SCHEDULE 12 : LIMITATION ON WARRANTIES

The provisions in this Schedule shall operate to limit the liability of the Warrantors in respect of Relevant Claims.

1.	Definitions

In this Schedule where the context admits:

(A)

“Relevant Claim” means a claim by the Purchaser against the Warrantors or any of them in respect of a breach of the Business Warranties (other than the Business Warranty at paragraph 4.1 of Part B of Schedule 7 or the Tax Warranties.

(B)

“Tax Warranty Claim” means a claim by the Purchaser against the Warrantors or any of them in respect of the Tax Warranties.

2.	Avoidance of double claims

The Purchaser shall not be entitled to recover damages or obtain payment, reimbursement, restitution or indemnity more than once in respect of the same loss.

3.	Financial limits

3.1	The parties agree as follows in respect of Relevant Claims:

(A)

no liability shall attach to the Warrantors in respect of a Relevant Claim unless the liability of the Warrantors in respect of such claim exceeds £4,000 in which case the Warrantors shall (subject to paragraph 3.1(B)) be liable for the whole of such amount and not merely the excess (provided that claims in respect of similar facts and circumstances may be aggregated for these purposes);

(B)

no liability shall attach to the Warrantors in respect of a Relevant Claim unless the aggregate amount of liabilities in respect of all Relevant Claim(s) for which they would, in the absence of this provision, be liable shall exceed £40,000 but if such liabilities shall exceed that sum the Warrantors shall (subject to the other provisions hereof) be liable for the whole of such liabilities and not merely for the excess;

(C)

the aggregate amount of the liability of the Warrantors in respect of all Relevant Claims shall not exceed the amount of the Price actually received by the Vendors as at such date subject to the right of the Purchaser to set off as against the liability of the Purchaser to pay to any Vendors any deferred element of the Price any excess of all Relevant Claims due from such Warrantor and not so recovered at any relevant time due to the implementation of the provisions of this paragraph; and

(D)

nothing in paragraph 3.1(C) of this Schedule 12 or otherwise in this Agreement such entitle the Purchaser to off set against any Vendor’s entitlement to any consideration payable under this Agreement any accrued

liability of any other Vendor in respect of any breach of the Vendor Warranties. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this paragraph 3.1 shall limit the amount which the Purchaser can recover from an individual Vendor in respect of a breach by that Vendor of any of his Vendor Warranties.

3.2	None of the limitations contained in paragraph 3.1 shall apply to any Relevant Claim which arises as the consequence of, or is delayed as a result of, fraud, dishonest mis-statement, concealment or other similar conduct by the Vendors, the Warrantors or any of them.

4.	Time limits

None of the Warrantors shall be liable for any Relevant Claim unless the Vendors’ Representative shall have received from the Purchaser written notice containing details of the Relevant Claim (setting out in reasonable detail the matter or claim in respect of which such Relevant Claim is made so far as then known to the Purchaser) including the factual basis for the Relevant Claim and the Purchaser’s estimate (on a without prejudice basis) of the amount of such Relevant Claim:

(A)

on or before 28 February 2011 in the case of a Relevant Claim (other than a Tax Warranty Claim); or

(B)

on or before the seventh anniversary of Completion, in the case of a Tax Warranty Claim.

5.	Commencement of proceedings

Any Relevant Claim which has been made by the Purchaser by the giving of notice in accordance with paragraph 4 above shall, if it has not been previously satisfied, settled or withdrawn, be deemed to have been withdrawn and shall become fully barred and unenforceable on the date which is 6 months after written notice of the Relevant Claim is received by the Vendors’ Representative (or if contingent, within 6 months of such Relevant Claim ceasing to be contingent) unless proceedings in respect thereof shall have been commenced by the Purchaser; for this purpose “proceedings” shall be deemed not to have been commenced unless they shall have been issued.

6.	Reimbursement of claims made by third parties

If the Warrantors pay to the Purchaser an amount in discharge of a Relevant Claim and the Purchaser subsequently receives any payment from a third party (including any Tax Authority) of a sum which is directly referable to the matter giving rise to the Relevant Claim or obtains a Relief which is so directly referable and quantifiable, the Purchaser shall, as soon as reasonably practicable repay to the Warrantors concerned:

(A)

an amount equal to the sum recovered from the third party (or the value of the Relief obtained, calculated by reference to the amount saved) less any costs and expenses properly incurred by the Purchaser in recovering the same and any Tax suffered on the receipt provided in the case of any Relief, the Purchaser shall have no obligation to make any repayment until such Relief has been utilised; or

(B)

if the figure resulting under paragraph 6(A) above is greater than the amount paid by the Warrantors to the Purchaser in respect of the Relevant Claim, such lesser amount as shall have been so paid by the Warrantors.

7.	Retrospective legislation

No liability shall arise in respect of any of the Business Warranties or the Tax Warranties if and to the extent that such liability arises or is increased as a result of any legislation not in force at the date of this Agreement which takes effect retrospectively or a change in the interpretation of the law after the date hereof (whether or not such change purports to be effective retrospectively in whole or in part) or if such Relevant Claim would not have arisen (or the amount of the claim would not have been increased) but for any judgement delivered after the date hereof.

8.	Contingent and unquantifiable liabilities

No liability shall attach to any Warrantor in respect of any Relevant Claim to the extent that the Relevant Claim is based upon a liability which is contingent only or is otherwise not capable of being quantified unless and until such liability ceases to be contingent and becomes an actual liability or becomes capable of being quantified, as the case may be, provided that this paragraph shall not operate to avoid a claim made in respect of a contingent or unquantifiable liability within the applicable time limits specified in paragraph 4 of this Schedule if the notice of such claim has been served before the expiry of the relevant period specified in paragraph 4 (even if such liability does not become an actual or quantifiable liability, as the case may be, until after the expiry of such period).

9.	Mitigation not affected

Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the application of the common law rules on mitigation in respect of any claim or any matter giving rise to a claim.

10.	Survival of these provisions

The provisions of this Schedule 12 apply notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement.

11.	Where the claim arises as a consequence of a claim by a third party

11.1	If the Purchaser becomes aware of any claim, action or demand made against it, the Company or the Subsidiary by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) which may give rise to a Relevant Claim:

(A)

the Purchaser shall, as soon as practicable, notify the Vendors’ Representative giving reasonable details, so far as are known to the Purchaser, of the relevant facts and circumstances relating to the Third Party Claim; and

(B)

the Purchaser shall keep the Vendors’ Representative reasonably informed of all material developments in relation to the Third Party Claim within its knowledge and will consult with the Vendors’ Representative in relation to the progress of the Third Party Claim.

12.	Tax Warranties

12.1

The Purchaser shall procure that the Group shall not agree or otherwise establish any liability to Taxation which in itself gives rise to or could give rise to a Relevant Claim without first giving written notice to the Warrantors and taking into account such reasonable representations made by them communicated with reasonable expedition.

13.	Access to information

13.1

The Purchaser will after Completion give to the Warrantors and their representatives reasonable facilities to inspect all of the books and records relating to the Group as are delivered to the Purchaser under this Agreement and (at the Warrantors’ cost) to take copies and extracts from them at all reasonable times and on reasonable advance notice for such period or periods as the Warrantors may retain a liability or possible liability to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement but access shall be only to the extent that the Warrantors reasonably require access in connection with a Relevant Claim.

14.	General provisions with regard to Relevant Claims

The Warrantors shall have no liability (or such liability shall be reduced) in respect of any Relevant Claim:

(A)

if and to the extent that provision or reserve for or in respect of the liability or other matter giving rise to such Relevant Claim has been made in the Accounts;

(B)

if and to the extent that such Relevant Claim or such increase in such Relevant Claim (as the case may be) would not have arisen or would not have been of such financial value but for a change of accounting policy or practice of the Company or the Subsidiary after Completion.
