3 Consideration

3.1 Amount

3.1.1 The total consideration for the purchase of the Shares under this Agreement shall be Euro 225,000,000.00 minus the Financing Agreements Amount and subject to the adjustments pursuant to Clause 3.2 (the “Purchase Price”).

3.1.2 Subject to the adjustment pursuant to Clause 3.2, the Purchase Price shall be allocated in accordance with Schedule 9 (the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule), which Schedule shall be agreed by the Parties acting reasonably prior to the Completion Date. No Party shall take a position inconsistent with such allocation on any Tax return (unless otherwise required by a final, non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction or a binding closing agreement entered into with a Taxation Authority). At Completion, the Purchaser shall deliver an amount equal to the Purchase Price to Elex, as agent for the Sellers, by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the wire transfer instructions provided by Elex in writing no later than 5 Business Days prior to the Completion Date.

3.1.3 At Completion, the Purchaser shall pay or procure the payment of the Financing Agreements Amount (other than a portion thereof equal to the Net Intercompany Amount) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account or bank accounts of the lenders under the Financing Agreements in accordance with the directions set out in Clause 6.5.

3.1.4 At Completion: (i) the Purchaser shall pay the Net Intercompany Amount to Elex; (ii) Elex shall pay the Net Intercompany Amount to SN NV in full satisfaction of the Intercompany Receivables which are outstanding after the netting out set out in Clause 2.4.2; and (iii) SN NV shall pay the Net Intercompany Amount to creditors under the Financing Agreements towards repayment of a portion of the Financing Agreements Amount.

3.2 Working capital adjustment

3.2.1 Within 65 Business Days following the Completion Date, the Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Elex (i) a statement (the “Preliminary Working Capital Statement”) setting forth a calculation of the Net Working Capital (the “Preliminary Net Working Capital”‘) as of the Effective Time, and (ii) a calculation of the amount due and owing and a statement setting forth the responsible party therefor in accordance with this Clause 3.2. The “Final Net Working Capital” shall be the Preliminary Net Working Capital shown on the Preliminary Working Capital Statement, as modified pursuant to this Clause 3.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in no event shall the calculation of the Final Net Working Capital be affected by any purchase accounting adjustments for transactions taking place on or after the Completion Date.

3.2.2 Unless Elex notifies Purchaser in writing that the Sellers disagree with any aspect of the Preliminary Working Capital Statement (such notice to include the Sellers’ objections, a reasonable description of the basis therefor and reasonably detailed proposed revisions to said documents) (the “Objection Notice”), within 20 Business Days after receipt thereof, the Preliminary Working Capital Statement shall be

21

conclusive and binding on the Parties and shall constitute the Final Net Working Capital. If Elex so notifies Purchaser in writing within such 20 Business Day period, then Elex and the Purchaser shall attempt to resolve their differences with respect thereto within 20 Business Days after the Purchaser’s receipt of Elex’s Objection Notice. If Elex and Purchaser resolve their differences with respect to the Preliminary Working Capital Statement within such 20 Business Day period, then the Preliminary Working Capital Statement, with such modifications necessary to reflect such agreement of Elex and the Purchaser, shall be conclusive and binding on the parties and shall constitute the Final Net Working Capital. Any disputes not resolved by Elex and Purchaser within such 20 Business Day period regarding the Preliminary Working Capital Statement (the “Disputed Amount”) will be resolved by an Independent Accounting Firm jointly retained by Elex and the Purchaser. The Independent Accounting Firm shall make a determination only on the Disputed Amount as well as such modifications, if any, to the Preliminary Working Capital Statement necessary to reflect such determination, and the same shall thereafter be conclusive and binding upon the Parties, except as provided by applicable law. The determination of the Independent Accounting Firm for any item in dispute cannot, however, be in excess of, nor less than, the greatest or lowest value, respectively, claimed for that particular item in the Preliminary Working Capital Statement, in the case of Purchaser, or in the Objection Notice, in the case of Elex. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be paid by the Parties as follows: Elex shall pay a percentage of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm equal to: (i) the difference, if any, between Elex’s estimated value of the Final Net Working Capital as submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm and the Independent Accounting Firm’s final determination of Final Net Working Capital divided by (ii) the Disputed Amount. The Purchaser shall pay the remaining percentage, if any, of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm, (it being understood that in the event the Final Net Working Capital is equal to the Preliminary Net Working Capital determined by a Party (as submitted to arbitration by such Party), the other party shall pay all fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm). The Independent Accounting Firm shall be instructed to render its decision in accordance with the terms hereof, including the Specified Accounting Policies.

3.2.3 In connection with Elex’s review of the Preliminary Working Capital Statement and preparation of any Objection Notice, Elex and its representatives shall have reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance written notice, to the Books and Records, the financial systems and finance personnel and any other information of the Sensor-Nite Group Companies that Elex reasonably requests, including all relevant work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents prepared by the Purchaser’s accountants and other advisors (subject to customary indemnification and other agreements that may be requested by the Purchaser’s accountants and other advisors) in connection with the Purchaser’s preparation of the Preliminary Working Capital Statement, and the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Sensor-Nite Group Companies to, cooperate reasonably with Elex and its representatives in connection therewith.

3.2.4 In connection with the preparation of the Preliminary Working Capital Statement and the Purchaser’s review of any Objection Notice, the Purchaser and its representatives shall have reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon

22

reasonable advance written notice, to the Books and Records, the financial systems and finance personnel and any other information of the Sellers’ group, including all relevant work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents prepared by the Sellers or their accountants and other advisors (subject to customary indemnification and other agreements that may be requested by the Sellers’ accountants and other advisors) and to finance personnel of the Sellers and their representatives and any other information which the Purchaser reasonably requests, and the Sellers shall cooperate reasonably with the Purchaser and its representatives in connection therewith.

3.2.5 No later than 20 Business Days after the engagement of the Independent Accounting Firm, as evidenced by its written acceptance by facsimile or otherwise to the Parties, each of Elex and the Purchaser shall submit a brief to the Independent Accounting Firm (with a copy to the other party) setting forth their respective positions regarding the issues in dispute. No later than 20 Business Days after submission of the initial brief, each of Elex and Purchaser shall submit a reply brief (with a copy to the other party). The Independent Accounting Firm shall render its decision resolving the dispute within 30 Business Days after submission of the last reply brief. If additional briefing, a hearing, or other information is required by the Independent Accounting Firm, the Independent Accounting Firm shall give notice thereof to the Parties as soon as practicable before the expiration of such 30 Business Day period, and the Parties shall promptly respond with a view to minimising any delay in the decision date.

3.2.6 In the event that the Final Net Working Capital exceeds the Targeted Net Working Capital, the Purchaser shall owe to the Sellers the amount of such excess. In the event that the Final Net Working Capital is less than the Targeted Net Working Capital, the Sellers shall owe to the Purchaser the amount of such deficit.

3.2.7 The Sellers or the Purchaser, as the case may be, shall deposit the amounts, if any, owed by them, as the case may be, under sub-clause 3.2.6, together with interest thereon from the Completion Date to the date of payment at a rate of 1.3% per annum, in immediately available funds, to a bank account designated by the other party no later than 5 Business Days after the Final Net Working Capital has been agreed to or deemed to be agreed to by Elex and the Purchaser or has been delivered by the Independent Accounting Firm.

3.2.8 Within 30 Business Days following the determination of any excess or deficit in accordance with this Clause 3.2, the Sellers and the Purchaser shall revise the purchase price allocation to reflect such excess, deficit or payment in accordance with the nature of each relevant excess, deficit or payment, consistent with the proportional allocation of value as described in Schedule 9 (the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule).

3.3 Reduction of consideration

If any payment is to be made by any Seller to the Purchaser in respect of any claim for breach of this Agreement, the payment shall be made by way of adjustment of the consideration paid by the Purchaser for the Shares under this Agreement, which shall be deemed to have been reduced by the amount of such payment.

23

(h) an amount equal to any and all Losses incurred directly or indirectly by the Purchaser or its Affiliates, any Sensor-Nite Group Company or any of their respective directors, officers and employees as a result of or in connection with any Liability or increased Liability (as the case may be) referred to in Clauses 7.6(a) to 7.6(g) above.

7.7 Waiver of claims

7.7.1 Except in the case of fraud, the Sellers undertake to waive any rights, remedies or claims which any of them may have in respect of misrepresentation or inaccuracy in, or omission from, any information or advice supplied or given by any Sensor-Nite Group Company or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents in connection with the giving of any Warranty, the making of any representation, the preparation of the Disclosure Letter or otherwise in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement.

7.8 Awareness of Matters

The fact that relevant facts, matters or circumstances in relation to any Liability or matter arising under or set out in Clause 7.6, Clause 7.10 or Schedule 6 (Tax Indemnity) hereto (including any matter that has been disclosed in the Disclosure Letter or otherwise, except with respect to Clauses 7.6(a) and 7.6(b) concerning the Warranties to the extent expressly provided in Clause 7.2) were known to, or could have been discovered by, the Purchaser or its advisers or agents on or before the date of this Agreement shall not in any way (i) limit or modify the Sellers’ Liability

30

under Clause 7.6, Clause 7.10 or Schedule 6 (Tax Indemnity) hereto, nor prevent the Purchaser from making any claim in relation to, or reduce the amount recoverable by the Purchaser in connection with, Clause 7.6, Clause 7.10 or Schedule 6 (Tax Indemnity) hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties hereby acknowledge and confirm that none of the matters referred to in Clause 7.6, Clause 7.10 or Schedule 6 (Tax Indemnity) hereto has been taken into account in determining the Purchase Price.

7.9 Applicability of Warranties and Indemnities

If any action or omission would constitute or give rise to a breach of a Warranty hereunder, or an obligation under Clause 7.6, Clause 7.10 or under Schedule 6 (Tax Indemnity) hereto, but for the fact that such action was undertaken or such omission made not by a Sensor-Nite Group Company but by an entity which has directly or indirectly transferred assets and/or operations to a Sensor-Nite Group Company, including as part of any corporate restructuring prior to the Completion Date, then such action or omission shall nonetheless be deemed to constitute or give rise to a breach of such Warranty hereunder, or an obligation under Clause 7.6, under Clause 7.10 or under Schedule 6 (Tax Indemnity) hereto, in each case in the same manner as if such action were undertaken or such omission made by such Sensor-Nite Group Company.

7.10 Pension Underfunding Amount

7.10.1 Within 65 Business Days following the Completion Date, the Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Elex (i) a statement (the “Preliminary Pension Underfunding Statement”) setting forth a calculation of the Pension Underfunding as of the close of business on the Completion Date (the “Preliminary Pension Underfunding Amount”). The “Final Pension Underfunding Amount” shall be the Preliminary Pension Underfunding Amount shown on the Preliminary Pension Underfunding Statement, as modified pursuant to this Clause 7.10.

7.10.2 Unless Elex notifies the Purchaser in writing that the Sellers disagree with any aspect of the Preliminary Pension Underfunding Statement (such notice to include the Sellers’ objections, a reasonable description of the basis therefor and reasonably detailed proposed revisions to the Preliminary Pension Underfunding Statement) (the “Underfunding Objection Notice”), within 20 Business Days after receipt thereof, the Preliminary Pension Underfunding Statement shall be conclusive and the Preliminary Pension Underfunding Amount shall be the Final Pension Underfunding Amount. If Elex so notifies the Purchaser in writing within such 20 Business Day period, then Elex and the Purchaser shall attempt to resolve their differences with respect thereto within 20 Business Days after the Purchaser’s receipt of Elex’s Underfunding Objection Notice. If Elex and the Purchaser resolve their differences with respect to the Preliminary Pension Underfunding Statement within such 20 Business Day period, then the Preliminary Pension Underfunding Statement, with such modifications necessary to reflect such agreement of Elex and the Purchaser (the “Amended Preliminary Pension Underfunding Statement”), shall be conclusive and binding on the parties and the Preliminary Pension Underfunding Amount, as shown in the Amended Preliminary Pension Underfunding Statement, shall constitute the Final Pension Underfunding Amount. Any disputes not resolved by Elex and the Purchaser within such 20 Business Day period regarding the

31

Preliminary Pension Underfunding Statement (the “Underfunding Disputed Amount”) will be resolved by an Independent Pensions Expert. The Independent Pensions Expert shall make a determination only on the Underfunding Disputed Amount as well as such modifications, if any, to the Preliminary Pension Underfunding Statement necessary to reflect such determination, and the same shall thereafter be conclusive and binding upon the Parties, except as provided by applicable law. The determination of the Independent Pensions Expert for the Final Pension Underfunding Amount cannot be higher than the Preliminary Pension Underfunding Amount as set out in the Preliminary Pension Underfunding Statement, or lower than the corresponding amount set out in the Underfunding Objection Notice. The fees and expenses of the Independent Pensions Expert shall be paid by the Parties as follows: Elex shall pay a percentage of the fees and expenses of the Independent Pensions Expert equal to: (i) the difference, if any, between Elex’s estimated value of the Final Pension Underfunding Amount as submitted to the Independent Pensions Expert and the Independent Pensions Expert’s final determination of Final Pension Underfunding Amount divided by (ii) the Underfunding Disputed Amount. The Purchaser shall pay the remaining percentage, if any, of the fees and expenses of the Independent Pensions Expert, (it being understood that in the event the Final Pension Underfunding Amount is equal to the Preliminary Pension Underfunding Amount determined by a Party (as submitted to arbitration by such Party), the other party shall pay all fees and expenses of the Independent Pensions Expert). The Independent Pensions Expert shall be instructed to render its decision in accordance with the terms hereof, including the Specified Pensions Policies.

7.10.3 In connection with Elex’s review of the Preliminary Pension Underfunding Statement and preparation of any Underfunding Objection Notice, Elex and its representatives shall have reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance written notice, to the Books and Records and any pension documentation, record or information of the Sensor-Nite Group Companies that Elex reasonably requests, including all relevant work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents prepared by the Purchaser’s advisors (subject to customary indemnification and other agreements that may be requested by the Purchaser’s advisors) in connection with the Purchaser’s preparation of the Preliminary Pension Underfunding Statement, and the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Sensor-Nite Group Companies to, cooperate reasonably with Elex and its representatives in connection therewith.

7.10.4 In connection with the preparation of the Preliminary Pension Underfunding Statement and the Purchaser’s review of any Underfunding Objection Notice, the Purchaser and its representatives shall have reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance written notice, to the Books and Records any other pension documentation, record or information of the Sellers’ group, including all relevant work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents prepared by the Sellers or their advisors or third-party insurance providers (subject to customary indemnification and other agreements that may be requested by the Sellers’ advisors or third-party insurance providers) and any other information which the Purchaser reasonably requests, and the Sellers shall cooperate reasonably with the Purchaser and its representatives in connection therewith.

32

7.10.5 No later than 20 Business Days after the engagement of the Independent Pensions Expert, as evidenced by its written acceptance by facsimile or otherwise to the Parties, each of Elex and the Purchaser shall submit a brief to the Independent Pensions Expert (with a copy to the other party) setting forth their respective positions regarding the issues in dispute. No later than 20 Business Days after submission of the initial brief, each of Elex and the Purchaser shall submit a reply brief (with a copy to the other party). The Independent Pensions Expert shall render its decision resolving the dispute within 30 Business Days after submission of the last reply brief. If additional briefing, a hearing, or other information is required by the Independent Pensions Expert, the Independent Pensions Expert shall give notice thereof to the Parties as soon as practicable before the expiration of such 30 Business Day period, and the Parties shall promptly respond with a view to minimising any delay in the decision date.

7.10.6 If the Final Pension Underfunding Amount is greater than zero, the Sellers shall owe to the Purchaser the Final Pension Underfunding Amount.

7.10.7 No later than 5 Business Days after the Final Pension Underfunding Amount has been agreed to or deemed to be agreed to by Elex and the Purchaser or has been delivered by the Independent Pensions Expert, the Sellers shall deposit the amounts, if any, owed by them under sub-clause 7.10.6 together with interest thereon from the Completion Date to the date of payment at a rate of 1.3% per annum, in immediately available funds, to a bank account designated by the Purchaser.

8 Sellers’ liability

8.1 Joint and several liability

8.1.1 The obligations of the Sellers under this Agreement are joint and several.

8.1.2 If any liability of any Seller is, or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect, that shall not affect or impair the Liabilities of the other Seller under this Agreement.

8.2 Release of Sellers

8.2.1 The Purchaser may release or compromise the liability of any Seller or grant time or other indulgence to any Seller without releasing or reducing the liability of the other Seller.

8.2.2 Where a liability of one of the Sellers is so released or compromised, the remaining Seller shall continue to be severally liable for that obligation.

8.3 Time limits

8.3.1 The Sellers shall not be liable in respect of any Claim unless written notice of such Claim is given by the Purchaser to the Sellers:

(a) in the case of any Claim under paragraphs 9, 15 and/or 17 (Assets, Legal and regulatory compliance and/or Tax) of Schedule 5 (The Warranties), within 7 years after (and excluding) the Completion Date;

33

(b) in the case of any Claim under paragraph 11 (Intellectual Property and information technology) of Schedule 5 (The Warranties), within 7 years after (and excluding) the Completion Date; and

(c) in the case of any other Claim, within 24 months after (and excluding) the Completion Date,

provided that the parties hereto hereby expressly agree that Clause 8.3.1 shall not apply to any Claim for breach of any of the Warranties in paragraphs 2 and/or 4 (The Sellers and/or Corporate information) of Schedule 5 (The Warranties) and, in the event of any Claim in relation to the Warranties in paragraphs 2 and/or 4 (The Sellers and/or Corporate information) of Schedule 5 (The Warranties), the Sellers hereby expressly agree not to invoke any statute of limitation type defence.

8.3.2 Any notice served by the Purchaser pursuant to Clause 8.3.1 shall specify, in such detail as is reasonably available to the Purchaser at the time, the legal and factual basis of the Claim, and, if reasonably practicable, the amount likely to be claimed.

8.4 Monetary limits

8.4.1 Subject to Clause 8.4.4, the Purchaser shall not be entitled to recover any amount in respect of any individual Claim (or series of Claims arising from substantially the same facts or circumstances) unless the amount recoverable in respect of such Claim (or series of Claims) exceeds Euro 75,000, in which event, subject to Clause 8.4.2, the whole amount of such Claim (or series of Claims) shall be recoverable and not merely the excess.

8.4.2 Subject to Clause 8.4.4, the Purchaser shall not be entitled to recover any amount in respect of any Claim unless the amount recoverable in respect of such Claim, when aggregated with the amount of all other Claims in respect of which the Purchaser is entitled to recover pursuant to this Agreement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Claim for which the Purchaser is not entitled to recover by reason of Clause 8.4.1) exceeds Euro 1,000,000, in which event the whole amount of all such Claims shall be recoverable and not merely the excess.

8.4.3 Subject to Clause 8.4.4, the aggregate liability of the Sellers in respect of all and any Claims shall be limited to, and shall in no event exceed, 70 per cent. of the Enterprise Value Amount.

8.4.4 Clauses 8.4.1, 8.4.2 and 8.4.3 shall not apply to any Claim for breach of any of the Warranties in paragraphs 2 and 4 (The Sellers and Corporate information), paragraph 9.1 (Ownership and sufficiency of assets) and paragraph 17 (Tax) of Schedule 5 (The Warranties).

8.4.5 For purposes of determining whether a breach or a violation of any Warranty has occurred, each Warranty shall be read and construed to include all materiality, “in all material respects” and other qualifiers expressly set forth in the applicable representation or warranty. However, the determination of the amount of a Loss resulting from a breach of any Warranty of the Sellers shall be made by disregarding and not giving effect to any qualifiers as to “materiality”, “in all material respects”, or words of similar import, and instead interpreting such Warranty as if such terms were deleted.

34

8.5 Conduct of third party claims

8.5.1 If the matter or circumstance giving rise to (i) any Claim, or (ii) any claim with respect to the liability described in item 3 of Schedule 7 (Specified Liabilities), is a result of, or connected with, a claim by or liability to any third party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Purchaser shall be entitled, in its reasonable opinion, to take such action as it shall deem reasonably necessary to avoid, dispute, deny, defend, resist, appeal, compromise or contest such claim or liability (including, without limitation, making counterclaims or other claims against third parties) but shall, so far as practicable, without prejudice to the rights of the Purchaser’s insurers, consult with the Sellers in connection with any such action and give due consideration to any reasonable recommendations of the Sellers.

8.5.2 In connection with Clause 8.5.1:

(a) the Purchaser shall provide the Sellers with copies of all documents and correspondence from that third party, and all other correspondence and documents relating to the Third Party Claim, as the Sellers may reasonably request, subject to the Sellers agreeing to keep all such information and documents confidential;

(b) the Purchaser shall consult with the Sellers with respect to instructing lawyer(s) to represent the Sensor-Nite Group Companies in connection therewith; and

(c) no settlement shall be agreed with the claiming third party without prior consent of the Sellers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except if the Purchaser can demonstrate that not offering or accepting the settlement will cause disproportionate damage to the commercial interests of the Sensor-Nite Group Companies.

8.6 Fraud

None of the limitations contained in Clauses 8.3 and 8.4 shall apply to any Claim that arises or is increased, or is delayed, as a result of, fraud, dishonesty, wilful misconduct or wilful concealment on the part of any Seller or any of its representatives, agents or advisers.

8.7 Recovery from third parties

8.7.1 The Sellers shall have no obligation to indemnify the Purchaser in respect of any Claim if and to the extent the Purchaser or the Sensor-Nite Group actually receive payment with respect to the Losses arising from such Claim from an insurance policy in force at or after the Completion Date (after deduction for any Tax, cost of collection, deductible, retroactive premium adjustment, reimbursement obligation or other cost or expense directly related thereto) (an “Insurance Payment”). If the Sellers make an indemnification payment to the Purchaser for Losses as required under this Agreement, and subsequently the Purchaser or the Sensor-Nite Group

35

receive an Insurance Payment with respect to such Losses, the Purchaser shall pay or procure the payment to the Sellers of (x) if the amount of such indemnification payment is equal to or greater than the amount of the Insurance Payment, the full amount of the Insurance Payment or (y) if the amount of such indemnification payment is lower than the amount of the Insurance Payment, a portion of the Insurance Payment equal to the amount of such indemnification payment.

8.7.2 If the Sellers have paid an amount in discharge of any Claim, and the Purchaser or any Sensor-Nite Group Company recovers from a third party a sum which indemnifies or compensates the Purchaser or Sensor-Nite Group Company (in whole or in part) for the same Losses which are the subject matter of such Claim and that were actually indemnified by the Sellers, the Purchaser or the relevant Sensor-Nite Group Company shall pay to the Sellers as soon as practicable after receipt of such sum an amount equal to:

(i) the sum recovered from the third party in respect of such Losses less any costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery and less any Taxation attributable to the recovery; or

(ii) if less, the amount previously paid by the Sellers to the Purchaser less any Taxation attributable to it.

8.7.3 The Purchaser shall not be concerned with the apportionment between the Sellers of any amounts paid pursuant to Clauses 8.7.1 or 8.7.2.

8.8 Tax savings

In calculating amounts payable hereunder by the Sellers to the Purchaser with respect to a Loss, the amount of any indemnified Losses shall be computed net of any Tax benefit actually received by a Sensor-Nite Group Company (and which has reduced or eliminated a liability of the relevant Sensor-Nite Group Company to make a payment of or in respect of Tax) with respect to such Losses in the year of the indemnity payment or a prior year, but increased by the amount of any Tax detriment actually incurred by the Purchaser or a Sensor-Nite Group Company as a result of such party’s receipt of the indemnification payment with respect to such Loss.

8.9 Contingent Losses

The Sellers shall have no obligation to indemnify the Purchaser in respect of any Loss which is contingent until and to the extent such Loss is actually incurred. A Loss which will arise only if certain conditions materialise shall be considered a contingent Loss for the purposes of this Clause 8.9 unless and until the relevant conditions materialize or it becomes likely that they will materialise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Clause 8.9 shall not have the effect of preventing the Purchaser from making a Claim in respect of contingent Losses if such a Claim is made within the time limits specified in Clause 8.3.

36

8.10 Matters Arising Subsequent to this Agreement

The Sellers shall have no obligation to indemnify the Purchaser in respect of any Losses to the extent that such Losses are the direct result of any action taken by the Sellers prior to Completion or pursuant to this Agreement, in either case, at the express written request of the Purchaser.

8.11 Mitigation of Losses

The Purchaser shall procure that all reasonable steps are taken to avoid or mitigate any Losses which might give rise to a Claim under the Warranties against the Sellers, to the extent required to do so by applicable law.

5 Conduct of claims

5.1 If the Purchaser or Company become aware of any Tax Authority Action or any other circumstance which gives or may give rise to a Tax Claim (a “Tax Issue”) the Purchaser shall or shall procure that a Group Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, give written notice (the “Notice of Claim”) of the Tax Issue to the Sellers but such notice shall not be a condition precedent to the liability of the Sellers under this Schedule.

5.2 If the Sellers so request in writing, the Purchaser shall or shall procure that a Group Company shall supply the Sellers with such available and relevant details, documentation, correspondence and information and shall (subject to paragraph 5.3 of this Schedule) take such action as the Sellers may reasonably request in writing to negotiate, avoid, dispute, resist, compromise, defend or appeal against the Tax Issue and any adjudication in respect of the Tax Issue provided that:

5.2.1 the Sellers shall not be entitled to require a Group Company to delegate the conduct of such action to itself, the Sellers or any agent or professional adviser of the Sellers; and

5.2.2 the Sellers shall first indemnify a Group Company and the Purchaser to the reasonable satisfaction of the Purchaser against all sums for which the Sellers are or may be liable in respect of the Tax Issue and for any reasonable and proper third party costs, expenses and liabilities (including any additional Tax) which may be incurred as a consequence of any action taken in accordance with this Clause 5.

5.2.3 If the Sellers do not request the Purchaser or a Group Company to take action pursuant to this Clause 5 or the Sellers fail to indemnify the Purchaser or the Group Company concerned as provided for in paragraph 5.2.2 above within 21 days of the Notice of Claim to the Sellers, the Purchaser or a Group Company shall be free to pay or settle the Tax Issue on such terms as they may in their absolute discretion think fit.

5.4.2 contesting any Tax Issue before any tribunal, court or other appellate body unless at the sole expense of the Sellers, the Sellers obtain the written opinion of leading Tax counsel, (agreed with the Purchaser) after disclosure of all relevant information and documents and having regard to all the circumstances, that on the balance of probabilities the action will succeed;

109

5.4.3 complying with any unreasonable instruction of the Sellers or to taking any action or procuring the taking of any action which it reasonably considers may be prejudicial to the business of Purchaser’s Group;

5.5 If it is alleged by any Tax Authority in writing that any Seller (at any time) or a Group Company (prior to Completion) has committed any act or omission constituting fraud or gross negligence relating to Tax, paragraphs 5.2 to 5.4 shall not apply and the Sellers shall cease to have any rights under those paragraphs.

6 Tax affairs

6.1 Prior to the Completion Date the Sellers shall make, and shall procure to be made, all relevant elections in respect of any and all transfers that have taken place at any time in the six years prior to the Completion Date between members of the same group and which may give rise to a Tax Liability on any Group Company as a result of Completion so that any such Tax Liability would be treated as accruing not to any Group Company but to the Sellers or another member of the Sellers’ Tax Group. The Sellers shall maintain and provide copies to the Purchaser of any documentation, reports, correspondence and details of any information relating to the tax position, Tax Computation and/or returns of each Sensor-Nite Group Company.

110

6.6.1 the relevant Group Company properly authorises and signs the Tax Computations;

6.6.2 the relevant Group Company provides to the Sellers such information and assistance, including without limitation such access to its books and records which may reasonably be required to prepare, submit negotiate and agree the Tax Computations;

6.6.3 any correspondence which relates to the Tax Computations shall, if received by the Purchaser or the relevant Group Company or their agents or advisers be copied to the Sellers,

provided that in respect of any matter which gives or may give the Purchaser a right to make a Tax Claim, the provisions of Clause 5 with respect to appeals and the conduct of disputes shall apply instead of the provisions of this Clause 6 and provided further that the Purchaser shall not be obliged to procure that a Group Company makes any election, claim or surrender or provides any notice or withdraws or amends any election, claim, surrender or notice unless such making, provision, withdrawal or amendment was taken into account in the Closing Statement for the period to which such action relates.

6.7 The Sellers shall use all reasonable endeavours to agree the Tax Computations as soon as reasonably practicable and shall deal with all such matters promptly and diligently and within applicable time limits and in the event that the Tax Computations have not been submitted and agreed by the date which is twelve months following the Completion Date, the Sellers shall lose all their rights under this paragraph 6.

7.2 In the event that the Purchaser recovers any sum referred to in paragraph 7.1 of this Schedule after taking any action at the request of the Sellers under that paragraph, the Purchaser shall as soon as reasonably practicable account to the Sellers for the lesser of:

7.2.1 the sum recovered net of any Tax on the sum and the reasonable and proper costs and expenses (which have not already been satisfied pursuant to paragraph 7.1) of recovering the same; and

111

7.2.2 any amount already paid by the Sellers in respect of the Tax Liability giving rise to the relevant Tax Claim.

8 Purchaser’s covenant

8.1 The Purchaser covenants to pay to the Sellers an amount equal to any Tax assessed on the Sellers to the extent that such Tax is primarily the liability of a Group Company, which arose by reference to an Event occurring or income, profits or gains earned, accrued or received after Completion, and is not of a type which would allow it to be claimed by the Purchaser from the Sellers under this Schedule.

9 General

9.1 The Purchaser may release or compromise the liability under this Schedule of any Sellers or grant time or other indulgence to any Sellers without releasing or reducing the liability of any other Sellers. Where a liability of one but not the other Seller under any obligation which is both joint and several is released or compromised the remaining Seller shall continue to be severally and shall together be jointly liable on that obligation.

9.2 Any payment to the Purchaser or a Group Company under any Tax Claim shall be deemed to be a reduction of the total consideration payable under this Agreement.

112
