(a)

the Consideration as adjusted by the Closing Adjustment Amount (the "Adjusted Consideration" (subject to clause 6));

the Escrow Amount (and interest accruing on it in the Escrow Account) but only to the extent that it is to be released to the Payment Agent for and on behalf of the Sellers pursuant to clause 6; and

by payments of the Estimated Adjusted Consideration to the Payment Agent for and on behalf of the Sellers;

(b)

If and to the extent the Company has not received written confirmation that the IRS Claim has been fully and finally decided at least two Business Days prior to Completion, the Escrow Amount shall be increased by the IRS Claim Supplement.

4.5

On the Adjustment Date, subject always to clause 6.2:

(a)

If the amount of the Adjusted Consideration determined as final and binding in accordance with Schedule 4 exceeds the Estimated Adjusted Consideration, the Buyer shall pay to the Payment Agent for and on behalf of the Sellers an aggregate amount equal to the excess. The Adjustment Payment shall be allocated among the Sellers in accordance with their respective entitlements set forth in Parts 1 or 2 as applicable of Schedule 1.

(b)

If the amount of Adjusted Consideration determined as final and binding in accordance with Schedule 4 is less than the Estimated Adjusted Consideration, the Buyer shall be entitled to deduct from the amount standing to the credit of the Escrow Account, and be paid therefrom, an aggregate amount equal to the shortfall. If the Adjustment Payment is due to the Buyer pursuant to this clause 4.5(b), the Sellers' Representative shall procure that the amount of such payment shall be satisfied by the release of monies from the Escrow Account.

4.6

On the Earn-out Payment Date and subject always to clause 6, the Buyer shall pay to the Payment Agent for and on behalf of the Sellers, in cash (subject to the withholding of any amount which is required by law to be withheld on account of tax, including but not limited to amounts due on account of UK Employment Taxes) the Earn-out Amount, if greater than zero, in accordance with Schedule 5.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive that portion of the Earn-out Amount set opposite its name in Part 1 of Schedule 1, and Class C Shareholders shall not be entitled to receive any portion of the Earn-out Amount. Part 4 of Schedule 5 shall apply with effect from Completion.

any such UKET Clearance is first submitted to the Sellers' Representative for review and comment prior to being submitted to H.M. Revenue & Customs;

(b)

the Sellers' Representative and his duly appointed agents and advisers shall be permitted a reasonable period of time in which to provide such review and comment; and

(c)

Buyer shall use reasonable endeavours to incorporate reasonable comments of the Sellers' Representative timely notified to the Buyer into the UKET Clearance prior to its submission to H.M. Revenue & Customs.

4.8

The Total Consideration shall be deemed to be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate amount (if any) paid by the Sellers to the Buyer under or pursuant to all Title Claims and the aggregate amount of all deductions by the Buyer made pursuant to clause 4.2; provided that the Total Consideration shall not be deemed to be reduced below zero.

4.9

Nothing in clause 4.8 shall be treated as limiting the amount that the Buyer may recover from the Sellers under any provision of this agreement.

an amount equal to the Company's good faith estimate (which estimate shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer) of the amount by which the Taxable Consideration payable to such Option Seller in respect of their Option Shares exceeds the aggregate exercise price that the Option Seller has irrevocably undertaken to pay to the Trustee in order to exercise their Option prior to Completion (as set out alongside the Option Seller's name in column 4 of Part 3 of Schedule 1),

and the amounts withheld pursuant to clause 4.10(a) shall be paid to the Trustee and the amounts withheld pursuant to clause 4.10(b) shall be paid to the Company (as set out in the Payment Schedule).

apply the amounts withheld pursuant to clause 4.10(b) (and received by the Company pursuant to clause 4.10) in discharging UK Employment Taxes arising in connection with the exercise of the Options and, to the extent that the liability of an Option Seller to pay any such UK Employment Taxes is less than the amount deducted from such Option Seller’s Estimated Adjusted Consideration pursuant to clause 4.10(b), the Company shall pay an amount equal to the difference to the relevant Option Seller; and

Subject always to clause 7, the Buyer's entitlement to make deductions in accordance with clause 4.5(b) and this clause 6 constitute the Buyer's sole recourse and remedy in respect of any entitlement to receive an Adjustment Payment under clause 4.5(b) or in connection with any Relevant Claim, other than a Title Claim, which has been finally decided (all other rights and remedies being waived by the Buyer). The Parties acknowledge that the Sellers have no entitlement to any monies released to the Buyer from the Escrow Account or deducted by the Buyer in accordance with the terms of this agreement.

6.2

The Buyer shall be entitled to deduct any Liability Amounts in respect of any Relevant Claims that are finally decided in favour of the Buyer prior to the Adjustment Date from the Adjustment Payment to be paid to the Paying Agent for and on behalf of the Sellers pursuant to clause 4.5(a). To the extent any such Liability Amount(s) exceed the amount of any Adjustment Payment due to the Sellers, the Buyer shall be entitled to deduct the excess in accordance with clauses 6.3 and 6.4, subject to clause 6.1.

6.3

Escrow

(a)

The Buyer shall be entitled to the release of funds from the Escrow Account in respect of any Additional Consideration Deductions due to it pursuant to clause 4.2. The Buyer and the Sellers' Representative shall procure the release of funds from the Escrow Account to the Buyer in respect of (i) any Adjustment Payment to be paid to the Buyer in accordance with clause 4.5(b), and (ii) the Liability Amount of any Relevant Claims which have been finally decided in favour of the Buyer. If the Escrow Balance is less than the amount which the Buyer is entitled to receive pursuant to this clause 6.3(a), the Buyer and the Sellers' Representative shall procure the release of the Escrow Balance to the Buyer and the Buyer, as its remaining recourse, shall be entitled to deduct any remaining amount from the Earn-out Amount in accordance with clause 6.4, subject to clause 6.1;

(b)

On the second anniversary of the Completion Date (the "Expiry Date"):

(i)

if there is no Relevant Claim outstanding and which has not been finally decided, the Escrow Account Balance shall be released to the Payment Agent for and on behalf of the Sellers; or

(ii)

if any Relevant Claim remains outstanding and which has not been finally decided and the Escrow Balance is greater than zero, an amount equal to the alleged amount of such claim shall be retained in the Escrow Account (or the remaining balance, if less than such alleged amount) and the remainder (if any) of the Escrow Account shall be released to the Payment Agent for and on behalf of the Sellers;

in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(c)

If and to the extent any amount is retained in the Escrow Account after the Expiry Date by reason of clause 6.3(b), then promptly after all Relevant Claims outstanding on the Expiry Date are withdrawn or finally decided and all monies required by clause 6.3(a) to be released to the Buyer in respect of the Relevant Claims have been released, the Escrow Balance shall be released to the Payment Agent for and on behalf of the Sellers.

(d)

The Sellers' Representative and the Buyer shall procure that joint instructions required to give full effect to the provisions of this clause 6 are duly executed and delivered to the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

(e)

Any monies to so released or paid to the Payment Agent shall be allocated among the Sellers in accordance with their respective entitlements as set forth in Parts 1 or 2 as applicable of Schedule 1.

(f)

If and to the extent the Escrow Amount is increased by the Working Capital Supplement in accordance with clause 4.4(a) and on the Adjustment Date

(i)

Working Capital as set forth in the Closing Statement equals or exceeds (ie is less negative than) Working Capital as set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement, the Buyer and the Sellers' Representative shall procure that an amount equal to the Working Capital Supplement is released to the Sellers from the Escrow Account; or

(ii)

Working Capital as set forth in the Closing Statement is less than Working Capital as set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement, the Buyer and the Sellers' Representative shall procure that an amount equal to the difference between the Working Capital as set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement and the Working Capital as set forth in the Closing Statement (which should be a positive number) is released from the Escrow Account to the Buyer.

To the extent the amount released to the Buyer pursuant to clause 6.3(f)(ii) is less than the amount of the Working Capital Supplement, the Buyer and the Sellers' Representative shall procure that an amount equal to the difference between the Working Capital as set forth in the Closing Statement and the Target Working Capital (which should be a positive number) is released to the Sellers from the Escrow Account.

As an example and for the avoidance of doubt, if the Working Capital as set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement is -$1,500,000, the Working Capital Supplement would be $600,000 (-$1,500,000 minus -$2,100,000).

Then, if the Working Capital as set forth in the Closing Statement is -$1,400,000, the Working Capital Supplement would be released to the Sellers, and the Buyer would make an additional payment of $100,000 (-$1,400,000 minus -$1,500,000) to the Sellers.

However, if the Working Capital as set forth in the Closing Statement is -$1,700,000, then $200,000 (-$1,500,000 minus -$1,700,000) would be released to the Buyer, and $400,000 (-$1,700,000 minus -$2,100,000) would be released to the Sellers.

(g)

Within 30 days from the date the IRS Claim is finally decided, the Buyer and the Sellers' Representative shall procure

(i)

that the liability amount of the Company for such IRS Claim (including interest and penalties and reasonable advisors and legal fees and expenses) shall be released to the Buyer from the Escrow Account; and

(ii)

to the extent that the IRS Claim Supplement exceeds the amount released to the Buyer pursuant to clause 6.3(g)(i) or if the IRS Claim is decided on terms that no sum is payable to the IRS in connection therewith, that an amount equal to the excess or as the case may be the entire IRS Claim Supplement, shall be released to the Sellers from the Escrow Account.

6.4

Earn-out

(a)

Subject to clause 6.4(c), if at any time prior to the Earn-out Payment Date any Relevant Claim has been finally decided in favour of the Buyer, the Buyer may deduct from the Earn-out Amount the Liability Amount in respect of such Relevant Claim and may apply the amount so deducted in satisfaction of such claim.

(b)

Subject to clause 6.4(c), if on the Earn-out Payment Date any Relevant Claim remains outstanding and has not been finally decided, the Buyer is entitled to withhold from the Earn-out Amount otherwise due pursuant to clause 4.6 an amount equal to the Buyer's good faith estimate of the Liability Amount of such Relevant Claim. Any amount so withheld shall not then be due to the Sellers in question until and to the extent the Relevant Claim is finally decided in favour of the relevant Sellers. If the Relevant Claim is finally decided in favour of the Buyer, in respect of that Relevant Claim, the Buyer may deduct from any payment which would, but for the operation of this clause 6.4(b), then be due in respect of the Earn-out Amount, the Liability Amount in respect of the Relevant Claim and may apply the amount so deducted in satisfaction of that claim, and the balance (if any) of the amount withheld shall then become due to the Sellers in question.

(c)

If and to the extent any Relevant Claim may also be the subject of a claim under the Insurance Policy, the Buyer shall first make a claim under the Insurance Policy in respect of that Relevant Claim and shall use all reasonable endeavours to recover such claim (provided the Buyer shall not be obliged to commence legal proceedings against the insurers) prior to deducting any monies from the Earn-out Amount pursuant to this clause 6.4. If the insurers refuse to make a payment under the Insurance Policy in respect of that Relevant Claim the Buyer shall only be obliged to continue to claim against the insurers if the Sellers' Representative requires it to do so and for and on behalf of some or all of the Specified Shareholders pays all third party costs, fees and expenses incurred in making such claim (including without limitation legal fees and expenses). For the avoidance of doubt, the Sellers’ Representative shall not be requested to pay the amount of any deductible under the Insurance Policy, but without prejudice to any ability that the Buyer may have to make a deduction pursuant to clause 6.4(b) in respect of the amount of that deductible. If any insurance claim is not finally decided on the Earn-out Payment Date, then the Buyer may deduct or withhold any monies pursuant to clauses 6.4(a) or 6.4(b). For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent monies are withheld from the Earn-out Amount in respect of any claim and the Buyer receives a payment under the Insurance Policy in respect of such claim, then the Buyer shall pay to the Payment Agent, for and on behalf of the relevant Sellers the amount so received.

6.5

For the purposes of this clause 6:-

(a)

"Relevant Claim" shall mean any Claim, Title Claim, Tax Claim or Indemnity Claim or claim for breach of clauses 8.1, 9.6, or 21.4;

(b)

a Relevant Claim must be notified by the Buyer to the Sellers' Representative, together with details of the amount alleged to be due in respect of it, before the Expiry Date if it is to be capable of giving the Buyer rights under and be subject to clause 6.3;

(c)

a Relevant Claim shall be deemed to have been withdrawn if legal proceedings in respect of it shall not have been commenced by being both issued and served on the Warrantors, on or before the expiry of the date falling 12 months from the date on which the claim is notified to the Warrantors;

(d)

a Relevant Claim shall be deemed to be finally decided if either:-

(i)

so determined by a court of competent jurisdiction from which there is no appeal or from whose judgment the applicable defendant(s) or the Buyer does not appeal within any applicable time limits (ignoring any extension of time which any such court may be empowered to grant); or

(ii)

the applicable defendant(s) and the Buyer shall so agree in writing.

The Buyer may, at any time prior to Completion, terminate this agreement if any of the Conditions set forth in clause 2.1(c), 2.2(a) or 2.2(b) is not satisfied by 9:00 a.m. on the Completion Date or has, before that date, become incapable of satisfaction.

7.2

If the Buyer becomes entitled to exercise its right to terminate this agreement pursuant to clause 7.1 and:

(a)

22.3

Any full or partial release or waiver by any Party in favour of another of such Party's rights under this agreement will only be binding if given in writing. Subject to clauses 7.2 any such release or waiver will:

22.8

Except where expressly provided to the contrary, the rights and remedies reserved to any Party under any provision of this agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents shall be in addition and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to such Party by statute, common law or otherwise.

22.11

Except as set forth herein and whether or not Completion occurs, each Party shall pay its own costs and expenses in connection with the preparation and carrying into effect of this agreement and the other Transaction Documents, save that the Buyer shall cause the Company to pay on Completion the Company's Transaction Expenses up to the extent such amounts are deducted from the Consideration due to the Sellers at Completion.

to be indemnified by the Buyer;

(b)

to claim a contribution from another guarantor of the Buyer 's obligations;
