5.9	The Buyer acknowledges that, save in the case of fraud or wilful concealment:

In applying the preceding sentence of this clause 5.11, no account shall be taken of the extent to which any liability to Tax may be mitigated or off-set by any Relief (other than a Principal Shareholders' Relief, as such term is defined in schedule 6) available to the Buyer so that where such Relief is available the additional amount payable hereunder shall be the amount which would have been payable in the absence of such availability. To the extent that the Buyer subsequently obtains and utilises any Relief as a result of a Seller paying to the Buyer the gross-up amount, the Buyer shall pay to the relevant Seller so much of the economic benefit from that Relief which the Buyer has received and retained as does not exceed the gross-up amount.

5.12	The Exit Bonus Relief or the VAT Relief (as such terms are defined in schedule 6) shall not be set-off against any Taxation which is the subject of a gross-up payment. For the avoidance of doubt, any set-off contrary to this clause shall be disregarded when calculating the gross-up amount.


6	Tax

	The provisions of schedule 6 shall apply.

7.4	The Principal Shareholders and the Vendor Shareholders and each of them agree and acknowledge that the restrictions contained in this clause 7 are fair and reasonable and necessary to assure to the Buyer the full value of the Shares.

7.5	Each of the restrictions in each paragraph or sub-clause or clause above shall be enforceable independently of each of the others and its validity shall not be affected if any of the others is invalid.

7.6	If any of those restrictions is void, but would be valid if some part of the restrictions were deleted, the restriction in question shall apply with such modification as may be necessary to make it valid.

8	Confidential Information

8.1	Each of the Sellers (other than Barclays) undertakes with the Buyer (for itself and for the benefit of any Group Company) that it will not use or disclose to any person any Confidential Information which it has at the date of this agreement.

	9.1.4	execute all instruments of proxy or other documents which the Buyer may reasonably require to enable the Buyer to attend and vote at any such meeting.

9.2	For the purpose of giving effect to clause 9.1 each of the Sellers hereby severally appoints the Buyer (acting by any of its directors from time to time) to be its attorney in its name and on its behalf to exercise all or any of the rights in relation to the Shares

	"Retained Amount"
	in the case of any Relevant Claim, either (as the case may be):
	(i)	in the event that either the Sellers Notice states that the Sellers’ Representatives agree with the Relevant Claim and the Buyer’s Estimate, or the Sellers’ Notice is not served in accordance with clause 11.6, the Buyer’s Estimate;
	(ii)	in the event that parties agree the amount to be retained in accordance with clause 11.7, the Agreed Estimate; or
	(iii)	in the event that an Expert opines on the Relevant Claim in accordance with clause 11.9, the Settled Estimate,
	in each case together with an amount equal to the Buyer's good faith estimate of the reasonable third party costs and expenses (including legal costs and expenses) which might reasonably be expected to be incurred by the Buyer in connection with Relevant Claim

	"Payment Date"
	the First Payment Date or the Second Payment Date (as the case may be);

	"Payment Period"
	the period between each such Payment Date or between Completion and the First Payment Date;

	"Relevant Claim"
	a Claim, an Indemnity Claim, a Tax Claim, a Balance Sheet Claim and a claim under clause 12, or a potential claim in accordance with paragraph 3.2.5, contingent claim, of Schedule 5;

	"Undetermined Claim"
	a Relevant Claim which is not at the relevant Payment Date a Determined Claim;

11.2	The Escrow Amount is to be retained in the Escrow Account following Completion and amounts shall only be released from the Escrow Account in accordance with the provisions of this clause 11 and the Escrow Agreement and amounts therein shall be available to be used to satisfy Determined Claims.

11.3	Subject to the provisions of clause 11.4, £1,500,000 of the Escrow Amount shall be paid to the Sellers’ Solicitors (whose receipt shall be a good discharge therefor) by way of same day transfer of funds to the Sellers' Account for the account of the Sellers on the First Payment Date and the remainder of the Escrow Amount shall be paid to the Sellers’ Solicitors (whose receipt shall be a good discharge therefor) by way of same day transfer of funds to the Sellers' Account for the account of the Sellers on the Second Payment Date.

11.4	If, at any time prior to a Payment Date, written notice of a Relevant Claim has been given to the Sellers' Representatives of a Relevant Claim in accordance with clause 11.5, there shall be deducted from the amount due to be paid to the Sellers Account in accordance with clause 11.3 above on such Payment Date an amount equal to the Retained Amount of all such Relevant Claims or, if, in respect of any Relevant Claim or Relevant Claims, the Retained Amount in respect of the Relevant Claim or Relevant Claims in question has not at that time been determined in accordance with the provisions of this clause 11, an amount equal to the Buyer's Estimate (as defined in


	clause 11.5) in respect of the Relevant Claim or Relevant Claims in question together with an amount equal to the Buyer's good faith estimate of the reasonable third party costs and expenses (including legal costs and expenses) which might reasonably be expected to be incurred by the Buyer in connection with Relevant Claim or Relevant Claims in question and the amount payable to the Sellers' Account on that Payment Date in accordance with clause 11.3 above shall be reduced accordingly, provided always where the Buyer's Estimate of the Relevant Claim or Relevant Claims in question has not been agreed or determined in accordance with this clause 11, following such agreement or determination there shall be paid to the Seller's Account any excess by which the amount as agreed or determined in respect of the Relevant Claim or Relevant Claims in question is less than the Buyer's Estimate thereof. In the event that any monies shall be deducted from a payment due to be made to the Sellers' Account in accordance with clause 11.3 above on a Payment Date, such monies shall be retained in the Escrow Account until the Relevant Claim or Relevant Claims in question becomes or become a Determined Claim or Determined Claims.

11.5	If the Buyer wishes to retain money in the Escrow Account in respect of any Undetermined Claim(s), it shall deliver to the Sellers' Representatives no later than 1 Business Day prior to the Payment Date a certificate signed by a duly authorised officer of the Buyer stating in such terms as the Buyer considers reasonably appropriate the circumstances giving rise to the Relevant Claim in question and providing the Buyer's estimate of the maximum amount that may reasonably be claimed in respect thereof (the "Buyer's Estimate") (the "Buyer's Certificate").

11.6	Within 2 months of receipt of the Buyer’s Certificate, the Sellers’ Representatives shall serve written notice (the "Sellers' Notice") on the Buyer accepting or rejecting the Relevant Claim set out in the Claim Notice and/or accepting or rejecting the amount of the Buyer's Estimate. Insofar as the Sellers' Representatives reject the amount of the Buyer's Estimate, the Sellers' Notice shall include an estimate of the maximum amount that may reasonably be claimed in respect of the Relevant Claim in question (the "Sellers' Estimate") and the basis for the Sellers' Estimate. Failure to serve a Sellers’ Notice within such 2 month period shall be deemed to mean that the Sellers' Representatives have accepted the amount of the Buyer's Estimate solely for the purpose of this clause 11.6, and without prejudice to the right to resist any and all claims in respect of the Relevant Claim or Relevant Claims in question.

11.7	Following receipt of a Sellers' Notice rejecting the Relevant Claim and/or the quantum thereof the Buyer jointly with the Sellers' Representatives shall attempt in good faith to resolve the difference of opinion between the parties, including as to any difference between the amount of the Sellers' Estimate and the amount of the Buyer's Estimate. Any successful resolution of such difference shall be evidenced in writing signed by a representative of the Buyer and by the Sellers' Representatives, (the amount being the "Agreed Estimate").

11.8	If the Buyer and the Sellers' Representatives fail to resolve their difference of opinion within 15 Business Days after the Sellers' Notice is delivered the difference in opinion between the Buyer and the Sellers' Representatives ("Claim Dispute") shall be submitted for determination to a Queen's Counsel appointed jointly by the Buyer and the Sellers' Representative, or if no agreement as to such appointment is reached within 5 Business Days, to a Queen's Counsel of at least ten years' standing and well versed in the law relating to the dispute in question appointed by the Chairman of the Bar Association (on the application of the Buyer or of the Sellers' Representatives) (the "Expert").

11.9	The jurisdiction of the Expert shall be limited to resolving the Claim Dispute and the scope of the review shall be limited to reviewing the Buyer's Certificate and the Sellers' Notice and the supporting documentation and evidence referred to in the next following sentence. Both the Buyer and the Sellers' Representatives shall have the right to submit supporting documentation or evidence in writing to support the amount of the


	Buyer's Estimate or the Sellers' Estimate (as the case may be) but neither the Buyer nor the Sellers' Representatives shall have the right to change the amount of the Buyer's Estimate or the Sellers' Estimate (as the case may be) such amounts being deemed conclusively as the Buyer's and the Sellers' estimate of the maximum amount that may reasonably be claimed in respect of the Relevant Claim in question. The Claim Dispute shall be decided by the Expert within 10 Business Days from appointment of the Expert. The Expert shall be directed to determine the amount that the Expert, based on his experience and the information submitted by the parties, believes represents the maximum amount that may reasonably be claimed in respect of the Relevant Claim in question (the amount so selected by the Expert being referred to herein as the "Settled Estimate"). The Expert shall inform the parties in writing of the Settled Estimate immediately after making his decision. The costs of the Expert shall follow the cause, but shall initially be paid by the party whose estimate of the maximum amount that may reasonably be claimed in respect of the Relevant Claim in question is furthest from the Settled Estimate.

11.10	On any Relevant Claim having become a Determined Claim the Sellers' Representatives and the Buyer shall instruct the Sellers’ Solicitors and the Buyer’s Solicitors to pay out of the Escrow Account:

	11.10.1	to the Buyer and/or the relevant member of the Buyer Group (as the case may be) an amount equal to the amount payable in accordance with the settlement or determination of the Determined Claim and the Buyer shall not be concerned as to the application of such proceeds (insofar as there shall be sufficient monies standing to the credit of the Escrow Account); and

	11.10.2	to the Sellers' Solicitors (whose receipt shall be a good discharge therefor), for the account of the Sellers, the balance (if any) of the amount that would otherwise have been due to them on the immediately preceding Payment Date, but for the Relevant Claim in question.

11.11	Save as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, no payment shall be made out of the Escrow Account except in accordance with the bank mandate in relation to the Escrow Account which shall require the signature of each of the Sellers' Representatives and the Buyer.

11.12	All interest earned on principal in the Escrow Account (less any Tax withheld, if appropriate) shall follow that part of the principal on which it is earned.

11.13	In the event of a referral of a Claim Dispute to the Expert in the manner set out in clause 11.8 above, the Buyer's obligation to institute proceedings against the Sellers in the manner contemplated in paragraph 2.2 of Schedule 5 within 6 months of service of the notice referred to in that paragraph shall only commence from the date upon which the Expert's written notification of the Settled Estimate is delivered to the Buyer and the Sellers' Representatives in accordance with clause 11.9 above.

11.14	The Sellers agree to contribute to the Escrow Amount in the amounts agreed between the Sellers, such payment to be satisfied in accordance with clause 3.2. The Sellers shall be entitled to receive any payments to be made to the Sellers from the Escrow Account pursuant to this clause 11 in the proportions agreed between the Sellers. The Buyer shall not be concerned with the application of any amounts released from the Escrow Account for the benefit of the Sellers.

12	Locked Box Undertaking

12.1	The Sellers undertake to the Buyer that since the Balance Sheet Date, except for any Permitted Payments:

	12.1.3	no Group Company has waived any amount owed to it by any of the Sellers or any of their respective connected persons (other than an investee company of the AAM Funds, such amounts having been waived in the ordinary and normal course of business);

	12.1.4	no Group Company has made or provided or agreed to make or provide any gift (including any transfer of an asset for a consideration less than the fair market value of the relevant asset), guarantee, security, indemnity, loan or other like arrangement or any repayment of indebtedness or interest on such indebtedness to or on behalf of or for the benefit of any Seller or any of their respective connected persons;

	12.1.5	no gratuitous or discretionary payment (including but not limited to any sale bonuses in connection with the sale of the Shares but excluding the Bonus) has been made or agreed to be made by any Group Company to any Seller or to any of their respective connected persons; and

	12.1.6	no Group Company has paid or agreed to pay any of the fees or expenses of any adviser or consultant engaged by any of the Sellers in connection with the Transaction including, without limitation, the Sellers' Solicitors and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Quarterdeck.

12.2	The Sellers severally agree to indemnify the Buyer and keep it indemnified from and against all liabilities, claims, losses, damages, external costs, or reasonably and properly incurred external fees suffered or incurred by the Buyer or any Group Company as a result of:

	12.2.1	a breach by any Seller of clause 12.1;

	12.2.2	the Company not receiving the sum of £16,954 as shown in the line item entitled "Share Issue Proceeds" of the Balance Sheet,

	for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that the amounts standing to the credit of the Escrow Account at the relevant time are insufficient to satisfy any claim brought under clause 12, each Seller shall only be liable to indemnify the Buyer in respect of amounts received by, or to the extent of the benefit derived by, itself, himself or its/his connected persons.

13	Specific Indemnities

13.1	The Principal Shareholders shall indemnify the Buyer (acting for itself and as agent or trustee for any Group Company) against all costs, losses, liabilities, penalties, fines, claims or expenses (including legal and other professional fees and expenses) suffered or incurred by the Buyer or any Group Company directly arising from, out of or in connection with the following matters:

The Buyer and the Sellers shall not be required to obtain the consent of the Company or any other third party on whom a benefit is conferred under this agreement to the termination or variation of this agreement or to the waiver or settlement of any right or claim arising under it.

20.3	The failure or delay in exercising a right or remedy provided by this agreement or by law does not constitute a waiver of that (or any other) right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of a right or remedy provided by this agreement or by law prevents the further exercise of that (or any other) right or remedy.

20.4	Except to the extent that they have been performed or where this agreement provides otherwise, the obligations contained in this agreement remain in force after Completion.

20.5	Any liability to the Buyer under this agreement may be released, compounded or compromised (in whole or in part) and any time or indulgence may be given by the Buyer in its absolute discretion as regards any of the Sellers without in any way prejudicing or affecting the Buyer's rights against any of the other Sellers in respect of that (or any other) liability, whether joint or several or otherwise.

20.6	Each provision of this agreement is severable and distinct from the others. If any provision is or at any time becomes to any extent or in any circumstances invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, it shall to that extent or in those circumstances be deemed not to form part of this agreement but (except to that extent or in those circumstances in the case of that provision) the validity, legality and enforceability of that and all other provisions of this agreement shall not be affected or impaired and shall remain valid and enforceable.

20.7	If any provision of this agreement is found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in accordance with clause 20.7 but would be legal, valid or enforceable if some part of the provision were deleted, the provision in question shall apply with such modification(s) as may be necessary to make it legal, valid or enforceable.

20.8	This agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which when executed and delivered is an original but all the counterparts together shall constitute the same document.

21	Further Assurance

	Without prejudice to any other provision of this agreement, the Sellers shall, on being required to do so by the Buyer, do or procure the doing of all such acts and/or execute or procure the execution of such documents as the Buyer may from time to time reasonably require in order to vest any of the Shares in the Buyer (or its nominee) or

	(at the cost of the Buyer, to the extent that such costs are reasonably and properly incurred) to give effect to the provisions of this agreement.

22	Governing law and jurisdiction

22.1	This agreement is governed by English law.

22.2	The courts of England have non-exclusive jurisdiction to hear and decide any suit, action or proceedings, and to settle any disputes, which may arise out of or in connection with this agreement and, for these purposes, each party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of England.

22.3	Each party irrevocably waives any objection which it might at any time have to the courts of England being nominated as the forum to decide any suit, action or proceedings, and to settle any disputes, which may arise out of or in connection with this agreement and agrees not to claim that the courts of England are not a convenient or appropriate forum.

IN WITNESS whereof the parties have executed this agreement as a deed and it is hereby delivered on the day and year first before written.

1	Financial limits

1.1	All Claims (other than Claims under the Title and Capacity Warranties), all claims under the Tax Covenant and all Indemnity Claims shall be satisfied solely and exclusively by way of the transfer to the Buyer of relevant amounts out of the Escrow Account in accordance with clause 11. Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement the aggregate liability of the Sellers in respect of all Claims (other than Claims under the Title and Capacity Warranties), all claims under the Tax Covenant and all Indemnity Claims shall not exceed the amount standing to the credit of the Escrow Account from time to time.

1.2	The maximum liability of each of the Sellers in respect of Claims under the Title and Capacity Warranties shall be limited to the pro rata share of the Consideration to which such Seller is entitled in respect of the Shares sold by it pursuant to this agreement as agreed between the Sellers and the Buyer on the date of this agreement.

1.3	Subject to paragraph 1.6, the Sellers shall not be liable in respect of a Claim, (other than a Claim under the Title and Capacity Warranties), unless the amount claimed in respect of that individual Claim exceeds £20,000 (each a "qualifying claim"), provided that Claims arising directly or indirectly from the same or substantially similar or related facts, events or circumstances shall be treated as one individual Claim rather than a series of individual Claims.

1.4	Subject to Paragraph 1.6, the Sellers shall not be liable in respect of a Claim, other than a Claim under the Title and Capacity Warranties, unless the aggregate amount of all qualifying claims (plus all Indemnity Claims and all claims under the Tax Covenant) exceeds £500,000, in which event the Sellers shall be liable for the full amount of all qualifying claims and not merely the excess.

1.5	The Sellers shall not be liable in respect of a claim under the Tax Covenant unless the aggregate amount of all such claims exceeds £100,000 in which event the Sellers shall be liable for the full amount of all claims under the Tax Covenant and not merely the excess.

1.6	The following provisions shall apply to a Claim in respect of the Warranty set forth in paragraph 2.3 of schedule 4 (Balance Sheet) ("Balance Sheet Claim")

	1.6.1	the Sellers shall not be liable for a Balance Sheet Claim unless the amount claimed in respect of that individual claim exceeds £10,000 provided that Balance Sheet Claims arising directly or indirectly from the same or substantially similar or related facts, events or circumstances shall be treated as one individual Balance Sheet Claim rather than a series of individual Balance Sheet Claims;

	1.6.2	the Sellers shall not be liable in respect of a Balance Sheet Claim unless the aggregate amount of all Balance Sheet Claims exceeds £100,000 in which event the Sellers shall be liable for the full amount of all claims qualifying under paragraph 1.6.1 and not merely the excess.

1.7	In assessing any damages or compensation payable by the Sellers the value of the Shares will not be taken as exceeding the Consideration.


2	Time limits

2.1	The Sellers shall not be liable for a Claim (other than a Claim under the Title and Capacity Warranties) or an Indemnity Claim or a claim under the Tax Covenant, unless the Buyer gives the Sellers' Representative notice of such Claim, Indemnity Claim or claim under the Tax Covenant ("Claim Notice") (stating in reasonable detail the matter which gives rise to the Claim, the nature of the Claim, Indemnity Claim or claim under the Tax Covenant and the amount claimed, to the extent that such details are reasonably available to the Buyer at the relevant time) on or before the second anniversary of Completion.

2.2	Subject to the provisions of schedule 6, a Claim, an Indemnity Claim or a Tax Claim notified in accordance with paragraph 2.1, which is not previously satisfied, settled or withdrawn, shall be deemed to have been withdrawn and waived in full by the Buyer unless proceedings in respect of that claim have been both issued and served on the Sellers' Representatives within the period of 6 months starting on the day such claim was notified to the Sellers' Representatives provided that, where a Claim, Indemnity Claim or Tax Claim is made in respect of a matter where the loss or liability to the Buyer or to a Group Company is uncertain, or such claim is unascertainable or unquantifiable or otherwise contingent on another event, such legal action need not be brought until 6 months after the first of the loss or liability becoming ascertained or ascertainable or quantifiable or ceasing to be contingent.

2.3	The purpose of paragraph 2.1 is to provide for notification to the Sellers' Representatives of the possibility of a Claim or Claims or Indemnity Claim or Indemnity Claims or Tax Claim or Tax Claims being made. It is not intended to permit the Sellers to rely on technical defences to such Claims or Tax Claims on the grounds of insufficiency of notice. Accordingly no defect in the form of the notice will invalidate the notice or permit any of the Sellers to allege that the Buyer has not complied with paragraph 2.1 of this schedule unless the Sellers can satisfy the court that the Sellers could not reasonably have been expected to understand the general nature of the allegation made, and in doing so no regard shall be had to material which was not reasonably and readily available to the Buyer at the time of the notice, provided always that the provisions of this paragraph 2.3 shall not apply where the Buyer has failed to remedy such defect or insufficiency within 10 Business Days of being requested in writing to do so by either of the Sellers' Representatives.

3	General limits

3.1	The Sellers shall not be liable in respect of a Claim and accordingly no Claim may be brought to the extent that the matter, fact or circumstance giving rise to the Claim:

	3.1.1	is fairly disclosed in the Disclosure Letter or the Disclosure Documents;

	3.1.2	would not have arisen or occurred but for an act, omission or transaction done, made or carried out by the Sellers or the Company, or any of their directors, employees or agents prior to Completion at the written request of or with the written consent of the Buyer;

	3.1.3	arises as a direct result of the identity of the Buyer.

3.2	The Sellers shall not be liable in respect of a Claim or an Indemnity Claim and accordingly no Claim or Indemnity Claim may be brought:

3.2.1	to the extent that the matter, fact or circumstance giving rise to the Claim or Indemnity Claim;

		(a)	would not have arisen or occurred but for the passing of, or a change in, an applicable law, rule, regulation, published interpretation


			of the law or administrative practice of a government, governmental department, agency or regulatory body, or a judgment passed, after the Completion Date; or

		(b)	is specifically allowed for, provided against or reserved for in the Balance Sheet.

3.2.2	where the loss or liability resulting from the Claim has been or is made good or otherwise compensated for at no expense to the Buyer or the Company;

3.2.3	which results from a change in the accounting or taxation policies or practices of the Company introduced or having effect after Completion, save to the extent that the same are introduced to bring the accounting or taxation policies or practices of the Company into line with UKGAAP in relation to a business of the type carried on by the Buyer and/or the Company;

3.2.4	which would not have arisen or occurred but for a cessation of trading or change in the nature or conduct of the Company’s business after Completion;

3.2.5	which is contingent or unquantifiable unless and until either such contingent liability becomes an actual liability or such unquantifiable liability becomes quantifiable and, in either case, such liability is due and payable, provided that, if the Buyer notifies the Sellers Representatives of the relevant matter, fact or circumstance in accordance with clause 11.5, the relevant matter, fact or circumstance shall constitute a Relevant Claim and shall be treated in accordance with clause 11.

4	Conduct of Claims

4.1	If a Claim (other than a Claim relating to a Tax Warranty which shall not be governed by this paragraph 4) or an Indemnity Claim arises as a result of, or in connection with, a liability or alleged liability to a third party (a "Third Party Claim"), then:

	4.1.1	the Buyer shall as soon as reasonably practicable give notice to the Managers' Representative of the matter;

	4.1.2	the Buyer shall procure the relevant Group Company make available to the Managers' Representative such persons that are then employed by that Group Company and such information as the Managers' Representative may reasonably require for assessing, contesting, appealing or compromising the Third Party Claim;

	4.1.3	subject to the provision of confidentiality undertakings in a form acceptable to the Buyer, acting reasonably, the Managers' Representative may take copies of the documents or records referred to in paragraph 4.1.2;

	4.1.4	the Buyer shall procure the relevant Group Company shall consult with the Managers' Representative in good faith in relation to the conduct of any appeal, dispute, compromise or defence of the Third Party Claim; and

	4.1.5	the Buyer shall, and shall procure that the relevant Group Company shall keep the Managers' Representative informed of the progress of the Third Party Claim.

5	Recovery from third party

	Where the Buyer is entitled to recover from any person any sum in respect of any matter or event which gives rise to a Claim (other than a Claim relating to a Tax Warranty which shall not be governed by this paragraph 5) or an Indemnity Claim, the Buyer shall or shall procure that a Group Company shall, subject to it being secured and


	indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Sellers and to it being satisfied, acting reasonably, that such action will not be prejudicial to its interests or the interests of any Group Company, use its reasonable endeavours to recover that sum and shall keep the Managers' Representative informed of the conduct of such recovery. The Buyer shall not be restricted from pursuing that or any other Claim or Indemnity Claim in relation to the same subject matter against the Sellers. Any sum recovered by the Buyer before settlement or final determination of the Claim or Indemnity Claim (less any costs and expenses incurred by the Buyer, the Company or any other Group Company in recovering the sum and any Tax attributable to or suffered in respect of the sum recovered) will reduce the amount of the Claim or Indemnity Claim by an equivalent amount. If recovery is delayed until after the Claim or Indemnity Claim has been satisfied by the Sellers in accordance with the provisions of clause 11, the Buyer shall (subject to the remaining provisions of this clause) repay to the Escrow Account the amount so recovered (less any costs and expenses incurred by the Buyer, the Company or any other Group Company in recovering the sum and any Tax attributable to or suffered in respect of the sum recovered), where it shall be held in accordance with the provisions of clause 11. If the amount so recovered exceeds the amount of the Claim or Indemnity Claim satisfied by the Sellers, the Buyer shall be entitled to retain the excess.

6	Sums Recovered

6.1	If the Sellers pay to the Buyer an amount in respect of a Claim (other than a Claim under the Tax Warranties) or Indemnity Claim and the Buyer or the Company subsequently recovers from another person an amount which is referable to the matter giving rise to that Claim or Indemnity Claim, the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers an amount equal to whichever is the lower of the Sum Recovered (as defined below) and the amount previously paid by the Principal Shareholders to the Buyer.

6.2	For the purposes of paragraph 6.2, the "Sum Recovered" means an amount equal to the total of the amount recovered from the other person plus any interest in respect of such amount (less any costs and expenses incurred by the Buyer, the Company or any other Group Company in recovering the sum and any Tax attributable to or suffered in respect of the sum recovered).

3.1	any Liability to Taxation of the Company which has arisen by reason of or in respect of any Event occurring after 15 April 2004 and on or before Completion, whether or not in any such case any Taxation in question is chargeable against or attributable wholly or partly to or recoverable wholly or partly from any other person, and including (without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) any Liability to Taxation which arises in connection with or in respect of or by reference to any income, profits or gains earned, accrued or received after 15 April 2004 and on or before Completion or in respect of a period ended on or before Completion;

3.2	any Liability to Taxation which is primarily the liability of another person (the Primary Person) for which a Company is liable in consequence of:

		(a)	being a member of the same group of companies as the Primary Person; or

		(b)	having control of, being controlled by (construing "control" in accordance with Section 416 Taxes Act, but subject to the modifications in Section 767B Taxes Act), or being otherwise connected with, the Primary Person or being controlled by the same person as the Primary Person for any Tax purpose;

3.3	any and all costs incurred by a Company after Completion in respect of inheritance tax which:


	3.3.1	is at Completion a charge on any of the shares in or assets of any Company or has after 15 April 2004 but prior to Completion given rise to a power to sell, mortgage or charge any of the shares in or assets of any Company;

7	Claims Procedure

7.1	Upon the Buyer becoming aware of any Claim, the Buyer shall as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within 10 Business Days of the date thereof, give notice of such Claim to the Managers’ Representative and upon the Buyer becoming aware of any event, fact or circumstance which may give rise to such a Claim, the Buyer shall as soon as is reasonably practicable give notice thereof and of the possible Claim to the Managers’ Representative, provided that the giving of notice under this paragraph 7.1 shall not be a condition precedent to the liability of the Principal Shareholders under


	this schedule. If the Principal Shareholders become aware of any Claim, they shall procure that as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within 10 Business Days of the date thereof, the Manager’s Representative gives notice of such Claim to the Buyer. If the Principal Shareholders become aware of any Claim, then such awareness will constitute notice of such Claim by the Buyer to the Managers’ Representative.

7.2	Subject to paragraphs 7.3 to 7.7 (inclusive), the Buyer shall procure that the Company (at the Principal Shareholders' expense and provided that the Principal Shareholders shall first indemnify the Company and the Buyer to the reasonable satisfaction of the Buyer (for the avoidance of doubt such indemnity being without recourse to the Escrow Account) against all costs (excluding internal management costs) and expenses, including any additional Taxation, which may be incurred thereby) takes such action and gives such information and assistance in connection with the dispute of the Claim as the Managers’ Representative may reasonably and promptly request in writing to avoid, resist, appeal against or compromise any Claim relevant for the purposes of this schedule, including but not limited to applying to postpone (so far as legally possible) the payment of any Taxation provided that the Managers’ Representative shall be entitled to require the Company or the Buyer to delegate the conduct of such action to the Managers’ Representative or any agent or professional adviser. Neither the Buyer nor any Company shall be obliged to undertake any action or make any approval which it reasonably considers would be materially prejudicial to the Company’s or the Buyer’s relations with a Tax Authority or materially increase its future liability to Tax. Where the Managers’ Representative requests any action be taken pursuant to this paragraph 7.2, paragraph 2.2 (Time Limits) of schedule 5 shall apply to the relevant Tax Claim with the reference to 6 months being replaced with a reference to 12 months.

7.3	The Buyer shall keep the Managers’ Representative properly informed of all matters pertaining to any dispute, appeal, negotiations or other proceedings conducted by or at the request of the Managers’ Representative pursuant to paragraph 7.2 and shall provide the Managers’ Representative with copies of all correspondence pertaining thereto and shall take action in respect of such dispute, appeal, negotiation or other proceedings without unreasonable delay. The Buyer shall submit to the Managers’ Representative for prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) any communication (written or otherwise) related to such dispute, appeal, negotiations or other proceedings (including for the avoidance of doubt any proposal for or agreement to settlement) which is to be transmitted to the relevant Tax Authority. Where the Company or the Buyer is required to delegate conduct of any action the provisions of this paragraph 7.3 shall apply replacing references to the “Buyer” with references to the “Managers’ Representative” (and vice versa) and making any other necessary modifications.

7.4	Neither the Buyer nor the Managers’ Representative (nor any Principal Shareholder) shall at any time admit liability or otherwise settle or compromise or attempt to settle or compromise the Claim or action except upon the express written consent of the other (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the Buyer shall give to the Managers’ Representative such assistance as it shall reasonably require in respect of the conduct of the said dispute, compromise and/or appeal.

7.5	The Buyer shall not be obliged to (and the Managers’ Representative shall not) take or to procure the contest of any Claim before any court or other appellate body pursuant to paragraph 7.2 unless at the Principal Shareholders’ cost and expense the Managers’ Representative obtains the written opinion of tax counsel, being a member of the Revenue Bar Association, of not less than ten years' call, after disclosure of all relevant information and documents and having regard to all the circumstances such contest has a reasonable prospect of success.

7.6	Where the Claim is subject to a time limit for appeal that expires within 15 Business Days of the Managers’ Representative having been given written notice of


	the receipt of Claim in accordance with paragraph 7.1 above, the Buyer shall be obliged to procure that the relevant Company applies to extend the time limit relating to such Claim unless (the Managers’ Representative having been given written notice of the receipt of that Claim in accordance with paragraph 7.1 above), the Buyer or the Company have not within 15 Business Days thereafter received instructions in writing from the Managers’ Representative and an indemnity for costs and expenses in accordance with paragraph 7.2, or the Buyer or the Company has received instructions not to make an appeal or apply for an extension, in which cases the Buyer and the relevant Company shall be free to settle or pay the Claim on such terms as they shall see fit, acting in good faith. If the Buyer so procures that the relevant Company applies for such an extension and the Buyer or the Company have not received such instructions in writing or such indemnity within the 15 Business Day period, or the Buyer or the company has received instructions not to make an appeal or apply for an extension, the Buyer and the Company shall be free to settle or pay the Claim on such terms as they shall see fit, acting in good faith.

7.7	Where the Claim has arisen out of any fraudulent or dishonest act or omission by a Seller or the Company on or prior to Completion or where the conduct of the dispute has been delegated to the Managers’ Representative and the Managers’ Representative is in breach of its obligations under paragraph 7, the Buyer and the Company shall be free to settle or pay the Claim on such terms as they shall see fit, acting in good faith.

8	Recovery from Third Parties

8.1	If on or before the Second Payment Date, the Company or the Buyer recovers or becomes aware that it is entitled to recover from any third party (including any Taxation Authority but excluding the Company and any employee or customer thereof and excluding any member of the Buyer’s Group) any amount which is referable to a Liability to Taxation in respect of which the Principal Shareholders have made payment under paragraph 3.1, the Buyer shall as soon as reasonably practicable give notice of that fact to the Managers’ Representative and shall take or procure that the Company takes (at the Principal Shareholders' cost (excluding internal management costs) and expense and provided that the Principal Shareholders indemnify the Buyer and the Company to the reasonable satisfaction of the Buyer against all costs and expenses which may be incurred thereby (for the avoidance of doubt such indemnity being without recourse to the Escrow Account)) any action necessary to effect such recovery which the Managers’ Representative may reasonably request in writing, and the Buyer shall within 5 Business Days of recovering such sum repay to the Escrow Account (where such repayment shall be held in accordance with the provisions of clause 11), or, if recovery is made after the Second Payment Date, to the Managers’ Representative for the account of the Principal Shareholders, the lesser of:

	8.1.1	the amount so recovered; and

	8.1.2	the amount paid by the Principal Shareholders under paragraph 3.1 in respect of the Liability to Taxation in question less any part of such amount previously repaid to the Escrow Account or to the Managers’ Representative for the account of the Principal Shareholders under any provision of this schedule or elsewhere under this agreement or otherwise howsoever,

	and less an amount equal to any Taxation which arises in consequence of such recovery and less any costs and expenses (which have not already been satisfied under this paragraph 8.1) suffered or incurred by the Buyer or the Company in recovering such amount.


8.2	The provisions of paragraph 8.1 shall not apply where and to the extent that the recovery in question relates to the Exit Bonus Relief or the VAT Relief.


9	Reliefs

9.1	If a Liability to Taxation under paragraph 3, which has resulted in a payment by the Principal Shareholders under Part 3 of this schedule, has given rise to a Relief (other than a Principal Shareholders’ Relief that is the subject of paragraph 6.4.4 (limitations) or paragraph 10.2) for the Company which would not otherwise have arisen, and either:

	9.1.1	the Managers’ Representative notifies the Buyer by the Second Payment Date that such Relief will arise as a result of such Liability to Taxation that the Company can use to reduce or eliminate an Actual Liability to Taxation in respect of which the Principal Shareholders would not have been liable under the covenant under paragraph 3 (ignoring for this purpose the application of paragraph 1.5 (Threshold) of schedule 5); or

	9.1.2	the relevant Company has by the Second Payment Date utilised such Relief to reduce or eliminate an Actual Liability to Taxation in respect of which the Principal Shareholders would not have been liable under the covenant under paragraph 3 (ignoring for this purpose the application of paragraph 1.5 (Threshold) of schedule 5)

	then the Buyer shall repay to the Escrow Account (where such repayment shall be held in accordance with the provisions of clause 11), or, where the due date for payment falls after the Second Payment Date, to the Managers’ Representative for the account of the Principal Shareholders, an amount equal to the lesser of:

	9.1.3	the Actual Liability to Taxation which has been eliminated; or

	9.1.4	the amount by which such Actual Liability to Taxation is reduced.

9.2	Payment shall be due by the Buyer under this paragraph 9 on the date on which the payment of the Actual Liability to Taxation is or would have been due or, where appropriate, the date on which the Company receives a repayment in respect of the Relief. The amount which the Buyer is liable to pay hereunder shall not in any case exceed the amount paid by the Principal Shareholders under this schedule in respect of the Liability to Taxation which has given rise to the Relief in question.

10	Over-provision, savings, etc

10.1	If it becomes apparent by the Second Payment Date that any provision for Tax in the Locked Box Schedule has proved to be an over-provision, or any right to a repayment of Taxation treated as an asset in the Locked Box Schedule has proved to have been understated, then the amount of such over-provision or under-statement shall be dealt with in accordance with paragraph 10.3, save to the extent that such over-provision or understatement is due to:

	10.1.1	a reduction in the rates of Tax or any other change in legislation made after the Balance Sheet Date with retrospective effect; or

	10.1.2	any Post Balance Sheet Date Relief, Exit Bonus Relief or VAT Relief;

	10.1.3	any act of the Buyer or a Company carried out after the Balance Sheet Date; or

	10.1.4	the availability of a Relief that is the subject of paragraph 9 (Reliefs) or the availability of a Principal Shareholders’ Relief that is the subject of paragraph 6.4.4 (Limitations) or paragraph 10.2.

10.2	If it becomes apparent that an Actual Liability to Taxation of any member of the Buyer's Group to pay Tax in respect of which the Principal Shareholders would not have been


	liable under the covenant in paragraphs 3 or for breach of Tax Warranty (ignoring for this purpose the application of paragraph 1.5 (Threshold) of schedule 5) has by the Second Payment Date been reduced by the use of a Principal Shareholders’ Relief (other than a Principal Shareholders’ Relief that is the subject of paragraph 6.4.4 (Limitations) or paragraph 9), the amount by which such Actual Liability to Taxation is so reduced shall be dealt with in accordance with paragraph 10.3.

10.3	Where it is provided under paragraphs 10.1 or 10.2 that any amount (the "Relevant Amount") is to be dealt with in accordance with this sub-paragraph:

	10.3.1	the Relevant Amount shall first be set off against any payment then due from the Principal Shareholders under the covenants in paragraph 3 or for breach of Tax Warranty; and

	10.3.2	to the extent there is an excess, a refund shall be made to the Escrow Account (where such refund shall be held in accordance with the provisions of clause 11) or, where the refund falls to be made after the Second Payment Date, to the Managers’ Representative for the account of the Principal Shareholders, of any previous payment or payments made by the Principal Shareholders under the covenants in paragraph 3 or for breach of Tax Warranty and not previously refunded under this paragraph up to the amount of such excess within 5 Business Days of the Relevant Amount arising; and

	10.3.3	to the extent that the excess referred to in paragraph 10.3.2 is not exhausted under that paragraph, the remainder of that excess shall be carried forward and set off against any future payment or payments which become due from the Principal Shareholders under the covenant in paragraph 3 or for breach of Tax Warranty.

10.4	The Buyer will inform the Managers’ Representative as soon as reasonably practicable after it or the Company becomes aware that there may be a Relevant Amount.

10.5	If the parties cannot agree as to the existence and/or the quantum of the Relevant Amount, such disagreement may be referred by either party to the Auditors for determination and, in making such determination, the Auditors will act as experts and not as arbitrators and their determination will (in the absence of manifest error) be conclusive and binding on the parties. The costs of the Auditors shall be borne as the Auditors shall determine having regard to the relative merits of the parties in respect of the disagreement and such determination as to costs will be conclusive and binding on the parties.

10.6	Where any such determination as is mentioned in paragraph 10.5 has been made, the Managers’ Representative or the Buyer or the Company may request the Auditors for the time being of the Company to review such determination in the light of all relevant circumstances, including any facts which have become known only since such determination, and to certify whether such determination remains correct or whether, in the light of those circumstances, the amount that was the subject of such determination should be amended.

10.7	If the Auditors determine under paragraph 10.6 that an amount previously determined should be amended, that amended amount shall be substituted for the purposes of paragraph 10.6 as the Relevant Amount in respect of the determination in question in place of the amount originally certified, and such adjusting payment (if any) as may be required by virtue of the above-mentioned substitution shall be made as soon as practicable by the Managers’ Representative (for and on behalf of the Principal Shareholders) or (as the case may be) to the Managers’ Representative for the account of the Principal Shareholders. Where such adjusting payment is made to the Principal Shareholders before the Second Payment Date, it shall instead be paid into the Escrow Account.

11.6	The Buyer shall be under no obligation to procure the authorisation, signing or submission to a Tax Authority of any Taxation document which it considers in its reasonable opinion to be false, misleading, incomplete or inaccurate in any material respect

13	Buyer's Covenant

13.1	The Buyer shall pay to the Managers’ Representative for the account of the Principal Shareholders an amount equal to the amount of any Taxation for which the Principal Shareholders become liable by virtue of the failure of the Buyer, the Company or any company controlled by the Buyer or a person or persons controlling the Buyer (construing "control" in accordance with Section 416 Taxes Act, but subject to the modifications in Section 767B Taxes Act) to discharge the liability to such Taxation together with any reasonable costs and expenses reasonably and properly incurred by the Managers’ Representative in connection with taking any successful action under this paragraph, except to the extent such Taxation:


	13.1.1	is subject to a claim under the Agreement or this Schedule by the Buyer which has not been satisfied or could be the subject of any such claim, assuming that a claim was made in respect of such Taxation;

	13.1.2	has been recovered under any relevant statutory provision (and the Principal Shareholders shall procure that no such recovery is sought to the extent that payment is made hereunder); or

	13.1.3	has been paid or discharged by the relevant Buyer, Company or company controlled by the Buyer, or person or persons controlling the Buyer, as the case may be.

13.2	Paragraphs 5 (Due Date for Payment), 6.7 (Time Limits) and 7 (Claims Procedure) of this schedule and paragraph 1.5 (Threshhold) of schedule 5 shall apply to paragraph 13.1 as they apply to the covenants contained in paragraph 3, replacing references to the "Principal Shareholders" and "Managers’ Representative" by references to the "Buyer" (and vice versa) and making any other necessary modifications.

	14.1.1	in the event that no notice of enquiry (as specified in paragraph 14.1.2 below) has been given to the relevant Company prior to that date, on 1 October 2010 (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next Business Day); or

	14.1.2	in the event that a notice of enquiry has been given to the Claimant Company under paragraph 24, Schedule 18, FA 1998 in respect of the accounting period in which a Company so utilises an Exit Bonus Relief (including by claiming surrender of the Exit Bonus Relief from the Company liable to pay the Bonus to which the Exit Bonus Relief relates), the date of receipt of a closure notice under paragraph 32, Schedule 18, FA 1998, and for the avoidance of doubt in such case the Buyer shall only be obliged to make payment under this paragraph 14.1 to the extent that following such enquiry, the Tax Authority has accepted the utilisation of an Exit Bonus Relief.

14.2	For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of paragraph 14.1 shall apply notwithstanding that the corporation tax saved is corporation tax for which the Buyer could make a claim either under paragraph 3 or for breach of a Tax Warranty. Where and to the extent that the corporation tax saved is corporation tax for which the Buyer could so claim, the provisions of paragraph 6.11 shall apply and the Buyer shall remain entitled to make such claims for such corporation tax notwithstanding that the Exit Bonus Relief has been used to reduce or eliminate such corporation tax.

15.2	For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of paragraph 15.1 shall apply notwithstanding that any output VAT that is otherwise payable by Brookhouse Composites Limited in the quarterly accounting period current at Completion which is reduced, is output VAT for which the Buyer could make a claim either under paragraph 3 or for breach of a Tax Warranty. Where and to the extent that the output VAT reduced is output VAT for which the Buyer could so claim, the provisions of paragraph 6.11 shall apply and the Buyer shall remain entitled to make such claims for such output VAT notwithstanding that the VAT Relief has been used to reduce or eliminate such output VAT.
