Indemnification from the Sellers as well as the amount of said
Indemnification, if determinable (a "CLAIM FOR INDEMNIFICATION").

Sellers' Shareholders' Agent to the Purchaser within twenty (20)
Business Days of the receipt by the Shareholders' Agent of the
notification above, the Claim for Indemnification shall be
Page 15
considered due and shall give rise to interest accruing after the date
of receipt by the Shareholders' Agent of the Claim for Indemnification
by the Purchaser (the interest being payable at the same time as the
indemnity). The relevant interest rate shall be the LIBOR one month
rate as published at the date of receipt of such notification.

In the event of any legal or administrative action filed by a third
party against any Indemnified Party as well as of a Tax reassessment
conducted against the Company, which would give rise to a request by
the Purchaser to the Sellers and/or the Principals hereunder, the
Purchaser shall give written notice to the Shareholders' Agent as soon
as such action is known by the Purchaser in order to determine what
action the Sellers and/or the Principals intend to take in respect of
the conduct of the relevant legal action.
The Shareholders' Agent will inform the Purchaser in writing as to the
manner in which they intend to proceed with the claim. At their option,
the Sellers may (i) take full responsibility for the defence of the
claim and pay all costs of such defence on behalf of the Indemnified
Parties or (ii) participate in such defence together with the Purchaser
or the Company.
Should the Shareholders' Agent notify the Purchaser of the decision of
the Sellers and the Principals to participate in the defence of the
Company, the Purchaser undertakes to ensure that the points of view and
opinions expressed by the Shareholders' Agent are taken into
consideration, although they may be rejected in the best interests of
the Company.
In the event the Shareholders' Agent does not inform the Purchaser in
writing of the intentions of the Sellers and the Principals in respect
of the conduct of the legal action referred to above within 10 (ten)
Business Days of receipt of the notification referred to above, the
Sellers and the Principals shall be deemed to have decided not to take
part in the defence of the Company against the third party claim.
In all cases, the Company may not accept, agree on any compromise or
pay any claim of a third party without the approval of the
Shareholders' Agent, who may only refuse his consent if such agreement
or absence of payment is not reasonable. In addition, the Purchaser
shall provide the Sellers with all documents or other information which
should reasonably be provided by it in consideration of the procedure
in progress, without this causing difficulties for the operation of the
Company.
It is expressly agreed that the Purchaser shall be authorised to
commence any urgent action with a view to defending the Company'
interests without consulting the Shareholders' Agent , if the his
advice cannot be reasonably obtained considering the
Page 16
nature of the legal action to be conducted and/or the time-limits for
response set out by the third party.
G.20. LIMITATIONS OF THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE SELLERS
The amount of any Indemnification may be reduced by (i) the amount of
any indemnity which has been effectively paid by third parties in
respect of a loss, either to one of the Company or to the Purchaser
which is covered by an insurance company or other indemnity, by an
agreement such as a guarantee of assets or liabilities or by any third
party (including the Government or the State); and (ii) to the extent
of any tax saving benefiting the Company due to the tax deductibility
of the loss resulting from the indemnifiable Claim for Indemnification.
"State" means in this Agreement the Kingdom of Denmark. "Government"
means in this Agreement the government of the Kingdom of Denmark.
No Indemnification will be made if the cumulative amount of the Claims

amount is reached, the total amount of the Indemnification will be
payable.
