Share of nominal DKK 1 (the “Purchase Price”). If Closing has not been completed on 28 February 2018, the Purchase Price is to be increased by an amount equivalent to 0.25% of the Purchase Price per full calendar month as from 1 March 2018 and until Closing (the “Purchase Price Increase”).

Page 15 Of Directors shall as soon as possible and no later than thirty (30) Business Days from the submission by the Buyer provide notice to the Buyer if the Board Of Directors have any objections to such calculation.

1347544-20 BHO CLE 23.01.2018

Page 24 the Buyer’s Loss is attributable to matters, facts or circumstances within the Buyer’s Knowledge at the Signing Date or at the Closing Date, see Clause 12.1.

1347544-20 BHO CLE 23.01.2018

Page 25 be prevented from applying ordinary or customary calculation methods to determine a Loss in the event of any recurring items.

14.3.4 When calculating a Loss of the Buyer due to a Breach by the Sellers, the following princi-ples apply to the calculation:

(a) the effect of any realised or actual imminent and calculable tax benefit or saving by the Buyer or any Group Company (save for the Company) within three (3) years of the relevant Breach shall be deducted;

(b) the amount of any compensation or other recovery (including, without limitation, any insurance proceeds) to which the Buyer or any Group Company (save for the Company) is entitled to shall be deducted. If the Sellers have settled a claim and the Buyer, or any Group Company (save for the Company), subsequently recovers any payment or compensation with respect to such claim, the Buyer shall immediately transfer to the Sellers the amount so recovered until the amount settled by the Sell-er has been reimbursed;

(c) the occurrence of or the increase of a Loss attributable to any change in the applica-ble Law, or any change in tax rates, or accounting principles adopted after the Sign-ing Date shall be disregarded;

Any claim less than the Lower Threshold shall, therefore, not be taken into account for the calculation of the Basket Amount, cf. Clause 14.3.7.

14.3.7 The Seller shall incur no liability in respect of Losses suffered by the Buyer due to a Breach, unless the aggregate amount of such Losses as finally determined exceeds an amount of DKK [●] (the “Basket Amount”), and the Sellers shall in such event, be liable only for the amount of Losses exceeding the Basket Amount.

14.3.8 In no event shall the aggregate indemnification payable by the Sellers in respect of any Loss related to a Breach exceed an amount of [●] (the “Cap”).

(a) a Loss resulting from a Breach of one or more of the Sellers' Warranties in the na-ture of civil or criminal fines, in which case the Sellers shall indemnify the Buyer in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, but only to the extent that the Buyer has been unable to recover the relevant Loss under the W&I Insur-ance;

14.5.4 For the avoidance of doubt and subject to Clause 14.5.2 the Buyer shall have no claim or recourse against the Sellers for a breach of any of the Sellers’ Warranties that may be ex-cluded from coverage under the W&I Insurance on the account of the content of the Bring Down of Disclosures.
