Unless (i) any objection has been served to the Purchaser within the time frame stipulated in the Clause 7.2; and (ii) the objection contains all such information as specified in the immediate preceding sentence, the calculation of the Purchase Price prepared by the Purchaser will be final and binding between the parties.

7.4.2 The calculation of the Purchase Price prepared by the Expert will be final and binding on the parties, and it can only be challenged in accordance with Clause 14.8 in the event of fraudulent acts or obvious errors. The Adjustment Amount payable (if any) shall be determined by reference to such calculation of the Purchase Price.

7.4.3 The Expert will make decisions as to the appointment of its fees and other costs between the parties based on the amount by which each party’s calculation of the Purchase Price deviated from the Purchase Price determined by such party.

7.5 No later than five (5) Business Days after the calculation of the Purchase Price has become final and binding on the parties in accordance with this Clause 7, the Adjustment Amount (together with the interest accrued on the Adjustment Amount at the Applicable Rate from the Closing Date up to and including the date of payment) must be paid in immediately available funds by the Seller to the Purchaser, or by the Purchaser to the Seller (as applicable), provided that:

7.5.1 if the Adjustment Amount shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Seller, 10 per cent of the Adjustment Amount shall be paid by the Purchaser into the Escrow Account and the payment of the remainder of the Adjustment Amount to the Seller shall fully discharge the Purchaser’s obligation under this Clause 7.5; and

7.5.2 if the Adjustment Amount is to be paid by the Seller to the Purchaser, 10 per cent of the Adjustment Amount shall be released from the Escrow Account in accordance with Clause 5.1.2 of the Escrow Agreement and such release together with the payment by the Seller to the Purchaser of the remainder of the Adjustment Amount shall fully discharge the Seller’s obligation under this Clause 7.5.

10.2.1 Any such claim for Losses (and any corresponding reduction of the Purchase Price) shall be for an amount corresponding to the Losses resulting from, in connection with, relating or incidental to or by virtue of such breach.

24

10.2.2 For the avoidance of doubt, and without prejudice to the generality of Clause 10, the Seller shall have no liability for any indirect Loss suffered by the Purchaser, including, without limitation, loss of synergies or loss of other similar profits, revenues or advantages that the Purchaser or its affiliated parties expected to make or obtain, or Losses relating to profits or revenues lost, under the Purchaser’s existing contracts or under contracts that the Purchaser expects to, or will, enter into with third parties; provided that this Clause 10.2.2 shall not limit the Seller’s liability with respect to any such Losses to the extent paid or payable to a third party).

All other amounts owed or payable from the Seller to the Purchaser or any Purchaser Party shall be made from the Escrow Funds only with the prior written consent of the Purchaser in its sole discretion.

10.4 Manner of Payment

Except as otherwise provided herein, any indemnification of the Purchaser Parties pursuant to this Clause 10 shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Seller to an account designated by the applicable Purchaser Party within ten (10) days after the determination thereof. Any such indemnification payments shall include interest at the Applicable Rate calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over 360, from the date any such Loss is suffered or sustained to the date of payment. All indemnification payments under this Clause 10 shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price.

11 Limitation of Liability

11.1 Time Limitation for Claims

11.1.1 The Seller shall not be liable under this Agreement unless a notice of the claim is given by the Purchaser to the Seller providing detailed information of the legal and factual basis of the claim and the evidence then available on which the Purchaser relies and, if practicable, an estimate of the amount of losses which are, or are to be, the subject of the claim (including any losses which are contingent on the occurrence of any future event) within fifteen (15) months from the Closing Date, except that there shall be no time limitation for giving notice of any claim under Clause 1.1 (The Shares and the Group Companies), Clause 1.2 (Incorporation), Clause 4.1 (Authorization) and Clause 5 (Subsidiaries) of Schedule 4 (Seller’s Warranties).

11.1.2 If the Purchaser becomes aware of any third party claim that the Purchaser Parties would reasonably expect to result in a claim against the Seller under this Agreement, the Purchaser shall within thirty (30) Business Days give notice in writing to the Seller setting out such information as is available to the Purchaser as is reasonably necessary to enable the Seller to assess the merits of the claim, to act to preserve evidence and to make such provision as the Seller may consider necessary; provided that failure to give notice within such period shall not affect the rights of the Purchaser except to the extent that the Seller is prejudiced by the failure.

25

11.1.3 Any claim notified pursuant to Clause 11.1.1 shall (if it has not been previously satisfied, settled or withdrawn) be deemed to be irrevocably withdrawn twelve (12) months after the relevant time limit set out in Clause 11.1.1 if Purchaser is not at such time continuing to use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve or finalize such claim or, in the case of any contingent liability, twelve (12) months after such contingent liability becomes an actual and definitive liability, unless in each case at such time legal proceedings (or arbitration proceedings hereunder) in respect of the relevant claim have been commenced by being both issued and served.

11.2 Minimum Claims

The Seller shall not be liable pursuant to Clause 10.2 of this Agreement in respect of:

(ii) any change after the date of this Agreement of any generally accepted interpretation or application of any legislation;

11.5.4 Accounting and Taxes Policies

any change (other than changes taken to correct pre-existing errors or non-compliance issues) in accounting or Taxes policy, bases or practice of the Purchaser or any of the Group Companies introduced or having effect after Closing (it being understood and agreed that, if any change in accounting or Taxes policy, bases or practice has been made, any damages shall be determined by reference to the corresponding accounting or Taxes policy, bases or practice that existed at the date of this Agreement such that this Clause 11.5.4 serves only to ignore the extent of the changes resulting from such new accounting or Taxes policy, bases or practice).

11.6 Insurance

The Seller shall not be liable under this Agreement in respect of any claim to the extent that the Losses in respect of which such claim is made are actually recovered (net of any increase in premiums resulting from such recovery) by the Purchaser or its Affiliates under insurance policies with respect to such Losses. Each party hereby waives, to the extent permitted under its applicable insurance policies, any subrogation rights that its insurer may have with respect to any indemnifiable Losses.

11.7 Tax Benefit

If any loss or cost for which the Seller is liable under this Agreement is a tax-deductible item, the recoverable loss or cost shall be reduced by an amount equivalent to the net cash tax benefit actually realized by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates during or prior to the year of the indemnity payment, treating such Tax items attributable to the Loss as the last items claimed for any taxable year.

27

11.8 Purchaser’s Actual or Constructive Knowledge

The Seller shall not be liable in respect of any claim for breach of this Agreement to the extent that the facts giving rise to the relevant claim were actually known by the Purchaser or by any of its directors or officers prior to signing this Agreement.

11.8.1 any matter which has been Fairly Disclosed in this Agreement or the Purchaser Due Diligence Reports; and

11.8.2 the Data Room, provided that such material has been Fairly Disclosed.

11.9 Mitigation of Losses

To the extent required by applicable Law, the Purchaser shall procure that all reasonable steps are taken and all reasonable assistance is given to avoid or mitigate any Losses which in the absence of mitigation would give rise to a liability in respect of any claim under this Agreement.

11.11 Double Claims

The Purchaser shall not be entitled to recover from the Seller under this Agreement more than once in respect of the same Losses suffered.

11.12 Gross Negligence and Wilful Misconduct

Nothing in this Agreement (including this Clause 11) shall limit or restrict any of the Purchaser Parties’ rights to maintain or recover any amounts in connection with any action or claim based upon gross negligence (Sw. grov vårdslöshet) or wilful misconduct (Sw. uppsåt).

11.13 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments

All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax, accounting and other purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

28

12 Third Party Claims

If a matter or circumstance that may give rise to a claim against the Seller under this Agreement is a result of or in connection with a claim by or liability to a third party (including any claim by any Tax Authority) then:

12.1 No Admissions

No admissions in relation to such third party claim shall be made by or on behalf of the Purchaser or any other member of the Purchaser’s Group and the claim shall not be compromised, disposed of or settled without the written consent of the Seller if, in each case, such admission, compromise, disposition or settlement would result in injunctive or other equitable relief against the Seller or if such admission, compromise, disposition or settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release the Seller from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim;

12.2 Right to Participate in Defense of Claims

The Seller shall be entitled at its own expense and in its absolute discretion, by notice in writing to the Purchaser, to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose, and the Purchaser shall allow the Seller reasonable access to information and to employees of the Purchaser or the relevant Subsidiary of the Purchaser or any other relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group relating to such matters within the control of the Purchaser; provided that (a) the participation by such Seller shall be without prejudice to the rights of the Purchaser or any member of the Purchaser’s Group to deal with such matter and (b) the Purchaser’s Group shall in any event control the defense of such matters and shall have sole final authority in respect of such matters, subject to the Seller’s consent rights set forth in Clause 12. The Purchaser shall in any event keep the Seller informed as to the steps which are being taken in connection with the third party claim; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Clause 12, the Purchaser shall not be required to do anything which could adversely impact the legal and/or litigation privilege in respect of any information relating to such matter; provided that the failure to so inform the Seller shall not relieve the Seller of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that (and only to the extent that) the Seller has been prejudiced thereby;

12.3 Investigation by the Seller

The Purchaser shall allow, and shall procure that the relevant Group Company allows, the Seller and its advisers to reasonably investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to a claim; and

12.4 Assistance with Claims

The Purchaser shall, and the Purchaser shall procure that any other members of the Purchaser’s Group shall, at the Seller’s expense, give all such information and assistance as the Seller may reasonably request, including such professional or legal advisers as the Seller may nominate, in connection with the Seller’s participation in the defense of any such third party claims.

13.3 The restrictions in Clause 13.1 shall not apply to (a) any announcement or circular required by Law, by any stock exchange or any regulatory or other supervisory body or authority of competent jurisdiction, whether or not the requirement has the force of Law, (b) any offering materials (including any circular), investor presentations or other communications in the ordinary course of the Purchaser’s financing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (c) disclosure by Institutional Owners to any of its direct or indirect shareholders or limited partners, provided with respect to Clause (c) that (i) the disclosure excludes any information regarding the business or prospects of the Group Companies and (ii) such information is disclosed on a confidential basis.

13.4 The Seller agrees not to disclose or use at any time (and shall cause its Affiliates not to use or disclose at any time) any Confidential Information.
