PARTIES:

(1) T-Mobile Holdings Limited of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ (company no. 03836708) (DT Holdings);

(2) Orange Telecommunications Group Limited of 3 More ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ (company no. 07168292) (Orange Holdings), (DT Holdings and Orange Holdings together being the Sellers);

(3) BT Group plc of ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ (company no. 04190816) (the Purchaser);

(4) Deutsche Telekom AG of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (Deutsche Telekom); and

(5) Orange S.A. of ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (Orange S.A.), (Deutsche Telekom and Orange S.A. together being the Seller Guarantors),

(each a party and together the parties).

Words and expressions used in this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with Schedule 10.

IT IS AGREED:

1. Sale and Purchase

1.1 DT Holdings shall sell the A Shares and Orange Holdings shall sell the B Shares and, in each case, the Purchaser shall purchase the Shares with effect from Closing with all rights then attaching to them including the right to receive all distributions and dividends declared, paid or made in respect of the Shares after Closing. The sale and purchase of the Shares shall be on the terms set out in this Agreement and made with Full Title Guarantee.

1.2 The Shares shall be sold free from all Third Party Rights and ownership and risk in them shall (except as otherwise set out in this Agreement) pass to the Purchaser with effect from Closing.

2. Price

2.1 The aggregate price for all the Shares (the Final Price) shall be the amount which results from taking £12,500,000,000 (twelve billion, five hundred million pounds sterling) (the Debt Free/Cash Free Price) and:

(a) subtracting the amount of the Debt;

(b) adding the amount of the Cash;

(c) adding the amount of the difference (being an absolute value) between the amount of the Working Capital and the amount of the Target Working

Page 3

Capital if that Working Capital is greater (which, where Target Working Capital is a negative number, means a less negative number, or a positive number) than the Target Working Capital (or subtracting the amount of such difference (being an absolute value) if that Working Capital is less (which, where Target Working Capital is a negative number, means a more negative number) than the Target Working Capital); and

(d) adding the amount of the Capex Adjustment (in accordance with the worked example set out in Exhibit 5) but for the avoidance of doubt, no adjustment shall be made if the difference between Capex and Target Capex is less than 1 per cent. of Target Capex (as set out in the worked example at Exhibit 5).

2.2 At least five Business Days prior to Closing, the Sellers shall deliver to the Purchaser a summary of the Estimated Debt, Estimated Cash, Estimated Working Capital and Estimated Capex each as at the Closing Date. The Estimated Debt, Estimated Cash, Estimated Working Capital and Estimated Capex shall be prepared in good faith, in reasonable consultation with the Purchaser, and in accordance with the accounting treatments set out in Schedule 9 and in the form contained in Part C of Exhibit 5 (the Estimated Closing Statement).

2.3 At Closing, the Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers an amount (the Initial Price) which is £12,500,000,000 (twelve billion, five hundred million pounds sterling):

(a) minus the aggregate of the amount of the Estimated Debt;

(b) plus the aggregate of the amount of the Estimated Cash;

(c) plus the amount of the difference between the amount of the Estimated Working Capital and the amount of the Target Working Capital if the Estimated Working Capital is greater (which, where Target Working Capital is a negative number, means a less negative number or a positive number) than the Target Working Capital (or minus the amount of such difference if that Estimated Working Capital is less (which, where Target Working Capital is a negative number, means a more negative number) than the Target Working Capital);

(d) plus the amount of the Capex Adjustment, but for the avoidance of doubt, no adjustment shall be made if the difference between Estimated Capex and Target Capex is less than 1 per cent. of Target Capex (as set out in the worked example at Exhibit 5) and for the purposes of this sub-clause (d) only, references in the definition of Capex Adjustment to “Capex” shall be replaced with “Estimated Capex”.

2.4 Payment for the Shares shall be satisfied partly in cash and partly by the issue of Purchaser Shares. In order to calculate the mix of Purchaser Shares and cash, the Sellers and the Purchaser have agreed a target price for each Purchaser Share of £4.115 (the Reference Price). The amount of DT Holdings Cash Consideration and the Orange Holdings Cash Consideration shall vary in accordance with the adjustments set out in this Clause 2.4, depending upon the BT Closing Share Price. The Initial Price shall be payable by:

Page 4

(a) subject to Clause 2.7, the issue of such number of Consideration Shares to DT Holdings as is equal to 12 per cent. of the total number of Purchaser Shares in issue immediately after the issue of all Consideration Shares (the DT Holdings Consideration Shares);

(b) the issue of such number of Consideration Shares to Orange Holdings as is equal to 4 per cent. of the total number of Purchaser Shares in issue immediately after the issue of all Consideration Shares (the Orange Holdings Consideration Shares);

(c) the payment of an amount equal to A in cash in pounds sterling to DT Holdings (the DT Holdings Cash Consideration); and

(d) the payment of an amount equal to B in cash in pounds sterling to Orange Holdings (the Orange Holdings Cash Consideration),

where, if the BT Closing Share Price is four per cent. higher than the Reference Price (being £4.2796) or more (the Cap Amount):

		A		=		Initial Price		–		(4.2796 x the number of DT Holdings Consideration Shares)
						2

		B		=		Initial Price		–		(4.2796 x the number of Orange Holdings Consideration Shares)
						2

if the BT Closing Share Price is four per cent. lower than the Reference Price (being £3.9504) or less (the Collar Amount):

		A		=		Initial Price		–		(3.9504 x the number of DT Holdings Consideration Shares)
						2

		B		=		Initial Price		–		(3.9504 x the number of Orange Holdings Consideration Shares)
						2

if the BT Closing Share Price is less than the Cap Amount but more than the Collar Amount (the Variable Range) then:

		A		=		Initial Price		–		(the BT Closing Share Price x the number of DT Holdings Consideration Shares)
						2

		B		=		Initial Price		–		(the BT Closing Share Price x the number of Orange Holdings Consideration Shares)
						2

and BT Closing Share Price means the volume weighted average trading price of a Purchaser Share on the London Stock Exchange as reported through Bloomberg and based on all trades in Purchaser Shares for the 15 trading days prior to (i) the Unconditional Date, or (ii) if Closing takes place according to the timing set out in Clause 5.1(b), the date falling 5 Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

2.5 Any payments by the Purchaser satisfied by the issue of Consideration Shares shall be made only in whole shares, and any fractional shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share.

2.6 The Final Price shall be calculated after Closing on the basis set out in Schedule 9. Any amount required to be paid by the Sellers to the Purchaser under the Financial Adjustments shall be paid 50 per cent. by DT Holdings and 50 per cent. by Orange

Page 5

Holdings. Any amount required to be paid by the Purchaser to the Sellers under the Financial Adjustments shall be paid 50 per cent. to DT Holdings and 50 per cent. to Orange Holdings. The Final Price shall be adopted for all Tax reporting purposes.

2.7 If the DT Holdings Cash Consideration is less than zero (the Cash Deficit), the Purchaser may, by notice in writing to DT Holdings, reduce the number of DT Holdings Consideration Shares that the Purchaser is required to issue to DT Holdings by such number as results in the DT Holdings Cash Consideration being equal to zero or a positive number (being as near as possible to zero). Any notice given pursuant to this Clause 2.7 shall be given not later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date and shall be in the form of Exhibit 8 and shall state the revised number of DT Holdings Consideration Shares.

2.8 Any payment made in satisfaction of a liability arising under a Seller Obligation or a Purchaser Obligation, other than a payment of interest, shall so far as possible be made by way of adjustment to the consideration for the sale by the relevant Seller of the Shares.

3. Conditions to Closing

3.1 Closing shall be conditional on the following Conditions having been fulfilled or waived in accordance with this Agreement:

(a) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the shareholders of the Purchaser approving the Proposed Transaction for the purposes of Chapter 10 of the Listing Rules and the passing of a resolution by the shareholders of the Purchaser authorising the directors of the Purchaser to allot the Consideration Shares (the Resolutions);

(b) the Consideration Shares having been allotted to the Sellers unconditionally subject only to their admission to the Official List and to trading as referred to in Clause 3.1(c);

(c) the UK Listing Authority having acknowledged that the application for the admission of the Consideration Shares to the Official List has been approved and will become effective and the London Stock Exchange having acknowledged that the Consideration Shares will be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange’s main market for listed securities with effect from Closing;

(d) either:

(i) confirmation having been received in writing by the Purchaser or the Sellers from the UK Competition and Markets Authority (the CMA) that:

(A) the CMA does not intend to refer the Proposed Transaction or any matters arising therefrom for a Phase 2 CMA Reference; or

(B) the CMA does not intend to refer the Proposed Transaction or any matters arising therefrom for a Phase 2 CMA

Page 6

Reference on the condition that undertakings in lieu are provided and the Purchaser agreeing to give such undertakings as the Purchaser (in its sole discretion, but in coordination and consultation with the Sellers) considers satisfactory; or

(ii) following a Phase 2 CMA Reference of the Proposed Transaction or any matters arising therefrom, confirmation having been received by the Purchaser from the CMA that:

(A) the Proposed Transaction has not resulted or may not be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in the UK for goods or services (SLC);

(B) the Proposed Transaction has resulted, or may be expected to result, in a SLC but no action should be taken by itself or others to remedy, mitigate or prevent such outcome; or

(C) the Proposed Transaction has resulted, or may be expected to result, in a SLC and that it will seek undertakings or make an order, and the Purchaser agreeing to give such undertakings or accept such order as, acting reasonably and in coordination and consultation with the Sellers, the Purchaser considers satisfactory (in consultation with the Sellers) provided that (a) the Purchaser shall not be obliged to give any undertakings sought or agree to any orders proposed by the CMA or otherwise take ancillary actions reasonably necessary to ensure clearance that (i) have a cumulative material adverse effect on the Purchaser and/or the Target Group; or (ii) would not be reasonable for the Purchaser and/or the Target Group from a financial or strategic perspective; and (b) in the event the Purchaser agrees any such undertakings or accepts any such orders and those undertakings or orders have a financial impact on the Purchaser and/or the Target Group (the Reasonable Remedies Impact Amount), the Initial Price will be reduced by a reasonable contribution to the Reasonable Remedies Impact Amount by the Sellers (the Remedies Contribution Amount);

(e) insofar as the Proposed Transaction lacks a “Community dimension” within the meaning of article 1 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (the European Union Merger Regulation), the competition authority of any relevant EU Member State in which notification is required requesting referral to the European Commission pursuant to article 22(1) of the European Union Merger Regulation to review all or part of the Proposed Transaction and such a request being accepted, and either:

Page 7

(i) the European Commission declaring the Proposed Transaction to be compatible with the common market pursuant to article 6(1)(b) (an EUMR Article 6.1(b) Decision), 8(1) or 8(2) (an EUMR Article 8(1) or 8(2) Decision) of the European Union Merger Regulation applied directly or pursuant to article 22(4) subparagraph 1 of the European Union Merger Regulation in respect of all parts of the Proposed Transaction which were the subject of such a request, either unconditionally or:

(A) in the case of an EUMR Article 6(1)(b) decision, on conditions satisfactory to the Purchaser (in its sole discretion, in coordination and consultation with the Sellers; or

(B) in the case of an EUMR Article 8(1) or 8(2) Decision, on conditions satisfactory to the Purchaser acting reasonably and in coordination and consultation with the Sellers provided that (a) the Purchaser shall not be obliged to give any remedies sought by the European Commission or otherwise take ancillary actions reasonably necessary to secure clearance that (i) have a cumulative material adverse effect on the Purchaser and/or the Target Group; or (ii) would not be reasonable for the Purchaser and/or the Target Group from a financial or strategic perspective; and (b) in the event the Purchaser agrees any such remedies and those remedies have a financial impact on the Purchaser and/or the Target Group (the Reasonable Remedies Impact Amount), the Initial Price will be reduced by a reasonable contribution to the Reasonable Remedies Impact Amount by the Sellers (the Remedies Contribution Amount); or

(ii) all parts of the Proposed Transaction which were the subject of the request having been deemed compatible with the common market pursuant to article 10(6) of the European Union Merger Regulation applied directly or pursuant to article 22(4) subparagraph 1 of the European Union Merger Regulation;

(f) no EE Material Adverse Change having occurred; and

(g) no BT Material Adverse Change having occurred.

3.2 The Purchaser can deduct from the Initial Price its estimate of the Remedies Contribution Amount (acting reasonably and in good faith). If Closing occurs and the Initial Price has been reduced by the Remedies Contribution Amount (being the Contribution Price Reduction), then if the Sellers consider (acting reasonably and in good faith) that the valuation of the Reasonable Remedies Impact Amount was too high and, accordingly, that the Remedies Contribution Amount was too great, then the Sellers may, within 10 Business Days of Closing, serve a written notice on the Purchaser requiring that such matters be agreed or determined pursuant to and in accordance with the Closing Statement process, in which case the mechanism and provisions of Schedule 9 to this Agreement shall be construed so as also to apply,

Page 8

mutatis mutandis, to the agreement or determination of the Reasonable Remedies Impact Amount and the Remedies Contribution Amount and if, pursuant to such mechanism and provisions, the Remedies Contribution Amount is agreed or determined to be less than the amount of the Contribution Price Reduction, then the Purchaser shall pay an amount equal to such shortfall to the Sellers, and the provisions of paragraphs 6 and 7 of Part C of Schedule 9 shall apply to such payment.

3.3 The Purchaser shall, at its own cost, use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that each of the Conditions set out in Clauses 3.1(a) to 3.1(c) are fulfilled as soon as is reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement and in the case of the Condition set out in Clause 3.1(a), by no later than 5 May 2015 (or such later date as the Sellers and the Purchaser may agree in writing).

3.4 The Purchaser shall, at its own cost, use all reasonable endeavours (save to the extent set out in Clauses 3.1(d)(i)(B), 3.1(d)(ii)(C) and 3.1(e)(i)) to ensure that each of the Conditions set out in Clause 3.1(d) and (e) are fulfilled as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement.

3.5 The Purchaser shall have primary responsibility for obtaining all consents, approvals or actions of any Governmental Entity which are required in order to satisfy the Conditions in Clauses 3.1(a) to (c) and shall take all steps necessary for that purpose including making appropriate applications, submissions, notifications and filings, which shall include:

(a) seeking approval by the UK Listing Authority of a circular (the Circular) to be issued to the Purchaser’s shareholders to convene a general meeting of the Purchaser to approve the Proposed Transaction (the General Meeting) in accordance with the Listing Rules;

(b) seeking approval by the UK Listing Authority of the Prospectus to be published in connection with the Consideration Shares;

(c) making an application to the UK Listing Authority for the Consideration Shares to be admitted to the Official List; and

(d) making an application to the London Stock Exchange for the Consideration Shares to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange’s market for listed securities.

3.6 For the purpose of obtaining all necessary clearances which are required in order to satisfy the Conditions in Clause 3.1(d) and (e) the Purchaser shall have primary responsibility for making all necessary and any other appropriate applications, submissions, notifications and filings, which shall include the Purchaser filing a merger notice to the CMA pursuant to section 96 of the Enterprise ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, but the Purchaser shall coordinate and consult (the Consultation Obligation) with the Sellers in Phase 1 and Phase 2, in accordance with Clauses 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11 and also as follows:

(a) actively engage with the Sellers with a view to achieving alignment as far as is reasonable on the proposed filing strategy at early stages of the relevant antitrust authority’s (Antitrust Authority) Phase 1 review process, prior to the

Page 9

issues (or state of play) meeting, as well as at any formal Phase 1 remedies stage (and in as timely a manner as is reasonably practicable having regard to the stage of the relevant review process), by means of meetings and/or calls as well as in correspondence, in particular prior to any planned written submissions to or meetings with the Antitrust Authority;

(b) provide the Sellers and their respective advisers with draft copies of all written communications, other than administrative communications, to the Antitrust Authority at such time as will allow the Sellers and their respective advisers a reasonable opportunity, having regard to the stage of the relevant review process, to provide comments on such communications before they are submitted and to consider the Sellers’ comments on the Purchaser’s draft communications. In the event that either Seller does not respond with that Seller’s comments in a timely fashion, the Purchaser will be entitled to proceed without considering the Sellers’ comments;

(c) allow external counsel and one individual from each of the Sellers (as nominated by the Sellers) to be present at meetings, calls and hearings with the Antitrust Authority (including the issues (or state of play) meeting and hearings) and related meetings with the Office of Communications (Ofcom) as observers and to receive copies of all correspondence with and written submissions to the Antitrust Authority and/or Ofcom, except for administrative correspondence (redacted as required for confidentiality reasons, other than as provided on an external counsel basis);

(d) give reasonable consideration to any suggestion that other personnel nominated by the Sellers attend any specific meeting, call or hearing with the Antitrust Authority and/or Ofcom for the purpose of explaining technical issues;

(e) if Phase 1 clearance is not obtained, take such steps as set out in paragraphs (a) to (d) above in relation to Phase 1, save that the longer time period at Phase 2 would allow for more extensive engagement with the Sellers than at Phase 1, provided that (i) at Phase 1 and Phase 2, the timing of any remedy proposals shall be decided by the Purchaser, subject to the Consultation Obligation, but the Purchaser shall comply with the applicable deadlines and the best practices of the Antitrust Authority for remedy proposals; and (ii) the Consultation Obligation at Phase 2 shall in no circumstances confer a binding right of approval or veto on the Sellers on any procedural or substantive matter; and

3.7 Where the Sellers are dissatisfied with the Purchaser’s proposals as to whether to offer or agree to a remedy at Phase 1 or Phase 2, the Consultation Obligation will include, if necessary, a requirement that the Purchaser’s chief executive officer shall consult with the chief executive officers of both the Sellers in a timely fashion, taking into account the stage of the relevant review process, on the same basis as set out in paragraphs (a) to (e) above.

3.8 The Purchaser shall, in connection with the Condition set out in Clause 3.1(a):

Page 10

(a) prepare and publish and circulate to the Purchaser’s shareholders as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement the Circular approved by the UK Listing Authority in relation to the Proposed Transaction convening the General Meeting for not later than 5 May 2015 (or such later date as the Sellers and the Purchaser may agree in writing), together with any other documentation, announcement, form, notice or circular required for the purpose of seeking approval from the Purchaser’s shareholders to implement the Proposed Transaction;

(b) prior to the General Meeting, solicit votes in favour of the Resolutions and keep the Sellers informed of the number of proxy votes received in favour and the number of proxy votes received against the Resolutions (and any abstentions);

(c) propose the Resolutions as set out in the notice to the General Meeting accompanying the Circular without amendment and not seek to amend the Resolutions without the prior written consent of the Sellers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(d) subject to Clause 3.19, convene, hold and transact the relevant business at the General Meeting at the time and date specified in the Circular and take such steps as may be necessary in connection therewith; and

(e) once the Resolutions have been approved by the shareholders of the Purchaser, not propose any resolution or take any action which would result in the Resolutions being revoked or amended, other than if requisitioned to do so by the Purchaser’s shareholders in accordance with the Companies ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇.

3.9 The Sellers shall, and shall procure that the Target Companies shall, at their own cost, use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that the Conditions set out in Clauses 3.1(d) and (e) are fulfilled as soon as is reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement.

3.10 The Purchaser and the Sellers shall, and the Sellers shall procure that the Target Companies shall, provide any Governmental Entity with any necessary information and documents reasonably required for the purpose of making any submissions, notifications and filings to any such Governmental Entity for the purposes of satisfying any of the Conditions, to the extent that such information is within their control and permitted to be disclosed.

3.11 Where the Purchaser, either Seller or any of the Target Companies receives any communication or contact directly from any Governmental Entity (other than a Tax Authority) in relation to the Proposed Transaction, the relevant party shall (and in the case of a Target Company, the Sellers shall procure that the relevant Target Company shall), inform the other parties promptly and shall promptly provide the other parties with copies of any written communication, and full details of any material oral communication.

3.12 Where the Purchaser, either Seller or any of the Target Companies receive any formal or informal written request for information from any Governmental Entity (other than

Page 11

a Tax Authority) in relation to the Proposed Transaction, the relevant party shall (and in the case of a Target Company, the Sellers shall procure that the relevant Target Company shall) inform the other parties immediately and (subject to Clause 3.13) shall consult on the preparation of the response.

3.13 Nothing in Clauses 3.5 to 3.12 shall entitle either of the Sellers or the Purchaser to receive any information which the Purchaser or either of the Sellers (as the case may be) reasonably considers to be commercially sensitive, nor entitle either of the Sellers or the Purchaser (as the case may be) to remain in attendance at meetings or on calls whilst such information is discussed, provided that counsel for the relevant party is provided with such information and permitted to remain in attendance at such meetings or on such calls on condition that such commercially sensitive information shall not be disclosed to their client.

3.14 Each of the Sellers shall:

(a) to the extent such information is within their control or the control of the relevant Target Company, and subject to all applicable laws and regulation (including antitrust laws):

(i) procure that the Target Companies shall, in a timely manner, provide such information (including financial information, the information referred to in (ii) below, and other information relating to the Target Group’s risk factors, trends, material contracts and litigation and business) as is reasonably requested by the Purchaser for the purposes of compliance with the Prospectus Rules or Listing Rules in connection with the production of the Circular, the Prospectus and the Announcement (and any supplement or amendment thereto);

(ii) procure that the Target Companies shall, in a timely manner, provide: (aa) such information for inclusion in or required for preparation of the pro forma financial information to be included in the Circular and/or the Prospectus and for reconciling the Target Group’s financial statements with the Purchaser’s accounting policies for this purpose; (bb) promptly after the conclusion of the audit process, the Company’s Statutory Accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2014; and (cc) information for the purpose of making the no significant change and working capital statements to be included in the Circular and/or the Prospectus, in each case, as reasonably requested by the Purchaser; and

(iii) in a timely manner, provide such information relating to it as is reasonably requested by the Purchaser for the purpose of compliance with the Prospectus Rules or the Listing Rules in connection with the production of the Circular, the Prospectus and the Announcement (and any supplement or amendment thereto);

(b) provide reasonable co-operation, and procure that the Target Companies provide reasonable co-operation (including by providing reasonable access to Target’s management, their advisers and working papers and assisting with the preparation of the working capital model and work to be undertaken in

Page 12

order to reconcile the Target Group’s financial information with the Purchaser’s accounting policies), with the Purchaser for the purpose of the Purchaser understanding and using the information provided to it in accordance with Clause 3.14(a),

provided that in the case of Clause 3.14(a) and (b), neither of the Sellers nor any Target Company shall authorise or take any responsibility for the form or content of the Circular, Prospectus or the Announcement (or any part of them). Information relating to the Target Group provided to the Purchaser by or on behalf of the Sellers or any Target Company prior to the date of this Agreement for preparation of the Announcement shall be deemed to be information provided under this Clause 3.14.

3.15 As soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, each Seller shall appoint one information request representative (each an Information Representative). The Purchaser agrees that all information requests submitted by the Purchaser pursuant to Clause 3.14 shall only be made to both Information Representatives who shall be responsible for co-ordinating and liaising with the Target Companies in relation to the answering of any such information requests and shall have the authority to release any responses to the Purchaser. Save in respect of information provided by or on behalf of the Sellers to the Purchaser in respect of the Announcement, to the extent that the Purchaser receives or obtains any information pursuant to Clause 3.14 from a person other than the Information Representative and the Information Representatives are not copied on the request for such information or present when such information is communicated, such information shall not fall within the scope of the warranty in paragraph 1.15 (Public disclosures and information provided) of Part B of Schedule 1.

3.16 Each of the Sellers and the Purchaser shall promptly notify the others if it becomes actually aware that any of the information supplied by it (including, in respect of the Sellers, supplied by the Target Group) contains such a misstatement or omission, or otherwise has become false or misleading in any material respect, and shall supply such information to the others (in accordance with Clause 3.15) as shall be necessary to correct the misstatement or omission. Without limiting the foregoing, whenever either of the Sellers or the Purchaser becomes aware of any event or change which is required to be set out in an amendment or supplement to the Circular, the Prospectus or the Announcement (including as a result of a misstatement or omission of the kind described in the immediately preceding sentence), as applicable, such party shall promptly inform the others, and the Purchaser shall (as and to the extent required by applicable laws and regulation) prepare, file with the relevant Governmental Entity and/or disseminate to the public (and the Sellers shall procure that the Target Companies cooperate with the Purchaser to the extent reasonably required) such amendment or supplement (including to correct such misstatement or omission), which filing and dissemination shall be made and done, as promptly as practicable.

3.17 The Purchaser agrees to provide advanced drafts of the Circular, the Prospectus and the Announcement to the Sellers and their advisers as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement and to cooperate and consult in good faith with the Sellers and take into account the reasonable comments of the Sellers and their advisers (to the extent they relate to the information relating to the Sellers) and to

Page 13

afford the Sellers reasonable time to review and consider such drafts (provided that it is acknowledged by the Sellers that the final content of the Circular, the Prospectus and the Announcement shall be at the absolute discretion of the Purchaser).

3.18 The Purchaser undertakes to the Sellers that the Announcement shall incorporate a unanimous and unqualified recommendation from the directors of the Purchaser to the Purchaser’s shareholders to vote in favour of the Proposed Transaction and the Resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting. The Purchaser further agrees to repeat such recommendation in the Circular, and that it will not alter, modify or revoke such recommendations, in each case unless to do so is necessary in order for the directors (or any one director) to comply with their (or his or her) statutory or fiduciary duties, and the Purchaser shall obtain and take into account external reputable legal advice in respect of the same prior to altering, modifying or revoking any recommendation and shall (to the extent not prohibited by law or regulation) notify the Sellers as soon as practicable if it considers that any recommendation is reasonably likely not to be made, altered, modified or withdrawn.

3.19 The Purchaser agrees not to adjourn the General Meeting without the prior written consent of the Sellers (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless it is not reasonably practicable to seek such consent because the motion to adjourn is only moved at the General Meeting either by shareholders (other than the directors) or by the chairman as required by his fiduciary duties and obligations as chairman of the General Meeting. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Purchaser may, in its sole discretion (acting reasonably), adjourn, recess or postpone the General Meeting (a) to the extent necessary to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to any Transaction Document is provided to shareholders of the Purchaser within a reasonable amount of time in advance of the General Meeting, (b) to the extent required by applicable law or regulation or any Governmental Entity or (c) if at the time for which the General Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Circular) there is an insufficient number of Purchaser Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the General Meeting. If the General Meeting is adjourned to a day other than that on which it was originally convened, it shall be adjourned for as short a period as is reasonably practicable (or such longer period as the Sellers may agree, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

3.20 Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, the Purchaser undertakes not to propose any resolution or take any other action that would result in the revocation of the Existing Allotment Authority.

3.21 The Conditions set out in Clauses 3.1(a), 3.1(b), 3.1(c), 3.1(d) and 3.1(e) may only be waived by the written agreement of the Sellers and the Purchaser. The Condition set out in Clause 3.1(f) may only be waived by the Purchaser. The Condition in Clause 3.1(g) may only be waived by the Sellers.

3.22 The Sellers and the Purchaser shall each notify the others promptly upon becoming aware that any of the Conditions have been fulfilled. The first Business Day in London on or by which all Conditions have been fulfilled (or waived in accordance with Clause 3.21), save for the Condition in Clause 3.1(c) (which shall be satisfied prior to Closing), is the Unconditional Date.

Page 14

3.23 If the Unconditional Date has not occurred on or before the Longstop Date (or such later date as the parties may agree in writing), this Agreement shall automatically terminate (other than the Surviving Provisions). In such event, no party (nor any member of its Group) shall have any claim under this Agreement of any nature against any other party (or any member of its Group) except in respect of any rights and liabilities which have accrued before termination or under any of the Surviving Provisions.

4. Pre-Closing Undertakings

(d) that it shall not announce, authorise, declare, make or pay any Dividend other than an Ordinary-Course Dividend payable in cash;

(e) that it shall not announce, authorise, make any proposal for, effect or implement any Share Buy Back or return of any part of its capital, other than an Ordinary-Course Share Buy Back;

(f) that it shall not announce, authorise, make any proposal for, effect or implement any Reorganisation;

(g) that it shall not announce, make any proposal for, effect or implement any Spin-Off; and

(h) that it shall not announce, authorise or do or omit to do any other act, matter or thing which would affect the number of Purchaser Shares in issue (other than a Permitted Share Issue or an Ordinary-Course Share Buy Back), or which would give rise to or constitute (i) an income or capital distribution for or payment to Purchaser Shareholders (ignoring any reliefs or relieving provisions) and/or (ii) a shift or transfer of value as between a member of the Purchaser’s Group and Purchaser Shareholders (in their capacity as such) (other than, in the case of each of (i) and (ii), pursuant to an Ordinary-Course Dividend).

The Purchaser shall (subject to applicable law or regulation) notify the Sellers as soon as reasonably practicable in advance of announcing any such Purchaser Change of Control or other transaction under this Clause 4.3.

4.4 Deutsche Telekom, in coordination and consultation with the Purchaser, shall have primary responsibility for obtaining all consents, approvals or actions of any Governmental Entity which may be required in order for Deutsche Telekom to be able to exercise its right pursuant to Clause 5.1 of the Relationship Agreement (the Appointment Condition). The Purchaser shall, and shall procure that all members of the Purchaser Group shall, at their own cost, use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that the Appointment Condition is fulfilled as soon as is reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement. Deutsche Telekom shall keep Orange S.A. generally informed as to the progress of this process.

4.5 The Purchaser shall, and shall procure that all members of the Purchaser Group shall:

(a) provide Deutsche Telekom with any necessary information and documents reasonably required for the purpose of making any submissions, notifications and filings to any Governmental Entity pursuant to Clause 4.4 or for the purpose of preparing responses to any formal or informal written request for information for the purposes of satisfying the Appointment Condition, to the extent that such information is within their control and permitted to be disclosed; and

Without prejudice to the

Page 18

The Sellers and the Purchaser shall use reasonable endeavours to ensure that these discussions (including any resulting changes to the intra-group service agreements or new agreements to be entered into) shall be completed as soon as practicable and in any event by the earlier of (i) the date

Page 19

following six (6) months after the date of this Agreement or (ii) the Closing Date (Deadline Date) which shall be reflected in an agreement (Transitional Services Agreement) to be entered into between each of the Sellers, the Purchaser and the Target Group with effect at Closing.

6.12 The parties agree that the following principles shall apply to their discussions pursuant to Clause 6.11:

(a) the recipient of a Current Service (or, where the recipient is the Target Group, the Purchaser) may elect whether that Current Service should continue to be provided after Closing. Such election shall be made in good faith, having regard to all relevant circumstances, and shall be communicated by written notice to the provider of the Current Service prior to the Deadline Date.

(b) regarding the Intra-Group Current Services:

where the recipient (or Purchaser, where appropriate) elects pursuant to Clause 6.12(a) above that an Intra-Group Current Service should continue after Closing, the following shall apply:

(ii) where no intra-group service agreement exists for the Intra-Group Current Service, the Sellers and the Purchaser shall document the terms on which the Intra-Group Current Service is currently provided (including as to cost) in the Transitional Services Agreement;

(iii) the provider (or Purchaser, where appropriate) shall:

(A) for Intra-Group Current Services that relate to the “TDG services”, “P&I services”, “Technocentre portal (including support)” and “Horizon platform” which the recipient has elected to continue after Closing under Clause 6.12(a), grant a transitional period up to 18 months after Closing in order to ensure a smooth transition and a continuity of the business, except that in the case of the “Technocentre portal” and “Horizon platform” the Sellers and the Purchaser acknowledge that the scope and level of service may be reduced or downscaled during any period following the 12 months after the Closing Date;

(B) for all other Intra-Group Current Services which the recipient has elected to continue after Closing under Clause 6.12(a), grant a transitional period of up to 12 months after Closing in order to ensure a smooth transition and a continuity of the business;

(c) regarding the Third Party Current Services:

Page 20

where the recipient (or Purchaser, where appropriate) elects pursuant to Clause 6.12(a) above that a Third Party Current Service should continue after Closing, the following shall apply:

(i) the Sellers shall use reasonable endeavours to procure that, in so far as practicable, the relevant Third Party Current Services shall continue in effect after Closing for a transitional period of up to six (6) months in accordance with the existing provisions of the relevant corporate group agreement; and

the Sellers shall keep the Purchaser reasonably informed of progress made by each of them or the Target Group (as applicable) in obtaining such continuation.

6.13 With effect from Closing, the Sellers undertake to pay on demand to the Purchaser a sum equal to all Costs paid or payable by any member of the Target Group as a result of the T-Systems Dispute to the extent the T-Systems Dispute is not fully and finally settled (and any settlement amount paid) by Closing.

6.14 Each of the Sellers shall (and shall procure that any relevant Target Company shall) use reasonable endeavours to obtain Amdocs’ consent, if required as a result of the Proposed Transaction, under any of its agreements with the Company (including that dated 27 April 1998 (as amended or varied from time to time thereafter)).

6.15 If any employee or former employee of any Target Company (Relevant Person) becomes entitled following Closing to exercise an option or receive any payment or shares in any member of a Seller Group pursuant to any share or cash incentive schemes, share option schemes, phantom equity schemes, or profit sharing, bonus, commission or other incentive schemes or arrangements operated by a member of a Seller Group:

(a) the relevant Seller shall notify the Purchaser within 3 Business Days of an exercise of an option, payment being made or shares being issued or transferred, and shall provide the Purchaser with such information as the Purchaser requires in order for the Purchaser to calculate any income tax and primary and secondary Class 1 National Insurance contributions which it or a member of the relevant Target Group is obliged to account for to the relevant taxation authorities in respect of options exercised, payments made or shares issued or transferred after Closing to the Relevant Persons by the relevant Seller (the Employee Taxation Liabilities);

(b) the relevant Seller agrees to act as agent for the Target Company to which the Employee Taxation Liabilities relate and collect from any affected Relevant Persons any income tax and primary Class 1 National Insurance contributions arising from such options exercised, payments made or shares issued or transferred (the Employee Amount); and

Page 21

the extent that any failure by the relevant Seller to collect the Employee Amount from any affected Relevant Persons results in additional Employee Taxation Liabilities arising, an amount equal to such additional Employee Taxation Liabilities.

6.16 Each of the parties shall (and until Closing, the Sellers shall procure that each relevant Target Company shall) use reasonable endeavours to procure that with effect from Closing, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 3G and MBNL each consent in writing to amend the cooperation agreement dated 18 December 2007 (as amended) (the Cooperation Agreement) and any other relevant ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 3G Contracts by replacing Deutsche Telekom (or any member of its Group having escalation rights under or in connection with the Cooperation Agreement and any other relevant ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 3G Contracts) with the Purchaser (or any member of its Group designated by the Purchaser to the Sellers before Closing) as the entity to which disputes arising under or in connection the Cooperation Agreement and any other relevant ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 3G Contracts are escalated.

6.17 If, on or prior to Closing, the consents referred to in Clause 6.16 have not been obtained, Deutsche Telekom (or its relevant Group members) shall, if permitted to do so under the Cooperation Agreement or the relevant ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 3G Contract, promptly refer to the Purchaser (or its designee) all matters escalated to any of them thereunder, treat all such matters as confidential, delegate to the Purchaser (or its designee) all escalation powers conferred on it (or its relevant Group members) and act solely on the instructions of the Purchaser (or its designee) until such time as those consents have been obtained, provided that in such circumstances, the Purchaser shall indemnify Deutsche Telekom and any relevant members of its Group in respect of any Costs arising in connection therewith.

7. Purchaser Warranties, Undertakings and Indemnities

7.1 The Purchaser warrants to each Seller as at the date of this Agreement in the terms of the Purchaser Warranties set out in Schedule 3. The Purchaser Warranties at paragraphs 1.1–1.5, 2.1 and 3.1 to 3.6 of Schedule 3 shall be deemed to be repeated immediately before Closing by reference to the facts and circumstances then existing as if references in the Purchaser Warranties to the date of this Agreement were references to the date of Closing.

Page 22

7.4 The Purchaser undertakes to each Seller that it shall not, and it shall procure that no member of its Group or any member of the Target Group shall take or agree to take any step which would or would be reasonably likely to render the transaction envisaged by this Agreement (including the financing arrangements in respect of the transaction) a “type A event” (as defined in Clause 6.9), or a step in a series of steps which together would or would be reasonably likely to render the transaction envisaged by this Agreement (including the financing arrangements in respect of the transaction) a “type A event” (as so defined) in relation to the Pension Scheme. The Purchaser shall, at Closing, provide each of the Sellers with written confirmation that it has complied with the obligation in this Clause 7.4.

9. Conduct of Claims

9.1 Without prejudice to the Purchaser’s right to bring a Non Tax Claim under this Agreement, if the Purchaser becomes aware of any claim or potential claim by a third party against any member of the Target Group (a Third Party Claim) after Closing which is likely to result in a Non Tax Claim being made under this Agreement, the Purchaser shall as soon as reasonably practicable give notice of the Third Party Claim to each of the Sellers and ensure that access is given to such information, documentation and management as is reasonably necessary for a representative appointed jointly by the Sellers (and whose identity is notified to the Purchaser (the Sellers’ Claim Representative)) to make a preliminary assessment of the Third Party Claim (provided that the Sellers shall reimburse reasonably incurred third party out of pocket costs and expenses of the Purchaser).

9.2 Without prejudice to the Purchaser’s right to bring a Non Tax Claim under this Agreement, subject to the Purchaser and each member of its Group being indemnified and secured by the Sellers against all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including those of its legal advisers, incurred in respect of that Third Party Claim, the Purchaser shall:

(a) provide such information as is reasonable so as to enable the Sellers’ Claim Representative to investigate further the Third Party Claim on behalf of the Sellers;

(b) not (and procure that no member of its Group shall) admit liability or make any agreement or compromise with any person, body or authority in relation to that Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Claim Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and

Any party may respond by announcement to any such disclosures if and to the extent it did not approve such disclosure in advance or as may otherwise be agreed between the parties or as required of it by law;

(b) disclosure is of Confidential Information which was lawfully in the possession of that party or any of its Representatives (in either case as evidenced by written records) without any obligation of secrecy prior to its being received or held;

(c) disclosure is of Confidential Information which has previously become publicly available other than through that party’s fault (or that of its Representatives); or

(d) disclosure is required for the purpose of any arbitral or judicial proceedings arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

23.4 Each of the Sellers and the Purchaser (and each member of their respective Groups) may only disclose Confidential Information to Representatives (or any other party permitted in accordance with Clause 23.2) if it is reasonably required for purposes connected with this Agreement and only if such persons are informed of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information, the terms of this Clause 23 and that each such person is directed by the Sellers or the Purchaser (or member of their respective Groups) (as the case may be) to treat the Confidential Information confidentially and not to use it other than for the purposes described above. A party disclosing Confidential Information to its Representatives (or other person permitted under Clause 23.2) shall be responsible and liable for any breach of the terms of this Clause 23 as if such Representatives were a party to this Agreement.

23.5 Each of the Sellers and the Purchaser respectively shall identify its Competitively Sensitive Information by affixing a conspicuous and legible ▇▇▇▇ on the documents/files containing Competitively Sensitive Information, and/or by indexing such Competitively Sensitive Information in categories clearly indicated as comprising only Competitively Sensitive Information. Competitively Sensitive Information should be kept secure and separate from other records, documents and information.

Page 39

23.6 In order to ensure that Competitively Sensitive Information is appropriately safeguarded and reviewed in a controlled environment consistent with all applicable antitrust, competition and other laws and regulations, each Seller and the Purchaser have established a limited team (the Clean Team) composed of such party’s staff and, if appropriate, third party advisors appointed by each such party for the Proposed Transaction (each a Clean Team Member) in order to receive Competitively Sensitive Information. Clean Team Members meet the following requirement: they have a need to know the Competitively Sensitive Information for the purpose of carrying out the task assigned to them for the implementation of the Proposed Transaction.

23.7 Competitively Sensitive Information is and shall be shared only within the Clean Team of the party receiving such information and is and shall not be shared with any person in its organisation outside the Clean Team (except as set forth below). In addition, Competitively Sensitive Information is and shall be used solely for the purpose of implementing the transaction contemplated in this Agreement, provided that the Clean Team Members can always, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, review Competitively Sensitive Information and prepare reports based on such information which do not contain Competitively Sensitive Information (or which present Competitively Sensitive Information in a generalised or aggregated form or in any other manner that eliminates the competitive sensitivity attaching to the information in question) and send such summary reports to others within the organization of the party receiving the Competitively Sensitive Information who are not members of that party’s Clean Team.

23.8 If in the reasonable judgment of the party receiving the Competitively Sensitive Information, such information is absolutely necessary for that party’s implementation of the transaction contemplated in this Agreement (and where there is no reasonably satisfactory possibility of presenting the Competitively Sensitive Information in a generalized or aggregated form or in any other manner that eliminates the competitive sensitivity attaching to the information in question), that party shall have the right to share such Competitively Sensitive Information with (i) the members of its board of directors (and, to the extent necessary, members of the board of directors of the members of its Group), (ii) the members of its investment committee, and (iii) the members of its executive committee. The Sellers and the Purchaser agree and acknowledge that all Confidential Information of each party shall remain the sole and exclusive property of such party.

23.9 If any of the Sellers or the Purchaser (or members of their respective Groups or Representatives) breaches this Clause 23, such person shall notify the other party or parties to which such breach relates as soon as practicable after it becomes aware of such breach.

23.10 If this Agreement terminates prior to Closing pursuant to Clause 3.23 or Clause 12 so far as reasonably practicable each party shall and shall procure that its Representatives to whom Confidential Information has been transmitted, shall promptly destroy all tangible Confidential Information which is in its possession or

Page 40

control in whatever form, including if stored in computer files, disks or sticks, and so far as reasonably practicable each party shall not retain any copies, extracts or other reproductions in whole or in part of such tangible material, except for: (i) material which a party or its Representative must preserve in order to comply with any applicable law or regulation or the rules of any listing authority or stock exchange on which the shares or securities of such party (or member of its Group) are listed or traded or as required by any competent judicial, governmental or regulatory (including professional) body; (ii) any copies stored in accordance with legal, disaster recovery and records retention requirements provided that such copies and derivative works are stored in an archival format (e.g. tape backups); and (iii), one copy of briefs containing Confidential Information prepared for (a) the party´s board of directors; and (b) each party´s internal sign-on and sign-off governance process in relation to the Proposed Transaction. Each party shall confirm in writing (such confirmation to be signed by an authorised officer or director) that they have complied with their obligations pursuant hereto.

23.11 The Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate with effect from the date of this Agreement. The Purchaser shall be responsible for ensuring that letters entered into by individuals employed within its Group pursuant to or in connection with the Confidentiality Agreement shall be adhered to by those individuals.

23.12 The Purchaser undertakes to the Target Companies, each Seller and each member of their respective Groups, in consideration for access to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 3G Contracts and the MBNL Agreements, that the Purchaser will comply, and will procure that each member of the Purchaser Group and its Representatives will comply, with the terms of the MBNL Disclosure Process and will be liable to the Target Companies, each Seller and each member of their respective Groups as a result of any non-compliance with the MBNL Disclosure Process by the Purchaser, any member of the Purchaser Group and any of its Representatives.

24. Assignment

24.1 Except as provided in this Clause 24 or unless the Sellers and the Purchaser specifically agree in writing, no person shall assign, transfer, charge or otherwise deal with all or any of its rights under this Agreement nor grant, declare, create or dispose of any right or interest in it.

24.2 Either of the Sellers or the Purchaser may, without the consent of the other parties, assign to a wholly owned subsidiary the benefit of the whole or any part of this Agreement, provided that if the assignee ceases to be a wholly owned subsidiary of the party concerned, it shall before ceasing to be so assign the benefit, so far as assigned to it, back to that party or assign the benefit to another wholly owned subsidiary of that party.

24.3 If any assignment is made in accordance with Clause 24.2, the assignee shall not be entitled to benefit from any greater obligation, or to receive any greater amount, than that to which the assigning party would have been entitled.

(a) where the Non Tax Claim relates to a contingent liability, in which case it shall be deemed to have been withdrawn unless legal proceedings in respect of it have been commenced by being both issued and validly served within 9 months of it having become an actual liability; or

(b) where the Non Tax Claim is a Claim for which notice is given for the purpose of paragraph 1 above at a time when the amount set out in paragraph 2(b) has not been exceeded, in which case it shall be deemed to have been withdrawn unless legal proceedings in respect of it have been commenced by being both issued and validly served within 9 months of the date of any subsequent notification to either or both of the Sellers pursuant to paragraph 1 above of one or more Claims which result(s) in the total amount claimed in all Claims notified to the Sellers (or either of them) pursuant to paragraph 1 exceeding (in aggregate) the amount set out in paragraph 2(b) for the first time.

Limitations not applicable if fraud etc.

Matters disclosed or taken into account

Page 75

Contingent liabilities

8. If any claim under a Transaction Document (other than a Claim under the Tax Covenant) is based upon a liability which is contingent only, neither Seller shall be liable to make payment unless and until the contingent liability gives rise to an obligation to make a payment. This is without prejudice to the right of the Purchaser to give notice of the Claim in accordance with paragraph 1 and to issue and serve proceedings in respect of it before such time.

No double recovery

Insured Claims

12. The Sellers’ liability in respect of any claim under this Agreement (other than a Tax Claim) shall be reduced by an amount equal to any loss or damage to which the claim related which has actually been recovered under a policy of insurance (after deducting any out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred in making such recovery including the amount of any excess or deductible) without prejudice to the Purchaser’s ability to bring a claim under this Agreement, and the Purchaser shall use reasonable endeavours to make recovery under any such policies of insurance.

Recovery from third party after payment from Seller

13. If one or both Sellers have made a payment to the Purchaser in relation to any claim under this Agreement (other than a Tax Claim) and the Purchaser or any member of the Purchaser Group or any Target Company recovers (whether by insurance, payment, discount, credit, Relief or otherwise) from a third party a sum which is referable to the matter giving rise to the claim or obtains any Relief, saving or benefit (other than a Relief, saving or benefit which has already been taken into account under Clause 20.7 in computing the amount payable) which is so referable, the Purchaser or relevant member of the Purchaser Group or the relevant Target Company shall pay as soon as practicable after receipt:

(a) (i) if both Sellers have made a payment to the Purchaser, an aggregate amount equal to 50 per cent. of the amount recovered from the third party (net of Taxation and less any reasonable costs of recovery) or the value of the Relief, saving or benefit obtained, calculated by reference to the amount saved (less any reasonable costs of recovery) to each Seller; or (ii) if only one Seller has made a payment to the Purchaser, an aggregate amount equal to the amount recovered from the third party (net of Taxation and less any reasonable costs of recovery) or the value of the Relief, saving or benefit obtained, calculated by reference to the amount saved (less any reasonable costs of recovery); or

(b) if the amount referred to in subparagraph (a) exceeds the amount paid by the relevant Seller to the Purchaser or member of the Purchaser Group in respect of the relevant claim, such lesser amount as shall have been so paid by the relevant Seller,

provided that such amount would not, after taking into account all payments made by the Sellers in respect of the relevant claim (net of Taxation and less any reasonable costs of recovery), leave the Purchaser’s Group and the Target Companies with a total amount which is less than the aggregate liability of the Sellers in respect of such claim.

Page 77

No liability for legislation or changes in rates of Tax or accounting policy

14. Neither Seller shall be liable for any Non Tax Claim if and to the extent it is attributable to, or the amount of such Claim is increased as a result of, any: (i) legislation not in force as at Closing; (ii) change of law (or any change in interpretation on the basis of case law), regulation, directive, requirement or administrative practice having the force of law; or (iii) change in the rates of Taxation in force as at Closing; or (iv) change in accounting policy or practice in force as at Closing.

Sellers to have opportunity to remedy breaches

15. A breach of this Agreement which is capable of remedy shall not entitle the Purchaser to a remedy from a Seller (or both Sellers) unless the relevant Seller(s) is/are given written notice of the breach by the Purchaser and the breach is not remedied within 30 days after the date on which notice is served on the relevant Seller(s). If the breach has not been remedied within that 30 day period, then the date on which notice of a Claim in respect of that breach shall be deemed to have been given to the relevant Seller(s) for the purpose of paragraph 1 above shall be the date on which notice was given under this paragraph 15, provided that the notice satisfied the other requirements of paragraph 1 above when so given.

Claims under warranty 1.15 (Public disclosures and information provided)

16. The Purchaser shall not be permitted to bring a Claim in respect of a breach of the warranty set out in paragraph 1.15 of Part B of Schedule 1 except if (i) any person who made an investment decision in reliance on a Relevant Public Document brings a claim (other than a vexatious claim) against the Purchaser (or against an adviser or underwriter of the Purchaser and that adviser or underwriter in turn brings a claim against the Purchaser) for compensation, or (ii) the Financial Conduct Authority or any other relevant regulator fines or otherwise sanctions the Purchaser, and in each case to the extent that such claims, fines or sanctions arise from any fact or matter being materially incorrect or any material misstatement or material omission in the Relevant Public Document to the extent resulting from any information provided by or on behalf of the Sellers pursuant to Clause 3.14 being materially incorrect or omitting to include any material information required to be included.

Schedule 4

Limitations on Purchaser’s Liability

Time Limits

1. The Purchaser shall not be liable for any Purchaser Claim unless it receives from a Seller written notice containing such details as are then available of the matter giving rise to the Purchaser Claim:

(a) prior to the date following 18 months after the Closing Date in the case of a Purchaser Claim, other than a Purchaser Claim under the Core Purchaser Warranties or under paragraph 8 (Secondary Liabilities) of the Tax Covenant; and

(b) prior to the date falling 7 (seven) years after the Closing Date in the case of a Purchaser Claim under the Core Purchaser Warranties or under paragraph 8 (Secondary Liabilities) of the Tax Covenant.

Thresholds for Purchaser Claims

2. The Purchaser shall not be liable for any single Purchaser Claim for breach of a Purchaser Warranty other than any Purchaser Claim in respect of the Core Purchaser Warranties:

(a) unless the amount of the liability pursuant to that single Purchaser Claim (and, for these purposes, a number of Purchaser Claims arising out of a series of related events or circumstances may be aggregated and form a single Purchaser Claim) exceeds £10,000,000 (in which case, the Sellers shall be able to claim, in aggregate, the whole amount of such Purchaser Claim and not merely the excess); and

(b) unless the aggregate amount of the liability of the Purchaser for all Purchaser Claims not prohibited by subparagraph (a) above exceeds £150,000,000.

For the avoidance of doubt, a Seller may give notice of any single Purchaser Claim in accordance with and for the purpose of paragraph 1 above, irrespective of whether, at the time the notice is given, the amount set out in paragraph 2(b) has been exceeded.

Maximum limit for all Purchaser Claims

3. The aggregate amount of the liability of the Purchaser for:

(a) all Purchaser Claims (other than Purchaser Claims under the Core Purchaser Warranties or under paragraph 8 (Secondary Liabilities) of the Tax Covenant) and any claim under Clauses 7.5 and 7.6 shall not exceed the sum which is equal to £2,250,000,000 (two billion two hundred and fifty million pounds sterling); and

Page 82

Purchaser Claim to be withdrawn unless litigation commenced

4. Any Purchaser Claim shall (if it has not been previously satisfied, settled or withdrawn) be deemed to have been withdrawn unless legal proceedings in respect of it have commenced by both being issued and validly served within 9 months of notification to the Purchaser pursuant to paragraph 1 except:

(a) where the Purchaser Claim relates to a contingent liability, in which case it shall be deemed to have been withdrawn unless legal proceedings in respect of it have been commenced by being both issued and validly served within 9 months of it having become an actual liability; or

(b) where the Purchaser Claim is a Purchaser Claim for which notice is given for the purpose of paragraph 1 above at a time when the amount set out in paragraph 2(b) has not been exceeded, in which case it shall be deemed to have been withdrawn unless legal proceedings in respect of it have been commenced by being both issued and validly served within 6 months of the date of any subsequent notification to the Purchaser pursuant to paragraph 1 above of one or more Purchaser Claims which result(s) in the total amount claimed in all Purchaser Claims notified to the Purchaser pursuant to paragraph 1 exceeding (in aggregate) the amount set out in paragraph 2(b) for the first time.

Limitations not applicable if fraud etc.

5. None of the limitations contained in this Schedule shall apply to any Purchaser Claim to the extent that the Purchaser Claim (or the delay in discovery of it) is the consequence of, or is increased as a consequence of, dishonest or deliberate mis-statement or concealment or other fraud by the Purchaser or any other member of the Purchaser’s Group or any officer or employee (or former officer or employee) of the Purchaser.

Matters disclosed or taken into account

6. The Purchaser shall not be liable for any Purchaser Claim for breach of a Purchaser Warranty:

(b) if and to the extent the matter is expressly set out in this Agreement or any Transaction Document; or

(c) if and to the extent the matter appears on the files of the Purchaser at Companies House as the same appeared on the Business Day prior to the date of this Agreement.

Page 83

Contingent liabilities

7. If any claim under a Transaction Document is based upon a liability which is contingent only, the Purchaser shall not be liable to make payment unless and until the contingent liability gives rise to an obligation to make a payment. This is without prejudice to the right of the Sellers (acting jointly) to give notice of the Claim in accordance with paragraph 1 and to issue and serve proceedings in respect of it before such time. For the avoidance of doubt, the fact that the liability may not have become an actual liability by the relevant date provided in paragraph 1 shall not exonerate the Purchaser in respect of the Claim properly notified before that date.

No double recovery

8. A Seller shall not be entitled to recover damages or obtain payment, reimbursement, restitution or indemnity more than once in respect of any one liability, loss, Cost, shortfall, damage or deficiency, regardless of whether more than one claim under a Transaction Document arises in respect of it, and for this purpose recovery by either Seller shall be deemed to be a recovery by both of them.

Sellers’ duty to mitigate

9. Each of the Sellers shall mitigate (to the extent required by law for breach of contract (which standard shall also apply to any indemnity under this Agreement)) any loss or damage which it or any member of its Group may suffer in consequence of any breach by the Purchaser of the terms of this Agreement or any fact, matter, event or circumstance likely to give rise to a claim under a Transaction Document.

Insured Purchaser Claims

10. The Purchaser’s liability in respect of any claim under this Agreement shall be reduced by an amount equal to any loss or damage to which the Purchaser Claim related which has actually been recovered under a policy of insurance (after deducting any out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred in making such recovery including the amount of any excess or deductible) without prejudice to either Seller’s ability to bring a claim under this Agreement, and each Seller shall use reasonable endeavours to make recovery under any such policies of insurance.

Recovery from third party after payment from Purchaser

11. Where the Purchaser has made a payment to the Sellers (or either of them) in relation to any claim under this Agreement and either Seller or any member of either Seller’s Group recovers (whether by insurance, payment, discount, credit, Relief or otherwise) from a third party a sum which is referable to the matter giving rise to the claim or obtains any Relief, saving or benefit (other than a Relief, saving or benefit which has already been taken into account under Clause 20.7 in computing the amount payable) which is so referable, the relevant Seller or relevant member of the relevant Seller’s Group shall pay to the Purchaser as soon as practicable after receipt:

(a) an aggregate amount equal to the amount recovered from the third party (net of Taxation and less any reasonable costs of recovery) or the value of the Relief, saving or benefit obtained, calculated by reference to the amount saved (less any reasonable costs of recovery); or

Page 84

(b) if the amount referred to in subparagraph (a) exceeds the amount in aggregate paid by the Purchaser to the Sellers or member of the Sellers’ Groups in respect of the relevant claim, such lesser amount as shall have been so paid by the Purchaser.

No liability for legislation or changes in rates of Tax or accounting policy

12. The Purchaser shall not be liable for any Purchaser Claim if and to the extent it is attributable to, or the amount of such Purchaser Claim is increased as a result of, any: (i) legislation not in force as at Closing; (ii) change of law (or any change in interpretation on the basis of case law), regulation, directive, requirement or administrative practice having the force of law; or (iii) change in the rates of Taxation in force as at Closing; or (iv) change in accounting policy or practice in force as at Closing.

Purchaser to have opportunity to remedy breaches

13. A breach of this Agreement which is capable of remedy shall not entitle a Seller to a remedy from Purchaser unless the Purchaser is given written notice of the breach by a Seller and the breach is not remedied within 30 days after the date on which notice is served on the Purchaser. If the breach has not been remedied within that 30 day period, then the date on which notice of a Purchaser Claim in respect of that breach shall be deemed to have been given to the Purchaser for the purpose of paragraph 1 above shall be the date on which notice was given under this paragraph 13 provided that the notice satisfied the other requirements of paragraph 1 above when so given.

1. General/Compliance

Returns etc.

1.1 Each Target Company has within the past four years duly, and within any appropriate time limits, made all returns, given all notices and supplied all other information required to be supplied to all relevant Tax Authorities and has maintained all records required to be maintained for Tax purposes; all such information was and remains complete and accurate in all material respects and all such returns and notices were and, so far as the Seller is aware, remain complete and accurate in all material respects and were made on the proper basis and do not reveal any transactions which may be the subject of any dispute with, or any enquiry raised, by any Tax Authority.

Disputes, investigations

1.2 No Target Company is involved in any current dispute with any Tax Authority or is or has in the last four years been the subject of any investigation, enquiry, audit or non-routine visit by any Tax Authority. So far as the Seller is aware in relation to each Target Company there is no planned investigation, enquiry, audit or non-routine visit by any Tax Authority and there are no facts which might cause such an investigation, enquiry, audit or non-routine visit to be instituted.

Penalties, interest, security

1.3 Within the past four years, no Target Company nor any director or officer of any Target Company (in his capacity as such) has paid or become liable to pay, and so far as the Seller is aware there are no circumstances by reason of which it or they may become liable to pay to any Tax Authority, any penalty, fine, surcharge or interest in respect of Tax (including in respect of any failure to make any return, give any notice or supply any information to any relevant Tax Authority, or any failure to keep or preserve any records or to pay Tax on the due date for payment), or has been criminally convicted of any offence related to Tax. No Target Company has within the past four years been required to provide any security in respect of any amount of Tax and no asset of a Target Company is subject to any charge or power of sale in favour of any Tax Authority.

Rulings etc.

1.4 No transaction undertaken in the past four years in respect of which any consent, ruling, confirmation or clearance (each a Ruling) was required or sought from any Tax Authority has been entered into or carried out by any Target Company without such Ruling having first been properly obtained and all information supplied to any Tax Authority in connection with any such Ruling fully and accurately disclosed all

Page 97

facts and circumstances material to the giving of such Ruling. Any transaction for which such Ruling was obtained has been carried out only in accordance with the terms of such Ruling and the application on which the Ruling was based and at a time when such Ruling was valid and effective. So far as the Seller is aware, no facts or circumstances have arisen since any such Ruling was obtained which would cause the Ruling to become invalid or ineffective.

DOTAS and GAAR

1.5 No Target Company:

(a) has been required to provide HMRC with any information pursuant to Part 7 of the Finance ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ (as amended) or any regulations made thereunder; or

(b) has, so far as the Seller is aware, done anything which would reasonably be expected to result in an adjustment being made to counteract a tax advantage pursuant to Part 5 of the Finance ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ (GAAR) or under the “Halifax” principle (Halifax plc v Customs & Excise Commissioners [2006] STC 919).

Special arrangements

1.6 No Tax Authority has operated or agreed to operate any special arrangement (being an arrangement which is not based on relevant legislation or any published practice) in relation to any Target Company’s affairs.

Deemed disposals etc. of assets and liabilities

1.7 The implementation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not give rise to any deemed disposal or realisation by any Target Company of any asset or liability for any Tax purpose.

Withholdings

1.8 Each Target Company has made all deductions and retentions of or on account of Tax as it was or is obliged in the past four years to make and all such payments of or on account of Tax as should have been made to any Tax Authority in respect of such deductions or retentions.

P.A.Y.E./National Insurance

2.1 All National Insurance contributions and sums payable to HMRC under the P.A.Y.E. system and any amounts of a corresponding nature (including any social security, social fund or similar contributions) payable in the past four years to any Tax Authority by any Target Company have been paid and each Target Company has made all such deductions and retentions as should have been made under applicable laws and regulations in respect thereof.

3. Chargeable gains

3.1 No material asset of any Target Company has any “held-over gain” as referred to in section 154 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ to which section 154(2) of

Page 98

the Taxation of Chargeable Gains ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ applies. No Target Company holds any material asset (other than shares in another Target Company) in respect of which any of sections 116, 135 or 136 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ applied (including for the avoidance of doubt where any of those sections was treated as having or was deemed to have applied by virtue of any other statutory provision) in relation to the acquisition of such asset by it or any other Target Company.

4. Losses and Reliefs

Surrenders

4.1 The Disclosure Letter gives full details of any Surrender by or to each Target Company (excluding any Surrender by a Target Company to another Target Company), including any receipt or payment (or any entitlement to receive or obligation to make a payment) in respect thereof.

5. Company Residence/permanent establishment

5.1 Each Target Company is and has at all times been resident in its country of incorporation for Tax purposes and is not and has not at any time been treated as resident in any other jurisdiction for any Tax purpose (including any double taxation arrangement).

6. Transfer Pricing

6.1 Within the past four years, all transactions between any Target Companies, or between any Target Company and any current or past member of the Seller’s Tax Group, have been and are on fully arm’s length terms or, where the parties to the arrangements were resident for Tax purposes in the UK, appropriate corresponding adjustments were made. So far as the Seller is aware, there are no circumstances which are reasonably expected to cause any Tax Authority to make any material adjustment for Tax purposes, or require any such material adjustment to be made, to the terms on which any such transaction is treated as taking place, and within the past four years no such adjustment has been made, threatened or attempted in fact.

Part C: Tax Covenant

1. COVENANT TO PAY

1.1 Each Seller hereby covenants severally with the Purchaser to pay to the Purchaser an amount equal to 50% of:

(i) any income, profits or gains earned, accrued or received on or before Closing;

(ii) any Event which occurs or occurred on or before Closing;

(b) any Deemed Tax Liability; and

(c) any reasonable costs and expenses properly incurred by the Purchaser or any of the Target Companies in connection with a successful claim under this paragraph 1.1, or in connection with the subject matter of any such successful claim.

1.2 Each Seller hereby covenants with the Purchaser to pay to the Purchaser an amount equal to any liability of a Target Company to:

(a) make to any member of that Seller’s Tax Group any Payment for Consortium Relief; or

(b) repay to any member of that Seller’s Tax Group the whole or any part of any Payment for Consortium Relief previously received,

in each case pursuant to any agreement or arrangement effective prior to Closing.

2. EXCLUSIONS

2.1 The covenants contained in paragraph1.1 shall not cover any Tax Liability to the extent that:

(a) amounts in respect of that Tax Liability have been taken into account in calculating, or is reflected in the calculation of, a Closing Statement Adjustment Amount;

(b) the Tax Liability was paid or discharged before Closing and such payment or discharge was taken into account in calculating, or is reflected in the calculation of, a Closing Statement Adjustment Amount (including where Cash is less than it would have been in the absence of the payment or discharge);

(c) the Tax Liability arises or is increased as a result of any increase in rates of Tax, an imposition of Tax or any other change in law or published practice or published interpretation of a Tax Authority which is announced and comes into force after Closing;

(d) the Tax Liability would not have arisen but for a voluntary transaction, action or omission carried out or effected by a member of the Purchaser’s Group or a Target Company at any time after Closing, except that this exclusion shall not apply where any such transaction, action or omission:

Page 102

(i) is carried out or effected pursuant to a legally binding commitment created on or before Closing;

(ii) is carried out at the written direction of either Seller;

(iii) is carried out or effected in the ordinary course of business as carried on at Closing;

(iv) without prejudice to paragraphs (i) to (iii) above, is carried out by any member of the Purchaser’s Group or a Target Company in circumstances where the Purchaser did not know and could not reasonably be expected to know that it would or might give rise to the Tax Liability in question;

(e) the Tax Liability comprises interest or penalties arising by virtue of an underpayment of Tax prior to Closing, insofar as such underpayment would not have been an underpayment but for a bona fide estimate made prior to Closing of the amount of income, profits or gains to be earned, accrued or received after Closing proving to be incorrect;

(f) the Tax Liability arises as a result of a change after Closing in the length of any Accounting Period of any Target Company, or (other than a change which is necessary in order to comply with the law or generally accepted accounting principles applicable to that Target Company at Closing) a change after Closing in any accounting policy or Tax reporting practice of any Target Company;

(g) any Relief (other than a Purchaser’s Relief) is available (or would have been available but for its having been used to reduce or eliminate an Actual Tax Liability for which the Sellers would not have been liable under paragraph 1.1), or is for no consideration made available by either Seller, to any of the Target Companies to set against or otherwise reduce or eliminate the Tax Liability (and so that for this purpose any Relief arising in respect of an Accounting Period falling partly before and partly after Closing shall be apportioned on a time basis);

(h) the Tax Liability is a liability to Tax comprising interest, penalties, charges or costs insofar as attributable to the unreasonable delay or default of any member of the Purchaser’s Group or any Target Company after Closing;

(i) the Tax Liability is a liability to Tax on an amount of income, profits or gains which was actually earned, accrued or received by a Target Company on or prior to Closing (the value or benefit of which has not been distributed or otherwise transferred to or for the benefit of either of the Sellers or any member of a Seller’s Group) but which was not taken into account in calculating, or reflected in the calculation of, a Closing Statement Adjustment Amount;

(j) a member of the Purchaser’s Group or a Target Company has received from any third party (other than any member of the Purchaser’s Group or any Target Company) a payment in respect of the Tax Liability (less the amount of any reasonable costs and expenses in obtaining such recovery, and net of any Tax payable on the amount recovered or that would have been payable but for the use or set off of any Purchaser’s Relief);

(k) the Tax Liability would not have arisen but for a failure by the Purchaser to comply with its obligations under paragraph 3 or paragraph 9;

Page 103

(l) the Tax Liability would not have arisen but for:

(i) a claim, election, surrender or disclaimer made, or notice or consent given, or another thing done, after Closing by a Target Company (other than one the making, giving or doing of which was assumed in calculating, or reflected in the calculation of, a Closing Statement Adjustment Amount or was carried out at the written direction of either Seller or otherwise pursuant to the Sellers’ rights under this Part C of this Schedule) under, or in connection with, a provision of an enactment or regulation relating to Tax; or

(ii) a Target Company’s failure or omission to make a claim, election, surrender or disclaimer, or give a notice, or consent or do another thing, under, or in connection with, a provision of an enactment or regulation relating to Tax after Closing, the making, giving or doing of which was assumed in calculating, or reflected in the calculation of, a Closing Statement Adjustment Amount;

(m) the Tax Liability would not have arisen but for any Target Company ceasing to carry on any trade or business or effecting a major change in the nature or conduct of its trade or business in each case after Closing; or

(n) the Tax Liability is an Actual Tax Liability on income, profits or gains earned, accrued or received by a Target Company in the ordinary course of its business or which have been reported, or otherwise been reflected, in any Tax Return or amended Tax Return on or before Closing and which in either case would not have arisen but for the failure of a Target Company to take after Closing any action to use any available Carried Forward Loss or any available Relief the use or set off of which falls to be dealt with in paragraph (c) of the definition of Deemed Tax Liability, to set against or otherwise reduce or eliminate that Actual Tax Liability.

2.2 The covenants contained in paragraph1.2 shall not cover any liability to the extent that:

(a) amounts in respect of that liability have been taken into account in calculating, or have been reflected in the calculation of, a Closing Statement Adjustment Amount; or

(b) the liability was paid or discharged before Closing and such payment or discharge was taken into account in calculating, or is reflected in the calculation of, a Closing Statement Adjustment Amount (including where Cash is less than it would have been in the absence of the payment or discharge).

2.3 Without prejudice to paragraph 1.1(b), the Sellers shall have no liability to the Purchaser under paragraph 1 of this Part C or under Part B of this Schedule (other than under paragraph 4 of Part B of this Schedule) in respect of any loss of a Relief except to the extent giving rise to an Actual Tax Liability to which paragraph 1.1(a) applies.

2.4 The provisions of paragraphs 2.1 and 2.2 shall also operate to limit or reduce the liability of a Seller in respect of claims under the Tax Warranties, and the provisions of paragraph 2.3 shall also operate to limit or reduce the liability of a Seller in respect of claims under the Tax Warranties (other than claims under the Tax Warranties in paragraph 4 of Part B of this Schedule).

Page 104

2.5 The provisions of Schedule 2 (Limitations on Sellers’ Liability) shall, to the extent provided for in that Schedule, also apply to limit or reduce the liability of a Seller under this Part C.

2.6 For the avoidance of doubt, the Sellers shall have no liability to the Purchaser under paragraph 1.1(b) in relation to the use or set off of any Relief the use or set off of which falls to be dealt with in paragraph (c) of the definition of Deemed Tax Liability to the extent attributable to the disallowance of a Tax deduction for any management fee payable by the Company to any member of a Seller’s Group to the extent that such disallowance has been reflected in the calculation of the deferred tax assets or liabilities in the Company’s audited accounts for any Accounting Period ended on or before 31 December 2013 or would be so reflected in the calculation of the Company’s deferred tax assets or liabilities for any subsequent Accounting Period or part period ending on or before Closing, if a similar policy were adopted as was adopted for such prior periods.

3. NOTIFICATION OF CLAIMS AND CONDUCT OF DISPUTES

3.1 If the Purchaser becomes aware of any Tax Demand then the Purchaser shall promptly give notice of that Tax Demand to the Sellers (or shall procure that such notice is given). If a Seller receives any written notification or communication directly from a Tax Authority indicating the existence of any Tax Demand without having received notification under this paragraph 3.1, it shall promptly give notice of the same to the Purchaser and the other Seller, and the Purchaser’s obligations to give notice of the Tax Demand under this paragraph 3.1 shall be deemed to be satisfied.

3.2 The Purchaser shall keep each Seller fully informed of any developments in relation to the matter which is the subject of the Tax Demand (the Disputed Matter) and shall promptly provide each Seller with copies of all correspondence and documentation relating to the Disputed Matter. The Purchaser shall not (and shall procure that each Target Company shall not) settle or compromise any Disputed Matter without the joint prior written approval of the Sellers (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Purchaser shall, subject to paragraphs 3.3 and 3.4, take (or shall procure that the relevant Target Company shall take) such action as the Sellers acting jointly reasonably request to dispute, resist, appeal, compromise or defend any Disputed Matter and any adjudication in respect thereof.

3.3 Subject to paragraph 3.5, the Purchaser shall not be required to take any action pursuant to paragraph 3.2:

(a) unless the Purchaser and the Target Company concerned is each promptly and fully indemnified and secured by the Sellers against all losses, costs, damages and expenses that are or may be thereby incurred (each Seller being liable to indemnify and secure the Purchaser for 50% of the amount of the aforementioned losses, costs, damages and expenses); or

(b) if, in the Purchaser’s reasonable opinion, the action either (i) is likely to have an adverse effect on the future liability to Tax of a Target Company or any other member of the Purchaser’s Group which adverse effect is material in the context of the Purchaser’s Group taken as a whole (including for these purposes the Target Companies) (unless and until the indemnity referred to in paragraph 3.3(a) above is extended to include and cover fully any such additional future liability to Tax) provided that the loss or deferral of any Relief (other than a Purchaser’s Relief) shall not be deemed to have such an effect or (ii) would be prejudicial to the business of a

Page 105

Target Company or any other member of the Purchaser’s Group where such prejudice is material in the context of the Purchaser’s Group taken as a whole (including for these purposes the Target Companies) (provided that the Purchaser shall not be entitled to invoke its right not to take any action requested by the Sellers on the basis of (ii) unless it shall first have discussed in good faith its concerns with the Sellers and taken any steps reasonably requested by the Sellers (acting jointly) to reduce the likelihood of the requested action having such prejudicial effect, which may, subject to such steps being reasonable in all the circumstances, include allowing the Sellers jointly to pursue a dispute in their own names and/or making it clear publicly that the dispute is being pursued at the request of the Sellers); or

(c) in the case of any action which relates to any actual or proposed tax litigation unless (if reasonably requested by the Purchaser) an Independent Tax Adviser, after disclosure of all relevant information and documents to such Independent Tax Adviser and provided that the Purchaser’s reasonable comments are taken into account in any instructions given to such Independent Tax Adviser and that the Purchaser has been given the opportunity to attend any consultation (including any consultation that takes place by telephone) with such Independent Tax Adviser, advises that it is reasonable to take the action requested by the Sellers (acting jointly).

3.4 If the Sellers do not jointly request the Purchaser to take any appropriate action within twenty (20) Business Days of notice of the relevant Tax Demand having been given or deemed to have been given to the Sellers pursuant to paragraph 3.1 or other request by the Purchaser for direction as to how to conduct the Disputed Matter in accordance with paragraph 3.2 (or, where the Sellers have been notified of a shorter applicable time limit for responding to the relevant Tax Authority, by two (2) Business Days prior to the expiry of that time limit), or no action is required to be taken by virtue of any of the provisions of paragraph 3.3, the Purchaser shall be free to satisfy or settle (or to allow the Target Company concerned to satisfy or settle) the relevant Disputed Matter on such terms as it may, acting reasonably, think fit, which shall not include taking any step which they would not have taken in the absence of the provisions of this Schedule.

3.5 Paragraphs 3.3(b) and (c) shall not apply so as to prevent a Seller claiming any Relief (a Corresponding Adjustment Claim) to which it may be entitled as a result of any transfer pricing adjustment imposed (or sought to be imposed) by a Tax Authority on a Target Company (including under the provisions of section 174 of the Taxation (International and Other Provisions) Act 2010 or any competent authority or mutual agreement procedure available under the terms of any applicable double tax treaty) and the action which the Sellers may request under paragraph 3.2 may include requesting the Purchaser’s procuring that the Target Companies take such action as is reasonably necessary in relation to the Corresponding Adjustment Claim.

3.6 The Purchaser shall, and shall ensure that each member of the Purchaser’s Group and each Target Company shall, provide to the Sellers and their advisers such access to premises and personnel and to relevant assets, documents and records within the power or control of a member of the Purchaser’s Group or a Target Company as they may reasonably require for the purpose of investigating the Disputed Matter and enabling the Sellers to exercise their rights under this paragraph 3, provided that the Sellers shall reimburse to the Purchaser, each relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group and each relevant Target Company all reasonable cost and expenses properly incurred in connection with doing so.

Page 106

4. DUE DATE OF PAYMENT AND INTEREST

4.1 Where a claim under this Part of this Schedule relates to a liability of a Target Company to make or suffer an actual payment or increased payment of Tax or an amount on account of or in respect of Tax (a Tax Amount), each Seller shall pay to the Purchaser the amount for which that Seller is liable under this Part of this Schedule in respect of the Tax Amount on or before the date which is the later of the date ten (10) Business Days after demand is made therefor under this Part of this Schedule (such demand to include full details of the claim and the amount thereof) and the fifth Business Day prior to:

(a) in the case of a Tax Amount in respect of which there is no provision for payment by instalments, the latest date on which such Tax Amount can be paid to the relevant Tax Authority in order to avoid a liability to interest or penalties accruing; or

(b) in the case of a Tax Amount in respect of which there is provision for payment by instalments, each date on which an instalment of such Tax Amount becomes payable (and so that on each such date an appropriate proportion of the amount claimed shall be paid, such proportion to be notified by the Purchaser to both Sellers at least five (5)Business Days prior to each such date),

provided that, if the date on which the Tax Amount can be recovered is deferred following application to the appropriate Tax Authority and each Seller indemnifies and secures the Purchaser and the Target Company concerned in accordance with paragraph 3.3(a), the date for payment by each Seller shall be the earlier of the date on which the Tax Amount becomes recoverable by the relevant Tax Authority (notwithstanding any initial deferral) and such date when the Tax Amount is finally and conclusively determined. For this purpose, a Tax Amount shall be deemed to be finally determined when, in respect of such amount, an agreement under section 54 of the Taxes Management ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ or any legislative provision corresponding to that section (or any equivalent agreement under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom) is made, or a decision of a court or tribunal is given or any binding agreement or determination is made from which either no appeal lies or in respect of which no appeal is made within the prescribed time limit.

4.2 Where a claim under this Part of this Schedule relates to the loss or set off of a repayment of Tax, each Seller shall pay to the Purchaser the amount for which that Seller is liable under this Part of this Schedule in respect thereof on or before the date which is the later of the date ten (10) Business Days after demand is made therefor under this Part of this Schedule (such demand to include full details of the claim and the amount thereof) and the date when such repayment would have been due were it not for such loss or setting off.

4.3 Where a claim under this Part of this Schedule relates to the loss, use or set off of any Relief other than a repayment of Tax, each Seller shall pay to the Purchaser the amount for which that Seller is liable under this Part of this Schedule in respect thereof on or before the date which is the later of the date ten (10) Business Days after demand is made therefor under this Part of this Schedule (such demand to include full details of the claim and the amount thereof), and:

(a) in the case of a Relief which is used or set off:

(i) where the use or set off falls to be dealt with in paragraph (c) of the definition of Deemed Tax Liability, the date or dates referred to in paragraphs 4.1(a) and 4.1(b) which apply to the Displaced Tax Liability; and

Page 107

(ii) in any other case, the date or dates referred to in paragraphs 4.1(a) and 4.1(b) that would have applied to the Tax saved by the use or set off of the Relief if that Tax had been payable; or

4.6 For the avoidance of doubt, Clause 19.4 (Payments) shall apply to amounts not paid by the due date specified by this paragraph 4.

5. RECOVERY FROM THIRD PARTIES / TAX SAVINGS FOLLOWING A CLAIM

5.1 If a Seller’s liability to make a payment in respect of a Tax Liability under paragraph 1.1 has been discharged in full, and a member of the Purchaser’s Group or a Target Company recovers from any person other than a member of the Purchaser’s Group or a Target Company or any other member of the Purchaser’s Tax Group a payment in respect of the Tax Liability in question, then the Purchaser shall pay to the relevant Seller an amount equal to 50% of the amount so recovered (less the amount of any reasonable costs and expenses in obtaining such recovery, and net of any Tax payable on the amount recovered or that would have been payable but for the use or set off of any Purchaser’s Relief) to the extent that the payment to the relevant Seller (a) does not exceed the payment originally made in discharge of that Seller’s liability in respect of the relevant Tax Liability (net of any Tax suffered thereon and less any sum previously refunded to that Seller in respect of the relevant Tax Liability); (b) would not, after taking into account all payments made to the Purchaser in respect of the Sellers’ liability in respect of the relevant Tax Liability (net of any Tax suffered thereon and less any sums previously refunded to the Sellers in respect of the relevant Tax Liability) and any recovery referred to in this paragraph in respect of such Tax Liability (less the amount of any reasonable costs and expenses in obtaining such recovery, and net of any Tax payable on the amount recovered or that would have been payable but for the use or set off of any Purchaser’s Relief), leave the Purchaser’s Group (including for these purposes the Target Companies) with a total amount which is less than the amount of such Tax Liability, and (c) does not prejudice the right to such payment.

Page 108

5.2 The Purchaser shall procure that each relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group and each relevant Target Company shall, at the Sellers’ expense, use all reasonable endeavours to make such recovery as is referred to in paragraph 5.1.

5.3 Where:

(a) a Tax Liability of a Target Company has resulted in a Relief (including as a result of any timing difference, such as where a Tax Liability has arisen because an item of expenditure is not allowed as a deduction in a particular Accounting Period but a deduction which is referable to that expense is instead allowed in one or more subsequent Accounting Periods); and

(b) a Seller’s liability to make a payment in respect of that Tax Liability under paragraph 1.1 has been discharged in full,

the Purchaser shall procure that all reasonable endeavours are used to ensure that such Relief is used by the relevant Target Company or where applicable surrendered to another Target Company or a member of the Purchaser’s Group (provided that the relevant Relief shall not be required to be used in priority to any other Relief if doing so would, or would reasonably be expected to, prejudice the future availability of or ability to use such other Relief) and the Purchaser shall pay to each of the Sellers an amount equal to 50% of the amount that the Target Company or member of the Purchaser’s Group concerned saves by virtue of the use of the relevant Relief (less the amount of any reasonable costs and expenses in obtaining such saving) to the extent that the payment to each Seller (a) does not exceed the payment originally made in discharge of the relevant Seller’s liability in respect of the relevant Tax Liability (net of any Tax suffered thereon and less any sum previously refunded to that Seller in respect of such Tax Liability); (b) would not, after taking into account all payments made to the Purchaser in respect of the Sellers’ liability in respect of such Tax Liability (net of any Tax suffered thereon and less any sums previously refunded to the Sellers in respect of such Tax Liability) and the amount that the Target Company or member of the Purchaser’s Group concerned saves by virtue of the use of the relevant Relief (less the amount of any reasonable costs and expenses in obtaining such saving), leave the Purchaser’s Group (including for these purposes the Target Companies) with a total amount which is less than the amount of such Tax Liability and (c) does not prejudice the right to the relevant Relief.

5.4 Where the Purchaser or the Target Company concerned receives a Relief as referred to in paragraph 5.3, a payment shall not be made to the Sellers under that paragraph before the date on which the Tax that would have been payable but for the Relief would have become recoverable by the appropriate Tax Authority (taking account of other Reliefs available or that would otherwise have been available), and shall not be made to the extent that, but for the use of such Relief, the Target Company concerned would have had an Actual Tax Liability in respect of which the Purchaser would have been able to make a claim against the Sellers under this Part of this Schedule.

6. OVERPROVISIONS

6.1 The Sellers acting jointly may require the auditors for the time being of any relevant Target Company to certify, at the Sellers’ expense, the existence and amount of any Overprovision and the Purchaser shall provide, or procure that each Target Company provides, any information or assistance reasonably required for the purpose of production by the auditors of a certificate to that effect.

Any remaining excess in respect of that Seller shall be carried forward to offset any further payment that may become due from that Seller under this Schedule.

6.3 Either Seller or the Purchaser may, at its expense, require any certificate produced in accordance with paragraph 6.1 above to be reviewed by the auditors for the time being of any relevant Target Company in the event that there are relevant circumstances or facts of which it was not aware, and which were not taken into account, at the time when such certificate was produced, and to certify whether the certificate remains correct or whether it should be amended.

6.4 If following a request under paragraph 6.3 the certificate is amended, the revised amount of Overprovision shall be substituted for the purposes of paragraph 6.2 and any adjusting payment that is required shall be made forthwith.

6.5 No action may be required pursuant to this paragraph 6 after the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date.

The Purchaser shall take (or shall procure that the Target Company concerned takes) such action as the Sellers may reasonably request to obtain such Tax Refund (keeping the Sellers fully informed of the progress of any action taken and providing it with copies of all relevant correspondence and documentation).

8.2 The Purchaser covenants with each Seller to pay to that Seller an amount equivalent to any Tax or any amount on account of Tax which any member of that Seller’s Tax Group is required to pay as a result of a failure by any Target Company, or any other member of the Purchaser’s Tax Group, to discharge that Tax.

Page 110

(a) extend to any reasonable costs and expenses properly incurred in connection with such Tax or a successful claim under paragraph 8.1 or paragraph 8.2 as the case may be;

(b) (in the case of paragraph 8.2) not apply to Tax to the extent that the Purchaser could claim payment in respect of it under paragraph 1 (or would have been able to claim but for paragraphs 1 and 4 of Schedule 2 (Limitations on Sellers’ Liability)), except to the extent a payment has been made pursuant to paragraph 1 and the Tax to which it relates was not paid by the Target Company concerned; and

(c) not apply to Tax to the extent it has been recovered under any relevant statutory provision (and the Purchaser or either Seller as the case may be shall procure that no such recovery is sought to the extent that payment is made hereunder).

8.4 Paragraphs 3 and 4 shall apply to the covenants contained in paragraphs 8.1 and 8.2 as they apply to the covenants contained in paragraph 1, replacing references to “Sellers” or “Seller” with “Purchaser” where appropriate, and making any other necessary modifications (including omitting the words “each” and “50% of the amount of” from paragraph 3.3(a)).

(b) in applying each such definition and the provisions of Part A of this Schedule and determining which items and amounts are to be included in the Closing Statement, if and to the extent that the treatment or characterisation of the relevant item or amount or type or category of item or amount:

2. If any insured event occurs after the date of this Agreement but before Closing in relation to any tangible fixed asset of a Target Company which needs to be replaced or restored in order for the relevant business to continue to be conducted in the ordinary course, then, to the extent that a Target Company receives any cash proceeds or is entitled to a receivable under a policy in respect of that tangible fixed asset but the relevant fixed asset is not replaced or restored before Closing, any such cash proceeds shall be deducted from Cash and, any such receivable shall not be included in Working Capital and, accordingly, shall not be included in the Closing Statement.

Except for the matters specifically set out in the Objection Notice, the Sellers shall be deemed to have agreed to the draft Closing Statement in full.

Page 123

4. Where more than one adjustment arises from the same or similar subject matter, facts, events or circumstances, those adjustments may be aggregated and shall together be treated as an individual adjustment for this purpose.

5.

6. If the Sellers are satisfied with the draft Closing Statement (either as originally submitted or after adjustments agreed between the Sellers and the Purchaser pursuant to paragraph 5) or if the Sellers fail to give a valid Objection Notice within the 60 Business Days period referred to in paragraph 1, then the draft Closing Statement (incorporating any agreed adjustments) shall constitute the Closing Statement for the purposes of this Agreement.

7.

The Firm shall be requested to make its decision within 15 Business Days (or such later date as the Sellers, the Purchaser and the Firm agree in writing) of receipt of the submissions referred to in (a) and (b) below.

(b) following delivery of their respective submissions, the Purchaser and the Sellers, acting together and not alone, shall each have the opportunity to comment once only on the other’s submission by written comment delivered to the Firm not later than 15 Business Days after receipt of the other’s submission and, thereafter, neither the Sellers nor the Purchaser shall be entitled to make further statements or submissions except insofar as the Firm so requests (in which case it shall, on each occasion, give the other party (unless otherwise directed) 15 Business Days to respond to any statements or submission so made);

(c) in giving its determination, the Firm shall:

(i) apply the provisions of this Schedule 9 and Exhibit 5;

(ii) state what adjustments (if any) are necessary, solely for the purposes of this Agreement, to the draft Closing Statement in respect of the

Page 124

matters in dispute (and no others) in order to comply with the requirements of this Agreement and to determine finally the Closing Statement;

(iii) make its determination as soon as is reasonably practicable; and

(iv) make its determination within the range proposed by the Sellers on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other pursuant to this Part B of Schedule 9;

(d) the Firm shall act as an expert (and not as an arbitrator) in making its determination which shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and binding on the parties and, without prejudice to any other rights which they may respectively have under this Agreement, the parties expressly waive, to the extent permitted by law, any rights of recourse they may otherwise have to challenge it.

8. The Sellers, acting together and not alone, and the Purchaser shall each be responsible for their own costs in connection with the preparation, review and agreement or determination of the Closing Statement. The fees and expenses of the Firm shall be borne by the Sellers (jointly) and the Purchaser based upon the degree to which the Firm accepts the relative positions of those parties, as put forward in their respective submissions (for example, if the Sellers’ adjustment is 150, the Purchaser’s adjustment is 300 and the Expert determines the amount to be 200, one third (1/3) of the fees and expenses of the Firm shall be borne by the Sellers and two thirds (2/3) of the fees and expenses shall be borne by the Purchaser).

9. When the Closing Statement has been agreed or determined in accordance with the preceding paragraphs, then the amounts shown in the Closing Statement as the Working Capital, Capex, Debt and Cash shall be final and binding for the purposes of this Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, if or to the extent that Working Capital and Estimated Working Capital are negative numbers, greater than means less negative or a positive number; or

(b) if the Working Capital of the Target Companies is less than the Estimated Working Capital, then the Sellers acting together and not alone shall pay an amount equal to the difference to the Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt, if or to the extent that Working Capital and Estimated Working Capital are negative numbers, less than means more negative.

7. The Sellers, acting together and not alone, and the Purchaser agree that, once the Closing Statement has been agreed or determined in accordance with the provisions of Part B of this Schedule 9, the sums which each is respectively obliged to pay pursuant to this Part C shall be aggregated and set off against each other. Whichever of the Sellers or Purchaser is then left with any payment obligation under this Part C shall make the applicable payment(s) within 5 Business Days of the date on which the Closing Statement is agreed or so determined. Any such payment shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Clause 2.6, Clause 19.1 or 19.2 of this Agreement, as the case may be.

³  Prior to 23 December 2014 the Target Group owned 35% of Midland Communications Distribution Limited. The shares were held by the Company’s subsidiary, OPCS. On 23 December 2014 the Company purchased 364 ordinary £1 shares in Midland Communications Distribution Limited from OPCS (and, accordingly, is the beneficial owner of such shares) but the stock transfer form relating this acquisition has yet to be returned to the Company by the HMRC Stamping Office and as such the Company has yet to be entered into Midland Communications Distribution Limited’s register of members as the legal owner of 35% of Midland Communications Distribution Limited’s issued share capital.

Exhibit 5

Financial Adjustments

Part A: Closing Statement Format

I. Closing Statement and Estimated Closing Statement

The Closing Statement and the Estimated Closing Statement shall contain the Final Price calculation and the Initial Price calculation, respectively, as described below and shall comply with all conditions laid out in Schedule 9 and with Clause 2 of the Agreement.

II. Final Price and Initial Price

The numbers included in the worked example below are for illustrative purposes only, taken from Part C as at 31 December 2014 and have no bearing on the actual numbers to be used in the calculation of the Final Price and the Initial Price. However, subject always to Schedule 9 of the Agreement, which shall prevail, the principles set out below shall serve as binding guidance for the calculation of the Final Price and the Initial Price, respectively:

Currency: £ m						Dec14A
Debt Free/Cash Free Price							12,500
(a) subtracting the Debt							(2,540	)
(b) adding the Cash							433
(c) Difference between:
Working Capital			i				(1,059	)
Target Working Capital			ii				(850	)
Difference between Working Capital and Target Working Capital			= i - ii				(209	)
(e) Adding the Capex Adjustment							x / (x	)
Final Price							10,184

Currency: £ m						Dec14A
Debt Free/Cash Free Price							12,500

(d) Adding the Estimated Capex Adjustment							x / (x	)
Initial Price							xxx

Page 215

Part B: Calculation and amounts of Cash, Debt, Working Capital and Target Working Capital as well as Capex and Target Capex

I. Cash

The numbers included in the worked example below, taken from Part C, are for illustrative purposes only and have no bearing on the actual numbers to be used in the calculation of Cash. However, subject to Part C and VII below and subject always to Schedule 9 which shall prevail, the principles set out below shall serve as binding guidance for the calculation of Cash:

Currency: £ m		Dec14A
cash and cash equivalents			411
Arqiva and other rent prepayments			22
dividends receivable, including all interest accrued thereon			X
positive fair market value of interest rate derivative instruments*			X
Cash			433

* Including cross-currency interest rate swaps

Specific accounting treatments

In preparing the calculations set out above, the following specific accounting policies and practices shall be followed:

1. Dividends receivable, including all interest accrued thereon

In respect of the line item “dividends receivable, including all interest accrued thereon”, amounts shall be included in respect of dividends receivable including interest accrued thereon only to the extent cash has been received in respect of such balances prior to delivery of the Completion Statement in accordance with Part B of Schedule 9.

2. MBNL

For the avoidance of doubt, cash and cash equivalents include the proportionate share of relevant MBNL balances calculated in line with the Accounting Principles. All intercompany receivables and payable balances between MBNL and any Target Company which eliminate on consolidation under the Accounting Principles shall not be included in the definitions of Cash, Debt and Working Capital. Similarly, all intercompany receivables and payable balances between MBNL and Hutchison 3G which eliminate on consolidation under the Accounting Principles shall not be included in the definitions of Cash, Debt and Working Capital.

Page 216

II. Debt

The numbers included in the worked example below, taken from Part C, are for illustrative purposes only, and have no bearing on the actual numbers to be used in the calculation of Debt. However, subject to Part C and VII below, and subject always to Schedule 9 which shall prevail, the principles set out below shall serve as binding guidance for the calculation of Debt. All balances included in Financial Debt exclude capitalised debt issuance costs:

Currency: £ m		Dec14A
Interest bearing loans and borrowings			2,091
Accrued interest			34
Negative fair market value of interest rate derivative instruments*			19
Phones4U - Bill of exchange			45
Finance lease liability			6
Financial Debt			2,195
Corporate rent free liabilities			17
Retail rent free liabilities			7
Employee Incentive Liabilities			4
Dividends payable including interest accrued thereon			0
Vacant property provision			44
Vacant Retail Property > 18 months at 50% incremental provision			5
Onerous cell sites provision			19
Cell site decommissioning – non keep provision			18
Switch site decommissioning – non keep provision			14
Godiva provision			x
NIA provision			x
WEEE provision			x
Harlequin provision			x
Redundancy provision			x
BT NGN provision			x
Other TCP NGN Provision			x
Other debt-like current and other debt-like non-current provisions			0
Total specific Provisions			216
Debt			2,540

* Including cross-currency interest rate swaps

For the avoidance of doubt, Other debt-like current and other debt-like non-current provisions as of 31 December 2014 amounted to zero. For the calculation of the Closing Statement and subject to Section VII below, only new provisions which are not of a similar nature to those classified as “Others” in Part C shall be included in Debt.

Specific accounting treatments

In preparing the calculations set out above, the following specific accounting policies and practices shall be followed:

1. Onerous Lease Provisions

Vacant Retail Property > 18 months at 50% incremental provision: Provision for onerous lease costs in respect of Vacant Retail Properties shall be calculated in line with Accounting Principles and then shall be further adjusted as follows:

For those properties with greater than 18 months remaining on the lease at Closing, a further 50% of the discounted gross cost of the lease for the period beyond 18 months shall be provided for and included in Debt (“Vacant retail property > 18 months at 50% incremental provision”). For the avoidance of doubt such discounted gross cash cost shall be calculated in line with the Accounting Principles used in relation to lease provisions with less than 18 months remaining and include, rent, rates, utilities and other unavoidable costs associated with those properties and such liabilities shall not be reduced by any assumptions for sub-letting such properties.

Page 217

2. NGN

The provisions of Clause 10 of the Agreement shall apply to BT NGN Claims and the Other TCP NGN Claims.

To the extent that the BT NGN Claim or Other TCP NGN Claim has been settled and paid in full at Closing, no provision shall be required to be made in the above table. Otherwise, any agreed settlement amount which is outstanding shall be included as Debt.

3. MBNL

For the avoidance of doubt, should MBNL raise any external or third party Financial Debt, 50% of such balances at Closing shall be included in Debt.

All intercompany receivables and payable balances between MBNL and any Target Company which eliminate on consolidation under the Accounting Principles shall not be included in the definitions of Cash, Debt and Working Capital. Similarly, all intercompany receivables and payable balances between MBNL and Hutchison 3G which eliminate on consolidation under the Accounting Principles shall not be included in the definitions of Cash, Debt and Working Capital.

4. Employee Incentive Liabilities

When calculating the Employee Incentive Liabilities at Closing, such calculation shall include, if any, the liabilities arising from the vesting of any long-term incentive awards or payments, any bonuses that are linked to the completion of the transaction and any incentives or bonuses payable other than in the ordinary course, including in each case the associated employer’s National Insurance contributions costs (the NIC Costs).

For the avoidance of doubt, bonuses paid to employees under the ordinary course of business and associated NIC Costs are not Debt but classified in Working Capital.

III. Working Capital

The numbers included in the worked example below, taken from Part C, are for illustrative purposes only and have no bearing on the actual numbers to be used in the calculation of Working Capital. However, subject to Part C and VII below, and subject always to Schedule 9 which shall prevail, the principles set out below shall serve as binding guidance for the calculation of Working Capital:

Currency: £ m		Dec14A
Inventories			77
Trade receivables			763
Prepaid expenses			213
Other current assets			10
Current trade payables			(1,607	)
Regular Bonus			(17	)
Other employee benefits			(44	)
Negative fair market value of foreign exchange derivative instruments*			(10	)
Positive fair market value of foreign exchange derivative instruments*			2
Deferred income			(238	)
Other current liabilities			(207	)
Working Capital			(1,059	)

* Excluding cross-currency interest rate swaps

Page 218

For the avoidance of doubt, Capital Creditors is included within Working Capital. For the avoidance of doubt, the MBNL funding imbalance liability that arises on consolidation shall be included in Working Capital.

For the avoidance of doubt, items already included in Debt or Cash shall not be included in Working Capital.

IV. Target Working Capital

Target Working Capital has the meaning as defined in Schedule 10 Definitions, by reference to this exhibit.

V. Capex

Capex has the meaning as defined in Schedule 10 Definitions.

VI. Target Capex

Capex and Capex Adjustment have the meaning as defined in Schedule 10 Definitions. The Target Capex (which shall include the proportionate share of MBNL’s Capex) is as follows:

Maximum Target Capex is equal to the cumulative Target Capex increased by 1%.

Minimum Target Capex is equal to the cumulative Target Capex decreased by 1%.

Page 219

Example:

If Closing occurred on 31 December 2015 and Capex amounts to £ 600m, Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers £4m being the difference between the Capex (£600m) and the Maximum Target Capex (£ 596 m).

If Closing occurred on 31 December 2015 and Capex amounts to £ 594m, there is no Capex adjustment, the difference between Capex and Target Capex being less than 1%.

If Closing occurred on 31^st of December 2015 and Capex amounts to £ 586m, there is no Capex adjustment, the difference between Capex and Target Capex being less than 1%.

If Closing occurred on 31 December 2015 and Capex amounts to £ 580m, Sellers shall pay to the Purchaser £4m being the difference between the Capex (£580m) and the Minimum Target Capex (£584 m).

VII. Newly set up accounts and business transactions of a new type after 31 December 2014

If, during the period commencing on 1 January 2015 and Closing (both days inclusive), (i) new accounts have been set up which should have been included in the above, or (ii) business transactions of a new type have occurred which (x) should have caused the creation of a new account to be included above or (y) have been incorrectly recorded or incorrectly not recorded in the accounts above, any of this shall be reflected in the above based on their respective nature and content and applying the principles set forth above.
