| (A) | The Sellers undertake to (i) sell to the Purchaser 100% (one hundred percent) of the Target Quotas, free and clear of any Encumbrance, together with all rights attaching thereto and (ii) comply with all the Sellers’ obligations and undertakings pursuant to this Agreement; and |

| 3.3 | The Parties agree that the Land requires further investigation as to the absence in the soil and subsoil of any Hazardous Material that may entail the obligation to carry out any Remedial Actions of the Target arising from the implementation of the New Project or other prescriptions and obligations in connection thereto, according to Environmental Law. In this connection, the Parties agree to proceed as follows: |
| (i) | As soon as practically feasible after the date hereof, the Sellers shall cause the Target to appoint a qualified engineering company or other consultant qualified to carry out an environmental technical due diligence (the “Environmental Consultant”) to investigate whether the Land is currently in violation of the Environmental Laws or whether there is any Hazardous Material in the Land the presence of which may lead to the obligation of start a Remedial Action (the “Environmental Investigation”). |

| S.V. A.T. F.C. C.C. |
| (ii) | The Environmental Consultant shall be approved also by the Purchaser before the Target enters into any binding agreement with the Environmental Consultant regarding the Environmental Investigation, which approval shall not be unreasonably denied or delayed. Upon such appointment being perfected, the Environmental Consultant shall carry out a phase 1 investigation in order to make a first determination as to the necessity to proceed with further investigations in order to determine whether the implementation of the New Project and the subsequent operation of the hotel on the Land may generate an Environmental Prejudicial Effect. Such determination, either positive or negative, shall be included in a written report of the Environmental Consultant which shall be delivered to the Target, the Sellers and the Purchaser. |
| (iii) | In case of negative determination, meaning that no preliminary environmental investigation with the involvement of the competent Authorities is required according to the Environmental Consultant, the Parties shall proceed with the Transaction in accordance with the terms thereto. |
| (iv) | In case of positive determination instead, the Environmental Consultant shall also indicate in its written report, what will presumably be the Remedial Actions that may be required and an estimate of the costs and timing associated with such Remedial Actions and the following shall apply: |
| (a) | If (x) the Remedial Actions pointed out by the Environmental Consultant imply costs in excess of Euro 2.000.000,00 or an extension of the construction time of the New Project in excess of 18 months, or (y) regardless of such additional costs and time, the implementation of the New Project will require changes to it which will materially adversely affect the New Project, the Parties shall discuss for no more than 30 days whether they intend to proceed with the Transaction or not. If the outcome of such discussions is not satisfactory for the Purchaser, the latter may, within the following 7 days withdraw from the Transaction and shall so notify in writing the Sellers. In this case, this Agreement shall terminate with immediate effect and none of the Parties shall have any claim, right or action against the other Party for indemnification, damages or otherwise. |
| (b) | If none of the conditions set forth in points (a) (x) and (y) above shall apply, the Parties shall proceed with the Transaction in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. |
| (v) | In the case that the Environmental Consultant indicates in its report that a preliminary environmental investigation (indagini ambientali preliminari) is necessary in order to determine whether a Remedial Action will be required to implement the New Project and the Parties have decided to proceed with the Transaction in accordance with preceding point (iv)(b) above, the Sellers shall cause the Target to instruct the Environmental Consultant to proceed with such additional investigation and shall consistenly start the relevant administrative proceeding before the competent Authorities in accordance with Environmental Laws. |

If, instead, the preliminary environmental investigation (indagini ambientali preliminari) detects the presence of Hazardous Material in the soil and/or subsoil of the Land and, as a result, determines that a Remedial Action is required then the Parties shall cause the Target to start the administrative procedure aimed at starting the Remedial Actions. |

| (ii) | Without prejudice to the Purchaser’s right to deliver an Indemnity Request in order to comply with the time limit set forth in subsequent Section 16.3 in respect of potential Liabilities, the Sellers shall not be liable pursuant to this Section 16 except to the extent that such Liabilities have become actual and effective and have been effectively paid by the Target or the Purchaser or have become the subject of an enforceable order issued by any Authority, even if not final. |
| (iii) | Without prejudice to the provisions under Section 16.1: |
| (A) | the Sellers shall not be liable under this Section with respect to any Liability the amount of which is equal to, or lower than, Euro 20,000.00 (twenty thousand/00) (“De Minimis”), except where such amount is exceeded as a result of multiple Liabilities of the same kind, even if each of an amount below the De Minimis, arising out of the same event or circumstance, which shall be treated — for De Minimis purposes — as a single Liability; |
| (B) | the Sellers shall not be liable under this Section until the overall amount of the Liabilities (with the exclusion of Liabilities of an amount not exceeding the De Minimis) exceeds Euro 90,000.00 (ninety thousand/00), it being understood that, upon the Liability exceeding such threshold, the indemnification will be due for the exceeding part only; |
| (C) | the liability of the Sellers in relation to Liabilities borne or suffered by the Purchaser or the Target shall not exceed, in any case, the Fixed Amount. |
it being understood that no limitations under this Section 16.2(iii) shall apply with respect to Liabilities: (i) suffered by the Purchaser and/or the Target as a consequence of wilful misconduct or gross negligence of the Sellers; and/or (ii) which would have not occurred if the representation and warranties under Sections 14.4, 14.5(i), 14.5(ii), 14.5(iv), 14.5(v), 14.5(vi), 14.5(vii), 14.5(xiii), 14.6(i), 14.6(ii), 14.6(iii) and 14.6(vi) (with exclusive reference to the invalidity of the previous transfers) would have been true and correct, it being understood that, in the case under (ii), the aggregate amount of indemnification payable by the Sellers shall in no event exceed an amount equal to the Fixed Amount.
| (iv) | The Parties acknowledge and agree that: |
| (A) | the Sellers’ Representations and Warranties and the relevant indemnification obligations under this Section 16 are atypical and independent obligations vis-à-vis the obligations provided for by law or arising from this Agreement and, therefore, are collectively deemed to be an autonomous warranty and indemnification agreement whose consideration is represented by the Purchase Price and the other obligations assumed by the Purchaser; |
| (B) | also in accordance with preceding sub-Section (A), any right, action and claim of the Purchaser deriving from, or connected with, this Agreement as a result of any of the Sellers’ Representations and Warranties being untrue, incorrect or inaccurate shall not be subject to the limitations, forfeiture and prescriptions terms and restrictions provided for by article 1495 of the Italian civil code; and |
| (C) | the terms for the submission of any Indemnity Request agreed upon by the Parties are the only deemed as effective and agreed by the Parties, it being therefore excluded the application of any other limitation terms. |

| (B) | as to the Liabilities arising out of the breach of the Sellers’ Representations and Warranties under Sections 14.5(viii), 14.5(ix) and 14.6(xiv) up to the expiration of the statute of limitation provided for by law applicable to the competent Authorities for the notification of tax measures against the Target; |
| (C) | as to the Liabilities arising out of the breach of the Sellers’ Representations and Warranties under Section 14.5(x) up to the expiration of the statute of limitation provided for by law applicable to employees, staff, former employees and former staff to bring any claim against the Target; |
| (D) | as to the Liabilities arising out of the breach of the Sellers’ Representations and Warranties under Section 14 other than those contemplated under preceding sub- Sections (A), (B) and (C) up to the expiration of the 18th (eighteenth) month subsequent to the First Closing Date |
(the “Warranty Period”).
| (vii) | Without prejudice to the provisions of subsequent Section 16.2(ix), once the Warranty Period applicable to each category of Liabilities as set out under preceding Section 16.2(vii) has expired, the Sellers’ Representations and Warranties shall become ineffective and no indemnification shall be due any longer by the Sellers in relation to Indemnity Requests served by the Purchaser after the expiration of the Warranty Period. |
| (viii) | Notwithstanding the provisions of Setion 16.2(viii), the Parties covenant that the indemnification obligations under this Section shall remain valid and effective even after the expiration of the Warranty Period, provided that the Purchaser has served the Indemnity Request set forth by Section 16.3 below prior to the expiration of the Warranty Period, regardless of the Liabilities being still potential as of such date, for as long as the amount claimed in the Indemnity Request will be finally due and paid. |

| (ix) | The indemnification obligations provided for by this Section 16 will be proportionally reduced of: |
| (A) | the full amount of any indemnification and/or payment awarded to the Purchaser and/or the Target from insurance companies or third parties (as insurance indemnification or under any other title, even contractual, as compensation for damages or under subrogation) in relation to events referring to the relevant Liabilities for which the Purchaser submitted an Indemnity Request, provided that any such indemnifications or payments shall be calculated, for the purpose of reducing the indemnification obligations of the Sellers under this Section 16, net of any costs, Taxes and expenses borne by the Purchaser and/or the Target to obtain any such indemnifications or payments; |
| (B) | the full amount of any Tax benefits actually realized, within the first financial year subsequent to the receipt of the indemnified amount by the Purchaser and/or the Target in relation to the relevant Liability, net of the Tax cost determined by the indemnified amount (i.e., net of the effects of the taxation, if any, of the indemnified amount); |
| (x) | The indemnification obligations provided for by this Section 16 shall be applied without duplications, it being understood that the Sellers shall not indemnify multiple times the same Liability (in case the same act, event or circumstance has already been indemnified as a result of the breach of another Sellers’ Representations and Warranties). |
| (xi) | The Parties hereby acknowledge and expressly agree that, after the First Closing Date, the indemnification obligations undertaken by the Sellers under this Section 16 shall replace and supersede any other right or remedy available to the Purchaser under law in connection with any Liabilities, and therefore constitute the sole and exclusive remedy available to the Purchaser in respect of any Liabilities suffered or incurred, on any ground whatsoever, by the Purchaser or by the Target, which the Purchaser or the Target would not have suffered or incurred had each of the Sellers’ Representations and Warranties been true and correct. Accordingly, the Purchaser hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all other rights, remedies, actions, powers or entitlements pursuant to law in the event of a breach of one or more of the Sellers’ Representations and Warranties. |
| 16.3 | Indemnity Request. Within 30 (thirty) Business Days from the relevant discovery by the Indemnified Party as set out under Section 16.1, under penalty of forfeiture (a pena di decadenza), the Indemnified Party shall send a notice of breach with an indemnity request (“Indemnity Request”) to the Indemnifiying Party with: |
| (i) | a detailed description of the reasons for which it is asserted such violation; |
| (ii) | the requested amount , if and to the extent it can be calculated, of the Liabilities and the manner in which such requested amount has been calculated together with any documentation proving such claim, |
