CALCULATION OF THE FINAL PRICE

	
4.1
	
Calculation of the Final Price

The Parties hereby agree that the Provisional Price shall be adjusted as follows:

	
 
	
(a)
	
in the event that the Actual 2018 Group EBITDA is less than the Target 2018 Group Consolidated EBITDA by more than Euro 800,000.00 (eight hundred thousand), the Provisional Price shall be reduced, on an Euro for Euro basis, for an amount corresponding to the shortfall of the Actual 2018 Group EBITDA in respect of the Target 2018 Group Consolidated EBITDA (the “EBITDA Shortfall”) multiplied by 10 (the “EBITDA Adjustment”), provided that in no event shall the amount of the EBITDA Adjustment exceed an amount equal to 7.5% (seven point five percent) of the Final Price;

	
 
	
(b)
	
in the event that the Closing NFP is less than the Reference NFP, the Provisional Price shall be reduced, on an Euro for Euro basis, for an amount corresponding to the shortfall (the “NFP Shortfall”) of the Closing NFP in respect of the Reference NFP (the “NFP Shortfall Adjustment”); and

	
 
	
(c)
	
in the event that the Closing NFP is higher than the Reference NFP, the Provisional Price shall be increased, on an Euro for Euro basis, for an amount corresponding to the excess (the “NFP Excess”) of the Closing NFP in respect of the Reference NFP (the “NFP Excess Adjustment”).

It is agreed that in case of Positive Difference, the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers (according to the Relevant Percentages) the amount of the Positive Difference. The obligation of the Buyer to pay the Positive Difference shall be satisfied through the issuance by Farfetch on behalf of the Buyer of a number of Class A Farfetch Shares to be calculated as follows: Positive Difference divided by the weighted average volume price of Class A Farfetch Shares of the 10 (ten) trading days prior to the date of payment.

In case of Negative Difference, each of the Sellers shall be responsible, on a several and not joint basis (except for the DDG Vehicles which shall be responsible on a joint basis), to pay to the Buyer the Relevant Percentage of the Negative Difference. 

The Parties hereby agree that for the avoidance of any doubt, if it is determined pursuant to Section 4.2 below that there is no EBITDA Shortfall, NFP Shortfall or NFP Excess, then the Provisional Price shall be considered as being the Final Price for all the purposes of the Agreement and shall not be subject to any adjustment or reduction and it shall be final and binding between the Parties, without prejudice to what otherwise set forth in this Agreement.

(ii)

(b)
	
If the Sellers pay to the Buyer, the Company or any Subsidiary (as the case may be) an amount in discharge of a Claim and then the Buyer, the Company or any Subsidiary (as the case may be) subsequently receive from a third party a sum which is referred to such Claim or to its subject matter, the Buyer, the Company or any Subsidiary (as the case may be) shall immediately repay to the Sellers (in proportion to the Relevant Percentage) an amount equal to the sum received.

	
 
	
(c)
	
In the event and to the extent that any Loss to be indemnified by the Sellers pursuant to this Section 11 is deductible by the Buyer, the Company or any Subsidiary (as the case may be) for Tax purposes, the liability of the Sellers pursuant to this Section 11 

59

INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES

	
14.1
	
General Provision

The following provisions of this Section 14 shall apply if either Party makes a claim in relation to the Sellers Indemnification Obligations under Section 11, the Special Indemnification Obligations, the Buyer Indemnification Obligations under Section 13 and the FF Indemnification Obligations under Section 13 against the other Party under this Agreement (the “Claim”).

	
14.2
	
Notice of possible Claim 

In the event that a Party (the “Claimant”) becomes aware of any event, claim, proceeding, circumstance or other matter which may give rise to an indemnification obligation of the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) (as the case may be) under this Agreement (the “Indemnification Event”), (i) except for the Special Indemnification Obligations, the Claimant shall give written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, under penalty of forfeiture no later than 30 (thirty) Business Days after the Claimant becomes aware of such Indemnification Event and/or (ii) in respect of the Special Indemnification Obligations, the Claimant shall promptly give written notice (in any case without penalty of forfeiture), in both cases under (i) and (ii), indicating in reasonable details the Claim which it intends to make, the provisions of the Agreement that are deemed to have been breached, the entity to be indemnified, together with all the reasonably available documentation which may reasonably be deemed necessary for the purposes of enabling the Indemnifying Party to be informed and take all appropriate actions in respect of the Loss subject of the Claim (the cases under (i) and/or (ii) a “Notice of Claim”). Such Notice of Claim shall further specify whether the Claim arises as a result of a claim by a third-party (the “Third-Party Claim”) or whether the Claim does not so arise therefrom (the “Direct Claim”), and shall also clearly indicate the factual and legal basis for the Claim.

For clarity, it is understood that each Seller – severally and not jointly with the other Sellers – may enforce the rights and faculties set forth under this Section 14 – and, therefore, each of the Sellers shall be considered, for the purposes of this Section 14, a Claimant or an Indemnifying Party, as the case may be. 

	
14.3
	
Direct Claim 

With respect to any Direct Claim, following receipt of the Notice of Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have 60 (sixty) Business Days to make such investigation of the Claim as it considers reasonably necessary or desirable, and, to this purpose, each Party grants to the other, and cause to grant, access to all relevant books and records and premises and employees of the Claimant, the Company or any Subsidiary (as the case may be), to the extent reasonably necessary. Unless the Claimant and the Indemnifying Party agree in writing prior to the expiration of such 60 (sixty) Business Day period upon the validity and amount of such Claim, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Claimant, the Company or any Subsidiary (as the case may be) the full agreed amount of the Claim in the following 30 (thirty) Business Days, the relevant Direct Claim shall be settled and defined as provided in Section 16.9. Any indemnification amount due by the Indemnifying Party in relation to a Direct Claim shall be paid exclusively after the issuance of a definitive not appealable enforceable arbitration award, enforceable decision or order of the competent Court, or settlement agreement entered into by and between the Indemnifying Party and the Claimant, on the relevant Claim and within 20 (twenty) Business Days after such definitive arbitration award, final decision of the competent Court or settlement agreement to the entity directly affected by the Loss.

61

 

 

 

	
14.4
	
Third-Party Claim 

In the event of a Third-Party Claim, the following shall apply:

the Claimant shall inform the Indemnifying Party in writing of the Third-Party Claim in the relevant Notice of Claim with all reasonable details and shall promptly make available to the latter and/or its counsels all relevant documentation which may be available;

	
 
	
(b)
	
the Claimant shall promptly grant and cause to grant to the Indemnifying Party and/or its counsels access to all relevant books and records and premises and employees of the Claimant, the Company or any Subsidiary (as the case may be), to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with the defense of the Third-Party Claim;

	
 
	
(c)
	
the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to the Claimant as to whether or not it wishes to participate to, by its own counsels, the defense of the Third-Party Claim it remaining agreed and understood that the defense will be in any event led by the Claimant who (1) shall retain, at its sole discretion, any decision as to the conduct of the defense and the proceedings (including the execution of a settlement), to the maximum extent possible under applicable Law, and (2) shall, if applicable, exercise its rights to cause the Company or any Subsidiary (as the case may be) to diligently and promptly manage any such Third-Party Claim, taking without delay any reasonable actions, and preparing, also through its counsels, any relevant filings, judicial or administrative acts or other documents, with due care and with the view of minimizing the Third-Party Claim; and (3) shall regularly (in reasonable intervals) inform the Indemnifying Party about the status of the matter and promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of all material correspondence or other actions or developments in connection with the Third-Party Claim;

	
 
	
(d)
	
in the event that an offer is made to the Claimant, the Company or any Subsidiary (as the case may be), to settle any matter giving rise to an indemnification obligation, which the Claimant, but not the Indemnifying Party, is willing to accept, the Claimant, the Company or any Subsidiary (as the case may be), shall be entitled to enter into such settlement, but the extent of the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligation will be agreed between the Parties in good faith, or, failing agreement, decided by arbitration hereunder as the amount of the settlement, or, if lower, as an amount equal to the Loss/Damage that, in the determination of the arbitration panel, would have occurred if the matter had not been settled;

	
 
	
(e)
	
in the event that (x) an offer is made to the Claimant, the Company or any Subsidiary (as the case may be), to settle any matter giving rise to an indemnification obligation, which the Indemnifying Party, but not the Claimant, is willing to accept, and (y) the Indemnifying Party has accepted in writing its indemnification obligation in relation to such Third-Party Claim, then the Claimant, the Company or any Subsidiary (as the case may be) shall be free not to enter into such settlement and to commence or continue litigation, at its/their own expense, but the Indemnifying Party’s liability shall be limited to the amount of the proposed settlement;

	
 
	
(f)
	
it is also understood that, all costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in participating to the relevant Third-Party Claim shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party; and

	
 
	
(g)
	
any indemnification amount due by the Indemnifying Party in relation to a Third-Party Claim shall be paid, to the entity directly affected by the Loss, exclusively after the issuance of a definitive court decision or order or an arbitration award deciding on the Third-Party Claim, or a definitive settlement agreement on the Third-Party Claim (provided that such settlement agreement is entered into with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party in compliance with the above provisions), and within 30 (thirty) Business Days after the issuance of such definitive judicial judgement or arbitration award or the execution of such settlement agreement.
