5.3 Locked Box

5.3.1 The Consideration is determined taking into consideration that the Sellers jointly:

(ii) undertake to procure that, from (and excluding) the Execution Date until (and including) the Closing Date (the “Interim Period”), there will be no Leakage, other than any Notified Leakages (as defined below).

and any remaining Leakage amount, at sole discretion of Nuburu and Nuburu Defense:

(b) shall reduce the Deferral Consideration payable to such Relevant Seller in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Note;

(c) shall be paid by the Relevant Seller to the Purchaser,

(d) shall be paid by the Relevant Seller to the Company,

provided that, in case of a Leakage is not attributable to a specific Seller or to its Related Parties, each Seller shall be deemed to have benefitted from any such Leakage pro quota and hence all the Sellers shall be deemed to be a “Relevant Seller” and the liability for any such Leakage shall be allocated pro quota between the Sellers.

5.3.3 One of the Sellers (also on behalf of the other Seller) shall notify Nuburu and Nuburu Subsidiary as soon as practicable upon becoming aware that any Leakage has occurred from the Locked Box Date until and including the Closing Date, specifying the nature of the Leakage (the “Notified Leakages”), the relevant amount and the amount of the relevant Notified Leakage (the “Notified Leakage Amount” and the “Notified Leakage Communication”).

5.3.4 For the sake of clarity, the Parties acknowledge that Nuburu and/or Nuburu Subsidiary will in any case be entitled to challenge the contents of the Notified Leakage Communication (thus the Notified Leakages and/or the Notified Leakage Amount) after the Closing Date pursuant to Paragraph 5.3.6 below.

5.3.5 If any Leakage (including – for the avoidance of any doubt – those Leakages which were not included for their full amount in the Notified Leakage Communication), has occurred or occurs in the period from (and excluding) the Locked Box Date until (and including) the Closing Date but was not deducted or withheld (as the case may be) from the Consideration as Notified Leakage, subject to the Closing having taken place, each

Relevant Seller shall pay, by way of indemnification on a USD per USD basis with no application of de minims, cap or other limitations, to Nuburu or, if so instructed by Nuburu, the Company the full amount of any Leakage so benefitted by the same Relevant Seller (or by any of their Related Party, as the case may be) that has not already been deducted or withheld (as the case may be) from the Consideration paid by Nuburu on the Closing Date to the same Relevant Sellers, in accordance with the timing and procedure set forth in Paragraph 5.3.6 below (any such Leakage not so deducted, an “Outstanding Leakage”).

(i) it shall act as expert (arbitratore), pursuant to Article 1349, first paragraph, and 1473, first paragraph of the Civil Code. Any decision of the Expert may be based on its equitable evaluation (equo apprezzamento e non con mero arbitrio), pursuant to Article 1349, first paragraph, of the Civil Code, it being understood that such equitable evaluation shall only be applied in case this Agreement does not provide an applicable rule or criteria or guidance for the resolution of the item(s) in dispute;

(v) Nuburu, Nuburu Subsidiary and the Relevant Seller(s) shall provide, and shall procure that their respective accountants and advisors provide, the Expert promptly with all the information and assistance it may reasonably require and the Expert shall be entitled to base its opinion on such information as well as on the accounting and on the other records of the Company;

(vi) the Expert shall provide detailed written explanations of its determination with respect to any item(s) remaining in dispute and shall render its determination in writing, as promptly as practicable, and in any case within 30 (thirty) Business Days following the acceptance of its mandate and such determination shall contain the assessment of the item(s) in dispute;

(vii) the determination of the Expert shall, in the absence of clear error or collusion (valutazione manifestamente erronea o malafede) pursuant to Article 1349 of the Civil Code, be final and binding among all the Parties; and

5.3.11 If any Outstanding Leakage agreed or determined is to be paid to Nuburu in accordance with the above, it shall be paid by the Relevant Seller(s) to Nuburu or, if so instructed by Nuburu in writing, to the Company, within 15 (fifteen) Business Days of the agreement of the Parties pursuant to Paragraph or the final determination in accordance with Paragraph 5.3.10 or the expiry of the above 30 (thirty) Business Days term from receipt of the Leakage Claim without any Disagreement Notice being received by Nuburu or Nuburu Subsidiary (as the case may be), it being understood that payments due by Relevant Seller(s) to the Purchaser under this Paragraph shall be due without duplication with respect to Sellers’ indemnification obligations set forth in Paragraph 10.

5.4.5 For the purposes of the determination of the Earn-Out (including the Change of Control Earn-Out), the Purchaser, within 30 (thirty) Business Days following the approval by the quotaholders’ meeting of the Financial Statements shall notify in writing to the Sellers the calculation of the Earn-Out according to the criteria set forth in the Schedule 5.4.1 (the “Purchaser’s Earn-Out Notice”).

5.4.6 The actual calculation of the Earn Out made by the Purchaser under the Purchaser’s Earn Out Notice shall be final and binding upon the Parties, unless a written notice of disagreement with respect thereto (the “Disagreement Earn Out Notice”) is served by the Sellers to the Purchaser within 30 (thirty) Business Day following the receipt of the Purchaser’s Earn Out Notice. The Disagreement Earn Out Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the reasons of the Sellers’ disagreement with respect to the calculation

of the Earn Out made under the Purchaser’s Notice (the contents of the Disagreement Earn Out Notice, the “Disputed Matters”).

5.4.7 If the Disagreement Earn Out Notice is timely served, the provisions under Paragraph from 5.3.9 and 5.3.10 shall apply mutatis mutandis.

5.4.8 If the Sellers do not send the Disagreement Earn Out Notice within the above 30 (thirty) Business Days, then the Earn Out calculated in the Purchaser’s Earn Out Notice shall be deemed irrevocably accepted by the Sellers.

10.2.5 The Sellers shall not be liable under this Agreement in respect of any Losses connected with any Claim of Indemnity (as defined below) to the extent that the relevant Loss was caused by an act, decision or omission of Nuburu Subsidiary and that would have not arisen without such act, decision or omission of Nuburu Subsidiary.

If none of the Sellers gives such notice of challenge of the Claim of Indemnity within the term set out above, the relevant Claim of Indemnity shall conclusively become a liability of the Sellers hereunder.

(b) the Sellers, to the extent permitted by the applicable Law, shall be entitled to take part, at their own expenses, in the defense of the Third Party Claim by Nuburu Subsidiary (or the Company) and have the right to appoint, at their own expenses, a lawyer who may co-operate with the lawyers appointed by Nuburu Subsidiary (or by the Company), it being understood that the defense shall be led by Nuburu Subsidiary and/or the Company and any final decision (including as to the conduct of the claim and the execution of any settlement) will be taken by Nuburu Subsidiary and/or the Company only; alternatively

(c) in case any of the Sellers communicate to Nuburu Subsidiary their intention to indemnify the latter with regard to the Losses suffered by Nuburu Subsidiary or the Companies in connection with a Third Party Claim, then the Sellers shall be entitled to manage, at their own expenses, the defense of such Third-Party Claim and shall have the right to appoint, at its own expenses, the lawyer(s) who shall
