Anyone receiving such documents shall not distribute or send them in the Excluded Countries.

No instrument may be offered or sold in the Excluded Countries without specific authorization in accordance with the applicable provisions of the local law of said Excluded Countries or without derogation from the same provisions. Tendering in the Offer by parties residing in jurisdictions other than Italy may be subject to specific obligations or restrictions imposed by applicable legal or regulatory provisions of such jurisdictions.
