GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR LEGAL SERVICES OF MARIĆ LAW OFFICE

- Marić Law Office (hereinafter: MLO) provides professional, legal, and advisory services and legal assistance to its clients (hereinafter: the client) in accordance with Article 3 of the Law on the Legal Profession ("Official Gazette of RS", No. 31/2011 and 24/2012 - Constitutional Court decision) without providing any guarantees or promises regarding the outcome of court and other proceedings that are the subject of legal and advisory services. - It is in the interest of both MLO and the client that all legal and advisory services and legal assistance be provided under predetermined and clear conditions. These general terms and conditions for the provision of services (MLO General Terms) constitute the basis on which MLO provides services to its clients in the territory of the Republic of Serbia.

1. CLIENT RELATIONS

- MLO's working method involves first assigning a case handler or Associate to work with the client based on the nature and needs of the client and the legal experience and possible specializations of MLO members. The case handler and the Associate working with the client need not be the same person who signed the power of attorney with MLO. If the client has any questions or concerns they wish to discuss with the assigned Associate or another person from MLO handling their case, they may contact the Partner-Attorney of MLO.

2. INSTRUCTIONS

- Engaging MLO implies authorization for MLO to take all legal actions that may be necessary to protect the client's interests in connection with that matter or project (unless the client issues different instructions which must be in written or electronic form). The scope of work for each engagement of MLO shall be defined in the Contract and may later be further defined in written communication, in accordance with the Contract. - MLO shall not be liable if it fails to provide advice or comment to the client or the client's authorized representative regarding any matter not contained in the client's instructions, which must be in written or electronic form. - Each Contract with MLO, in accordance with the General Terms, may be signed by the Partner-Attorney of MLO or a person authorized by them in writing.

3. FEES AND PAYMENTS

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, fees and payments to MLO are determined: a. Hourly rate - Hourly fees are based on the amount of time spent working on the client's case, multiplied by the hourly rate of the persons involved. Time spent on the client's case includes meetings with the client and time spent traveling, reviewing, preparing and working on documents, written communication, and conducting phone calls. - Unless otherwise agreed in writing, hourly rates are calculated in Serbian dinars. If the client's instructions require overtime work by MLO members (in cases where night and weekend work is not caused by objective circumstances), MLO reserves the right to increase the hourly rate by up to 30%. The hourly rate is determined in Article 6 of the TARIFF ON FEES AND REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS FOR ATTORNEY WORK ("Official Gazette of RS", No. 43/2023, No. 56/2025) and amounts to 150 points, i.e., 7,500.00 dinars. - MLO undertakes to regularly inform the client of the amount of accrued charges and of any changes in circumstances that may affect any previous information the client has received regarding fee calculations. If the client's instructions are likely to take some time, MLO will issue invoices on a standard monthly basis. If MLO ceases to represent the client for any reason, it will charge the client for all work performed up to that date. b. According to the value of the action undertaken as determined by the attorney tariff - The fee for the work of MLO attorneys is determined by the Tariff which establishes the number of points for individual attorney actions, provided that for drafting declarations of will (contracts, unilateral or bilateral documents, wills, etc.) the attorney may calculate the fee as a percentage of the value of the subject of the declaration of will. - On the date of entry into force of these MLO General Terms, the TARIFF ON FEES AND REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS FOR ATTORNEY WORK ("Official Gazette of RS", No. 43/2023, No. 56/2025) is in effect, which was presented to the client before signing the Contract or Power of Attorney. c. Individual fixed fee - In property-related matters, MLO may agree in writing with the client on a fee proportional (percentage) to the success of the proceedings or the success of legal actions that MLO will undertake for the client, provided that the agreed percentage may not exceed 30%, in accordance with Article 7 of the TARIFF ON FEES AND REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS FOR ATTORNEY WORK ("Official Gazette of RS", No. 43/2023, 56/2025). - In cases where a fixed fee has been agreed, MLO will not charge any additional amount unless the work performed is of a different nature or differs from what MLO and the client initially understood to be required based on the client's instructions, which must be in written or electronic form, and if the work is not covered by the contract. d. Lump sum - In the case of continuous provision of legal assistance and advisory services, MLO shall determine in a Contract drawn up in written form the amount the client will pay as a lump sum on a monthly basis upon issued invoices. The scope of work for each engagement shall be defined in the Contract and may later be further defined in written communication with the client, in accordance with the Contract. - In certain situations and cases, with stated reasons and explanation, MLO may request advance payment of fees and costs. This particularly applies to cases in which MLO must incur significant costs on behalf of the client. If after receiving instructions from the client, MLO requests payment for fees, this shall constitute a condition for MLO to represent the client. If payment is not made, MLO has the right not to continue, suspend, or terminate work on the case. - In the event that a fixed price is agreed between MLO and the client and the matter is not completed, MLO shall, unless otherwise agreed, charge for the work performed (which may be assessed based on recorded billable hours or proportionally) and any costs that MLO incurred on behalf of the client up to the date of completion of work.

4. COSTS

- By authorizing MLO to act on behalf of the client, the client also authorizes MLO to bear costs and expenses deemed necessary for the execution of the work. MLO has the right to request reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of the client at the time they arise, and in certain circumstances, MLO may request the client to pay them in advance. Costs include, among others, court fees, administrative fees, courier service payments, fees for experts engaged by MLO with the client's approval, search and registration fees, etc. This list of costs is not exhaustive and depends on specific needs. All costs are charged by MLO in accordance with Art.

9. TARIFF ON FEES AND REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS FOR ATTORNEY WORK ("Official Gazette of RS", No. 43/2023, 56/2025), specifically:

- for intercity transport — in the amount of the transport fare by the means of transport chosen by the attorney; - for local transport — in the amount of the taxi fare; - for transport by own vehicle — in the amount of 30% of the price of the highest quality gasoline per kilometer traveled; - for accommodation — in the amount of the hotel accommodation price, except for hotels with five or more stars; - for absence from the office — in the amount of 5,000.00 dinars for each commenced hour, and a maximum of ten hours per day; - for postal, telephone, banking, and similar services — according to paid invoices; - daily allowances — the same as for employees in state bodies and elected or appointed persons.

5. INVOICES AND RECEIPTS

- Invoices or pro forma invoices will be delivered to clients upon completion of the service or in accordance with the agreement and intervals agreed upon. Invoices will contain a specification of the work performed, including specific dates, names of persons who were engaged, and a description of the work performed. Amounts on the invoice will be expressed in dinars or euros. - Individual clients will be issued receipts containing a specification of the work performed, including specific dates, names of persons who were engaged, and a description of the work performed. Amounts on the receipt will be expressed in dinars or euros. All rules from these MLO General Terms relating to invoices shall apply analogously to receipts.

6. PAYMENT

- Invoices are due for payment within 5 calendar days from the date of invoice issuance, unless otherwise agreed in writing. If payment on the invoice is not made within 5 calendar days after the date of invoice issuance, MLO reserves the right to charge default interest from the due date in accordance with the provisions of the Law on Default Interest ("Official Gazette of RS", No. 119/2012). - In case of late payment, MLO also reserves the right to suspend or terminate work and to retain the case file until payment is made, as well as to initiate enforcement proceedings. This shall apply regardless of whether it relates to the case to which the invoice pertains or any other instructions on other matters that MLO received from the client, and shall last until all amounts owed to MLO are paid.

7. DISPUTES

- Regardless of the outcome of the dispute, the client shall always be responsible for payment of MLO invoices. Upon conclusion of the dispute, the court determines the costs incurred by the winning party in the proceedings, whereby the losing party most often must pay the full amount or part of those costs. If the other party has free legal aid, the client may not be able to recover any of their costs, even if they win the dispute. Even if the losing party does not reimburse the client for the full amount of dispute costs, or any part thereof, or if for any reason that party fails to comply with the order to compensate the client, the client is obligated to reimburse MLO for the full amount of costs. - During the course of judicial proceedings, at the client's request, MLO will make assessments and provide indications, to the best of its knowledge, about the proportion of costs that the client is likely to recover from the other party if they win the dispute. - However, this is a matter resolved by the court conducting the dispute at its discretion, and if the client loses on some issues raised (even if they win the dispute overall), or if the court considers that the client acted unreasonably, the court has the right to significantly reduce the portion of costs that the losing party will reimburse to the client. In the event that the client loses the dispute, the court may order the client to reimburse court costs to the winning party. This amount is paid in addition to MLO's costs and expenses. 8. TERMINATION OF SERVICE - In the event of a justified reason, MLO has the right to terminate the provision of services, with notice sent 30 days in advance. However, MLO will not terminate the provision of services unless it determines that it is not in the client's interest for MLO to continue working, or if a conflict of interest arises, or if the client fails to make payment on due invoices, or does not meet MLO's requirements regarding payment of fees or costs. If either party decides that MLO should cease working on the client's case, the client is obligated to pay MLO's fee as agreed and all costs that MLO incurred on behalf of the client up to the date of termination. MLO shall retain documents belonging to the client or delivered by the client for the purpose of executing the client's instructions regarding any matter until MLO receives payment for all outstanding fees invoiced to the client, or when MLO receives appropriate alternative security for the debt, or when a court orders MLO to return the documents to the client. 9. CONFIDENTIALITY AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST - All information related to the client's business and events related thereto shall be considered confidential and kept as such at all times, unless the client instructs MLO to disclose information. - During the resolution of a matter, a conflict of interest between the client and other clients of MLO may arise. In that case, MLO will consider the situation with the client and decide on further action. In order to protect the interests of the client or the interests of another client, MLO may be compelled to cease work on the matter. In that case, MLO will endeavor to find, or to help the client find, another office of comparable reputation to represent the client.

10. DOCUMENT ARCHIVING

- After payment of all outstanding fees to MLO, at the client's request, MLO shall deliver and return to the client all documents it has obtained or that the client has delivered to MLO in connection with work on the case. MLO's working documents, all written communication between the client and MLO, and other documents prepared by MLO remain the property of MLO. After the cessation of active work on the case, documents shall be archived. - In the event that the client's instructions require review of already archived documents, MLO reserves the right to charge for time spent reviewing archived documents and time spent preparing a written revision of said documents, regardless of whether those documents are requested by the client or another person at the client's request and with the client's written consent.

11. PROBLEMS AND COMPLAINTS

- If after reading these terms the client has any concerns regarding the matters they address, or if the client is not satisfied with any aspect of MLO's services, we urge the client to speak with the attorney. It is important that the client shares all concerns with MLO without delay, and no later than 3 days from the date of signing the Power of Attorney or Contract, so that MLO can consider them as soon as possible and respond to all the client's needs.

12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

- Unless otherwise agreed, MLO limits its monetary liability to the client with respect to any claims related to relevant negligence, breach of contract to the maximum coverage amount under our professional liability insurance applicable at that time. This amount includes all potential damages, costs, and interest determined against MLO. - MLO shall not be obligated to pay the client any amount caused by the error of another person.

13. INTERNET COMMUNICATION

- When technically possible, MLO uses the internet and electronic mail for sending documents. MLO does not guarantee the security and confidentiality of materials sent via the internet.

14. WAIVER

- Non-exercise of one or more rights contained in the MLO General Terms at any time or during any period shall under no circumstances be construed as a waiver of such right or rights.

16. SEVERABILITY

- The nullity or unenforceability of any provision of these MLO General Terms shall not affect the remaining provisions, which shall remain binding on both parties.

17. LEGAL FORCE OF DOCUMENTS

- The MLO General Terms and the Contract, or other written communication between the parties, define the terms that will be agreed upon with the client regarding the work that MLO will perform for the client. In the event of any conflict between these MLO General Terms and the Contract, the Contract shall prevail. An integral part of these Terms is the Client's Statement that they are familiar with them.

18. AMENDMENTS

- MLO reserves the right to amend the General Terms from time to time, with written notice to be sent to the client one month in advance. In Loznica, dated July 4, 2025.
