or any present or former employee, director, agent or officer of any Seller Group Company
in connection with this Agreement or its subject matter, provided that nothing in this

director, agent or officer of any Seller Group Company in connection with this Agreement
or its subject matter where those rights are available or that claim arises in respect

provisions of the Agreement or the contents of the Disclosure Letter or otherwise in
relation to the business or affairs of any of the Group Companies, shall be deemed a
representation, warranty or guarantee of its accuracy by the relevant person in favour

their respective employees, directors, officers, agents or advisers in respect of such
information and hereby undertakes not to make any claims against or pursue any action

or misleading then, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies which the Buyer
may have, the Sellers will in full and final settlement pay to the Buyer the sum which

the Subsidiaries (as the case may be) into an equivalent position to the one in which
it would have been, had the circumstances rendering the Key Warranty untrue, inaccurate
or misleading not existed, together with all reasonable costs and expenses incurred or
sustained by the Buyer and the Company and the Subsidiaries as a result of, or in connection
with, the circumstances giving rise to the breach of the Key Warranty or of the Key Warranty
being untrue or misleading. |

Sellers acknowledge that the Buyer is entering into this Agreement in reliance on the
Warranties. |
| 5.10. | Where
a Warranty refers to the knowledge, information, awareness or belief of the Sellers or

a reduction of the Deferred Consideration by an amount equal to the amount of the Warranty

Seller will not for a period of 1 year after the date of Completion in respect of Restricted

member of the Buyer’s Group (or the terms relating to such supplies) from any suppliers
who have been supplying components, materials or services to a Group Company at any time
during the 1 year immediately preceding Completion if that interference causes or would
cause such supplier to cease supplying, or materially reduce its supply of those goods
and/or services to the Company; or |
| 7.1.6. | if
either Seller shall have obtained trade secrets or other confidential information belonging
to any third party under an agreement which contained restrictions on disclosure on either
that Seller or the Company, such Seller will not without the previous written consent
of the Buyer at any time infringe such restrictions; |
| 7.1.7. | each
Seller will not at any time after Completion use in the course of any business:- |
| 7.1.7.1. | the

| 7.1.7.2. | any
trade or service xxxx, business or domain name, design or logo which, at Completion was
or had been owned by the Company. |
| 7.2. | The
parties agree that the restrictions contained in clause 7.1.2 shall not apply if and

| 7.8. | The
provisions of clauses 7.1.1 to 7.1.7 (inclusive) are separate and severable and shall
be enforceable accordingly. |
| 7.9. | Any
covenants given in this clause 7 in respect of “the Company” shall be deemed

a period of 12 months following Completion, the Buyer shall promptly provide the Sellers

notice of such requirement to the relevant Group Company. |
| 12.2. | The

Sellers hereby agree that any legal proceedings may be served on them by delivering a
copy of such proceedings to them at their respective addresses set out in this Agreement,

Buyer hereby agrees that any legal proceedings may be served on it by delivering a copy
of such proceedings to them at its address set out in this Agreement, with a copy to
the Buyer’s Solicitors at the address set forth herein. |
| 16.1. | Any
rights or remedies conferred upon either party in this Agreement are in addition to and
without prejudice to all other rights and remedies available to it. No exercise or failure
to exercise or delay in exercising any right power or remedy shall constitute a waiver
by such party of any such other right, power or remedy. No single or partial exercise
of any remedy, right, power or privilege shall preclude any further exercise thereof
or exercise of any other remedy, right, power or privilege. |
| 16.2. | The
Buyer may release or comprise the liability of any of the Sellers hereunder without affecting
the liability of any other Seller. |
| 16.3. | Any
waiver of any right under this Agreement is only effective if it is in writing. |

| 18.1. | Save
as set out in this Agreement, all payments to be made under this Agreement shall be made
in full without set-off or counterclaim and free from any deduction or withholding save
as may be required by law (in which event the deduction or withholding will not exceed
the minimum amount which it is required by law to deduct or withhold). If any deduction
or withholding is required by law to be made from any sums payable under this Agreement
(except for any interest under clause 18.3), the Buyer or the Sellers (as the case may
be) shall be obliged to pay such increased sums as will, after such deduction or withholding
as is required to be made has been made, leave the recipient with the same amount as
it would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such requirement to make a deduction
or withholding. |
| 18.2. | Any
sums due to the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement may be paid to the Sellers’
Solicitors whose receipt shall constitute a full discharge of the Buyer’s obligations
to make such payment and the Buyer shall not be concerned with the application of any
such amount between the Sellers. |
| 18.3. | If
any party to this Agreement defaults in the payment when due of any sum payable under
this Agreement the liability of the defaulting party (whether determined by agreement
or pursuant to an order of a court or otherwise) shall be increased to include interest
on that sum from the date when the payment was due until the date of actual payment (after
as well as before judgment) at 3 per cent per annum above the base rate of Barclays Bank
plc from time to time in force. This interest shall accrue from day to day. It shall
be compounded quarterly and payable on demand. |
| 18.4. | Other
than in respect of any Consideration payable at any time by the Buyer under this Agreement,
if any payment by any party to another hereunder shall be subject to Taxation in the
hands of the recipient then the sum payable shall be increased by such amount as will
ensure that, after payment of any Taxation, the recipient receives a net sum equal to
the sum which it would otherwise have received under this Agreement had the payment not
been subject to Taxation (and for these purposes a sum shall be regarded as chargeable
to Taxation in circumstances where it would have been chargeable to Taxation but for
some relief available to the recipient). |
| 19.1. | Subject
to clause 19.2, no announcement or other disclosure shall be made by any party to this
Agreement either before or after Completion in relation to any of the transactions provided
for in this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party(ies) to this

regulations of the United States Securities Exchange Commission; |
| 19.2.2. | made
or sent by the Buyer or the Sellers after Completion to any Group Company’s customers,
clients or suppliers advising them of the change of control of the Group. |

agreement and understanding between each of the Sellers and the Buyer in connection with
the Company and the Subsidiaries and the sale and purchase of the Shares and supersede
any previous agreement, undertakings, arrangements or statements between the parties
relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. |
| 20.2. | Each
of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally acknowledges and agrees that in entering
into this Agreement and the documents referred to in it, it does not rely on and shall
have no remedy for rescission or otherwise in respect of any statement, representation,
warranty or understanding of any person other than as expressly stated in this Agreement
as a warranty representation or undertaking. No party shall have any claim for innocent
or negligent misrepresentation based upon any statement in this Agreement. Nothing in
this clause shall, however operate to limit or exclude any liability for fraud or fraudulent
misrepresentation. |

variation of this Agreement or any of the documents in the agreed form (or the executed engrossments thereof) shall be valid unless

the extent that such liability arises solely in the ordinary course of the business of

in Schedule 6. |
| 2.1. | The
Buyer shall as soon as reasonably practicable notify the Sellers in writing of any Claim
for Taxation which comes to its notice whereby it appears that the Sellers are or may
become liable to pay the Buyer in respect of which a claim under the Tax Warranties may
be made provided that the giving of such notice is not a condition precedent to the liability
of the Sellers under the Tax Warranties. |
| 2.2. | The
Buyer shall ensure that a Claim for Taxation to which paragraph 2.1 applies, is, so far
as reasonably practicable, dealt with separately from claims to which it does not apply. |
| 2.3. | Provided
that the Sellers indemnify the Group Company and the Buyer to the reasonable satisfaction
of the Buyer against all losses, costs, damages and expenses (including interest on overdue
Taxation) which may be incurred thereby the Buyer will procure that the Group Company,
at the Sellers’ cost and expense, take such action and gives such information and
assistance in connection with its Taxation affairs as the Sellers may reasonably and
promptly request to dispute, appeal against, settle or compromise any Claim for Taxation
in respect of which a claim may be made for breach of any Tax Warranties but excluding
allowing the Sellers to undertake the conduct of the dispute with the relevant Taxation
Authority. |
| 2.4. | The
Buyer, on receipt of notice in writing, shall procure (without prejudice to the generality
of the foregoing) that the Sellers (and their advisers) are, within a reasonable time,
given reasonable access to all relevant documents, records and personnel of a Group Company

mentioned in paragraph 2.3; |
| 2.6.1. | which
it reasonably considers to be materially prejudicial to the business or Taxation affairs
of a Group Company or the Buyer or any company in the same group as the Buyer; or |
| 2.6.2. | which
involves contesting a Claim for Taxation beyond the first appellate body (excluding the
Taxation Authority which has made the Claim) in the jurisdiction concerned unless the
Sellers obtains (at the Sellers’ cost and expense) the opinion of tax counsel of
at least 10 years’ call that it is reasonable to make such an appeal. |
| 2.7. | If
the Sellers fail within 15 Business Days of the Buyer giving notice requiring the Sellers
to do so to inform the Buyer of any action which the Sellers wish the Buyer to procure
a Group Company to take under paragraph 2.5 the Buyer will be entitled to procure that
the Group Company settles or compromises any Claim for Taxation on such terms as it determines
in its absolute discretion. |

to be made by the Seller under this Schedule 3 shall be made in cleared funds, in the
case of any claim for breach of the Tax Warranties, five days after demand is made. |

Group Company receives any repayment of or in respect of Taxation by reason of any Event
occurring or deemed to occur on or before Completion which is not shown as an asset in
the Accounts and is not a repayment to which paragraph 5 (Recovery from third parties)
applies (a “Tax Refund”); or |
| 4.1.3. | a payment
by the Sellers under this Schedule 3 in respect of any Liability to Taxation or the circumstances
giving rise to such payment results in the Buyer or any Group Company receiving any Relief
(other than a Tax Refund) which it utilises on or before the seventh anniversary of Completion
and which the Buyer undertakes shall be utilised as soon as is reasonably practicable
(but not in preference to any other Reliefs) (a “Corresponding Relief”), |
then an
amount equal to such Overprovision, Tax Refund or the Taxation saved by the Corresponding Relief at the date on which such Corresponding
Relief is utilised, less in each case any reasonable costs and expenses properly incurred by any Group Company or the Buyer which
are attributable to the Overprovision, Tax Refund or Corresponding Relief, (the “Relevant Amount”) shall be dealt
with in accordance with paragraph 4.2 below provided that no account shall be taken of any such Relevant Amount to the extent
that it arises as a consequence of the utilisation of any Buyer's Relief, any Pre-Completion Relief, or any action taken by a
Group Company or the Buyer after Completion or any change in law or practice after Completion.

Relevant Amount (save to the extent that it is taken into account in computing the quantum
of any payment due from the Sellers under this Schedule 3): |

first be set off against any payment then due from the Sellers under this Schedule 3

under paragraph 4.2.1 above, a refund (up to the amount of such excess) shall be made
within five Business Days to the Sellers of any previous payment or payments made by
the Sellers under this Schedule 3 and not previously refunded under this paragraph 4.2.2;
and |
| 4.2.3. | to
the extent that the excess referred to in paragraph 4.2.2 above is not exhausted under
that paragraph, the remainder of that excess shall be carried forward and set off against
any future payment or payments which become due from the Sellers under this Schedule
3. |
| 4.3. | If
the Buyer or any Group Company becomes aware of the existence of any Overprovision or
receives any Tax Refund or utilises any Corresponding Relief, the Buyer shall or shall
procure that the relevant Group Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, give
written notice of the same to the Sellers. |
| 4.4. | The
Sellers may, at their own expense, require the Auditors to certify the existence and
quantum of any Relevant Amount and the date on which any Corresponding Relief is utilised,
and in the absence of manifest error, and subject to paragraph 4.5 below, the decision
of the Auditors shall be final and binding. |
| 4.5. | If
a certification has been made under paragraph 4.4, the Buyer may on or before the date
which is 30 days following the seventh anniversary of Completion, at its own expense,
require the Auditors to review the certification in the light of all relevant circumstances
at the time of the review and to determine whether in the light of those circumstances
the certification should be amended and, if the Auditors determine that the certification
should be amended, the revised Relevant Amount shall be substituted for the original
Relevant Amount for the purposes of paragraph 4.2, and any necessary adjusting payments
shall be made within five Business Days of such determination. |
| 5. | Recovery
from third parties |
| 5.1. | If
a Group Company or the Buyer recovers or becomes aware that it is entitled to recover
from any third party (including but not limited to any Taxation Authority but excluding
any employee or officer of any Group Company) any amount which is referable to a Liability
to Taxation in respect of which the Sellers has made a payment to the Buyer, the Buyer
shall as soon as reasonably practicable give notice of that fact to the Sellers and shall
take or procure that the relevant Group Company takes (at the Sellers’ expense
and provided that the Sellers indemnify the Buyer and each Group Company to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Buyer against all losses, costs, damages, expenses and Tax relating
to that recovery which may be incurred thereby) any lawful and reasonable action necessary
to effect such recovery which the Sellers may reasonably request in writing, and the
Buyer shall repay to the Sellers the lesser of: |
| 5.1.1. | the
amount so recovered together with any interest (net of Taxation) or repayment supplement
received in respect thereof (net of any losses, costs, damages, expenses and Tax relating
to the amount recovered not previously recovered from the Sellers); and |
| 5.1.2. | the
amount paid by the Sellers in satisfaction of a claim for breach of the Tax Warranties
in respect of the Liability to Taxation or Claim for Taxation in question. |

the amount by which any claim (including a Warranty Claim) is increased as a result of;
or |
| 1.3. | where
the delay in the discovery of any Warranty Claim arises from; |
fraud,
deceit or wilful concealment by the Sellers or any of their officers. The amount, or the increase in the amount, of any such claim

Time
Limits
| 2. | The Sellers
shall not be liable for any claim (including a Warranty Claim) unless the Buyer gives
written notice of such claim to the Sellers, containing such details of the claim, including
its anticipated value, as the Buyer has available to it: |
| 2.1. | in
the case of a Warranty Claim under the Tax Warranties prior to the expiry of seven years
following the date of Completion; or |
| 2.2. | in
the case of any other claim (including a Warranty Claim), prior to the expiry of 2 years
from the date of Completion, and |
liability
for the claim is accepted by the Seller in writing or court proceedings in respect of such claim are instituted and duly served
in either case within 6 months from the last day for notification of the claim under sub paragraphs 2.1 or 2.2 (as applicable).
Thresholds
| 3. | No claim
for breach of any Warranty shall be made by the Buyer until the aggregate liability for
all claims under this Agreement (including all previous claims whether or not satisfied
and including costs) shall equal or exceed £35,000 in which case the whole amount
shall be capable of being claimed and not merely the excess. |
| 4. | The Sellers’
combined maximum aggregate liability in respect of all claims under this Agreement (including
but not limited to Warranty Claims, indemnity claims under clauses 4.3, 5.8 and 9.1 and
including interest, costs, fines, penalties and surcharges) is limited to the Consideration. |
Further
Restrictions
| 5. | The Sellers
shall not be liable for any Warranty Claim (other than a claim for breach under the Tax
Warranties in respect of any Liability to Taxation (as defined in Part 1 of Schedule
3)) to the extent that the liability to which the Warranty Claim relates is attributable
to any act, omission, transaction or arrangement of the Buyer (or persons deriving title
from it), or any member of the Buyer Group (including any change in the date to which
any member of the Group makes up its accounts, the accounting policy or treatment used
in preparing the accounts of any member of the Group or in the accounting bases or conventions
upon which any member of the Group values its assets) which act, omission, transaction
or arrangement: |
| 5.1. | was

of the Sellers’ liability for any Warranty Claim (other than a claim for breach
under the Tax Warranties in respect of any Liability to Taxation (as defined in Part

| 6.1. | any
sum which is recovered (whether by way of insurance, indemnification or otherwise) by
the Buyer or a member of the Buyer Group (otherwise than from another of those companies)
in respect of the loss or damage suffered by reason of the relevant breach, less the
amount of any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in obtaining payment of that sum
and of any Taxation for which the Buyer or a member of the Buyer Group may be liable
by reason of its receipt of that sum; |
| 6.2. | the
amount, if any by which any Taxation for which any member of the Group or the Buyer is
or would be liable but for the circumstances giving rise to the Warranty Claim is reduced
or extinguished by reason of the circumstances giving rise to the Warranty Claim, |
and if the Sellers have
paid to the Buyer any amount in respect of the Warranty Claim before the recovery of that sum, the Buyer shall repay to them,
or procure the repayment to them of, the amount by which its liability is so reduced.
No
Double Recovery
| 7. | The Buyer
shall not be entitled to recover damages or otherwise obtain reimbursement or restitution
more than once in respect of the same loss. |
Contingent
Claims
| 8. | If the Warranty
Claim arises in connection with a liability of any member of the Group which, at the
time at which the claim is notified to the Sellers, is contingent then the Sellers will
have no obligation to make any payment to the Buyer in respect of that breach unless
and until such time as the contingent liability ceases to be contingent and becomes an
actual liability. So long as any Warranty Claim arising by reason of a contingent liability
shall have been notified to the Seller in accordance with paragraph 2, then paragraph
2 shall be amended in relation to such Warranty Claim so as to require that liability
for the Warranty Claim be accepted by the Sellers in writing or court proceedings in
respect of the Warranty Claim be instituted within 90 days from the date on which the
said liability ceases to be contingent, provided that if such contingent liability shall
not have become an actual liability by the fourth anniversary of the date of this Agreement,
such Warranty Claim shall no longer be capable of recovery from the Sellers under this
Agreement. |
Duty
to Mitigate
| 9. | Nothing contained
in this Schedule shall limit the Buyer’s obligations at common law or the obligation
of any member of the Group to mitigate any loss or damage resulting from or arising as
a consequence of any circumstances giving rise to any Warranty Claim. |
Taxation
| 10. | The Sellers’
liability under the Tax Warranties shall be limited further in accordance with the provisions
of Schedule 3. |
