less the Outstanding Indebtedness;

 

4.1.2

less the Redemption Amount;

 

4.1.3

less the W&I Insurance Contribution;

plus the amount by which the Net Tangible Assets exceeds the Threshold Condition 4 Reserves or less the amount by which the Net Tangible Assets is less than the Threshold Condition 4 Reserves (the “Net Tangible Assets Amount”) as determined pursuant to clause 5.

 

4.2

The Sellers’ Consideration shall be apportioned to the numbers of the Sale Shares held or owned by each of the Sellers as specified in Parts 1 and 3 of Schedule 1 and Appendix 1 and 2 (as applicable) (on the basis that the consideration for one A Ordinary Share will be same as the consideration for one Ordinary Share (less £1) and the consideration for each Deferred Share will be nil). The Buyer shall not be concerned as to the division of any cash payments which may be paid to the Sellers’ Solicitors and Allianz’s Solicitors in accordance with clause 6 whose respective receipt shall be good discharge therefor.

 

4.3

Each Individual Seller authorises the Buyer to pay (on behalf of the Individual Seller concerned) to the Company such amount of his Consideration as is required to discharge, as applicable, the relevant amount of any income tax and employees’ (and, if applicable, employer’s) National Insurance Contributions arising in connection with the exercise of his Options, the Option Exercise Price and the OESIP Share Price (together the “Employment Deductions”).

4.4

Each of the OI Managers authorises the Buyer to pay (on behalf of the OI Manager concerned) to the Company such amount of his Consideration as is required to discharge his obligation to pay his relevant proportion of the OI Consideration as set out in the column headed “OI Consideration” of Part 2 of Schedule 1.

 

4.5

Caledonia Investments Plc authorises the Buyer to pay to the Company from the Consideration due to it £3,349,886.40 (the “Warrant Exercise Price”) in satisfaction in full of its obligation to pay the exercise price which is due and payable on the conversion of the Warrants into Ordinary Shares immediately prior to Completion.

 

5.	ADJUSTMENT OF CONSIDERATION

 

5.1	If the Consideration (it being acknowledged that the only adjustment will be in respect of the Net Tangible Assets Amount which shall be finally determined in accordance with Schedule 4):

exceeds the Estimated Purchase Price, the amount of the surplus being the “Consideration Surplus”, the whole of the Net Asset Retention shall be released in accordance with paragraph 1.1 of Part 1 of Schedule 6; and

If the Consideration (it being acknowledged that the only adjustment will be in respect of the Net Tangible Assets Amount which shall be finally determined in accordance with Schedule 4) is less than the Estimated Purchase Price, the amount of the deficit (the “Consideration Deficit”) shall be payable to the Buyer from the Net Asset Retention and shall be released to the Buyer from the Retention Account in accordance with paragraph 1.2 of Part 1 of Schedule 6 and the balance of the Net Asset Retention (if any) (the “Net Asset Retention Balance”) shall be released in accordance with paragraph 1.2 of Part 1 of Schedule 6. For the avoidance of doubt, the sole recourse of the Buyer in respect of any Consideration Deficit shall be to receive payment from the Retention Account (up to the amount of the Net Asset Retention).

 

5.3	Any payments to the Sellers, the Dragged Sellers or the Deferred Dragged Sellers under clause 5.1 or 5.2 shall be adjustments to the Consideration, and shall be paid in cash within five (5) Business Days of the determination of the Completion Accounts in accordance with Schedule 4.

1.2.2

to the extent there is a Net Asset Retention Balance:

 

28.2.1.1

to the Sellers (other than Allianz), the Sellers’ Initial Proportion of the balance of the Net Asset Retention Balance, such payment to be paid to the Sellers’ Solicitors; and

 

28.2.1.2

to Allianz, Allianz’s Initial Proportion of the balance of the Net Asset Retention Balance, such payment to be paid to Allianz’s Solicitors;

 

28.2.1.3

to the Company, the Dragged Sellers’ Initial Proportion of the balance of the Net Asset Retention Balance for the benefit of the Dragged Sellers (and the Company hereby agrees to remit such balance to the Dragged Sellers in accordance with the Company’s Articles); and

 

28.2.1.4

to the Final Adjustment Account, the Deferred Dragged Sellers’ Initial Proportion of the balance of the Net Asset Retention.

 

1.3	Payment of a balance from the Retention Account in accordance with paragraph 1.2 shall be deemed to be a reduction of the Net Asset Retention but shall not affect the balance of the Deed of Warranty Retention.

The Buyer may at any time or times set off any Due Amount against the balance standing to the credit of the Retention Account up to the amount of the Deed of Warranty Retention and such Due Amount taken out of the Retention Account shall ultimately be deemed to be borne by the Sellers (other than Allianz), Allianz, the Dragged Sellers and the Deferred Dragged Sellers in their respective Final Proportions.

 

PAGE 38

---

1.2

In exercise of its right under paragraph 1.1, the Buyer shall serve written notice on the Sellers’ Representative and the Institutional Sellers’ Representative of its rights in respect of the relevant Due Amount and the Buyer, the Sellers’ Representative and the Institutional Sellers’ Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agents to pay to the Buyer out of the Retention Account the lesser of the Due Amount and the amount standing to the credit of the Retention Account (excluding the amount of the Net Asset Retention).

 

2.	RETAINED AMOUNTS

 

2.1

The Buyer may, in accordance with paragraphs 2.2 to 2.6 below and subject to such notifications being given prior to the Release Date, notify the Sellers’ Representative and the Institutional Sellers’ Representative of its reasonable estimation of the amount of any liability in respect of (a) any bona fide Relevant Claim or (b) any right to recover any sum from a third party (other than the underwriter of the W&I Policy) in respect of a matter which could give rise to a Warranty Claim which the Buyer is pursuing against that third party in accordance with paragraph 7.1 of Schedule 5 of the Deed of Warranty, and, subject to paragraphs 2.2 to 2.6 below, require that such amount is retained in the Retention Account notwithstanding the Release Date, pending such Relevant Claim becoming a Substantiated Claim or agreement or determination that the Relevant Claim will not be or become a Substantiated Claim (a “Retained Amount”).

 

2.2

No withholding of a Retained Amount shall be permitted by the Buyer unless the Buyer has provided written notice thereof to the Institutional Sellers’ Representative and the Sellers’ Representative (a “Retained Amount Notice”). The Institutional Sellers’ Representative and the Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled (acting jointly) within 10 Business Days of the Buyer having served a Retained Amount Notice to give notice to the Buyer stating that it requires the exercise by the Buyer of its rights in respect of the Retained Amount in question pursuant to paragraph 2.1, to be referred for decision to a Queen’s Counsel in England and Wales (of at least 10 years standing and experience in commercial law) (“Queen’s Counsel”).

 

2.3

The Queen’s Counsel referred to in paragraph 2.2 above shall be nominated jointly by the Buyer and the Institutional Sellers’ Representative and the Sellers’ Representative (or in default of agreement by the Chairman for the time being of the Bar Council of England and Wales) and shall be instructed to act as expert and not as arbitrator and to opine on the merits and the quantum of the Relevant Claim in question and as to whether there is a reasonable prospect that such liability or Relevant Claim may be established by judgement in favour of the Buyer in relation to such liability or Relevant Claim. For the purposes of paragraph 2.3, a ‘reasonable prospect’ is one with greater than 50% likelihood of success and, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of contingent liabilities, the Queen’s Counsel’s decision on the Retained Amount shall be made on the same basis and on the assumption that the contingent liability will become an actual liability.

 

2.4

The Queen’s Counsel shall be entitled to seek the opinion of an expert in relation to all financial, accounting and actuarial matters provided always that the Institutional Sellers’ Representative and the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer shall be entitled to make representations to the Queen’s Counsel for the purposes of this paragraph 2.4 including as to the identity of the expert, and shall, to the extent within their control, on request by either the Buyer or the Institutional Sellers’ Representative and Sellers’ Representative, supply to each other or provide reasonable access to copies of supporting non-privileged documentation relating to the Relevant Claim and dispute in question to the extent available in support of such representations.

 

PAGE 39

---

2.5

The decision of the Queen’s Counsel regarding the reasonableness of the Buyer’s estimation of the Relevant Claim underlying a Retained Amount shall be conclusive and shall bind the Sellers and the Buyer and the method of proceeding in reference to the Queen’s Counsel shall be determined by the Queen’s Counsel in his absolute discretion and the Buyer and the Institutional Sellers’ Representative and the Sellers’ Representative shall observe and perform any directions which the Queen’s Counsel may give and shall be bound by any decision which he may make consequent upon any failure to observe and perform any such directions. Costs shall be borne as the Queen’s Counsel directs.

 

2.6	To the extent that:

 

2.6.1

the Queen’s Counsel should decide that any part of the Retained Amount was in excess of a reasonable estimate of the amount of the liability in respect of such Relevant Claim or that there is no reasonable prospect of a judgement in favour of the Buyer in relation to such Relevant Claim; or

 

2.6.2

the Buyer and the Institutional Sellers’ Representative and the Sellers’ Representative agree that any part of the Retained Amount was in excess of a reasonable estimate of the amount of the liability in respect of such Relevant Claim,

then such amount shall be dealt with in accordance with paragraph 3.1 below.

 

3.

RELEASES

 

3.1

Subject as otherwise provided by this Schedule 6 and provided that no Retained Amount Notice has been validly served pursuant to paragraph 2.2 prior to the Release Date the amount (if any) standing to the credit of the Retention Account (including any accrued interest earned on the amount in the Retention Account but less any applicable bank charges) on the Release Date shall be released to the Sellers’ Solicitors for the benefit of the Sellers (other than Allianz), to Allianz’s Solicitors for the benefit of Allianz, and to the Company for the benefit of the Dragged Sellers and the Deferred Dragged Sellers in their respective Final Proportions.

 

3.2

If a bona fide Relevant Claim has been notified by the Buyer to the Sellers’ Representative and the Institutional Sellers’ Representative in accordance with paragraph 2 above prior to the Release Date then, subject to paragraph 2 above such amount as is equal to the credit balance of such account on the Release Date less an amount equal to all Relevant Claims in respect of which a Retained Amount Notice has been served shall be released from the Retention Account in accordance with paragraph 3.1 and the balance of the Retention Account (if any) shall be retained in that account until released in accordance with paragraph 2 of this Schedule 6.

3.3.1

determination or agreement of all Relevant Claims and the satisfaction of all Due Amounts in respect of such Substantiated Claims outstanding (if any) on or after the Release Date; or

 

3.3.2

determination by the Queen’s Counsel or agreement between the Buyer and the Institutional Sellers’ Representative and the Sellers’ Representative on or after the Release Date that any part of the Retained Amount was in excess of a reasonable estimate of the amount of the liability in respect of such Relevant Claim,

 

PAGE 40

---

the Buyer and the Institutional Sellers’ Representative and the Sellers’ Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agents to forthwith pay any balance of such Retained Amount standing to the credit of the Retention Account, less an amount equal to any Retained Amount validly withheld in accordance with paragraph 2, to the Sellers’ Solicitors for the benefit of the Sellers (other than Allianz), to Allianz’s Solicitors for the benefit of Allianz, and to the Company for the benefit of the Dragged Sellers and the Dragged Deferred Sellers in their respective Final Proportions.

 

4.

GENERAL

Payment of any balance from the Retention Account in accordance with paragraph 1, 3.1 or 3.3 shall be deemed to be a reduction of the Deed of Warranty Retention but shall not affect the balance of the Net Asset Retention.

PART 3 - GENERAL

 

1.	INTEREST, CHARGES AND TAXATION

 

1.1	Any interest that may accrue on the credit balance on the Retention Account shall be credited to the Retention Account and any payment of principal out of the Retention Account shall include a payment of the interest earned on such principal sum by the Retention Account.

 

1.2	The liability to taxation on any interest on any amount in the Retention Account shall be borne by the party ultimately entitled to that amount.
