6.21: Repetition of Warranties

The Warranties in Sections 6.1-6.5 and 6.19 shall be deemed to be repeated immediately before Closing by reference to the facts and circumstances then existing as if references in the Warranties to the Signing Date were references to the date of Closing. All other Warranties are given as per the Signing Date.

6.22: Notification of breach

The Sellers undertake to notify the Buyer in writing promptly if they (until Closing) becomes aware of any circumstance arising after the date of this Agreement which would cause any breach of any of the Warranties in Sections 6.1-6.5 or 6.19 (if such Warranties were repeated with reference to the facts and circumstances then existing).

6.23: No set-off

If the Sellers have a liability arising under any obligations under this Agreement then any amounts due in satisfaction of that liability shall be paid in full without deduction or retention. The Sellers hereby waive and relinquish any right of set-off or counterclaim which they may have in respect of the payment of any such amount.

(c): require any consent by the members of the Buyer, or any class of them, which has not been unconditionally and irrevocably obtained; or
(d): result in a breach of any applicable law order, judgement or decree of any court or governmental agency or of any agreement to which the Buyer is a party or by which the Buyer is bound;

which, in each case, would affect its ability to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and/or any Transaction Document to which it is a Party.

7.2.3: The Buyer is not aware of any fact or circumstance which would entitle the Buyer to make a Claim against the Sellers.

9: Buyer's rights to terminate
9.1: If, during the period between the Signing Date and Closing, the Buyer becomes aware of any facts, matters or events (whether existing at the Signing Date or occurring between the Signing Date and the Closing Date) which (whether individually or in the aggregate) constitute a material breach of any of the Warranties set forth in Sections 6.1-6.5 (inclusive) or 6.19 as with regard to the covenants set out in Section 10.1 (i)-(iv), the Buyer may, by written notice given to the Sellers at any time before Closing, terminate this Agreement (other than the Surviving Provisions), provided that the Seller has been given opportunity to remedy the breach (if such breach is capable of remedy) and such breach has not been remedied within 45 days of the service of written notice by the Buyer in accordance with this Section 9.1.

The Parties agree that the Sellers' failure to deliver up to 149,850 Shares and/or any or all of the Warrants to the Buyer on Closing shall not constitute a material breach of any of the aforesaid Warranties which entitle the Buyer to terminate this Agreement. Instead, in such event, the Buyer shall, without prejudice to the other provisions of this Section 9.1, be obliged to consummate the Proposed Transaction but the Purchase Price payable by the Buyer on Closing shall be reduced on a pro rata basis and the Sellers shall compensate the Buyer for any Losses (including any obligation to pay a higher price for such shares than payable under this Agreement) incurred by the Buyer or any Target Company in connection with a compulsory purchase (Sw. tvångsinlösen) of such Shares or Warrants not delivered to the Buyer on Closing.

9.2: The Sellers undertake to disclose promptly to the Buyer in writing any breach, matter, event, condition, circumstance, fact or omission of which any of the Sellers is or becomes aware of that may give rise to a right of termination under Section 9.1.

10.2.2: Pending Closing, the Buyer and the Sellers shall use their reasonable efforts to ensure that certain key managers and representatives of the Buyer meet to a reasonable extent, on a bi-weekly basis in order for such key managers to update the Buyer's representatives on recent developments in the Business and to report on current trading and to plan or the integration of the Business following Closing.

11: Breach and Indemnification
11.1: Purchase Price Reduction and Indemnification

Subject to Sections 11.2 and 11.4, in the event of a breach of any of the Warranties or the Covenants the Buyer shall, as its sole and exclusive remedy, be entitled to a reduction of the Purchase Price with an amount corresponding to the Losses.

11.2: Limitation of Liability

The Warranties (other than the Warranties set forth in Sections 6.1-6.5 (inclusive) and (subject, however, to Section 11.2.3) 6.19) are subject to the following limitations:

11.2.1: The Sellers shall not be liable for any breach of any Warranty in respect of any Claim unless the aggregate amount of all Claims for which the Sellers would otherwise be liable for breach of any Warranty (disregarding the provisions of this Section 11.2.1), exceeds EUR one million five hundred thousand (1,500,000), in which case the entire amount of the Claims and not only the excess shall be payable. For the purposes hereof no individual Claim which is less than EUR two hundred and fifty thousand (250,000) shall be taken into account.
11.2.2: The aggregate of the liability of the Sellers in respect of all Claims and any liability for breach of the Covenants set out in Section 10.1 (v)-(xv) shall in no event exceed EUR twelve million five hundred thousand (12,500,000).
11.2.3: The Sellers shall not be liable for breach of any Warranty in respect of any Claim unless notice in writing of any such Claim, accompanied by reasonable particulars thereof specifying the nature of the Claim and, as far as practicable, the amount of the Claim, has been given to the Sellers without undue delay from the day when the Buyer became aware of the circumstances giving rise to the Claim. In no event may any Claim, or claim for compensation under any of the Covenants be raised after the day occurring twelve (12) months after the Closing Date.

Any such Claim which may be made, which has not been previously satisfied, settled or withdrawn, shall be deemed to have been withdrawn six (6) months subsequent to when the Claim was made, unless legal proceedings in respect thereof by then have been commenced against the Sellers. This shall, however, not apply to Claims which relate to matter described under Section 11.2.7 (d) as long as recovery proceedings are ongoing against Canal + Investments B.V. and/or Vivendi Universal S.A.

11.2.4: For the purposes of this Agreement the Sellers shall not be liable to make a payment under a Claim in respect of a liability, which is contingent, until such contingent liability becomes an actual liability and is due and payable.
11.2.5: If any Loss is a tax deductible item, or relates to an untaxed reserve, the recoverable Loss shall be reduced by an amount equivalent to the Loss multiplied by the actual corporate tax rate applicable in the relevant jurisdiction of the Company or the Subsidiaries (or, as the case may be, the Buyer) during the relevant fiscal year. No Claim may be made by the Buyer relating to Taxation unless the amount of such Claim exceeds the value of the tax losses carried forward available to the Company or, as the case may be, any of the Subsidiaries, immediately following Closing. Furthermore, in the event of a reassessment (or similar) by a Taxation authority, the effect of which is to shift a Taxation liability from one fiscal year to another shall give rise to indemnification only insofar as the relevant company is required to pay a penalty or interest in addition thereto. Similarly, any additional Taxation, such as value-added tax, which is recoverable shall give rise to indemnification only insofar as a penalty or interest in relation thereto is required to be paid.

11.2.6

No Claim may be made if the facts and circumstances giving rise to the Claim have been fairly disclosed to the Buyer in the Disclosure Letter. Furthermore, no Claim may be made if the facts and circumstances giving rise to the Claim have been disclosed to the Buyer during the Buyer's due diligence review or which were otherwise known, to the Buyer or the Buyer's advisors prior to the Signing Date, however only to the extent that the Buyer should reasonably have concluded that such facts or circumstances constituted a breach of Warranty.

11.2.7

No liability shall arise if and to the extent that any Claim

(a): occurs as a result of the passing of any legislation not in force at the Signing Date, or which takes effect retrospectively, or occurs as a result of any increase in the tax rate in force on the Signing Date or any change in the generally established practise of the relevant tax authorities;
(b): is capable of recovery under an insurance policy under a binding and enforceable entitlement for a Target Company to recover the same under such insurance policy;
(c): would not have arisen but for an act, omission or transaction carried out by the Buyer, the Company or the Subsidiaries after the Closing Date otherwise than pursuant to a legally binding commitment to which any of the Target Companies is subject on or before Closing or outside the ordinary course of business where the direct result of such act, omission or transaction ought to have been reasonably foreseeable to the Buyer; and
(d): would otherwise be recoverable from Canal + Investments B.V. or Vivendi Universal S.A. pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement between Canal + Investments B.V. and the Company regarding the Company's purchase of all outstanding shares in C More Entertainment dated 8 September 2003, under a binding and enforceable entitlement for the Company to recover the same under such agreement in which case the principles set out in Section 11.3.2 below shall apply mutantis mutantis.

11.2.8

The remedy provided for in this Section 11 in case of a breach of any Warranty, covenant or agreement made or to be performed by the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement shall be exclusive and hence it is specifically agreed that no remedy whatsoever under the Sale of Goods Act (Sw. Köplagen (1990:931)) or under any other statute, law or legal principle, including (but not limited to) the right to rescind this Agreement, shall be available to the Buyer.

11.3

Third Party Claims and Recovery

11.3.1

In the case of the Buyer, or the Target Companies becoming aware of any fact or set of circumstances which are likely to give rise to a Third Party Claim (which could result in a Claim), the Buyer shall either itself, or shall procure that the Target Companies shall, subject to the Sellers indemnifying the Buyer and other members of the Buyer Group against all Losses (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.2):

(a): as soon as reasonably practicable give written notice of it to the Sellers;
(b): not make any admission of liability, agree to settle or compromise with, or take any action whatsoever against, any person, body or authority in relation to it, without obtaining the prior written consent of the Sellers;
(c): have due regard to the Sellers' interest in disputing, compromising, defending such Claim;
(d): give the Sellers, or the Sellers' duly authorised representatives, reasonable access free of charge to the personnel of the Buyer or the Target Companies during normal business hours, as the case may be, and to any relevant premises, accounts, documents and records within their respective possession, and to take copies of them, in order to enable the Sellers, or the Sellers' duly authorised representatives, to examine the basis of any potential Third Party

Claim subject to such persons entering into confidentiality undertakings on terms reasonably acceptable to the Buyer.

11.3.2: If a Third Party Claim that could lead to a Claim should come to the knowledge of the Buyer, or the Target Companies subject to the Sellers indemnifying the Buyer and other members of the Buyer Group against all Losses (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.2), the Buyer, upon the Sellers' written request, shall afford the Sellers the right to dispute and defend such Third Party Claim, in the name of the Company or the relevant Subsidiary (as appropriate). The Buyer shall ensure that the Company or the relevant Subsidiary will grant to the Sellers all authorisations and all assistance necessary to enable the Sellers to dispute and defend any such Claim. Should the Buyer not afford the Sellers the right to dispute and defend such Third Party Claim, the potential Claim arising as a result of such Third Party Claim shall be deemed waived by the Buyer.
11.3.3: If the Sellers makes any payment to the Buyer as a settlement of a Claim and the Buyer or the Target Companies have the right to recover from any third party any amount that has formed the basis of the Claim, the Buyer shall promptly and on written request from the Sellers assign that right to the Sellers.
11.3.4: The provisions of Section 11.3.2 shall not apply in respect of any Third Party Claim if the Sellers do not notify the Buyer in writing of their intention to exercise their rights pursuant to the relevant paragraphs in respect of such Third Party Claim within 15 Business Days of the Buyer giving notice pursuant to Section 11.3.1 above. If the Sellers do not give notice during such period, the Buyer shall thereafter be entitled in its absolute discretion (but always subject to the Buyer's and the Target Companies' obligation to mitigate its and the Target Companies' loss) to discharge, settle, compromise, or resist any action, proceedings or claim against any member of the Buyer Group out of which the Third Party Claim may arise.
11.3.5: If the Sellers take over the conduct of proceedings and/or negotiations under the provisions of Section 11.3.2, the Sellers shall keep the Buyer informed of proposed meetings with any relevant third party, allow an observer appointed on behalf of the Buyer to attend such meetings and advise the Buyer of the outcome of meetings and discussions to which any such observer was not a party or at which he was not present.
11.4: Sole Recourse

In the event that the Sellers are liable to the Buyer in respect of a Claim or any other claim under this Agreement or a Transaction Document then the provisions of Section 8 shall apply and the Sellers shall not be required to make any payment in respect of such Claim or claim, other than as provided for in Section 8.

12: Payments
12.1: Any payment to be made pursuant to this Agreement by the Buyer or any member of the Buyer Group shall be made to the Sellers' Bank Account in immediately available funds by electronic transfer in Euro on the due date for payment, or such other account as the Sellers shall nominate in writing. Receipt of such sums in the relevant bank account shall be an effective discharge of the obligation of the Buyer to pay such sums to the Sellers and the Buyer shall not be concerned to see to the application or be answerable for loss or misapplication of such amount amongst the Sellers or otherwise.
12.2: Any payment to be made pursuant to this Agreement by the Sellers shall be made to the Buyer's Bank Account in immediately available funds by electronic transfer in Euro on the due date for payment, or such other account as the Buyer shall nominate in writing. Receipt of such sums in the relevant bank account shall be an effective discharge of the obligation of the Sellers to pay

such sums to the Buyer, as the case may be, and the Sellers shall not be concerned to see to the application or be answerable for loss or misapplication of such amount.

12.3: If any sum due for payment under or in accordance with this Agreement is not paid on the due date (the "Due Date"), the person in default shall pay Default Interest on that sum (the "Due Sum") from but excluding the Due Date to and including the date of actual payment calculated on a daily basis.
13: Confidentiality

Each Party undertakes not to use or disclose the existence of this Agreement, any financial information, trade secrets, customer lists or other information which it may from time to time receive or obtain (orally or in writing or in disc or electronic form) as a result of entering into or performing its obligations pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, relating to any of the Target Companies which is not in the public domain unless (i) required to do so by law or pursuant to any order of court or other competent authority or tribunal (ii) required to do so by any applicable stock exchange regulations or the regulations of any other recognised market place (iii) such disclosure has been consented to by the other Party in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) or (iv) the information is disclosed to its professional advisers who are bound to such Party by a duty of confidence which applies to any information disclosed. If a Party becomes required, in circumstances contemplated by (i) or (ii) to disclose any information, the disclosing Party shall use its reasonable endeavours to consult with the other Party prior to any such disclosure.

A Party shall, however, not be prevented from, after reasonable consultation with the other Party in advance as to the form, content and timing of any such announcement or disclosure, disclosing such information which is required under applicable law, pursuant to any order of court or other competent authority or tribunal, or by applicable stock exchange or any other recognised market place or governmental or other regulatory or supervisory body or authority of competent jurisdiction to whose rules the Party making the announcement or disclosure is subject, whether or not having the force of law.
