1.6 To the extent any Agreed Claim(s) involves any Cash Outlay then the Claim shall be satisfied by the Sellers in the following manner:

(a) firstly, by the payment of cash up to an aggregate maximum of £100,000 plus the amount of any cash proceeds actually received by the Sellers pursuant to the Convertible Notes or any disposal (or otherwise) by the Sellers of any CVSL Shares; and

(b) to the extent that the amount of the Agreed Claim is not satisfied in whole or in part, by the payment of cash referred to in paragraph 1.6(a) above, and to the extent that there remains any principal amount outstanding to the Sellers under the Convertible Notes which is payable in cash, by a reduction in the principal amount of the Convertible Notes payable in cash equal to the aggregate amount of the Agreed Claim (or part thereof, if the cash payable under 1.6(a) is less than the value of the Agreed Claim); and

(c) to the extent that the amount of the Agreed Claim is not satisfied in whole or in part, by the payment of cash referred to in paragraph 1.6(a) or 1.6(b) above, to the extent that there remains any principal amount outstanding to the Sellers under the Convertible Notes, by a reduction in the principal amount of the Convertible Notes equal to the aggregate amount of the Agreed Claim (or part thereof, if the cash payable under 1.6(a) and the reduction in the amount of the Convertible Loan Notes under 1.6(b) is less than the value of the Agreed Claim); and

(d) to the extent that the amount of the Agreed Claims is not satisfied in whole or in part, by applying the provision of paragraphs 1.6(a), 1.6(b) or 1.6(c) above, and the Sellers hold CVSL Shares, by the cancellation of such number of CVSL Shares (at a deemed price per CVSL share equal to the Relevant CVSL Share Price) as is equal to the amount of the Agreed Claims (or part thereof after applying the provisions of paragraphs 1.6(a) , 1.6(b) and 1.6(c) above)

and for the avoidance of doubt, the Sellers shall have no further liability in respect of any Agreed Claim(s) following the application of the above paragraphs even if this does not satisfy in full the amount of the Agreed Claim(s).

1.7 The Sellers will be under no liability in respect of any Claim unless the Buyer has given to the Sellers written particulars of a Claim, setting out in detail the amount claimed and the reasons for the Claim; 1) in respect of any Tax Claim on or before the seventh anniversary of the Completion Date; and 2) for any other Claim on or before the second anniversary of the Completion Date.

55

1.8 The Sellers will not be liable in respect of any Claim (if not previously satisfied, settled or withdrawn) unless legal proceedings have been validly issued and served within 12 months of the Buyer serving the written particulars referred to in paragraph 1.7 or in the case of a liability referred to in paragraph 1.15, within 12 months of the date on which the liability becomes actual or (as the case may be) capable of being quantified.

1.9 Neither the Buyer nor any member of the Buyer’s Group will be entitled to recover damages, or obtain payment, reimbursement, restitution or indemnity more than once in respect of the same loss.

1.10 In calculating the liability of the Sellers in respect of any Claim there will be taken into account the amount by which any Taxation for which the Target Group is now or will be liable, is reduced or extinguished as a result of the matter giving rise to such liability.

1.11 Without prejudice to the duty of the Buyer to mitigate any loss in respect of any Claim, the liability of the Sellers for any Claim will be reduced or extinguished to the extent that any member of the Target Group actually recovers any loss or damage which is the subject of any loss or claim under any policy of insurance of the Target Group in place at Completion. The Buyer will procure that the relevant member of the Target Group will use its reasonable endeavours to recover any such claim from the insurers.

1.12 If the Buyer, or any member of the Target Group is at any time entitled to recover or otherwise claim reimbursement from a third party in respect of any matter or circumstances giving rise to a Claim the following provisions will apply:

(a) the Buyer will as soon as is reasonably practicable after becoming aware that it is entitled to, notify the Sellers in writing of such entitlement;

(b) the Buyer will if so required by the Sellers, and subject to payment of any expenses associated with so doing (or will procure that the Target or the relevant member of the Target Group will) use all reasonable endeavours to enforce such recovery or seek such reimbursement from the relevant third party;

(c) the liability of the Sellers in respect of the related Claim will be reduced by the amount inclusive of interest or repayment supplement (if any) actually recovered from the relevant third party (less all reasonable costs, charges and expenses and Taxation incurred or payable by the Buyer, or the Target or the relevant member of the Target Group in recovering that sum), or extinguished if the amount recovered exceeds the amount of the relevant Claim;

(d) if the Sellers make a payment to the Buyer in respect of a Claim and the Buyer, or the Target or any member of the Target Group subsequently recovers from a third party a sum which is referable to that Claim, the Buyer will promptly repay to the Sellers the lower of:

(i) the amount recovered from such third party (less all reasonable costs, charges, expenses and Taxation incurred or payable by the Buyer, or the Target or the relevant member of the Target Group in recovering that sum); and

(ii) the amount paid to the Buyer by the Sellers in respect of the relevant Claim.

1.13 The Sellers will not be liable in respect of any Claim to the extent that:

(a) an express allowance, provision or reserve for the matter or liability which would otherwise give rise to a Claim has been made in the Management Accounts;

56

(b) the Claim would not have arisen but for a change of accounting policy or practice of any member of the Target Group after the Completion Date, save to the extent such change is required by law or regulation.

1.14 The Sellers will not be liable in respect of any Claim to the extent that the liability arises or is increased as a result of any changes in legislation, regulation, or practice of any governmental, regulatory or other body made after the date of this agreement.

1.15 The Sellers will not be liable in respect of any Claim to the extent that the matter giving rise to the Claim constitutes a contingent liability of any member of the Target Group or relates to a liability which is not capable of being quantified, until such liability becomes an actual liability of a member of the Target Group or becomes capable of being quantified. This paragraph will not relieve the Buyer from any obligation to give notice under this schedule in respect of any matter which constitutes a contingent liability or relates to a liability which is not capable of being quantified.

1.16 The only Warranties given:

(a) in respect of the Property are those set out in paragraph 9 of Schedule 2, and the other Warranties will be deemed not to be given in relation to the Property;

(b) in respect of Taxation are the Tax Warranties, and the other Warranties will be deemed not to be given in relation to Taxation;

(c) in respect of environmental matters or pollution are those set out in paragraphs 10 and 11 of Schedule 2, and the other Warranties will be deemed not to be given in relation to environmental matters of pollution;

(d) in respect of Intellectual Property are those set out in paragraph 7 of Schedule 2, and the other Warranties will be deemed not to be given in relation to Intellectual Property; and

(e) in respect of the employees of a member of the Target Group and other employment matters are those set out in paragraph 5 of Schedule 2, and the other Warranties will be deemed not to be given in relation to the employees of a member of the Target Group and other employment matters.

1.17 Nothing in this paragraph 1 will derogate from the Buyer’s common law obligation to mitigate any loss which it suffers in consequence of a breach of the Warranties.

1.18 The Buyer or the relevant member of the Target Group will notify the Sellers within twenty (20) Business Days of the Buyer becoming aware of any facts which it is reasonably apparent could give rise to a Claim and shall notify each of the Sellers in writing specifying in reasonable detail to the extent then available the matter which gives rise, or is likely to give rise, to the Claim, the nature of the potential liability and, so far as is practicable, the likely amount of such Claim.

1.19 Any payment made by the Sellers in respect of any Claim will be deemed to be a reduction in the Consideration payable under clause 3 of this agreement.

57

2 Conduct of third party claims

2.1 In relation to any Claim or potential Claim which arises as a result of or in connection with, a claim by, or alleged liability to a third party, the Buyer will and will procure that the relevant member of the Target Group will:

(a) take such action and give such information and access to personnel, premises, documents and records to the Sellers and their duly authorised representatives and professional advisers as the Sellers may reasonably request in order to avoid, dispute, mitigate, settle, defend, compromise or appeal the matter(s) relating to the Claim or potential Claim (the matter in question) except where to do so would or might reasonably breach or endanger the Buyer’s legal privilege in any accounts, documents or records or be materially detrimental to the ongoing business of the Target Group;

(b) permit the Sellers and those representatives and advisers to make copies (at the Sellers’ cost) of those records and information;

(c) (at the Sellers’ cost) give the Sellers and those representatives and advisers any other information and assistance which any of them may reasonably require in connection with the matter in question;

(d) consult with the Sellers as soon as reasonably practical with regard to any actual or proposed developments relating to the matter in question and provide the Sellers with copies of all correspondence and documents in relation to that matter and (on request from time to time) a status report with regard to the matter; and

(e) make no admission of liability, agreement, settlement or compromise with any third party in relation to the matter in question without the prior written consent of the Sellers such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

2.2 The Sellers will indemnify the Buyer in respect of all costs, charges and expenses that are reasonably and properly incurred by the Buyer (or any member of the Target Group) as a consequence of any actions taken at the request of the Sellers in accordance with paragraph 2.1(a) or paragraph 2.1(d).

(d) such Tax Liability would not have arisen but for a voluntary transaction, action or omission carried out or effected by any member of the Buyer’s Group (and in the case of the Target outside the ordinary course of its business) at any time after Completion where such member was aware or should reasonably have been aware could give rise to the Tax Liability in question, except that this exclusion shall not apply where such transaction, action or omission:

(i) is required by any legislation or other statutory requirement; or

(ii) is carried out or effected pursuant to a disclosed and legally binding obligation of the Target entered into on or before Completion; or

(g) such Tax Liability would not have arisen but for:

(i) the failure by or omission of the Target after Completion (other than at the written request, direction or otherwise with the written approval, of the Sellers) to make any such valid claim, election, surrender or disclaimer or to give any notice or consent the making, giving or doing of which was permitted by law and is taken into account in computing the provision for Tax in the Management Accounts and which is disclosed in writing in sufficient detail

(iii) any failure by the Buyer to comply with its obligations under paragraph 1 of part 3 but only to the extent such failure gives rises to a liability to any fine, penalty, interest and/or surcharge; or

(iv) the Target ceasing to carry on any trade or business after Completion or effecting a major change wholly after Completion in the nature or conduct of any trade or businesses carried on by it at Completion; or

(h) it arises as a result of an Event in the ordinary course of business of the Target since the Management Accounts Date; or

(ii) pays any income tax or national insurance contributions on behalf of any employee due from that employee through self-assessment.

Part 2 - Credit Mechanisms

1. Rebate

5.1 If the Buyer becomes aware that the Target is entitled to receive from any person (other than any member of the Buyer's Group, any of the current officers or employees of the Target (unless pursuant to a contractual entitlement existing at Completion), or the Sellers or any of them), a payment which would not have been made but for any Actual Tax Liability in respect of which the Sellers have made, or are liable to make, a payment under the Tax Covenant or in respect of the Tax Warranties it shall:

(a) inform the Sellers of that entitlement; and

(b) subject to the Buyer and the Target first being indemnified to the Buyer's reasonable satisfaction by the Sellers against all losses, liabilities (including any additional Tax Liability), interest, reasonable costs, damages and reasonable third party expenses which may thereby be incurred, procure that the Target shall take all reasonably appropriate steps (if requested in writing to do so by the Sellers) to receive such payment provided that neither the Buyer nor the Target shall be required to take any action which would reasonably be expected to materially damage any of the Target's commercial relationships with a customer or supplier.

5.2 If the Sellers make any such request as is referred to in paragraph 1.1(b) and the Target actually receives a payment as is referred to in paragraph 1.1 then:

(a) in a case where the Sellers have already discharged their liability under the Tax Covenant or in respect of the Tax Warranties in respect of the Actual Tax Liability referred to in paragraph 1.1, the Buyer shall repay to the Sellers a sum equal to the lesser of:

(i) the amount of any payment so received, after deduction there from of an amount equal to any reasonable third party costs, fees and expenses incurred in obtaining it (and not previously reimbursed by the Sellers to the Buyer) and any Tax Liability incurred in respect of it; and

(ii) the amount paid by the Sellers under the Tax Covenant or in respect of the Tax Warranties in respect of the Actual Tax Liability in question; and

(b) in a case where the Sellers have not already discharged their liability under the Tax Covenant or in respect of the Tax Warranties in respect of the Actual Tax Liability referred to in paragraph 1.1, an amount equal to the amount referred to in paragraph 1.2(a)(i) shall be set off against the Sellers' liability.

2. Over provisions

2.1 The Buyer shall at the written request of the Sellers, and at the Seller’s cost, require the auditors of the Target (Auditors) to determine (as experts and not as arbitrators and at the sole expense of the Sellers) whether:

(a) any provision for Taxation (not being a provision for deferred tax) in the Management Accounts has proved to be an over-provision (other than in consequence of an Event occurring after Completion or the set off or utilisation of any Buyer’s Relief) and, if so, the amount of the over-provision;

(b) any right to a repayment of Taxation treated as an asset in the Management Accounts has proved to be understated and if so its amount or, where no right to repayment of Taxation was treated as an asset in the Management Accounts, whether any such amount should have been treated as an asset in Management Accounts and if so the amount.

If the Auditors determine that there has proved to be such an over-provision or understatement, the amount of such over-provision or understatement (as the case may be) shall be dealt with in accordance with paragraph 2.2.

67

2.2 Where it is provided under paragraph 2.1 that any amount is to be dealt with in accordance with this paragraph:

a. the amount shall first be set off against any payment then due from the Sellers under the Tax Covenant or in respect of the Tax Warranties;

b. to the extent there is an excess, a refund shall be made to the Sellers of any previous payment made by the Sellers under the Tax Covenant or in respect of the Tax Warranties and not previously refunded under this paragraph 2 up to the amount of such excess; and

c. to the extent that the excess referred to in paragraph 2.2(b) is not exhausted thereunder, the remainder of that excess shall be carried forward and set off against any future payment which becomes due from the Sellers under the Tax Covenant or in respect of the Tax Warranties.

2.3 Where such determination by the Auditors as is mentioned in paragraph 2.1 has been made, the Sellers or the Buyer may request the Auditors to review such determination (at the expense of the person making the request) in the light of all relevant circumstances, including any facts which have become known since such determination, and to determine whether such determination remains correct or whether, in the light of those circumstances, the amount that was the subject of such determination should be amended.

2.4 If the Auditors determine under paragraph 2.3 that an amount previously determined should be amended, that amended amount shall be substituted for the purposes of paragraph 2.1, in place of the amount originally determined and such adjusting payment (if any) as may be required by virtue of such substitution shall forthwith be made by the Sellers to the Buyer or, as the case may be, by the Buyer to the Sellers.

3. Windfall

3.1 The Buyer shall at the written request of the Sellers require the Auditors to determine (as experts and not as arbitrators and at the sole expense of the Sellers) whether any Tax Liability which has resulted in any sum having been paid by the Sellers under the Tax Covenant or in respect of the Tax Warranties (such sum being the Relevant Amount), has given rise to a relief which is not an Accounts Relief and which would not otherwise have arisen (Windfall Relief) and a liability of the Target to make an actual payment of Tax (not being a Relevant Tax Liability) has been satisfied or avoided by the use of that Windfall Relief and, if the Auditors so determine, the lesser of the amount by which that liability has been satisfied or avoided and the Relevant Amount, shall be dealt with in accordance with paragraph 3.2.

3.2 Where it is provided under paragraph 3.1 that any amount is to be dealt with in accordance with this paragraph 3.2:

(a) the amount shall first be set off against any payment then due from the Sellers under the Tax Covenant or in respect of the Tax Warranties;

(b) to the extent there is an excess, a refund shall be made to the Sellers of any previous payment made by the Sellers under the Tax Covenant or in respect of the Tax Warranties and not previously refunded under this paragraph 3 up to the amount of such excess; and

(c) to the extent that the excess referred to in paragraph 3.2(b) is not exhausted thereunder, the remainder of that excess shall be carried forward and set off against any future payment which becomes due from the Sellers under the Tax Covenant or in respect of the Tax Warranties.

68

4. Buyer's Covenant

4.1 The Buyer covenants with each Seller to pay to that Seller an amount equivalent to any Actual Tax Liability of that Seller at any time after Completion where such Actual Tax Liability arises, as a result of a failure by any member of the Buyer’s Group after Completion to discharge an Actual Tax Liability and for which it is primarily liable.

4.2 The covenant contained in paragraph 4.1 shall:

(a) extend to any reasonable costs properly incurred by the relevant Seller in making any claim under paragraph 4.1 in connection with the relevant Tax or a claim under paragraph 4.1;

(b) not apply to Tax to the extent the Buyer could claim payment in respect of it under paragraph 2 of Part 1 (or would have been able to claim but for the provisions of paragraph 3.2 of Part 1, except to the extent a payment has been made pursuant to paragraph 2 of part 1 and the Tax to which it relates was not paid to the relevant Tax Authority by the Target concerned);

(c) not apply unless the Sellers undertake (in a form reasonably satisfactory of the Buyer) not to seek to make any recovery (other than pursuant to paragraph 4.1) from the Buyer or any member of the Buyer's Group in respect of the Tax referred to therein.

4.3 Paragraph 4 of part 1 (due date of payment) and paragraph 1 of part 3 (conduct of claims) shall apply to the covenant contained in paragraph 4.1 as they apply to the covenants contained in paragraph 2 of part 1, replacing reference to the Sellers by the Buyer where appropriate and vice versa, and making any other necessary modification.

5. General

5.1 A relief, recovery, overprovision or saving shall not be taken into account in computing (and so reducing or eliminating) any liability of the Sellers under the Tax Covenant or in respect of any Warranty or in computing the amount of any payment due to the Sellers under any of paragraphs 1, 2, or 3 to the extent that it has previously been so taken into account (whether pursuant to any of paragraphs 3 of part 1 or paragraphs 1, 2 or 3 of this part, in computing any damages for breach of any Warranty, in computing any payment under the Tax Covenant or otherwise).

69

Part 3 - Procedure

1. Conduct of claims

1.1 If any member of the Buyer’s Group shall become aware of any Demand which will or could give rise to a liability of the Sellers under the Tax Covenant or in respect of the Tax Warranties the Buyer shall, but not as a condition precedent to the liability of the Sellers under the Tax Covenant or in respect of the Tax Warranties, give written notice thereof to the Sellers. The Buyer shall give such notice to the Sellers as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any event, where a statutory or other time limit is applicable for responding to or appealing against the Demand or to any assessment, notice, demand or other document issued (or deemed to be issued) or action taken which constitutes a Demand, the Buyer shall give written notice of the Demand to the Sellers at least 14 days prior to the expiry of such time limit. Such written notice shall, where possible, include an estimate of the liability of the Sellers under the Tax Covenant or in respect of the Tax Warranties in respect of such Demand, the basis of calculation of that estimate and such details of the Demand as are then available to the Buyer or the Target.

1.2 The Buyer shall procure that the Target shall take such action which it shall be reasonable for the Target to take and which the Sellers may by written notice given to the Buyer reasonably request to dispute, resist, appeal against, compromise or defend a Demand (any such action being an Action), provided always that:

(a) in each case, the Buyer and the Target shall be first indemnified to the Buyer's satisfaction by the Sellers against the Taxation which is the subject of the Demand and all losses (including any additional Tax Liability), interest, reasonable third party costs, damages, liabilities and reasonable expenses which may be incurred by the Buyer or the Target as a result of, or in taking the Action;

(b) if:

(i) on the expiry of a period of 15 Business Days commencing on the date of any notice given by the Buyer to the Sellers pursuant to paragraph 1.1, the Sellers shall not have given to the Buyer written notice pursuant to this paragraph 1.2 requesting any Action to be taken; or

(ii) within that period the Sellers shall not have provided the indemnity required in accordance with paragraph 1.2(a); or

(iii) at any time after the Sellers have given to the Buyer written notice pursuant to this paragraph 1.2 requesting any Action to be taken, the Buyer gives written notice to the Sellers requiring the Sellers to clarify, or to give details, instructions and/or information in relation to, any steps or actions required by the Sellers in relation to, the Action (or any aspect thereof), the Sellers have failed to provide such clarification, details, instructions and/or information within 10 Business Days of the date of any such notice given by the Buyer to the Sellers,

the Buyer and the Target shall be entitled to deal with the Demand on such terms as they shall in their reasonable discretion think fit;

(c) the Buyer and the Target shall not be obliged to comply with any request of the Sellers which involves appealing, or otherwise taking any action in respect of, any Demand before any tribunal, court or any other appellate body (or contesting any determination in respect of any Demand by any tribunal, court or other appellate body) unless tax counsel of at least ten years call instructed by agreement between the Buyer and the Sellers (at the sole expense of the Sellers) and after full disclosure of all relevant information and documents advises in writing that such appeal is worth contesting;

(d) the Buyer shall not be obliged to take any Action in relation to a Demand where any Tax Authority alleges the Sellers have been involved in fraudulent conduct or prior to Completion, alleges the Target has been involved in such conduct;

(e) if prior to, or as a condition of, taking an Action, the Target is obliged to pay to, or lodge with, any Tax Authority or other third party any Taxation (and/or any other amount) the subject of the Demand (whether in whole or in part) (any such amount being the Payment) neither the Buyer nor the Target

70

shall be obliged to take any such Action unless and until the Sellers pay to the Buyer an amount equal to the Payment. Within 5 Business Days of receipt of any such amount from the Sellers, the Buyer shall procure that the Target makes the Payment to the relevant Tax Authority or third party. If the Payment (or any part thereof) is repaid to the Target by the Taxation Authority or third party, the Buyer shall, within 5 Business Days of such repayment, pay to the Sellers an amount equal to the repayment (after deduction there from an amount equal to any reasonable third party costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Target in obtaining the repayment, any amount which the Sellers are liable to pay (but have not paid) to the Buyer pursuant to the indemnity referred to in paragraph 1.2(a) and any Tax Liability incurred in respect of the repayment).

1.3 Subject to paragraph 1.2 the Buyer hereby undertakes to the Sellers that, in relation to any Action it shall:

1.3.1 keep the Sellers informed of all material matters relating to the Action and deliver to the Sellers copies of all material documents and correspondence relating to the Action;

1.3.2 obtain the prior written approval of the Sellers (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the content and sending of written communications relating to the Action to a Tax Authority; and

1.3.3 obtain the prior written approval of the Sellers (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to:

1.3.3.1 the settlement or compromise of the Demand which is the subject of the Action; and

1.3.3.2 the agreement of any matter in the conduct of the Action which is likely to affect the amount of the Demand.

1.4 If there is a dispute between the Sellers and the Buyer as to whether or not any action requested by the Sellers under paragraph 1.2 is reasonable and the dispute is not resolved between the Sellers and the Buyer, such dispute shall be referred for determination to an independent member of the Chartered Institute of Taxation or to an independent accountant specialising in Tax matters, in either case, of at least 10 years' experience, appointed by agreement between the Sellers and the Buyer or (if they do not agree) upon the application made by either party to the President, for the time being, of the Chartered Institute of Taxation who shall also be authorised to determine how the costs of obtaining his opinion should be allocated between the parties hereto.
