unless and to the extent that any losses, liabilities, charges, costs, claims, demands or expenses are due to the wilful default or negligence of that Indemnified Person or material breach by it of its obligations under this agreement or its duties or obligations under FSMA or under the regulatory system (as defined in the FSA Handbook) or the AIM Rules, to the extent that such matters are determined in accordance with clause 12.7.

12.6

Xxxxxxxxx shall notify the Company as soon as practicable after it becomes aware of any claim against any Indemnified Person under this clause 12 (provided that failure by Xxxxxxxxx to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from the obligation to indemnify except to the extent that that Company suffers actual prejudice as a result of such failure).

12.7

For the purposes of clauses 12.1 and 12.3, such matters shall be determined as provided in the judgement of a court or competent jurisdiction or of the Financial Services and Markets Tribunal from which there is no appeal or in respect of which any applicable time limit for lodging an appeal has expired and no appeal has been lodged or as agreed in writing between the Company and Xxxxxxxxx.

12.8

If the Company becomes aware of any claim made or threatened within the scope of the indemnity set out in this clause 12 or any matter which may give rise to a claim, the Company shall notify Xxxxxxxxx and shall provide the Indemnified Persons with such information and copies of such documents relating to the claim as they may reasonably request.

12.9

Subject to clause 12.12, the relevant Indemnified Person may take such action as it reasonably sees fit to avoid, dispute, resist, appeal, defend, settle or compromise any such claim and shall (to the extent it has the power to do so) provide the Company with such information and documentation relating to such claim as the Company may reasonably require (unless such information and documentation is, or in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Person’s advisers is likely to be privileged in the context of the claim, or to the extent that it is subject to a bona fide duty of confidentiality); maintain consultation with the Company on all material aspects of the actual or potential claim; give the Company the reasonable opportunity to attend any conference with solicitors, counsel or other advisers in relation to any claim; provide the Company with such information and copies of such documents relating to the claim as the Company may reasonably request and provide the Company with details of any proposed settlement and in settling the claim will have due regard to the Company’s reasonable requests.

12.11

In the event that the Company has made a payment to Xxxxxxxxx or an Indemnified Person under clause 12.3 and an Indemnified Person subsequently is or becomes entitled to a benefit (being either a reduction in Taxation due and payable or any increased repayment of Taxation) or to recover from some other person (including, inter alia, the United Kingdom HM Revenue & Customs or any other taxing authority) any amount, in either case in respect of a Taxation liability which has resulted in the payment of an additional amount under clause 12.10, the relevant Indemnified Person shall take all reasonable steps (subject to being indemnified for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by it in so doing) to enforce that recovery and shall promptly pay to the person who has made the additional payment under clause 12.10 an amount equal to so much of the benefit received or sum recovered (less an amount equal to the costs and expenses incurred by the relevant Indemnified Person in enforcing such recovery) as does not exceed the amount paid by the person making the additional payment under clause 12.10.

12.12

If any sums have been paid to an Indemnified Person under the warranties in clause 11 or the indemnity in clause 12.3 (a “Claim Amount”) and the relevant Indemnified Person subsequently receives or recovers from a third party a sum which is referable to such Claim Amount, the relevant Indemnified Person shall as soon as reasonably practicable repay the amount so received or recovered up to the amount of the Claim Amount.

12.13

Each of the Company and Xxxxxxxxx (on its own behalf and on behalf of all Indemnified Persons) agrees that it (and, in the case of Xxxxxxxxx, the Indemnified Persons) will not, without the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of (i) the Company (in the case of all Indemnified Persons) and (ii) Xxxxxxxxx (in the case of the Company) settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgement with respect to any pending or threatened claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought under this clause 12 (whether or not Xxxxxxxxx is an actual or potential party to such claim).

The Accounts give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the Group as at 31 January 2007 and of the profit and loss and cash flow of the Group for the financial period then ended and have been prepared in accordance with UK generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. Save as disclosed in the Accounts and the Company's published annual reports and accounts for the financial years ended 31 January 2005 and 31 January 2006, there is not outstanding and there has not at any time during the last two years been outstanding any contract or arrangement to which any member of the Group is a party and in which any of the Directors is or has been interested, whether directly or indirectly, and no member of the Group is a party to nor have its profits or financial position during such period been affected by any contract or arrangement which is not of an entirely arm's length nature.

7.	VCT QUALIFYING STATUS

7.1	Informal clearance has been received from HMRC that the First Admission Shares will constitute a qualifying holding as defined in Chapter 4 of Part 6 ITA 2007 (previously Schedule 28B ICTA 1988) on the assumptions that:

7.1.1

the provisions of paragraph 16 Schedule 16 Finance Xxxx 2007 are enacted as originally drafted (definition of qualifying 90% subsidiary); and

7.1.2

that the investment represents "protected money" as defined by paragraph 2(4) Schedule 14 Finance Act 2006 (money raised by the issue before 6 April 2006 of shares in or securities of the VCT).

7.2

Informal clearance has also been received from HMRC that the anticipated reorganisation (as referred to in the Presentation) will be within the provisions of paragraph 6 of the Venture Capital Trust Exchange of Securities Regulations (2002)(SI 2002/2661) (the “Regulations") with the effect that the provisions of paragraph 9 of the Regulations will apply to the new shares to be issued to the VCT investors. As a result, in particular, the shares issued to the VCT investors will be treated as meeting the requirements of a qualifying holding as defined in Chapter 4 of Part 6 ITA 2007 (previously Schedule 28B ICTA 1988) for a period of 3 years after the issue of the new shares but will thereafter cease to satisfy those requirements.

8.	CONTRACTS
