(a)	the Shareholder Arrangements are hereby terminated;

(b)

any and all rights of any Seller and/or any of its Affiliates and any and all obligations of the Company under, pursuant to or in connection with the Shareholder Arrangements, along with any other claim or demand of any Seller or any of its Affiliates against the Company, which are subsisting or outstanding at the date of this Agreement are expressly waived and released, including any and all such rights and obligations, claims and demands which may have accrued in respect of any period prior to Completion; and

(g)

any act or omission which would not have discharged or affected the liability of the Buyer had it been a principal debtor instead of a guarantor, or indemnifier or by anything done or omitted by any person which, but for this provision, might operate to exonerate or discharge the Buyer or otherwise reduce or extinguish its liability under this guarantee.

12.6.

The Sellers may, by written notice signed by a Sellers Majority (a “Change Of Sellers’ Representative Notice”), replace a resigning Sellers’ Representative or remove an incumbent Sellers’ Representative from such position and appoint another person to act as Sellers’ Representative in substitution thereof (a “New Sellers’ Representative”). A Change Of Sellers’ Representative Notice shall be effective only once a copy thereof has been served on both the incumbent Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer.

12.7.

A New Sellers’ Representative so appointed shall, with effect from the time of its appointment, execute a deed of adherence in favour of the Sellers and the Buyer pursuant to which it shall agree to adhere to, and be bound by, this Agreement as though named herein as the Sellers’ Representative and the parties agree that such substitute New Sellers’ Representative shall be conferred the rights, power and authorities (including as set out in this clause 12) of the Sellers’ Representative as set out in this Agreement and entitled to directly enforce the same (notwithstanding that it may not have initially been a signatory hereto).

The Buyer shall not be required to make further enquiries in respect thereof. The Buyer shall have no obligation to monitor or supervise the Sellers’ Representative or any New Sellers’ Representative. The Buyer shall not be liable to any of the Sellers for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Sellers’ Representative or any New Sellers’ Representative.

12.10.

All costs (including legal costs) and expenses (including Tax), in each case, of any nature whatsoever, of the Sellers’ Representative shall be borne by the Sellers in the proportions set out in column D of the table in Schedule 1 (The Sellers).

12.11.

The Sellers’ Representative shall have no liability or obligation to take any action on behalf of any Seller under the powers and authorities conferred on the Sellers’ Representative by this Agreement where such action may result in the Sellers’ Representative incurring any cost, expense or liability unless the Sellers’ Representative is satisfied with any arrangements made by (or on behalf of) the Sellers for the satisfaction or re-imbursement of such costs, expenses and liabilities.

12.12.

Upon Completion, and subject to receipt by the Sellers’ Representative of the cash sum provided for in clause 3.3(a), the Sellers’ Representative will retain an amount of [***] from such sum (the “Expense Fund”), which will be used for the purposes of paying directly, or reimbursing the Sellers’ Representative for, any third party expenses pursuant to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Sellers will not receive any interest or earnings on the Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Sellers’ Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Sellers’ Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The Sellers’ Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds in a segregated client account, will not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. As soon as practicable following the completion of the Sellers’ Representative’s

CONFIDENTIAL

responsibilities, the Sellers’ Representative will distribute the balance of the Expense Fund to the Payments Administrator for further distribution to the Sellers. For tax purposes, the Expense Fund shall be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Sellers at the time of Completion. The parties agree that the Sellers’ Representative is not responsible for any tax withholding or reporting or acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Expense Fund.

12.13.

The Sellers’ Representative will incur no liability of any kind with respect to any action or omission by the Sellers’ Representative in connection with Sellers’ Representative’s services pursuant to this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, except in the event of liability directly resulting from the Sellers’ Representative’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The Sellers’ Representative shall not be liable to any Seller as a result of any action or omission that is taken (or not taken) in good faith pursuant to the advice of external legal counsel in the proper performance of its obligations under this Agreement. The Sellers will, severally and not jointly, on a pro rata basis equal to the portion of Total Consideration each such Seller is entitled to receive pursuant to this Agreement compared to the aggregate Total Consideration entitled to be received by all Sellers, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Sellers’ Representative from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the Sellers’ Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Sellers’ Representative, the Sellers’ Representative will reimburse the Sellers the amount of such Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or wilful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Sellers’ Representative by the Sellers, any such indemnified Representative Losses may be recovered by the Sellers’ Representative from (i) the funds in the Expense Fund, (ii) the amounts in the Escrow Amount at such

CONFIDENTIAL

time as remaining amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Sellers, and (iii) from any Milestone Payments at such time as any such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Sellers; provided, that while this section allows the Sellers’ Representative to be paid from the Expense Fund, the Escrow Amount and the Milestone Payments, this does not relieve the Sellers from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Sellers’ Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Sellers’ Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Sellers or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the limitations on liability of the Sellers set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provide to the Sellers’ Representative under this clause 12.13. The Sellers acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnities will survive the resignation or removal of the Sellers’ Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

13.	PAYMENTS

13.1.

14.	ANNOUNCEMENTS

14.1.

Subject to clause 14.2, no party (the “disclosing party”) may, before or after Completion, make or issue a public announcement or press release concerning the transactions referred to in this Agreement other than the Press Release unless it has first obtained the written consent of the Sellers (prior to Completion, if the disclosing party is the Buyer) or the Sellers’ Representative (after Completion, if the disclosing party is the Buyer), or of the Buyer (if the disclosing party is a Seller) (in either case, the “other party”), which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

If the Sellers’ Representative does not within 30 calendar days of presentation to it of the Draft Completion Accounts give notice to the Buyer that it disagrees with the Draft Completion Accounts or any item therein, stating the reasons for the disagreement in reasonable detail including each disputed item, the amount in dispute and the basis for such dispute (the “Sellers’ Disagreement Notice”), the Draft Completion Accounts shall constitute the Completion Accounts and shall be final and binding on the parties for all purposes in accordance with paragraph 12 of this Part A of Schedule 4.

If the Sellers’ Representative gives a Sellers’ Disagreement Notice under paragraph 3, the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall attempt in good faith to reach agreement in respect thereof (and, if such agreement is reached, the Draft Completion Accounts as amended by the matters set out in the Sellers’ Disagreement Notice and agreed by the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative in writing shall constitute the Completion Accounts and shall be final and binding on them for all purposes in accordance with paragraph 12 of this Part A of Schedule 4). If they are unable to do so within 30 calendar days of such notification under paragraph 3 of this Part A of Schedule 4, either party may, by notice to the other (an “Appointment Notice”), require that the Draft Completion Accounts be referred to an independent firm of internationally recognised chartered accountants agreed upon by the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative or, failing agreement within five (5) Business Days of service of the Appointment Notice, nominated by the President for the time being of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales or in his/her absence a suitable deputy (the “Reporting Accountants”).

In particular, without limitation, their determination shall be deemed to be incorporated into the Draft Completion Accounts, which shall then be final and binding on the parties for the purposes of this Schedule 4, save as stated above in the event of fraud or manifest error.

8.	The Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall co-operate with the Reporting Accountants and comply with their reasonable requests made in connection with the carrying out of their duties pursuant to their engagement under the terms of this Agreement.

Subject to paragraph 10 of this Part A of Schedule 4, nothing in this Schedule 4 shall entitle the Buyer or the Sellers’ Representative or the Reporting Accountants to have access to any information or document which is protected by legal professional privilege, or which has been prepared by the other party or its accountants or other professional advisers with a view to assessing the merits of any claim or argument.

CONFIDENTIAL

10.	The Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall not be entitled by reason of paragraph 9 of this Part A of Schedule 4 to refuse to supply such part or parts of documents as contain only the facts on which the relevant claim or argument is based.

Part D: Preparation of Management Accounts

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. PRESENTATION OF MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTS

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, management make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not

CONFIDENTIAL

readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

b.	OVERALL CONSIDERATIONS

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the management accounts are set out below.

i.	BASIS OF PREPARATION OF MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTS

These management accounts have been prepared in accordance with EU endorsed International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) and the Companies ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The management accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

ii.

GOING CONCERN

Management prepare management accounts on a going concern basis unless they intend to liquidate the business or to cease trading, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. In deciding whether the going concern basis is appropriate, the directors examine existing budgets and forecasts, assess borrowing requirements, and review other information as needed.

iii.

NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS ADOPTED BY THE COMPANY

In any period, new or amended standards and interpretations are considered for adoption. Other standards, amendments and interpretations which are effective for the period are considered where they material to the Company.

c.	RECEIVABLES

Receivables are recognised initially at fair value less provision for impairment. The Company provides an allowance for uncollectible accounts based on prior experience and management’s assessment of the collectability of existing specific accounts.

d.	CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand and demand deposits, and other short-term and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

CONFIDENTIAL

e.	EQUITY AND RESERVES

Ordinary and preferred shares are classified as equity. Issued capital represents the nominal value of shares that have been issued. Retained earnings includes all current period retained profits and accumulated losses.

f.	TRADE PAYABLES

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade and other payables are stated at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these liabilities. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one period or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

g.	REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is stated net of value added taxes. Revenue is recognised when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Company and those benefits can be measured reliably. Revenue on the sale of an asset (e.g. the outright sale or assignment of a licence) is only recognised when, inter alia, the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer and the Company does not retain either control of the goods, or continuing involvement, to the degree associated with ownership.

Where, as part of a licence agreement, services are performed by an indeterminate number of acts over a specified period of time, revenue for such services is recognised on a straight-line basis over the specified period unless there is evidence that some other method represents better the stage of completion.

h.	SHARE BASED PAYMENTS

A share option compensation charge is not recognised in the monthly management accounts.

i.	TAXATION AND DEFERRED TAX

A tax credit or charge is not reflected in the monthly management accounts. Deferred tax is not reflected in the monthly management accounts.

j.	FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

CONFIDENTIAL

i.	FINANCIAL ASSETS

All financial assets relate to trade and other receivables, which are stated at their recoverable amount, which approximates the fair value due to the short term nature of these assets.

ii. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY

The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies and as such is exposed to currency risk due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce exposure to foreign exchange risk.

iii.

FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

Trade and other payables are stated at cost. This approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these liabilities.

k.	FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

Foreign currency transactions are translated at the rates of exchange in effect at the dates of the transaction. Resulting foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses on foreign exchange are recognised in the income statement.

CONFIDENTIAL
