LEAKAGE ESCROW RELEASE PROVISIONS

1. Definitions and Interpretation

1.1 Words and expressions defined in clause 1.1 of this Agreement shall (unless specifically defined in this Schedule 7) have the same meanings when used in this Schedule 7 and all provisions of this Agreement concerning matters of construction or interpretation shall, for the avoidance of doubt, apply to this Schedule 7.

1.2 In this Schedule 7, the following words and expressions shall have the following meanings:

“Determined” means, with respect to any Locked Box Claim, the earlier of:

(a) the date on which the Seller delivers notice to the Buyer of acceptance of the Locked Box Claim;

(b) the last day of the Review Period if the Seller has not notified the Buyer of an objection within such time; and

(c) the date on which any disputes between the Parties are resolved in accordance with paragraph 2.1 or paragraph 2.2 below;

“Expert” means an internationally recognised firm of accountants with expertise in the subject matter of the dispute claim in respect of Leakage approved by both the Seller and the Buyer; provided that if the Parties cannot agree on an Expert within 15 Business Days of request for an Expert by either Party, then either Party shall be entitled to request the President for the time being of the Law Society of England and Wales to appoint the Expert and to agree his terms of appointment on behalf of the Parties;

“Outstanding Leakage Claim” means a Locked Box Claim that has been notified by the Buyer to the Seller in accordance with clause 4.4(A) and which on the Leakage Claim Expiry Date:

(a) has not been agreed by the Seller and the Buyer;

(b) has not been withdrawn by the Buyer; and

1.3 For the purposes of this Schedule 7 any reference to “the money standing to the credit of the Leakage Escrow Account” (or any similar expression) shall be deemed to be a reference to the amount in such account at the relevant time after the addition of any accrued interest and the deduction of any accrued bank charges and any withholding by the bank on account of income tax.

2. Dispute Resolution Procedure

2.1 The Seller shall have thirty (30) days following delivery of notice by the Buyer of any Locked Box Claim (the “Review Period”) to review the Locked Box Claim and notify the Buyer of its acceptance thereof or of any objection thereto. If the Seller notifies the Buyer of any objection to the Locked Box Claim during the Review Period, the Parties shall attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith. Any disputes which are not resolved prior to the Leakage Claim Expiry Date shall be resolved by the dispute procedure set forth in paragraph 2.2 below

2.2 If the Parties are unable to resolve any dispute over one or more Locked Box Claims prior to the Leakage Claim Expiry Date, the Parties shall submit all Outstanding Leakage Claims to the Expert. The Seller and the Buyer shall each submit their determination of the amount of the Outstanding Leakage Claims (each, such Party’s “Claimed Amount”) and shall request that the Expert render its own determination of the Outstanding Leakage Claims within forty-five (45) days after its retention. The Seller and the Buyer shall cooperate fully with the Expert so as to enable it to make such determination as quickly and as accurately as practicable. The Expert’s determination as to the amount of the Outstanding Leakage Claims shall be in writing and shall be conclusive and binding upon all of the Parties. The fees of the Expert shall be borne by the Party that submitted a Claimed Amount that was not as close (in absolute numbers) to the final amount of the Outstanding Leakage Claims determined by the Expert as the other Party’s Claimed Amount.

3. Leakage Escrow Release

3.1 If there is a Locked Box Claim that has been notified by the Buyer to the Seller in accordance with clause 4.4(A) and that is Determined on or before the Leakage Claim Expiry Date, then the Seller and the Buyer shall promptly deliver joint written instructions to the Leakage Escrow Agent to release to the Buyer the amount Determined to be payable to the Buyer in respect of that claim within 5 Business Days of being Determined. If the money standing to the credit of the Leakage Escrow Account is not sufficient to cover any Locked Box Claim, the Seller shall pay the balance of the Locked Box Claim to the Buyer within 5 Business Days of such claim being Determined.

3.2 Subject to paragraph 3.1, on the Leakage Claim Expiry Date the balance standing to the credit of the Leakage Escrow Account in excess of the amount of any Outstanding Leakage Claims shall be paid from the Leakage Escrow Account to the Seller’s Bank Account.

3.3 With respect to any amounts retained in the Leakage Escrow Account in respect of any Outstanding Leakage Claim, upon resolution of any such Outstanding Leakage Claim, the Buyer and the Seller shall deliver joint written instructions to the Leakage Escrow Agent indicating the amount, if any, to be disbursed to the Buyer in respect of such claim and that the balance, if any, held in the Leakage Escrow Account in respect of such claim shall be disbursed to the Seller’s Bank Account.

3.4 Where applicable, the rate of exchange for all Locked Box Claims paid out of the Leakage Escrow Account shall be the Exchange Rate.
