4.	Recovery

4.1

If:

(a)

The Company or the Purchaser is or becomes entitled to recover from any other person (not being a member of the Purchaser’s Group but including a Tax Authority) any sum in respect of any Tax Liability in relation to which a payment has been made by, or has become due from, the Sellers under this schedule 5 or in respect of a breach of Tax Warranty (including under sub-clause 7.6 of this agreement), the Purchaser shall notify the Sellers’ Representatives accordingly; and

(b)

provided that the Sellers shall first indemnify the Purchaser and the Company, as appropriate, to the Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction against all costs which it/they may properly incur in connection with the taking of the following action then, at the written request of the Sellers’ Representatives (and without prejudice to any obligation of the Sellers to make payment on the

relevant due date specified in paragraph 3 of part 3) the Purchaser shall, and shall procure that the Company shall, take such action as the Sellers’ Representatives may reasonably request to enforce the recovery against the other person (keeping the Sellers’ Representatives informed of the progress of any action taken).

4.2

If the Purchaser or the Company recovers any such amount as is referred to in subparagraph 4.1 (whether at the request of the Sellers’ Representatives or otherwise) and the Sellers have made a payment under this schedule 5 or in respect of a breach of any Tax Warranty (including under sub-clause 7.6 of this agreement) in respect of the Tax Liability to which such recovery relates, the Purchaser shall account to the Sellers for whichever is the lesser of:

(a)

any sum so recovered (including any interest and repayment supplement paid in respect of such sum) less any Tax charged in respect thereof and after deduction of all costs and expenses properly incurred by the Purchaser or the Company in enforcing the recovery (to the extent not already recovered under subparagraph 4.1); and

(b)

the aggregate of the amount paid by the Sellers pursuant to this schedule 5 or in respect of the breach of Tax Warranty (including under sub-clause 7.6 of this agreement) in relation to the relevant Tax Liability less any part of such amount previously repaid to the Sellers under any provision of this schedule or agreement.

If the Sellers have not made payment under this schedule 5 or in respect of a breach of any Tax Warranty (including under sub-clause 7.6 of this agreement) in respect of the Tax Liability to which subparagraph 4.1 refers, the amount set out at subparagraph 4.2(a) shall be set against the amount then due from the Sellers and shall reduce its liability under this schedule 5 or in respect of any breach of any Tax Warranty (including under sub-clause 7.6 of this agreement) in respect thereof pro tanto.

4.4

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Company receives any repayment of Tax and as a result a payment is made to the Sellers under subparagraph 5.3 (by virtue of the repayment falling within subparagraph 5.2(b)) then the Sellers shall not be entitled to also receive a payment under this paragraph 4 in respect of such repayment of Tax to that extent (and vice versa).

5.	Corresponding savings

If the Sellers have made a payment to the Purchaser under this schedule 5 or in respect of a breach of any Tax Warranty (including under sub-clause 7.6 of this agreement) in respect of a liability and that liability (or the thing giving rise to the liability) has resulted in a Relief which would not otherwise have arisen (“Relevant Relief”) the amount by which the Company’s (or other member of the Purchaser’s Group’s) liability to Tax is reduced, or which it receives by way of a repayment, as a consequence of the utilisation or set off of such Relevant Relief (“Relevant Amount”) shall be dealt with in accordance with subparagraph 5.3.

5.2

If:

(a)

any amount in respect of Tax which has been taken into account in the Final Net Cash Statement proves to be excessive; or

any repayment of Tax is received by the Company after Completion (but only to the extent such repayment has not been taken into account in the Final Net Cash Statement or the Accounts and only to the extent the repayment relates to Tax which was paid on or before Completion);

the amount of such excess or the amount of the repayment received (also a “Relevant Amount”) shall be dealt with in accordance with subparagraph 5.3, but provided always that no account shall be taken of any such amount to the extent it arises as a result of an Accounts Relief or as a result of a change of law (including its published interpretation) or a change in the accounting policies of the Company (in each case after Completion) or as a result of an Event occurring after Completion.

5.3	The Relevant Amount:

(a)

shall first be set-off against any payment then due from the Sellers under this schedule 5 or for breach of any Tax Warranty (including under sub-clause 7.6 of this agreement);

(b)

- 133 -

2.2	The Purchaser shall procure that, at Completion, the Escrow Agent shall sign and deliver the Escrow Agreement to the Sellers’ Representatives and the Purchaser.

3.	Claims Process

3.1

In the event that the Purchaser shall serve a Claim Notice on the Sellers’ Representatives in respect of any Claim at any time during the Escrow Period and the Sellers’ Representatives dispute all or any part of such Claim, then the Sellers’ Representatives shall serve a notice in writing on the Purchaser and the Escrow Agent notifying them of their objection to the Claim (“Objection Notice”) within the period of two months following the date of receipt of the Claim Notice (“Objection Period”) failing which the provisions of paragraphs 4.2 and 4.3 shall apply.

3.2

Without prejudice to paragraph 3.1, the failure by the Sellers’ Representatives to serve an Objection Notice in respect of any Claim within the relevant Objection Period shall not be or be deemed to be a waiver of any right of counterclaim or other action or remedy which the Sellers may have against the Purchaser in relation to such Claim and/or the surrender of any Escrow Shares pursuant to paragraph 4.3.

4.	Release of Escrow Shares

4.1

Subject to paragraphs 4.2 and 4.4, the Sellers’ Representatives and the Purchaser shall irrevocably instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to release all of the Escrow Shares held by the Escrow Agent as at 17.00 (UK time) on the Release Date and, subject to paragraph 5.6, such Escrow Shares shall be transferred to and allocated among the Sellers in accordance with paragraphs 4.12(b) and/or 4.13 (as applicable) as soon as reasonably practicable following such instruction and in any event within 5 Business Days of the Release Date.

4.2	If, at any time during the Escrow Period, the Purchaser serves a Claim Notice on the Sellers’ Representatives in respect of any Claim and:

(a)

such Claim has become an Agreed Claim prior to the expiry of the Escrow Period; or

(b)

the Sellers’ Representatives shall have failed to serve an Objection Notice on the Purchaser within the relevant Objection Period (a “Non-Contested Claim”);

then, subject to paragraphs 4.12, 4.13 and 5.4, the provision of paragraph 4.3 shall apply.

4.3	As soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within 5 Business Days) after:

(a)

a Claim becomes an Agreed Claim, the Sellers’ Representatives and the Purchaser; or

- 134 -

(b)

the expiry of the Objection Period in respect of a Non-Contested Claim, the Purchaser,

shall irrevocably instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to surrender to the Purchaser for cancellation:

(a)

such number of the Escrow Shares as have an aggregate Agreed Value equal to the amount of the Sellers’ liability (as settled or determined in the case of an Agreed Claim or as set out in the relevant Claim Notice in relation to a Non-Contested Claim) in respect of such Claim; or

(b)

if the amount of the Sellers’ liability in respect of such Claim (determined in accordance with paragraph (a) above) exceeds the aggregate Agreed Value of the Escrow Shares, all of the Escrow Shares;

and, subject to paragraph 3.2, the surrender of such Escrow Shares shall discharge and satisfy the Sellers’ liability in respect of such Claim up to the aggregate Agreed Value of the Escrow Shares so surrendered.

4.4	If any Claim has not or is unlikely to become an Agreed Claim (“Disputed Claim”) by the Release Date then:

(a)

the Purchaser shall notify the Sellers’ Representatives and the Escrow Agent in writing (“Liability Notice”) of its good faith estimate of the aggregate amount of the Sellers’ liability in respect of such Disputed Claim (“Estimated Liability”) by no later than 12.00 UK time on the Release Date;

(b)

subject to paragraphs 4.5 to 4.8 (inclusive), 4.12, 4.13 and 5.5:

(i)

such number of the Escrow Shares as have an aggregate Agreed Value equal to the amount of the Estimated Liability in respect of such Disputed Claim; or

(ii)

if the amount of the Estimated Liability exceeds the aggregate Agreed Value of the Escrow Shares then held by the Escrow Agent, all of such Escrow Shares,

shall be left in escrow (such Escrow Shares being together referred to as the “Retained Shares”) and such Retained Shares shall continue to be held by the Escrow Agent on the terms set out in this schedule 10 and the Escrow Agreement; and

(c)

the Sellers’ Representatives and the Purchaser shall irrevocably instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to release, as at 17.00 UK time on the Release Date, all (if any) Escrow Shares in excess of the number of Retained Shares to be held by the Escrow Agent in respect of all Disputed Claims and such Escrow Shares shall be transferred to and allocated among the Sellers in accordance with paragraphs 4.12(b) and/or 4.13(b) (as applicable).

- 135 -

4.5

The Sellers’ Representatives shall be entitled at any time within 20 Business Days of receipt of a Liability Notice in respect of any Disputed Claim to serve a notice (“Dispute Notice”) upon the Purchaser requiring that the Purchaser instruct (and notify the Sellers’ Representatives in writing of the identity of) an English Queens Counsel acceptable to the Sellers’ Representatives (acting reasonably) (an “Expert”); to give a written opinion as to:

(a)

whether or not the Expert considers that the relevant Disputed Claim would be reasonably likely to be successful; and

(b)

the Expert’s estimate of the amount of the Sellers’ liability in relation to such Disputed Claim if the Disputed Claim were to be successful.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Sellers’ Representatives (or either of them) reasonably object to the Purchaser’s selection of Queen’s Counsel within 10 Business Days of receipt of notification of the instruction of an Expert by the Purchaser, or the Purchaser fails to instruct such Queens Counsel within 20 Business Days following receipt of the relevant Dispute Notice, the Expert shall be an English Queens Counsel nominated, at the request of either the Purchaser or the Sellers’ Representatives, by the Chairman of the Bar Council of England and Wales.

4.6

The Purchaser’s instructions to the Expert shall be sent to the Sellers’ Representatives at the same time as they are sent to the Expert and the Sellers’ Representatives shall be entitled within 15 Business Days of receipt of such instruction to make a submission in writing (“Sellers’ Submission”) in respect of the Disputed Claim, and the facts, matters and circumstances referred to in the Purchaser’s instruction, to the Expert.

4.7

The Expert shall be instructed to deliver his or her opinion (“Opinion”) in relation to the matters referred to in paragraphs 4.5(a) and 4.5(b) in writing to the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representatives within 20 Business Days following the date of his or her instruction in accordance with paragraph 4.5 or receipt of the Sellers’ Submission, whichever is the later.

4.8	On receipt of the Opinion, if the Expert determines that:

(a)

the Disputed Claim is likely to be successful, and the amount of Sellers’ liability in respect of such Disputed Claim is likely to be no less than the amount of the Estimated Liability, then, subject to paragraphs 4.12, 4.13 and 5.5, the Retained Shares shall be left in escrow and the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Retained Shares on the terms set out in this schedule 10 and the Escrow Agreement pending such Disputed Claim becoming an Agreed Claim; or

(b)

the Disputed Claim is likely to be successful but the amount of Sellers’ liability in respect of such Disputed Claim is likely to be less than the amount of the Estimated Liability (“Revised Estimate”), then:

(i)

subject to paragraphs 4.12, 4.13 and 5.5, such number of the Retained Shares as have an aggregate Agreed Value equal to the Revised Estimate shall be left in escrow and the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such Retained Shares on the terms set out in this schedule 10 and the Escrow Agreement pending such Disputed Claim becoming an Agreed Claim; and

- 136 -

(ii)

the Sellers’ Representatives and the Purchaser shall irrevocably instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to release all remaining Retained Shares held by the Escrow Agent in respect of such Disputed Claim and such shares shall be transferred to and allocated among the Sellers in accordance with paragraphs 4.12(b) or 4.13(b) (as applicable); or

(c)

the Disputed Claim is unlikely to be successful, then the Sellers’ Representatives and the Purchaser shall irrevocably instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to release all of the Retained Shares held by the Escrow Agent in respect of such Disputed Claim and such shares shall be transferred to and allocated among the Sellers in accordance with paragraphs 4.12(b) or 4.13(b) (as applicable).

4.9	The costs of seeking the Expert’s opinion shall be borne as to one half by the Purchaser and as to one half by the Sellers.

4.10	Subject to paragraphs 4.12 and 4.13, as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within 5 Business Days) after any Disputed Claim becomes an Agreed Claim, the Sellers’ Representatives and the Purchaser shall irrevocably instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to:

(a)

surrender to the Purchaser:

(i)

such number of the Retained Shares held by the Escrow Agent in respect of such Agreed Claim as have an aggregate Agreed Value equal to the amount of the Sellers’ liability (as settled or determined) in respect of such Agreed Claim; or

(ii)

if the amount of the Sellers’ liability in respect of such Agreed Claim exceeds the aggregate Agreed Value of the Retained Shares held by the Escrow Agent in respect of such Agreed Claim, all of the Escrow Shares;

and the surrender of such Escrow Shares shall discharge and satisfy the Sellers’ liability in respect of such Agreed Claim up to the aggregate Agreed Value of the Escrow Shares so surrendered; and

(b)

release the balance (if any) of the Retained Shares held by the Escrow Agent in relation to such Agreed Claim which shall be transferred to and allocated among the Sellers in accordance with paragraphs 4.12(b) or 4.13(b) (as applicable).

4.11

If, in respect of any Disputed Claim, Proceedings have not been brought within the period of 9 months commencing on the date on which notice of such Disputed Claim was given to the Sellers’ Representatives (“Proceedings Period”), then such Claim shall be deemed to have become fully barred and unenforceable in accordance with

- 137 -

subclause 8.8 and, as soon as reasonably possible (but in any event within 5 Business Days) following the expiry of the Proceedings Period, the Sellers’ Representatives and the Purchaser shall irrevocably instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to release any Retained Shares held by the Escrow Agent in relation to such Claim and such Retained Shares shall be transferred to and allocated among the Sellers in accordance with paragraphs 4.12(b) or 4.13(b) (as applicable) .

4.12 Subject to paragraphs 4.13, 5.4 and 5.5:

(a)

the number of Escrow Shares which shall be:

(i)

retained by the Escrow Agent in relation to any Disputed Claim in accordance with paragraphs 4.4 and 4.8; and/or

(ii)

surrendered to the Purchaser in relation to any Agreed Claim in accordance with paragraphs 4.2 and/or 4.10;

shall be selected as nearly as may be (without involving fractions of shares) pro rata between the Sellers in proportion to each Seller’s respective Escrow Proportion; and

(b)

all Escrow Shares to be released from escrow pursuant to paragraphs 4.1, 4.4(c), 4.8(b)(ii), 4.8(c), 4.10(b) and 4.11 shall be transferred to, and allocated among, the Sellers as nearly as may be (without involving fractions of shares) pro rata between the Sellers in their respective Escrow Proportions.

4.13

Notwithstanding the generality of paragraph 4.12, where in respect of any Agreed Claim it is agreed or determined that the liability of the Sellers in respect of such Claim shall not be pro rata in proportion to their respective Escrow Proportions (such that the proportionate liability of one or more Sellers (the “Liable Seller(s)”) shall be agreed or determined to be higher than such Seller(s) Escrow Proportion) (a “Non-Proportionate Claim”) then:

(a)

the number of Escrow Shares to be surrendered to the Purchaser in relation to such Non-Proportionate Claim shall be selected as nearly as may be (without involving fractions of shares) pro rata to the respective liability of the Sellers as agreed or determined in respect of such Non-Proportionate Claim; and

(b)

where, following the surrender of any Escrow Shares in relation to a Non-Proportionate Claim in accordance with paragraph 4.13(a), any Escrow Shares shall subsequently be released from escrow pursuant to paragraphs 4.1, 4.4(c), 4.8(b)(ii), 4.8(c), 4.10(b) and/or 4.11, for the purposes of calculating the number of such Escrow Shares to be transferred to and allocated among the Sellers, the respective Escrow Proportions of the Sellers shall be amended to reflect the fact that the Liable Seller(s) shall have surrendered a greater proportion of the Escrow Shares contributed by them in relation to the Non-Proportionate Claim and that accordingly their proportionate entitlement to the balance of the Escrow Shares shall be reduced.

- 138 -

5.	Exchange of Escrow Shares for cash

5.1

For so long as the Escrow Agent holds any Escrow Shares, any Seller (a “Relevant Seller”) shall be entitled to notify each of the Escrow Agent, the Sellers’ Representatives and the Purchaser in writing (a “Substitution Notice”) that it wishes to pay to the Escrow Agent an amount in cash (calculated in accordance with paragraph 5.2) (“Cash Contribution”) in substitution for some or all of the Escrow Shares then held by the Escrow Agent which have been contributed by such Seller (“Substitution Shares”).

5.2	For the purposes of paragraph 5.1, the amount of the Cash Contribution to be paid by a Relevant Seller shall be an aggregate amount equal to the Agreed Value multiplied by the number of Substitution Shares the Relevant Seller wishes to be released from escrow by the Escrow Agent.

5.3

Upon receipt of a Substitution Notice the Sellers’ Representative and the Purchaser shall, as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within 5 Business Days of receipt of the Substitution Notice, irrevocably instruct the Escrow Agent in writing, subject to receipt by the Escrow Agent of the amount of the Cash Contribution, to release the Substitution Shares to the Relevant Seller as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within 5 Business Days following receipt by the Escrow Agent of the Cash Contribution.

5.4

A Cash Contribution shall be held by the Escrow Agent in an interest bearing deposit account and shall be applied by the Escrow Agent in the settlement and discharge of the Relevant Sellers’ liability in relation to any Agreed Claim and the provisions of paragraphs 4.2, 4.10(a) and 4.12 shall apply to the Cash Contribution in the same manner, mutatis mutandis, as they apply to the Escrow Shares and shall be construed and applied accordingly.

5.5

Where any Escrow Shares are to be retained by the Escrow Agent after the expiry of the Escrow Period in respect of any Disputed Claim the Escrow Agent shall also retain an amount of the Cash Contribution equal to the proportionate liability of the Relevant Seller in respect of such Disputed Claim and the provisions of paragraphs 4.4(b), 4.8(a) and 4.8(b) shall apply to the Cash Contribution in the same manner, mutatis mutandis, as they apply to the Escrow Shares and shall otherwise be construed and applied accordingly.

5.6	Subject to paragraph 5.5, any amount of the Cash Contribution held by the Escrow Agent as at the Release Date, or retained by the Escrow Agent in respect of any Disputed Claim in accordance with paragraphs 4.4(b), 4.8(a) or 4.8(b), shall, following:

(a)

the determination of any Revised Estimate of the Sellers’ liability in respect of such Disputed Claim (in relation to which paragraph 4.8.2 applies);

(b)

such Disputed Claim becoming an Agreed Claim; or

(c)

such Disputed Claim becoming barred and unenforceable in accordance with paragraph 4.11,

- 139 -

(as applicable), be returned to the Relevant Seller and the provisions of paragraphs 4.1, 4.4(c), 4.8(b)(ii), 4.8(c), 4.10(b) and 4.11 in relation to the transfer and allocation of any Escrow Shares shall apply to the Cash Contribution in the same manner, mutatis mutandis, as they apply to the Escrow Shares and shall be construed and applied accordingly.

6.	Interest and Dividends

6.1

All cash dividends or other distributions (other than shares of common stock issued by way of stock splits or stock dividends) which would be due to each Seller in respect of the number of Escrow Shares contributed by them had such shares not been delivered to the Escrow Agent at completion shall accrue to, and shall be held by the Escrow Agent as nominee for, such Seller. The Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representatives shall instruct the Escrow Agent in writing that such cash dividends or other distributions shall be released and paid to the Sellers Representatives within 5 Business Days of the date of the notice from the Escrow Agent pursuant to section 2(f) of the Escrow Agreement.

6.2

All interest accrued on any Cash Contribution will belong to, and shall be held by the Escrow Agent as nominee for, the Relevant Seller and shall be released and paid to such Relevant Seller within 5 Business Days of each of 30 June, 30 September, 31 December and 31 March (during the Escrow Period) and the Release Date (as applicable).

7.	Notices

7.1	A Release Notice served by the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representatives on the Escrow Agent pursuant to paragraphs 4.1, 4.4(c), 4.8(c), 4.10(b), and 4.11 shall specify:

MEMBER DEPOSIT INDEMNITY

1.	Definitions

1.1

“Deposit Member” means a Company member who paid a cash deposit upon joining as member and who has not, prior to Completion, either (1) terminated his or her Company membership and received a cash refund of such deposit, or (2) affirmatively elected (by notification to the Company) to instruct the Company to retain his or her deposit on account (and in respect of which a liability is recorded in the Accounts).

1.2	“Member Deposit Liabilities” means (1) 20 per cent. of the aggregate of all Qualified Refunds, up to £200,000 in Qualified Refunds, plus (2) 80 per cent. of the aggregate of all additional Qualified Refunds in excess of such £200,000 amount.

1.3

“Qualified Refunds” means cash refunds of member deposits actually paid by the Company during the Refund Period to Deposit Members to whom an offer is made pursuant to paragraph 2.1 and who affirmatively terminate their Company membership during the Refund Period and who receive a refund in cash of his or her deposit in connection with such termination of Company membership, less the aggregate of all such cash refunds paid to terminating Deposit Members who, within a period of three months following such termination (but in any event prior to the expiry of the Refund Period), re-join the Company or any Purchaser Group Company as members.

1.4	“Refund Period” means the period from Completion to the date falling 18 months from the Completion Date.

2.	Member Refund Process

2.1

Notwithstanding anything in this agreement to the contrary, including, without limitation, clause 8.9, the parties hereby acknowledge that, following Completion, the Purchaser intends to cause the Company to offer certain Deposit Members the possibility of electing one of several alternatives in relation to the deposit initially paid by such Deposit Members.

2.2

For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding the provisions of clause 8.9, the Purchaser and/or the Company may take any actions in connection with the offer(s) described in paragraph 2.1 as they may see fit in the context of their member relationship and operational integration efforts, including, without limitation, making any communications with members or undertaking any publicity with respect to such offer(s).

3.	Process

3.1	The Purchaser shall provide written notice to the Sellers’ Representatives at 31 January 2011 of the aggregate amount of the Qualified Refunds to date.

- 142 -

3.2	No later than five or earlier than 10 Business Days prior to the Release Date (as defined in schedule 10), the Purchaser shall provide written notice to the Sellers’ Representatives (a “Deposit Repayment Notice”) setting out:

(a)

the name of each Deposit Member who has terminated their membership in accordance with paragraph 2.1(a) and the amount of the Qualified Refund paid to such Deposit Member;

(b)

the aggregate amount of all Qualified Refunds to date;

(c)

a good faith estimate (based on historical experience) of the amount of any additional Qualified Refunds reasonably expected to be paid between such date and the Release Date; and

(d)

the aggregate amount of the Member Deposit Liabilities in respect thereof.

3.3

A Deposit Repayment Notice served in accordance with paragraph 3.2 shall constitute a Claim Notice in respect of such Member Deposit Liabilities for purposes of schedule 10 and, without prejudice to the provisions of paragraph 3.3, the provisions of schedule 10 shall apply mutatis mutandis.

3.4

Without prejudice to paragraph 3.2, the Purchaser shall, and shall procure that the Company or other relevant Group Company shall, provide to the Sellers’ Representatives all information, assistance and access to books and records of account, documents, files, papers and information stored electronically which the Sellers’ Representatives may reasonably require for the purposes of assessing any Claim set out in a Deposit Repayment Notice and the liability of the Sellers in respect of any Member Deposit Liabilities referred to therein.
