Michael DePrenda does not wantto accept the termination period of 6 months to theend of a calendar quarter. Michael DePrenda only runs for us in Taiwan only RIMOWA stores and argues that the 6-month termination period conceals a significant risk for him as he has entered into lease agreements that are also valid for longer than 6 months.716RIMOWA 6 6Could you please amend the termination period such that it relates to the respective lease terms of the individual shops? In the USA (Michael De Prenda also runs Mono stores there, but is not a Distributor as in Taiwan, onlyagent) there is already a similar agreement(see attachment) wherethe termination period relates tothe stores. 1251252100122371with respect to each Store 71011132112482497113171使RIMOWA滿1011231011311243245260269340941710122122125525734094171471滿13171RIMOWA1015323127127234194207121This Agreement shall not extend or renew unless, with respect to each Store,expressly agreed to in writing by the partieswith respect to each StoreA滿 24RIMOWARIMOWAA 71the partiesRIMOWARIMOWA 2301303 71the parties 212300000 1017 1021291 02352225229178179SOGO RIMOWASOGO 5.71 42 1.RIMOWARIMOWA542 71RIMOWARIMOWA1061129 RIMOWARIMOWARIMOWARIMOWA滿 2.1A910 1SOGO 107228107228107 131107228107228107331 107331滿RIMOWA1061129 RIMOWA10721742 1.722This Agreement may also be terminated early as follows[2.2] As a whole or with respect to any Store,by either party inthe event that the other party fails to perform or otherwise breaches any of its fundamental obligations under this Agreement,by giving notice of its intent to terminate and stating the grounds therefore.[2.2] 14361 fundamental obligations under this Agreement2 WHEREAS (Partner) intends to expand its scopeof business by engaging in distribution activitiesto final consumers in retail stores whose range will consist exclusively of RIMOWA products (hereinafter referred to as " Mono-Store " or " Mono-Stores ",respectively), while continuing its above-referencedoperations as a wholesale distributor.

This could certainly be done with a minor adjustment-but I am hesitating because I am concerned about the outcome: in my opinion RIMOWA is thereby placing itself entirely into the hands of M. DePrenda with respect to the contractual term(s)(also already under Section 13.11!). What if it would suit DePrenda to extend the contractual term(s) to 10 or 20 years? (he alone concludes the lease agreements!). Thus far I do not see any opportunity for influence by RIMOWA?!Or are specific agreements with established terms appended as an appendix (but there aren't any at all for Taiwan?!)? If RIMOWA nonetheless wishes to make the framework agreement as a whole non-terminable until expiry of the last Mono Store lease agreement "controlled" solely by DePrenda (prior to this no "termination of a location takes place in accordance with Section 13.1 but rather after expity of a fixed term the Mono Store agreement ends for this one location and both parties would have to agree a new/further applicability),in that case we should talk about the following options: - In principle binding of the term for each location to the lease agreement entered into by DePrenda for that location; but with the addition of an maximum time limit, e.g. 5/6/7/8... years from the start ofthe lease in question (if his investment can be amortized). After that the location in question ought to be terminated but with 6 monthsnotice. - However at least the two grounds arising from Section 13.2 in respect of the admissibility of a termination for cause (with or without a few months' notice) should be incorp orated as they are not at all provided for thus far in Article 7. 71RIMOWA/13.116調13.1RIMOWA1020RIMOWA RIMOWA使13.1滿/ -5/6/7/86 -13.27 2 The crucial remaining question is whether or to what extent RIMOWA wishes to comply with the desire of M.DePrenda to bind the term of the Mono-Store framework term agreement to the terms of the individual store lease agreements solely entered into (and controlled) by Ornatus. According to the list now available, 13 MonoStore shops are affected, with the tenancy beginning on 01.03 and 01,04.2012 for 2 of them. In this respect Ornatus has therefore already created precedents, in one case for approx. 4, but in one case for approx.7years! According to Art. 1 (3) of the draft, further shop , locations are supposed to require the prior written consent ofRIMOWA in order to be incorporated in the framework agreement. The other 11 sites have remaining terms of at most approx.4 years or were in some cases (5) only entered into for 1 year (in this respect I expect that Ornatus will extend these lease agreements very soon-hopefully again only by 1 year, which would not also be mandatory under the previous draft, however, as it would not involve a new location requiring consent). Therefore: If the 7 year lease agreement (Taichung WenShin FSS) does not pose a problem-the-4-year remaining terms ought to be acceptable(?) -then the provision in accordance with Section 13.1 of the US Dealer Agreement can be incorporated instead of Art.7(1) of the draft: as a result of this = after expiry of the respective fixed term the Mono Store agreement for this location ends (without termination) and both parties have to agree on a new/continued applicability (in that case therefore with an influence on the next term!). In my opinion this will require the inclusion in Appendix C (= Art. 1(1)) of not only the locations but also the fixed terms/lease periods that are now important according to the list that we have, and the new Art.7(1) also needs to be "linked" to Appendix C. Logically the partner Ornatus must discuss with RIMOWA whether and for how long the lease agreement is possibly intended to be renewed in a timely manner in advance before the respective expiry of a lease period.
