5. COMPLETION

5.1 Completion shall take place electronically on 2 August 2021, or on such other date as may be agreed between the Lead Institutional Seller and the Purchaser in writing (such date being, the “Completion Date”).

To the extent not paid at or before Completion, the Purchaser shall procure that all Disclosed Seller Transaction Costs and any other Seller Transaction Costs notified in a Deferred Completion Schedule served under Clause 5.4(a) or Clause 5.5 (together with any VAT thereon to the extent not already taken into account in the calculation of such Disclosed Seller Transaction Costs or other Seller Transaction Costs) shall be promptly settled by the Group on or within three (3) Business Days after Completion.

5.3 The Sellers shall not be obliged to complete the sale and transfer of the Shares unless and until the Purchaser has complied in full with its obligations in Clause 5.2.

5.5 Where the Completion Date is deferred to any later date in accordance with Clause 5.1 or Clause 5.4(a), the Share Consideration payable upon Completion shall be increased by an amount equal to £10,854 per day in the period from (and excluding) 2 August 2021 to (and including) the date of Completion (the “Cumulative Daily Amount”) and the Lead Institutional Seller may deliver a Deferred Completion Schedule to the Purchaser not less than five (5) Business Days before the deferred Completion Date detailing the updated allocation of the updated Share Consideration between each of the Sellers.

5.6 Where a Deferred Completion Schedule includes a Leakage Amount (including in respect of any additional Seller Transaction Costs in excess of the Disclosed Seller Transaction Costs) the amount of the Share Consideration payable to a Seller shall be reduced (without double-counting) by the aggregate of (the "Deductible Leakage Amount"): (a) the Leakage Amount that relates to such Seller, if any, where such Leakage Amount is received or benefited from by such particular Seller only (as set out in the Deferred Completion Schedule) and (b) such Seller's relevant proportion of any amount that has been notified in writing to the Purchaser by the Lead Institutional Seller on behalf of all Sellers where such Leakage Amount is deemed received by all Sellers in accordance with this Agreement. The reduction of the Share Consideration payable to a Seller by the Deductible Leakage Amount shall discharge the relevant Seller’s obligation to make payment of such Leakage Amount under Clause 6 (Leakage). Each Seller agrees that any Deductible Leakage Amount may be reflected in the Deferred Completion Schedule and any such Deductible Leakage Amount notified in a Deferred Completion Schedule in accordance with this Clause 5.6 shall be deducted from the Share Consideration that would otherwise be payable to such Seller under Clause 3.2.

covenants to pay to the Purchaser upon written demand from the Purchaser in accordance with Clause 6.3, an amount in cash equal to the amount or value of any Leakage received (or deemed to have been received in accordance with the definition of Leakage) by it and/or by any of its Related Persons and/or in respect of which it and/or any of its Related Persons has actually benefitted.

6.3 No Seller shall be liable to make a payment under this Clause 6 unless the Purchaser has notified such Seller (as the case may be) in writing of the occurrence of the Leakage to which any such payment relates, stating in reasonable detail and including all reasonably available supporting material the nature of such Leakage and, if practicable, the amount claimed, on or before the date falling six (6) months after the Completion Date.

6.4 No liability shall attach to any Seller in relation to an amount of Leakage to the extent that such Leakage has been recovered by the Purchaser or any of member of the Purchaser Group (including for these purposes, the Group) from another party to this Agreement and/or pursuant to the Management Warranty Deed, and accordingly the Purchaser may only recover once in respect of any particular item of Leakage. Nothing herein shall require the Purchaser to bring any other claim in respect of any particular item of Leakage before bringing a claim against the Sellers for Leakage under this Clause 6.

6.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no transaction undertaken on an arms' length basis and in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice between (x) any Group Company, on the one hand, and (y) (i) any other portfolio company of any Institutional Seller or its Related Persons, or (ii) any direct or indirect investor in any fund managed or advised by any member of an Institutional Seller's Group or any of their respective Related Persons, on the other hand, shall be deemed to constitute Leakage.

(b) it shall not agree to any amendment, variation or waiver of the W&I Policy (or do anything which has a similar effect) which has the effect of increasing the liability of the Sellers under this Agreement or the W&I Policy without the prior written consent of the Institutional Sellers and the Management Representative (in their absolute discretion).

9.7 No Seller shall be liable in respect of any Seller Claim unless written notice of such Seller Claim is given by the Purchaser to the Institutional Sellers and the Management Representative on or before the date falling:

(a) in the case of a claim under Clause 6 for Leakage, within the time period provided in Clause 6.3;

(b) in the case of a claim under Clause 15 (Restrictive Covenants), three (3) months after (and excluding) the date on which the relevant undertakings expire in accordance with this Agreement; and

in each case, specifying, in such detail as is reasonably available to the Purchaser at the time, the legal and factual basis of the Seller Claim and, if reasonably practicable, the amount likely to be claimed.

9.8 Where a breach giving rise to a Seller Claim is capable of remedy, no Seller shall be liable in respect of such Seller Claim if the breach (including all reasonable and proper out-of-pocket

costs actually incurred in investigating and pursuing the Seller Claim) is remedied within sixty (60) days after notice of the Seller Claim is given under Clause 9.7.

9.9 If notice of a Seller Claim is served by the Purchaser under Clause 9.7, no Seller shall be liable in respect of such Seller Claim (if such Seller Claim has not been satisfied or settled) unless legal proceedings in respect of such Seller Claim are both issued and served within six (6) months after (and excluding) the date on which notice is served on all applicable Sellers (or, in the case of a Seller Claim in respect of a contingent liability or where Clause 9.4 applies, six (6) months after (and excluding) the date on which the liability became actual or the claim under W&I Policy has been finally settled or determined.

9.10 Without prejudice to Clause 9.7, no Seller shall be liable in respect of any liability which is contingent unless and until such contingent liability becomes an actual liability and is due and payable, provided that this Clause shall not operate to avoid a claim made in respect of a contingent liability within the applicable time limits specified in Clause 9.7 if the notice of that claim has been served before the expiry of the relevant period (even if that liability does not become an actual liability until after the expiry of that period).

9.11 No Seller shall be liable in respect of any Seller Claim to the extent that the Seller Claim arises, or is increased, as a result of any matter or thing done, or omitted to be done pursuant to and in compliance with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or at the written request of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.

9.12 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Transaction Documents, the Purchaser shall (and shall cause each Group Company to) take all reasonable steps to avoid or mitigate any loss or liability that may give rise to a Seller Claim.

9.13 No Seller shall be liable for any consequential losses, loss of profits or goodwill or damages calculated on a multiple valuation theory or any reputational, punitive or aggravated damages.

9.14 In assessing any damages or other amounts recoverable in respect of a Seller Claim, there shall be taken into account any corresponding savings by, or net benefit to, a Group Company or the Purchaser, including (but not limited to) any Tax benefit or any Relief which can reasonably be expected to actually reduce the Tax paid or payable by (or give rise to a repayment in respect of Tax to) a Group Company in respect of an accounting period of such Group Company: current at Completion (or, if later, current at the point in time when the Seller Claim arises); or immediately subsequent to such accounting period, and which would not have arisen but for the fact, matter or circumstance giving rise to the Seller Claim and, for those purposes, the amount of Tax which is reasonably expected to be so saved, repaid, credited, claimed or otherwise recovered by reason of such Tax benefit or Relief shall be the amount which is taken into account.

9.15 If any Seller has paid an amount in discharge of any Seller Claim, and the Purchaser or any Group Company recovers from a third party a sum that indemnifies or compensates the Purchaser or Group Company (in whole or in part) for the losses which are the subject matter of such Seller Claim, the Purchaser or the relevant Group Company shall pay to the applicable Seller as soon as practicable after receipt of such sum an amount equal to:

(a) the sum recovered from the third party less any costs and expenses reasonably and properly incurred in obtaining such recovery and less any Taxation attributable to the recovery after taking account of any Relief available in respect of any matter giving rise to the Seller Claim (and if such amount relates to more than one Seller, such amount shall be split on a pro rata basis between the Sellers to the extent of the payment made to discharge such Seller Claim); or

(b) if less, the amount previously paid by such Seller to the Purchaser less any Taxation attributable to it.

9.16 From and after Completion, the Purchaser shall indemnify (on an after-Tax basis) and hold harmless the Institutional Sellers and each of their Affiliates from and against any and all Tax liability to the extent resulting from a failure of any Group Company to satisfy in full any Tax liability of a Group Company arising after Completion which is then assessed on an Institutional Seller or any of its Affiliates (together with all interest, penalties and reasonable costs and expenses properly incurred by the relevant Institutional Seller or its Affiliates in connection therewith).

9.17 The Purchaser acknowledges that the information contained in the Information Memorandum and other information contained in the Data Room or otherwise provided or made available to the Purchaser, the Purchaser’s Group or any of their respective advisers, brokers, agents, consultants and/or representatives was provided to it on the basis that neither the Sellers nor any of their respective advisers makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of such information or accepts any duty of care to the Purchaser in respect of the provision of such information.

9.18 The Purchaser acknowledges that no Seller shall be liable in respect of a Seller Claim arising out of or in connection with a breach of Clause 7 (Seller Warranties) if the Purchaser has knowledge of the Seller Claim prior to or on the date of this Agreement. For the purposes of this Clause, Purchaser's knowledge means the actual knowledge of ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ following due and reasonable enquiry of the Purchaser’s professional advisers and legal representatives in relation to the Proposed Transaction.

9.19 Without prejudice to the rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents, any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, the Existing D&O Policy and/or the Run-Off Policy:

(a) save in respect of the obligations or liabilities owed to a Management Seller in his or her capacity as an employee, officer and/or director of a Group Company (each of which are expressly excluded from this release and waiver), each Seller covenants with the Purchaser that with effect from Completion he, she or it shall, and the Institutional Sellers shall ensure that each of its Relevant Affiliates shall, irrevocably release and discharge each member of the Group, officer, employee or director (except for any director appointed by such Seller) from any and all liabilities owed to that Seller or its Relevant Affiliates and each Seller irrevocably waives, and the Institutional Sellers shall procure that each of its Relevant Affiliates shall irrevocably waive, any and all claims (in the absence of fraud) it has or may have against a member of the Group or any of its officers, employees or directors;

(b) each Affirming Management Seller confirms that as at the date of this Agreement (other than any claim in respect of accrued salary, benefits and/or bonus) he/she has no grounds to bring a claim against any Group Company; and

(c) each Covenantor and each Founder confirms that as at the date of this Agreement, so far as such Covenantor or Founder (as the case may be) is actually aware: (i) none of his or her Related Persons has a claim against any Group Company; and (ii) no Management Seller (who is not a Covenantor or a Founder), nor its Related Persons has any claim against any Group Company (other than, in each case, any claim in respect of accrued salary, benefits and/or bonus).

9.20 Without prejudice to the rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents, any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, the Existing D&O Policy and the Run-Off Policy

(each of which are expressly excluded from this release and waiver), the Purchaser covenants with the Sellers that with effect from Completion (save in respect of the obligations or liabilities owed by a Management Seller in his or her capacity as an employee, officer and/or director of a Group Company) the Purchaser shall ensure that each member of the Group shall irrevocably release and discharge each Seller and the Institutional Seller’s Relevant Affiliates (and any director appointed by such Seller) from any and all liabilities owed to any member of the Group and the Purchaser shall procure that each member of the Group shall irrevocably waive, any and all claims (in the absence of fraud) it has or may have against a Seller and the Institutional Seller’s Relevant Affiliates (and any director appointed by a Seller).

9.21 In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Clause 9 and any other provisions of this Agreement, this Clause 9 shall prevail.

10. ASSIGNMENT

10.1 Except as provided in this Clause 10 or unless the Lead Institutional Seller and the Purchaser specifically agree in writing, no person shall assign, transfer, hold on trust or encumber all or any of its rights under this Agreement nor shall such person grant, declare, create or dispose of any right or interest in any of them. Any purported assignment, declaration of trust, transfer, sub-contracting, delegation, charging or dealing in contravention of this Clause 10 shall be void and ineffective.

10.3 If an assignment is made in accordance with this Clause 10, the liability of each of the Sellers to the Purchaser under this Agreement shall be no greater than such liability would have been if the assignment had not occurred, and all the rights, benefits and protections afforded to a party shall continue to apply to the benefit of that party as against the assignee as they would have applied as against the assigning party.

11. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION; ANNOUNCEMENTS

11.1 Subject to Clause 11.2, each party shall treat as strictly confidential and not disclose or use any information received or obtained as a result of entering into a Transaction Document (or any agreement entered into pursuant to a Transaction Document) that relates to the following (“Confidential Information”):

(a) such disclosure or use is required by applicable law, rule or regulation, by any competent judicial, governmental or regulatory body or securities exchange to which the disclosing party is subject, and disclosure shall then only be made by that party:

(i) after it has taken all such steps as may be reasonable in the circumstances to agree to the contents of such announcement with the other party to whom obligations would otherwise be owed under Clauses 11.1 or 11.2 in relation to such information before making such announcement and provided that, to the extent legally permissible, any such announcement shall be made only after notice to such other party; and

(ii) to the person or persons and in the manner required by law or such regulatory body or such securities exchange or as otherwise agreed between the Lead Institutional Seller and the Purchaser;

(b) such disclosure or use is required for the purpose of any judicial proceedings arising out of any Transaction Document or any ancillary agreement thereto;

(d) disclosure is made to its Related Persons and/or its Representatives (and/or their respective advisers) which is reasonably required for purposes connected with a Transaction Document, provided that (i) the person to whom such disclosure is made is informed of the confidential nature of the information disclosed, (ii) the confidentiality obligations of this Clause 11 shall continue in relation to the person to whom such disclosure is made as if a primary obligor under Clause 11.1 and 11.2; and (iii) the disclosing party shall remain responsible for any deemed breach thereof by the person to whom such disclosure is made;

11.4 The restrictions contained in this Clause 11 shall apply without limit of time.

11.5 The Confidentiality Agreement shall (and the Purchaser shall procure that the Confidentiality Agreement shall) terminate on Completion (without prejudice to any rights, liabilities or obligations that have accrued prior to termination).

12. PAYMENTS

12.1 Any payment to be made pursuant to this Agreement by the Purchaser (or a member of the Purchaser Group) to an Institutional Seller shall be made to such account as is set out in the Completion Schedule in respect of such Institutional Seller or such account as notified by such Institutional Seller to the Purchaser in writing at least two (2) Business Days before the date of such payment.

12.3 Payments under Clauses 12.1 and 12.2 shall be in immediately available funds by electronic transfer (for same day value) on the due date for payment. Receipt of the amount due shall be an effective discharge of the relevant payment obligation. The Purchaser shall take all reasonable steps and exercise its control rights over the Company to give effect to the Payments Administration Letter and shall not take any steps to delay the payments due thereunder.

12.4 If any sum due for payment in accordance with this Agreement is not paid on the due date for payment, the person in default shall pay Default Interest on that sum from but excluding the due date to and including the date of actual payment calculated on a daily basis.

13. SET-OFF AND WITHHOLDINGS

13.1 Except as expressly contemplated in this Agreement or any Allocation Side Letter, no party will be entitled to assert any credit, set-off or counterclaim against any other party in order to justify withholding payment of any amount owed in connection with this Agreement in whole or in part.

13.2 Any amount payable by any party to another party shall be made in full and free from any deduction or withholding whatsoever, except as required by law. If any deduction or withholding is required by law from an amount payable to a party, the sum due from the relevant party shall be increased by such amount as to ensure that the recipient receives such sum as, after such deduction or withholding has been made, leaves the recipient with the same amount as it would have been entitled to receive in the absence of any such requirement to make a deduction or withholding.

13.3 If any sum payable under this Agreement other than the Share Consideration or the Deferred Payment is chargeable to Tax (other than by way of deduction or withholding), then the payor shall pay such additional amount as will ensure that, after payment of such Tax, the payee receives the same amount which it would otherwise have received under this Agreement if no such Tax had arisen.

13.4 To the extent that any deduction, withholding or Tax results in an additional amount being paid under Clause 13.2 or 13.3 above, the payee shall use reasonable endeavours to obtain any Relief which arises in connection with such deduction, withholding, Tax or additional amount, and, where the payee obtains such a Relief, the payee shall pay to the payer, within 10 Business Days of obtaining the benefit of the Relief, an amount equal to the lesser of the value of the Relief obtained and the additional sum paid under Clause 13.2 or 13.3 above.

13.5 Clause 13.2 or 13.3 above shall not apply to the extent that the deduction, withholding or Tax would not have arisen (or would have arisen at a reduced rate) but for an assignment by the payee of any of its rights under this Agreement.

14. COSTS

14.1 Unless expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of the parties shall bear its own costs and expenses connected with the Proposed Transaction.

14.2 Each of the parties agrees and acknowledges that the Company (or any other member of the Group, as the case may be) shall pay the Disclosed Seller Transaction Costs and any other Seller Transaction Costs notified in a Deferred Completion Schedule served under Clause 5.4(a) or Clause 5.5 (together with any VAT thereon to the extent not already taken into account in the calculation of such Disclosed Seller Transaction Costs or other Seller Transaction Costs).

14.3 The Purchaser shall bear all costs, charges and expenses relating to all stamp duty, stamp duty reserve tax or other documentary, transfer or registration duties or taxes or notary and notarial transfer fees (including in each case any related interest or penalties) arising as a result of the entry into or implementation of this Agreement, which shall be paid within the requisite period provided by applicable law.

15. RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

15.1 Each Covenantor and each Founder agrees (in respect of himself or herself only, and not in respect of any other Covenantors) for the benefit of the Purchaser that such Covenantor shall not, directly or indirectly, alone or jointly with any other person for the Restricted Period, carry on, be employed or otherwise be engaged, concerned or interested in any capacity (whether as shareholder, director, employee, sub-contractor, partner, consultant, proprietor, agent or otherwise and whether or not for reward) in, any Competing Business within the Restricted Area which is or would be in competition with or to the detriment of any Group Company.

15.2 Nothing in this Clause 15 shall prevent:

(a) any Covenantor or Founder, after Completion, from:

(i) owning for investment purposes securities in any company dealt in on a stock exchange provided that they do not exceed three (3) per cent. in nominal value of the securities in that company (or of any class of its securities);

(ii) owning securities in any company or being an officer or employee or consultant of any company provided that the annual revenue from the sales of the Competing Business of such company (together with its group) do not exceed ten (10) per cent. of the total annual revenue of such company’s group); or

(iii) performing his obligations under any Transaction Document and/or under any other agreement which such Covenantor may enter into with Purchaser or any Group Company;

(b) ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ from:

(i) continuing in his role as a director of Fitzroi Apparel Limited and from holding less than 5% of the share capital thereof;

(ii) continuing in his role as a director of Rhone Apparel, Inc. and from holding less than 5% of the share capital thereof,

provided that ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not share the Confidential Information with any such Competing Business.

(c) either Founder from providing part-time consultancy services to any Competing Business with an annual turnover of less than £2,000,000 in its financial year, provided that each Founder shall treat any Confidential Information in accordance with Clause 11 and, in particular, shall not share Confidential Information with any such Competing Business and such Competing Business shall not publicly associate itself with either Founder. If the annual turnover of such Competing Business becomes £2,000,000 or greater in its financial year, the relevant Founder shall not have any liability under this Clause 15 if the relevant Founder terminates the relevant consultancy arrangement within two weeks of becoming aware that the annual turnover of such Competing Business for the relevant financial year has reached or exceeded £2,000,000. For the purposes of this Clause 15.2(c), knowledge of a Founder means the actual knowledge of such Founder after having reviewed the final financial year results provided to such Founder in respect of the Competing Business.

15.3 No Covenantor shall (whether alone, jointly with another, directly or indirectly) during the Restricted Period offer to employ, solicit or seek to entice away from any Group Company any Senior Employee who was employed by any Group Company at the date of this Agreement (a “Restricted Person”), providing that the foregoing will not preclude any Covenantor from:

(a) advancing offers of employment to a Restricted Person following any bona fide public advertisements or general media solicitation for employment where the advertisement or solicitation is not specifically directed at any Restricted Person; or

(b) from soliciting or employing any person whose employment with the Purchaser Group has been terminated at least six (6) months prior to such solicitation or employment and provided that such response or termination was not solicited or induced directly or indirectly by that Covenantor.

15.4 Each undertaking contained in this Clause 15 shall be read and construed independently of the other undertakings and as an entirely separate and severable undertaking.

15.5 Each Covenantor, having obtained professional advice, acknowledges and agrees that the covenants contained in this Clause 15 are no more extensive than is reasonable to protect the legitimate interests of the Group and of the Purchaser.

15.6 Whilst the undertakings in this Clause 15 are considered by the Purchaser and the Covenantors to be reasonable in all the circumstances, if any one or more should for any reason be held to be invalid, but would have been held to be valid if part of the wording were

deleted or modified, the undertakings shall apply with the minimum modifications necessary to make them valid and effective.

15.7 Institutional Sellers' Non-solicit

(a) Except pursuant to a general media solicitation not targeted at any individual employee, from the date of this Agreement until 15 months after Completion, each Institutional Seller shall ensure that it and its Relevant Affiliates (excluding any portfolio companies of, or a shareholder, member or limited partner in, such Relevant Affiliates) shall not (whether alone, jointly with another, directly or indirectly) take any active steps to (directly or indirectly) request any portfolio company in its Institutional Seller’s Group to hire, offer to employ or seek to entice away from any Group Company any Covenantor and ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (provided that such person was employed by a Group Company in the six (6) months prior to the relevant breach of this Clause 15.7). For the avoidance of doubt, Associated British Foods plc shall be deemed to be a portfolio company of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Investments Limited for the purposes of this Clause 15.7.

(b) Each Institutional Seller acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Clause 15.7 are no greater than is reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Purchaser's legitimate interests as the purchaser of the Institutional Shares owned by that Institutional Seller. If any of these restrictions are held to be invalid or unenforceable, but would be valid and enforceable if part of the wording of the restriction were deleted, the restriction shall apply with such modifications as are necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

15.8 The covenants in this Clause 15 may be enforced by any Group Company (for so long as it is a member of the Purchaser Group and the Company’s Group) against the relevant Institutional Seller(s) and/or the Covenantors (as the case may be) under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇.

16. GUARANTEE

16.1 In consideration of the Sellers entering into this Agreement and at the request of the Sellers, the Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) guarantees to each Seller (and to each member of an Institutional Seller’s Group) as a continuing and primary obligation that the Purchaser will properly and punctually perform its obligations, commitments and undertakings under or in connection with this Agreement and each Transaction Document; and

(b) agrees and undertakes that whenever the Purchaser does not pay in whole or in part any amount when due and payable arising under or in connection with this Agreement and/or any Transaction Document, it shall immediately on demand pay that outstanding amount as if the Guarantor was the principal obligor.

16.2 The Guarantor’s obligations under Clause 16.1 are primary obligations and not those of a mere surety and shall remain in force notwithstanding any time or indulgence in favour of the Purchaser. The Guarantor’s obligations under Clause 16.1 are continuing obligations and shall remain in full force and effect until all payment obligations of the Purchaser arising under or in connection with this Agreement and/or any Transaction Document have been fully and unconditionally discharged and satisfied and all sums payable by the Purchaser to the Sellers in connection with them have been fully paid.

(f) any other act, omission, event or circumstance (whether or not known to any Seller or any member of an Institutional Seller’s Group) which but for this Clause 16 might prejudice or otherwise affect the liability of the Guarantor under this Clause 16 or any of the rights, powers or remedies conferred upon the Purchaser, the Guarantor or any member of the Purchaser’s Group or any Institutional Seller, a member of any Institutional Seller’s Group or the Group or by law.

16.4 In consideration of the Sellers entering into this Agreement, as a separate, additional continuing and primary obligation, the Guarantor undertakes to indemnify and keep indemnified the Sellers (and indemnify and keep indemnified each member of an Institutional Seller’s Group) against any costs, losses, damages, claims, proceedings and/or disputes suffered or incurred by any of them as a result of any of the Purchaser’s or the Guarantor’s failure to comply properly and punctually with its obligations, commitments, undertakings and warranties under this Agreement or any Transaction Document or any of the Purchaser’s obligations becoming unenforceable, invalid or illegal.

29. LEGAL REPRESENTATION

29.1 The Purchaser, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser Group, acknowledges and agrees that ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP and ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ UK LLP (“▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇”) have acted as counsel for the Institutional Sellers and the Company, and Pinsent Masons LLP (“Pinsent Masons” and, together with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, “Legal Counsel”) have acted as counsel for the Management Sellers, each in connection with this Agreement and the Proposed Transactions (the “Acquisition Engagement”), and in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, neither ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ nor Pinsent Masons have acted as counsel for any other person, including the Purchaser.

29.2 Only the Institutional Sellers and the Company and their respective Affiliates shall be considered clients of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ in the Acquisition Engagement. Only the Management Sellers and their respective Affiliates shall be considered clients of Pinsent Masons in the Acquisition Engagement. The Purchaser, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser Group acknowledges and agrees that all confidential communications between the Sellers, the Company and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ or Pinsent Masons, on the other hand, in the course of the Acquisition Engagement, and any attendant legal or professional privilege, work product protection, and expectation of client confidentiality applicable thereto, shall be deemed to belong solely (in the case of communications with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇) to the Institutional Sellers and its Affiliates (other than any Group Company) or (in the case of communications by the Management Sellers with Pinsent Masons) to the Management Sellers and their respective Affiliates (other than any Group Company), and not any Group Company, and shall not pass to or be claimed, held, or used by the Purchaser or any Group Company upon or after the Completion. Accordingly, the Purchaser shall not have access to any such communications, or to the files of Legal Counsel relating to the Acquisition Engagement, whether or not the Completion occurs. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Completion, (i) to the extent that files of Legal Counsel in respect of the Acquisition Engagement constitute property of the client, the Institutional Sellers and its Affiliates shall hold such property rights in the case of the files of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ and the relevant Management Sellers shall hold such property rights in the case of the files of Pinsent Masons held solely in respect of such Management Seller, and (ii) Legal Counsel shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to the Company or the Purchaser by reason of any attorney-client relationship between such Legal Counsel and any Group Company or otherwise; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Legal Counsel shall not disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to any third parties (other than representatives, accountants and advisors of any Seller and its Affiliates; provided that such representatives, accounts and advisors are instructed to maintain the confidence of such attorney-client communications). The Purchaser, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser Group irrevocably waives any right it may have to discover or obtain information or documentation relating to the Acquisition Engagement, to the extent that such information or documentation was subject to legal or professional privilege, work product protection or other expectation of confidentiality owed to any Seller and/or its Affiliates. If and to the extent that, at any time after Completion, the Purchaser or any member of the Purchaser Group shall have the right to assert or waive any attorney-client privilege with respect to any communication between any Group Company and any person representing them that occurred at any time prior to the Completion, the Purchaser, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser Group shall be entitled to waive such privilege only with the prior written consent of the Institutional Sellers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).

29.3 The Purchaser, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser Group acknowledges and agrees (i) that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ has acted as counsel for the Institutional Sellers and its Affiliates for several years and that the Institutional Sellers reasonably anticipate that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ may continue to represent it and/or its Affiliates in future matters and (ii) Pinsent Masons has acted as counsel for the Management Sellers, the Group Companies and their respective Affiliates for several years and that the Management Sellers and the Group Companies reasonably

anticipate that Pinsent Masons may continue to represent any one or more them, and/or their respective Affiliates, in future matters. Accordingly, the Purchaser, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser Group expressly:

(a) (i) consents to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇’▇ representation of the Institutional Sellers and/or its Affiliates and/or any of their respective agents (if any of the foregoing persons so desire) in any matter, including, without limitation, any post-Completion matter in which the interests of the Purchaser and any Group Company, on the one hand, and an Institutional Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, are adverse, including any matter relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and whether or not such matter is one in which ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ may have previously advised such Institutional Seller, any Group Company or their respective Affiliates; and (ii) consents to the disclosure by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ to any Institutional Seller or its Affiliates of any information learned by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ in the course of its representation of the Sellers, any Group Company or their respective Affiliates, whether or not such information is subject to legal or professional privilege, attorney work product protection, or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇’▇ duty of confidentiality; and

(b) (i) consents to Pinsent ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ representation of the Management Sellers and/or its Affiliates and/or any of their respective agents (if any of the foregoing persons so desire) in any matter, including, without limitation, any post-Completion matter in which the interests of the Purchaser and any Group Company, on the one hand, and an Management Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, are adverse, including any matter relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and whether or not such matter is one in which Pinsent Masons may have previously advised such Management Seller, any Group Company or their respective Affiliates; and (ii) consents to the disclosure by Pinsent Masons to its instructing Management Seller of any information learned by Pinsent Masons in the course of its representation of such Management Sellers, any Group Company or their respective Affiliates, whether or not such information is subject to legal or professional privilege, attorney work product protection, or Pinsent ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ duty of confidentiality.

29.4 The Purchaser, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser Group further covenants and agrees that each shall not assert any claim against Legal Counsel in respect of legal services provided to any Group Company by such Legal Counsel in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (except to the extent provided in any reliance letter between such Legal Counsel and the Purchaser in respect of the relevant Due Diligence Report prepared by it).

29.5 From and after the Completion, each Group Company shall cease to have any lawyer-client relationship with Legal Counsel, unless and to the extent Legal Counsel is expressly engaged in writing by such Group Company to represent it after the Completion and either in the case of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ (i) such engagement involves no conflict of interest with respect to an Institutional Seller and/or any of its Affiliates or (ii) the affected Institutional Seller and/or any such Affiliate, as applicable, consent in writing to such engagement or in the case of Pinsent Masons (i) such engagement involves no conflict of interest with respect to the relevant Management Seller or (ii) the affected Management Seller consents in writing to such engagement. Any such representation of a Group Company by Legal Counsel after the Completion shall not affect the foregoing provisions hereof. Furthermore, Legal Counsel, in its sole discretion, shall be permitted to withdraw from representing a Group Company in order to represent or continue so representing a Seller, as the case may be.

29.6 The Sellers and the Purchaser consent to the arrangements in this Clause 29 and waive any actual or potential conflict of interest that may be involved in connection with any representation by any Legal Counsel permitted hereunder.

29.7 Each Legal Counsel shall be entitled to enforce this Clause 29 under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇.

AS WITNESS whereof, this Agreement has been executed on the date first above written.
