Investment Warning – Professional Investor Regulated Scheme
 
The Company has been established in Jersey as a Professional Investor Regulated Scheme as such term is defined in the Order. An investment in the Company is only suitable for sophisticated investors who understand the risks involved in acquiring such an investment and neither the Company nor the activities of any functionary with regard to it are subject to all of the provisions of the Financial Services (Jersey) Law 1998.
 

(b)
Investment Warning – JPF Guide
 
The Company has been established in Jersey as a Jersey Private Fund (JPF). It is only suitable for those who fall within the definition of "professional investor" or "eligible investor" as such terms are defined in the JPF Guide.  Requirements which may be deemed necessary for the protection of retail or non-professional/eligible investors, do not apply to the Company.  Each of the Shareholders expressly agrees in respect of itself/himself that they fall within the definition of a "professional investor" or an "eligible investor" and accept the reduced regulatory requirements on the Company accordingly.
 
If any Shareholder acquires an interest in the Company, directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of a retail investor, the JFSC expects them to be satisfied that the investment is suitable for the relevant underlying retail investor and that the relevant underlying retail investor is able to bear the economic consequences of investment in the Company, including the possibility of the loss of the entire investment made on behalf of such retail investor.
 
Each Shareholder is wholly responsible for ensuring that all aspects of the Company are acceptable to it/him. Investment in a JPF may involve special risks that could lead to a loss of all or a substantial portion of such investment. Unless the Shareholder fully understands and accepts the nature of the Company and the potential risks inherent in the Company it/he should not invest in the Company. The investor or his duly authorised agent acknowledges in writing that it/he has received and accepted this investment warning. By agreeing this acknowledgement it is accepted that an investment in the Company may involve special risks that could lead to a loss of all such investment.
 

(c)
Disclosure Statement
 
The JFSC has given, and has not withdrawn, its consent under Article 2 of the Control of Borrowing (Jersey) Order 1958 to the issuance of shares in the Company. It must be distinctly understood that, in giving this consent, the JFSC does not take any responsibility for the financial soundness of the Company or for the correctness of any statements made, or opinions expressed, with regard to it. The JFSC is protected by the Control of Borrowing (Jersey) Law 1947, as amended, against liability arising from the discharge of its functions under that Law.

provided in either such case such company or firm does not have a significant relationship with the Exercising Non-Defaulting Party/Blocking Shareholder or the New Investor (as applicable) or their respective affiliates which might give rise to a conflict of interest.

5.
The Valuer shall determine the Fair Market Value of the relevant Shares on the following assumptions and bases (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding always any intangible asset of any kind such as goodwill, trademarks, etc.):
 
  (a)

  (iii)
the value of the relevant JV Group Company’s tangible assets (including, but not limited to, real estate and cash) as long as they are not included in the Net Present Value of that JV Group Company; less
 
  (iv)
any liabilities of the relevant JV Group Company as long as they are not included in the Net Present Value of that JV Group Company;
 
42

  (b)
that the Shares to be sold are capable of being transferred without restriction;

valuing the relevant Shares to be sold as a rateable proportion of the total value of all the issued Shares of that class without any premium or discount being attributed to the percentage of the issued Shares of that class which they represent;
 
  (d)
save where the Company has ceased to carry on business as a going concern, the determination of the Fair Market Value shall be on the basis that the Company is (and the Subsidiaries, if any, are) carrying on business as a going concern (for the avoidance of doubt, the Valuer(s) shall always take into account contracted revenues only), and will continue to do so;
 
  (e)
if relevant, there shall be taken into account any loss, damages and costs suffered or incurred or to be suffered or incurred by the Company or any other JV Group Company as a result of the occurrence of the Event of Default which resulted in a Compulsory Transfer Notice being served;
 
  (f)
the Fair Market Value shall be determined as at the date of the Compulsory Transfer Notice;
 
  (g)
the Valuer shall determine the Fair Market Value using the discounted cash flow model valuation methodology;
 
  (h)
the Valuer may consult with (or obtain valuations from) such valuers or other professionals as it shall see fit prior to making its determination, provided that the fees of such other valuers or other professionals have been agreed in advance by the Exercising Non-Defaulting Party or, as the case may be, the New Investor and/or the Blocking Shareholder appointing and selecting the Valuer (such fees shall be borne by the Shareholders as provided above in this Schedule 4 and, for the avoidance of doubt, in the event that a Valuer is appointed by each of the New Investor and the Blocking Shareholder, each one will pay for the fees of such other valuers or other professionals appointed by the Valuer appointed by it);
 
  (i)
the Valuer shall be deemed to be acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator and its decision shall, in the absence of fraud or manifest error, be final and binding on the Parties;
 
  (j)
the Parties shall procure that there is made available to the Valuer such information relating to the JV Group as it may reasonably require in order to determine the Fair Market Value;
 
  (k)
each of the Shareholders shall be entitled to make written representations and cross representations to the Valuer, which representations shall be copied to the other Shareholders;
 
  (l)
the Valuer's determination shall include a determination of the Transfer Price, as well as the Fair Market Value; and
 
  (m)
a copy of the Valuer's determination of the Fair Market Value, and of the Transfer Price, shall be provided to the Shareholders.
 
6.
If any difficulty arises in applying any of these assumptions or bases then the Valuer shall resolve that difficulty in such manner as it/they shall in its absolute discretion think fit.
 
Net Present Value means, in relation a JV Group Company, the contracted revenues less the expenses incurred in relation to such contracted revenues (such net figure discounted at a rate to be determined by the Valuer in accordance with Schedule 4), in each case, of that JV Group Company.

(b)
if applicable, procure the resignation of all its appointees to the Board such resignations to take effect without any liabilities on the Company on any grounds; and

6.
If the Seller complies with its obligations under this Schedule 5 but the Buyer fails to pay to the Seller the amounts it is obliged to pay on the stipulated completion date then such monies shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate.
