regarding which the commissioning in accordance with the EPC Contract cannot be achieved until 28.11.2018 (“Longstop-Date”) as specified in the EPC Contract. The Buyer is obligated to ensure that the usage agreements for those PV-Facilities regarding which the commissioning cannot be achieved in accordance with the EPC Contract until the Longstop-Date will be reassigned by the company within a time period of four (4) weeks to the Seller or a third party named by the Seller.

	8.2 
	In addition, the Parties are obliged to provide each other with any information and to participate in all transactions and legal acts that are necessary to execute this Agreement. The Seller and the Former General Partner are obliged and undertake to provide the Buyer with any and all information on company matters upon the Buyer’s request, provided however that it has consideration for the operational processes of the Company. The Seller and the Former General Partner ensure that the Buyer and/or their commissioned third parties have the opportunity to participate at appointments (e.g. acceptance of performance) for the construction of the PV-Facilities and are informed about it in due time in writing (or in the form of text). The Former General Partner is obligated to hand over to the Buyer and/or (at the Buyer’s option) the New General Partner any and all business documentation of the Company (especially, but not limited to, contractual documents, human resources documentation and all the accounts related documents), unless statutory archiving obligations have not already expired and such documentation is not yet within the Company’s or the New General Partner’s possession on the day of the exchange of the general partner (Sec. 7.4).

	 
	 

	8.3 
	The Seller and the Former General Partner ensure that the business is carried forward according to the ordinary rules of business conduct and essentially in the same way with the objective of the commissioning and transfer of the PV-Facilities in accordance with the EPC Contract until effective date of the in rem transfer of the Partner’s Interest to the Buyer or until the end of the day on which the New General Partner enters the Company and the Former General partner exits. The Seller and the Former General Partner also ensure that subject to statutory regulations the following measures will be forborne without prior agreement or instruction by the Buyer (at least in the form of text) within the aforementioned time periods (the “Covenants”):

	The Buyer is obligated to give its consent to activities beyond the ordinary course of business if and to the extent the measure promotes the commissioning of the PV-Facilities according to the EPC Contract until the Longstop-Date and/or ensures the current business and if any additional costs arising from it are covered to the maximum amount of the construction costs (including the financing costs) and the current operation costs in the EPC Contract, i.e. do not lead to additional costs for the Buyer if the Buyer does not give its consent.

	 
	 

	 
	Sec. 6.3, 6.4 to 6.12 apply accordingly for clarification purposes.

	 
	 

	 
	The Former General Partner and the Buyer will enter into a side letter agreement on the basis of which the managing director of the General Partner will undertake to comply with the Covenants set forth in this Agreement.

	 
	 

	18.4
