Page 25

(b) Should the Seller dispute that the Target EBITDA will not be achieved, it may conduct its own investigation at its own cost but shall not be obliged to do so, using such experts as it thinks fit to investigate and/or advise in the matter (Seller’s Representatives), who will meet with representatives of the Company and the Buyer to conduct a high level assessment as to whether the Target EBITDA will be achieved.

(c) The Company and Buyers must provide the Seller with a certified copy of the Company's audited financial statements within 5 (five) Business Days of the date of finalisation of the Company's audit as performed following the Second Instalment Date.
