3.6.4 for the avoidance of doubt the Buyers shall have no obligations or duties whatsoever to any Seller in respect of any payment due between the relevant Sellers pursuant to any of Clauses 3.6.1, 3.6.2 or 3.6.3.

23

proportion of the interest or profit accrued to the Escrow Account shall be calculated on the date of payment (subject to any deductions as above).

4.6 If proceedings in respect of an Escrow Account Claim are commenced and notified to the Sellers in accordance with Clause 12 before the expiration of the Initial Escrow Period or the Escrow Period (as the case maybe) but such Escrow Account Claim is not Settled or otherwise Determined prior to the expiry of the Initial Escrow Period or the Escrow Period (as the case may be), then not later than 10 Business Days prior to the expiry of the Initial Escrow Period or the Escrow Period (as the case may be) the Buyers shall notify the Escrow Agent and the Sellers in writing of their reasonable estimate of the amount of such Escrow Account Claim on a without prejudice basis. Such estimate shall be accompanied by a written opinion of a Queen’s Counsel to the effect that in the light of the facts, matters and circumstances known to the Buyers and notified to the Queen’s Counsel, such Escrow Account Claim is not frivolous or vexatious and that the estimate is a reasonable one. On receipt by the Escrow Agent of such notice any release by the Escrow Agent from the Escrow Account pursuant to Clause 4.4 shall be subject to a deduction from the amount otherwise to be released of the amount so estimated.

4.7 The Escrow Agent shall retain the amount specified in Clause 4.6 in the Escrow Account until such Escrow Account Claim is Settled or otherwise Determined.

accordance with the procedure specified in this Clause 4.

or any member of the Buyers’ Group or any of their respective directors or employees or successors in title other than in accordance with this Agreement, the CTRL Agreement, the CTL (Malaysia) Agreement, the CTL Agreement or the CTSL Agreement or any agreement or document referred to herein or therein or other than pursuant to legally binding obligations of CTRL, CTL (Malaysia), the CTL Business or the CTSL Business (as the case may be) prior to Completion;

11.4.6 to the extent that such Claim arises, or has otherwise arisen and is increased, as a result of any reorganisation or change made in the ownership of the Buyers’ Group after Completion or any change in any accounting or Taxation policies or practice or accounting reference date of CTRL, CTL (Malaysia), or any member of the Buyer’s Group made after Completion;

11.4.7 in relation to CTRL or CTL (Malaysia), to the extent that it relates to any matter specifically provided for, or specifically included as a liability or specifically disclosed, in the CTRL Accounts, the CTL (Malaysia) Accounts and/or the Management Accounts.

11.5 If the Buyer or CTRL or CTL (Malaysia) or any member of the Buyers’ Group is entitled to recover from some other person any sum in respect of any matter or event which could give rise to a Claim, the Buyer(s) will (or will procure that CTRL or CTL (Malaysia) or a member of the Buyers’ Group will) take all reasonable steps to recover that sum before making such Claim, and any sum recovered will reduce the amount of such Claim after deduction of all reasonable costs and expenses of recovery save that if notice of such potential liability is provided to the relevant Sellers within the relevant time period referred to in Clause 11.3 the Claim will be deemed to have satisfied the provision in such Clause 11.3.

11.6 If the Sellers pay the Buyer(s) or CTRL or CTL (Malaysia) or any member of the Buyers’ Group a sum to settle or discharge a Claim and the Buyer(s) or CTRL or CTL (Malaysia) or any member of the Buyers’ Group subsequently recovers whether by payment, discount, credit, relief or otherwise from any third party (including any Tax Authority) a sum which is directly referable to the Claim then:

11.6.1 the relevant Buyer will (or will procure that CTRL or CTL (Malaysia) or the relevant member of the Buyers’ Group will) promptly pay to CTL as full repayment to the relevant Sellers the amount recovered from the third party less any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in recovering the same; or

11.6.2 if the figure resulting under Clause 11.6.1 above is greater than the amount paid by the relevant Sellers to settle or discharge the relevant Claim, then the relevant Buyer shall only be obliged to pay to the Sellers as full repayment to the Sellers such amount as is equivalent to the sum paid by the Sellers in settlement or discharge of that Claim.

11.6.3 CTL is authorised by each of the Sellers to receive any such payment made under this Clause 11.6 for and on behalf of any and all Sellers and payment by the relevant Buyer to CTL shall constitute a good and sufficient surcharge to the relevant Buyer under this Clause 11.6.

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

29

11.8 In relation to CTRL or CTL (Malaysia), if any potential Claim arises as a result of a contingent or unquantifiable liability of CTRL or CTL (Malaysia), the Sellers will not be obliged to pay any sum in respect of the potential Claim until the liability either ceases to be contingent or becomes quantifiable save that if notice of such contingent liability is provided to the relevant Sellers within the relevant time period referred to in Clause 11.3 the Claim will be deemed to have satisfied the provision of such Clause 11.3.

11.9 Nothing in this Clause 11 shall in any way restrict or limit the Buyers', CTRL’s, CTL (Malaysia)’s, or any member of the Buyer’s Group common law duty to mitigate its loss.

11.10 The Buyers confirm to the Sellers that they are not actually aware at the date of this Agreement, of any matter or thing which in their reasonable opinion will give rise to any Claim.

11.11 The limitations set out and referred to in Clauses 11.1 to 11.9 (inclusive) do not apply to a breach of Warranty:

(a) resulting from fraud, deliberate non-disclosure or wilful concealment; or

(b) in respect of a Warranty set out in paragraphs 1 of Schedules 4 and 6.

12 NOTICE OF AND CONDUCT OF CLAIMS

12.1 If following Completion the Buyer(s) becomes aware that any matter has arisen which will or is likely to give rise to a Claim (other than a Claim in respect of Tax in which case paragraph 4 (Conduct of Tax Assessments) of the CTRL Tax Deed or the CTL (Malaysia) Tax Deed shall apply as appropriate), the Buyer(s) will (or if the Claim relates to CTRL or CTL (Malaysia) will procure that CTRL or CTL (Malaysia) as the case may be will):

(a) as soon as reasonably practicable notify the relevant Sellers in writing of the potential Claim and of the matters which will or are likely to give rise to such Claim;

30

interview the personnel; and

(ii) any relevant premises, chattels, accounts, documents and records within the power, possession or control of the Buyer(s) and/or CTRL and/or CTL (Malaysia).

13 GUARANTEE

13.1 Each of Jaffar and Bashar irrevocably and unconditionally jointly and severally:

(a) guarantee to the Buyers the punctual performance by each of the Sellers of their respective obligations under this Deed of Warranty, the CTL Agreement, the CTL (Malaysia) Agreement, the CTRL Agreement, the CTSL Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the CTRL Taxation Deed, the CTL (Malaysia) Taxation Deed, the Buy-out Agreements, Termination Agreement, the IP Assignment and the Services Agreement;

(b) undertakes with the Buyer(s) that whenever any Seller or the relevant Affiliate of the relevant Seller which is a party to any such agreement does not pay any amount when due under any agreement referred to in 13.1(a), he shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if he was the principal obligor; and

(c) indemnifies the Buyers immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability suffered by the Buyers if any obligation guaranteed by him is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal.

13.2 This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extent to the ultimate balance of sums payable by any Seller under this Deed of Warranty, the CTL Agreement, the CTL (Malaysia) Agreement, the CTRL Agreement, the CTSL Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

13.3 If any payment by a Seller or any discharge given by any Buyer (whether in respect of the obligations of any Seller or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is avoided or reduced as a result of insolvency or any similar event:

(a) the liability of each Seller shall continue as if the payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction has not occurred; and

(b) the relevant Buyer shall be entitled to recover the value or amount of that security or payment from each Seller, as if the payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction had not occurred.

13.4 The obligations of each of Jaffar and Bashar under this Clause 13 will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 13 (without limitation and whether or not known to any Buyer) including:

(a) any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Seller or other person;

(b) the release of any other Seller or any other person under the terms of any

31

composition or arrangement with any creditor of any Seller;

(c) the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, any Seller or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security;

(d) any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of any Seller or any other person;

13.5 Each of Jaffar and Bashar waives any right he may have of first requiring any Buyer (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from him under this Clause 13. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of this Deed of Warranty, the CTRL Agreement, the CTL (Malaysia) Agreement, the CTL Agreement, the CTSL Agreement or the Escrow Agreement to the contrary save that the Buyers acknowledge and agree that if the Buyers are satisfied that the relevant Seller in the case of the CTL Agreement, the CTL (Malaysia) Agreement and the CTSL Agreement has sufficient funds to settle the relevant claim, the Buyers shall proceed against and enforce its rights first against the relevant Seller prior to bringing a claim under this Clause 13 against Jaffar and Bashar.

13.6 Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Sellers under or in connection with this Deed of Warranty, the CTRL Agreement, the CTL (Malaysia) Agreement, the CTL Agreement, the CTSL Agreement or the Escrow Agreement have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the Buyers otherwise direct, neither Jaffar nor Bashar will exercise any rights which they may have by reason of performance by it of his obligations under this Deed of Warranty, the CTRL Agreement, the CTL (Malaysia) Agreement, the CTL Agreement, the CTSL Agreement and the Escrow Agreement:

(a) to be indemnified by a Seller, to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any Seller’s obligations under this Agreement; and/or

(b) to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of any Buyer under this Deed of Warranty, the CTRL Agreement, the CTL (Malaysia) Agreement, the CTL Agreement, the CTSL Agreement and the Escrow Agreement or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, this Agreement by any Buyer.
