There is also a non-compete and non-solicitation agreement in place throughout the term the Employment Relationship and for 12 months after its termination. The gross fee for that noncompete agreement is EUR 185,000 (one hundred and eighty-five thousand/00), to be paid in equal instalments on a monthly basis with effect from the termination of the Employment Relationship. In the event of a breach, including partial, of the non-compete or non-solicitation obligations, the Manager will be required, for each breach committed, to pay to the Company, by way of a nonreducible penalty, a sum equal to twice the abovementioned non-compete agreement fee, without prejudice, however, to any greater damages and any other right and action of the Company and/or the Group. For the entire duration of the role of Director and of any other roles in Group companies (if held) and for a period of 12 months after the termination, for any reason whatsoever, of the same, the rules of the non-compete agreement (with the express exclusion of the provisions relating to the non-compete agreement fee) and of the non-solicitation agreement envisaged by the Employment Relationship shall apply mutatis mutandis (including the independent application to the work relationships of the penalty envisaged in the event of breach of the respective obligations) also to the role of Director and to any other roles in Group companies (if held).
It is also envisaged that Mr Mazzantini will receive non-monetary benefits, such as an insurance policy to cover the third-party civil liability of management bodies (in addition to general managers and executives with strategic responsibilities) in the exercise of their functions and, with regard to the Employment Relationship, the allotment of a car for mixed use and, for the first five years of the employment contract, the provision of a free loan apartment to the Manager, the costs of which will be borne by the Company up to a maximum annual amount of EUR 40,000. The Manager has also accepted an exclusivity obligation for the entire duration of the overall relationship, thus being precluded from carrying out activities (including non-competitive) for third parties, directly or indirectly and in any form, unless otherwise authorised in writing by the Company.

Upon termination of the role of Director, for any reason whatsoever, Mr Gianluca Mazzantini shall be entitled to the payment of a severance indemnity equal to 7.5% of all sums paid to him by way of a fixed fee and a variable fee for the role of CEO, all gross of any applicable withholding and charge by law.
Finally, a lump-sum and all-inclusive indemnity will be paid to the Manager in the good leaver circumstances contractually envisaged and in line with market practice (dismissal not for disciplinary and/or subjective reasons, revocation without just cause of the role of Director and/or of the powers attributed in relation to the Employment Relationship and/or the role of CEO, change without the Manager's consent or without just cause of the powers attributed in relation to the Employment Relationship and/or the role of CEO, which substantially limits the Manager's powers, resignation for just cause ascertained by a final judgement, resignation from the Employment Relationship due to and in connection with the non-renewal of the role of Director and CEO to be exercised within 30 days of the non-renewal), subject to the Manager signing a conciliation report in one of the venues indicated in Article 2113 of the Italian Civil Code that covers (i) the termination of the Employment Relationship and of any other work relationship with the Company and/or the Group (including the role of CEO and any other roles in Group companies, if held); (ii) the Manager's waiver of any claim connected with, vicarious to, or even merely occasioned by the performance and termination of the aforementioned relationships - of employment and administration - with the Company and/or the Group with respect to said companies. That indemnity will be calculated according to the following formula: (annual fee in connection with the Employment Relationship) + (annual fixed fee for the role of Director) + (annual fixed fee for the role of CEO) + (annual average of the variable fee in connection with the role of CEO received in the last 36 months of the overall relationship or in the shorter period of duration of the same, with the exclusion from the aforesaid calculation therefore of any sum, element of value and/or utility accrued, received and/or assigned to the Manager in execution of and/or in connection with the stock incentive plan), all divided by twelve and multiplied by 18.
All other cases of termination of the Employment Relationship and/or of the role of Director and/or CEO - occurring at any time - shall be considered to be bad leaver circumstances in relation to which the Manager shall not be entitled to the payment of the indemnity described above.
