12.2 The SELLER reserves the right to assign, in whole or in part, its own credit to third parties in
relation to the payment of sums owed by the BUYER in accordance with this Contract, without
the BUYER’s consent being required, and it is understood that, with regard to providing notice
of any such assignment, to the extent necessary so as to ensure a valid and effective
assignment of the credit, a simple written notice thereof to the BUYER shall suffice.

12.3 It is understood that, in the event of assignment of the aforementioned credit, the SELLER
shall have the right to transfer, in whole or in part, to the assignee of the credit also the rights
in the previous Art. 5 (Retention of Title). Should there be no transfer of these rights to the
assignee of the credit, in the event of a breach by the BUYER of the obligations of payment
provided for by this Contract, the rights may be exercised by the Seller, directly or via an
agent.

ARTICLE 13 - MISCELLANEOUS

13.1 All modifications and additions to this Contract shall be valid on condition that that they are
drawn up in writing and signed by the duly authorized representatives of both parties hereto.

13.2 This Contract is the entire agreement of the parties hereto and supersedes any and all other
prior oral and written agreements and correspondence in respect of the subject matter hereof.

13.3 Any right of industrial or intellectual property in relation to the elements which form the supply
pursuant to this Contract shall remain owned exclusively by the SELLER.

13.4 In the event that the terms provided under paragraph (b) of the preamble to the general
conditions of this Contract are not fulfilled within 180 (one hundred and eighty) days as of the
date of signing of this Contract by the parties, the SELLER shall be entitled to amend the sale
prices and/or to terminate this Contract, even without informing the BUYER.

13.5 The terms of Article 6 of these General Conditions of Sale shall also apply to all future supplies
of spare parts provided by the SELLER to the BUYER, unless otherwise agreed in writing by
the parties by means of an express derogation or by signing agreements incompatible with
the text of said terms.

13.6 The SELLER shall be entitled to suspend or terminate this Contract, by means of a written
communication to the BUYER, even with immediate effect:
a) in the event that the BUYER fails to duly fulfil its obligations of payment of the price (in
particular with regard to the advance payment, the opening of documentary credits, the
issuing of guarantees, the despatch of the credit instruments even in fiduciary deposit and
other operation of financial nature); as well as
b) in the event that the BUYER is subject to a procedure of insolvency, or should its assets
change substantially so as to clearly endanger the ability of the BUYER to carry out its
obligations hereunder.
In relation to possible delays exceeding 45 (forty-five) days in the contractual payments to be
paid by the BUYER following a notice that the goods are ready, the SELLER shall be entitled –
by way of alternative to the termination of the Contract – to resell to third parties the goods
ready for shipment (and to make any possible modifications to said goods for such purpose)
and to re-determine the time schedules for delivery/shipment of said goods and possibly the
entire supply pursuant to this Contract. Said new time schedules for delivery/shipment (and
new time schedules for the fulfilment of the SELLER’s other obligations in accordance with the
terms hereof) shall run from the date of communication to the BUYER of the SELLER’s decision
to avail itself of the above right and shall not be longer than the time periods originally agreed,
without prejudice to the right to compensation for any possible damages. The BUYER shall be
obliged to comply with the new time schedules determined by the SELLER pursuant to the
above provisions and communicated in writing to the BUYER by the SELLER.

prejudice to the SELLER’s right to claim compensation for any further damages suffered.

of the same nature, be they present of future which may be due in the BUYER’s country (or in
any case, in the country where the machinery are installed), shall be borne by the BUYER, and
if needs be, the BUYER shall pay the SELLER any such sum and shall not be entitled to the
