The costs for the notarization (if any) of the related agreements shall be borne by the Seller. |
| f.) | If the Seller exercises the Unwind Option, the Purchaser shall not have any claim against the Seller or the Target Group Companies for damages, indemnification or any other cost compensation or remuneration. |
| g.) | If the Seller exercises the Unwind Option, all unpaid amounts due to the Purchase Price, shall be forgiven. |
| h.) | Should the Seller not exercise the Unwind Option within the Unwind Option Exercise Period, then (i) the Unwind Option will be forgiven and expire without any compensation, and (ii) all unpaid amounts due on the Purchase Price, shall be forgiven. |

| (v) | No Ongoing Obligation. |
Seller shall have no obligation to provide any accounting, HR, IT, or other operational services to Purchaser or the Target Group Companies following the expiration of the applicable transition periods.

| (2) | In case of Section 10.2(b) the Purchaser after the Closing has taken and will take, to the extent commercially reasonable and consistent with the ordinary-course operation of the German Target Group Companies, reasonable steps to mitigate any Taxes.

| (3) | The Purchaser shall, and shall procure (steht dafür ein) that the German Target Group Companies, (i) promptly notify the Seller in writing of (A) the receipt (including, but not limited to, by way of set-off or deduction) of any Tax Refund and (B) the occurrence of any Overprovision and (ii) upon the Seller’s written request deliver to the Seller within six (6) months following such request a written statement of a reputable audit firm (Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft) nominated by the Seller confirming that the Purchaser has fully complied with these notification obligations, including a confirmation of the notified amounts. |

Further, Purchaser shall cause the German Target Group Companies to also prepare their respective 2026 Tax Return reflecting income relative to the Shareholder Loan Waiver as directed by Seller’s professionals.

In any case, the Purchaser shall not, and shall cause the German Target Group Companies not to furnish any information relating to any Relevant Tax Proceedings or settle any Relevant Tax Proceeding or to let them become time-barred without the prior written consent of the Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. |

If any part of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such determination shall not invalidate any other provision of this Agreement. However, the Parties hereto shall attempt, through negotiations in good faith, to replace any part of this Agreement so held to be invalid or unenforceable in order to give effect to the commercial intentions of the Parties when signing this Agreement. The failure of the Parties to reach an agreement on a replacement provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement. The preceding shall apply mutatis mutandis to any gap that may be found to exist in this Agreement. The legal principle contained in section 139 of the German Civil Code, including in the sense of a reversal of the burden of proof, shall not apply.
