11 (b) less than the Estimated Book Value (the “Excess Purchaser Amount”), the Sellers shall pay to the Purchaser, within five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Completion Accounts are finally agreed or determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to the extent that such amount is not satisfied in accordance with paragraph 2 of Part 2 of Schedule 5 (Escrow Account), an amount equal to the Excess Purchaser Amount (subject to a cap of the Escrow Amount in respect of any portion of the Excess Purchaser Amount that is attributable to amounts that are not Escrow Excluded Amounts). 3.5 In determining the payments to be made (if any) in relation to the Excess Seller Amount or Excess Purchaser Amount, the Purchaser and Majority Sellers shall jointly determine (or if not jointly determined, as determined consistent with Part 3 of Schedule 4 (Preparation, Delivery and Agreement)): (a) any difference related to amounts that are Escrow Excluded Amounts (such amount expressed as a positive number if such difference caused an increase in the Actual Book Value and expressed as a negative number if such difference caused a decrease in the Actual Book Value); and (b) any difference related to amounts that are not Escrow Excluded Amounts (such amount expressed as a positive number if such difference caused an increase in the Actual Book Value and expressed as a negative number if such difference caused a decrease in the Actual Book Value). 3.6 For the avoidance of doubt, the overall consideration paid by the Purchaser for the purchase of the Sale Shares after the determination of the Final Consideration will be equal to the Actual Book Value, subject to: (i) any adjustments as a result of Clause 3.4(a) or Clause 3.4(b), and (ii) Clause 3.3(b) to 3.3(d) (inclusive). 3.7 Escrow The Escrow Amount shall be paid by the Purchaser at Completion into the Escrow Account. Payments from the Escrow Account shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 5 and the Escrow Agreement. 3.8 Final Consideration Adjustment For Tax Purposes If any payment is made by any Seller (a “Relevant Seller”) to the Purchaser in respect of any claim for any breach of this Agreement (including any breach of warranty) or any other Transaction Document or pursuant to Clause 12 with respect to any adjustments for tax purposes, the payment shall so far as legally possible be treated as an adjustment to the Final Consideration paid by the Purchaser under this Agreement to the Relevant Seller and, in such circumstances, the Final Consideration shall be deemed to have been reduced by the amount of such payment. 4. COMPLETION 4.1 Completion shall take place electronically on the Completion Date upon receipt of: (a) the Initial Consideration into the Sellers’ Nominated Accounts in accordance with paragraph 2.1(b) of Schedule 2; (b) the Escrow Amount into the Escrow Account in accordance with paragraph 2.1(c) of Schedule 2; and (c) the share transfer forms executed by each Seller (in accordance with paragraph 1.1(c) of Schedule 2). 12 4.2 PSC Registers As soon as reasonably practicable following Completion, the Purchaser shall ensure that the PSC registers for each of the Group Companies incorporated in England and Wales are updated, reflecting the change of control that has taken place pursuant to the Transaction. 5. SELLERS’ FUNDAMENTAL WARRANTIES 5.1 Each Seller individually and severally warrants to the Purchaser that, in respect of itself only, the statements set out below are true and accurate as at the date of this Agreement: (a) it is the legal and beneficial owner of, and has the right to exercise all voting and other rights over, and is entitled to sell and transfer the full legal and beneficial ownership of, the Sale Shares listed opposite their respective names in Schedule 1; (b) it is validly existing and is duly incorporated under the law of its jurisdiction of incorporation; (c) the execution and delivery of, and performance by it of its obligations under, this Agreement and the Sellers’ Completion Documents will not: (i) result in a breach of any provision of its memorandum or articles of association, by-laws, equivalent constitutional document or any applicable law; (ii) result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound and which is material in the context of the Transaction; (iii) result in a breach of any order, judgment or decree of any court or governmental agency to which it is a party or by which it is bound and which is material in the context of the Transaction; or (iv) require it obtain any consent or approval of, or give any notice to or make any registration with, any governmental or other authority that has not been obtained or made at the date of this Agreement both on an unconditional basis and on a basis that cannot be revoked; (d) it is not insolvent or bankrupt under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, is not unable to pay its debts as they fall due and has not proposed or is not liable to any arrangement (whether by court process or otherwise) under which its creditors (or any group of them) would receive less than the amounts due to them; (e) it has the necessary legal right, power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform the Transaction Documents to which it is a party (the “Sellers’ Completion Documents”); and (f) the Sellers’ Completion Documents will, when executed by it, constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of it in accordance with their respective terms. 5.2 Each Seller individually and severally warrants to the Purchaser that . 5.3 Unless expressly provided in this Agreement, each of the Sellers’ Fundamental Warranties shall be separate and independent and shall not be limited by reference to any other paragraph or anything in this Agreement. 13 6.

SPECIAL INDEMNITIES 12.1 Subject to the provisions of this Clause 12 and Clause 6.10, for a period of: (i) eighteen (18) months following the Completion Date in respect of only; and (ii) twelve (12) months following the Completion Date for any other matters covered by this Clause 12, the Majority Sellers shall severally (and not jointly) indemnify (in proportion to the Majority Sellers Portions) and keep indemnified the Purchaser, each Purchaser Affiliate and each Group Company from and against all and any losses (including, without limitation, any Tax or regulatory consequences) in connection with: (a) (b) (c) (d) and (e) (each an “Indemnified Matter”). 12.2 The Majority Sellers shall reimburse the Purchaser (for itself and on behalf of each Group Company), as applicable, for any losses incurred pursuant to Clause 12.1; provided that, the cumulative aggregate amount the Majority Sellers shall be responsible for shall not exceed . 12.3 The Majority Sellers shall not be liable in respect of any losses under this Clause 12 to the extent that such losses: (a) would not have occurred but for: (i) any act, omission or transaction of the Purchaser or any Group Company, or their respective representatives or successors in title, done, 20 committed or effected after the Completion Date outside of the ordinary and usual course of business; or (ii) any change in the accounting or tax principles or practices of the Group (including the length of any accounting period for tax purposes) introduced after the Completion Date ; (b) occur or to the extent increased directly or indirectly as a result of: (i) the passing of, or a change in, any applicable Law or any accounting standards, policies, principles and practices (not including any changes in rates of Tax) not in force on the date of this Agreement; or (ii) any change after the date of this Agreement of any published interpretation or application or practice of any of the foregoing by any governmental authority (including any Tax Authority); (c) are in respect of or constitute loss of profit, loss of goodwill, punitive damages or indirect, special or consequential damages or losses, save for such losses that are (i) reasonably foreseeable or (ii) paid or payable to a third-party pursuant to a binding legal judgment or penalty imposed by a court or other governmental or regulatory authority; or (d) are recovered under any policy of insurance in force at the date of this Agreement or to the extent such losses have been made good or are otherwise compensated for without cost to the Purchaser or the Group Companies. 12.4 A claim under this Clause 12 shall be payable by the Majority Sellers to the Purchaser following: (a) agreement in writing by the Majority Sellers and the Purchaser; (b) determination by a governmental or regulatory authority; or (c) such losses being the subject of a binding court judgment that determines the Majority Sellers’ liability. 12.5 The Purchaser (for itself and on behalf of each relevant Group Company) and the Majority Sellers shall comply with all relevant procedures for claims made pursuant to this Clause 12 which are governed by Schedule 6, provided that the failure of Purchaser or any Group Company to comply with such procedures shall not relieve the Majority Sellers of liability unless such failure was actually prejudicial to either or both Majority Sellers. 12.6 If the Majority Sellers make a payment in respect of an Indemnified Matter (the “Indemnified Payment”) and within twelve (12) months of the date of such payment: (a) any Group Company, or the Purchaser: (i) receives any cash sum other than from a Majority Seller which would not have been received but for the damages or liabilities giving rise to that Indemnified Matter; or (ii) benefits from any reduction in liability in relation to the relevant Indemnified Matter but which is not the intended result of the payment by the Majority Sellers in respect of an Indemnified Matter (such amount, net of the reasonably incurred costs of recovery and Tax incurred thereon, being the “Third Party Sum”); (b) the Third Party Sum was not taken into account in calculating the Indemnity Payment Amount; and (c) the aggregate of the Third Party Sum and the Indemnified Payment exceeds the amount required to compensate the Purchaser in full for the damages or liabilities arising from that Indemnified Matter (such excess being the “Excess Recovery Amount”), the Purchaser shall promptly (and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days) following receipt of the Excess Recovery Amount by the Purchaser or the relevant Group Company (as applicable), provided that the Purchaser is aware at such time that the Third Party Sum is an Excess Recovery Amount (and if not, the fifteen (15) Business Day period shall apply from the date the Purchaser 21 becomes so aware), pay in cash to the Majority Sellers pro rata to the Majority Sellers Portions the Excess Recovery Amount. 12.7 The sole remedy of the Purchaser, the Purchaser's Group, any affiliates of the Purchaser's Group or of any Group Company against the Majority Sellers with respect to the Indemnified Matters shall be under this Clause 12 (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not under any of the other Transaction Documents). 12.8 To the extent that any liability for Tax in respect of which a payment has been made under Clause 12.1(b) results in any member of the Purchaser’s Group obtaining a Relief, the Purchaser shall pay to the relevant Majority Sellers, within 15 Business Days of utilising the benefit of such Relief to receive a refund of Tax or reduce an actual liability to Tax, an amount equal to the value of such refund or reduction, provided that such Relief has been obtained and utilized within twenty- four (24) months following the Completion Date. 12.9 Without limiting the Parties’ rights and obligations under this Clause 12 and Schedule 6 the Purchaser (itself and on behalf of each relevant Group Company) shall procure that all reasonable steps are taken and all reasonable assistance is given to avoid or mitigate any loss or damage which in the absence of mitigation might give rise to an indemnity claim under this Clause 12. Nothing in this Clause 12 is intended to impose any liability on the Majority Sellers in respect of any losses or damages which would not have arisen but for a failure to mitigate by the Purchaser or a Group Company. 12.10 The Purchaser warrants to the Majority Sellers that 13. FURTHER ASSURANCE 13.1 Each of the Sellers undertakes to execute and deliver (at its own cost) all such instruments and other documents and take all such actions as the Purchaser may from time to time reasonably require in order to effect the transfer of the Sale Shares to the Purchaser. 13.2 Each of the Parties severally undertakes to take all reasonable steps within their powers as any other Party may from time to time reasonably require in order to secure to the other Parties the full benefit of this Agreement. 14. EFFECT OF COMPLETION The provisions of this Agreement and of the other Transaction Documents that remain to be performed following Completion shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding Completion taking place. 15. ASSIGNMENT Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, no Party may assign, transfer, create an Encumbrance, declare a trust of or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its rights, benefits or obligations under this Agreement, save that: (a) each Seller may assign (in whole or in part) the benefit of this Agreement to any member of that Seller’s Group; provided that, if such assignee ceases to be a member of such Seller’s Group, all benefits relating to this Agreement assigned to such assignee shall be 22 deemed automatically by that fact to be re-assigned to the relevant Seller immediately before such cessation; and (b) the Purchaser may assign (in whole or in part) the benefit of this Agreement to any other member of the Purchaser’s Group; provided that if such assignee ceases to be a member of the Purchaser’s Group, all benefits relating to this Agreement assigned to such assignee shall be deemed automatically by that fact to be re-assigned to the Purchaser immediately before such cessation; provided that any such assignee shall not be entitled to receive under this Agreement any greater amount than that to which the assignor would have been entitled, and neither the Purchaser nor any Seller, as applicable, shall be under any greater obligation or liability than if such assignment had never occurred. 16. PAYMENTS 16.1 Any payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in full, without any set-off, counterclaim and without any deduction or withholding, save only as required by law, or as otherwise agreed. 16.2 If a Seller or the Purchaser defaults on the payment when due of any sum payable under any Transaction Document, its liability shall be increased to include interest on such sum from the date when such payment is due until the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgement) at a rate per annum of five per cent (5%) from the due date until the date of payment (whether before or after judgement). Such interest shall accrue from day to day and shall be compounded monthly and shall be paid on demand of the person entitled to it. 16.3 All amounts expressed to be payable to: (a) any of the Sellers pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be paid to the relevant Seller’s Nominated Account or, if any such payment is to be made post-Completion, to such other account as notified in writing by such Seller and the receipt of each such amount into the relevant account shall be an absolute discharge to the Purchaser of the obligation to pay such amount, and the Purchaser shall not be concerned to see to the application or allocation of any such amount thereafter; or (b) the Purchaser pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be paid to the Purchaser’s Nominated Account or to such other account as notified in writing by the Purchaser and the receipt of each such amount into the relevant account shall be an absolute discharge to the relevant Seller of the obligation to pay such amount, and such Seller shall not be concerned to see to the application or allocation of any such amount thereafter. 16.4 Any payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be effected by crediting for same day value the account specified by the relevant Seller or the Purchaser (as the case may be) on behalf of the Party entitled to the payment (reasonably in advance and in sufficient details to enable payment by telegraphic or other electronic means to be effected) on or before the due date for payment. 16.5 Payment of a sum in accordance with this Clause 16 shall constitute a payment in full of the sum payable and shall be a good discharge to the payer (and those on whose behalf such payment is made) of the payer’s obligation to make such payment, and the payer (and those on whose behalf such payment is made) shall not be obliged to see to the application of the payment as between those on whose behalf the payment is received. 17.
