The Framework Agreement was entered on March 28, 2013 in notarial form before notary Marc Bohr (the “Notary”) and was subsequently amended on May 2, 2013 through an ad hoc amendment agreement (the ’”Amendment Agreement”), which partially modified the terms of payment of the price and of the release thereof by the Notary.

 

We provide below an overview of the main terms of the Framework Agreement, as amended by the Amendment Agreement.

The price shall be paid on a trust account held by the Notary, as follows:

The aggregate of the amount under nos. 1 and 2 above is the “Price”.

 

	
Price Reduction

	
The Price is based on the assumption that assets and liabilities shown in the SPV trial balance updated as at September 30, 2012 and attached to the Framework Agreement, remain not varied and that all proceeds of the SPVs accruing after September 30, 2012 (the “Reference Date”) remain within the SPVs, except for ordinary course of business costs.

 

Without prejudice to indemnification claims, any amount disbursed in breach of the above assumption (the “Disbursements”), to be assessed in accordance with the procedure described in the Framework Agreement, shall be offset against the Price, reducing it accordingly (the “Net Price”).
