	10.2.1		If the Board determines that the Company requires additional finance, it shall arrange a facility with a bank which the Shareholders consider suitable on the best terms reasonably available in the open market (the “Bank Facility”).

	11.1.2		sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option over, any of its Shares or any interest in its Shares (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any such transfer shall be treated as a Material Breach of this Agreement even if such transfer is outside of the control of the relevant Shareholder); or

	11.1.3		enter into any agreement in respect of the votes attached to any of its Shares.

11.2

Transfers to Associated Companies

	11.2.1		Any Shareholder may transfer all or some of its Shares (or any interest in its Shares) to an Associated Company on giving prior written notice to the other Shareholder.

	11.2.2		Following a transfer of Shares to an Associated Company, the original transferring Shareholder (but not a subsequent transferor in a series of transfers to Associated Companies) shall remain party to this Agreement and shall be jointly and severally liable with the transferee under this Agreement as a Shareholder in respect of the transferred Shares. Any transferee Shareholder will be required to sign a Deed of Adherence.

	11.2.3		Where not all of the Shares held by the original transferring Shareholder (but not a subsequent transferor in a series of transfers) are transferred:

(i)

the transferring Shareholder must be granted the exclusive right to exercise votes in respect of each Share transferred on behalf of the transferee;

	(ii)		this Agreement and the Articles shall apply as if the transferring Shareholder and the transferee are one Shareholder;

	(iii)		all the rights of the transferee under this Agreement and the Articles shall be exercised exclusively by the transferring Shareholder;

	(iv)		any notice given by the transferring Shareholder under the Agreement or the Articles shall be deemed also to be given by the transferee; and

	(v)		any notice required to be given to the transferee shall be given also to the transferring Shareholder.

11.3		Transfers to third parties

		Shares must not be transferred to any third party other than an Associated Company before the third anniversary of the Effective Date.

11.3.1

From the date that is three years after the Effective Date, a Shareholder wishing to sell its Shares (the “Selling Shareholder”) to a third party may only do so if it first serves a written notice (the “Sale Notice”) on the other Shareholder (the “Non-Selling Shareholder”) offering to sell its Shares to the Non-Selling Shareholder (the “Sale Offer”). The Sale Offer shall:

	(i)		relate to all of the Selling Shareholder’s Shares;

	(ii)		specify the consideration for which the Shares are offered to the Non-Selling Shareholder (the “Sale Consideration”);

	(iii)		list all other material terms and conditions upon which the Selling Shareholder is prepared to transfer the Shares to the Non-Selling Shareholder (the “Sale Terms”); and

	(iv)		be open for acceptance for a period of 90 days following service of the Sale Notice (the “90 Day Offer Period”).

	11.3.2		If at any time before the expiry of the 90 Day Offer Period the Non-Selling Shareholder accepts the Sale Offer, the Shareholders shall conclude an agreement to effect the transfer of the Selling Shareholder’s Shares based on the Sale Consideration and the Sale Terms within 30 Business Days of the expiry of the 90 Day Offer Period.

	11.3.3		If:

	(i)		the Non-Selling Shareholder does not accept the Sale Offer, or does not respond to the Sale Offer by the expiry of the 90 Day Offer Period; or

	(ii)		the Shareholders fail to conclude an agreement in accordance with Clause 11.3.2 by the time limit set out therein,

			then Clause 11.3.4 shall apply.

	11.3.4		After the expiry of the 90 Day Offer Period and only in the circumstances set out in Clause 11.3.3, the Selling Shareholder may offer all, but not some only, of its Shares to a third party on the following terms (the “Third Party Offer”):

(i)

within 90 days of the date on which the event specified in Clause 11.3.3 occurred which triggered the right to make the Third Party Offer, the Selling

			Shareholder must have executed a binding agreement with a third party which has its own financial resources to meet its obligations under the Third Party Offer or has an unconditional and legally binding commitment from a lender(s) for that finance;

	(ii)		the Third Party Offer must be governed by English law;

	(iii)		the Third Party Offer must contain all material terms and conditions which must be comparable to the Sale Terms (including the intended completion date of the Third Party Offer); and

	(iv)		the Third Party Offer must be made at or above the amount of the Sale Consideration and be payable in cash in immediately available funds.

			If the Selling Shareholder fails to reach agreement with a third party on the basis set out in the Third Party Offer on the terms set out in this Clause 11.3.4 within the time specified in Clause 11.3.4(i), then the Selling Shareholder may only transfer its Shares after such date by once more complying with Clause 11.3.1.

	11.3.5		Upon reaching agreement with a third party on the basis set out in the Third Party Offer in accordance with Clause 11.3.4, the Selling Shareholder must give written notice to the Non-Selling Shareholder of the proposed transfer and the identity of the third party.

	11.3.6		Following a transfer of Shares to a third party in accordance with Clause 11.3.5:

	(i)		the Selling Shareholder shall procure that the transferee third party signs a Deed of Adherence; and

	(ii)		the rights and obligations of the relevant parties under the Parental Services Agreement shall continue for a reasonable transitional period in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Parental Services Agreement.

11.4

Sale to a Shareholder

11.4.1

From the date that is seven years after the Effective Date, in addition to the mechanism set out in Clause 11.3, a Shareholder wishing to purchase the Shares (the “Initiator”) held by the other Shareholder (the “Responder”) may serve a notice (the “Purchase Notice”) on the Responder offering to buy all of the Responder’s Shares. The Purchase Notice shall:

	(i)		relate to all of the Responder’s Shares;

	(ii)		specify the consideration in cash or otherwise for which the Initiator is prepared to buy the Responder’s Shares (the “Purchase Consideration”);

	(iii)		list all other material terms and conditions upon which the Initiator is prepared to purchase the Responder’s Shares (the “Purchase Terms”);

	(iv)		constitute an offer by the Initiator to purchase all of the Responder’s Shares at the Purchase Consideration; and

	(v)		be open for acceptance for a period of 90 days following service of the Purchase Notice (the “90 Day Offer Period”).

11.4.2

At any time before the expiry of the 90 Day Offer Period the Responder may either accept the offer in the Purchase Notice or give written notice (a “Counter Notice”) to the Initiator offering to purchase all of the Initiator’s Shares. The Counter Notice shall:

	(i)		specify the consideration for which the Responder is prepared to buy the Initiator’s Shares, which shall be not less than five per cent. above the last offered Purchase Consideration;

	(ii)		be subject only to the Purchase Terms;

	(iii)		constitute an offer by the Responder to purchase all of the Initiator’s Shares in accordance with sub-Clauses (i) and (ii) above; and

	(iv)		be open for acceptance for a period of 45 days following service of the Counter Notice (“45 Day Offer Period”).

	11.4.3		At any time before the expiry of the 45 Day Offer Period under Clause 11.4.2 the Shareholder in receipt of the Counter Notice may give written notice to the offering Shareholder that it shall accept the offer in the Counter Notice (the “Purchase Acceptance”). Upon service of a Purchase Acceptance, the Shareholder in receipt of the Counter Notice must sell (upon payment of the last offered Purchase Consideration), and the offering Shareholder must buy, the Shares in accordance with the offer in the Counter Notice.

	11.4.4		Alternatively, at any time before the expiry of the 45 Day Offer Period the Shareholder in receipt of the Counter Notice may submit a revised Counter Notice in compliance with Clause 11.4.2(i) to (iv) to the other Shareholder.

	11.4.5		The procedure in Clauses 11.4.2 to 11.4.4 shall be repeated until: (i) a Shareholder serves a Purchase Acceptance, or (ii) a 45 Day Offer Period expires without a Shareholder having either served a Purchase Acceptance or a Counter Notice, in which case the offer in the last served Purchase Notice or Counter Notice shall be deemed to have been accepted.

11.5

Service of notices

	11.5.1		For the avoidance of doubt, if a Sale Notice and Purchase Notice are delivered in accordance with Clauses 11.3 and 11.4 respectively at or around the same date, the first notice to be properly delivered shall prevail and the procedure commenced by such notice shall be followed in accordance with Clause 11.3 or 11.4 as the case may be.

	11.5.2		The Shareholders shall, so far as is reasonably practicable, keep the Company informed, at all times, of the issue and content of any notice served pursuant to this Clause 11 and any election or acceptance relating to those notices.

12		Default

12.1		Events of Default

		A Shareholder (the “Defaulting Shareholder”) suffers an Event of Default where:

	12.1.1		it or any member of its group commits a Material Breach of this Agreement and either (i) the breach is not capable of being remedied or (ii) the Defaulting Shareholder does not remedy that breach within 20 Business Days of the other Shareholder sending it written notice requiring it to remedy that breach; or

	12.1.2		it, or any Parent Company of it, is unable or admits inability to pay its debts as they fall due, suspends making payments on any of its debts or, by reason of actual or anticipated financial difficulties, commences negotiations with one or more of its creditors with a view to rescheduling any of its indebtedness;

	12.1.3		a moratorium is declared in respect of any of its, or any Parent Company’s, indebtedness; or

	12.1.4		any corporate action, legal proceedings or other procedure or step is taken (or any analogous procedure or step is taken in any jurisdiction) in relation to:

	(i)		the suspension of payments, a moratorium of any indebtedness, winding-up, dissolution, administration or reorganisation (by way of voluntary arrangement, scheme of arrangement or otherwise) other than a solvent liquidation or reorganisation of any of its Associated Companies or a solvent reorganisation of the Shareholder;

	(ii)		the appointment of a liquidator (other than in respect of a solvent liquidation of any of its Associated Companies), receiver, administrator, administrative receiver, compulsory manager or other similar officer in respect of any of its assets; or

	(iii)		enforcement of any security over any of its assets.

12.2		For the avoidance of doubt a technical default under any banking facility in respect of which the lender or lenders thereunder do not take measures to enforce security against or accelerate repayment by any Shareholder or any member of its group shall not constitute an Event of Default.

12.3		Notice of Default

		If an Event of Default occurs, the Defaulting Shareholder shall notify the other Shareholder in writing as soon as reasonably practicable. This notification should specify, in reasonable detail, the circumstances surrounding the Event of Default.

12.4		Default Notice

		Following an Event of Default, the non-defaulting Shareholder may give written notice (a “Default Notice”) to the Defaulting Shareholder within 30 Business Days of receiving notification of the Event of Default from the Defaulting Shareholder or of its becoming aware of the Event of Default, whichever is the earlier requiring the Defaulting Shareholder either:

	12.4.1		to sell all of the Shares held by the Defaulting Shareholder (the “Sale Shares”) to the non-defaulting Shareholder at a price per Share equal to the Fair Value of the Sale Shares: or

	12.4.2		to purchase all of the Shares held by the non-defaulting Shareholder (also “Sale Shares”) at a price equal to the Fair Value of the Sale Shares.

12.5		Completion of transfer

		The sale and purchase of the Sale Shares in accordance with this Clause shall be made on the following terms:

	12.5.1		if any of the Permitted Conditions in relation to the sale and purchase of any Sale Shares is not satisfied or waived 60 Business Days or, where a regulatory approval is required, 150 Business Days, after service of that Default Notice then that Default Notice shall lapse. Otherwise, completion of the transfer of the Sale Shares shall be completed seven Business Days after written notice of the determination of the Fair Value of the Sale Shares or the date of satisfaction or waiver of all Permitted Conditions (whichever is the later) (the “Transfer Date”) at such reasonable time and place that the shareholders agree or, failing which, at the registered office of the Company;

	12.5.2		the selling Shareholder shall deliver to the buyer in respect of the Sale Shares on or before the Transfer Date:

	(i)		duly executed share transfer forms; and

	(ii)		the relevant share certificates; and

	(iii)		a power of attorney in such form and in favour of such person as the buyer may nominate to enable the buyer to exercise all rights of ownership in respect of the Sale Shares including, without limitation, the voting rights; and;

	12.5.3		the buyer shall pay the consideration for the Sale Shares to the selling Shareholder by telegraphic transfer to the bank account of the selling Shareholder notified to it for the purpose on the Transfer Date; and

	12.5.4		the provisions of Clause 14 shall apply to the transfer.

12.6

Failure to transfer

	12.6.1		If the Defaulting Shareholder does not comply with its obligations in this Clause, the Company may authorise a person to execute and deliver the necessary transfer on its behalf. The Company may receive the purchase money in trust for the selling Shareholder and cause the buyer to be registered as the holder of the Shares. The receipt by the Company of the purchase money shall be a good discharge to the buyer (who shall not be bound to see to the application of those moneys). After the buyer has been registered as holder of the Sale Shares in purported exercise of these powers the validity of the proceedings shall not be questioned by any person.

	12.6.2		If the selling Shareholder fails or refuses to transfer any Shares in accordance with this Clause the buyer may serve a default notice. Within five Business Days of service of a default notice (unless such non-compliance has previously been remedied to the reasonable satisfaction of the buyer), the defaulting seller shall not exercise any of its powers or rights in relation to management of, and participation in the profits of, the Company under this Agreement, the Articles or otherwise. The Directors appointed by the defaulting seller (or its predecessor in title) shall not:

(i)

be entitled to vote at any Board meeting;

	(ii)		be required to attend any meeting of Directors in order to constitute a quorum; or

	(iii)		be entitled to receive or request any information from the Company.

12.7

General

	12.7.2		The Shareholders waive their pre-emption rights on the transfer of Shares contained in this Agreement and the Articles to the extent necessary to give effect to this Clause.

	12.7.3		The Shareholders shall do all reasonable things within their power to ensure that the Business is continued to be run as a going concern during the period between the service of the Default Notice and the completion of the transfer of the Sale Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Clause 12.7.3 shall oblige either Shareholder to contribute additional capital or debt financing to the Company.

13		Determination of Fair Value

13.1		Appointment of expert

		The “Fair Value” of the Shares for the purposes of this Agreement shall be determined by an independent investment bank appointed by the Shareholders within 30 Business Days of the date of the Default Notice. If the Shareholders do not agree on an independent investment bank within such period, any Shareholder may request the President of the London Investment Bankers Association to make the appointment.

13.2		Method and adjustments

13.2.1

The independent investment bank shall determine the Fair Value of the Shares to be sold as at the date of the relevant Default Notice and on the following assumptions and bases:

	(i)		valuing the Shares to be sold as on an arm’s length sale between a willing seller and a willing buyer;

	(ii)		if any Group Company is then carrying on business as a going concern, on the assumption that it will continue to do so;

	(iii)		that the Shares to be sold are capable of being transferred without restriction;

	(iv)		valuing the Shares to be sold as a rateable proportion of the total value of all the issued shares of the Company without any premium or discount being attributable to the class of the Shares to be sold or the percentage of the issued share capital of the Company which they represent.

13.2.2

The independent investment bank shall determine the Fair Value to reflect any other factors including for the avoidance of doubt taxation in respect of a Group Company which the independent investment bank reasonably believes should be taken into account.

13.2.3

If any difficulty arises in applying any of these assumptions or bases then the independent investment bank shall resolve that difficulty in such manner as it shall in its absolute discretion think fit.

13.3

Determination

	13.3.1		The independent investment bank must determine the Fair Value within 30 Business Days of its appointment and shall notify the Shareholders of its determination. The fees of the independent investment bank shall be borne by the Shareholders equally.

	13.3.2		The independent investment bank shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator and its determination shall be final and binding on the parties (in the absence of fraud or manifest error).

	13.3.3		The independent investment bank may have access to all accounting records or other relevant documents of the Company, subject to any confidentiality provisions.

14		Terms and consequences of transfers of Shares

14.5		Loans, borrowings, guarantees and indemnities

14.5.1

Upon a transfer of all the Shares held by a Shareholder:

	(i)		the continuing Shareholder shall procure that all loans, borrowings and indebtedness in the nature of borrowings outstanding owed by the Company to a transferring Shareholder (together with any accrued interest) are either assigned to the continuing Shareholder for such value as may be agreed between the transferring Shareholder and the continuing Shareholder, or failing agreement with the continuing Shareholder, are repaid by the Company;

	(ii)		all loans, borrowings and indebtedness in the nature of borrowings outstanding owed by that transferring Shareholder to the Company shall be repaid; and

	(iii)		the continuing Shareholder shall use all reasonable endeavours (but without involving any financial obligation on its part) to procure the release of any guarantees, indemnities, security or other comfort given by the transferring Shareholder to or in respect of the Company or its Business and, pending such release, shall indemnify the transferring Shareholder in respect of them.

14.5.2

Any assumption of the obligations of a transferring Shareholder by the continuing Shareholder is without prejudice to the right of the continuing Shareholder and/or the Company to claim from the transferring Shareholder in respect of liabilities arising prior to the completion date of the transfer of Shares.

14.7.2

Those resignations shall take effect without any liabilities on the Company for compensation for loss of office or otherwise except to the extent that the liability arises in relation to a service contract with a Director who was acting in an executive capacity.

14.8

	14.8.2		The purchase monies shall, to the extent that they are not delivered to the selling party on or before the appropriate completion date, bear interest against the purchasing party at the rate of 2 per cent over the base lending rate from time to time of LIBOR calculated on a daily basis from such date until the selling party is reimbursed by the other party.

14.9		Change of name

		If a Shareholder ceases to be a Shareholder and the corporate name of the Company or any Group Company consists of or contains any word the same or similar to the corporate name, or any distinctive part of the corporate name, of that Shareholder, the remaining parties shall procure that the corporate name of the Company or any Group Company shall be changed to exclude that word within 20 Business Days of the Shareholder ceasing to be a Shareholder.

If a Shareholder wishes to either (i) acquire Control of a company and/or group of companies and/or a business in the Territory (a “Shareholder Opportunity”) which is involved in activities not carried on by the Shareholder in question on the Effective Date but would be in competition with the Business, or (ii) engage in or become a party to any contract, business opportunity, transaction or other arrangement in the Territory that relates to activities not carried on by the Shareholder in question on the Effective Date but would be in competition with the Business, it must first serve a written notice on the Company offering the Shareholder Opportunity to the Company on the following terms (the “First Offer”):
