5.9

If any of the Conditions is not fully satisfied or (if applicable) waived under clause 5.10 by the date applicable to such Condition, this agreement will automatically terminate and cease to have any further force and effect except that this clause 5.9 and clauses 1, 5.8, 5.14, 10, 15 to 28 (inclusive) will continue to have force and effect in accordance with the their terms (Surviving Provisions). In that case no party will have any claim against any other in respect of this agreement whether under this agreement or any document referred to in it, by statute, common law or otherwise except in respect of any claim for any breach of clause 5 (excluding (i) any claim against the Sellers in respect of the Condition in clause 5.1.1 not being satisfied (except if the Sellers have not acted in good faith in respect of satisfaction of that Condition) or in respect of the Condition in clause 5.1.1 not being satisfied for which (in each case) termination of this agreement shall be the sole remedy of the Buyer and the Buyer Guarantor, and (ii) any claim against the Buyer in respect of the Condition in clause 5.1.3 not being satisfied (except if the Buyer has not acted in good faith in respect of satisfaction of that Condition) for which the remedies shall be the termination of this agreement and payment by the Buyer of the break fee under clause 5.14 and (if applicable) the costs and expenses under clause 5.8), or in respect of any future breach of any of the Surviving Provisions.

5.10

The Buyer may in its absolute discretion waive any of the Conditions specified in clauses 5.1.1 and 5.1.2 by giving notice to the Sellers (in the case of the Condition specified in clause 5.1.1) on or before the date applicable to such Condition and (in the case of the Condition specified in clause 5.1.2) on or prior to completion of the Listing, and in that case the Buyer and the Buyer Guarantor shall have no claim whether under this agreement or any document referred to in it, by statute, common law or otherwise against the Sellers in respect of any failure to satisfy any of the Conditions so waived by the Buyer.

5.11

The Buyer may in its absolute discretion extend the then current Long-Stop Date in increments of one calendar month (subject to clause 5.12) at any time prior to that Long-Stop Date by notice in writing to the Sellers if the Condition specified in clause 5.1.3 will not, or (in the opinion of the Buyer) is reasonably unlikely to, be satisfied before that Long-Stop Date, provided that the Buyer shall (subject to clause 5.13 and only if the Condition in clause 5.1.3 is ultimately satisfied before the end of the extended Long-Stop Date) pay to the Sellers the Daily Extension Amount for each day that the Long-Stop Date is extended under this clause (totalling a maximum of US$500,000 for each full calendar month) up to and including the date when the said Condition is satisfied or the last day of the calendar month if the said Condition is not satisfied.

5.12

The Buyer shall only be entitled to extend the Long-Stop Date under clause 5.11 on two separate occasions, one being on or before 31 July 2014 and the other being at any time between 1 August 2014 and 31 August 2014 (inclusive) so that (unless a different Long-Stop Date is agreed between the Buyer and in their absolute discretion the Sellers) the Long-Stop Date may not be extended by the Buyer beyond 30 September 2014.

5.13

In the event that the Buyer extends the Long-Stop Date in accordance with clauses 5.11 and 5.12 and the Condition specified in clause 5.1.3 is satisfied on or before the extended Long-Stop Date, the aggregate amount payable under, and in accordance with, clause 5.11 will be payable to the Sellers in the proportions specified alongside their respective names in column (4) of Schedule 1 on the date of Completion and will constitute an increase in the Cash Consideration and therefore the Purchase Price.

5.14

Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement, if the Condition specified in clause 5.1.3 is not satisfied before the end of the Long-Stop Date (whether or not extended under this clause 5) and Completion does not take place then the Buyer or the Buyer Guarantor shall pay a break fee of US$350,000 (plus value added tax if applicable) in aggregate to the Companies in the proportions fifty (50) per cent to TML and fifty (50) per cent to 10M within 30 days after the end of the Long-Stop Date or the last extended Long-Stop Date as the case may be and each of the Companies shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this clause 5.14 and clause 14 in respect of such break fee.

5.15	Any payments to the Companies by the Buyer under this clause 5 will be paid to the Companies by way of remittance of that amount by telegraphic transfer to the Sellers' Solicitors' Bank Account.

The Sellers irrevocably and unconditionally waive any rights they may have against (and undertake not to claim against or pursue any action to join as a third party or seek contribution or indemnity from) the Companies or any of their officers, agents or employees. This clause 6.7 does not preclude any Seller from claiming against any other Seller under any right of contribution or indemnity to which that Seller may be entitled.

6.9	The provisions of Schedule 4 will limit the liability of the Sellers as provided in that Schedule.

7.3.1

7.4	Without prejudice to clause 7.3, if the Sellers disclose any matter or thing to the Buyer under clause 7.2 (whether or not it would constitute a Material Adverse Change) and which:-

9.	RIGHT OF SET-OFF

9.1

If after Completion at any time before the date or dates on which any amount payable by the Buyer to any of the Sellers in respect of the Earn-out Consideration pursuant to Schedule 10 the Buyer and/or the Company has made any claim against any Seller under this agreement (whether under the Warranties or otherwise) (a Claim) and the Claim has not at that date been paid or satisfied by the Sellers under this agreement:

9.1.1

if the Claim has been both settled and an amount payable determined by the settlement in question in accordance with clauses 9.4 to 9.6 (inclusive) in favour of the Buyer and/or either or both of the Companies, the Buyer shall deduct from the outstanding Earn-out Consideration payable by the Buyer the amount determined as payable in respect of the Claim;

9.1.2

if the amount of the Claim has not been fully settled in accordance with clauses 9.4 to 9.6 (inclusive) the Buyer will, subject to service by the Buyer on the Sellers of a Set-Off Notice, on the due date for payment (of any or all of the outstanding Earn-out Consideration payable by the Buyer) place on cash deposit in a separate account to be opened by the Buyer and the Sellers an amount equal to the Estimated Liability.

9.2

When any Claim in respect of which a payment has been placed on cash deposit under this clause 9 has been both settled and an amount payable determined by the settlement in question in accordance with clauses 9.4 to 9.6 (inclusive) in favour of the Buyer and/or either or both of the Companies, an amount of the cash deposit equal to the amount determined as payable will promptly be paid to the Buyer.

9.3

Where all Claims have been both fully settled and the amount payable to the Buyer and/or either or both of the Companies, if any, determined by a settlement or settlements in accordance with clauses 9.4 to 9.6 (inclusive) and the amount determined as payable to the Buyer and/or either or both of the Companies has been paid to the Buyer and/or the relevant Company, the balance (if any) of the cash deposit will be released to the Sellers. Any money payable to the Sellers under this clause will be paid to the Sellers' Solicitors on behalf of the Sellers.

9.4	For the purposes of this clause 9 a Claim is deemed to be settled if:

9.4.1

it is agreed in writing by the Buyer to be withdrawn or discontinued;

9.4.2

the Sellers and the Buyer agree in writing that it is;

9.4.3

subject to clause 9.5, it is decided by a court of competent jurisdiction at first instance; or

9.4.4

the Buyer files a notice of acceptance of an offer made by the Sellers under Part 36 of the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 or a notice of acceptance of an offer made by the Buyer under Part 36 of the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 is filed by the Sellers.

9.5	For the purposes of clause 9.4.3 any set-off or payment made following such a first instance decision shall not preclude any party from further appealing such decision notwithstanding that such set-off or payment shall have been made.

9.6

For the purpose of clauses 9.1 and 9.2, a Claim may be settled more than once for example (without limitation) where only part of the Claim is settled in one way and the rest continues to be dealt with another way or if damages or quantum are determined, but not costs or costs are determined, but not quantum. Clauses 9.1 and 9.2 will apply, each time that part of the Claim is settled, provided that an amount is determined as being payable to the Buyer and/or either or both of the Companies by the settlement in question. References in this clause 9 to fully settled are to the whole Claim (and not part only of it) being settled so that no costs order or award of damages is awaited and no part of the Claim awaits decision or resolution in any way.

9.7

The release of any amount from the cash deposit in satisfaction of any Claim will be made first out of principal and then out of interest. Subject to that, and to the retention of any interest on cash deposit on account of any Claim which has not at the relevant time been fully settled, any interest earned on a principal amount released from cash deposit will be paid to the person receiving it at the same time as the principal is released.

9.8	For the avoidance of doubt, the set-off provision contained in clause 9.1 shall not apply to:

In consideration of the Sellers entering into this agreement and at the request of the Buyer, the Buyer Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally; guarantees to the Sellers due and punctual performance by the Buyer of all of its obligations under this agreement and all related documents (the Purchase Documents); undertakes with the Sellers that whenever the Buyer does not pay any amount or comply with any other material obligation when due under or in connection with any Purchase Document, the Buyer Guarantor will immediately on demand pay that amount or satisfy such material obligation as if it was the principal obligor; and agrees with the Sellers that if any obligation guaranteed by the Buyer Guarantor is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify the Sellers immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability they incurs as a result of the Buyer not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Purchase Document on the date when it would have been due. The amount payable by the Buyer Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this clause 14 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.

14.2	This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by or other obligation of the Buyer under the Purchase Documents, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

14.3

The obligations of the Buyer Guarantor will not be affected by any act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this clause, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this clause (without limitation and whether or not known to it, the Buyer or the Sellers) including any time, waiver, release or consent granted to, or composition with, the Buyer or any other person; any legal limitations, incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the status of the Buyer or any other person; any amendment, novation, supplement, extension, restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of a Purchase Document or any other document; any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under any Purchase Document; or any insolvency or similar proceedings.

14.4

If an amount becomes payable by the Buyer to the Sellers or the Buyer is obliged to fulfil any obligation in each case under or in connection with the Purchase Documents, until such amount or obligation has been irrevocably paid in full or satisfied in full and unless otherwise directed by the Sellers, the Buyer Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Purchase Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising under this clause 14:

14.4.1

to be indemnified by the Buyer;

14.4.2

to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Sellers under the Purchase Documents;

14.4.3

to exercise any right of set-off against the Buyer;

14.4.4

to claim or prove as a creditor of the Buyer in competition with the Sellers.

If the Buyer Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to those rights it will hold that benefit, payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Sellers by the Buyer under or in connection with the Purchase Documents on trust for the Sellers and will promptly pay or transfer them to the Sellers on demand.

14.5	The Buyer Guarantor warrants to the Sellers that:

14.5.1

the Buyer Guarantor has taken all action necessary (including by obtaining all necessary consents, waivers and licences) and has all necessary power and authority to enter into and perform the Purchase Documents which will, when executed, constitute binding and enforceable obligations on the Buyer Guarantor in accordance with their terms;

14.5.2

the execution and delivery of and the performance by the Buyer Guarantor of its obligations under the Purchase Documents will not:

(a)	result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, its constitution or under any agreement, instrument or arrangement to which the Buyer Guarantor is a party or by which the Buyer Guarantor is bound; or

(b)	result in a breach of any applicable law, rule, regulation or order, judgement or decree of any court or governmental agency to which the Buyer Guarantor is a party or by which it is bound.

14.5.3

the Buyer Guarantor is not insolvent, is able to pay its debts as they fall due and has not stopped or suspended payment of its debts;

14.5.4

no Insolvency Proceedings have been commenced against the Buyer Guarantor or (if applicable) any part of its assets, chattels, property or undertaking and there are no circumstances which would entitle any person to commence any Insolvency Proceedings in relation to the Buyer Guarantor or (if applicable) any part of its assets, chattels, property or undertaking; and

14.5.5

no other process has been initiated which could lead to the Buyer Guarantor being dissolved and its assets being distributed among its creditors, shareholders or other contributors or being struck off.

18.	CONTINUING AGREEMENT

This agreement (other than obligations which have already been performed) will remain in effect after Completion.

19.	FURTHER ASSURANCE

Each of the Parties agrees with the other to promptly execute and deliver any document or do anything which the Buyer may reasonably require at or after Completion to give full effect to the provisions of this agreement, including (without limitation) to:

19.1.1

vest in the Buyer (or as it directs) the legal and beneficial ownership of the Shares; and

vest in TML and 10M, or the other member of the Buyer's group as the Buyer may direct, ownership and title and all rights of the Seller in respect of all inventions and intellectual property owned by or vested in the Seller, which relate to the products of TML and 10M.

20.	ENTIRE AGREEMENT

This agreement (together with the documents referred to in it) constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the matters dealt with in it and supersedes any previous agreement between the parties in relation to them. Each party acknowledges that in entering into this agreement he or it has not relied on any statement, representation, warranty or undertaking (whether made verbally or in writing) except as expressly set out in the agreement or in any document referred to in it. Nothing in this agreement will, however, operate to limit or exclude any liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, wilful deception or deliberate concealment.

21.

REMEDIES

21.1	No party shall have any right to rescind this agreement for any reason.

21.2	No party shall have any right to terminate this agreement except as expressly provided in clauses 5.9 and 7.3.1.

22.	VARIATION AND WAIVER

22.1	No variation of any provision of this agreement will be valid unless it is in writing and signed by all the parties.

22.2

The failure to exercise or delay in exercising a right or remedy provided by this agreement or by law does not constitute a waiver of the right or remedy or a waiver of other rights or remedies. A waiver of a breach of any of the terms of this agreement or of a default under this agreement does not constitute a waiver of any other breach or default and will not affect the other terms of this agreement. A waiver of a breach of any of the terms of this agreement or of a default under this agreement will not prevent a party from subsequently requiring compliance with the waived obligation.

22.3

Any party may release or compromise the liability of any other party (Relevant Parties) under this agreement or grant to any Relevant Party time or other indulgence without affecting the liability of any other Relevant Party under this agreement. Where a liability of one or some but not all of the Relevant Parties under any obligation which is both joint and several is released or compromised, the remaining Relevant Parties whose obligation was not so released or compromised will continue to be severally and will together be jointly liable on that obligation and may not recover any sum from any Relevant Party whose obligation has been released or compromised which they would otherwise be entitled to recover from that Relevant Party in respect of that obligation.

22.4	Except as expressly provided otherwise in this agreement, Completion will not constitute a waiver of any breach of this agreement whether or not known at the time of Completion.

23.	SEVERABLE PROVISIONS

23.1

If any provision of this agreement (including under clause 11) is void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction then it will be severed from this agreement insofar as it relates to that jurisdiction only and that invalidity or unenforceability will not affect the other provisions of this agreement or the relevant provision in any other jurisdiction which will remain in full effect.

23.2

If any provision of this agreement (including under clause 11) is so found to be invalid or unenforceable but would be valid or enforceable if some part of the provision were deleted or the period, area or scope of application of the provision were reduced, the provision in question will apply with any modification(s) that may be necessary to make it valid and enforceable in the relevant jurisdiction but will continue to apply without any modification in all other relevant jurisdictions.

23.3

The parties agree, in the circumstances referred to in clause 23.1 and if clause 23.2 does not apply to attempt to substitute for any invalid or unenforceable provision in respect of any jurisdiction in which it has been held to be invalid or unenforceable a valid and enforceable provision which achieves to the greatest extent possible the same effect as would have been achieved by the provision which is invalid or unenforceable in that jurisdiction.

24.

PAYMENTS

24.1

If any payment of any amount required to be made under any provision of this agreement is not paid on the due date, that amount will carry interest calculated on a daily basis, after as well as before any judgment for it or the liquidation of the paying party, at the Prescribed Rate from the due date until the date of actual payment (both dates inclusive). That interest will be paid by the payer on demand to the person entitled to payment.

24.2

Any payment made to the Sellers' Solicitors (acting on behalf of the Sellers and, for the purposes of clause 5.15 only, the Companies) under the terms of this agreement will be deemed to be made to the Sellers or the Companies (or other persons entitled to the payment) (as the case may be) and will absolutely discharge the Buyer from the obligation to make the payment and the Buyer will not be liable to see to the application of it.

24.3

Where a provision in this agreement or the Tax Covenant provides that a payment be made by the Sellers to the Buyer, that payment will be treated as a reduction in the consideration for the Shares. This does not affect the liability of the Sellers to make any payment which, in aggregate, exceeds the purchase consideration for the Shares.

25.	WITHHOLDING AND GROSSING UP

25.1

All amounts payable by the Sellers or the Buyer under this agreement will be paid free and clear of any deduction or withholding except only as may be required by law. If any deduction or withholding is required by law, the Sellers or the Buyer (as the case may be) must pay an amount which will, after that deduction or withholding has been made, leave the Buyer or the Sellers (as the case may be) with the same amount as it would have been entitled to receive in the absence of the requirement to make the deduction or withholding.

25.2

If any amount payable by the Sellers to the Buyer or the Buyer to the Sellers under this agreement is subject to Tax in the hands of the Buyer or the Sellers (as the case may be), the same obligation to make an increased payment will apply in relation to that tax liability as if it were a deduction or withholding required by law but so that this clause will not apply to permit double recovery where the amount payable by the Sellers or the Buyer (as the case may be) under this agreement has already been increased to take account of the fact that it will be subject to Tax in the hands of the Buyer or the Sellers (as the case may be).

26.	THIRD PARTY RIGHTS

26.1

The provisions of clauses 5.8, 5.14, 6.7, 10, 11, 12 and 14 are intended to benefit each of the Companies, and (in the case of clause 6.7), its officers, agents and employees. Those provisions will be enforceable by them to the fullest extent permitted by law except that those provisions may be enforced by them only with the prior written consent of the Buyer.

26.2	The provisions of this agreement may be enforced by the parties' permitted assigns, as set out in clause 17.

26.3	Except as expressly stated otherwise in this agreement, no person other than a party to this agreement has a right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Xxx 0000 to rely on or enforce any term of it.

26.4	Notwithstanding any provision of this agreement, this agreement (and any provision of it) may be rescinded, amended or varied without the consent of any third party and section 2(1) of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Xxx 0000 will not apply.

27.	COUNTERPARTS

This agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be an original and all of which together will constitute the same instrument. The agreement will not be effective until all the parties have executed at least one counterpart.

28.	LAW AND JURISDICTION

This agreement and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it will be governed by and construed in accordance with English law. The parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.

SCHEDULE 4 - SELLERS' LIMITS

In this Schedule:

Warranty Claim means a claim for breach of any Warranty and Tax Claim means a claim for breach of any Tax Warranty or claim under the Tax Covenant.

Liability Cap means the aggregate sum of:

(a)

the amount of the Cash Consideration paid to the Sellers on or before the date the Buyer gives notice of the relevant claim to the Sellers pursuant to paragraph 4 of this Schedule 4 (“Claim Date”), less any amount of the Permitted Acquisition Price and Permitted Acquisition Costs paid to the Sellers on Completion;

(b)

plus the amount (if any) of the Earn-out Consideration paid to the Sellers pursuant to Schedule 10 at any time and from time to time plus the amount which would have been received by the Sellers as Earn-out Consideration if it had not been set off in respect of any claims under the agreement pursuant to clause 9;

(c)

plus US$54,000,000, provided that, if at any time after Completion the Sellers actually sell any of the Consideration Shares through a reputable broker in a bona fide arm's length sale either before the Claim Date or after the Claim Date but before the relevant claim has been settled by the Sellers and the amount received by the Sellers for each Consideration Share sold (the Sale Price) is less than the Exchange Price, then the US$54,000,000 figure shall be reduced by the aggregate amount (in US$) by which the Sale Price is less than the Exchange Price for all of the Consideration Shares sold at that Sale Price, and the Sellers agree that if they decide to sell any of the Consideration Shares after the Claim Date but before the relevant claim has been settled by the Sellers then they shall only sell such shares through the Buyer Guarantor’s brokers or to a third party as the Buyer Guarantor may decide,

provided that in any event the maximum aggregate liability cap shall not exceed the aggregate sum of US$104,000,000 plus any amount paid to the Sellers pursuant to clause 5.11 of this agreement.

1.	No liability will attach to the Sellers in respect of any Warranty Claim unless:

1.1	the aggregate liability of any or all of the Sellers in respect of that Warranty Claim exceeds £25,000; and

1.2

the aggregate liability of all the Sellers in respect of all Warranty Claims (excluding all Warranty Claims for which the Sellers have no liability by reason of paragraph 1.1 of this Schedule) exceeds £500,000 and in such circumstances the Sellers shall be liable for the full amount of all Warranty Claims and not just the excess.

The aggregate liability of the Sellers in respect of all Warranty Claims and Tax Claims will not exceed the Liability Cap. In the event of a Warranty Claim or Tax Claim being paid by the Sellers and then repaid (in whole or in part) under the provisions of paragraph 6 of this Schedule then, to the extent repaid, the Warranty Claim or Tax Claim will not constitute a Warranty Claim or Tax Claim for the purpose of this paragraph 2 with effect from the date of repayment to the Sellers.

3.	The individual aggregate liability of each Seller in respect of all Warranty Claims and Tax Claims will not exceed the percentage of the Liability Cap set out against the respective Seller's name in column (5) of Schedule 1.

4.	A claim will be wholly barred and unenforceable unless the Buyer gives the Sellers notice in writing of it, summarising the nature of the claim, within:

4.1	seven (7) years from the date of Completion in the case of any Tax Claim and the Sellers may not plead the Limitation Xxx 0000 in respect of that claim; or

4.2	eighteen (18) months from the date of Completion in the case of any other Warranty Claim.

A claim notified in accordance with paragraph 4 of this Schedule which is not previously satisfied, settled or withdrawn, will be wholly barred and unenforceable against the Sellers unless the Buyer has issued legal proceedings against the Sellers in respect of that claim within twelve (12) months of the date of such notice (given in accordance with paragraph 4 of this Schedule).

If a payment in respect of a Warranty Claim is made to the Buyer by any Seller and the Buyer subsequently recovers from a third party a sum which is referable to that Warranty Claim, the Buyer must promptly repay to the Seller an amount as is equal to the lesser of the amount recovered from the third party and the amount the Seller has paid to the Buyer minus all reasonable costs and reasonable expenses incurred by the Buyer in recovering that amount from the third party and minus any Tax payable by the Buyer on the amount recovered.

2.7

Any payments made pursuant to this Schedule will, so far as permissible by law, be treated as an adjustment to the consideration paid by the Buyer for the Shares under this agreement, provided that this paragraph 2.7 will not operate in any way to limit the liability of the Sellers under this Schedule or deem the consideration paid for the Shares to be less than zero.

3.2

If on or before the seventh anniversary of Completion, the auditors for the time being of the Company shall confirm in writing (at the request and expense of the Sellers) that any Tax Liability which has resulted in a payment having been made or becoming due from the Sellers under the Tax Covenant will give rise to a Relief for the Company (other than a Buyer's Relief) which would not otherwise have arisen, then as and when such Relief reduces a liability to make an actual payment of Tax (other than a liability for which the Buyer would be entitled to bring a Tax Claim), the amount of that reduction shall be dealt with in accordance with paragraph 3.3 below.

If at any time during (and prior to the end of) the Earn-out Period the Sellers are of the reasonable opinion that the First Tranche Target has been achieved or the Second Tranche Target has been achieved (the date of each such opinion being a Relevant Opinion Date), or if at the end of the Earn-out Period the Second Tranche has not become payable in accordance with this Schedule (the end of the Earn-out Period being the Relevant Earn-out Date) then:-

2.1.1

(in the case of a Relevant Opinion Date) the Sellers shall be entitled to; and

2.1.2

(in the case of the Relevant Earn-out Date) the Sellers shall,

as soon as possible after the Relevant Date and in any event on or before the date falling 10 Business Days after the Relevant Date, procure that a draft of the Revenue Statement is prepared and sent to the Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, the Sellers shall be entitled to require that the Revenue Statement is produced in accordance with this Schedule on two separate occasions only (following two separate Relevant Opinion Dates) during the Earn-out Period.

2.2	The draft Revenue Statement must be prepared in accordance with Part A of this Schedule and include a statement (the Revenue Statement) stating the amount of the Revenue and the calculation of that amount following the pro forma set out in Part B of this Schedule.

2.3

The Buyer may on or before the date falling 20 Business Days after submission to it of the Revenue Statement (the Response Deadline), notify the Sellers in writing (the Response Notice) that it does not agree with the amount of Revenue as stated in the Revenue Statement. The Response Notice must set out in reasonable detail the area(s) of disagreement and the adjustments (with a suitable explanation) which, in the reasonable opinion of the Buyer, are required to be made. The items not identified in the Response Notice as being in dispute will be deemed to be agreed. If no Response Notice is received by the Sellers on or before the Response Deadline, the Buyer will be deemed to have accepted the amount of the Revenue set out in the Revenue Statement and the relevant amount will (in the absence of fraud or manifest error) be final and binding on the parties.

2.4

If a Response Notice is received by the Sellers on or before the Response Deadline, the Buyer and the Sellers will have until the date falling 10 Business Days after the date on which the Response Notice is received (the Resolution Date) to agree the items in dispute and therefore the amount of the Revenue. The amounts so agreed will (in the absence of fraud or manifest error) be final and binding on the parties.

2.5

If a Response Notice is given and the amount of the Revenue does not become final and binding under paragraph 2.4 above by the Resolution Date then the matters outstanding or in dispute must be referred to the Expert for final decision in accordance with paragraph below and either the Buyer or the Sellers may make such referral to the Expert. The Expert will decide:

2.5.1

matters outstanding or in dispute and therefore what revisions (if any) are required to be made to the Revenue Statement in order for it to comply with this agreement; and

2.5.2

the amount of the Revenue.

2.6	No claim which the Buyer may have against the Sellers in respect of any breach of any of the Warranties or any of the other provisions of this agreement or under the Tax Covenant will be affected, waived or limited by the amount of the Revenue becoming binding on the Buyer under this Schedule.

2.7

Each party must procure (so far as they are reasonably able) that the Sellers and the Buyer and their respective Accountants are given any documents and information as are reasonably required by the other (and not including advice on the Revenue Statement given to a party by its own Accountants) for the purpose of preparing or reviewing the Revenue Statement and are given access on reasonable notice and during normal working hours to relevant personnel, records and information in the control of the relevant party.

2.8	The Sellers and the Buyer will each pay the costs of their own Accountants.

3.	REFERENCES TO EXPERT

3.1	Any matter or dispute which, under the terms of this agreement, is to be determined under this paragraph 3 will be determined by an independent firm of chartered accountants appointed under this clause (the Expert).

3.2

The Sellers and the Buyer will use reasonable endeavours to agree the identity of the Expert and terms of engagement complying with this agreement with that person by no later than the date 10 Business Days after either of the Buyer or the Sellers first requests the other to approve a named firm for the purpose and provides draft terms of engagement of that firm. If terms of engagement have not been signed by or on behalf of that firm, the Sellers and the Buyer by that date, either the Buyer or the Sellers may apply to have the Expert chosen by the President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. The Sellers and the Buyer will cooperate in good faith to agree terms of engagement complying with this agreement with the firm chosen (Terms) by no later than 15 Business Days after the date on which the terms of engagement of the firm chosen by the President are received by both of them. Neither will unreasonably withhold consent to the terms of engagement of the firm chosen.

3.3

If the Sellers and the Buyer fails to sign Terms, the firm chosen will be deemed to have been appointed on the Terms (if any) signed by the other and all the parties to this agreement will be bound by the terms of the appointment and able to enforce them as if they had been signed by them. The party which signs the terms (absent its proven fraud or wilful default) will not be liable to any of the other parties or any other person by reason of or otherwise in relation to that appointment. Without limiting the signing party's ability to agree the terms, the parties agree that the terms may (if the party which signs them deems fit) contain an indemnity in favour of the Expert and cap on the Expert's liability in terms not materially more onerous than typical terms agreed by the firm in question for expert determination instructions on transactions of a similar nature.

3.4	The Expert will act on the following basis:

3.4.1

as an expert and not as an arbitrator and his written determination will be final and binding on the parties (save in the event of fraud or manifest error, in which case the error must be rectified as soon as practical);

3.4.2

the Expert will only be required to decide the matters which this agreement provides should be decided by the Expert under this clause and not any additional or separate issues subsequently raised by the parties;

3.4.3

the Expert will provide his decision and any calculation, statement or accounts to be provided by the Expert in writing to the parties on or before the date falling 20 Business Days after the date of the Expert's engagement;

3.4.4

the Sellers and the Buyer may make representations to the Expert in writing (and each will copy their representations to the other party); and

3.4.5

except as set out in this paragraph 3, the Expert may decide on the procedure to be followed in reaching his decision.

3.5

The parties will each use all reasonable endeavours to co-operate with the Expert to enable the decision to be reached in the time provided in this agreement. They will give, and so far as they are able to do so will procure that the Company will give, the Expert all facilities, information and access to their respective premises and personnel, papers, books, accounts and records as the Expert may reasonably require for the purposes of the Expert's decision. If any party does not comply with any request within any time specified by the Expert, the Expert may make any assumption for the purposes of giving a decision under this agreement, including any decision to costs, as the Expert may decide.

3.6	The costs of the Expert (including the costs and fees of any advisers appointed by the Expert) will be shared equally by the Buyer on the one hand and the Sellers on the other, unless the Expert decides otherwise.

4.	SATISFACTION OF THE EARN-OUT CONSIDERATION

4.1	The Earn-out Payment shall be calculated as follows:-

4.1.1

if Revenue is equal to or less than GBP£18,072,288 the Earn-out Payment shall be US$0;

if Revenue is equal to or exceeds GBP£34,307,228 (the Second Tranche Target) the Earn-out Payment shall be US$10,000,000 (the Second Tranche).

4.2	The Earn-Out Payment for Revenue which falls within clause 4.1.2 above, shall be calculated as follows:

US$5,000,000 + US$ ((X / Y) x 5,000,000)

Where:

X = Revenue

Y = 34,307,228

4.3	For the avoidance of doubt, if the Revenue is less than GBP£18,072,289, no Earn-Out Payment will be payable to the Sellers and no Earn-out Payment will form part of the Purchase Price.

4.4

Subject to paragraph 4.5 below, if an Earn-out Payment is payable pursuant to paragraph 4.1 above after Revenue has been determined in accordance with paragraphs 2 and 3 of Part A of this Schedule then the Buyer will pay an amount to the Sellers by telegraphic transfer of immediately available funds to the Sellers' Solicitors' Bank Account as follows:-

4.4.1

4.4.2

if Revenue has been determined at the request of the Sellers during the Earn-out Period (following a Relevant Opinion Date) and the Second Tranche Target has been achieved, then the Second Tranche (less any amount already paid to the Sellers under paragraph 4.4.1 above) will be paid to the Sellers within 15 days of determination of the Revenue in accordance with paragraphs 2 and 3 of Part A of this Schedule;

4.4.3

if Revenue has been determined after the Relevant Earn-out Date (due to the Second Tranche not having already been paid or become payable to the Sellers under paragraph 4.4.2 above) and the First Tranche Target or the Second Tranche Target has been achieved, then the First Tranche (if the First Tranche Target has been achieved) or the Second Tranche (if the Second Tranche Target has been achieved), less any amount already paid to the Sellers under paragraph 4.4.1 above, will be paid to the Sellers within 15 days of determination of the Revenue in accordance with paragraphs 2 and 3 of Part A of this Schedule,

and in the event of any delay in payment by the Buyer on the due date for payment daily interest at the Prescribed Rate compounded monthly shall be paid in addition.

4.5

Subject to paragraph 4.6 below, if the Buyer or any member of the Buyer’s Group is in breach of any provision of paragraph 1.13 of Part C of this Schedule then all of the Earn-out Consideration irrespective of the amount of Revenue at the date of such breach shall become immediately due and payable to all of the Sellers without any right of set-off whether pursuant to clause 14 of this agreement or otherwise, irrespective of whether the amount of such Revenue as at the date of such breach would not have given rise to any payment of the Earn-out Consideration, and in the event of any delay in payment by the Buyer on the due date for payment under this paragraph daily interest at the Prescribed Rate compounded monthly shall be paid in addition.

4.6

Without prejudice to the Sellers rights under paragraphs 4.1 to 4.4 above, if the Buyer or any member of the Buyer’s Group is in breach of any provision of paragraph 1.13 of Part C of this Schedule and the breach occurs on or after the date which is 10 months after the date of this agreement and the Revenue (to be determined in accordance with paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Schedule) is at that point in time less than £13,722,891 then the acceleration of the payment of the Earn-out Consideration in accordance with paragraph 4.5 above shall not apply and the Earn-out Consideration shall not become immediately due and payable to the Sellers pursuant to that paragraph 4.5.

4.7

If,

4.7.1

any matters relating to the calculation of the Revenue are outstanding or in dispute (the Disputed Matters) and the Disputed Matters have been referred to the Expert for final decision in accordance with paragraph 3 above; and

4.7.2

the Expert has not given his final written determination of the Revenue (in accordance with paragraph 3 above) by 30 August 2015; and

4.7.3

the Buyer (acting in good faith) agrees in writing that the amount of the Revenue will, notwithstanding any decision of the Expert on the Disputed Matters, exceed one or more of the thresholds in paragraph 4.1 above,

then the Buyer will pay the Earn-out Payment corresponding to the relevant threshold (referred to in paragraph 4.7.3) within 5 Business Days after the later of (i) 30 August 2015, and (ii) the date of the Buyer's written agreement under paragraph 4.7.3 by telegraphic transfer of immediately available funds to the Sellers' Solicitors' Bank Account. For the avoidance of doubt, if any payment is made to the Sellers pursuant to this clause 4.7 then this payment will reduce the amount of the Earn-out Payment (if any) to be paid to the Sellers (in accordance with paragraph 4.4 above) following the final decision of the Expert.

4.8	The Earn-out Payment will be divided between the Sellers in the proportions specified alongside their respective names in column (4) of Schedule 1.
