4.

GUARANTEE

4.1

In consideration of the Seller entering into this Agreement, the Guarantor as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the performance by the Buyer of all the Buyer's payment obligations under this Agreement and the Buyer's obligations under clauses 6 (Signing and Pre-Completion Matters), 7 (Completion), 11.1 (Post-Completion Obligations) 14 (Director and Officer – Release from Liability and Insurance) of, and Schedule 9 (Earn-out Payment) to, this Agreement and, if there is any failure by the Buyer to perform those obligations, will itself perform them and will indemnify the Seller in respect of such failure.

4.2

This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and except for an express written release by the Seller of the Guarantor or variation of the Guarantor's liability in writing by the Seller, the

Hogan Lovells Lee & Lee


- 13 -

liability of the Guarantor pursuant to its continuing guarantee under clause 4.1 will not be affected by any fact or circumstance including without limitation any of the following:

(a)

an interim or partial performance by the Buyer of its obligations;

(b)

a variation of this Agreement or other agreement entered into by the Buyer (unless in either case made with the written agreement of the Seller);

5.

LOCKED BOX

5.1

The Seller warrants to the Buyer that during the period commencing from the Locked Box Date up to and including the Completion Date, other than the Permitted Leakage:

(a)

there has been no Leakage up to the Signing Date, and there will be no Leakage during the period from the Signing Date up to the Completion Date;

(b)

neither the Seller nor any Affiliate of the Seller (excluding any Group Company) has received or benefitted, or will receive or benefit, from any Leakage; and

(c)

no arrangement or agreement has been made or entered into (or will be made or entered into) that has resulted or will result in the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller (excluding any Group Company) receiving or benefiting from any Leakage,

(the "Locked Box Warranty").

5.2

The Seller undertakes to the Buyer to promptly notify the Buyer in writing on becoming aware of any Leakage (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of the Seller becoming aware but no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Funds Payment Date) which would constitute a breach by the Seller of the Locked Box Warranty.

5.3

Following the Buyer becoming aware of any breach of the Locked Box Warranty, the Buyer shall be entitled at any time up until the Locked Box Claim Date to serve written notice on the Seller bringing a Claim against the Seller for breach of the Locked Box Warranty, and such notice shall set out the Buyer's calculation of the Leakage Amount and any details of which the Buyer is actually aware of.

5.4

Subject to Completion occurring, in the event of any breach of the Locked Box Warranty, the Seller shall indemnify the Buyer on a Euro for Euro basis (or, as the case may be, on the same basis in the currency received) for an amount equal to the Leakage Amount actually received by the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller (excluding any Group Company), in each case:

(a)

net of:

(i)

any Relief to the extent that a Saving arises wholly as a result of such Leakage and such Saving has been actually obtained and utilised by a Group Company in the accounting period in which that Leakage arises or the following accounting period after that Leakage has arisen; and

(ii)

any amount in respect of value added tax, consumption tax or similar Tax which is recoverable as input tax by a Group Company in respect of such leakage,

Hogan Lovells Lee & Lee


- 14 -

(b)

plus reasonable costs and expenses (including Taxes and net of any Relief from which any Group Company has actually benefitted) incurred by the Buyer in enforcing its rights against the Seller under this clause 5.4, provided that the Buyer delivers to the Seller evidence of such reasonable costs and expenses being incurred by it together with its written notice under clause 5.3, and the Buyer uses commercially reasonable efforts to keep any such costs and expenses to a minimum.

For the purpose of calculating the amount of the Consideration for Tax purposes, if any payment is made by the Seller to the Buyer pursuant to this clause 5.4, such payment will be treated as having reduced the Consideration by the amount of the payment to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, but will not reduce the Consideration to below zero. For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the only remedy available to it for breach of the Locked Box Warranty is contained in this clause 5.4.

5.5

The liability of the Seller pursuant to this clause 5 shall terminate on the Locked Box Claim Date unless, prior to that date, the Buyer has served notice on the Seller in accordance with clause 5.3 in which event only the liability in respect of the breach so notified shall continue beyond the Locked Box Claim Date.

5.6

Nothing in this clause 5 shall have the effect of limiting, restricting or excluding any liability of the Seller which is the consequence of fraud on the part of the Seller.

Hogan Lovells Lee & Lee

7.5

Save for any inter-company loan or debt claims between each of the Company and the Seller or any member of the Seller's Group as set out in paragraph 2.3 of Schedule 2, to the extent that any claim, right of action or liability held by the Seller or any member of the Seller's Group exists or may exist against any Group Company (or vice versa), the Seller or the Group Company (as the case may be) subject to and with effect from Completion, irrevocably and unconditionally waives such claim, right of action or liability and releases and discharges the relevant Group Company or the Seller (as the case may be) from any liability whatsoever in respect of such claim, right of action or liability. To the extent that any member of the Seller's Group holds any such claim, right of action or liability as aforesaid on Completion, the Seller shall subject to Completion occurring, procure the irrevocable and unconditional waiver of such liability by such member of the Seller's Group on written demand by the Buyer therefor.

8.

24.2

The Buyer agrees and acknowledges that:

(a)

subject to the limitations set out in Schedule 6, the only claim or remedy that is available to the Buyer in respect of a warranty, statement, misrepresentation (whether negligent or innocent) or undertaking made to it by or on behalf of the Seller is a claim for damages for breach of this Agreement and not termination, rescission, damages in tort, damages under statute or any other remedy. Accordingly, the Buyer waives all and any rights of rescission or termination it may have in respect of any such matter; and

any monetary remedy at law, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy and irreparable damage would occur to a Party in the event that each other Party's obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party are not performed in accordance with the specific terms herein or therein or are otherwise breached. Accordingly, each Party agrees and acknowledges that each other Party shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, and each Party shall not argue to the contrary and waives objection to the courts on the grounds of inadequacy of remedy or otherwise.

INVALIDITY

If a provision of this Agreement is found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, then to the extent it is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be given no effect and will be treated as though it were not included in this Agreement, but the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not be affected.

26.

THIRD PARTY RIGHTS

Save as contemplated in clauses 9.6 and 9.7, a person who is not a party to this Agreement has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or otherwise to enforce any term of, or enjoy any benefit under, this Agreement.
