each a Party and together, the Parties.

BACKGROUND:

(A) The Parent is the ultimate holding company of the Sellers and the Deferred Sellers.

(B) The Parent and the Purchaser wish to establish a joint venture in respect of the Kantar Business in which, from First Completion, the Parent will hold a direct or indirect equity interest of 40 per cent. and the Purchaser will hold a direct or indirect equity interest of 60 per cent, when established. The overall steps required to establish the proposed joint venture are set out in the EY Acquisition Steps Paper. The relationship between the shareholders in such joint venture shall be governed by the Shareholders’ Agreement.

(C) In order to facilitate the establishment of such joint venture, the Parent wishes to procure that the Sellers and the Deferred Sellers sell, and the Purchaser wishes to purchase or procure that its Designated Purchasers purchase, the Relevant Target Company Equity Interests and any Deferred Target Subsidiary Equity Interests on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in this agreement. UK Bidco is a holding company of the Designated Purchasers of certain of the Relevant Target Company Equity Interests, as set out in the EY Acquisition Steps Paper.

IT IS AGREED as follows:

1. INTERPRETATION

1.1 In addition to terms defined elsewhere in this agreement, the definitions and other provisions in Schedule 5 apply throughout this agreement, unless the contrary intention appears.

1.2 In this agreement, unless the contrary intention appears, a reference to a clause, subclause or schedule is a reference to a clause, subclause or schedule of or to this agreement. The schedules form part of this agreement.

1.3 The headings in this agreement do not affect its interpretation.

2. SALE AND PURCHASE

2.1 Subject to the Conditions being satisfied or, where applicable, waived:

2

(a) the Parent shall procure that each of the Sellers sells and transfers, and the Purchaser shall purchase and acquire or procure that its Designated Purchasers purchase and acquire, the Relevant Target Company Equity Interests; and

(b) the Parent shall procure that each of the Deferred Sellers sells and transfers, and the Purchaser shall purchase and acquire or procure that its Designated Purchasers purchase and acquire, any Deferred Target Subsidiary Equity Interests.

2.2 The Parent shall procure that the Sellers shall sell the full legal and beneficial ownership in and to the Relevant Target Company Equity Interests and the Deferred Sellers shall sell the full legal and beneficial ownership in and to the Deferred Target Subsidiary Equity Interests, in each case with full title guarantee, free from all Encumbrances and together with all rights attaching to them.

2.3 The Parties acknowledge and agree that:

(a) the sales and purchases contemplated by this agreement and the establishment of the joint venture between the Parties in respect of the Kantar Business referred to in Recital (B) above shall be effected in accordance with the EY Acquisition Steps Paper (as may be amended by mutual agreement in writing between the Parties acting reasonably with a view to optimising the structure in an economically neutral way), this agreement and the other Transaction Documents; and

(b) the funds flows in connection with the transactions referred to in paragraph (a) above shall be in accordance with the funds flows shown in the Project Summer Summary of Funds Flows (which shows the flow of funds in connection with such transactions on the bases and using the assumptions set out in such document), adjusted as necessary to reflect the actual events which occur, pursuant to the Transaction Documents, in relation to the matters covered by such bases and assumptions.

2.4 The Parties acknowledge that the sales and purchases contemplated by this agreement are reflected in the EY Acquisition Steps Paper as Steps 12a, 15, 16, 39 and D4.

3. OVERALL TRANSACTION VALUE

3.1 The Parties agree that the principles underpinning the overall value to the Retained Group of the transactions referred to in the Recitals to this agreement (the Overall Transaction) are as follows:

(a) the headline value to the Retained Group for the Kantar Business as at the Locked Box Date will be $3,604,000,000 (the Total Headline Base Consideration), of which $65,000,000 is the maximum potential deferred consideration payable in accordance with clause 16;

(b) a ticking fee reflecting profit foregone by the Retained Group since the Locked Box Date to the date of completion will be applied to the Total Headline Base Consideration at a rate of 4.8% per annum;

(c) following the implementation of the steps in the EY Acquisition Steps Paper, the Parent and the Purchaser (together with US BlockerCo as defined in the EY Acquisition Steps Paper) will (directly or indirectly) own shares in the joint venture established between them in relation to the Kantar Business in the ratio 40 per cent. /60 per cent.;

(d) the Kantar joint venture will be geared in the ratio of approximately 75 per cent. debt to 25 per cent. equity (unless otherwise agreed between the Parent and the Purchaser acting reasonably), such that, of the sum of $3,539,000,000 referred to in (a) above (being the Total Headline Base Consideration minus the $65,000,000) (the Total Consideration),

3

approximately 90% will flow to the members of the Retained Group as a mixture of cash proceeds and the issuance or assignment (as the case may be) of the WPP fees receivable and the MIP note receivable as referred to in and in accordance with Steps 15 and 16 of the EY Acquisition Steps Paper respectively (the Non-Cash Proceeds) in respect of the Overall Transaction;

(e) the Project Summer Summary of Funds Flows shows a worked example of the funds flows in relation to the Overall Transaction in accordance with the principles in this clause 3.1 and on the assumed bases of a single closing for the disposal of 100 per cent. of the Parent’s current indirect interest in the Kantar Business taking place on 30 November 2019 and the funds flows amounts will alter according to the principles set out in this clause 3.1, the other provisions of this agreement and the EY Acquisition Steps Paper to reflect the actual events which occur, pursuant to the Transaction Documents, in relation to the matters covered by such bases and assumptions set out in the Project Summer Summary of Funds Flows;

(f) New US JVCo, consolidated with all of its Target Subsidiaries, being the US part of the Target Group, will account for $666,710,585 of the Total Consideration and the remainder of the Total Consideration will be allocated to the other business units within the Kantar Business in accordance with clause 5.2; and

(g) the above figures assume that there are no Non-Transferable Target Subsidiary Equity Interests.

3.2 On the terms and subject to the conditions of this agreement, the Parties shall ensure (to the full extent within their power to do so) that the Overall Transaction will be implemented in accordance with the above principles and in a way which delivers the overall value to the Retained Group set out in clause 3.1 above.

4. CONSIDERATION FOR THE SALE AND PURCHASE

4.1 The aggregate consideration for the sale of all Target Company Equity Interests (other than the Target Company Equity Interests in Summer (BC) US JVCo GP S.à x.x) and all Deferred Target Subsidiary Equity Interests shall be:

(a) the Total Consideration;

(b) plus the Initial Profit Amount;

(c) plus the Deferred Profit Amounts;

(d) minus the overall value reinvested into and retained in the Kantar Business by the Retained Group pursuant to the EY Acquisition Steps Paper (but excluding: (a) the amount of the “WPP Fees Receivable” received by WPP 2005 Limited under Step 15 and contributed by WPP 2005 Limited to RoW JVCo under step 21b thereof; and (b) the amount of the “MIP Note Receivable” received by WPP 2005 Limited under step 16 thereof); and

(e) minus the amount of the distribution by US HoldCo A LLC pursuant to Step 36 of the EY Acquisition Steps Paper,

((a) to (e) above in aggregate being the Aggregate Consideration).

4

4.2 On the First Completion Date, the Purchaser shall pay in cash or deliver in Non-Cash Proceeds to the Parent, on account of the Aggregate Consideration, an amount equal to the aggregate of:

(a) the Initial Base Consideration;

(b) plus the Initial Profit Amount,

((a) and (b) above in aggregate being the First Completion Amount).

4.3 On each Deferred Completion Date, the Purchaser shall pay in cash to the Parent, or the relevant Designated Purchaser shall pay to the relevant Deferred Seller (if a direct payment from purchaser to seller is required by applicable law), on account of the Aggregate Consideration, an amount equal to the aggregate of:

(a) the Deferred Base Consideration in respect of each Deferred Completion taking place on that Deferred Completion Date;

(b) plus the Deferred Profit Amount in relation to that Deferred Completion Date,

((a) and (b) above in aggregate being the Deferred Completion Amount).

4.4 Each payment of cash and delivery of Non-Cash Proceeds required under this clause 4 must be made in full on the date specified in relation to that payment or delivery and, in the case of cash, in immediately available cash funds by wire transfer, except in relation to the Non-Cash Proceeds.

4.5 Any payment made by the Parent or a Seller (as applicable) to the Purchaser or by the Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser to the Parent or a Seller (as applicable) under this agreement or the Tax Deed (whether as damages for breach, under a covenant to pay or otherwise) and any payment made or procured by UK Bidco or a Target Subsidiary to the Parent or the relevant Seller under clauses 16, 17 or 18 shall, to the extent possible, be deemed to reduce or increase (as applicable) the Aggregate Consideration.

4.6 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this agreement, if any portion of the Aggregate Consideration is required under applicable law, or as otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, to be paid in a local currency to a particular Seller or Deferred Seller, the relevant portion of the Deferred Completion Amount shall be converted into the applicable local currency on the date falling three Business Days prior to the due date for payment of the relevant amount at the Exchange Rate and paid on the due date by the Purchaser or the Designated Purchaser to the Parent, the relevant Seller or the relevant Deferred Seller, as applicable, in accordance with this clause 4.

4.7 The Parent shall procure that following First Completion, any members of the Target Group that have not yet transferred into the Group (as defined in the Shareholders’ Agreement) will continue to pay management overheads charged by the Target Group on a consistent basis to that reflected in the Total FY18 Baseline EBITDA.

5. AGREED ALLOCATIONS

5.1 The Parties agree that the Agreed Allocation of the Total Consideration for New US JVCo, consolidated with all of its Target Subsidiaries, being the US part of the Target Group, is $666,710,585.

5

5.2 The Parties shall agree the remaining Agreed Allocation of the Total Consideration minus $666,710,585 to the Target Companies and Target Subsidiaries (other than New US JVCo, consolidated with all of its Target Subsidiaries, being the US part of the Target Group) in good faith and acting reasonably, as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event prior to First Completion, using a calculation methodology which takes into account the EBITDA and net debt details of each such Target Company and Target Subsidiary and the basis of allocation of the $666,710,585 to the US part of the Target Group.

5.3 Where, between the date of this agreement and First Completion (in respect of any Non-Wholly Owned Target Subsidiary which is a First Completion Target Subsidiary) or the relevant Deferred Completion (in respect of any Non-Wholly Owned Target Subsidiary which is a Deferred Target Subsidiary), the Parent notifies the Purchaser that the percentage of Equity Interests in a Non-Wholly Owned Target Subsidiary held directly or indirectly by the Parent is greater or lower than the percentage set out in the Master Entity Spreadsheet as a result of the exercise or operation of pre-existing rights and obligations of the relevant member of the Target Group or Retained Group (as the case may be) which owns such Equity Interests or a third party shareholder or shareholders in such Non-Wholly Owned Target Subsidiary, then the Parties shall work together, acting reasonably and in good faith, to determine and agree in writing any adjustment to the consideration to be paid by the Purchaser in respect of such greater or lower Equity Interests.

(b) not enter into (and will procure that no member of the Purchaser’s Group enters into) any other agreement or arrangement (or cause another person acting on its behalf to enter into any agreement or arrangement) where the effect of any such agreement or arrangement is likely to affect, delay, impede or in any respect prejudice the fulfilment of the Conditions in clause 6.1(a) or the obtaining of the Foreign Investment Approvals or Other Competition Approvals;

(c) pay all of the Purchaser’s costs and expenses (including all filing fees) in relation to such filings; and

To the

8

extent any such Remedy relates to the Target Group, with effect from First Completion each of the Purchaser and Parent shall (in so far as it is able) procure that the Target Group complies therewith.

6.4 In connection with the satisfaction of the Conditions in clause 6.1(a) and the obtaining of the Foreign Investment Approvals and any Other Competition Approvals, the Purchaser shall:

(a) provide all information which is requested or required by any Regulatory Authority;

(b) promptly (and in any event within one Business Day) notify the Parent of any communication (whether written or oral) from a Regulatory Authority and provide copies, or in the case of non-written communications, details of any such communications;

(c) give the Parent reasonable notice of all meetings with a Regulatory Authority and give the Parent reasonable opportunity to participate at such meetings (save to the extent that a Regulatory Authority expressly requests that the Parent should not be present at the meeting or part or parts of the meeting);

(d) give the Parent reasonable notice of all telephone calls or other communications with a Regulatory Authority and give the Parent reasonable opportunity to participate in such telephone calls (save to the extent that a Regulatory Authority expressly requests that the Parent should not be present at the telephone call or part or parts of the telephone call);

(e) promptly inform the Parent of the content of any meetings, calls or other communications with any Regulatory Authority to the extent the Parent was not present;

(f) provide the Parent in advance with final drafts of all written communications intended to be sent to a Regulatory Authority, give the Parent a reasonable opportunity to comment on them, not send such communications without the prior approval of the Parent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) and provide the Parent with final copies of all communications subject in each case to exclusion by the Purchaser of information that it reasonably considers to be confidential to it (provided that such confidential information is provided to the Parent’s Solicitors on an attorney only basis);

(g) regularly review with the Parent the progress of any notifications or filings;

(h) upon becoming aware of any fact, matter or circumstance which could reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the satisfaction of any Condition in clause 6.1(a) or the obtaining of a Foreign Investment Approval or any Other Competition Approval, immediately inform the Parent and provide full details of such fact, matter or circumstance; and

(i) notify the Parent of any clearance or rejection received from any Regulatory Authority as soon as practicable and in any event within one Business Day after receipt of a decision or communication from any Regulatory Authority confirming such clearance or rejection and provide the Parent with copies of all related documentation received from the Regulatory Authority as soon as practicable after receipt,

provided that the Purchaser shall not be required to provide the Parent with any documents or information, or with the right to attend any meetings or telephone calls or other communications, to the extent that the same contains or relates to information that the Purchaser considers (acting reasonably) to be confidential or commercially sensitive to it or any other member of the Purchaser’s Group or any of its portfolio companies (provided that such confidential information is provided to the Parent’s Solicitors on an attorney only basis) or privileged but only in circumstances where such action is not reasonably likely to delay, impede or in any respect

9

prejudice the fulfilment of the Conditions in clause 6.1(a) or the obtaining of the Foreign Investment Approvals or the Other Competition Approvals.

6.5 The Parent shall, and shall (in so far as it is able) procure that each other member of the WPP Group shall, use its reasonable endeavours to co-operate with the Purchaser and provide such assistance as is reasonably necessary (and that it is reasonably able to provide), and to provide to a Regulatory Authority such information as is reasonably necessary (and that it is reasonably able to provide), and in any event all information as is necessary, in each case to ensure that the Conditions in clause 6.1(a) are fulfilled and the Foreign Investment Approvals and any Other Competition Approvals are obtained as soon as is reasonably practicable. The Purchaser shall not be in breach of this clause 6 to the extent caused by the Parent’s failure to comply with the foregoing or clause 6.6.

6.6 The Parent shall be entitled to keep confidential and shall not be obliged to disclose to the Purchaser or any of its advisers any confidential, commercially sensitive or financial information regarding the Parent and the Retained Group, provided that the Parent shall be required to disclose such information where it is necessary to do so (and only to the extent necessary) in order to ensure that the Conditions in clause 6.1(a), and any notifications required in connection with satisfaction of such Conditions, are fulfilled, and/or to ensure that the Foreign Investment Approvals and any Other Competition Approvals are obtained, in which case such information shall be disclosed on a confidential, attorney only basis.

6.7 The Parent shall use all reasonable endeavours to procure (so far as it is so able to procure) that the Condition in clause 6.1(b) is satisfied as soon as is reasonably practicable and, in any event, on or before the First Long Stop Date. The Parent shall notify the Purchaser of the outcome of the vote on the Parent Shareholder Resolution as soon as practicable and in any event within one Business Day thereafter.

6.8 Without prejudice to clause 6.7, the Parent shall:

(a) give the Purchaser reasonable opportunity to comment on regular drafts of those parts of the Parent’s Circular which relate to any description of the Transaction or the Purchaser’s Group;

(b) finalise the Parent’s Circular as soon as reasonably practicable and, subject to the approval of the UK Financial Conduct Authority, despatch the Parent’s Circular to its shareholders promptly after receipt of such approval;

(c) convene a Parent General Meeting for the purposes of considering and, if thought fit, passing the resolution(s) of the Parent referred to in clause 6.1(b) to be held as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this agreement;

(d) once convened, procure (to the extent that it is so able) that the Parent General Meeting is not adjourned or postponed;

(e) procure that the Parent Shareholder Resolution is proposed as a stand-alone resolution and not combined with or conditional upon any other resolution; and

(f) procure that the Parent Board Recommendation is given and not adversely modified or revoked prior to the Parent General Meeting unless the directors of the Parent determine that such Parent Board Recommendation should not be given or should be withdrawn or modified in order to comply with their fiduciary duties as directors.

6.9 The Parent shall, subject to clauses 24.5 to 24.8 (inclusive), use all reasonable endeavours to procure that the First Completion Kantar Reorganisation is carried out and all legal or regulatory approvals or restrictions in connection with the transfer of potential Non-Transferable Target

10

Subsidiary Equity Interests (excluding those set out in paragraph (d) of the definition thereof) (in each case in so far as it is within its power to do so) are obtained or resolved, in each case as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this agreement and in any event so as to allow First Completion to occur prior to the First Long Stop Date with the Condition set out in clause 6.1(c)(i) being satisfied rather than waived. The Parent shall notify the Purchaser if the Condition set out in clause 6.1(c)(i) is satisfied or becomes incapable of satisfaction as soon as practicable and in any event within two Business Days of becoming aware thereof. The Parent shall procure that no Target Company or Target Subsidiary is directly or indirectly transferred to the Purchaser on First Completion or any Deferred Completion unless and until the Purchaser has obtained the Foreign Investment Approvals.

6.10 The Purchaser shall use reasonable endeavours:

(a) to co-operate with the Parent and provide such assistance as is reasonably necessary (and that it is reasonably able to provide), and to provide to the Parent or any Regulatory Authority such information as is reasonably necessary (and that it is reasonably able to provide), and in any event all information as is necessary, in order to ensure that the First Completion Kantar Reorganisation is carried out; and

(b) to obtain any other approvals (not being a Global Competition Approval, a Foreign Investment Approval or an Other Competition Approval) which after the date of this agreement the Purchaser determines (acting reasonably) are required by the Purchaser or any other member of the Purchaser’s Group from a Regulatory Authority in relation to the transfer of the Target Companies or the Target Subsidiary Equity Interests in the Target Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of this agreement,

in each case as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this agreement and in any event so as to allow First Completion to occur before the First Long Stop Date.

6.11 Where the Parent believes, in its absolute discretion, that the Condition(s) in clause 6.1(a) and/or 6.1(c) will not be satisfied, and in the case of the Condition set out in clause 6.1(c)(i) will not be capable of being waived pursuant to the proviso to clause 6.1, by the First Long Stop Date, it may, by notice in writing to the Purchaser given at least 20 Business Days prior to the First Long Stop Date, extend the First Long Stop Date to the date which is nine months after the date of this agreement, and such revised date shall be deemed to be the First Long Stop Date for the purposes of this agreement.

(a) except for this clause and the Surviving Provisions, all the provisions of this agreement shall lapse and cease to have effect; but

(b) neither the lapsing of those provisions nor their ceasing to have effect shall affect any accrued rights or liabilities of any Party in respect of damages for non-performance of any obligation under this agreement falling due for performance prior to such lapse and cessation.

6.13 From and including the date of this agreement until the conclusion of the Parent General Meeting (the Exclusivity Period), the Parent agrees that it and each other member of the WPP Group will not, whether individually or by or through any employee, director, adviser, agent or other person (each member of the WPP Group and all such persons, together, the Seller’s

During the Exclusivity Period, the Parent will not, and it will procure that each other member of the Seller’s Group will not, enter into any agreement or arrangement to effect any Restricted Transaction with any person except the Purchaser or another member of the Purchaser’s Group, and will not take any action which would be inconsistent with the terms of this clause 6.13.

(iii) keep the Purchaser reasonably informed of the status of its efforts to obtain all such consents, approvals, authorisations and similar matters from third parties; and

8. FIRST COMPLETION

8.1 First Completion shall take place at the offices of the Parent’s Solicitors on the date falling 20 Business Days after the date on which the last of the Conditions is satisfied (or, in the case of the Condition in clause 6.1(c), satisfied or waived in accordance with clause 6.1), or at such other place and date as agreed in writing between the Parties.

8.2 For the purposes of determining the First Completion Amount to be paid or delivered by the Purchaser to the Parent on First Completion, no later than seven Business Days prior to First Completion, a notification (the Pre-First Completion Statement) shall be delivered to the Purchaser by or on behalf of the Parent setting out (as at the First Completion Date):

(a) the list of First Completion Target Subsidiaries;

(b) the Initial Base Consideration; and

(c) the Initial Profit Amount.

The Parent will use reasonable endeavours to procure that the Pre-First Completion Statement will be signed (without personal liability) by: (i) the Chief Financial Officer of the Kantar Business (but for the avoidance of doubt any failure by him/her to do so shall not prejudice the timing and manner of First Completion hereunder); or (ii) failing him/her, by the Chief Financial Officer or Deputy Chief Financial Officer of the WPP Group.

8.3 At First Completion:

(a) the Parent shall observe and perform, and (where applicable) procure that the Sellers observe and perform, the provisions of Part 1 of Schedule 4 in connection with the transfer of the Target Company Equity Interests;

(b) the Purchaser shall observe and perform, and (where applicable) procure that the Designated Purchasers observe and perform, the provisions of Part 2 of Schedule 4 in connection with the transfer of the Target Company Equity Interests; and

(c) the Parties shall observe and perform, and (where applicable) procure that the Sellers observe and perform or procure that the Designated Purchasers observe and perform (as the case may be), the provisions of Part 3 of Schedule 4 in connection with the transfer of the Target Company Equity Interests in the Dutch Target Companies.

8.4 If:

(a) the Parent fails to comply with the provisions of Part 1 of Schedule 4 in connection with the transfer of the Target Company Equity Interests; or

(b) the Purchaser fails to comply with the provisions of Part 2 of Schedule 4 in connection with the transfer of the Target Company Equity Interests; or

(c) either Party fails to comply with its obligations under the provisions of Part 3 of Schedule 4 in connection with the transfer of the Target Company Equity Interests in the Dutch Target Companies,

the Parent (in the case of non-compliance by the Purchaser) or the Purchaser (in the case of non-compliance by the Parent) may elect (in addition and without prejudice to all other rights and remedies available to it) by notice to the other:

17

(a) not to complete (or procure the completion of) the sale and purchase of the Target Company Equity Interests, in which case the provisions of clause 8.5 shall apply; or

(b) to fix a new date for First Completion (being not more than 20 Business Days after the original date for First Completion) in which case the provisions of clauses 8.3 and Schedule 4 shall apply to First Completion as so postponed but on the basis that such postponement may occur only once.

8.5 If the Parent or the Purchaser (as relevant) elects not to complete the sale of the Target Company Equity Interests under clause 8.4:

(a) except for this clause 8.5 and the Surviving Provisions, all the provisions of this agreement shall lapse and cease to have effect; and

(b) neither the lapsing of those provisions nor their ceasing to have effect shall affect any accrued rights or liabilities of any party in respect of damages for non-performance of any obligation falling due for performance prior to such lapse and cessation.

8.6 The exact timing of the performance by the Parties of the requirements of clause 8.3 and Schedule 4 may be adjusted by agreement in writing between the Parent and the Purchaser to enable the separation of (1) the completion of the sale and purchase of the relevant Equity Interests in the Target Companies Summer (BC) US JVCo SCSp and Summer (BC) US JVCo GP S.a x.x from (2) the completion of the sale of the relevant Equity Interests in the other Target Companies, in order to:

(a) manage the international time zones and money flows involved in First Completion; and

(b) ensure that the pre-sale distribution by US Holdco A LLC pursuant to Step 36 of the EY Acquisition Steps Paper takes place before the completion of the sale and purchase of the relevant Equity Interests in the Target Companies Summer (BC) US JVCo SCSp and Summer (BC) US JVCo GP S.a x.x,

provided always that all of the requirements of clause 8.3 and Schedule 4 are met on the First Completion Date.

8.7 Following First Completion, the Parties shall execute, or procure the execution of, all documents, and perform, or procure the performance of, all other acts and things, in each case as are required or necessary in order to implement Steps 12b, 12c and 17 to 22 (inclusive) of the EY Acquisition Steps Paper.

9. DEFERRED COMPLETIONS

9.1 The Parent shall use reasonable endeavours to procure that the Deferred Completion Kantar Reorganisation is carried out, and all legal or regulatory approvals or restrictions in connection with the transfer of any Deferred Target Subsidiary Equity Interests including any potential Non-Transferable Target Subsidiary Equity Interests (excluding those set out in paragraph (d) of the definition thereof) (in each case in so far as it is within its power to do so and other than in respect of any Non-Wholly Owned Target Subsidiaries) are obtained or resolved, as soon as reasonably practicable after First Completion and in any event so as to allow any Deferred Completions to occur prior to the Second Long Stop Date.

9.2 The Parent:

(a) shall (in so far as it is able) procure that the voting rights attaching to any Equity Interests held directly by a member of the WPP Group in a Non-Wholly Owned Target Subsidiary

18

and (subject to their fiduciary duties and in so far as it is so able) the voting rights of the directors or equivalent appointed by the Parent or any wholly owned member of the WPP Group to the board of directors of a Non-Wholly Owned Target Subsidiary, are exercised; and

(b) shall provide such assistance as is reasonably necessary (and that it is reasonably able to provide),

in each case so as to facilitate all legal or regulatory approvals or restrictions in connection with the transfer of any Deferred Target Subsidiary Equity Interests in any Non-Wholly Owned Target Subsidiaries being obtained or resolved as soon as reasonably practicable after First Completion and in any event so as to allow any Deferred Completions to occur prior to the Second Long Stop Date.

9.3 The Purchaser shall use reasonable endeavours:

(a) to co-operate with the Parent and provide such assistance as is reasonably necessary (and that it is reasonably able to provide), and to provide to the Parent or any Regulatory Authority such information as is reasonably necessary (and that it is reasonably able to provide), and in any event all information as is necessary, in order to ensure that the Deferred Completion Kantar Reorganisation is carried out; and

(b) to obtain any other approvals (not being a Global Competition Approval, a Foreign Investment Approval or an Other Competition Approval) which after the date of this agreement the Purchaser determines (acting reasonably) are required by the Purchaser or any other member of the Purchaser’s Group from a Regulatory Authority in relation to the transfer of the Target Companies or the Target Subsidiary Equity Interests in the Target Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of this agreement,

in each case as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this agreement and in any event so as to allow any Deferred Completions to occur before the Second Long Stop Date.

9.4 Once all legal or regulatory approvals or restrictions to the transfer of any Deferred Target Subsidiary Equity Interests in a particular Deferred Target Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of this agreement are obtained or resolved, the Parent shall promptly give notice in writing to the Purchaser of the same and, subject to clause 9.5, specify a date, being 20 Business Days after the date the notice is served, on which the Deferred Completion in respect of those Deferred Target Subsidiary Equity Interests is to take place, provided that the Parent shall be entitled to delay specifying a date on which such Deferred Completion is to take place in order to arrange for two or more Deferred Completions to take place on the same date.

9.5 The Parties acknowledge that, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties:

(a) a Deferred Completion in respect of a particular Deferred Target Subsidiary shall not take place where such Deferred Target Subsidiary is part of a Subsidiary Grouping until such time as all legal or regulatory approvals or restrictions relating to the transfer of all other Deferred Target Subsidiary Equity Interests in the same Subsidiary Grouping pursuant to the Deferred Completion Kantar Reorganisation or pursuant to this agreement are obtained or resolved;

(b) there shall be no more than: (i) one Deferred Completion Date in any 20 Business Day period; and (ii) four Deferred Completion Dates in total; and

(c) no Deferred Completion shall take place after the Second Long Stop Date or (save with the prior written consent of the Purchaser) prior to 31 January 2020.

19

9.6 For the purposes of determining the Deferred Completion Amount to be paid by the Purchaser to the Parent on each Deferred Completion, no later than seven Business Days prior to the relevant Deferred Completion Date, a notification (a Pre-Deferred Completion Statement) shall be delivered to the Purchaser by or on behalf of the Parent setting out (as at the relevant Deferred Completion Date):

(a) the list of Deferred Target Subsidiaries;

(b) the Deferred Base Consideration in respect of each Deferred Completion taking place on that Deferred Completion Date; and

(c) the Deferred Profit Amount in relation to that Deferred Completion.

The Parent will procure that each Pre-Deferred Completion Statement will be signed (without personal liability) by the Chief Financial Officer or Deputy Chief Financial Officer of the WPP Group.

9.7 At each Deferred Completion:

(a) the Parent shall procure that the Deferred Sellers shall execute and deliver such local law transfer agreements and any other instruments and take such other action as may be required or necessary to transfer the Deferred Target Subsidiary Equity Interests the subject of that Deferred Completion to the Purchaser or its Designated Purchaser;

(b) the Purchaser shall execute and deliver or procure the execution and delivery by its Designated Purchaser of such local law transfer agreements and any other instruments and shall take or procure the taking of such other action as may be necessary to purchase and acquire the Deferred Target Subsidiary Equity Interests the subject of that Deferred Completion;

(c) the Purchaser shall make, or procure that the relevant Designated Purchaser shall make, a payment in cash to the Parent (or the relevant Deferred Seller as the Parent directs) of an amount equal to the Deferred Completion Amount, as specified in the relevant Pre-Deferred Completion Statement;

(d) the Parent shall pay (on behalf of the relevant member of the Retained Group) in cash, to each Deferred Target Subsidiary in which Deferred Target Subsidiary Equity Interests are the subject of that Deferred Completion, an amount equal to any Tax Consolidation Receivable Amount in respect of that Deferred Target Subsidiary, if and to the extent that the entitlement of that Deferred Target Subsidiary to receive such Tax Consolidation Receivable Amount has not been satisfied before that Deferred Completion; and

(e) the Purchaser shall procure that each Deferred Target Subsidiary in which Deferred Target Subsidiary Equity Interests are the subject of that Deferred Completion pays in cash to the Parent (on behalf of the relevant member of the Retained Group) an amount equal to any Tax Consolidation Payment Amount in respect of each such Deferred Target Subsidiary, if and to the extent that the liability of that Deferred Target Subsidiary to pay such Tax Consolidation Payment Amount has not been discharged before that Deferred Completion.

9.8 Prior to each Deferred Completion, the Purchaser shall execute, or procure the execution of, all documents, and perform, or procure the performance of, all other acts and things, in each case as are required or necessary in order to implement Steps D1 to D3 (inclusive) of the EY Acquisition Steps Paper.

20

9.9 Intentionally left blank.

9.10 If, in good time before a Deferred Completion is due to take place pursuant to this agreement, either Party considers that there is a more optimum method, in terms of legal steps, for facilitating and effecting such Deferred Completion and positioning the relevant Deferred Target Subsidiaries within the joint venture referred to in Recital (B) to this agreement than Steps D1 to D4 (inclusive) of the EY Acquisition Steps Paper, in a way which is economically better (or at least neutral) for the Parties and which maintains (subject to any permitted issuances or transfers of securities pursuant to the Shareholders’ Agreement between First Completion and such Deferred Completion) the 40 per cent./60 per cent. division of equity interests in such joint venture, the Parties shall discuss the matter in good faith with a view to agreeing alternative steps and implementing such alternative steps prior to, on and following such Deferred Completion.

9.11 The Parties intend that, subject to the terms of this agreement and the Shareholders’ Agreement, immediately following First Completion and (subject to any permitted issuances or transfers of securities pursuant to the Shareholders’ Agreement between First Completion and Deferred Completion) each Deferred Completion, the Parent will hold a direct or indirect equity interest of 40 per cent., and the Purchaser will hold a direct or indirect equity interest of 60 per cent., in the joint venture to be established pursuant to the EY Acquisition Steps Paper and the Shareholders’ Agreement in respect of the Kantar Business. Each Party shall procure the execution of such documents, and perform, or procure the performance of, all further acts and things, in each case as are required, necessary or desirable in order to give effect to this intention.

10.17 If an amount claimed that would be payable by the Parent under this clause 10 may be subject to Tax in the hands of the recipient, then the Parent and the Purchaser shall consult in good faith for a period of not less than 10 Business Days (or such longer or shorter period as they may agree in writing) with a view to agreeing an acceptable arrangement for satisfying the obligation to pay the amount so claimed in an efficient manner that does not prejudice the interests of any member of the Target Group or any member of the Purchaser’s Group.

final settlement as between the Parties of any claims relating to or arising from the Misstatement) by the payment immediately prior to First Completion by the Parent or another member of the Retained Group to the Target Group of an amount in cash of US$4,406,083, which amount shall be treated and paid as an additional amount of Leakage notwithstanding that it does not fall within the definition of Leakage in Schedule 5 except that no Leakage Interest shall be payable on such amount; and

(b) notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement, neither the Parent nor any other member of the Retained Group shall have any liability under any provision of this agreement other than under paragraph (a) above (including, without limitation, the Warranties) in respect of the Misstatement.

23.6 The Parties acknowledge and agree that additional services schedules (including service descriptions, service terms and service charges) not currently set out in the Non-IT Transitional Services Agreement (Additional Non-IT TSA Services Schedules) may be required and, if

39

so, those Additional Non-IT TSA Services Schedules shall be negotiated and agreed on the following bases:

(a) the scope of the additional services, including the descriptions of those services, shall be:

If the Parties are unable to agree on the identity of the expert, the terms of the expert’s appointment or if the person proposed is unable or unwilling to act, then, within 7 days of either Party serving details of a suggested expert on the other or the proposed expert declining to act, either Party shall then be entitled to request the President for the time being of the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (or a successor to that body from time to time) to appoint an expert and to agree with the expert the terms of appointment on the application of either Party. If appointed, the expert shall determine the matter(s) which remain to be agreed in accordance with the principles set out above (the Matter for Separation Expert Determination).

(c) the expert shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator;

(i) any action required by the expert determination shall be implemented within 7 days following the expert determination being notified to the Parties or as specified within the determination;

(j) the costs of the determination, including the fees and expenses of the expert (but excluding the Parties’ own costs which shall be borne by the Party incurring those costs), shall be borne as determined by the expert; and

(k) the expert shall have no liability to the Parties for any act or omission in relation to this appointment, save in the case of bad faith.

23.13 The final form of the Reverse Transitional Services Agreement, once agreed in writing between the Parties pursuant to this clause, or determined in accordance with the Separation Expert Determination Process, shall become the Agreed Form of the Reverse Transitional Services Agreement.

23.14 The final form of the services schedules (including service descriptions, service terms and service charges) to the Non-IT Transitional Services Agreement and the Reverse Transitional Services Agreement, once agreed in writing between the Parties pursuant to this clause, or determined in accordance with the Separation Expert Determination Process, shall become part of the Non-IT Transitional Services Agreement or the Reverse Transitional Services Agreement (as applicable).

23.15 If and to the extent that the final form of any of the services schedules to the Non-IT Transitional Services Agreement have not been agreed between the Parties or determined by the expert pursuant to this clause prior to the First Completion Date, WPP 2005 Limited shall nonetheless continue to provide the Pre-First Completion Equivalent Non-IT TSA Services, in respect of the service(s) covered by the relevant services schedule(s) or the Additional Non-IT TSA Services Schedules which has yet to be agreed or determined, from the First Completion Date in the same manner and for the same service charges as the equivalent activities were performed and charged for immediately prior to the First Completion Date until such time as the final form of the relevant services schedule(s) to the Non-IT Transitional Services Agreement(s) has been so agreed or determined.

are, neither individually nor collectively, Conditions.

23.18 Notwithstanding any other clause of this agreement, if and to the extent that the final form of:

(a) any of the services schedules to the Non-IT Transitional Services Agreement;

(b) the Reverse Transitional Services Agreement; or

(c) any of the services schedules to the Reverse Transitional Services Agreement,

have not been agreed between the Parties or determined by the expert pursuant to this clause prior to the First Completion Date, it shall not delay or have any effect on First Completion.

23.19 The Parties acknowledge and agree that the IT Transitional Services Agreement and the services schedules to the IT Transitional Services Agreement (as contained in the IT Transitional Services Agreement) are in Agreed Form and, notwithstanding any other clause of this agreement, the IT Transitional Services Agreement and the services schedules to the IT Transitional Services Agreement (as contained in the IT Transitional Services Agreement) are, neither individually nor collectively, Conditions.

23.20 The Parties shall through the Separation Committee as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this agreement and in any case by no later than 30 September 2019 (the Verification Period), work together, acting reasonably and in good faith, to:

(a) agree a definitive list of Third Party Suppliers (i) on whom the Target Group has an operational dependency and (ii) from whom, goods and services (other than information technology services) are reasonably required for the operational needs of the Kantar Business. The list shall be based on Schedule 8 and the Parties shall act reasonably in determining whether each Third Party Supplier listed in Schedule 8 should be retained on the list and/or whether any additional Third Party Suppliers should be added to the list; and

(b) in relation to the Services (as defined in the IT Transitional Services Agreement) provided under Schedules 2, 3 and 5 of the IT Transitional Services Agreement, agree the Third Party Contracts (as defined in the IT Transitional Services Agreement) between Parent (or a member of the Retained Group) and the subcontractors of the applicable Services:

(i) in respect of which Parent (or a member of the Retained Group) will seek to negotiate an extension of the term of the Third Party Contract in accordance with Clause 23.22; and

43

(ii) in respect of which Parent (or a member of the Retained Group) will assist the Purchaser (or member of the Target Group) to enter a new agreement for services equivalent to those provided under the Third Party Contract in accordance with Clause 23.21.

For the avoidance of doubt a Third Party Contract may fall under Clause 23.20(b)(i) or 23.20(b)(ii) but not both.

23.21 The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the Third Party Suppliers included on the list referred to in Clause 23.20(a) at the conclusion of the Verification Period (or at such earlier date as the list is agreed between the Parties), (ii) the subcontractors under the Third Party Contracts to which Clause 23.20(b)(ii) applies, (iii) IBM, in respect of the Applications MSA and Infrastructure MSA and (iv) Sophos, in respect of Antivirus and Anti-Ransomware licences, together shall be the Agreed Third Party Suppliers. Parent (or a member of the Retained Group) shall provide reasonable assistance to the Purchaser, and use reasonable endeavours to facilitate discussions between the Purchaser and each Agreed Third Party Supplier (but, in respect of (A) subcontractors under the Third Party Contracts to which Clause 23.20(b)(ii) applies, only in relation to such Third Party Contracts, (B) IBM, only in respect of the Applications MSA and Infrastructure MSA and (C) Sophos, only in respect of Antivirus and Anti-Ransomware licences), with a view to a member of the Target Group entering into an agreement with each Agreed Third Party Supplier pursuant to which, following Completion, the Agreed Third Party Supplier shall provide goods or services to the Target Group that are equivalent to those goods or services provided to the Target Group prior to Completion pursuant to the relevant Shared Supplier Contract.

23.22 In circumstances where Clause 23.20(b)(i) applies or where Clause 23.23 applies, Parent (or a member of the Retained Group) shall seek to negotiate the extension of the term of the Third Party Contract. Prior to finalising an extension of the term of the Third Party Contract, Parent (or a member of the Retained Group) shall advise the Purchaser of the proposed charges payable under the Third Party Contract and any additional terms and conditions of the Third Party Contract that will apply during the extended term. The Purchaser shall inform Parent (or a member of the Retained Group) within a reasonable time of receiving such information if it wishes to proceed to extend the term of the Services under the IT Transitional Services Agreement to which the Third Party Contract relates, and, if so, Parent (or a member of the Retained Group) shall use reasonable endeavours to finalise the extension of the term of the Third Party Contract on terms that are materially the same as advised to the Purchaser and shall advise the Purchaser when the extension of the term of the Third Party Contract has been agreed.

23.23 If, with respect to any Third Party Contract included on the list referred to in Clause 23.20(a) and on which the Target Group has a material operational dependency, the Purchaser has failed to enter into its own arrangements (having used reasonable endeavours to do so), the Purchaser may, by written notice to the Parent, request that the Parent seeks an extension to that Third Party Contract (such extension to be no longer than is necessary to address the reasonable commercial needs of the Kantar Business). Following receipt of any such extension request, the Parent shall consider the extension request in good faith. If, having considered any such extension request in good faith, the Parent agrees to seek to negotiate such extension to the relevant Third Party Contract, Clause 23.22 shall apply.

23.24 In relation to Sophos:

(a) the Parties acknowledge that:

(i) the Parent (or a member of the Retained Group) has entered into an agreement with Sophos (Sophos Agreement) for licences of Antivirus and Anti-

44

Ransomware products for users (including 30,682 Target Group users) for the period up to and including 31 March 2021 (Sophos Agreement Term); and

(ii) Sophos has notified Parent (or a member of the Retained Group) that it will not permit Target Group to continue its use of the Antivirus and Anti-Ransomware under the Sophos Agreement post First Completion, but will transfer the 30,682 Target Group user licences to the Purchaser (or member of the Target Group) in the circumstances set out in Clause 23.24(b) and Clause 23.24(c); and

(b) the Purchaser agrees that:

(i) the Target Group must pay to Parent (or a member of the Retained Group) the licence fees of £330,248 (plus any applicable taxes) in advance for use of the Anti-Ransomware up to the end of the Sophos Agreement Term; and

(ii) it will execute a licence transfer agreement with Sophos prior to First Completion in order to have ongoing use of the Antivirus and Anti-Ransomware for 30,682 users up to the end of the Sophos Agreement Term (Sophos Transfer Agreement). The Purchaser and the Target Group shall have no right to use the Antivirus and Anti-Ransomware under the Sophos Agreement from First Completion; and

(c) if the Purchaser (or member of the Target Group) has complied with Clause 23.24(b), licences for Antivirus and Anti-Ransomware with a term ending on 31 March 2021 for 30, 682 users will be transferred under the Sophos Transfer Agreement to the Purchaser or member of the Target Group, as applicable.

23.25 The Parties shall through the Separation Committee as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this agreement and in any case by no later than 30 September 2019 undertake to use reasonable endeavours to simplify the invoicing procedures in relation to the services to be provided under the IT Transitional Services Agreement to the extent practicable.

Separation Committee

23.26 Within 10 Business Days of the date of this agreement, the Parties will establish a separation committee (the Separation Committee) comprising an equal number of representatives of each of the Parent, the Target Group and the Purchaser, each of sufficient seniority and expertise regarding the matters within the remit of the Separation Committee. The Separation Committee will meet regularly until First Completion and for so long thereafter as is reasonably necessary. The main purpose of the Separation Committee will be to consult with regard to the preparation, approval and oversight of the implementation of a plan to separate the Target Group from the Retained Group as updated and amended by mutual agreement of the Parent and the Purchaser (each acting reasonably and in good faith) from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt: (i) the Separation Committee will be a consultative body, the decisions of which will not be binding on the Parties unless and until documented in writing and signed by and on behalf of the Parties; and (ii) the remit of the Separation Committee will not include the finalisation, approval or implementation of the Kantar Reorganisation, which will be finalised, approved and implemented by the Parent in accordance with this agreement.

Separation Costs

23.27 Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, any separation costs and expenses incurred by the Target Group which are properly costs of the Target Group in connection with any matters required to separate the Target Group from the Retained Group (and/or any related migration of services as provided for in each Transitional Services Agreement) shall be borne by the Target Group. Both

45

parties shall use reasonable endeavours to minimise and mitigate the costs and expenses incurred in respect of those separation matters.

Intellectual Property Rights

23.28 The Parent shall procure that, on or prior to First Completion, the right, title and interest in and to each of the registered trade marks set out in Schedule 7 (the Transferring Registered IP) shall be assigned from the relevant member of the Retained Group to a First Completion Target Subsidiary.

23.29 The Parent shall not, and shall procure (in so far as it is able) that each other member of the WPP Group shall not, use the Transferring Registered IP, for any reason or purpose, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, except for the purpose of ensuring that such Transferring Registered IP is corrected registered in the name of a Target Group member.

Acquisitions of Target Group members

23.30 In respect of any acquisition of any member of the Target Group where the relevant acquisition agreements were entered into by a member of the Retained Group (the Acquisition Agreements), the Parent shall procure that:

(a) the Retained Group does not terminate, waive, amend, settle or compromise any rights or claims (including in respect of any warranties, representations, indemnities, restrictive covenants or otherwise) under the Acquisition Agreements without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and

(b) the Retained Group takes (at the cost of the Target Group) all reasonable action as the Purchaser requests to enforce such rights and claims and accounts to the Target Group for the benefit thereof (net of any Tax payable by the Retained Group on any amounts recovered).

Cash Pooling Arrangements

23.31 With effect from First Completion or Deferred Completion (as applicable), the relevant Target Group members shall cease to participate in the Cash Pooling Arrangements and:

(a) the Parent shall procure that all amounts standing to the credit of the relevant Target Group members pursuant to the Cash Pooling Arrangements shall be paid to them; and

(b) the Purchaser shall procure that all amounts standing to the debit of the relevant Target Group members pursuant to the Cash Pooling Arrangements shall be paid by them.

Insurance

23.32 The Parent shall procure that, following First Completion or (if applicable) Deferred Completion, the members of the Target Group shall continue to have the benefit of any insurance policies of the WPP Group which are on a: (a) “claims occurring” basis in respect of all claims arising prior thereto (whether or not notified to the relevant insurers); and (b) “claims made” basis but only in respect of claims notified to the relevant insurers as at First Completion or (if applicable) Deferred Completion.

23.33 Subject to clause 23.32, the Target Group shall be required to put in place its own insurances with effect from First Completion or (if applicable) Deferred Completion.

Kantar Reorganisation

46

23.34 The Parent shall keep the Purchaser reasonably informed of the status of the Kantar Reorganisation but, for the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser’s approval for any documents relating to the Kantar Reorganisation will not be required.

Directors

23.35 To the extent that, after First Completion and each relevant Deferred Completion, any WPP personnel remain as directors or officers of any relevant member of the Target Group, the Purchaser shall procure that the relevant members of the Target Group will provide all reasonable assistance and information required by the Parent or any member of the Retained Group to enable those personnel to cease to hold such offices as soon as practicable after the relevant completion.

Novated IT Contracts

23.36 In respect of each Novated IT Contract, with effect on and from First Completion the Parent shall procure that the member of the Retained Group that is a party to that Novated IT Contract enters into, UK Bidco shall procure that a member of the Target Group enters into, and both the Parent and UK Bidco shall co-operate to procure, in so far as each of them is able, that the third party to such Novated IT Contract enters into, a novation agreement under which that member of the Target Group assumes all liabilities and obligations, obtains the benefit of all rights, and fully releases all members of the Retained Group from all liabilities and obligations, of such member(s) of the Retained Group under that Novated IT Contract (in each case whether arising or due for performance before, on or after First Completion).

23.37 With effect on and from First Completion, UK Bidco shall perform the obligations of the relevant member of the Retained Group under each Novated IT Contract and shall indemnify the Parent (for itself and on behalf of each member of the Retained Group) from and against all liabilities that are, or that arise out of any failure to perform any obligations that are, in accordance with Clause 23.36 above, to be assumed by a member of the Target Group.

23.38 Pending completion of the novation referred to in 23.36 above, with effect on and from First Completion the Parent shall procure that the members of the Retained Group (in each case to the extent permitted by such Novated IT Contract): (a) hold the benefit of (including all of their rights under) the Novated IT Contracts on trust for the benefit of UK Bidco; (b) promptly account to UK Bidco for all benefits members of the Retained Group receive or benefit from under the Novated IT Contracts (if any); and (c) exercise their rights under the Novated IT Contracts as directed by UK Bidco (acting reasonably).

Assistance with information

23.39 The Purchaser shall procure that relevant members of the Target Group shall provide all information which is within their possession or control and which is reasonably requested by members of the Retained Group from time to time in relation to the historic trading and/or financial position of companies within the Retained Group which historically were part of the Kantar business but which have been retained within the Retained Group as they are dormant and in dissolution or identified by the Parent for future dissolution.

28. PAYMENTS

28.1 Subject to clause 4.6 and unless otherwise expressly stated (or as otherwise agreed in the case of a given payment), each payment to be made to the Parent or the Purchaser under this agreement or the Tax Deed shall be made in US Dollars by transfer of the relevant amount into the relevant account on the date (and, if applicable, at or before the time) the payment is due for value on that date and in immediately available funds. The relevant account for a given payment is:

(a) if that payment is to the Parent, the account of the Parent at:

bank:		CITIBANK
account name:		WPP PLC
account number:		00000000
SWIFT:		CITIGB2L
IBAN number:		XX00XXXX00000000000000
account currency:		USD,

or such other account as the Parent shall, not less than three Business Days before the date that payment is due, have specified by giving notice to the Purchaser for the purpose of that payment; and

28.2 If a party defaults in making any payment when due of any sum payable under this agreement or under the Tax Deed, it shall pay interest on that sum from (and including) the date on which payment is due until (but excluding) the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at an annual rate of 3 per cent. above SOFR, which interest shall accrue from day to day and be compounded monthly.

28.3 All sums payable under this agreement shall be paid free and clear of any deductions or withholdings, except those required by law. Subject to clause 28.4 and except in relation to any payment of interest, if a party is required by law to make a deduction or withholding in respect of any sum payable under this agreement, the party making that payment (referred to in this clause 28.3 as the Payer) shall, at the same time as the sum which is the subject of the deduction or withholding is payable, make a payment to the party entitled to that sum (referred to in this clause 28.3 as the Payee) of such additional amount as shall be required to ensure that the net amount received by the Payee will equal the full amount which would have been received by it had no such deduction or withholding been required to be made. If the Payer makes an increased payment under this clause 28.3 and the Payee obtains and utilises a Relief in respect of the deduction or

53

withholding that gave rise to such increased payment, then the Payee shall reimburse the Payer with such sum as the Payee, acting reasonably, certifies to the Payer will leave the Payee (after such reimbursement) in no better and no worse position than it would have been in had that deduction or withholding not been required.

If any information is provided by any person (the Provider) to any other person (the Recipient) pursuant to this paragraph 8:

(a) that information shall only be used by the Recipient in connection with the Third Party Claim and clause 25 of this agreement shall in all other respects apply to that information; and

11. Insurance

Without prejudice to paragraph 9 above, if in respect of any matter which would otherwise give rise to a Warranty Claim, any member of the Target Group actually recovers (and the Purchaser shall cause the relevant member(s) of the Target Group to use all reasonable endeavours to recover) under any policy of insurance which is actually in place at the relevant time in respect of that member of the Target Group, the amount of insurance monies which that Target Company so recovers (net of all fees, costs, expenses and Tax incurred in connection therewith) shall reduce pro tanto or extinguish that Warranty Claim.

13. Contingent liabilities

If any Claim is based upon a liability which is contingent only, the Parent shall have no obligation to make a payment in respect thereof unless (and until) such contingent liability gives rise to an obligation to make a payment before:
