3.2

Subsidiaries

4.1

General

4.1.1		The Accounts (copies of which have been annexed to the Disclosure Letter) have been prepared and audited on a proper and consistent basis in accordance with the law and applicable standards, principles and practices generally accepted in the United Kingdom on the date which they were approved by the directors of the relevant Target Group Company.

4.1.2		No material change in accounting policies has been made in preparing the accounts of each of any Target Group Company during the three preceding financial years of each Target Group Company ended on the Last Accounts Date, except as stated in the audited balance sheets and profit and loss accounts for those years.

The Accounts show a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities and state of affairs of each Target Group Company as at the Last Accounts Date and of the profits and losses of each Target Group Company for the financial year ended on the Last Accounts Date.

4.2

Depreciation

4.2.1		So far as the Institutional Sellers are aware, but without qualification as to the awareness of the Management Seller, the bases and rates of depreciation and amortisation used in the Accounts were the same as those used in the audited accounts of each Target Group Company for the two preceding financial years.

4.2.2		So far as the Institutional Sellers are aware, but without qualification as to the awareness of the Management Seller, the rates of depreciation and amortisation used in the audited accounts of each Target Group Company for the three preceding financial years of each Target Group Company ended on the last Accounts Date were sufficient to ensure that each fixed asset of each Target Group Company will be written down to nil by the end of its useful life.

4.3

Management Accounts

4.3.1		The Management Accounts (a true and complete copy of which are annexed to the Disclosure Letter) have been properly prepared by the Target Group Companies on a consistent basis with the Accounts except as set out in the Disclosure Letter.

4.3.2		Having regard to the purpose for which the Management Accounts have been prepared and so far as the Institutional Sellers are aware but without qualification to the awareness of the Management Seller, the Management Accounts are not misleading in any material respect and do not materially overstate the profits of the Target Group Companies or the Target Group in respect of the period to which they relate.

4.4		Accounting records

		Each Target Group Company’s accounting records are up-to-date, in its possession or under its control and have been accurately completed in all material respects in accordance with the law and applicable standards, principles and practices generally accepted in the relevant jurisdictions.

4.5		Available Cash

		The bank statements of the Target Group Companies set out in the Disclosure Letter and the Updated Disclosure Letter accurately reflect that as at the date of this Agreement and as at the Completion Date respectively, the Target Group Companies have available cash or cash equivalents capable of immediate withdrawal without notice or other restrictions whatsoever (less all outstanding cheques or financial obligations), of at least $3,000,000 (three million Dollars).

		Since the Last Accounts Date there has been no material adverse change in the financial or trading position of each Target Group Company on the basis of the valuation used in the Accounts.

5.2		Specific

		Since the Last Accounts Date:

(a)

no Target Group Company has, other than in the usual course of its business:

	(A)		acquired or disposed of, or agreed to acquire or dispose of, a material asset; or

	(B)		assumed or incurred, or agreed to assume or incur, a material liability, obligation or expense (actual or contingent);

	(b)		no Target Group Company has factored, sold or agreed to sell a debt other than in the usual course of its business;

	(c)		no Target Group Company has made, or agreed to make, capital expenditure outside the terms of the Budget or incurred, or agreed to incur, a commitment or commitments involving capital expenditure outside the terms of the Budget;

	(d)		no Target Group Company’s business has been materially or adversely affected by the loss of a customer accounting for 5% or more of the Target Group Company’s turnover or a major supplier or by an abnormal factor not affecting similar businesses and the Sellers are not aware of a fact or circumstance relating to the foregoing which might have a material and adverse effect on any Target Group Company’s business;

	(e)		no Target Group Company has changed its accounting reference period;

	(f)		save as set out in the Disclosure Letter, no Target Group Company has created, allotted, issued, acquired, repaid or redeemed share or loan capital, or made an agreement or arrangement or undertaken an obligation to do any of those things; and

	(g)		save as set out in the Disclosure Letter, no dividend or other distribution of capital or income has been declared, made or paid or agreed to be declared made or paid by any Target Group Company.

TAX

6.1

Payment of Tax

6.1.1

Each Target Group Company has:

	(a)		duly, punctually and fully paid all Tax which it is or has been liable to pay or for which it is liable to account and is not liable for any Tax other than corporation tax on profits arising in the ordinary course of business since the Accounts Date (whether that Tax is chargeable directly or indirectly on the relevant Target Group Company); and

	(b)		made all deductions in respect of or on account of any Tax which it is obliged or entitled to make from any payments made by it and has accounted in full to the relevant Tax Authority for all amounts so deducted.

6.1.2

No Reliefs which have been taken into account in computing any provision for deferred tax which appears in the Accounts or in eliminating such a provision that would otherwise have appeared or which have been taken into account in the Accounts as an asset have been or will be lost, reduced or cancelled or otherwise unavailable.

6.2

Reliefs and Deferred Tax

6.2.1

The amount of the provision for deferred Tax in the Accounts was, at the Last Accounts Date, adequate and fully in accordance with accountancy practices generally accepted in the United Kingdom and commonly adopted by companies carrying on businesses similar to those carried on by each respective Target Group Company and, in particular, was in accordance with FRS 19 (or any replacement of it).

6.2.2

So far as the Sellers are aware, no facts or circumstances exist which, had they been known at the time the Accounts were drawn up, would have meant the provision for deferred Tax would have been greater than is contained in the Accounts.

6.3		Tax since the Last Accounts Date

		Since the Last Accounts Date no Target Group Company has been involved in any transaction which has given or is expected to give rise to a liability to Tax on a Target Group Company (or would have given or might give rise to such a liability but for the availability of any Relief) other than corporation tax on accrued trading income of any Target Group Company arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business.

6.4		Tax Provision

		The provision for tax in the Accounts is adequate and there are no unprovided for liabilities to Tax in any Target Group Company.

6.5		Residence for Tax purposes

6.5.1		The Target Company was incorporated in the United Kingdom and for the purposes of Tax in the United Kingdom is and has always been resident in the United Kingdom and will remain so at the Completion Date and the Target Company has never been regarded as being resident or having a permanent establishment, branch or agency or place of business outside the United Kingdom or as being within the charge to Tax of any jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom.

6.5.2		No Target Group Company is or has within the past seven years been a dual resident company within the meaning of section 404(4) of the Taxes Act and no Target Group Company has been involved in any transactions to which section 404 of the Taxes Act or any other provision relating to dual resident investing companies as there defined could apply.

6.6

Administration and compliance

6.6.1		All returns, notifications, computations, registrations, information and payments which should have been made or filed by each Target Group Company for any Tax purpose were made or filed within the requisite periods and were when made or filed and remain up to date, correct and on a proper basis.

6.6.2		No Target Group Company has paid in the six years ending on the Last Accounts Date and no Target Group Company is liable to pay any penalty, fine, surcharge or interest in respect of

		any Tax or any return, notification, computation, registration or payment made or filed by a Target Group Company for any Tax purpose.

6.6.3		In respect of each Target Group Company there are no, nor are there likely to be, any disputes on any matter relating to Tax and, so far as the Sellers are aware, there are no investigations being carried out in relation to or in connection with any Target Group Company.

6.6.4		Each Target Group Company has in its possession and under its control all records and documentation which it is obliged to hold, preserve and retain for Tax purposes in any applicable jurisdiction.

6.7

PAYE

6.7.1

There has not in the three years ending on the Last Accounts Date been nor is there any indication that there will be a PAYE audit on any Target Group Company.

6.8

Claims, elections and Reliefs

6.8.1

Each Target Group Company has sufficient records to enable the Buyer to procure that any time limit expiring within two years after Completion can be met of all matters relating to Tax in respect of which it (either alone or jointly with any other person) has, or at Completion will have, an outstanding entitlement to:

	(a)		make any claim (including a supplementary claim) for or disclaimer of Relief under any Tax statute applicable under any jurisdiction; or

	(b)		make any election, including an election for one type of Relief, or one basis, system or method of Tax, as opposed to another.

6.9		Close companies

		No Target Group Company is and nor at any time since the date of its incorporation has been a close company as defined in s414 ICTA (close companies) or a close investment holding company as defined in s13A ICTA (close investment holding companies).

6.10		Value Shifting

		No chargeable gain or allowable loss which might accrue on a disposal by a Target Group Company of any asset is likely to be adjusted in accordance with ss30-34 TCGA (disposals and acquisitions treated as made at market value).

6.11

Base values and acquisition costs

6.11.1		If each of the capital assets of a Target Group Company resident in the United Kingdom was disposed of at Completion for a consideration equal to the value attributed to that asset in the Accounts (or in the case of any asset acquired since the Last Accounts Date, equal to the consideration given upon its acquisition), no liability to corporation tax on chargeable gains would arise disregarding the effects of any relief available to the Target Group Company concerned other than amounts falling to be deducted under s38 TCGA (acquisition and disposal costs etc).

6.11.2		There will be no liability to Tax in any Target Group Company as a result of the entering into of this Agreement or Completion.

6.12		Claims for roll-over and hold-over of gains

		The Disclosure Letter sets out full particulars of all claims and elections made (or assumed in the Accounts to be made) under s.23, s.152 to s.158, s.161, s.162, s.165 or s.247 to s.248 TCGA (indicating which claims are provisional) insofar as they could affect the chargeable gain or allowable loss which would arise in the event of a disposal after the Last Accounts Date by any Target Group Company of any of its assets, and indicates which assets (if any) so affected would not on disposal give rise to relief under Schedule 4 TCGA.

6.13		Replacement of business assets

		No Target Group Company has made any claims under ss152 (roll-over relief), 153 (assets only partly replaced) or 154 (new assets which are depreciating assets) TCGA or Part 7 of FA 2002 (roll-over relief in case of realisation and reinvestment) and no declaration has been made under s153A TCGA (provisional application of Sections 152 and 153 TCGA) nor have any such claims been made as far as the Sellers are aware by any other person which could affect the amount or value of the consideration for the acquisition of any asset by a Target Group Company as taken into account in calculating its liability to corporation tax on chargeable gains.

6.14		Capital allowances

		All expenditure which a Target Group Company resident in the United Kingdom has incurred on the provision of machinery or plant has qualified or will qualify (if not deductible as a trading expense for the trade carried on by the Target Group Company concerned or expenditure to which another type of relief applies) for writing-down allowances under CAA

		and in relation to expenditure incurred but for which no claim has been made, a claim made by the respective Target Group Company in its next corporation tax self-assessment return for such allowances in respect of such expenditure would not be barred by virtue of s58(4) CAA (initial allocation of qualifying expenditure to pools).

6.15		Balancing charge

		No balancing charge under the CAA (or any other legislation relating to capital allowances) would be made on a Target Group Company on the disposal by any Target Group Company of any pool of assets (that is, all those assets whose expenditure would be taken into account in computing whether a balancing charge would arise on a disposal of any other of those assets) or of any asset not in such a pool, on the assumption that the disposals are made for a consideration equal to the book value shown in or adopted for the purpose of the Accounts for the assets in the pool or (as the case may be) for the asset, except as provided for or taken into account in the calculation of the deferred tax provision or lack of necessity for such provision.

6.16		Claw-back of capital allowances

		No event has occurred since the Last Accounts Date whereby any balancing charge may fall to be made against, or any disposal value may fall to be brought into account by any Target Group Company under the CAA (or any other legislation relating to any capital allowances).

6.17		Transfer pricing

		No Seller is a party to any transaction or arrangement under which it may be required to pay for any asset or services or facilities of any kind an amount to any Target Group Company which is in excess of the market value of that asset or those services or those facilities or shall receive any payment from a Target Group Company for any asset or services or facilities of any kind that such Seller has supplied or provided or is liable to supply or provide which is less than the market value.

6.18		Transactions not at arm’s length

		No Target Group Company resident in the United Kingdom has disposed of or acquired any asset in such circumstances that the provisions of s17 TCGA (disposals and acquisitions treated as made at market value) could apply nor has any Target Group Company resident in the United Kingdom given or agreed to give any consideration to which s128(2) TCGA (consideration given or received by holder) could apply and no allowable loss has accrued to

		a Target Group Company resident in the United Kingdom to which s18 TCGA (transactions between connected parties) will apply.

6.19		Tax avoidance

		No Target Group Company has engaged in or been a party to any scheme or arrangement in respect of which the main purpose was the avoidance, deferral or reduction of Tax.

6.20		Clearances

6.20.1		All consents or clearances which have been obtained in respect of any transaction to which a Target Group Company has been a party have been secured on the basis of full and accurate disclosure to the relevant Tax Authority.

6.20.2		True and complete copies of all applications for clearance made and all consents or clearances obtained since the Last Accounts Date (together with all relevant particulars) have been disclosed.

6.21		Secondary Liability

		No Target Group Company is or will become liable to Tax chargeable primarily on any other person, body of persons, entity or company.

6.22		Intangible assets

6.22.1		All intangible fixed assets (including goodwill) owned by a Target Group Company and treated for Tax purposes as assets falling within Schedule 29 FA 2002 (gains and losses of a company from intangible fixed assets) are disclosed in the Accounts.

6.22.2		No Target Group Company has or will have a liability to Taxation on income or gains except in respect of and to the extent of income and profits actually received, or due to be received, nor do any arrangements exist which might give rise to such a liability.

6.23

Loan relationships

6.23.1

All interests, discounts and premiums payable by a Target Group Company resident in the United Kingdom in respect of its loan relationships (within the meaning of s81 FA 1996) are eligible to be brought into account by the relevant Target Group Company as a debit for the purposes of Chapter II of Part IV FA 1996 at the time and to the extent that such debits are recognised in the statutory accounts of the relevant Target Group Company (assuming that the

accounting principles and methods adopted for the purpose of the Accounts continue to be so adopted).

6.24		Third party agreements

SCHEDULE 6
LIMITATIONS ON SELLERS’ LIABILITY

The Sellers shall not be liable for any Relevant Claim in respect of any fact, matter, event or circumstances to the extent that:

	(a)		such fact, matter, event or circumstance has been disclosed in this Agreement or the Disclosure Letter but this limitation on the Sellers’ liability shall not apply to any Relevant Claim in respect of a breach of any of the Tax Warranties where disclosure against that Tax Warranty is not permitted under Clause 7.4.2 of this Agreement; or

	(b)		allowance, provision or reserve has been made for such fact, matter, event or circumstance in the Accounts or Management Accounts or to the extent that payment or discharge of the relevant matter has been taken into account therein or to the extent that such matter was specifically referred to in the notes to such Accounts or Management Accounts.

2.		The Sellers shall not be liable for any Relevant Claim which would not have arisen but for an act, omission or transaction carried out after the date hereof by the Buyer or any director, officer, employee, Affiliate or agent of the Buyer or by any Target Group Company after Completion (except in the case of a Target Group Company one which that Target Group Company was, at Completion, under a legal obligation to carry out).

3.		The Sellers shall not be liable in respect of any Relevant Claim to the extent that such Relevant Claim is attributable to, or such Relevant Claim is increased as a result of, any legislation not in force at the date hereof or to any change of law, regulation, directive, requirement or administrative practice or any change in rates of tax, which in each case is not in force at the date hereof and which takes effect retrospectively.

4.		Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way restrict or limit the general obligation at law of the Buyer and the Target Group Company to mitigate any loss or damage which it may suffer in consequence of any breach by the Sellers of the terms of this Agreement or any fact, matter, event or circumstance giving rise to a Relevant Claim (other than one relating to the breach of a Tax Warranty), and no Relevant Claim shall arise to the extent that a breach of a Tax Warranty results in a liability to a Target Group Company that may be discharged, in whole or in part, by use of a Pre-Accounts Date Loss.

5.		If the Sellers pay to the Buyer an amount in discharge of a Relevant Claim and the Buyer or a Target Group Company subsequently recovers, or subsequently is entitled or subsequently

109

may be entitled to recover, (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief or otherwise) from a third party (including any tax authority) a sum which is referable to the matter giving rise to the Relevant Claim or obtains a Relief which is so referable, the Buyer shall (or, as appropriate, shall procure that Target Group Company shall):

	(a)		give notice to the Sellers of that fact as soon as practicable and in any event, within 14 days of the Buyer or the Target Group Company becoming so aware;

	(b)		if so required by the Sellers, and subject to the Buyer being fully indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Sellers against all reasonable costs and expenses incurred hereunder by the Buyer or any Target Group Company, take such appropriate action as the Sellers may reasonably request to enforce such recovery;

	(c)		keep the Sellers fully informed of the progress of any action taken and provide them with copies of all relevant correspondence and documentation; and

	(d)		forthwith pay to the Sellers an amount equal to (i) the sum recovered from the third party (or the value of the relief obtained, calculated by reference to the amount saved) less any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Buyer or the Target Group Company in recovering the same and any tax suffered on the receipt; or (ii) if the figure resulting under sub-paragraph (i) above is greater than the amount paid by the Sellers to the Buyer or the Target Group Company in respect of the Relevant Claim or the aggregate payments previously made by the Sellers in respect of all Relevant Claims, such lesser amount as shall have been so paid by the Sellers.

The amount by which the sum calculated in accordance with paragraph (d) exceeds the amount repaid by the Sellers pursuant to this sub clause shall be carried forward and set against any future payment or payments which become due from the Sellers in respect of any Relevant Claim.

6.		If any Relevant Claim shall arise by reason of some liability which at the time that the relevant Claim is notified to the Sellers is contingent only, the Sellers shall not be under any obligation to make any payment to the Buyer in respect of such a Relevant Claim until such time as the contingent liability ceases to be so contingent.

7.		The Buyer agrees for itself and on behalf of each Target Group Company with the Sellers that each of them shall not be entitled to recover damages or obtain payment, reimbursement, restitution or indemnity more than once in respect of any one shortfall, damage, deficiency, breach or other set of circumstances which give rise to one or more Relevant Claim, and for

110

		this purpose recovery by the Buyer or the Target Group shall be deemed to be a recovery by each of them.

8.		Upon any Relevant Claim for breach of Warranty being made or notification from the Buyer to the Sellers pursuant to paragraph 9 of this Schedule 6 of any third party claim, potential claim, matter or event which might lead to a Relevant Claim being made, the Buyer shall and shall co-operate to procure that the Target Group shall, subject to any applicable confidentiality restrictions imposed on or by the Buyer :

	(a)		make available to accountants and other professional advisers appointed by the Sellers such access to the personnel of the Target Group and to any relevant records and information as the Sellers reasonably request in connection with such Relevant Claim or third party claim, potential claim, matter or event; and

	(b)		use reasonable endeavours to procure that the auditors (both past and then current) of the Target Group make available their audit working papers in respect of audits of the Target Group’s accounts for any relevant accounting period in connection with such Relevant Claim of third party claim, potential claim, matter or event.

9.1

If the Buyer becomes aware of any third party claim, potential claim, matter or event (a “third party claim”) which might lead to a Relevant Claim being made, (subject to being fully indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Sellers against all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Buyer or the Target Group) the Buyer:

	(a)		shall procure that notice of such third party claim (including reasonably sufficient details of the claim, the due date for payment, any time limits for appeal, and so far as practicable, the amount of the claim) is as soon as practicable (having regard to any applicable time limits for appeal) given to the Sellers;

	(b)		shall not make (or, as appropriate, shall co operate to procure that the Target Group shall not make) any admission of liability, agreement or compromise with any person, body or authority in relation to any such third party claim without prior consultation and with the prior agreement of the Sellers which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;

	(c)		shall take (or, as appropriate, shall co-operate to procure that the Target Group shall take) such action as the Sellers may reasonably request to avoid, dispute, resist, appeal, compromise or defend such third party claim or any adjudication in respect of that third party claim;

111

	(d)		if so required by the Sellers in writing, shall ensure (or, as appropriate, shall co operate to procure that the Target Group shall ensure) that the Sellers are placed in a position to take on or take over the conduct of all proceedings and/or negotiations of whatsoever nature arising in connection with the third party claim in question providing that the Sellers shall instruct legal counsel in connection therewith only with the prior written approval of the Buyer (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

	(e)		provide (or, as appropriate, co operate to procure that the Target Group provides) such information and assistance as the Sellers may reasonably require in connection with the preparation for and conduct of such proceedings and/or negotiations referred to in paragraph (d) above; and

	(f)		shall, whether or not the Sellers have exercised their right to take control of the proceedings in accordance with paragraph (d) above, keep (or, as appropriate, procure that the Target Group Company keeps) the Sellers fully informed of any actual or proposed developments (including any meetings) including without limitation, subject to any reasonable confidentiality restrictions imposed by the Buyer, providing the Sellers with copies of all correspondence and documents relating to the third party claims and any information, assistance and access to records and personnel as they reasonably require.

9.2

The Sellers agree that they shall consult with the Buyer and keep it fully informed of proceedings or negotiations referred to in paragraph 9.1(d) and shall not make any admission of liability, agreement or compromise with any person, body or authority in relation to any such third party claim without prior consultation and with the prior agreement of the Buyer which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

9.3

In respect of a third party claim which might lead to a Relevant Claim relating to a breach of a Tax Warranty (a “Tax Warranty Claim”):

	(a)		keep the Buyer fully informed of all matters known to the Sellers, or their advisers, concerning the Tax Warranty Claim and provide the Buyer with copies of all documents and correspondence relating to the Tax Warranty Claim; and

	(b)		submit to the Buyer for written approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) drafts of all communications relating to the Tax Warranty Claim which the Sellers, or their advisers, intend to make to the relevant Tax Authority at least five Business Days before the communication is made and, before the

112

communication is made, make, or procure to be made, such amendments as the Buyer shall reasonably request.

9.4		Where the Sellers’ conduct of a Tax Warranty Claim under paragraph 9.1 would involve the relevant Target Group Company contesting the Tax Warranty Claim before any court or other appellate body (excluding a Tax Authority), Tax counsel (of at least ten years’ call) shall be appointed by agreement between the Sellers and the Buyer and paragraph 9.1 will not apply unless that counsel provides a written opinion that an appeal against the Tax Warranty Claim will, on the balance of probabilities, be won.

9.5		The Buyer may, and may procure that the relevant Target Group Company may, pay or settle a Tax Warranty Claim on such terms as it may in its absolute discretion think fit and without prejudice to any of the Buyer’s rights under this Agreement if:

	(a)		the Tax Warranty Claim arises out of a dishonest or fraudulent act or omission by the Sellers or a Target Group Company prior to Completion or if the Buyer has reasonable grounds to believe that the conduct of the Sellers or a Target Group Company in connection with the Tax Warranty Claim amounts to fraud; or

	(b)		the Sellers or any member of the Sellers’ Group:

	(i)		becomes insolvent and corporate action, or other steps, are taken or legal proceedings are started, for its winding up, dissolution or administration or for the appointment of a receiver, administrator, trustee or similar officer of the Sellers or any of their assets; or

	(ii)		is unable to pay its debts as they fall due, starts negotiations with a creditor with a view to general readjustment or rescheduling of its indebtedness or makes a general assignment for the benefit of, or a composition with, its creditors; or

	(c)		in the Buyer’s reasonable opinion, any action taken by the Sellers under paragraph 9.1 is likely to affect adversely either the future liability of any Target Group Company to Tax or the business or financial interest of any of them or of any person connected with any of them; or

	(d)		the Sellers fail to comply with paragraphs 9.3, 9.4 or 9.5; or

	(e)		within ten business days (or five business days in a case where there is a time limit for appeal) of the Sellers having been given written details of the Tax Warranty

113

			Claim under paragraph 9.1, it fails to notify the Buyer of its intention to dispute the Tax Warranty Claim or notifies the Buyer that it does not wish to have conduct of the Tax Warranty Claim; or

	(f)		the Buyer reasonably considers that the Sellers, or their advisers, have failed to progress the conduct of the Tax Warranty Claim within a reasonable time.

10.		Any Relevant Claim shall (if it has not been previously satisfied, settled or withdrawn) be deemed to have been withdrawn (and no new Relevant Claim may be made in respect of the facts giving rise to such withdrawn Relevant Claim) unless legal proceedings in respect of it have been commenced by both being issued and served within 6 months of notice having been given by the Buyer pursuant to Clause 8.5.

11.		The Sellers shall not be liable to satisfy any Relevant Claim in respect of any Target Group Company which shall be made after such Target Group Company shall cease to be a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Buyer or of any company which shall at the date of the Relevant Claim be a subsidiary or holding company of the Buyer or a subsidiary of such holding company.

12.		The Sellers shall not be liable in respect of any Relevant Claim to the extent that the amount of such Relevant Claim is recoverable under any policy of insurance of the Target Group in force at the date of this Agreement.

13.		The Sellers shall not be liable for any Relevant Claim to the extent that such Relevant Claim arises or, such Relevant Claim otherwise having arisen, is increased as a result of any change made after Completion in any accounting or taxation policies or practice, or the length of any accounting period for tax purposes, of the any Target Group Company, the Buyer or any other company in the same group of companies as the such Target Group Company or the Buyer.

		14.

(a)

In calculating the liability of the Sellers in respect of the Relevant Claim for breach of a Tax Warranty, applying the accounting policies, principles and practices adopted in relation to preparation of the Accounts, such Relevant Claim for a breach of a Tax Warranty shall be reduced by:

(i)

the amount by which any assets shall have been under stated in the Accounts;

114

	(ii)		the amount by which any liability of a Target Group Company shall have been overstated in the Accounts or is discharged or satisfied below the amount attributed thereto in such Accounts; or

	(iii)		the amount by which any contingency, provision or reserve (including any provision or reserve taken into account in calculating the net value of an asset) in the Accounts of the Target Company has at the date of the Relevant Claim been established to have been unnecessary or excessive or is subsequently established to have been unnecessary or excessive,

PROVIDED that such amounts shall be calculated without taking into account:

	(A)		a retrospective change in the law of Taxation announced after the Last Accounts Date; or

	(B)		any Relief arising after the Last Accounts Date; or

	(C)		any act of the Buyer or a Target Group Company carried out after the Last Accounts Date

			(in each case in respect of paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) an “Overprovision”);

	(b)		The Sellers may require the auditors for the time being of the Target Group to clarify, at its request and expense, the existence and amount of any Overprovision and the Buyer shall provide, or procure that the each Target Group Company provides, any information or assistance required for the purpose of production by the auditors of a certificate to that effect.

	(c)		Subject to (e) below:

	(i)		any Overprovision shall first be set against any payment then due from the Sellers in respect of a Relevant Claim for a breach of a Tax Warranty;

	(ii)		to the extent there is an excess, a refund shall be made to the Sellers of any previous payment or payments made by the Sellers in respect of a Relevant Claim for a breach of a Tax Warranty (and not previously refunded) up to the amount of the excess; and

	(iii)		to the extent that the excess referred to in paragraph (ii) above is not exhausted, the remainder of that excess shall be carried forward and set

115

against any future payment or payments which become due from the Sellers in respect of a Relevant Claim for a breach of a Tax Warranty.

	(d)		Either any of the Sellers or the Buyer may, at its expense, require any certificate produced in accordance with (b) above to be received by the auditors for the time being of the Target Group in the event that there are relevant circumstances or factors of which it was not aware, and which were not taken into account, at the time that such certificate was produced, and to certify whether the certificate remains correct or whether it should be amended.

	(e)		If following the requirement under (d) the certificate is amended, the revised amount of Overprovision shall be substituted for the purposes of (c), and any adjusting payment that is required shall be made forthwith.

15.		If the Seller pays any amount on account of any liability and subsequently the amount of any provision for any liability in the Accounts shall be confirmed by the auditors at the request of any party to be shown to have been an Overprovision, then the Buyer shall immediately repay to the Sellers an amount equal to such payment or the amount overprovided (whichever is less) and the amount of the provision shall thereafter for the purposes of this Agreement be treated as reduced by the amount of such repayment.

16.		Where a Warranty provided by an Institutional Seller in this Agreement is qualified by the expression “so far as the Sellers are aware” or “so far as the Institutional Sellers are aware” or a similar expression such Warranty shall be limited to and based on the actual knowledge of that matter or thing which each such director or representative of each Institutional Seller set forth below gained as a result of board meetings, board packs, and other documentation distributed by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and/or the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the Target Group Company to such Institutional Seller and after such director or representative has made enquiries of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, and/or Willem Van Biljon, and/or ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ regarding the subject matter of such Warranty.

(a)		might affect the relevant Target Group Company’s ability to make claims for allowances or reliefs, to accept surrenders of Reliefs or to consent to surrenders of Reliefs in respect of any accounting period ending on or before Completion to the extent such claims or surrender of Reliefs are taken into account in the Accounts; or

(b)		would reduce or extinguish any relief or allowances relating to any accounting period ending on or before Completion to the extent such relief or allowance has been taken into account in the Accounts.

18.7		The Buyer shall not and shall procure that any Target Group Company shall not amend, disregard, withdraw or disclaim any elections, claims or benefits or disclaim any capital allowances in respect of any accounting period on or before Completion.

119

SCHEDULE 7
EARN OUT ACCOUNTS
PART A: Form of Earn Out Accounts

After the Earn Out Period, and within 30 business days of the end of the Earn Out Period, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Seller:

(a)		a draft of the Earn Out Accounts on a basis consistent with and prepared using the same accounting policies as those used in preparing the Accounts, except as provided for in Part B of this Schedule; and

(b)		a draft pro-forma Statement of EBITDA on the basis of the draft Earn Out Accounts and if relevant, a draft Statement of Adjustments,

both of which shall be prepared taking into account the adjustments set out in Part C of this Schedule.

2.		No later than 30 business days after the receipt of the draft Earn Out Accounts and the draft Statement of EBITDA, the Sellers shall notify the Buyer in writing whether or not they accept the draft Earn Out Accounts, the draft Statement of EBITDA and, if relevant, the draft Statement of Adjustments.

3.		If the Sellers notify the Buyer in accordance with paragraph 4 of this Schedule that they do not accept the draft Earn Out Accounts or the draft Statement of EBITDA or, if relevant, the draft Statement of Adjustments:

(a)		the Sellers shall set out in such notice their reasons for such non-acceptance and specify the adjustments, with supporting evidence, which they believe should be made to the draft Earn Out Accounts and/or the draft Statement of EBITDA and/or the Statement of Adjustments in order to comply with the requirements of this Agreement; and

(b)		within 30 business days of receipt by the Buyer of such notice, the parties shall use all reasonable endeavours to agree the adjustments which the Sellers have requested to be made in order to put such draft documents in final form.

If the Sellers accept the draft Earn Out Accounts, the draft Statement of EBITDA and, if relevant, the draft Statement of Adjustments (either as originally submitted or after agreed adjustments) or if the Sellers fail to notify the Buyers of their non-acceptance of the draft Earn Out Accounts, the draft Statement of EBITDA and, if relevant, the draft Statement of

120

Adjustments within the period referred to in paragraph 4 of this Schedule, the draft Earn Out Accounts, the draft Statement of EBITDA and, if relevant, the draft Statement of Adjustments (if relevant with any agreed adjustments) shall constitute Earn Out Accounts and the Statement of EBITDA and, if relevant, the draft Statement of Adjustments which shall be final and binding on the parties.

If the Buyers and the Sellers do not reach agreement within 10 business days of the Sellers’ notice of non-acceptance under paragraph 5 of this Schedule, the matters in dispute (but only the matters in dispute) may be referred on the application of either the Sellers or the Buyers to Independent Accountants for determination and a statement of what adjustments in respect of such disputed matters (if any) are necessary to the draft Statement of EBITDA and, if relevant the draft Statement of Adjustments in order for them to have been prepared in accordance with his Agreement, on the following terms:

(a)		the Independent Accountants shall act as an expert (and not as an arbitrator);

(b)		in so far as they are able, the parties shall each provide the Independent Accountant with all information relating to the Target Group Companies which the Independent Accountants reasonably require;

(c)		the decision of the Independent Accountants shall be made within (10) business days of the referral and shall, in the absence of fraud or manifest error, be final and binding on the parties; and

(d)		the Independent Accountants’ costs shall be paid equally by the Buyer and the Sellers or as the Independent Accountants otherwise determine.

121

PART B: Accounting Policies

The Earn Out Accounts shall be prepared in accordance with the accounting policies adopted in the Accounts.

122

PART C: Adjustments

1.		EARN OUT ACCOUNTS BASIS

		No provision shall be included or adjustment made in the Earn Out Accounts in relation to the following matters:

		EBITDA Adjustments

		The following items will be added/(deducted) from EBITDA in the Earn Out Accounts in order to determine EBITDA upon which the consideration will be based.

(a)

New products resulting in change of EBITDA

(i)		If the Buyer introduces a new product or business line (being a product or business line outside of the business of the Target Group) through the Target Group, the Sellers may give notice in writing before the commercial introduction of such product or business line through the Target Group indicating in writing whether they wish to exclude the new product or business line from the calculation of EBITDA for the period in which the product is introduced during the Earn Out Period (an “Exclusion Notice”).

(ii)		If an Exclusion Notice has been served then, in addition to the instructions given to that accountants producing the Earn Out Accounts, instructions will be given to the accountants to exclude the new product or business line from the Earn Out Accounts.

(iii)		For the avoidance of doubt, a failure by the Sellers to give an Exclusion Notice will result in and will constitute the Sellers, consent to, the inclusion of the new product or business line in the Earn Out Accounts.

(b)		Competing Business

		The Buyer agrees that the EBITDA arising from any business established by the Buyer or any of its Affiliates after the Completion Date and which competes directly with a business of a Target Group Company shall be added to the EBITDA of the Target Group.

(c)		Interaction with Relevant Claims

(i)

The Buyer agrees that if any claim in respect of which a recovery made by the Buyer has an effect on EBITDA, the “sum so recovered” (meaning an amount equal to the total amount recovered by the Buyer plus any interest recovered less any properly

		incurred costs recovered and any tax thereof suffered by the Buyer) by the Buyer shall be added back to the Earn Out Accounts so as to eliminate such effect on EBITDA.

(ii)		In respect of determining EBITDA, no loss, liability or provisions (including, without limitation, in respect of potential costs and expenses relating thereto) shall be included or taken into account in such calculation to the extent that the matter, fact, circumstance or event giving rise thereto is related to the subject matter of any Warranty and related to the period up to Completion whether or not any Relevant Claim can be made in respect thereof under the Warranties.

(d)

Other Adjustments

		In the event that:

(i)		a member of the Target Group enters into a transaction with the Buyer or any Affiliate of the Buyer other than in the ordinary course of business and on arm’s length commercial terms;

(ii)		a mortgage, charge or encumbrance (other than one arising by operation of law in the ordinary course of the business of the Target Group) is granted or a security interest is created over the whole or any part of the business, property or assets of any Target Group Company (otherwise than as may arise or be required in the normal course of trading);

(iii)		a Target Group Company enters into or agrees to enter into any arrangement for the sharing of the profits or assets of any Target Group Company (provided that this shall not affect the Buyer’s ability to use the Target Group’s customer database to cross-sell other products among the Buyer and Affiliates of the Buyer); or

(iv)		the Buyer or any Affiliate of the Buyer acquires a business which competes directly or indirectly with a business of a Target Group Company (whether or not such competing business is combined legally or operationally with the Target Group) which changes the way in which the business of the Target Group is conducted or the Target Group’s standing among the Affiliates of the Buyer or which represents a significant burden on management time;

and there is a consequential adverse effect on EBITDA for the Target Group in respect of the Earn Out Period, then the Buyer’s accounting department shall calculate and provide an adjusted EBITDA figure which shall be substituted for the non-adjusted EBITDA figure in

124

the calculation of the Earn Out Payment so as to ensure that the Earn Out Payment is at least as high as that which would have arisen had the transaction not been effected or if it had been effected on arm’s length terms (whichever would have given rise to the higher Earn Out Payment).

(e)

Employee Options Payment

Any amount payable by or to a Target Group Company in connection with Employee Options (including without limitation any payment received from the Buyer by a Target Group Company, any payment by a Target Group Company to an Employee Optionholder or any payment of Tax by a Target Group Company relating thereto) shall be given a value of zero for the purposes of calculating EBITDA.

125

[EXECUTIVE OPTIONS]

[MOSAIC SOFTWARE HOLDINGS LIMITED LETTERHEAD]

[ ] 2004


To:	Holders of Option(s) granted under the Mosaic Software Holdings Limited Employee Share Option Scheme (the “Scheme”)

Dear Optionholder,

Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Sale and Purchase Agreement”) relating to the entire issued share capital of Mosaic Software Holdings Limited (“Mosaic”) to be entered into between (1) Macchiato Investments Limited, Business Connexion Technology Holdings (Proprietary) Limited, GE Capital Equity Investments Limited, Nederlandse Finanierings – Maatschappij Voor Ontwikkelingslanden N.V. and GTD Investments LLC (the “Sellers”) and (2) the buyer named therein (the “Buyer”)

Introduction

We are writing to you in respect of the option(s) granted to you under the Scheme (the “Option(s)”). You should be aware that the Sellers are proposing to sell the entire issued share capital of Mosaic to the Buyer (the “Sale”). It is a condition of the Sale that the options granted to you under the Scheme are cancelled prior to its completion (“Completion”).

The Sale

In recognition of your contribution to, and in anticipation of your future commitment to Mosaic and its subsidiaries, Mosaic should like to offer you the opportunity to realise the value of your Option(s) in the event of the Sale proceeding. Therefore, in anticipation of the Sale, and conditional upon the Sale, the Sellers are offering to pay you a share of the proceeds of the Sale for the cancellation of your Options (the “Offer”).

The cash sum you receive will be calculated in accordance with the terms of the enclosed Cancellation Payment Deed by reference to the number of options held by you, the exercise price of such options and the purchase price to be paid by the Buyer to the Sellers under the Sale and Purchase Agreement, less any income tax, primary national insurance contribution and secondary national insurance contribution arising in respect of such payment to you.

Procedure

To accept the Offer, you must complete and sign the enclosed Form of Instruction in the manner set out in this letter. The completed and signed Form of Instruction must be returned (together with your Option certificate if you have one) to [ ] at Mosaic no later than [ ] [am/pm] on [ ] 2004.
