From the Effective Date, each Party agrees to hold all  Confidential Information in strict confidence and to not use or disclose it to any entity or  individual for any purpose other than as set forth in this Agreement, without the prior written  consent of the Disclosing Party. Recipient shall obligate its employees or agents who have or  shall receive any part of the Confidential Information to not use or disclose it except as permitted  herein. Upon written notice from the Disclosing Party, or upon the termination of this Agreement,  all copies of the Confidential Information shall be returned to the Disclosing Party or  destroyed/deleted within ten (10) days of such request; provided, however, that Recipient shall  have the right to maintain one archived copy for its records and defense of claims and litigation  and Recipient may destroy any archival copies upon its scheduled destruction procedures in  accordance with its retention schedule. If the Disclosing Party elects to have the Confidential  Information destroyed/deleted, Recipient shall certify the destruction/deletion of same within the  time period set forth in this Section.

In the event a court order or governmental regulation requires the Recipient to disclose all or part  of the Confidential Information, Recipient shall give the Disclosing Party prior written notice of  the scope of the anticipated disclosure so as to enable the Disclosing Party to undertake all  reasonable efforts to have such court or governmental agency maintain the secrecy and  confidentiality of the Confidential Information. In addition to other remedies, each Party  acknowledges that monetary damages may be insufficient for any breach of this Section, and a  Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive and equitable relief as a  remedy if a material breach of this Section is established. The Parties’ obligations under this  confidentiality provision shall continue for a period of two (2) years after the expiration or  termination of this Agreement.  26. Publicity. Notwithstanding the above Confidentiality provisions, Seller understands that  Buyer’s parent company is a publicly-traded company and may need to publicly disclose this  Agreement and certain of its provisions.

(b) Adjustment of the purchase price. If, after Closing, any payment is made by  Seller to Buyer or by Buyer to Seller pursuant to this Agreement, other than the payment of the  Purchase Price or the payment of interest pursuant to Section 33(c), such payment shall be  deemed an adjustment of the Purchase Price equal to any such amount.  (c) Interest. If any Party defaults in the payment when due of any amount payable  under or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, the liability of that Party will be increased  to include interest on that amount from the date when such payment is due (inclusive) under or  otherwise in connection with this Agreement until the date of actual payment (exclusive) at an  interest rate of 2% per annum.  34. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and  construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Netherlands, without giving effect to any  choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the Netherlands or any other jurisdiction).  Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the  transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in the Amsterdam District Court and each  Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court in any such suit, action or  proceeding. Service of process, summons, notice or other document by mail to such Party's  address set forth herein shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or other  proceeding brought in such court. The Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any  objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or any proceeding in such court and  irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim in such court that any such suit, action or  proceeding brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Receivables Purchase Agreement

 (d) No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on

exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exhaustive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. 

(e) Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts (and by different parties on separate
