	2	General Provisions 

  

	2.1	Form and Name of the Company 

  

	 	2.1.1 	Subject to the conditions precedent set forth in Clause 9, the Parties hereby agree to subscribe for or purchase Shares in the Company for the purposes and with the scope,
restrictions and limitations set forth herein. 

  

	 	2.1.2 	The Company is incorporated and organized in the form of a “besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid” / “société
privée à responsabilité limitée”, which form shall not be changed without the express prior approval of each Party. 

  

	 	2.1.3 	The name of the Company is “Second Shurgard”. 

  

	2.2	Capital Requirements of the Company 

  
 The total capital requirement (the “Capital Requirement”) for the Company will be about EUR 240 million. This represents an estimate of
the cost of land, construction cost, development fee and initial pre-operating losses (including any capitalised interest) for about 40 centres which will be owned and developed by the Company through its Special Purpose Vehicles. Of the
Company’s total capital needs, about 38%, representing EUR 92 million, are to be funded through capital contributions by the Parties (the “Equity”). An additional EUR 8 million are to be funded by the Parties in accordance with
Clause 4.5. Any remaining amounts of the Company’s capital needs will be funded through the Credit Facility to be obtained by the Company or any of its Affiliates. 
  

	2.3	Capital Commitments  

  

	 	2.3.1 	Capital Commitments of Shurgard 

  
 The total commitment of Shurgard under this Agreement for the incorporation of the Company, the contribution of Special Purpose Vehicles to the Company
and/or the contribution in cash to the Company is EUR 20 million (the “Shurgard Equity 

  

 12 

 
Commitment”). This Shurgard Equity Commitment is divided into two tranches, i.e., the “Shurgard Tranche 1” and the
“Shurgard Tranche 2”: 
  

	 	(i)	without prejudice to the conditions precedent set out in Clause 9, the Shurgard Tranche 1 amounting to EUR 12.5 million is fully and irrevocably committed by Shurgard (subject to
the Company entering into the Credit Facility) and will be made available to the Company in accordance with Clauses 2, 3 and 4 and until the Capital of the Company reaches EUR 62.5 million. 

  

	 	(ii)	the Shurgard Tranche 2 amounting to an additional EUR 7.5 million is committed in principle but will only be made available to the Company if Luxco has not decided to opt out of the
Luxco Tranche 2 as set out in Clause 2.3.3, in which case the Shurgard Tranche 2 will be made available to the Company in accordance with Clause 4, provided that EUR 1.6 million of the Shurgard Tranche 2 will only be made available to the Company in
accordance with Clause 4.5. In addition, upon the expiration of the time period provided for in Clause 2.3.3 in connection with Luxco’s right to opt out of the Luxco Tranche 2 without Luxco having exercised such right, the Parties shall cause
the Company or any of its Affiliates to pay to Shurgard the Debt Raising Fee 2. 

  

	 	2.3.2 	Capital Commitments of Luxco 

  
 The total commitment of Luxco under this Agreement for the acquisition of Class B Shares from Shurgard pursuant to Clauses 3.2 and 4.2 and, as the case
may be, for the contribution in cash pursuant to Clauses 3.1.1 and 4.3 (excluding any additional payments to be made to Shurgard pursuant to this Agreement or the Management Agreements) is EUR 80 million (the “Luxco Equity
Commitment”). This Luxco Equity Commitment is divided into two tranches, i.e., the “Luxco Tranche 1” and the “Luxco Tranche 2”: 
  

	 	(i)	without prejudice to the conditions precedent set out in Clause 9, the Luxco Tranche 1 amounting to EUR 50 million is fully and irrevocably committed by Luxco (subject to the
Company entering into the Credit Facility) and will be made available to Shurgard or - if Clause 3.1.1 and/or Clause 4.3 applies—the Company in accordance with Clauses 3 and 4 and until the Capital of the Company reaches EUR 62.5 million.

  

	 	(ii)	the Luxco Tranche 2 amounting to an additional EUR 30 million is committed in principle but will only be made available to Shurgard or - if Clause 4.3 applies - to the Company if
Luxco has not decided to opt out of the Luxco Tranche 2 as set out in Clause 2.3.3, in which case the Luxco Tranche 2 will be made available to Shurgard or - if Clause 4.3 applies - the Company in accordance with Clause 4, provided that EUR 6.4
million of the Luxco Tranche 2 will only be made available to the Company in accordance with Clause 4.5. In addition, upon the expiration of the time period provided for in Clause 2.3.3 in connection with Luxco’s right to opt out of the Luxco
Tranche 2 without Luxco having exercised such right, the Parties shall cause the Company or any of its Affiliates to pay to Shurgard the Debt Raising Fee 2. 

  

 13 

	 	2.3.3 	Opt-Out 

  
 Luxco has the right to opt out of the Luxco Tranche 2, with no penalty, cost or obligation, by sending to Shurgard a written notice substantially in the
form attached hereto as Schedule 2.3.3 prior to 1 June 2004 or within 75 days after the Closing Date, whichever date comes the latest. 
  
 In case Luxco exercises this right to opt-out, neither Luxco nor Shurgard shall have the obligation to fund the Luxco Tranche 2 or the Shurgard Tranche 2
respectively. 
  

	 	2.3.4 	Timing 

  
 The Equity shall be drawn by the Company through capital contributions by the Parties as set out herein over a period of about 36 months after Closing, it
being understood that most of the investments will be made during the first 18 months after Closing. Drawdown of the Equity will be undertaken in accordance with Clauses 3 and 4, it being understood that both Parties acknowledge and agree that the
drawdown will be conducted on an as needed basis. 
  

	2.4	Capital Deployment 

  

	 	2.4.1 	The commitments of Shurgard to contribute SPV Shares or cash (to fund new developments) to the Company and sell Class B Shares to Luxco pursuant to Clauses 3 and 4 and the
commitments of Luxco to purchase Class B Shares from Shurgard or to contribute cash (to fund new developments) to the Company pursuant to Clauses 3 and 4 will terminate if either of the following events occurs: 

  

	 	(i)	The Capital of the Company has been increased to EUR 92 million (such amount to be increased, as the case may be, by any amounts contributed to the Capital of the Company pursuant
to sections (i) and/or (iii) of Clause 4.5), notwithstanding that fewer than 40 Properties are at that date owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company; or 

  

	 	(ii)	The Company owns, directly or indirectly, 40 Properties, in which event, if the Capital of the Company is at that date less than EUR 92 million (such amount to be increased, as the
case may be, by any amounts contributed to the Capital of the Company pursuant to sections (i) and/or (iii) of Clause 4.5), more Properties may only be acquired by the Company by mutual agreement of the Parties. 

  

	 	2.4.2 	If by 31 December 2005 the Company has acquired directly or indirectly, fewer than 40 Properties and the Capital of the Company has not been increased to EUR 92 million (such
amount to be increased, as the case may be, by any amounts contributed to the Capital of the Company pursuant to sections (i) and/or (iii) of Clause 4.5), then Luxco has the right to require that the commitments of the Parties under Clause 4 be
extended until the earlier of: 

  

	 	(i)	the Company acquiring directly or indirectly 40 Properties; 

  

	 	(ii)	the Capital of the Company being increased to EUR 92 million (such amount to be increased, as the case may be, by any amounts contributed to the Capital of the Company pursuant to
sections (i) and/or (iii) of Clause 4.5); and 

  

	 	(iii)	30 June 2006. 

  

 14 

 Luxco shall notify Shurgard of its decision to extend the commitments of the Parties under this Clause
not later than 31 December 2005. 
  
 For the purposes of
calculating the amount of the Capital of the Company under this Clause 2.4, any cash shortfalls anticipated after the opening of Properties that have already been contributed will be considered in calculating whether the Capital of the Company has
reached EUR 92 million (such amount to be increased, as the case may be, by any amounts contributed to the Capital of the Company pursuant to sections (i) and/or (iii) of Clause 4.5). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that unallocated capital
is not sufficient for the full development of an additional Property, no additional Property may be contributed. 
  

	 	2.4.3 	In the event that Luxco has not notified its decision to extend the commitments of the Parties pursuant to Clause 2.4.2, these commitments may only be extended by mutual
agreement of the Parties. 

  

	2.5	Capital and Classes of Shares 

  

	 	2.5.1	 The Capital of the Company will be represented by registered shares having no par value. 

  

	 	2.5.2	 The Shares will be divided into Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares. At all times, Class A Shares and Class C Shares shall represent in the aggregate 20% of the
Capital of the Company and Class B Shares shall represent in the aggregate 80% of the Capital of the Company. 

  

	 	2.5.3	 Class A Shares and Class B Shares will be voting shares and Class C Shares will be non voting shares. 

  

	 	2.5.4	 Class A Shares and Class B Shares will be treated pari passu. Class C Shares, being non-voting Shares, will have certain additional rights.

storage facilities forming part of Shurgard’s development pipeline for 2004 and 2005 in France, Germany, The Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and the United Kingdom, to operate such facilities for use by members of the public (including corporate

 Subject to Clause 5.5.3, except in the cases where the law or the Articles of Association provide more stringent provisions, decisions by the
shareholders’ meeting of the Company are taken by the majority of votes in each class of voting shares taking part at the voting, irrespective of the number of voting shares present at the meeting.

Schedule 4.1.1(ii). 

  

	 	4.1.2 	The Properties consist of branded Shurgard self-service storage centres in development or rent up in six markets, namely France, Germany, The Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and

contribution will be subject to the prior written approval of Luxco, it being understood that an approval by e-mail shall constitute effective written approval for this purpose. After contribution to the Company, such companies and their underlying
properties will be subject to the same provisions of this Agreement as, respectively, the Special Purpose Vehicles and the Properties. 

  

 18

	 	4.1.8 	Luxco hereby irrevocably undertakes to vote in favour of the capital increases made pursuant to this Clause 4 and to waive any pre-emptive rights (“droit de
préference” / “voorkeurrecht”) it may have in this respect. 

  

	4.2	Acquisitions of Class B Shares by Luxco after Closing 

  

	 	4.2.1 	Luxco hereby irrevocably undertakes to purchase from Shurgard and Shurgard hereby irrevocably undertakes to sell to Luxco, free of any liens, pledges or encumbrances, all
Class B Shares issued to Shurgard pursuant to Clause 4.1, as follows: 

  

	 	(i)	Not less than 15 Business Days prior to the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting approving the relevant capital increase, Shurgard shall send to Luxco a written notice
substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 4.2.1(i) (the “Contribution Notice”). This notice shall contain a description of the Special Purpose Vehicles (or subsidiaries of Shurgard pursuant to Clause 4.1.5) of
which shares will be contributed to the Company and the draft report from the Manager and the auditor of the Company as required by the legal provisions applicable to capital contributions in kind. 

  
 Not more than one such capital increase shall take place during any
calendar month. 
  

	 	(ii)	Within 5 Business Days after the capital increase, Shurgard shall provide Luxco with a share purchase agreement substantially in the form attached as Schedule 3.2 signed in
three originals by an authorised representative of Shurgard and confirmation from the notary that the capital increase has effectively taken place (the “Payment Notice”). The Payment Notice shall be substantially in the form
attached as Schedule 4.2.1(ii). 

  

	 	(iii)	Within 5 Business Days of the Payment Notice, Luxco shall provide Shurgard with two originals of the share purchase agreement (one for Shurgard and one to be kept in the share
register of the Company), signed by an authorised representative of Luxco and pay the purchase price of the relevant Shares set forth in the share purchase agreement to Shurgard by transfer into the account number mentioned in the Payment Notice.
The ownership of the Shares shall be transferred to Luxco on the date of receipt by Shurgard of the purchase price. 

  

	 	(iv)	The price of the Class B Shares to be paid by Luxco will be equal to 80% of the total value of the capital increase in the Company. 

  

 19 

	 	(v)	The transfer shall be recorded and signed in the share register of the Company by Shurgard and an attorney in fact appointed by Luxco in the share purchase agreement on the date of
receipt by Shurgard of the purchase price or as soon as practicable thereafter. 

  

	 	(vi)	After each such acquisition by Luxco of Class B Shares, the latter will hold 80% of all Shares and Shurgard will hold 20% of all Shares. 

  

	 	4.2.2 	If Luxco fails to comply with its obligation to pay the purchase price of the Class B Shares as provided in Clause 4.2.1(iii), Shurgard shall send a formal notice to Luxco
(the “Formal Notice”) on or after the date of expiration of the payment due date requesting this payment within 5 Business Days from the receipt of the Formal Notice (the “Extended Payment Due Date”). If Luxco still
fails to pay the purchase price of the Class B Shares on the Extended Payment Due Date, all rights attached to Shares already held by Luxco shall be automatically suspended. 

  
 Without prejudice to the other sanctions mentioned herein, if Luxco still
fails to comply with its obligation to pay the purchase price of the Class B Shares within thirty (30) Business Days (the “Period”) after the Extended Payment Due Date, Shurgard shall have the right to purchase (the
“Purchase Option”) all or part of the Shares already held by Luxco for a price equal to the amount paid by Luxco for such Shares. To be valid, the Purchase Option must be exercised not later than three months after the Extended
Payment Due Date. Notwithstanding the exercise of the Purchase Option, Luxco remains liable for the future payment of any outstanding amount of its Luxco Equity Commitment as defined in Clause 4.2.3. Luxco shall sell and transfer its Shares to
Shurgard within 15 days after Shurgard has notified to Luxco its intention to exercise the Purchase Option. Shurgard shall pay the purchase price to Luxco at the closing of such sale. Furthermore, Luxco shall be liable to the Company for interest on
the late payment accruing at a rate equal to 10 % from the Extended Payment Due Date until such payment is made (“ Default Interest”). 
  
 Without prejudice to the sanctions mentioned in the previous paragraphs, if Luxco fails to comply with its obligation to pay the purchase price of the
Class B Shares within the period provided in Clause 4.2.1(iii), Shurgard will be discharged from its obligations under Clause 11.1. 
  

	 	4.2.3 	The total commitment of Luxco for the acquisition of Class B Shares from Shurgard pursuant to Clauses 3.2 and 4.2 and, as the case may be, for the contribution in cash
pursuant to Clauses 3.1.1 and 4.3 (excluding any additional payments to be made to Shurgard pursuant to this Agreement or the Management Agreements) is EUR 80 million (the “Luxco Equity Commitment”). This Luxco Equity Commitment is
divided into two tranches, i.e., the “Luxco Tranche 1” and the “Luxco Tranche 2” as set out in Clause 2.3.2. 

  

	 	4.2.4 	Without prejudice to the sanctions mentioned in the previous Clauses, if Luxco fails to comply with its obligation to pay the purchase price of the Class B Shares within the
period of five Business Days provided in Clause 4.2.1(iii) or, as the case may be, to contribute cash in the Company pursuant to Clause 4.3, the following rules will apply: 

  

	 	(i)	Luxco shall pay to Shurgard an indemnity (“dommages et intérêts” / “schadevergoeding”) in a lump sum amount of EUR 5,000,000.

  

 20 

	 	(ii)	Clause 4.2.4(i) shall not apply if Luxco has purchased the Class B Shares and made payment to Shurgard pursuant to Clauses 3.2 and 4.2.1(iii) and, as the case may be, contributed
cash in the Company pursuant to Clauses 3.1.1 and 4.3, for a total amount of not less than EUR 50 million. 

  

	 	4.2.5 	If additional capital is required for the development of the Company, the Parties shall mutually agree as to the source of such capital, giving consideration to the
availability of third-party loans, loans from the Parties, and additional capital contributions. 

  

	 	4.2.6 	No interest shall accrue on any contribution to the capital of the Company. No Party shall have the right to withdraw, or to be repaid, any capital contributed by it, except
as specifically provided in this Agreement. 

  

	 	4.2.7 	Except as set forth in this Agreement or in the Credit Facility, no Party has any obligation to make any capital contributions or to extend any loans to the Company.

  

	4.3	Capital Contribution in Cash 

  

	 	4.3.1 	Shurgard shall always have the right to request Luxco to pay all or part of its Luxco Equity Commitment through a contribution in cash in the Company. Such request shall be
made by sending a notice to Luxco substantially in the form attached as Schedule 4.3.1. In such a case, 20% of any such capital increase in cash will be subscribed and paid up by Shurgard and the remaining 80% by Luxco. Class A Shares will be
issued to Shurgard and Class B Shares will be issued to Luxco in consideration thereof. 

  

	 	4.3.2 	If Luxco fails to comply with any request to pay all or part of its Luxco Equity Commitment through a contribution in cash to the Company pursuant to Clause 4.3.1, Shurgard
shall send a formal notice (the “Formal Notice”) on or after the date of expiration of the payment due date requesting this payment within five Business Days from the receipt of the Formal Notice (the “Extended Payment Due
Date”). If Luxco still fails to pay the cash contribution on the Extended Payment Due Date then the provisions of Clauses 4.2.2 and 4.2.4 shall apply. 

  

	4.4	Credit Facility 

  

	 	4.4.1 	The Company shall use its best efforts to secure a development loan from the Lenders for an amount which, in aggregate, shall not be lower than 62.5% nor higher than 70% of
the Direct Development Costs (the “Credit Facility”). If a higher amount of debt is made available by the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, the Equity in the Company shall be decreased proportionally, pari passu with the Shares
provided that the Parties shall always use best efforts to ensure that the leverage ratio for the Company, as defined by Debt:Equity, does not exceed 70:30 at any time. 

  

	 	4.4.2 	The Company shall not enter into the Credit Facility unless the terms thereof are mutually agreeable to each of the Parties. Both Parties agree that the terms set forward in
the sample financing term sheet attached as Schedule 4.4.2 are generally acceptable and shall use their best efforts to ensure that the Credit Facility is entered into on substantially similar terms. In the event that Luxco exercises its
right to opt out of the Luxco Tranche 2 as set out in Clause 2.3.3, Shurgard shall not be obliged to contribute any further properties and Luxco shall not be obliged to contribute any further funding. 

  

 21 

	 	4.4.3 	Due Diligence 

  
 The Parties will cooperate and take all reasonable actions to comply with any due diligence process required by the Lenders and to obtain the closing of
the Credit Facility. 
  

	4.5	Additional funding requirements 

  
 Parties agree that, subject to the non-exercise by Luxco of its right to opt out of the Luxco Tranche 2 as set out in Clause 2.3.3, an amount of EUR 8
million, consisting of EUR 1.6 million of the Shurgard Tranche 2 and EUR 6.4 million of the Luxco Tranche 2, will only be made available to the Company or, under paragraph (ii) of this Clause, to the Company or any of its Affiliates, for the
following purpose and under the following conditions: 
  

	 	(i)	In case the Parties agree to fund the acquisition and/or the development of a certain Property by the Company solely through capital contributions by the Parties (and therefore not
– partially – through funds drawn under the Credit Facility), an amount of up to EUR 8 million (less any amounts previously made available to and not reimbursed by the Company in accordance with sections (ii) and/or (iii) of this Clause
4.5) will be made available by the Parties to the Company in accordance with Clauses 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3. 

  

	 	(ii)	In case the Parties agree that the Company or any of its Affiliates requires a working capital facility to provide for the short term working capital needs in the development phase
of the Company or such Affiliate, a working capital facility of an amount to be agreed between Parties but in no event exceeding EUR 8 million (less any amounts previously made available to the Company or its Affiliates in accordance with sections
(i) and/or (iii) of this Clause 4.5) will be made available by the Parties to the Company or its Affiliates, in the form of loans provided under a working capital facility agreement, in a form to be agreed by the Parties. Any indebtedness of the
Company or its Affiliates under such working capital facility agreement shall be subordinated to the Credit Facility, under the terms of a subordination agreement with the Lenders, as envisaged in the sample financing term sheet attached as
Schedule 4.4.2. 

  

	 	(iii)	In case of a Default (as defined in the Credit Facility) of the Company under the Credit Facility, each Party shall subscribe for and fully pay up in cash a capital increase of the
Company in an amount of up to EUR 8 million (less any amounts previously made available to and not reimbursed by the Company in accordance with sections (i) and/or (ii) of this Clause 4.5), subject to terms and conditions to be mutually agreed upon
between the Parties, it being understood that for any amount to be paid up pursuant to this Clause 4.5(iii), 20% will be paid up by Shurgard and 80% will be paid up by Luxco. In the case of such a capital increase, all Shares to be issued to
Shurgard will be Class A Shares and all Shares to be issued to Luxco will be Class B Shares.

Agreements”). 

  

	 	5.4.2 	In this capacity, Shurgard (or a related company designated by Shurgard) shall also manage the subsidiaries of the Company. The Management Agreements, providing Shurgard (or
a related company designated by Shurgard) the exclusive long-term right to manage the Company, its subsidiaries and the underlying properties, are a material inducement to Shurgard entering into this Agreement. The Management Agreements shall
survive, without modification, the sale or the, direct or indirect, transfer by the Company of its subsidiaries or the underlying properties, or the sale of the Shares of the Company or any change in control of the Company, subject to the
termination provisions of the Management Agreements.

appointed. 

  

	5.5	Competence of the Manager 

  

	 	5.5.1 	The Manager shall have the full power and authority to manage the business of the Company. It is vested with the power to perform all acts necessary or useful for the
realisation of the corporate purpose of the Company and has the power to do all things which are not expressly reserved by law or by the Articles of Association to the shareholders’ meeting of the Company. The business of the Company shall be
conducted in accordance with this Agreement and the Management Agreements and with the policies, decisions, guidelines and budgets made or approved by the Parties through their respective Designated Representatives. 

  

	 	5.5.2 	Decisions relating to the following items, shall require the prior approval of the majority of votes within each class of Class A and Class B Shares:

  

	 	(i)	The approval of Credit Facility, or a change to the Credit Facility or a refinancing; 

  

 24 

	 	(ii)	Any change to the structure or legal entity form of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; however, subject to Clause 5.2.3, Luxco hereby undertakes to agree to changes proposed by
Shurgard if so required to preserve SSCI’s continued qualification as a REIT, provided such change does not have a material adverse effect on the Company or Luxco will be indemnified and held harmless for such material adverse effect on the
Company; 

  

	 	(iii)	The addition of new shareholders (except pursuant to Clause 13.8); 

  

	 	(iv)	Any changes to the Management Agreements; however, Luxco hereby undertakes to agree on any changes to the Management Agreements proposed by Shurgard if so required to preserve
SSCI’s continued qualification as a REIT subject to Clause 5.2.3;

Manager; in case of such termination, no Party nor the Manager will be entitled to any indemnification from the other Party or will have the right to buy or sell the Shares or the Assets (as defined in Clause 13.1.1) from or to the other Party;

  

	 	(vi)	Any change to the pre-agreed Investment and Operating Criteria; 

  

	 	(vii)	Approval of any investment in a company which owns a property that deviates substantially from the pre-agreed Investment and Operating Criteria; 

  

	 	(viii)	An extension of the scope of the Company, involving more properties and/or capital than provided in this Agreement; 

  

	 	(ix)	The sale of any interest in a subsidiary of the Company (except pursuant to Clauses 12 and 13);

	 	(xiii)	The hedging policy of the Company.

Management Agreements in the case of fraud, gross negligence, wilful misconduct or material breach on the part of Shurgard on the terms and as provided in the Management Agreements. Notwithstanding Clause 2.12, such a termination shall only require
a majority of 80% of all voting Shares of the Company, no majority being required in each class of voting shares. In addition, notwithstanding the general powers of the Manager to execute resolutions of the shareholders’ meeting and in view of
the conflict of interest of Shurgard in this respect in its capacity as Manager of the Company, such resolution adopted by the shareholders’ meeting 

  

 25 

	 	 
with the appropriate majority, shall be executed on behalf and for the account of the Company by a third party, appointed for this purpose by the
Shareholders in accordance with article 260 of the Companies Code, deciding with a majority of 80% of all voting Shares of the Company. 

  

	 	5.5.4 	For the purposes of Clause 5.5.2(x), an expenditure is deemed to be extraordinary if it has not been provided for in the Preliminary Plan and Budget or in the Annual Plan and
Budget. In addition, the part of an expenditure in excess of the amount provided for in the Preliminary Plan and Budget or in the Annual Plan and Budget will also be considered as an extraordinary expenditure. Examples of extraordinary expenditures
are unplanned marketing activities, additional operational expenses generated because of external factors (such as traffic conditions in front of a store), insurance costs in excess of the amount provided for in the Preliminary Plan and Budget or in
the Annual Plan and Budget.

this Agreement, including disbursing Company funds in accordance with such decisions, and to take such other actions on behalf of the Company as it deems necessary and advisable to implement such decisions, including executing in the name of and
behalf of the Company all agreements, consents, certificates and other documents reasonably necessary or advisable to implement such decisions. 
  

	5.8	Company Expenses 

  

	 	5.8.1 	Subject to the limitations of Clause 5.8.3, the Company shall pay and be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Company or its
subsidiaries. To the extent practicable, all Company expenses shall be billed directly to and paid by the Company. If, however, acting within the scope of such Party’s authority as granted by this Agreement, a Party should incur any of those
expenses, the Company shall promptly reimburse such Party for such expenses upon receipt of satisfactory evidence of such payment. 

  

	 	5.8.2 	By way of illustration, and not in limitation upon the scope of Clause 5.8.1, the Company shall pay the following costs and expenses: 

  

	 	(i)	All notarial, state and local filing or similar expenses incurred by the Parties in connection with the formation of the Company or acquisitions made by the Company or its
subsidiaries, such as transfer taxes; 

  

	 	(ii)	All costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Shurgard in accordance with the Management Agreements that are allocable to and are to be borne by the Company or its subsidiaries
pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreements; and 

  

	 	(iii)	 The actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by a Party for goods, materials and services used for or by the Company or its subsidiaries, provided any such services
performed by a Party must be approved in advance by the 

  

 26 

	 	 
Company as part of the Annual Plan and Budget, the project proforma or otherwise to be eligible for reimbursement. 

  

	 	5.8.3 	Except as expressly provided for herein or in the Management Agreements or as hereafter approved by the Parties, no payment will be made to any Party for the services of such
Party or of any member, director, officer or employee of such Party rendered in connection with the business or affairs of the Company or its subsidiaries. 

  

	5.9	Directors’ and officers’ insurance 

  
 The Parties shall cause the Company to enter into appropriate directors liability insurance covering the liability of the managers, directors and officers
of the Company and its subsidiaries. 
  

	5.10	Financial Information and Accounting 

  
 The Company shall supply each Party with financial information at the same time as it is provided to those entities that are party to the Management
Agreements.

 The Parties shall keep or cause to be kept complete and accurate books and records reflecting all financial activities of the Company. The books and

such Party’s expense, at any and all reasonable times.

	5.14	Liquidators 

  
 In the event of a liquidation of the Company, the Parties agree to vote at the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting of the Company appointing the
liquidators of the Company in such a way that a representative of each Shurgard and Luxco is appointed as liquidator of the Company. 
  

	6	Distribution of Annual Cash Flow 

  

	6.1	Principles 

  
 Subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Facility and the applicable legal and tax restrictions, Distributable Cash Flow of the Company shall be
distributed on a quarterly basis in the form of dividends or advances on dividends as follows: 
  

	 	6.1.1 	by preference to the Class C Shareholder for a total annual amount equal to 1% of the Capital of the Company represented by the Class C Shares; and 

 

 27 

	 	6.1.2 	the balance, if any, to the Class A Shareholder, Class B Shareholder and Class C Shareholders prorata to the number of Shares they hold in the Company.

  
 As the purpose of the Company is to, directly
or indirectly through its subsidiaries, develop and own during the pre-stabilisation phase self-service storage centres, Distributable Cash Flow is expected to be limited, occurring only once a sufficient numbers of centres have reached break-even.

  

	6.2	Investment of Distributable Cash Flow 

  
 Distributable Cash Flow which has not been distributed pursuant to Clause 6.1 should be used in such way as is mutually acceptable to the Parties. The
Parties will consider reimbursing outstanding debt, investment in Shari’ah compliant investments or interest bearing accounts, and will jointly select the most appropriate and economical use. 
  

	7	Shari’ah Compliance 

  

	7.1	Criteria 

  

	 	7.1.1	The Shari’ah compliance obligations of the Company will be limited to the obligation for the Company to use best efforts to be Shari’ah compliant as described in a
limitative way in Clause 7.1.2. 

  

	 	7.1.2	Shurgard acknowledges that in order to be Shari’ah compliant, the Company should not enter into a lease contract with a corporate entity which is engaged in the
distribution of liquor, pork products, gambling equipment or pornography as a significant portion of its business if it intends to use the space being leased to store such prohibited goods. Luxco acknowledges that in the normal course of business,
Shurgard is generally not aware of what tenants may be storing in the self-service storage facilities owned or operated by the Company. 

  

	 	7.1.3	To the extent either Party finds that income from such tenants was received by the Company and distributed to the Parties, the Parties will donate the net income from such
tenant to a charity to be jointly selected by the Parties. 

  

	7.2	Compliance Determination 

  
 The Parties agree that Luxco will determine the Company’s compliance with Shari’ah on an ongoing basis. Any costs associated with the monitoring
for Shari’ah compliance shall be paid by Luxco and subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations and applicable legislation.

	8.5	Updating Representations at Closing 

  
 The above representations and warranties are made on the date of this Agreement, except for the representation and warranty made in Clause 8.4.5, which is
made on the Closing Date. In addition, each Party warrants to each other that the above representations made by such Party shall be true and accurate on the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the representations and warranties in Clauses
8.2.3 to 8.2.32 inclusive only apply in respect of the Special Purpose Vehicles and underlying Properties contributed to the Company at Closing under Clause 3.1, and subject to the provisions of the Development Agreement. 
  

	8.6	Indemnification 

  

	 	8.6.1 	 All Parties hereby agree to indemnify and keep indemnified the other Party from and against all demands, claims, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses
whatsoever (including reasonable legal expenses, together with value added and similar taxes thereon (if applicable)), incurred by the other Party or any of the Special Purpose Vehicles in connection with a breach of the representations and
warranties set out in Clause 8 and in the event of any dispute arising in relation thereto, the provisions of Clause 17.11 shall apply. In order to compute the damages, only the 

  

 33 

	 	 
net cost for the Company or Special Purpose Vehicles (on an after tax basis) shall be taken into account. 

  

	 	8.6.2 	If the same event, matter or circumstances can give rise to a claim under several provisions of Clause 8, the Parties shall only be indemnified once.

  

	 	8.6.3 	For the purposes of this Clause 8, any damage incurred by the Company or one of its subsidiaries in connection with any breach of the representations and warranties of this
Clause 8 shall be deemed to be incurred by the Parties in proportion to the percentage of Shares held by the respective Party in the Company. 

  

	 	8.6.4 	The breaching Party under Clause 8 shall have no obligation to indemnify the other Party in respect of any claim for a breach of the representations and warranties of Clause
8 unless a notification is given to the breaching Party by the other Party within a period of three months after the other Party became aware of such breach, provided that such notification is received by the breaching Party (i) within a period of
24 months following the Closing Date or (ii) prior to an exit by any Party pursuant to Clause 13, whichever comes first. Notwithstanding the above, the representations and warranties of Clauses 8.2.14 and 8.2.26 to 8.2.28 will only expire in the
event of an exit by any of the Parties pursuant to Clause 13, without prejudice to the obligation of Luxco to notify any such breach within a period of 3 months after becoming aware thereof. 

  

	 	8.6.5 	Neither Party shall have any obligation to indemnify the other Party in respect of any claim under this Clause 8 arising from any single claim unless the amount which would
otherwise be recoverable under this Agreement in respect of all claims in aggregate exceeds EUR 100,000. When the threshold of EUR 100,000 is met, the relevant Party shall be entitled to recover the total amount of any such claim subject to a
maximum aggregate amount equal to EUR 80,000,000. For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of EUR 80,000,000 is the maximum amount of the aggregate liability of each Party under this Agreement and all other agreements referred herein.

  

	 	8.6.6 	Neither Party shall have any obligation to indemnify the other Party in respect of any claim under this Clause 8 if and to the extent that the damages in respect of which the
claim is made: 

  

	 	(i)	are covered by an insurance policy; or 

  

	 	(ii)	are recovered from any other third party. 

  
 Accordingly, any amount for which a Party would otherwise have been liable under this Clause 8 shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds,
indemnification or other recovery that the Company or the relevant Party received from any insurance company or any other third party in respect of the damage which is the subject matter of the claim. 
  

	 	8.6.7	A Party shall have no obligation to indemnify the other Party in respect of any liability under this Clause 8 which is contingent (“obligation conditionnelle ou
éventuelle” / “voorwaardelijke of latente verbintenis”) unless and until such contingent liability becomes an actual liability and is due and payable.

(i) an investment in another self-service storage company active in Europe if such company only became active in Europe after such investment has been made, provided that this investment will not specifically fund the activities in Europe, or (ii)

comply with this injunction, Luxco shall be liable to Shurgard to pay an indemnity (“dommages et intérêts” / “schadevergoeding”) to be determined by the arbitral tribunal appointed pursuant to Clause
17.11, taking into account the direct and indirect damages suffered by Shurgard as a result from such violation and the fact that Shurgard attributes great importance to the restrictions set out in this Clause 11.1. The above provisions of this
Clause 11.1.4 shall apply similarly if Luxco becomes aware of any infringement of the provisions of this Clause 11.1 by Shurgard. 

  

	 	11.1.5 	Luxco and Shurgard acknowledge that the provisions of this Clause 11.1 are reasonable and necessary to protect their legitimate interests. However, if any of the provisions

	 	(iv)	Shurgard shall treat as strictly confidential and not disclose or use any information relating to the business and financial affairs (including future plans and targets) of Luxco
and its Affiliated Companies. 

  

 39

	 	(i)	the disclosure or use is necessary in order to allow any Party or any of its Affiliated Companies to comply with any legal requirements to make any announcement or to provide
information to any public authority or stock exchange; 

  

	 	(ii)	the disclosure or use is required for the purposes of any judicial or arbitration proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement; 

  

	 	(iii)	the disclosure is made to professional advisers of any Party or its Affiliated Companies, who are subject to adequate professional confidentiality rules; 

 

	 	(iv)	the information is or becomes publicly available (other than as a result of any breach of this Agreement); 

  

	 	(v)	the information becomes available to the Party bound by this Clause 11.2 from a source which is not bound by any obligation of confidentiality in relation to such information (as
can be demonstrated by such Party’s written records and other reasonable evidence); or 

  

	 	(vi)	the other Party has given prior written approval to the disclosure or use. 

  

	 	11.2.4 	Clauses 11.2.1 and 11.2.2 shall not prohibit: 

  

	 	(i)	SSCI from disclosing any information to the public financial markets (including financial analysts) in accordance with the ordinary current practice of SSCI;

  

	 	(ii)	Luxco from providing information to potential investors in CaymanCo in order to carry out its syndication pursuant to Clause 12.3, subject to the obtaining of satisfactory
confidentiality commitments from such investors. 

  

	 	11.2.5 	The Parties shall take all necessary actions to ensure that no accidental or unauthorised disclosure of the contents of this Agreement occurs. 

  

	 	11.2.6 	Luxco guarantees and procures that it, as well as its relevant Affiliated Companies, will take all required actions so that any investor in CaymanCo will be bound by the
above obligations of this Clause 11.2 as of the dates it invests in CaymanCo and until such time as it ceases to be an investor in CaymanCo. Shurgard is the sole beneficiary of this obligation of the investors. 

  

	11.3	Investors Information 

  

	 	11.3.1 	 Luxco warrants and shall certify to Shurgard and will provide sufficient information including the identity of investors to enable Shurgard during the term
of this Agreement to confirm that at all times none of the investors in CaymanCo (i) is a Competitor of Shurgard, (ii) is mentioned on any governmental or regulatory restricted list or subject to economic sanctions including lists maintained by the
Office of Foreign Asset Control of the U.S. Department of Treasury, or (iii) is prohibited from investing in US financial institutions pursuant to the Patriot Act or the other laws described in Clause 12.3.8 below. Luxco acknowledges that Shurgard
may be subject to applicable laws (similar to those described in Clause 12.3.8 below adopted in the US or other countries) as they may change from time to time. In the event that such laws apply to this transaction, Shurgard shall notify 

  

 40 

	 	 
Luxco, in writing, of the applicable requirements and Luxco shall use its best efforts to provide the information required by applicable law.

  

	 	11.3.2 	Shurgard and the Company shall be permitted and authorised, with prior notice to (unless prohibited by applicable law), permission from (unless prohibited by applicable law)
and subsequent report to Luxco (unless prohibited by applicable law), to disclose and provide any confidential information in response to any governmental inquiry or reporting obligation regarding Luxco, CaymanCo and its investors.

  

	11.4	Sanctions 

  

	 	11.4.1 	Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, in the case of an infringement by Luxco or any of its Affiliated Companies of any provisions of Clause 11.2, Luxco
shall be liable to Shurgard for an indemnity (“dommages et intérêts” / “schadevergoeding”) in a lump sum amount of EUR 500,000. The above sanctions will apply similarly in case of an infringement by
Shurgard or any of its Affiliated Companies of any provisions of Clause 11.2. 

  

	 	11.4.2 	If Shurgard becomes aware of any infringement of the provisions of Clause 11.3 by Luxco or any of its Affiliated Companies, Shurgard shall give a notice to Luxco enjoining it
to cease - or to procure to cease - any such infringement and to return to full compliance with the provisions of this Clause 11.3 within fifteen days of such notice. In case of failure by Luxco or any of its Affiliated Companies to comply with this
injunction, Luxco shall pay to Shurgard an indemnity (“dommages et intérêts” / “schadevergoeding”) to be determined by the arbitral tribunal appointed pursuant to Clause 17.11, taking into account the
direct and indirect damages suffered by Shurgard as a result from such violation and the fact that Shurgard attributes great importance to the restrictions set out in this Clause 11.3. 

  

	11.5	Obligation for Shurgard to re-acquire certain Properties 

  
 If the Company or its subsidiaries have acquired one or more Properties which do not meet the requirements for debt funding as set out in the Credit
Agreement, Shurgard undertakes to purchase such Properties from the Company or its subsidiaries at cost at the first request thereto from the Company. 
  

	11.6	Payment of the Facility Management Fee 

  
 The Parties shall cause the Company or any of its Affiliates to pay an amount of EUR 250,000 to Shurgard at Closing (see Clause 10.4.3(vi)) (the
“Facility Management Fee”) as consideration for the management of the Credit Facility. 
  

	12	Sale, Assignment or Transfer of Company Interests 

  

	12.1	Prohibited Transfers 

  

	 	12.1.1 	Except as specifically permitted in this Clause 12 or in Clause 13 or otherwise agreed between the Parties, no Party may sell, assign, contribute, transfer, pledge, encumber,
or grant a lien or security interest in, or make a gift of (any such transaction, including any merger with or any split-up into, another legal entity, being generically referred to as a “transfer” in this Agreement and the verb
“transfer” being construed accordingly) all or any part of its Shares in the Company. 

  

	 	12.1.2 	Any such transfer prohibited by Clause 12 or 13 shall be ineffective, null and void. 

  

 41 

	12.2	Unrestricted Transfers 

  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shares may be freely transferred (i) to the Shareholders of the same class of Shares or (ii) by a Shareholder to an
Affiliated Company of such Shareholder, provided that the Affiliated Company undertakes to retransfer the Shares to such Shareholder when the Affiliated Company ceases to be an Affiliated Company of such Shareholder or (iii) to the Royal Bank of
Scotland plc acting as facility agent under the Credit Agreement or (iv) to any person elected pursuant to the procedure set out in the law of 5 May 1872 on commercial pledges, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, as defined in the Credit
Agreement, and which is outstanding. 
  

	12.3	Indirect Transfers in Luxco 

  

	 	12.3.1 	Indirect interests in Luxco may be syndicated by First Islamic through CaymanCo to offshore investors pursuant to a private placement memorandum prepared by First Islamic and such
investors may trade their interests through First Islamic, provided, however, that such syndication may not engage in any directed selling efforts (within the meaning of Rule 902 under Regulation S of the United States Securities Act of 1993) with
respect to direct or indirect interests in the Company and will comply with the offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S. Specifically, no direct or indirect interests in the Company may be offered, sold or otherwise transferred to any U.S.
Person, as that term is defined in Regulation S, target or involve in any way investors in the US or in Europe. 

  

	 	12.3.2 	Such trading of indirect shareholding interests shall not impact Luxco’s commitment or ability to close/fund its investment in the Company, the operations of the Company, nor
the relationship between Shurgard and Luxco. Luxco may syndicate the indirect interests in the Company in tranches; the underwriting commitment to the Company is for the total 80% Equity of the Company and is not subject to syndication.

  

	 	12.3.3 	Luxco guarantees and procures that Luxco will, directly or indirectly, effectively remain at all times under the full control of First Islamic personnel or personnel of its
Affiliated Companies and that the investors in CaymanCo will have no right whatsoever and not even a consultation right on the decisions or actions to be taken by Luxco. 

  

	 	12.3.4 	For the avoidance of doubt, Shurgard or any of its Affiliated Companies shall not be considered in any way to be co-sponsoring the syndication mentioned under Clause 12.3.2 or at
any time be requested by Luxco to co-sponsor or assist with such syndication. 

  

	 	12.3.5 	Luxco guarantees and procures that the above syndication referred to in Clause 12.3.2 will not cause Shurgard or any of its Affiliated Companies to be subject to the provisions of
any securities laws whatsoever. 

  

	 	12.3.6 	Luxco guarantees and procures that Shurgard, SSCI and their shareholders, partners, managers, directors, officers, employees and Affiliated Companies will be held harmless from any
claim, damages, expenses or other cost arising from the syndication including, without limitation, any such claims, damages, expenses or costs associated with matters arising from non-compliance with securities laws relating to the syndication and
offering. 

  

 42 

	 	12.3.7 	Luxco guarantees and procures that shares or any other interest in CaymanCo will not be held, directly or indirectly, at any time by (i) a Competitor of Shurgard, (ii) a person
mentioned on any governmental or regulatory restricted list or subject to economic sanctions including lists maintained by the Office of Foreign Asset Control of the U.S. Department of Treasury, or (iii) a person who is prohibited from investing in
US financial institutions pursuant to the Patriot Act. 

  

	 	12.3.8 	Luxco agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that no contribution or payment by CaymanCo (through Luxco) to the Company shall cause the Company or Shurgard to be in
violation of the Patriot Act, the United States Bank Secrecy Act, the United States Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 or the United States International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001. Luxco will promptly
notify Shurgard if to Luxco’s knowledge, there has been any violation of this Clause 12.3.8. 

  

	 	12.3.9 	Luxco undertakes to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, SSCI, Shurgard or their Affiliated Companies for any damage resulting from the above syndication or the non-compliance
by Luxco or any of its Affiliated Companies with the provisions of this Clause 12. 

  

	13	Exit Strategy 

  

	13.1	Timing 

  

	 	13.1.1 	Both Parties agree that they intend to contemplate an exit when the Properties have reached maturity and therefore undertake not to transfer their Shares before the fifth
anniversary of the Closing, provided that the exit procedure may be commenced at any time if both Parties agree to do so. The exit procedure may also be commenced at any time after the fifth anniversary of the Closing, by (i) Shurgard by notifying
to Luxco its intention to purchase the Shares held by Luxco or the assets of the Company (i.e., the shares of the subsidiaries of the Company or the underlying properties in the subsidiaries) (the “Assets”) (the “Shurgard
Exit Notice”) or (ii) Luxco by notifying to Shurgard its intention to sell the Assets or its Shares to Shurgard or to a third party (the “Luxco Exit Notice”). 

  

	 	13.1.2 	The exit procedure may also be commenced by Luxco within six months following the termination of either of the Management Agreements for fraud, gross negligence, wilful misconduct
or material breach on the part of Shurgard on the terms and as provided in the Management Agreements. 

  

	 	13.1.3 	The exit procedure may also be commenced by the non-defaulting Party in the case of a violation by the other Party of Clause 11.1. In such a case, the exit procedure must be
exercised within 6 months of the notice mentioned under Clause 11.1.4. 

  

	 	13.1.4 	The exit procedure may also be commenced if SSCI is no longer involved in Shurgard in a similar way as at the time of the Closing or is no longer, directly or indirectly, the
largest shareholder of Shurgard or is no longer responsible for its management. This Clause shall not apply if Shurgard is listed on a recognised stock exchange, provided that SSCI, directly or indirectly, continues to hold at least 5% of the
economic interest in Shurgard and that Shurgard operates under the name “Shurgard” or any other name under which its US parent trades. 

  

 43 

	13.2	Principles 

  

	 	13.2.1 	In the event that the exit procedure is commenced by either Shurgard or Luxco, Shurgard, prior to any other party shall have the right, at Shurgard’s sole discretion, to
purchase the Assets or the Shares held by Luxco (the “First Right of Offer”) in accordance with this Clause 13. This First Right of Offer applies if Shurgard wishes to purchase the Assets or the Shares, for its own account, or
together with or for the account of another investor, having a different investment profile than First Islamic, such as a pension fund, a multi investor vehicle also owning other Shurgard assets or a listed investment vehicle.

  

	 	13.2.2 	Subject to Clause 13.4, Luxco shall have the right to enter into exclusive negotiations with Shurgard, to propose to set up a new joint venture (or restructure the Company)
to form a stabilised joint venture with Shurgard to own the centres developed by the Company or its subsidiaries (the “Second Right of Offer”). 

  

	 	13.2.3 	The exit procedure may only be commenced for the purchase or sale of all the Assets or all the Shares held by Luxco; it cannot be triggered for a portion of such Assets or
Shares only, unless the Parties agree so. 

  

	 	13.2.4 	The Parties will co-operate to structure the exit in a manner that minimises overall applicable taxes and other costs. 

  

	 	13.2.5 	In the event the exit procedure is commenced, the procedure set out in this Clause 13 will apply. 

  

	13.3	First Right of Offer to Shurgard 

  

	 	13.3.1 	Exit triggered by Shurgard 

  
 If the exit procedure is commenced by Shurgard, the following procedure will apply: 
  

	 	(i)	The Shurgard Exit Notice shall contain the following information: 

  

	 	(a)	whether Shurgard wishes to purchase the Assets or the Shares, for its own account, or together with or for the account of another investor, having a different investment profile
than First Islamic, such as a pension fund, a multi investor vehicle owning also other Shurgard assets or a listed investment vehicle; 

  

	 	(b)	Shurgard’s calculation of the Fair Market Value of the Assets or the Shares with the details of such calculation in accordance with the rules set out in Clause 13.6 (the
“Offer Price”); and 

  

	 	(c)	the other conditions under which the Assets or the Shares would be transferred. 

  

	 	(ii)	During a period of 90 days following the date of the Shurgard Exit Notice (the “Negotiation Period”), the Parties shall in good faith negotiate on the basis of the
Shurgard Exit Notice the terms and conditions of a purchase and sale of the Assets or Shares held by Luxco. During such period, Shurgard shall provide Luxco with all information in its possession reasonably requested by Luxco allowing the latter to
assess the Offer Price. During the Negotiation Period, Luxco may require the Company to provide it with an update of the valuation reports made on a regular basis for the benefit of the Lenders. 

  

 44 

	 	(iii)	If the Parties are not able to reach an agreement on the terms and conditions of a sale and purchase of the Shares or Assets within the Negotiation Period, the Parties shall appoint
two independent experts as set out hereinafter. 

  

	 	(iv)	Shurgard shall within 5 days after the expiry of the Negotiation Period provide Luxco with a list of names of 4 independent reputable appraisers with experience in the valuation of
the asset class to which the Assets belong. 

  

	 	(v)	Within 21 days after receipt by Luxco of the above list, Luxco shall select 2 out of the 4 experts as independent expert (the “Independent Experts”). During such 21
days period Luxco shall be allowed to interview the experts named on the list with a view to selecting two of them. The Independent Experts may either use their own pan-European network, or co-ordinate competent and reputable local experts in the
different markets. 

  

	 	(vi)	The Parties shall bear the Independent Expert’s fees pro rata to their equity holding in the Company. 

  

	 	(vii)	The Independent Experts shall determine the Fair Market Value of the Assets or Shares held by Luxco, as the case may be, in accordance with the rules set out herein.

  

	 	(viii)	Each Independent Expert shall, independently of each other, determine the Fair Market Value of the Shares or Assets. Within 60 days after their appointment, they will each send
their draft appraisal report to both Luxco and Shurgard. Within 15 days after receipt of the last received appraisal report, the Parties will provide each of the Independent Experts with their comments and arguments on the respective reports of the
Independent Experts. Each Independent Expert will only receive the comments on its report (and not on the report of the other Independent Expert), but Parties shall always copy each other on all correspondence with the Independent Experts. Together
with their comments the Parties can request a meeting with each of the Independent Experts; after having received the comments of the Parties, the Independent Experts can also request a meeting with the Parties. Such meetings will always be held in
the presence of representatives of each Party upon at least 7 days prior written notice provided that always only one Independent Expert at the time can attend such meetings. The Independent Experts shall send their final appraisal report to both
Parties at the latest within 45 days after receipt by the Parties of the last received draft appraisal report. 

  

	 	(ix)	On the basis of the 2 final appraisal reports the arbitrated price shall be computed which shall be equal to the average of the Fair Market Values as determined by each Independent
Expert (the “Arbitrated Price”). 

  

	 	(x)	 If the Arbitrated Price does not value the Assets or the Shares at least on a 9% or lower capitalisation rate on existing (i.e. the quarter immediately preceding
the quarter in which the two Independent Experts have been selected by Luxco) annualised NOI on a consolidated basis, Luxco will, at its sole choice, have the right to either delay the exit one or more times for a period up to a maximum of three
years after the fifth anniversary of the 

  

 45 

	 	 
Closing in accordance with Clause 13.3.1(xiii), or offer the Assets or the Shares in the open market. In the latter case, Shurgard will have a right of first
refusal on the Assets or the Shares pursuant to Clause 13.3.1(xiv). 

  

	 	(xi)	If the Arbitrated Price values the Assets or the Shares at least on a 9% capitalisation rate on existing (i.e. the quarter immediately preceding the quarter in which the two
Independent Experts have been selected by Luxco) annualised NOI on a consolidated basis or if Luxco has not notified its intention to delay the exit or to offer the Assets or the Shares in the market pursuant to Clause 13.3.1(x) within ten days of
the determination of the Fair Market Value by the Independent Experts, the following rules will apply: 

  

	 	(a)	If the Arbitrated Price is higher than the Offer Price: 

  

	 	•	Shurgard shall have the right to match the Arbitrated Price and purchase the Shares or Assets at such Arbitrated Price; or 

  

	 	•	Shurgard shall have the right to try to negotiate with Luxco during a period of at least 14 days a price lower than the Arbitrated Price acceptable to both Parties; or

  

	 	•	if Shurgard does not want to match the Arbitrated Price and Parties do not agree on an alternative price, Luxco shall have the right to offer the Assets or its Shares in the open
market at a price at least equal to the Arbitrated Price subject to a right of first refusal for Shurgard as set out in Clause 13.3.1(xiv); if the Shares or Assets can not be sold by Luxco at a price at least equal to 97% of the Arbitrated Price
within a period of 4 months after the last received final report of the Independent Expert, the portfolio shall be removed from the market and the entire procedure as set out in this Clause needs to be recommenced in the event of a sale of the
Assets or Shares. 

  

	 	(b)	If the Arbitrated Price is lower than the Offer Price 

  

	 	•	Shurgard shall have the right to purchase the Shares or Assets at the Offer Price; or 

  

	 	•	Shurgard can withdraw its offer to purchase the Shares or Assets; or 

  

	 	•	Shurgard shall have the right to try to negotiate with Luxco during a period of at least 14 days a price lower than the Offer Price acceptable to both Parties; or

  

	 	•	 if Shurgard does not want to pay the Offer Price and Parties do not agree on an alternative price, Luxco shall have the right to offer the Assets or its Shares in
the open market at a price at least equal to the Offer Price subject to a right of first refusal for Shurgard as set out in Clause 13.3.1(xiv); if the Shares or Assets can not be sold by Luxco at a price at least 

  

 46 

	 	 
equal to 97% of the Offer Price within a period of 4 months after the last received final report of the Independent Expert, the portfolio shall be removed
from the market and the entire procedure as set out in this Clause needs to be recommenced in the event of a sale of the Assets or Shares. 

  

	 	(xii)	In the event of a sale and purchase of the Shares or Assets being agreed between the Parties, depending if a sale of Assets or Shares is contemplated 

  

	 	(a)	the Shares shall be transferred to Shurgard upon payment by Shurgard to Luxco of the price of the Shares, determined as set out herein, minus the amount of the Special Profit
Participation 1 and Special Profit Participation 2 as determined pursuant to Clause 15.1; or 

  

	 	(b)	the Assets shall be transferred to Shurgard upon payment by Shurgard to the Company of the price of the Assets, determined as set out herein, and Clause 13.5 will apply.

  

	 	(xiii)	If Luxco decides to delay the exit pursuant to Clause 13.3.1(x), it shall so notify Shurgard within ten days of the determination of the Fair Market Value by the Independent
Experts. Such notification shall indicate the period for which the exit shall be delayed with a maximum of three years following the fifth anniversary of the Closing. During such period both Parties shall have the ongoing right at any time to
trigger an exit subject to the procedure set out in Clause 13.3.1 (if triggered by Shurgard) or Clause 13.3.2 (if triggered by Luxco). 

  

	 	(xiv)	If Luxco decides to market the Assets or the Shares pursuant to Clause 13.3.1(x) or (xi), it shall so notify Shurgard within ten days of the determination of the Fair Market Value
by the Independent Experts. In such a case, the following procedure will apply: 

  

	 	(a)	Luxco must within 30 days of the notice referred to in Clause 13.3.1(xiv) above, notify (the “Sale Notice”) Shurgard indicating (i) the surname, given names,
occupation, or in the case of a corporate entity the corporate name and registered office, of the candidate-purchaser (the “Candidate-Purchaser”), (ii) whether Luxco wishes to transfer the Assets or the Shares, (iii) the price the
Candidate-Purchaser is willing to pay (the “Purchase Price”) as well as (iv) the other conditions under which the Assets or the Shares would be transferred. 

  

	 	(b)	Shurgard shall have a right of first refusal to purchase the Assets or the Shares. 

  

	 	(c)	This right of first refusal must be exercised for all of the Assets or Shares and cannot be exercised for a portion thereof. 

  

	 	(d)	In case Shurgard wishes to purchase the Assets or the Shares it shall, within 30 days of the date of the Sale Notice, so notify Luxco and the following relevant rules will apply,
depending if a sale of Assets or Shares is contemplated: 

  

 47 

	 	(I)	the Shares shall be transferred to Shurgard upon payment by Shurgard to Luxco of the Purchase Price minus the amounts of the Special Profit Participation 1 and the Special Profit
Participation 2 as determined pursuant to Clause 15.1; or 

  

	 	(II)	the Assets shall be transferred to Shurgard upon payment by Shurgard to the Company of the Purchase Price of the Assets and Clause 13.5 will apply. 

  

	 	(e)	if the Assets or the Shares are not sold within a period of four months as of the appointment of a broker, the portfolio shall be removed from the market. 

 

	 	13.3.2 	Exit Triggered by Luxco 

  
 If the exit procedure is commenced by Luxco, the following procedure will apply: 
  

	 	(i)	The Luxco Exit Notice must contain the following information: 

  

	 	(a)	whether Luxco wishes to sell the Shares or the Assets; 

  

	 	(b)	Luxco’s estimate of the Fair Market Value of the Assets or the Shares; and 

  

	 	(c)	the other conditions under which the Assets or the Shares would be transferred. 

  

	 	(ii)	During a period of 90 days following the date of the Luxco Exit Notice (the “Negotiation Period”), Parties shall in good faith negotiate on the basis of the Luxco
Exit Notice the terms and conditions of a purchase and sale of the Assets or Shares held by Luxco. During such period, Shurgard shall provide Luxco with all information in its possession reasonably requested by Luxco allowing the latter to determine
the Fair Market Value of the Assets or Shares held by Luxco. During the Negotiation Period Luxco may require the Company to provide it with an update of the valuation reports made on a regular basis for the benefit of the Lenders.

  

	 	(iii)	If the Parties are not able to reach an agreement on the terms and conditions of a sale and purchase of the Shares or Assets within the Negotiation Period, the Parties shall appoint
two independent experts as set out hereinafter. 

  

	 	(iv)	Shurgard shall within 5 days after the expiry of the Negotiation Period provide Luxco with a list of names of 4 independent reputable appraisers with experience in the valuation of
the asset class to which the Assets belong. 

  

	 	(v)	Within 21 days after receipt by Luxco of the above list, Luxco shall select 2 out of the 4 experts as independent expert (the “Independent Experts”). During such 21
days period Luxco is allowed to interview the experts named on the list with a view of selecting two of them. The Independent Experts can either use their own pan-European network, or co-ordinate competent and reputable local experts in the
different markets. 

  

	 	(vi)	The Parties shall bear the Independent Expert’s fees pro rata to their equity holding in the Company. 

  

 48 

	 	(vii)	The Independent Experts shall have to determine the Fair Market Value of the Assets or Shares held by Luxco, as the case may be, in accordance with the rules set out herein.

  

	 	(viii)	Each Independent Expert shall, independently of each other, determine the Fair Market Value of the Shares or Assets. Within 60 days after their appointment, they will each send
their draft appraisal report to both Luxco and Shurgard. Within 15 days after receipt of the last received appraisal report, the Parties will provide each of the Independent Experts with their comments and arguments on the respective reports of the
Independent Experts. Each Independent Expert will only receive the comments on its report (and not on the report of the other Independent Expert), but Parties shall always copy each other on all correspondence with the Independent Experts. Together
with their comments the Parties can request a meeting with each of the Independent Experts; after having received the comments of the Parties, the Independent Experts can also request a meeting with the Parties. Such meetings will always be held in
the presence of representatives of each Party upon at least 7 days prior written notice provided that always only one Independent Expert at the time can attend such meetings. The Independent Experts shall send their final appraisal report to both
Parties at the latest within 45 days after receipt by the Parties of the last received draft appraisal report. 

  

	 	(ix)	On the basis of the 2 final appraisal reports the arbitrated price shall be computed which shall be equal to the average of the Fair Market Values as determined by each Independent
Expert (the “Arbitrated Price”). 

  

	 	(x)	If Shurgard wants to purchase the Assets or Shares held by Luxco at the Arbitrated Price, it should notify Luxco thereof within 30 days after receipt of the last received
Independent Expert appraisal report. 

  

	 	(xi)	Failing such notification by Shurgard to purchase at the Arbitrated Price within the above period, Shurgard shall be deemed to have decided not to exercise its First Right of Offer.
In such a case, Luxco may exercise its Second Right of Offer pursuant to Clause 13.4 or market the Assets or the Shares with the intention of selling to a third party. However, if the purchase price proposed for these Assets or the Shares from a
third party is less than 97% of the Arbitrated Price, then Shurgard shall have a right to purchase the Shares or the Assets at such proposed sale price. In addition, the Assets or the Shares cannot be sold to a Competitor of Shurgard without the
consent of Shurgard. However, subject to the terms of the Management Agreements, the Assets or the Shares may be sold to dedicated funds holding self storage assets managed by an outside operator not controlled by such funds. Finally, if the Assets
or the Shares are marketed and not sold within a period of four months as of the appointment of a broker, the portfolio shall be removed from the market.

	 	(a)	the Shares shall be transferred to Shurgard upon payment by Shurgard to Luxco of the Arbitrated Price of the Shares minus the amounts of the Special Profit Participation 1 and the
Special Profit Participation 2 as determined pursuant to Clause 15.1; or 

  

	 	(b)	the Assets shall be transferred to Shurgard upon payment by Shurgard to the Company of the Arbitrated Price of the Assets and Clause 13.5 will apply. 

  

	13.4	Second Right of Offer to Luxco 

  

	 	13.4.1 	If the exit procedure is commenced by Luxco, and Shurgard does not exercise its First Right of Offer pursuant to Clause 13.3 and assuming that Shurgard wishes to maintain its
equity position, Luxco shall have the right to enter into exclusive negotiations with Shurgard, to propose to set up a new joint venture (or restructure the Company) to form a stabilised joint venture with Shurgard to own the centres developed by
the Company or its subsidiaries (the “Second Right of Offer”). Both Parties will negotiate in good faith the terms of such venture. 

  

	 	13.4.2 	Luxco shall notify Shurgard of its intention to exercise this Second Right of Offer within 15 days of the determination of the Arbitrated Price by the Independent Experts pursuant
to Clause 13.3.2(ix). 

  

	 	13.4.3 	If no agreement can be reached by the Parties within 60 days of the notification made by Luxco pursuant to Clause 13.4.2, Luxco may market the Assets or the Shares with the
intention of selling to a third party. However, if the purchase price proposed for these Assets or the Shares from a third party is less than 97% of the Arbitrated Price, then Shurgard shall have a right to purchase the Shares or the Assets at such
proposed sale price. In addition, the Assets or the Shares cannot be sold to other self-service storage operators without the consent of Shurgard. However, the Assets or the Shares may be sold to other self-service storage owners (e.g. dedicated
funds or investors) subject to the terms and obligations of the Management Agreements. Finally, if the Assets or the Shares are marketed and not sold within a period of four months as of the appointment of a broker, the portfolio shall be removed
from the market. 

  

	 	13.4.4 	If an agreement is reached within 60 days of the notification made by Luxco pursuant to Clause 13.4.2, the Assets will be transferred at the Arbitrated Price to the
stabilised joint venture and the Company will be liquidated in accordance with Clause 15. 

  

	13.5	Sale of the Assets 

  
 If the Assets are sold pursuant to Clause 13, the Company and its subsidiaries will be liquidated in accordance with Clause 15. 
  

 50 

	13.6	Sale of the Shares 

  
 In the event of a sale of the Shares, the Parties will adjust the price for each class of shares to properly allocate the Special Profit Participation 1
and the Special Profit Participation 2 to the Class C Shares, as determined pursuant to Clause 15.1. 
  

	13.7	Fair Market Value 

  
 The “Fair Market Value” means the “Market Value” as defined in Practice Statement 4.1 of the RICS Appraisal and Valuation
Manual published by The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (the Red Book), provided that in the event of a sale of the Shares held by Luxco the valuation shall be based on the Fair Market Value of the underlying Properties, trading as
self-service storage centers with the benefits and obligations of the Management Agreements then in place, but shall also take into account the other assets and liabilities of the Company and the Special Purpose Vehicles on a consolidated basis,
provided that in the event that any individual Property which the Independent Experts both agree would on an alternate use basis be valued at least 50% higher than the value of the same property on a continuing use basis, that property shall be sold
separately on the basis of such alternate use valuation and in such case the relevant provisions of the Property and Asset Management Agreement shall cease to apply to such property. The Independent Experts in their best professional opinion may
deviate from the Red Book and use a valuation method which is more suited for a given Property. 
  

	13.8	Voting Agreement 

  
 If a Party wishes to transfer its Shares to a third party, the other Party hereby irrevocably undertakes to vote in favor of such transfer provided that
the transferor has fully complied with the terms and conditions of Clauses 12 and 13 and is allowed to transfer its Shares to such third party pursuant to Clauses 12 and 13. 
  

	13.9	Tag Along 

  

	 	13.9.1 	If Luxco wishes to sell its Class B Shares to a third party pursuant to Clause 13, it shall first offer to Shurgard to purchase its Class C Shares at a price equal to EUR
1,900 plus an amount equal to the amount to which the Class C Shareholder would be entitled pursuant to Clause 15 in case of a liquidation of the Company (the “Tag Along Price”). 

  

	 	13.9.2 	Luxco shall notify to Shurgard the above offer to purchase its Class C Shares not less than 20 days before the completion of the contemplated sale of its Class B Shares to a
third party (the “Purchase Notice”). If Shurgard wishes to accept Luxco’s offer and sell its Class C Shares to Luxco, it must confirm this in writing to Luxco within 10 days of the receipt of the Purchase Notice (the
“Acceptance Notice”). The Acceptance Notice shall be accompanied by a share purchase agreement substantially in the form attached as Schedule 13.9.2 and signed in three originals by an authorised representative of Shurgard.

  

	 	13.9.3 	Within 10 days of the receipt of the Acceptance Notice, Luxco shall provide Shurgard with two originals of this share purchase agreement (one for Shurgard and one to be kept
in the share register of the Company), signed by an authorised representative of Luxco; the purchase price of the Class C Shares as set forth in this share purchase agreement shall be paid to Shurgard at the closing of the sale of the Class C Shares
to the third party pursuant to Clause 14. 

  

 51 

	 	13.9.4 	Luxco shall transfer the Class C Shares acquired pursuant to this Clause 13.9 to the third party to which it will sell its Class B Shares without having to follow the
procedure of Clause 13. 

  

	 	13.9.5 	In case an Acceptance Notice has been given in accordance with this Clause 13.9, the sale of the Class B Shares to the third party may not be effected before the execution by
Luxco of the Class C Shares purchase agreement with Shurgard. 

  

	14	Closing of the Exit 

  
 Subject to the provisions of Clause 13, in order to ensure that the closing of any of the exit scenarios pursuant to Clause 13 is Shari’ah compliant,
the Parties undertake to take the following actions in the chronological order below, provided that all such actions shall be taken at one closing meeting:

15;

	15	Distribution of Cash Flow upon Exit and Special Profit Participations 

  

	15.1	Principles 

  
 Upon a transaction involving a sale of the Assets, the Company shall be liquidated and distributions of proceeds (“Residual Value”, as
defined in Clause 15.2), shall be as follows: 
  

	 	15.1.1 	by preference to the Class C Shareholder for an amount equal to the Capital of the Company represented by the Class C Shares; then, 

  

	 	15.1.2 	to the Class A Shareholder and Class B Shareholder, respectively, for an amount equal to the Capital of the Company represented by the Class A Shares and Class B Shares;
then, 

  

	 	15.1.3 	to and among the Class A Shareholder, Class B Shareholder and Class C Shareholder proportionately and until each receives pursuant to Clauses 15.1.1 and 15.1.2 and this
Clause 15.1.3 (and also taking into account any payments received pursuant to Clause 6.1) a 12% pre-tax (to the Shareholders, but net of any taxes at the level of the Company) cumulative compounded return on the pro rata of the Capital represented
by their Shares; then, 

  

	 	15.1.4 	above a 12% pre-tax cumulative compounded return pursuant to Clauses 15.1.2 and 15.1.3 (and also taking into account any payments received pursuant to Clause 6.1) and up to a
25% pre-tax cumulative compounded return to the Class A Shareholder and the Class B Shareholder, 25% of the remaining residual cash flow, if any, will be distributed to the Class C Shareholder as special profit participation (the “Special
Profit Participation 1”) and the remainder shall be distributed between the Class A Shareholder, Class B Shareholder and Class C Shareholder according to their pro-rata holding of Shares; then, 

  

	 	15.1.5 	 if and once the Class A Shareholder and the Class B Shareholder realize a 25% pre-tax cumulative compounded return pursuant to Clauses 15.1.2, 15.1.3 and
15.1.4, 37.5% of the remaining residual cash flow, if any, will be distributed to the Class C Shareholder as special profit participation (the “Special Profit 

  

 53 

	 	 
Participation 2”) and the remainder shall be distributed between the Class A Shareholder, Class B Shareholder and Class C Shareholder according
to their pro-rata holding of Shares. 

  

	 	15.1.6 	for the calculation of the cumulative compounded return, invested amounts will be taken into account when invested in the Company, distributions will be taken into account
when made to the respective Shareholder and the XIRR function in Microsoft Excel shall be acceptable. It will be compounded quarterly. Schedule 15.1.6 contains an example of distribution of cash flow upon exit. 

  

	15.2	Residual Value 

  
 “Residual Value” is defined as total net proceeds resulting from a liquidation of the Company’s assets (including unused reserves)
after repayment of financing, and payments of all venture related taxes and transaction costs.

	17.1	Lump Sum Amount

“schadevergoeding”) in a lump sum amount are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Parties and have been expressly agreed upon by professional parties. 
  

	17.2	Press Announcements

	17.5	Successors and Assigns 

  

	 	17.5.1 	Except as otherwise provided herein, no Party may assign all or part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any third party (through a sale, a capital
contribution, a donation or any other transaction, including the sale or contribution of a division (“branche d’activité” / “bedrijfstak”) or of a business as a whole
(“universalité” / “algemeenheid”), or a merger or split-up) without the prior written consent of the other Party(ies). As long as such consent has not been obtained, the assigning Party shall continue to be
liable for all obligations that it intended to assign (without prejudice to any other right or remedy that the other Party(ies) may have for breach of this Clause 17.5.1). 

  

	 	17.5.2 	This Agreement shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the respective Parties and their permitted successors and assigns. 

  

	17.6	Entire Agreement and Amendments 

  
 This Agreement, together with the agreements expressly contemplated hereby, constitutes the full and complete agreement of the Parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof, and expressly supersedes all other agreements between Shurgard and Luxco in connection herewith. This Agreement may be amended, modified or otherwise changed only in writing signed by both Parties. 
  

	17.7	No Waiver 

  
 The failure of any Party to insist on strict performance of a covenant hereunder or of any obligation hereunder, irrespective of the length of time for
which such failure continues, will not be a waiver of such Party’s rights to demand strict compliance in the future. No consent or waiver, express or implied, to or of any breach or default in the performance of any obligation hereunder will
constitute a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance of the same or any other obligation hereunder. 
  

	17.8	Counterparts 

  
 This Agreement and any amendments hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which together for all purposes constitute one agreement,
binding on both Parties notwithstanding that both Parties have not signed the same counterpart. 
  

	17.9	Power of attorney to initial 

  

	 	17.9.1 	Shurgard hereby gives a power of attorney to Paul Van Hooghten, An Moonen or any other attorney of Linklaters De Bandt, having its offices at Brederodestraat 13, 1000
Brussels, acting individually or jointly, in order to initial, on its behalf, the Schedules to this Agreement. 

  

	 	17.9.2 	Luxco hereby gives a power of attorney to Edouard Derom, Sarah Van Haute or any other attorney of Linklaters De Bandt, having its offices at Brederodestraat 13, 1000
Brussels, acting individually or jointly, in order to initial, on its behalf, the Schedules to this Agreement. 

  

	17.10 	Governing Law 

  
 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Belgian law. 
  

 56 

	17.11 	Arbitration 

  

	 	17.11.1 	All disputes arising in connection with any of this Agreement, either of the Management Agreements, any share purchase agreement executed pursuant to Clause 13.9.2 or Clause 3.2 and
any arrangements entered into within the framework of such agreements (together the “Relevant Agreements”), and which Parties are unable to settle amicably shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International
Chamber of Commerce (the “Rules”) by three arbitrators, all appointed by the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce in accordance with the Rules (the “Court”).

  
 The arbitration shall be held in Geneva. The
proceedings and award shall be in the English language. 
  
 Every
arbitrator must be and remain independent of any person that is a party to any of the Relevant Agreements, even if such party is not actually a party to the arbitration proceedings being conducted under this present Clause 17.11. 
  

	 	17.11.2 	All Parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge that the subject matter of the Relevant Agreements has a close inter-relationship. 

  

	 	17.11.3 	In order to ensure that all disputes in connection with any of the Relevant Agreements are resolved in a uniform and compatible manner, the Parties to this Agreement agree to
procure that the procedures set out in the paragraphs below shall be complied with. 

  

	 	(i)	In addition to the procedural requirements set forth by the Rules, any party to a Relevant Agreement that initiates an arbitration procedure (the “Initial Arbitration
Proceedings”) shall send a copy of its request for arbitration (the “Notification”) to all the parties to all the Relevant Agreements at the same time as making such request for arbitration. 

  
 The Initial Arbitration Proceedings shall be
suspended until such time as the Notification process is completed. 
  

	 	(ii)	The procedure set out in paragraph 17.11.3(i) above in respect of giving Notification shall similarly apply in respect of all arbitration proceedings that are commenced in respect
of the Relevant Agreements subsequent to the Initial Arbitration Proceedings (“Subsequent Proceedings” and any such notification shall similarly be defined as “Notification”) and the party initiating any Subsequent
Proceedings shall at the same time as making the request for arbitration inform the Secretariat of the Court of the existence of all such arbitration proceedings relating to the Relevant Agreements (“Previous Proceedings”) and
request that the Court refers the matter to the same arbitrators appointed by the Court in respect of the Previous Proceedings. 

  

	 	(iii)	 Any party that has received a Notification may, within 30 days from the receipt of such Notification, request to be included as a party (an “Intervening
Party”) to the arbitration proceedings referred to in the Notification by filing a “Request to Intervene” with the Secretariat of the Court. The parties to the arbitration proceedings referred to in the Notification shall
do all things possible to assist the Intervening Party in being joined as a party to those arbitration proceedings (which shall include 

  

 57 

	 	 
applying for an extension of the deadline for the filing of documents to enable the Intervening Party to file documents). 

  

	 	(iv)	Any party to any arbitration proceedings initiated in accordance with this Clause 17.11 may at any time request that any other party or parties to any of the Relevant Agreements be
joined in such arbitration proceedings (the “Joined Party or Parties”), provided that the party making the request reasonably believes the subject matter of the arbitration proceedings justifies the joinder of such Joined Party or
Parties. A request for such joinder shall be made by written notice to the Secretariat of the Court (a “Notice of Joinder”) copied to the Joined Party or Parties. 

  

	 	(v)	If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Clause 17.11, separate arbitral procedures in respect of any of the Relevant Agreements have been initiated, any party to such arbitral
procedures shall be entitled to request that the Secretariat of the Court consider consolidating the arbitral proceedings into one arbitral proceeding. 

  
 The arbitrators shall decide to so consolidate any two or more proceedings if it appears to them to be in the interest of
justice that the various disputes and issues submitted to arbitration be adjudicated in one arbitral proceeding and by one award. The arbitrators shall be bound to consolidate such proceedings if to do otherwise could result in awards that are
irreconcilable or which would be unenforceable. 
  

	 	17.11.4 	The Parties hereby agree not to seek judicial review of any award made pursuant to this Clause 17.11. They specifically and irrevocably exclude their right to seek judicial review
of the award on all the grounds listed in article 190 (2) of the Swiss Conflict of Laws Statute. 

  

	 	17.11.5 	The Parties hereby acknowledge that all Relevant Agreements either have or shall include wording similar to this Clause 17.11 in such Relevant Agreement. 

 

	17.12 	Covenant of Good Faith 

  
 Each Party covenants and agrees that whenever it is authorized by this Agreement to take or omit to take any action, or to give or withhold any approval
or consent, whether or not in its sole discretion, it will take or omit to take such action, or give or withhold such approval or consent, in good faith and not in an arbitrary or capricious manner. 
  

	17.13 	Severability 

  
 If any provision of this Agreement or the Articles of Association or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall be invalid or
unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement or the Articles of Association and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and Parties shall negotiate in good faith a replacement
provision having a similar economic effect as the invalid or unenforceable provision(s). If the subject term or provision is deemed to be invalid, void or unenforceable only with respect to a particular application, such term or provision shall
remain in full force and effect with respect to all other applications. 
  

	17.14 	Middle East Situation 

  
 Both Parties acknowledge that the political situation in the Middle East is currently unstable. Both Parties recognise that this situation and the
possible related consequences 

  

 58 

 
will not be considered as a valid reason not to comply with their obligations under the Agreement in such case.
