11.RESTRICTIONS ON BUYER STOCK; SHELF REGISTRATION

11.1The Buyer Stock issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will be issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act (by reason of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and/or Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act) and therefore may not be re-offered or resold other than in conformity with the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such other applicable rules and regulations or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. The Buyer Stock to be issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and may not be offered, sold, pledged, assigned or otherwise transferred (a) other than pursuant to an effective registration statement with respect thereto under the Securities Act and any applicable U.S. state securities laws at such time or (b) an exemption from such registration exists, and in either case the Buyer

receives an opinion of counsel to the Buyer or the holder of such securities (which counsel and opinion are reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer), that such securities may be offered, sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in the manner contemplated. The Buyer Stock issued hereunder will be noted with respect to such restrictions.

11.2Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a Seller shall receive the Stock Consideration under Clause 3.3(a)(v) only if such Seller provides a duly completed Investor Suitability Questionnaire to allow the Buyer to issue the Buyer Stock to such person in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Rule 506 of Regulation D or Regulation S under the Securities Act, including certifications to the Buyer:

(a)(i) that such Seller is and will be, as of the Effective Time, an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act); (ii) as to the basis on which such Seller is an accredited investor; and (iii) that the Stock Consideration is being acquired for such Seller’s account for investment only and not with a view towards, or with any intention of, a distribution or resale thereof (a person who satisfies all of the preceding requirements, an “Accredited Investor”); or

(b)that such Seller is not, and will not be at the Effective Time, a U.S. Person as defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S under the Securities Act and is not acquiring the Stock Consideration for the account or benefit of any U.S. Person (a “Non-U.S. Person”), in each case, unless such requirements are waived in writing by the Buyer.

11.3Promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the Completion, the Buyer shall file with the SEC a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 or, if Form S-3 is not available to the Buyer, another appropriate form (including any amendments or supplements, the “Registration Statement”) and the prospectus (including any amendments or supplements, the “Prospectus”) forming part of the Registration Statement in compliance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act covering the resale on a continuous basis of all of the Registrable Securities. Such Registration Statement shall be an “automatic resale registration statement” as defined pursuant to Rule 462(e) if the Buyer so qualifies, and to the extent the Buyer does not so qualify, the Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as reasonably practicable after such Registration Statement is filed with the SEC. The Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective for a period of one year following the Completion Date or, if sooner, the date on which all shares of the Buyer Stock subject to the Registration Statement cease to be Registrable Securities hereunder.

11.4As a condition to its obligations under Clause 11.3, the Buyer may require each Holder of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected to (a) furnish the Buyer with such information regarding such person that is necessary to satisfy the disclosure requirements relating to the registration and the distribution of such securities under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder as the Buyer may from time to time reasonably request in writing, including a properly completed and executed Selling Holder Questionnaire (which shall include acknowledgment of the Holder of Registrable Securities’ obligations hereunder and under the applicable securities laws as shall be reasonably necessary to facilitate the resale of the Registrable Securities), and (b) promptly notify the Buyer in writing of any changes in the information set forth in the applicable Selling Holder Questionnaire after it is prepared regarding the Holder of Registrable Securities. The Registration Statement and Prospectus shall only include the Registrable Securities of Buyer Stock recipients for whom the Buyer has received properly completed Selling Holder Questionnaires on or before the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the Completion Date. None of the information supplied (or to be supplied) by or on behalf of any of the Holders of Registrable Securities for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the applicable Registration

Statement or Prospectus will, at the time the Registration Statement becomes effective under the Securities Act (or with respect to any post-effective amendments or supplements thereto, at the time such post-effective amendments or supplements become effective under the Securities Act), contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. For the purposes of this Clause 11, a “Holder of Registrable Securities” refers solely to a Seller that is a holder of Registrable Securities as of or following the Completion Date.

11.5The Buyer shall have the right at any time, upon notice (with immediate effect) to the Holders of Registrable Securities, to (a) delay the filing of the Registration Statement or a request for acceleration of the effective date for the shortest period of time reasonably possible, but in no event more than sixty (60) days, which delay cannot occur more than two (2) times in any one-year period, or (b) suspend the use of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus after effectiveness and require that the Holders of Registrable Securities immediately cease sales of shares pursuant to any Registration Statement or Prospectus in the event that (i) the Buyer is or may be in possession of material non-public information, the failure of which to disclose in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus could result in a violation of securities laws, (ii) there is a contemplated financing, acquisition, disposition, corporate reorganization, merger, or other similar transaction or other material event or circumstance affecting the Buyer or its securities or (iii) any other event occurs that makes any statement of a material fact made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus, including any document incorporated by reference therein, untrue or that requires the making of any additions or changes in such Registration Statement or Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading. If the Buyer suspends the use of the Registration Statement or Prospectus and requires the Holders of Registrable Securities to cease sales of shares pursuant to this Clause 11.5, the Buyer shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the termination of the circumstance which entitled the Buyer to do so, take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to terminate such suspension and give written notice to all Holders of Registrable Securities authorizing them to resume sales pursuant to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus. If as a result thereof any Registration Statement or Prospectus has been amended to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Buyer shall enclose such revised Registration Statement or Prospectus with the notice to Holders of Registrable Securities given pursuant to this Clause 11.5, and the Holders of Registrable Securities shall make no offers or sales of shares pursuant to such Registration Statement other than by means of such revised Prospectus. The Buyer need not specify the nature of the event giving rise to any delay or suspension in any notice to Holders of Registrable Securities. The provisions of this Clause 11.5 shall be in addition to any employee insider trading or similar policies of general application maintained by Buyer as may be applicable to a Holder of Registrable Securities that is an employee of Buyer.

11.6With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC that may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, following Completion for so long as any Registrable Securities remain outstanding, the Buyer agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

(a)file with the SEC in a timely manner all periodic reports required of the Buyer under the Exchange Act; and

(b)furnish at the Buyer’s expense legal opinions or instruction letters regarding the removal of restrictive legends in connection with a sale under Rule 144.

11.7The Buyer’s obligations under this Clause 11 shall terminate one year following the Completion Date.

performing its obligations or exercising its rights under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or in the case of any Affiliate of a Seller, in the performance of his/her duties as an employee of any Group Company or any member of the Buyer Group) or disclose to any person (other than its Representatives in accordance with Clause 17.2) any Confidential Information.

17.2Each party undertakes that it shall, and it shall procure that its Affiliates shall, only disclose Confidential Information to its Representatives where it is reasonably required for the purposes of performing its obligations or exercising its rights under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and only where such recipients are informed of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and the provisions of this Clause 17 and instructed to comply with this Clause 17 as if they were a party to it.

17.3No party shall (and shall procure that each of its Affiliates and, in the case of the Sellers, the Group Companies shall not) make any public announcement or other public statements (including in any media interviews, conferences, investor or analyst meetings, professional or trade publications, any print media) concerning the subject matter of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Buyer on the one hand and the Seller Representative on the other (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), except:

(a)the information was in the public domain before it was received by the relevant party or, after it was received by the relevant party, entered the public domain other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement by any party (or its Representatives) (provided, that the foregoing will not apply to information described in Clauses 17.1(a)(i) or 17.1(a)(ii)(y));

(b)the party using or disclosing Confidential Information or making such announcement:

reasonable discretion, may determine appropriate (including in any media interviews, conferences, investor or analyst meetings, professional or trade publications, any print media or securities or stock exchange filings), provided that any such public statement shall not name or otherwise refer to, any Seller, any Seller’s Related Persons or any Seller’s ultimate beneficial owner(s) or controllers.

18.TERMINATION

18.1Written notice to terminate this Agreement may be given:

(a)by the Buyer or the Seller Representative in accordance with Clause 18.2 or paragraph 1.15 of Schedule 4; or

(b)by either the Buyer or the Seller Representative in accordance with Clause 5.7(c).

18.2If any Regulatory Condition:

(a)is not satisfied (or waived in accordance with this Agreement) by the Longstop Date; or

(b)otherwise becomes incapable of being satisfied due to a final, non-appealable Order issued by an Authority of competent jurisdiction prohibiting the consummation of the Transaction (and is not waived in accordance with this Agreement),

then either the Seller Representative or the Buyer may by notice to the other party terminate this Agreement; provided that the Seller Representative will not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Clause 18.2 in the event any Seller has materially breached any of its obligations under Schedule 4 or the warranties in paragraphs 2.4, 3.5 or 13.4 of Schedule 6 (provided that for these purposes, each such warranty shall be deemed to be qualified in all respects by the expression “so far as the Sellers are aware”), in any such case, where such breach is a substantial cause of the failure of any Regulatory Condition to be satisfied by the Longstop Date or otherwise becoming incapable of being satisfied.

18.3If notice of termination is given in accordance with Clause 18.1 or 18.2, then this Agreement shall cease to have effect immediately upon delivery of such notice of termination, except that the Surviving Provisions and any rights or liabilities that have accrued prior to that time shall continue in full force and effect.

19.FURTHER ASSURANCE

Each party shall execute and deliver or procure the execution and delivery of, all such documents, and shall do all such things, as any other party may reasonably require for the purpose of giving full effect to the provisions of this Agreement and to secure for each party the full benefit of the rights, powers and remedies conferred upon it under this Agreement.

20.ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND REMEDIES

20.1This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents together set out the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the matters described in the other Transaction Documents and, save to the extent expressly set out in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, supersede and extinguish any prior drafts, agreements, undertakings, representations, warranties, promises, assurances and arrangements of any nature whatsoever, whether or not in writing, relating thereto.

20.2Each party acknowledges and agrees that in entering into this Agreement and the Transaction Documents it has not relied and is not relying on, and shall have no claim or remedy in respect of, any statement, representation, warranty, undertaking, assurance, promise, understanding or other provision made, whether by a party to this Agreement or not, whether written or oral, express or implied and whether negligently or innocently made, which is not expressly set out in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

20.3Save as expressly set out in this Agreement (including paragraph 1.5 of Schedule 12) or any other Transaction Document, the only right or remedy of any party in relation to any statement, representation, warranty, undertaking, assurance, promise, understanding or other provision set out in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be for breach of this Agreement or the relevant Transaction Document to the exclusion of all other rights and remedies (including those in tort or arising under statute) and, in respect of any breach of this Agreement or any Transaction Document, the only remedy shall be a claim for damages in respect of such breach. Save as expressly set out in this Agreement, no party shall be entitled to rescind or terminate this Agreement in any circumstances whatsoever at any time, whether before or after Completion, and each party waives any rights of rescission or termination it may have.

20.4If there is any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any other agreement, this Agreement shall prevail (as between the parties to this Agreement and as between each Seller and any of its Affiliates on the one hand and any members of the Buyer Group on the other) unless:

(a)such other agreement expressly states that it overrides this Agreement in the relevant respect; and

(b)each Seller and the Buyer are either also parties to that other agreement or otherwise expressly agree in writing that such other agreement shall override this Agreement in that respect.

20.5Except where expressly provided otherwise, the rights, powers, privileges and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers, privileges or remedies provided by Law.

20.6Nothing in this Agreement shall exclude or limit any liability for or remedy in respect of fraud.

21.POST-COMPLETION EFFECT OF AGREEMENT

21.1Notwithstanding Completion, each provision of this Agreement and any other Transaction Document not performed at or before Completion but which remains capable of performance (including those provisions which are expressly stated to survive termination of this Agreement), the Warranties and all covenants, indemnities and other undertakings and assurances contained in or entered into pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document will remain in full force and effect and, except as otherwise expressly provided, without limit in time.

21.2Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, other than in the event of fraud, if the Transaction is completed:

(a)the Buyer Warranties that are not Buyer Fundamental Warranties shall expire and be of no further force or effect as of the Completion; and

(b)the Buyer Fundamental Warranties shall survive for a period of five (5) years from the Completion Date; provided no Seller shall have recourse against the Buyer if (i) the

Buyer has satisfied its obligations set forth in paragraph 2.1(a) to (e) (inclusive) of Schedule 5 and (ii) the Stock Consideration, when issued, is duly authorised, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, subject to securities Laws, free of any Encumbrance (other than any Encumbrances imposed by or created as a result of the circumstances of the Sellers).

22.WAIVER AND VARIATION

22.1A failure or delay by a party to exercise any right or remedy provided under this Agreement or by Law, whether by conduct or otherwise, shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it preclude or restrict any further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy provided under this Agreement or by Law, whether by conduct or otherwise, shall preclude or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

22.2A waiver of any right or remedy under this Agreement shall only be effective if given in writing and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. It is acknowledged and agreed that the Seller Representative may waive any right or remedy under this Agreement on behalf of the Sellers.

22.3A party that waives a right or remedy provided under this Agreement or by Law in relation to another party does not affect its rights in relation to any other party.

22.4No variation or amendment of this Agreement shall be valid unless it is in writing and duly executed by the Buyer and each of the Sellers. Unless expressly agreed between the Buyer and the Sellers, no variation or amendment shall constitute a general waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor shall it affect any rights or obligations under or pursuant to this Agreement which have already accrued up to the date of variation or amendment and the rights and obligations under or pursuant to this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect except and only to the extent that they are varied or amended.

23.INVALIDITY

Where any provision of this Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws of any jurisdiction then such provision shall be deemed to be severed from this Agreement and, if possible, replaced with a lawful provision which, as closely as possible, gives effect to the intention of the parties under this Agreement and, where permissible, that shall not affect or impair the legality, validity or enforceability in that, or any other, jurisdiction of any other provision of this Agreement.

24.ASSIGNMENT

24.1Except as provided in this Clause 24 or as the parties specifically agree in writing, no person shall assign, transfer, charge or otherwise deal with all or any of its rights under this Agreement nor grant, declare, create or dispose of any right or interest in it.

24.2Subject to Clause 24.3, the Buyer may assign the benefit of (and in the case of Clause 24.2(a), charge or otherwise grant security over) this Agreement and/or of any other Transaction Document to which it is a party, in whole or in part, to, and it may be enforced by:

(a)any member of the Buyer Group or any Affiliate of the Buyer (provided if any assignee under this Clause 24.2(a) ceases to be a member of the Buyer Group or an Affiliate of the Buyer, any rights under this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document which have been assigned to it shall be promptly assigned to, or made the

subject of a trust in favour of, another member of the Buyer Group or an Affiliate of the Buyer); or

(b)any bank or financial institution lending money or making other banking facilities available to the Buyer for the acquisition of the Shares, by way of security, or any refinancing thereof.

24.3Any assignment made pursuant to Clause 24.2 or 24.3 shall be on the basis that:

(a)each Seller may discharge its obligations under this Agreement to the assignor until it receives notice of the assignment;

(b)the liability of each Seller to any assignee shall not be greater than its liability to the Buyer; and

(c)the Buyer will remain jointly and severally liable for any obligations under this Agreement.

24.4This Agreement shall be binding on and continue for the benefit of the successors and assignees of each party.

25.PAYMENTS, SET OFF AND DEFAULT INTEREST

25.1Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any payment to be made pursuant to this Agreement by the Buyer to any Seller shall be made to the Bank Account of such Seller and any payment to be made pursuant to this Agreement by any Seller to the Buyer shall be made to the Bank Account of the Buyer, in each case by way of electronic transfer in immediately available funds on or before the due date for payment. Receipt of such sum in such account on or before the due date for payment shall be a good discharge by the payer of its obligation to make such payment.

25.2Subject to Clause 25.4, all payments made by any party under this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document, shall be made free from any set-off, counterclaim or other deduction or withholding of any nature whatsoever, except for deductions or withholdings required to be made by Law. If any such deductions or withholdings for or on account of Tax are required by Law to be made from any payments payable by any Seller(s) under this Agreement in respect of any Tax Covenant Claim, any indemnity or for breach of this Agreement (other than any payment of interest) the amount of the payment shall be increased by the Seller(s) by such amount as will, after the deduction or withholding has been made, leave the Buyer or relevant member of the Buyer Group with the same net after-tax amount as it would have been entitled to receive in the absence of any such requirement to make a deduction or withholding.

25.3If any sum payable under this Agreement by any Seller(s) under this Agreement in respect of any Tax Covenant Claim (other than any payment of interest) is subject to Tax in the hands of the Buyer or relevant member of the Buyer Group (as applicable) (or would be subject to Tax but for the availability of a Relief) (other than by deduction or withholding), the Seller(s) shall pay such additional amount as shall ensure that the net after-tax amount received by the Buyer or relevant member of the Buyer Group (as applicable) shall be the amount that the payee would have received if the payment had not been subject to Tax.

25.4To the extent that the Buyer shall have transferred (by whatever means, including by way of a declaration of trust or anything that amounts in substance to a transfer) the benefit in whole or in part of this Agreement or shall have changed its tax residence or the permanent establishment to which the rights under this Agreement are allocated then the liability of the

Seller(s) under Clauses 25.2 and 25.3 shall be limited to that (if any) which it would have been had no such transfer or change taken place.

25.5Where any Seller or the Buyer default in the payment when due of any damages or other sum payable by virtue of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document the liability of such Seller or the Buyer (as the case may be) shall be increased to include an amount equal to interest on such sum from the date when payment is due to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at that annual rate which is 2.5% per annum above the base lending rate of HSBC Bank plc from time to time in effect during such period. Such interest shall accrue from day to day and be compounded quarterly and shall be payable without prejudice to any other remedy available to any other party (as the case may be) in respect of such default.

(b)a Buyer Protection Condition is not satisfied as at immediately prior to Completion, or an event, circumstance or condition has occurred which prevents a Buyer Protection Condition from being satisfied as at immediately prior to Completion then the Buyer may give notice to the Seller Representative in writing to terminate this Agreement, following which Clause 18 shall apply.

1.18The Buyer and the Sellers agree that if (a) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Clause 18.2, (b) at the time of such termination, all Buyer Protection Conditions (other than the Buyer Protection Conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at Completion, but provided that such Buyer Protection Conditions shall then be capable of being satisfied if Completion were to take place on such date) are satisfied and (c) no Seller or Group Company has materially breached any of its obligations under this Schedule 4 or the warranties in paragraphs 2.4, 3.5 or 13.4 of Schedule 6 (provided that for these purposes, each such warranty shall be deemed to be qualified in all respects by the expression “so far as the Sellers are aware”), in any such case, where such breach is a substantial cause of the failure of any Regulatory Condition to be satisfied by the Longstop Date or otherwise becoming incapable of being satisfied, then the Buyer shall, within five (5) Business Days of such termination, pay (or cause to be paid), as liquidated damages (but without prejudice to the Sellers’ right to claim additional damages in the case of a wilful material breach by the Buyer of any of its obligations under this Schedule 4), the Termination Fee to the Bank Account of the Sellers (such fee to be allocated among the Sellers in accordance with their respective Relevant Proportions).

Agreement and in particular of agreeing to pay the Termination Fee in the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Clause 18.2;

(b)by entering into this Agreement, the Sellers are foregoing other opportunities to sell or further develop the business of the Group and, accordingly, the Sellers have a legitimate commercial interest in protecting themselves in respect of the events contemplated by Clause 18.2; and

1.20Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Termination Fee shall become due and payable in accordance with paragraph 1.18, from and after such termination and payment of the Termination Fee in full pursuant to and in accordance with paragraph 1.18, save in the case of a wilful material breach of any of its obligations under this Schedule 4 (in which case the Sellers shall not be restricted from pursuing damages if they reasonably believe they have suffered losses that in aggregate exceed the Termination Fee), the Buyer shall have no further liability of any kind for any reason in connection with this Agreement or the Transaction. In no event shall the Buyer be obligated to pay, or cause to be paid, the Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

1.2Subject to paragraph 1.1 of this Schedule 7, the maximum aggregate liability (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any increased payments under Clauses 25.2 and 25.3) of each Seller:

(a)in respect of Fundamental Warranty Claims and all other Claims (other than Business Warranty Claims, Tax Claims and Relevant Claims), shall not exceed such Seller’s Relevant Proportion of the Consideration;

(b)in respect of Business Warranty Claims and Tax Warranty Claims (in each case only in respect of Warranties given as of the date of this Agreement) and Tax Covenant Claims shall not exceed such Seller’s Relevant Proportion of USD [***];

(c)in respect of Business Warranty Claims and Tax Warranty Claims (in each case only in respect of Warranties given as of Completion) shall be zero; and

(d)in respect of Relevant Claims shall not exceed such Seller’s Relevant Proportion of the Claims Retention Amount.

1.3Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement other than, and subject always to, paragraph 1.2(b), each Seller agrees that, subject to paragraph 1.4 below, it shall be solely responsible for its Relevant Proportion of any amount that may be due to the Buyer pursuant to a Claim under the W&I Policy (other than in respect of a Warranty Claim in connection with a Warranty given as of Completion) that is not paid by the W&I Insurer solely as a result of the application of any retentions and deductibles that apply under the W&I Policy, up to an aggregate amount between all Sellers of USD [***] (the “Initial Coverage”). If a payment is due in accordance with this paragraph 1.3 before the first anniversary of the Completion Date, the Buyer and the Seller Representative shall jointly instruct the Retention Agent to distribute the applicable amount due from the Claims Retention Account. If a payment is due in accordance with this paragraph 1.3 after the first anniversary of the Completion Date (but subject to the limitations under paragraph 3.1 below), each Seller agrees that it shall pay its Relevant Proportion of the retention or deductible up to an aggregate amount equal to the Initial Coverage within five (5) Business Days of receipt of payment instructions from the Buyer or the W&I Insurer.

1.4No Seller shall be liable in respect of any Business Warranty Claim or Tax Warranty Claim in connection with a Warranty given as of Completion, and no Seller shall be liable in respect of any single Business Warranty Claim in connection with a Warranty given as of the date of this Agreement unless and until the aggregate amount of the liability of the Sellers (taken together) in respect of all such Business Warranty Claims exceeds USD [***], in which case the relevant Sellers shall be liable for the excess above USD [***] (but subject to the limitation under paragraph 1.2(b) above).

105

2.W&I POLICY

2.1Subject to paragraph 1.3, the Buyer acknowledges and agrees that:

(a)its sole recourse in respect of any Business Warranty Claim or Tax Claim shall be to make a claim under the W&I Policy;

(b)the Buyer shall not make, and no Seller shall be liable for, any Business Warranty Claim or Tax Claim unless and until (i) the Buyer has made a claim in respect of the underlying Business Warranty Claim or Tax Claim against the W&I Insurer, (ii) the Buyer has taken all action necessary to prosecute such claim in accordance with the terms of the W&I Policy and (iii) that claim has been settled, agreed or otherwise determined; and

(c)the absence of a recourse of the Buyer under the W&I Policy in respect of any Business Warranty Claim or Tax Claim (including, without limitation, as the result of any limitation, exclusion, deduction or derogation under, or any invalidity, illegality, vitiation, expiry or termination of, the W&I Policy) or any inability of the Buyer to obtain any remedy in respect of any Business Warranty Claim or Tax Claim under the W&I Policy for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, any winding up, bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings affecting any W&I Insurer, any failure of any W&I Insurer to perform its obligations under the W&I Policy, any non-payment by any W&I Insurer or any deductible, threshold or other financial limitation applying to the W&I Policy) shall not affect or increase the liability of any Seller under this Agreement, except as expressly stated otherwise in paragraph 1.3.

(b)in the case of a Fundamental Warranty Claim, within the period of five (5) years beginning with the Completion Date;

(c)in the case of any Business Warranty Claim or Relevant Claim, within the period of twelve (12) months beginning with the Completion Date;

(e)in respect of any other Claim relating to a breach that occurred after Completion, the applicable statutory limitation period.

106

3.2Any notice referred to in paragraph 3.1 must be given to the Seller Representative (on behalf of the relevant Seller(s)) as soon as practicable after the Buyer becomes aware of the matter reasonably likely to give rise to the Claim, and shall:

(a)include a summary of the nature of the Claim so far as it is known to the Buyer and a good faith calculation of the amount claimed (on a without prejudice basis); and

(b)specify (without prejudice to the Buyer’s right subsequently to identify other Warranties or provisions which are breached by the same facts) the specific Warranties or other provisions of this Agreement which are alleged to have been breached,

provided that the failure of the notice from the Buyer to comply with the requirements of paragraphs 3.2(a) and (b) shall not operate to limit the liability of any relevant Seller except to the extent that such Seller’s ability to defend such Claim is prejudiced or the liability of such Seller is increased as a result of such failure or delay.

3.3For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer may give notice of any single Claim in accordance with this paragraph 3, whether or not the amount set out in paragraph 1.31.4 has been exceeded at the time the notice is given.

4.WITHDRAWAL OF CLAIMS

Any Claim notified pursuant to paragraph 3.1 shall (if it has not been previously satisfied, settled or withdrawn) be deemed to be irrevocably withdrawn and shall become fully barred and unenforceable (and no new Claim may be made against the relevant Seller(s) in respect of the facts, matter, events or circumstances giving rise to such Claim) six (6) months after the notice is given pursuant to paragraph 3.1, unless at the relevant time legal proceedings in respect of the Claim have been commenced by being both properly issued and validly served on the relevant Seller(s) and have not been withdrawn or terminated; provided that such six (6) month time limit shall not commence:

(a)in respect of any Claim where paragraph 2.1(b) applies, until the Buyer has made a corresponding claim for recovery against the W&I Insurer and such corresponding claim or entitlement is Determined (as defined in paragraph 13.2 below) (or the relevant member of the Buyer Group has exhausted its rights in respect of such corresponding claim); and

(b)in the case of a contingent or unquantifiable liability, six months after such liability becomes an actual quantifiable liability,

subject in each case to paragraph 9 below.

5.CLAIMS AGAINST SELLERS

5.1The Buyer shall not be entitled to make:

(a)any Warranty Claim (other than any Fundamental Warranty Claim in respect of any Warranty in paragraph 2 of Schedule 6 (the Sellers) that relates solely to a Seller and its Shares);

(b)any Tax Claim;

107

(c)any other Claim (other than to the extent such Claim (other than any Business Warranty Claim and any Tax Claim) is directly attributable to one or more specific Sellers and their actions),

in each case unless the same claim is made against all of the Sellers and they are all joined in such action.

5.2Save for any Claim carved out from paragraph 5.1(a) or (c) above:

(a)the Buyer shall not release, vary or compound the liability of any one of the Sellers under or pursuant to this Agreement without offering to release, vary or compound the liability of all other Sellers to the same extent;

(b)if the Buyer withdraws a Warranty Claim, Tax Claim or other Claim against any of the Sellers, the Buyer shall also withdraw that same Claim against each of the other Sellers against whom the same Claim has been made; and

(c)each Seller shall only be liable for its Relevant Proportion of the amount of the liability in respect of any Warranty Claim, Tax Claim or other Claim.

6.MATERIALITY

In respect of any Business Warranty Claim or Tax Warranty Claim, the existence of, and any losses arising from, any such inaccuracy or breach shall be determined and measured without giving effect to any “Material Adverse Change” or other materiality qualification or any similar qualification contained or incorporated directly or indirectly in such representation or warranty.

7.REMEDIABLE BREACHES

To the extent the fact, matter, event or circumstance giving rise to a Claim is capable of remedy, no Seller shall be liable for such Claim if it is remedied at the cost and expense of the Sellers and at no cost or expense to the Group to the reasonable satisfaction of the Buyer within 30 Business Days of the date of the notice referred to in paragraph 3.1, and the Buyer shall, and shall procure that each member of the Buyer Group shall, use commercially reasonable endeavours to cooperate with and assist the Sellers to remedy any such fact, matter, event or circumstance at the Sellers’ cost.

8.DISCLOSURE

No Seller shall be liable in respect of any Warranty Claim if and to the extent that the fact, matter, event or circumstance giving rise to such Claim is Disclosed in the Disclosure Letter. For purposes of the specific disclosures set out in the Disclosure Letter:

(a)inclusion of any item, information or matter does not represent an admission or determination by the Sellers that such item, information or matter is material to the Company or the Group or would constitute a Material Adverse Change, nor shall it be deemed to establish a standard for materiality or a Material Adverse Change; and

(b)for convenience, each matter disclosed is listed against, under, or by reference to the paragraph number of the Warranty to which the disclosure is most likely to relate, but any matter disclosed shall only be deemed to be Disclosed against (i) the Warranties that are contained in the corresponding paragraph of Schedule 6 of this Agreement and (ii) any other Warranties that are contained in Schedule 6 of this Agreement to which it is reasonably apparent that such disclosure would apply.

108

9.CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Other than in respect of a Tax Claim, no Seller shall be liable in respect of any liability which is contingent or otherwise not capable of being quantified in relation to any Claim unless and until such contingent or unquantifiable liability becomes an actual and quantifiable liability and is due and payable, provided that no Seller shall be liable for any relevant contingent liability unless such contingent liability becomes an actual liability and is due and payable within five (5) years of the date on which the Claim was notified pursuant to paragraph 3.1. This is without prejudice to the right of the Buyer to give notice of the relevant Claim to any Seller notwithstanding the fact that the liability may not have become an actual and quantifiable liability. The fact that the liability may not have become an actual and quantifiable liability within the time limits provided in paragraph 3 shall not exonerate any Seller in respect of any Claim properly notified within such time limits, provided that no Seller shall be liable for any relevant contingent liability unless such contingent liability becomes an actual liability and is due and payable within five (5) years of the date on which the Claim was notified pursuant to paragraph 3.1.

10.COMPLETION ACCOUNTS

No Seller shall be liable in respect of any Claim to the extent of the amount of an allowance, provision or reserve in respect of the fact, matter, event or circumstance giving rise to such Claim has been taken into account in calculating the amount of Third Party Debt set out in the Completion Accounts or any other item set out in the Completion Accounts.

11.ALTERNATIVE RECOVERY

No Seller shall be liable in respect of any Claim to the extent of the amount of the loss to which the Claim relates has otherwise been made good or has otherwise been compensated for in full without loss to any member of the Buyer Group.

12.NO DUPLICATION OF RECOVERY

12.1The Buyer shall not be entitled to recover damages or obtain payment, reimbursement, restitution, indemnity or any other form of recovery more than once in respect of the same loss, regardless of whether more than one Claim arises in respect of it, and for this purpose recovery by the Buyer or any Group Company shall be deemed to be a recovery by each of them.

12.2In the event that the Buyer is entitled to claim under the Tax Covenant or under the Warranties in respect of the same liability, the Buyer may claim under either or both but payments under the Tax Covenant shall pro tanto satisfy and discharge any claim which is capable of being made under the Warranties in respect of the same liability and vice versa.

13.OTHER SPECIFIC LIMITATIONS

13.1No Seller shall be liable:

(a)in respect of any Warranty Claim or Tax Claim, if and to the extent that the Claim would not have arisen but for, or is increased as a result of:

(i)any alteration to or enactment (other than a re-enactment) of any statute, statutory instrument or other legislative act or other change of Law (including any decision of any court or tribunal) or any practice of any Authority (including the withdrawal of any extra-statutory concession of a Tax Authority) which is announced and/or enacted after (A) the date on which the

109

applicable Warranty is given in respect of any Warranty Claims and (B) Completion in respect of any Tax Covenant Claim (whether relating to Taxation, rates of Taxation or otherwise);

(ii)any change after the date of this Agreement of any generally accepted interpretation or application of any legislation or regulation; or

(iii)any change in the accounting principles or practices, or the accounting reference date or the length of any accounting period of any member of the Buyer Group made after Completion; or

(b)to the extent a Claim relates to a Group Company if at any time after Completion such Group Company ceases to be a member of the Buyer Group.

13.2No Seller shall be liable in respect of any Claim unless and to the extent that such Claim is “Determined” which shall mean a claim:

(a)which has been resolved by written agreement between the relevant Sellers and the Buyer;

(b)which is the subject of an order as to both liability and quantum made by a court of competent jurisdiction where either no right of appeal lies or the relevant Sellers and the Buyer are debarred (whether by the passage of time or otherwise) from exercising such a right and, if it relates to a Taxation matter, it is agreed as finally settled as to liability and quantum (with no further right of enquiry in respect of such claim) by the relevant Tax Authority; or

(c)if it relates to a Taxation matter, all or any part of the Tax which is the subject of the Tax Claim is required to be paid to the relevant Tax Authority before a defense or appeal can be made in respect of the Tax Claim or it is agreed as settled as to liability and quantum by the relevant Tax Authority,

and once Determined no new Claim can be made in respect of the same facts or matter giving rise to such Claim.

13.3Schedule 8 includes further limitations which also apply to Tax Claims.

14.CONDUCT OF THIRD PARTY CLAIMS

14.1In respect of any fact, matter, event or circumstance which any member of the Buyer Group becomes aware of, which is likely to result in a claim against any of them and which, in turn, is likely to result in a Claim (a “Third Party Claim”), the Buyer shall:

(a)control the defense of such Third Party Claim, subject to paragraphs (b) to (d) below;

(b)promptly give written notice of the Third Party Claim to the Seller Representative (on behalf of the relevant Seller(s)) specifying in reasonable detail the material aspects of the Third Party Claim (provided that any delay or failure to do so shall not prejudice the Buyer’s Claim except to the extent the amount of the Claim is increased by the delay or failure);

(c)not, and shall ensure that no Buyer Group Company will, make any admission of liability or any agreement, compromise, or settlement, or enter into any discussions or negotiations in respect thereof, in relation to the Third Party Claim without the prior

110

written consent of the Seller Representative (not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed); and

(d)cooperate in good faith and in consultation with the Seller Representative in connection with the defence, settlement or compromise of any Third Party Claim (it being understood that the Buyer will have ultimate decision making authority in the event of any disagreement), and upon the request of the Seller Representative, regularly update the Seller Representative on the progress and status of, and any material updates in respect of, any Third Party Claim.

15.RECOVERY FROM ANOTHER PERSON

15.1If, and to the extent that, in respect of any matter which may give rise to a Claim, any member of the Buyer Group is entitled to claim under any policy of insurance (excluding the W&I Policy), the Buyer shall use commercially reasonable endeavours to take or shall procure that a member of the Buyer Group shall take action to make a claim under such policy; provided that all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Buyer in making such claim shall be for the account of the relevant Seller(s) and provided further that the Buyer shall not be required to make such a claim where doing so would adversely affect the Buyer’s existing insurance coverage, result in a less favorable insurance position or negatively impact the Buyer’s insurance premiums or conditions in the future.

15.2If a Seller pays or is obliged to pay to the Buyer or any member of the Buyer Group an amount in respect of a Claim and the Buyer or any member of the Buyer Group subsequently recovers from another person (other than (i) a Tax Authority or (ii) pursuant to the W&I Policy) an amount in respect of the matter giving rise to the Claim, and:

(a)if the relevant Seller(s) have already paid an amount in satisfaction of that Claim, the Buyer shall promptly pay to the relevant Seller(s) (in their respective Relevant Proportions or in such proportions as the amount paid in satisfaction of the Claim was borne by them) the Sum Recovered; and

(b)if the relevant Seller(s) have not already paid an amount in satisfaction of that Claim, the amount of that Claim for which the relevant Seller(s) are liable shall be reduced by and to the extent of the Sum Recovered.

15.3For the purposes of paragraph 15.1, “Sum Recovered” means an amount equal to the total of the amount recovered from the other person less any Taxation computed by reference to the amount recovered or recoverable from the person payable by a member of the Buyer Group and less all costs and expenses properly incurred and documented by each member of the Buyer Group in recovering the amount from the person (including any insurance premium, deductible or co-payment and any increase thereto).

16.MITIGATION

The Buyer shall (and shall procure that each member of the Buyer Group shall) take reasonable steps and provide reasonable assistance to avoid or mitigate any loss arising from a Claim or any loss which, in the absence of mitigation, would reasonably be expected to give rise to a Claim.

Subject to applicable Law and the Seller Representative giving such undertakings as to confidentiality as the Buyer may reasonably require, upon the reasonable request of the Seller Representative following any Claim being made, the Buyer shall and shall procure that each

111

member of the Buyer Group shall promptly provide the Sellers and their advisers and accountants with information (in its possession or control), including reasonable access to relevant personnel and to relevant assets, documents and records within the power or control of each member of the Buyer Group, during Working Hours and on reasonable advance notice, but not so as to cause disruption to the ongoing business of any member of the Buyer Group, as the Seller Representative may reasonably require (but excluding anything which is commercially sensitive or subject to legal privilege) to investigate, avoid, remedy, dispute, resist, appeal, compromise or contest such Claim.

18.FRAUD

Nothing in this Agreement shall have the effect of limiting or restricting liability of any Seller in respect of any Claim if it is the consequence of fraud by such Seller or any of its directors, officers, employees or authorised agents (in each case acting in such capacity).

19.RELIEFS AND BENEFITS

19.1 In determining the amount payable in respect of any Claim, account shall be taken of any Relief or other benefit available to the Group in respect of the matter giving rise to the payment.

19.2 The Sellers shall not be liable to satisfy any Claim to the extent of any corresponding saving by or net quantifiable financial benefit to the Buyer or any member of the Buyer Group arising from the matter(s) giving rise to such Claim, including the amount (if any) by which any Tax for which the Buyer or any member of the Buyer Group would otherwise have been accountable or liable to be assessed is or will be actually reduced or extinguished as a result of the matter(s) giving rise to the Claim.

(the “Reporting Accountants”).

2.2If paragraph 2.1 applies, the Sellers and the Buyer shall provide such reasonable cooperation to promptly agree the terms of appointment for the Reporting Accountants, which shall (unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Seller Representative and the Buyer) be on the following basis:

(a)a joint appointment on behalf of both the Buyer on the one hand and the Seller Representative (on behalf the Sellers) on the other hand;

(b)if the Reporting Accountants, exercising their sole discretion, are of the opinion that a party has been disruptive to the process set out in this Schedule 9 or materially breached an express provision set out in this Schedule 9, then the Reporting Accountants may determine that the disruptive party should be responsible for 75% or more of the Reporting Accountants’ fees and expenses (and for the avoidance of doubt, the balance of the Reporting Accountants’ fees and expenses shall be borne by the other party).

(b)following delivery of their respective submissions, the Buyer and the Seller Representative shall have the opportunity to comment once only (provided that nothing in this sub-paragraph shall prevent the parties from responding to any requests from the Reporting Accountants under paragraph 2.2) on the other party’s submissions by written comment delivered to the Reporting Accountants not later than 20 days after the written statement was first submitted to the Reporting Accountants and copied to the other party pursuant to paragraph 3.2(a);

(c)apart from procedural matters and/or as otherwise set out in this Agreement, the Reporting Accountants shall determine only:

(i)whether any of the arguments for an alteration to the Draft Completion Accounts put forward in the written statements submitted under paragraph 3.2(a) is correct in whole or in part (unless such matters are agreed between the Buyer and the Seller Representative) and will limit its determination solely to the disputed matters and/or items; and

(d)the Reporting Accountants shall apply the policies in paragraphs 4.2 and 6;

(e)the Reporting Accountants shall not be entitled to determine the scope of their own jurisdiction;

(f)the Reporting Accountants shall act as experts (and not as arbitrators) in making their determination and their determination of any matter falling within their jurisdiction shall be final and binding on the Sellers and the Buyer save in the event of manifest error (when the relevant part of their determination shall be void and the matter shall be resubmitted to the Reporting Accountants by either party for correction as soon as reasonably practicable); and

(g)the Reporting Accountants shall make their determination pursuant to paragraph 3.2(f) within 30 days after the expiry of the 20 day period referred to in paragraph 3.2(b) or as soon thereafter as is reasonably possible and such determination shall be in writing and shall be made available for collection by the Seller Representative and the Buyer at the offices of the Reporting Accountants and shall (unless otherwise agreed by the Seller Representative and the Buyer) include reasons for each relevant determination.

3.3Any determination of the Reporting Accountants under paragraph 3.2(g) above shall be deemed to be incorporated into the Draft Completion Accounts which, as adjusted by the alterations so determined by the Reporting Accountants (if any), shall become the Completion Accounts respectively and be final and binding on the Sellers and the Buyer.

120

3.4Nothing in this Schedule 9 shall entitle a party or the Reporting Accountants access to any information or document which is protected by legal professional privilege, or which has been prepared by the other party or its accountants and other professional advisers with a view to assessing the merits of any claim or argument, provided that a party shall not be entitled by reason of this paragraph 3.4 to refuse to supply such part or parts of documents as contain only the facts on which the relevant claim or argument is based.
