GENERAL CONDITIONS OF SALE - WANNENES 1. GENERAL TERMS 1.1 Taking part in an Auction, both as Buyer and Seller, implies the entire and unconditional acceptance of the Conditions of Sale outlined in our catalogues and published on the website of WANNENES ART AUCTIONS (hereinafter ART AUCTIONS or Auction House). In the event of a change in the aforementioned conditions, the wording in force ratione temporis at the time of the auction itself, for the Buyer, or of the assignment of the mandate to sell, for the Seller, will prevail. Bidders and Sellers are required to read carefully this section containing the purchase terms of the lots for sale. 1.2 The objects may be sold in lots or individually according to the final opinion of ART AUCTIONS. The Auctions will be held in premises that are open to the pu- blic and/or online by ART AUCTIONS which acts simply as agent in the name and interests of each Seller (the name of the said Seller is written in all the Registers re- quired by Law). The sale directly concerns the Purchaser and the Seller. ART AUC- TIONS does not assume any responsibility in relation to the Purchaser, the Seller or any third party concerned. 2. BEFORE THE AUCTION 2.1 - ESTIMATES Beside each lot description in the catalogue there is an indication of the Estimate for potential Buyers. This Estimate cannot constitute any reliance on the Buyer. All the lots, depending on market interest, may achieve prices that are either superior to or inferior to the indicated Estimates. The Estimates relative to the initial sale pri- ce, indicated beneath the description of each item in the catalogue, are intended as net and do not include, for example, the commissions (Buyer?s Premium), taxes etc. Since the printing time of the catalogue requires price Estimates in advance, these latter may be subject to change, as may also the description of the items. Each and every change will be communicated by the Auctioneer before the beginning of the Auction in relation to each item concerned. The lot/s will, however, only be sold upon reaching the reserve price. 2.2 - RESERVE The reserve price corresponds to the minimum price agreed upon between ART AUCTIONS and the Seller, beneath which the lot will not be sold. Lots offered wi- thout reserve are indicated in the catalogue with the Estimate in red color or with the wording O.L. These lots are sold to the highest bidder independently of the pu- blished Estimates. 2.3 - VIEWING BEFORE THE AUCTION Where communicated, each Auction is preceded by a free open viewing. Opening times are shown in the first pages of each catalogue and on the ART AUCTIONS website. The viewing enables all Buyers to undertake an appropriate examination of the lots for sale and to verify all aspects related to the lot, such as authenticity, state of preservation, materials, etc. In case of auctions that take place exclusively online, ART AUCTIONS Experts are available to send Condition Reports and addi- tional photographs to potential Buyers, being understood that the opinion of our Experts is not binding and does not replace the judgment of the Buyers. 2.4 - CONDITION OF THE LOTS The lots are sold in their current state. We recommend, therefore, that potential Buyers check the condition of the lot/s, as well as the type of lot/s being offered, before the Sale. The Experts will be happy to provide upon request Condition Reports on the state of preservation. The descriptions in the catalogues merely represent the opinion of the Experts and may be subject to further revisions that will, in due cour- se, be given to the public during the Auction. 2.5 - WATCHES AND CLOCKS Clocks and watches offered for sale are used and/or vintage items, and as such, are offered exclusively in their original condition and condition at the time of auction, without any prior inspection of the movements, internal mechanisms, or functional components. Specifically, ART AUCTIONS provides no warranty, express or implied, regarding the proper functioning of the movements (mechanical, automatic, quartz, or otherwise), the accuracy of the timepiece, its continuity over time, or the integrity or durability of the internal components, including escapements, balance wheels, gear trains, barrels, springs, electronic circuits, and lubricated parts. The clocks or watches are not subjected to functional tests, nor are mechanical inspections, water resistance tests, replacement of worn parts, or any other work normally performed by a service centre or specialised dealer. Therefore, no warranty of functionality is provided, either immediately or after the sale, as might otherwise be the case in retail outlets. Any indications in the catalogue or description such as "working," "running at the time of inspection," "not working," or similar, are merely informative and reflect an instantaneous finding made by the expert during the preliminary inspection or during the condition report ("CR"). Specifically, the term "not working" is used when the expert observes an obvious failure to start or an immediate malfunction. The lack of indications does not constitute a presumption of proper functioning, and even if a clock or a watch appears to be working at the time of inspection, it does not in any way exclude the possibility that it may subsequently stop without warning. Movements, especially those with lubricated mechanical parts, may exhibit wear, drying of lubricants, play between gears, or other factors that make it impossible to predict continued operation. The bidder therefore fully accepts that the watch is sold "as is," acknowledging that all risks relating to its operation, the need for servicing, and any replacement of components are the sole responsibility of the buyer, and that ART AUCTIONS cannot be held responsible for any malfunctions, sudden stops, variations in rate, or faults that occur before, during, or after the sale. 2.6 - WINES AND SPIRITS Wines and Spirits are described with as much accuracy as can be ascertained at the time of publication of the catalogues, however potential Buyers must take into consideration any natural variations in levels, conditions of the cases, labels, corks and the wines or spirits themselves. No returns will be accepted. 2.7 - PAINTINGS By participating in the auction, the Buyer expressly releases the Auction House from any liability and/or warranty in relation to the state of preservation of the frames of the artworks until the time of delivery to the Buyer. In particular, the participant declares to be perfectly informed that the frame was neither an element for the formation of the price nor a decision-making element for the purchase, conside- ring its presence, or its lack, irrelevant. The Auction House will be responsible for the state of preservation of the frame only if it has provided, following a formal re- quest, a Condition Report (within the limits of the omitted indication of any significant deficiencies that determine a significant change in the value of the painting itself ). The Buyer expressly exempts the Auction House from any liability and guarantee whatsoever in relation to the colors of the paintings, which may be different from those perceived by a direct view. Anyhow, we suggest to ask for a Condition Re- port and photos in addition to those already present on the website and in the ca- talogue. 2.8 - TERMINOLOGY AND ATTRIBUTION Statements concerning the author, attribution, origin, period, provenance and con- ditions of the lot/s in the Catalogue are to be considered as the personal opinion of the Experts and Scholars who may have been consulted and do not necessari- ly represent fact. TITIAN: in our opinion, the work is the work of the artist. ATTRIBUTED TO TITIAN: in our opinion, the work is probably by the artist, but the- re is no absolute certainty. TITIAN?S WORKSHOP/STUDIO: in our opinion, the work is made by an unknown pain- ter working in the artist?s workshop/studio who may or may not have undertaken the painting under the artist?s supervision. TITIAN?S CIRCLE: in our opinion, the work is made by an unknown painter who is in some way connected or associated to the artist, although not necessarily a pu- pil of the artist. STYLE OF/FOLLOWER OF TITIAN: in our opinion, the work is made by a painter who was contemporary or almost contemporary to the artist, working in the same sty- le of the artist, without being necessarily connected to him by an artist-pupil re- lationship. MANNER OF TITIAN: in our opinion, the work has been carried out in the style of the artist but subsequent to the period of the artist. FROM TITIAN: in our opinion, the work is a copy of a painting by the artist. IN THE STYLE OF...: in our opinion, the work is in the style mentioned, however from a later period. SIGNED?DATED?

BEARING SIGNATURE?DATE?INSCRIPTION: in our opinion, the signature and/or date and/or inscription have been added. The dimensions supplied are height first, followed by width. 2.9 - OTHER NOTICES Every lot with any electric equipment is sold as "not working" and it should be to- tally re-conditioned. ART AUCTIONS is not responsible for any incorrect, wrong use of sold lots or for any non-compliance with instructions. The words ?....year.....? or the date quoted in the lots description indicates the beginning of production of the said lot, unless otherwise specified. The descriptive image in the catalogue and website might not faithfully represent the lots at auction. The Auction House al- ways recommends directly viewing the lots before making any bids. In case it is not possible to have a view of the lot/s in person, prospective Buyers may request a Condition Report in order to receive additional and detailed images of the lot/s. 2.10 - USE OF IMAGES Buyers and Sellers expressly authorize ART AUCTIONS to use freely and at no cost the photographs depicting the lots being auctioned for any purpose whatsoever, none excluded and/or excepted, including for example but not limited to, adver- tising, diffusion via internet and/or by any other means, publication in the Maga- zines of the Auction House or published by third parties, 3. HOW TO PARTICIPATE 3.1 - TAKING PART IN THE AUCTION Taking part in an Auction may occur by being present in the Auction Room, con- nected online or through written or telephone bids that ART AUCTIONS will be hap- py to execute in the name and on behalf of potential Buyers. This service is free of charge and, therefore, the Auction House bears no form of responsibility for this service. ART AUCTIONS will, therefore, not be responsible for any bids inadvertently not executed or for errors related to their execution. ART AUCTION may ask new Buyers for adequate bank references. 3.2 - PARTICIPATION FORM In order to guarantee the highest levels of transparency during the Auction for all those intending to place bids, prospective Bidders are required to fill out a parti- cipation form with personal information and bank details. ART AUCTIONS reserves the right to check on the details/references provided and to refuse those who might not be welcome. Upon completion of the form, ART AUCTIONS will supply a num- bered identification paddle which will have to be shown to the Auctioneer in or- der to place a bid. Customers choosing to participate online will have to create their account in WANNENES plus, fill in the relevant online forms and provide all the in- formation requested. As a partial derogation of the above, ART AUCTIONS may ac- cept Bids if a sum equal to the value of the lot/s requested, plus commissions, taxes and expenses is deposited as guarantee. In case this Bid is successful, the Buyer will communicate immediately his complete personal and tax data. 4. DURING THE AUCTION 4.1 - BIDDING IN PERSON In order to bid in person, potential Buyers have to register and collect a bidding number by filling out the Bidding Form and providing a valid document of iden- tification and tax code number. All lots sold will be invoiced to the name and ad- dress supplied when collecting the bidding number and they will not be able to be transferred to other names and/or addresses. Should a potential Buyer wish to bid on behalf of a third party, he/she should inform ART AUCTIONS before the be- ginning of the Auction, and expressly receive a written authorization. 4.2 - ABSENTEE AND TELEPHONE BIDS ART AUCTIONS may accept absentee bids (by means both of written as well as te- lephone bids) that will be undertaken by the Auctioneer, in direct competition with those present in the Auction Room. Should there be a case of identical bids, the written bid will prevail upon the oral bid. In order to bid by written or telephone bids, potential Buyers have to fill out the Absentee Bids Form issued in the cata- logue and /or in our website wannenesgrroup.com and send it to the Auction Hou- se at least seven hours before the beginning of the Auction. Bids must be in euro and do not include Buyer?s Premium, charges and taxation as established by the current Law, which therefore must be added. Absentee bids are carried out on behalf of the bidder at the lowest price possible in consideration of the reserve price and the other bids received by the Auction House. In the absence of a higher bid, written bids undertaken on lots without a reserve (indicated by the Estimate in red or by the letters O.L.) will be sold at ap- proximately 50% of the lowest estimate or at the figure corresponding to the bid, even though lower than 50% of the lowest Estimate. Telephone bids are organi- zed by ART AUCTIONS within the limits of phone line availability and exclusively for lots with a maximum Estimate of no less than 500 euro. Telephone calls during the Auction may be recorded. Potential Buyers who bid by telephone consent to the recording of their conversations. ART AUCTIONS will not be responsible in any case for any problems of any nature that may occur during the telephone connec- tion. 4.3 - ONLINE BIDDING It is possible to participate online, either by registering in the appropriate section of ART AUCTIONS website and registering for the relevant auction, or through other external platforms. When the auction session is open, potential Buyers can enter the online room and place their bids. ART AUCTIONS is not responsible in any case for any problem or inconvenience of any nature that may occur during the con- nection, the hammer price and paddle number pronounced by the Auctioneer and transcribed in his appropriate Register will be considered as binding. 4.4 - HAMMER PRICE Lots are sold to the highest bidder for cash. The Hammer Price indicates that a sale of a lot has been made and from that moment the Buyer assumes full responsibi- lity for the lot. In addition to the hammer price, the Buyer shall pay ART AUCTIONS the auction fees (Buyer?s Premium) and tax charges required by current laws. Should any disputes arise among more than one Buyers, the Auctioneer (his/her decision is final) will put the object up for sale once more so it can be purchased again in the same sale. In any case, the Buyers who disputed the former sale of the item in question are still bound by the initial bid (which gave rise to the subsequent sale of the item. In the event of a new bid not being made, the Auctioneer, at his sole discretion, will communicate who is to be considered the successful Buyer of the lot/s. In case of any transfer to third parties of the purchased lot/s by the Buyer, ART AUCTION will consider the successful bidder as the sole person responsible for pay- ment. Bidding at Auction in the name of and on behalf of third parties may be ac- cepted only by providing ART AUCTIONS with adequate bank references as well as a power of attorney ad negotia at least three days before the Auction. 4.5 - BIDS PRIORITY In case of two identical written bids, which are not exceeded by bids in the sale- room or by telephone, ART AUCTION will consider the one submitted first to be the successful one. ART AUCTIONS reserves the right to refuse, at its sole discre- tion, bids from unknown and/or unwelcome Buyers. 4.6 - AUCTION HOUSE AND AUCTIONEER?S RIGHTS ART AUCTIONS reserves the right to withdraw any lot/s from the Auction. The Auc- tioneer opens the Auction beginning with the bid that s/he believes to be the most opportune, based upon both the value of the lot/s as well as the competing bids. The Auctioneer may make further bids or in response to other bids, until the re- serve price is reached. The Auctioneer, during the Auction, may group together or separate lot/s and vary the order of the sale. The Auctioneer may ? at his/her sole discretion ? withdraw lot/s that do not reach the reserve price agreed upon bet- ween ART AUCTIONS and the Seller. 5. BUYER?S PREMIUM AND THE ARTIST?S RESALE RIGHT 5.1 - BUYER?S PREMIUM In addition to the hammer price, the Buyers agree to pay to ART AUCTIONS a Buye- r?s Premium on the Hammer Price of each lot sold, V.A.T. included.

This represents the right of the Author/Artist (living or deceased within the previous seventy years) of figurative art works and manu- scripts to perceive a percentage of the sale price of his/her original works upon tho- se sales taking place following the initial sale of the work/s in question. Resale Ro- yalties will be charged to the Seller where the hammer price is 3.,000.00 Euro or more and will not be superior to 12,500.00 Euro per lot. The amount to be paid is de- termined as follows: ? 4% of the Hammer Price up to and including 50,000 euro. ? 3% on that part of the Hammer Price over 50,000,01 and up to and including 200,000 euro. ? 1% on that part of the Hammer Price over 200,000,01 and up to and including 350,000 euro. ? 0.5% on that part of the Hammer Price over 350,000,01 and up to and including 500,000 euro. ? 0.25% for the sale price above 500,000 euro. The Artist?s Resale Right charged to the Seller will be paid by ART AUCTIONS to the SIAE (The Italian Society for Authors and Editors) as laid down by Law. 6. RESPONSIBILITY ART AUCTIONS acts exclusively as the agent for the Sellers and bears no respon- sibility in terms of descriptions of the items in the Catalogues or in any other illu- strated publication. All the descriptions of items are intended purely as illustrati- ve and indicative. They may not generate any form of reliance as far as the Buyer is concerned. The Auction will be preceded by a public viewing of the items in or- der to allow for a careful examination of the lot/s on behalf of prospective Buyers. In this way, potential Buyers will have the opportunity to and be responsible for a complete examination of all the qualities of the item/s in question: for example, the authenticity, the state of preservation, the type, the material of the items being auc- tioned. After the purchase, no one will be able to dispute or criticize ART AUCTIONS or the Sellers for the lack of any form of quality in reference to the object being auc- tioned. ART AUCTIONS and its employees/consultants will not issue any guaran- tee of authenticity. All indications concerning to the carats and the weight of me- tals or precious stones, as well as their relative marks, are merely indicative. ART AUC- TIONS is not responsible for any potential errors or falsifications. Notwithstanding any potential reference to descriptions by experts external to the Auction House, ART AUCTIONS does not either guarantee the accuracy or the authenticity of such comments. 7.

The implementation of the TEMIS File and its use by ART AUCTIONS is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interest of those registered with the TEMIS service to prevent unpaid debts and thus guarantee the correct conduct of auction sales. Buyers are informed that if their purchases are not regularized within the establi- shed deadlines, ART AUCTIONS may start a registration procedure in the File itself. This registration will contain personal data and purchase documents. Registration in the TEMIS File may have the consequence of limiting the ability of buyers to bid at auction houses registered with the TEMIS service. In such cases, this shall also result in temporary suspension of access to the www.interencheres.com live ser- vices, operated by CPM, in accordance with the general terms of use for this plat- form. Where a bidder is listed on the TEMIS File, ART AUCTIONS may make access to auc- tions contingent on the use of payment methods or specific guarantees, or it may prevent the Bidder from participating in auctions for which such guarantees can- not be provided. Bidders can find out if they are listed on the TEMIS File, contest their TEMIS File li- sting, or exercise their rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction or objection under applicable data protection legislation, by submitting a request in writing ac- companied by proof of identity in the form of a copy of a relevant identity docu- ment: ? For listings added by ART AUCTIONS SRL: by post to WANNENES ART AUCTIONS SRL via Albaro 11 - 16145 Genova or email info@wannenesgroup.com ? For listings added by other Professional Subscribers: by post to CPM, 14 rue des Py- ramides, 75001, or by email to contact@temis.auction. Important notifications relating to the auction process will be sent to the email and/or postal address that the Bidder provides the auctioneer at the time of auction. Bid- ders must notify ART AUCTIONS of any changes to their contact details. By participating in the auction, buyers expressly authorize ART AUCTION to tran- smit data to CPM as specified above. 8. DELIVERY AND STORAGE 8.1 - LOTS DELIVERY The Buyer, after having paid all the sums due, must collect the lot/s acquired wi- thin fifteen working days of the Auction date, at his/her own risk and expense, in full consideration of the opening hours of ART AUCTIONS. When collecting the lot/s, the Buyer must provide ART AUCTIONS with a valid document of identity. Should the Buyer request a third party to collect the lot/s already paid for, the latter should possess a written permission signed by the Buyer and a copy of the Buyer??s document of identity. The lot/s will be given to the Buyer or to the third party only upon pay- ment made in full. Buyers and Sellers expressly recognize to the Auction House the right to retain the lot/s until all sums due to ART AUCTIONS have been paid in full. 8.2 - STORAGE Should the Buyer not collect the lot/s within the aforementioned deadline, ART AUC- TIONS will store them at the sole risk and expense of the Buyer, in the premises for a further five working days. After this period, ART AUCTIONS will relocate the item/s (at the Buyer?s own risk and expense) to any warehouse deemed most appropria- te. The Auction House will inform the Buyer of the place where the item/s are kept. It is clearly understood that in order to collect the object/s the Buyer will have to pay, in addition to the Hammer Price plus Buyer?s Premium etc, any refund due to subsequent expenses incurred by the Auction House. If purchased lot/s are collected after the aforementioned deadline, the Auction Hou- se may debit the costs of storage (by month or part of a month) as follows: ? 100 euro + VAT for furniture ? 50 euro + VAT for paintings ? 25 euro + VAT for works of art and all other lots in general. Storage costs for cars and motorcycles are specifically quoted in the relevant ca- talogues. 9. SHIPPING AND EXPORT 9.1 - SHIPPING OF LOTS ART AUCTIONS team will be glad to ship lots purchased according to written in- structions given by the Buyer, after full payment of the invoice. Shipping will be at the risk and expense of the Buyer who, by means of a written communication, will have to release ART AUCTIONS from any responsibility concerning this operation. Furthermore, our team is available for evaluations and advice in relation to the ship- ping methods employed and insurance of the lot/s. 9.2 - EXPORT The Law Decree no. 42 of January 22nd 2004 regulates the export of cultural he- ritage and goods outside the Republic of Italy. The EU Regulation no. 3911/92 of December 9th 1992, as modified by EU Regulation no. 2469/96 of December 16th 1996 and by EU Regulation no. 974/01 of May 14th 2001, regulates the export of cultural heritage and goods outside the European Union. In order to export out- side Italy cultural heritage and goods that are over 70 years old need an Export Li- cense that the Buyer has to procure for him/herself personally. ART AUCTIONS is not involved in the procurement of such permits and cannot therefore guarantee the relative issue of such permits. ART AUCTIONS, upon the request of the Buyer and at his name, may undertake the operations necessary for the granting of the Export License according to the following tariffs: - Euro 200 + IVA for each single lot or the first lot of a total hammer price value of more than euro 5.000 for paperwork - Euro 100 + IVA for each single lot or the first lot of a total hammer price value equal to euro 5.000 or less for paperwork including form-filling, taxation stamps and photographic (colour) documentation. Should the above-mentioned authorisation not be granted the Buyer of the lot/s is not cancelled, neither is the payment of the lot/s, unless prior agreement with ART AUCTIONS was made before the Auction. With reference to the regulations con- tained in art. 8, 1st paragraph, letter B DPR 633/72. Buyers have to respect the fol- lowing procedures should they wish to take the lot/s outside the European Union and claim the VAT refund: - completion of CUSTOMS forms/papers and transport outside the European Union within three months from the invoice date. - sending within the same term of the original customs taxation stamp or equivalent document directly to ART AUCTIONS. The above legislative indications refer to the regulations in force. It is the sole re- sponsibility of the Buyer to inform itself about any legislative changes and/or inac- curacies. ART AUCTIONS assumes no responsibility in this respect. 9.3 - POSSIBLE RESTRICTIONS Everybody has to respect the current Laws within the State where the Auction is held. In particular, ART AUCTIONS assumes no responsibility in relation to poten- tial restrictions concerning the export of purchased items and/or in relation to li- censes or permits that the Buyer might have to request on the basis of current Laws. The Buyer will not be able to request any refund either from the Seller or from ART AUCTIONS should the State exercise its right to pre-emption or any other right it may possess. The rights accrued in relation to a sale that should be cancelled due to the denial of authorization to export due to different opinions between the cul- tural authorities concerned are, nevertheless, to be paid by the Seller to Art Auc- tions, even if the permission was not given because the Seller did not previously inform ART AUCTIONS of the existence of authorization (for export) given by the relevant authority upon the request of the Seller him/herself. 10. CLAIMS In the event of claims proving to be well-founded and accepted by ART AUCTIONS subsequent to the sale of false items, the Auction House may, at its own discretion, declare the sale null and void and, where a request is made in the manner and wi- thin the limits of the law, reveal the name of the Seller to the Buyer. The Buyer may make use of this Article only and exclusively in the case that s/he has notified ART AUCTIONS ? according to Articles 137 and following in the Code of Civil Procedure ? of the claim in question with the relative proof within fifteen days of the Auction date. In any case, subsequent to an accepted claim the Buyer has the right to re- ceive exclusively what was paid for the disputed lot/s without any addition of in- terests or other sums for any other reason. 11.
