(1) the Business shall be supported and operated in accordance with bona fide commercial principles, including maintaining staffing and resource levels that are not materially less than those available to the Company at Closing and shall not, for the avoidance of doubt, divert core Company resources (including, but not limited to, R&D capability) to projects for the Purchaser Group that are entirely unrelated to Company or materially alter the work of members of the Management Team in a manner that it is reasonably foreseeable will have a detrimental impact on the Company’s ability to achieve its R&D contractual obligations to the Company’s customers (as in place at the Closing) which are necessary to achieve the EBITDA Target, the Gross Profit Target or the Revenues Target during the Earn-Out Period);

(2) notwithstanding the foregoing Section 2.04(a), no act on the part of the Purchaser or any members of the Purchaser Group shall take place where one of the main purposes of such act is to artificially reduce the likelihood of the EBITDA Target, the Gross Profit Target or the Revenues Target being met during the Earn-Out Period;

(3) save for a disposal by a member of the Purchaser’s Group to a third party of a business of which the Business comprises no more than 5%, there shall be no sale, transfer or disposal of the Company Shares, or any material part of the Business or assets of the Company to any person or entity outside the Purchaser Group without the Purchaser as part of such sale, disposal or transfer putting in place appropriate measures to ensure the obligations to the Sellers under this Section 2.04 shall be duly discharged;

(6) no resolution to wind up the Company will be passed or proposed (save in circumstances of insolvency); and

(7) no member of the Management Team shall be terminated, other than for Cause.

The Selling Shareholders’ Representative shall be entitled to request and attend a meeting with the Purchaser to review such reports. It is recognized that matters relevant to such report and matters discussed at such a meeting may be commercially sensitive and the Purchaser shall be entitled to redact or exclude names or figures, provided that it shall use its reasonable endeavors to submit a report that permits the Selling Shareholders’ Representative to make an assessment on progress towards achievement of EBITDA Target, the Gross Profit Target or the Revenues Target.

(c) In the event the Purchaser fails to fulfil its obligations pursuant to Section 2.04(a) then the calculation of the EBITDA Based Earn-Out Consideration, the Profit Based Earn-Out Consideration and the Revenues Based Earn-Out Consideration shall be adjusted to compensate for the effect of such event, on the basis agreed in writing between the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representatives (or failing agreement, as determined in accordance with the procedure set out in Section 2.09, amended accordingly).

(3) All of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall be borne by the Purchaser and the Selling Shareholders as determined by the Independent Account, or if there is no determination, fifty percent (50%) by the Purchaser and fifty percent (50%) by the Selling Shareholders.

Section 2.10 Treatment of Options.

(a) At the Effective Time -

(1) each Company Option Agreement shall have been exercised by way of a “cashless exercise,” and the holder thereof shall have been issued such number of Ordinary Shares to be sold hereunder, and such holder shall be a Selling Shareholder.

(2) each Personal Option Agreement shall have been exercised and the relevant number of Ordinary Shares shall have been transferred to the relevant Option Seller who shall accordingly be, a Selling Shareholder.

(b) In the case of each:

(1) Company Option Agreement. The relevant Option Seller hereby authorizes and instructs the Purchaser to withhold the Option Exercise Amount payable by such Option Seller from the Effective Closing Consideration otherwise due to the Option Seller and to pay such sum to the Company on his behalf and such payment shall constitute good discharge of the Purchaser’s obligations in respect of the Company Shares that arise on exercise of such options. The Purchaser shall procure that the Company shall account for any element of the Option Exercise Amount attributable to Tax arising on the exercise of the Company Option Agreement to the relevant Tax Authority on or prior to the date on which such Tax is due for payment and provided that the Purchaser complies with these obligations on or before the time at which the Company is required to so account any such Tax liability arising pursuant to the exercise of the Company Option Agreements shall remain the liability of the relevant Option Seller, who shall be obliged to account to the Company for any such liability. For the avoidance of doubt, a failure by the Purchaser to procure that the Company complies with the obligation to account to HMRC in a timely fashion for the amount paid by the Purchaser to the Company on behalf of each Option Seller pursuant to this section shall not invalidate the obligation of the relevant Option Seller to account to the Company in the event that there was a shortfall in the amount paid to the Company on his behalf pursuant to this section, and such Option Seller shall be obligated to account to the Company for any such shortfall in the amount; and

(2) Personal Option Agreements. The relevant Option Seller hereby authorizes and instructs (i) the Purchaser to withhold the Personal Option Tax Withholding payable by such Option Seller from the Effective Closing Consideration otherwise due to him and to pay such sum to the Company on his behalf and such payment shall constitute good discharge of the Purchaser’s obligations in respect of the Company Shares that arise on exercise of such options. The Purchaser shall procure that the Company shall account for the Personal Option Tax Withholding to the relevant Tax Authority on or prior to the date on which such Tax is due for payment and provided that that the Purchaser complies with these obligations on or before the time at which the Company is required to so account any such Tax liability arising pursuant to the exercise of the Personal Option Agreements shall remain the liability of the relevant Option Seller , who shall be obliged to account to the Company for any such liability (for the avoidance of doubt, a failure by the Purchaser to procure that the Company complies with the obligation to account to HMRC in a timely fashion for the amount paid by the Purchaser to the Company on behalf of each Option Seller pursuant to this section shall not invalidate the obligation of the relevant Option Seller to account to the Company in the event that there was a shortfall in the amount paid to the Company on his behalf pursuant to this section and such Option Seller shall be obligated to account to the Company for any such shortfall in the amount), and (ii) the Sellers’ Solicitors to withhold the Personal Option Exercise Amount from the Effective Closing Consideration otherwise due to him and to pay such amount to [**] in satisfaction of the exercise price due on the relevant Personal Option Agreement.

(c) In respect of the Company Shares acquired on the exercise of the Personal Option Agreements, the relevant Option Sellers instruct the Purchaser to arrange stamping of the stock transfer forms used to effect the transfer of the Company Shares by [**] to the relevant Option Seller and to apply the relevant portion of the Personal Option Tax Withholding as is referred to at limb c) of the definition of that term to meet the stamping liability pending which the relevant Option Sellers and [**] (as applicable) each severally undertake to hold such Company Shares for the benefit of and to the order of the Purchaser until such stamping and further transfers are complete.

(i) with the prior consent in writing of the Purchaser and the Selling Shareholders’ Representative (as appropriate);

(ii) to confirm that the Transaction has taken place, or the date of the Transaction (but without otherwise revealing any other terms of the Transaction or making any other announcement); provided that such disclosure is in no event made prior to Purchaser’s compliance with its public disclosure requirements, and that Selling Shareholder’s disclosure does not contain any information otherwise not disclosed under Purchaser’s disclosure;

(iii) to make any filing with, or obtain any authorisation from, any regulatory, governmental or similar body, or any Tax Authority or securities exchange of competent jurisdiction; or

(iv) to protect the relevant Party’s interest in any legal proceedings

provided that in the case of disclosure pursuant to Section 4.02(b)(iii) and(iv) (and to the extent they are legally permitted to do so) the party making the disclosure gives the Purchaser and the Selling Shareholders’ Representative as much notice of the disclosure as possible and consults with such other Parties and takes into account their reasonable requests concerning the content of such disclosure.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of fraud or willful misrepresentation by any Selling Shareholder (solely in its capacity as a Selling Shareholder), such Selling Shareholder shall be liable for any Losses resulting from the same on a several basis from all other Selling Shareholders.

(e) Except in the event of fraud criminal activity or willful misrepresentations of a Selling Shareholder (which are unlimited by any amount) the aggregate liability of each Selling Shareholder for indemnification under this Agreement shall be as follows:

(4) notwithstanding the foregoing Section 8.03(e)(1) to (3) all claims under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt in relation to the Fundamental Representations the Tax Covenant, the Specific Indemnities and/or under Section 4.03) shall not exceed 100% of the Selling Shareholder’s Relevant Proportion of the Aggregate Consideration actually paid to such Selling Shareholder, except, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of fraud, criminal activity or willful misrepresentations of a Selling Shareholder which are unlimited by amount.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to any indemnification (i) in respect of any claim for a Loss (together with any such claims which are connected) that does not individually exceed GBP 25,000 (the “De Minimis Amount”); and (ii) unless and until all claims for Losses exceeding the De Minimis Amount taken together exceed the amount of GBP 100,000 (the “Basket”), in which case (in the case of this clause (ii)) the Purchaser Indemnified Party may make claims for indemnification for all Losses exceeding the De Minimis Amount, and not only for the amount exceeding the Basket. The De Minimis Amount and Basket shall not apply with respect to claims for Losses in respect of the Specific Indemnities, the Tax Covenant, the Fundamental Representations or with respect to fraud or willful misrepresentation.

(g) The Selling Shareholders shall not be liable for any Losses arising from a Selling Shareholder Indemnified Event (or the respective portion of such Loss, as expressly prescribed below), save for those specified under Section 6.01, to the extent that:

(5) the Losses arise from any change of accounting policy or practice of the Company after Closing save where the Purchaser is obliged to make such change by virtue of Law, regulation and/or GAAP;

(6) [Reserved].

(7) the Purchaser or the Company (as the case may be) recover the entire amount in respect of the Losses under a policy of insurance;

(8) the matter giving rise to such right of Indemnification is reasonably remediable without undue delay, unless the Purchaser shall have given written notice thereof to the Selling Shareholder’s Representatives before the Release Date and such matter shall not have been remedied to the reasonable satisfaction of the Purchaser within the period of 30 days following the date of service of such notice;

(9) such right of indemnification would not have arisen or (but excluding events) where the amount of the Losses would not have been increased but for a change in legislation made after the date of this;

(10) such right of indemnification would not have arisen (or the amount of the Losses would not have been increased) but for an act (other than an act carried out under a legally binding obligation created before Closing) of the Company (or any member of the Purchaser Group carrying on the business of the Company in succession to the Purchaser Group) which is not in the Ordinary Course;

(11) such right of indemnification arise from any winding up or cessation after Closing of any business or trade carried on by the Company (other than where such winding up or cessation occurs as a consequence of a breach of this Agreement by the Selling Shareholders); and

(12) such right of indemnification is based on a liability that is contingent, or unascertainable, unless and until such time as the liability becomes an actual liability and is due and payable, provided that this paragraph shall not operate to avoid a claim made in respect of a contingent or unascertained liability made before a Release Date if the notice of that claim has been served before the expiry of the relevant period (even if that liability does not become actual or quantifiable, as the case may be until after the expiry of that period).

(h) The Liability of the Selling Shareholders for Indemnifiable Events shall be reduced to the extent that:

(1) there has been a corresponding saving of or credit (which is not subsequently rejected or detrimentally revised by the applicable Tax Authority. in which case the relief from Liability of the Selling Shareholders shall be revised to reflect such rejection or revision) in relation to Tax by the Purchaser or any member of the Purchaser Group in respect of the Losses;

(2) any sum is received by the Company which has previously been written off as irrecoverable in the Financial Statements or the Final Closing Statement.

(i) The Purchaser shall not be entitled to recover damages or obtain payment, reimbursement, restitution or indemnity more than once for the same Losses;

(j) In the event that any Indemnifying Party pays to the Purchaser an amount in respect of any Indemnified Event and the Purchaser or any member of the Purchaser Group subsequently recovers from another person or a policy of insurance an amount in respect of all Losses claimed for by Purchaser or relevant member of the Purchaser Group (as appropriate) then the Purchaser shall as soon as reasonably practicable pay to the relevant Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the sum recovered (being an amount equal to so much of the amount recovered from the other person by the Purchaser or a member of the Purchaser Group as long as such amount does not exceed the amount of any payment by the relevant Selling Shareholder Indemnifying Party in satisfaction of the relevant claim less any Tax payable by the Purchaser or member of the Purchaser Group in respect of that receipt and less all reasonable costs and expenses of the Purchaser or the relevant member of the Purchaser Group properly incurred in recovering that receipt).

During the thirty (30) Business days’ period commencing upon the date that a Claim Notice is deemed duly delivered pursuant to clause above to the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party may deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response (the “Response Notice”) in which the Indemnifying Party either: (i) agrees that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party; or (ii) agrees that a portion, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) is owed to the Indemnified Party; or (iii) indicates that no portion of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party. Any part of the Claimed Amount that is not agreed to be owed to the Indemnified Party pursuant to the Response Notice shall be referred to as a “Contested Amount”. Failure by an Indemnifying Party to deliver a Response Notice shall not be deemed an admission that the full Claimed Amount is the Agreed Amount or operate as a waiver of any of such Indemnifying Party’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise.

(c) Payment of Agreed Amount. Subject to the term, conditions and limitation set forth in this Article VIII, if the Indemnifying Party delivers to the Indemnified Party a Response Notice agreeing that the full Claimed Amount or an Agreed Amount is owed to the Indemnified Party, then during the Escrow Period, the Purchaser and the Selling Shareholders’ Representative shall promptly notify the Escrow Agent thereof and instruct the Escrow Agent to release the full Claimed Amount or the Agreed Amount, as applicable, from the applicable Escrow Fund and wire such amount to the applicable Indemnified Party. With respect to any payment hereunder, as long as any amount remains in the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms hereof, indemnification shall be sought from the Escrow Fund. In relation only to claims in respect of the Fundamental Representations, only after the expiration of the Escrow Period, and provided that no amount remains in the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms hereof, then within forty-five (45) Business Days following the delivery of such Response Notice to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Parties shall pay the Claimed Amount or the Agreed Amount, as the case may be, to the Indemnified Party, in each case subject to the limitations set forth herein and in accordance with their respective Relevant Proportions, if applicable.

(d) Resolution between the Parties. If the Indemnifying Party delivers to the Indemnified Party a Response Notice indicating that there is a Contested Amount, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party (in the case of the Selling Shareholders’ acting by the Selling Shareholders’ Representative) shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute related to the Contested Amount (and with due regard to any time limitations imposed on Indemnified Party to initiate any arbitration proceedings). If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party resolve such dispute, such resolution shall be binding and a settlement agreement stipulating the amount owed to the Indemnified Parties (the “Stipulated Amount”), shall be signed by the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, and (i) during the applicable Escrow Period, the Purchaser and the Selling Shareholders’ Representative shall notify the Escrow Agent thereof, or (ii) after expiration of the applicable Escrow Period, the Indemnifying Parties shall within forty-five (45) Business Days following the execution of such settlement agreement pay the Stipulated Amount to the Indemnified Parties subject to the limitations set forth herein and in accordance with their respective Relevant Proportions, if applicable. If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are unable to resolve the dispute related to the Contested Amount, each of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party has the right to refer the dispute for resolution in accordance with Section 9.06 (i.e. commence arbitration proceedings).

(e) Except as otherwise provided for in this Section 8.04, in the event that an Indemnified Party receives a notice of the assertion of any third-party claim from any Person (other than a Party hereto) (“Third Party Claim”) for which such Indemnified Party is or may be entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII, then the Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notice to the Indemnifying Party as promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event within the period indicated in Section 8.04(a). Subject to Section 8.04(a) and always to the provisions of Section 8.01(a), a failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability except to the extent that the Losses were caused or aggravated by such failure, or the defense of such Third Party Claim is materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall, at its expense, be entitled to participate in any defense of such Third Party Claim and shall have the right to be consulted timely before any material decisions are made (in particular regarding means of appeal or strategic decisions) and to comment on any submission to be made on behalf of the Purchaser or the Company or their respective successors in draft form and to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications in a timely manner with respect to the Third Party Claim to the extent that receipt of such documents does not adversely affect any material privilege relating to an Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall have full control over the litigation, including settlement and compromise thereof. If the Indemnifying Party does not consent to any settlement of a Third Party Claim, such settlement shall not be determinative as to the existence of, or amount of, Losses or as to the entitlement of the Indemnified Party for indemnification in that respect hereunder. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in so defending a Third Party Claim for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification herein shall constitute Losses.

(f) With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article VIII: (i) both the Indemnified Parties subject to such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Parties shall keep the other Persons fully informed in all material respects of the status of such Third Party Claim and any related Proceedings at all stages thereof where such Person is not represented by its own counsel, and (ii) to the extent possible, the Parties agree (each at its own expense) to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third Party Claim.

(g) With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article VIII, the Parties shall cooperate in such a manner as to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all Confidential Information and the attorney-client and work-product privileges. In connection therewith, each Party agrees that: (i) it will use commercially reasonable efforts, in respect of any Third Party Claim in which it has assumed or has participated in the defense, to avoid production of Confidential Information (consistent with applicable Law and rules of procedure) and (ii) all communications between any Parties hereto and counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third Party Claim will, to the extent possible, be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege.

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, the terms of this Section 8.04 shall not apply to the indemnification of the Selling Shareholders for pre-Closing Tax Liabilities which are governed by the Tax Covenant and the relevant Specific Indemnities in Section 6.01, as applicable.

Section 8.05 No Right of Contribution

No Selling Shareholder shall initiate any Proceeding for indemnification or contribution from the Company or any Representative thereof (in their capacity as such), with respect to any indemnity claims arising under or in connection with this Agreement, to the extent that any Person is entitled to indemnification for such claim, and each Selling Shareholder hereby waives any such right of indemnification or contribution from each of the Purchaser and/or the Company that it has or may have in the future.

(b) No Party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of each other Party hereto, except that Purchaser may transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, without obtaining the consent or approval of any other Party hereto (but with not less than 5 (five) Business Days’ advance written notice setting out the relevant facts and providing the names and addresses of the relevant proposed transferee), in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more of its Affiliates at any time; provided that, (i) the Purchaser remains fully liable with the transferee for any assigned obligation, (ii) before such transferee or assignee should cease to be an Affiliate of the Purchaser, the transferred or assigned rights or obligations must first be re-transferred or re-assigned to the Purchaser or transferred or assigned to an Affiliate of the Purchaser and (iii) the Selling Shareholders’ position shall no worse following the transfer or assignment and any sums recoverable from Selling Shareholders shall be no greater than the amount which would have been recoverable had the assignment not taken place. Promptly after any such transfer or assignment or delegation, the Purchaser shall provide reasonable written information to the Selling Shareholders to allow them to verify compliance with this Section 9.11 and to determine to what extent any obligation or liability of the Selling Shareholders may no longer be owed to the Purchaser but to a transferee or assignee.

Section 9.12 Selling Shareholders’ Representative

(a) Each of the Selling Shareholders hereby designates and empowers the Sellers’ Solicitors as his authorized representatives in relation to any act, matter or thing required or permitted by the terms of this Agreement to be done by the Selling Shareholders or any of them (the “Selling Shareholders’ Representative”) and general attorney in fact under and in connection with this Agreement with the right of substitution.

(b) Each of the Selling Shareholders’:

(i) acknowledges that the Purchaser is entitled to rely on any notice given or action taken by the Selling Shareholders’ Representative on behalf of the Selling Shareholders or any of them and that each such notice or action shall be binding on each Selling Shareholder as if such Selling Shareholder had given such notice or taken such action and is not required to enquire further in respect of such act, matter or thing;

(ii) acknowledges that the Purchaser may discharge any obligation under the Transaction Documents to give any payment, document, notice or other thing to one or more of the Selling Shareholders (including any document served to initiate or as part of any actions against any one or more of the Selling Shareholders by giving it to the Selling Shareholders’ Representative; and

(iii) irrevocably (by way of security for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement) appoints the Selling Shareholders’ Representative as his agents with full authority on its behalf and in the Selling Shareholders’ name, as applicable, or otherwise, to do all acts and to execute and deliver all documents or deeds as are required by applicable Law or as may, in the opinion of the Selling Shareholders’ Representative (acting in all cases by unanimity), be required to give effect to the matters described in this Section 9.12.

The appointment of the Selling Shareholders’ Representative set out above shall not apply in the case of an Individual Dispute, in relation to which the relevant Selling Shareholder shall be entitled to be served notice directly of any such Individual Dispute and shall be entitled to deal with the conduct of the Individual Dispute himself provided that:

(i) that Selling Shareholder shall nominate and maintain a person (who may be the Selling Shareholder himself, and shall be the Selling Shareholder unless notified otherwise) with an address in England & Wales with authority to accept service on his behalf of notices and process in any legal action or proceedings before the courts of England and Wales relating to or in connection with any such Individual Dispute; and

(ii) such notice shall set out the address and other contact details of such nominated person. The Selling Shareholder shall be entitled by notice to the Purchaser to nominate a replacement of any such nominated person provided the replacement also has an address in England & Wales.

So long as any such person has been appointed in accordance with this Section 9.12(c), the Selling Shareholders’ Representative shall not have any authority to deal with any Individual Dispute and, pending or in the absence of any such appointment, shall act in accordance with the instructions of the relevant Selling Shareholder in relation thereto.

(d) The Selling Shareholders may, acting by majority (calculated by reference to the number of Company Shares held by them prior to Closing), replace any of the Selling Shareholders’ Representative (or any replacement(s) notified to the Purchaser under this Section) with another Selling Shareholders’ Representative(s), who shall be one of the Selling Shareholders. If for any reason any of the Selling Shareholders’ Representative named in Section 9.12(a)(or their successor(s)) are replaced as the Selling Shareholders’ Representative under this Agreement, the Selling Shareholder shall notify the Purchaser of the newly appointed Selling Shareholders’ Representative and shall promptly provide such evidence of the validity of the appointment as the Purchaser may reasonably request. Until the Purchaser receives that notification (and, if applicable, evidence), it shall be entitled to treat the Selling Shareholders’ Representative named in clause Section 9.12(a) (or their successor(s)) as the Selling Shareholders’ Representative for the purposes of this Agreement.

(e) The Selling Shareholders’ Representative shall be entitled (but not obliged) when dealing with any matter under this Agreement in relation to which they are authorized to act to seek the approval of the Selling Shareholders and any decision or action approved by the Selling Shareholders acting by majority (calculated by reference to the number of Company Shares held by them immediately prior to Closing) shall be binding on all Selling Shareholders. For the avoidance of doubt the Purchaser shall not be obliged to make enquiry into whether such approval has been sought or granted.

(f) For the payments to be made by the Purchaser at Closing or thereafter, the Selling Shareholders’ Representative shall, on behalf of all the Selling Shareholders, designate one single money account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to be used by the Purchaser for such payments owed to all of the Selling Shareholders under this Agreement. Payment of such amount to such account will be due performance by the Purchaser of its respective obligation(s) vis-à-vis all the Selling Shareholders, and the Purchaser shall have no obligation and not be liable in respect of the distribution of such amount among the Selling Shareholders. The amount designated for this purpose at the Closing Date is the client account of the Sellers’ Solicitors.
