4.5

No Locked Box Claim may be made against any of the Sellers unless notice of the Locked Box Claim, specifying in reasonable detail the specific matter in respect of which the Locked Box Claim is made and an indication of the amount claimed, is served on that Seller in writing as soon as practicable after the Buyer becomes aware of the circumstances giving rise to the Locked Box Claim and, in any event, within six months of the date of Completion, provided always that the liability of that Seller shall cease absolutely unless within six months of service of such notice legal proceedings in respect of such Locked Box Claim have been properly issued and validly served on the relevant Seller.

4.7	If Completion does not occur, the Sellers shall have no liability to the Buyer under any of clauses 4 and 6.

4.8

Nothing in this clause 4 shall have the effect of limiting, restricting or excluding the liability of a Seller in respect of a Locked Box Claim arising as a result of that Seller’s own fraud, but the fraud of that Seller shall not prevent any other Seller who was not a party to that fraud from benefiting from any such limitation, restriction or exclusion to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Scope

(a)

which has been resolved by written agreement between the Warrantor(s) and the Buyer; or

(b)

which is the subject of an order as to both liability and quantum made by a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction or arbitration,

provided that the foregoing shall not prevent the Buyer from proceeding with a Claim so as to determine whether any of the limitations set out in this Schedule 7 do not apply or are exceeded.

1.4

Except with the written consent of each of the Warrantors, the Buyer shall not, and shall procure that no member of the Wider Buyer’s Group shall, enter into any transaction or arrangement with any of the Warrantors the purpose of which is to release, avoid or mitigate the liability of any of the Warrantors which does not apply in the same manner to all the Warrantors in their Relevant Proportions.

1.5

Nothing in this Schedule shall have the effect of excluding, limiting or restricting any liability of a Warrantor in respect of a Claim arising as a result of fraud by that Warrantor, but the fraud of that Warrantor shall not prevent any other Warrantor who was not a party to that fraud from benefiting from the provisions of this Schedule.

2	Cap on liability

No Claim may be made against the Warrantors unless notice (complying with the provisions of paragraph 3.2 below) of such Claim is served on the Warrantors in writing as soon as practicable after the Buyer becomes aware of the circumstances giving rise to a Claim and, in any event within 12 months of Completion provided that, subject to paragraphs 4 (Right to remedy), 5 (Contingent liabilities) and 11 (Conduct of Claims), the liability of the Warrantors shall cease absolutely unless within six months of service of such notice legal proceedings in respect of such Claim have been properly issued and validly served on the Warrantors.

3.2	A notice of Claim shall specify in reasonable detail the specific matter in respect of which the Claim is made and, if practicable, a calculation of the amount claimed.

4	Right to remedy

The Warrantors shall not be liable for any Claim if the alleged breach which is the subject of the Claim is capable of remedy, and is remedied to the reasonable satisfaction of the Buyer by the Warrantors within 45 days of the date on which the notice in paragraph 3.1 above is received by the Warrantors (and the Buyer agrees to use all reasonable endeavours to assist and to procure the assistance of the Company in remedying such breach at the reasonable cost of those Warrantors in breach of such Claim).

5	Contingent liabilities

No Claim may be made against the Warrantors based upon a liability which is contingent unless and until such contingent liability becomes an actual liability or results in an actual loss.

6	Threshold and de minimis

6.1	The Warrantors shall not be liable in respect of any Claim unless the aggregate liability for all Claims exceeds £2,950,000, in which case the Warrantors shall be liable for the whole of such amount and not just the excess over such amount.

6.2	In calculating liability for Claims for the purposes of paragraph 6.1 above, any Claim which is less than £75,000 shall be disregarded.

6.3

For the purposes of paragraph 6.2, where a Claim relates to more than one event, circumstance, act or omission which events, circumstances, acts or omissions would separately give rise to Claims but which are nonetheless connected as a series, such Claim shall not be treated as a separate Claim in respect of each such event, circumstance, act or omission.

7	Changes in legislation

The Warrantors shall not be liable in respect of a Claim to the extent such Claim would not have arisen but for, or is increased directly or indirectly as a result of:

(a)

the passing of, or a change in, a law, rule, regulation, interpretation of the law or administrative practice of a government, governmental department, agency or regulatory body in any case occurring on or after the date of this Agreement;

(b)

an increase in the Taxation rates or an imposition of Taxation in each case not actually or prospectively in force at the date of this Agreement; or

(c)

the change by statute or by any regulatory or other body of any accounting policy or a change in the application of any accounting policy or estimation technique in the preparation of financial statements by the Buyer or any member of the Buyer’s Group.

-89-

8	Acts of Buyer

The Warrantors shall not be liable in respect of a Claim to the extent such Claim is attributable to, or is increased directly or indirectly as a result of:

(a)

any act, omission, transaction or arrangement carried out at the express request of or with the written approval of the Buyer before or at Completion;

(b)

any act, omission, transaction or arrangement outside the ordinary course of business carried out by or on behalf of the Buyer or on behalf of a member of the Wider Buyer’s Group or by or on behalf of persons deriving title from the Buyer or a member of the Wider Buyer’s Group on or after Completion where the Buyer knew, or ought reasonably to have known, that such act, omission, transaction or arrangement could result in a Claim or increase the amount of a Claim, in each case otherwise than where the act, omission, transaction or arrangement is carried out pursuant to any binding legal commitment entered into by any of the Companies prior to Completion or is required by any Law as in force as at Completion;

(c)

any breach by the Buyer of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents; or

(d)

any reorganisation or change in ownership of any member of the Wider Buyer’s Group on or after Completion.

9	Mitigation

The Buyer shall, and shall procure that each other member of the Wider Buyer’s Group shall, take reasonable steps to avoid or mitigate, and shall not, and shall procure that each other member of the Wider Buyer’s Group shall not, take any unreasonable steps to increase, any loss or liability (without prejudice to any similar obligation existing at law generally or any other specific term of this Agreement) which might give rise to any Claim.

10	Recovery from another person

10.1

If the Buyer, or any member of the Buyer’s Group, recovers (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief or otherwise) from a third party (including any insurer under an insurance policy) an amount which relates to a Claim, any actual recovery (less any reasonable costs incurred in obtaining such recovery and less any Taxation attributable to the recovery after taking account of any Sellers’ Relief available in respect of any matter giving rise to the Claim) shall to that extent reduce or satisfy, as the case may be, such Claim.

10.2

If one or more of the Warrantors pays an amount in respect of a Claim and the Buyer, or any member of the Buyer’s Group, subsequently recovers (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief or otherwise) from a third party (including any insurer under an insurance policy) an amount which relates to the Claim, the Buyer shall procure that the relevant member of the Wider Buyer’s Group shall pay to the relevant Warrantors an amount equal to the lesser of the amount recovered from the third party less any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery and the amount previously paid by the Warrantors to the Buyer (such payment to be divided between the Warrantors in proportion to the amounts previously paid by them).

11	Conduct of Claims

11.1	If a member of the Wider Buyer’s Group becomes aware of any matter or circumstance which gives rise to or is reasonably likely to give rise to any claim, action or demand from a third party which results in or is reasonably likely to result in a Claim (a “Third Party Claim”):

(a)

the Buyer shall as soon as reasonably practicable give written notice to and, to the extent practicable, consult with the Warrantors in respect of the matter, circumstance, claim, action or demand stating on a without prejudice basis its nature in reasonable detail, (if practicable) the amount claimed, and the provisions of this Agreement which are alleged to have been or which may have been breached, and procure that the Warrantors and their advisers are given all reasonable facilities to investigate it;

-90-

(b)

subject to the Buyer and/or the relevant member of the Wider Buyer’s Group being indemnified on demand for all liabilities, costs, damages and expenses which may be thereby incurred, the Buyer shall not, and shall procure that each member of the Wider Buyer’s Group shall not, admit liability in respect of the Third Party Claim, nor compromise, nor settle any proceedings in respect of the Third Party Claim, without the written consent of the Warrantors (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(c)

the Buyer shall, and shall procure that each member of the Wider Buyer’s Group shall, keep the Warrantors fully informed of the progress of the Third Party Claim and, to the extent practicable, consult with the Warrantors with respect to the handling of the Third Party Claim;

(d)

the Buyer shall, and shall procure that each member of the Wider Buyer’s Group shall, subject to the Buyer and/or the relevant member of the Wider Buyer’s Group being indemnified on demand for all liabilities, costs and expenses:

at the written request of the Warrantors, take such action as the Warrantors reasonably request to avoid, dispute, resist, appeal, defend, compromise or settle the Third Party Claim (including, without limitation, making any counterclaims or other claims against third parties);

(ii)

provide to the Warrantors and their advisers on reasonable prior notice reasonable access to premises and personnel and to relevant assets, documents and records within each member of the Buyer’s Group’s power or control for the purposes of investigating the matter or entitlement which allegedly gives rise to the Third Party Claim, except where to do so would breach or endanger any member of the Buyer’s Group’s legal privilege in any such documents or records or any obligations of confidentiality owed to a third party; and

(iii)

permit the Warrantors to examine and take copies of the documents or records, and photograph the premises or assets, referred to in paragraph 11.1(d)(ii) above; and

(e)

the Warrantors shall not be required to make any payment in respect of any Claim until the Third Party Claim has been satisfied, settled, determined or withdrawn.

11.2

If, in respect of any Claim or potential Claim, a member of the Wider Buyer’s Group has any right of action, indemnity, contribution or entitlement to recover (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief or otherwise) from or against any third party (including any insurer under an insurance policy) (a “Right of Recovery”), then the Buyer shall and shall procure that each member of the Wider Buyer’s Group shall:

(a)

take all reasonable steps to enforce the Right of Recovery;

(b)

make no compromise, disposition or settlement of the Right of Recovery (and make no admission of liability in respect of any related counterclaim) without the written consent of the Warrantors (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and

(c)

subject to the Buyer and/or the relevant member of the Wider Buyer’s Group being indemnified on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses:

-91-

(i)

at the written request of the Warrantors take such action as the Warrantors reasonably request to pursue, appeal, compromise or settle the Right of Recovery (including, without limitation, defending any counterclaims or other claims by third parties) and any related adjudication or proceedings, and to conduct related matters including negotiations or appeals; and

(ii)

comply with the provisions of paragraphs 11.1(d)(ii), 11.1(d)(iii) and 11.1(e) as the Warrantors deem necessary as if the words “Right of Recovery” were substituted for “Third Party Claim”.

11.3

The Buyer shall, and shall procure that each member of the Wider Buyer’s Group shall, use its reasonable endeavours to preserve all documents, records, correspondence, accounts, electronically stored data and other information relevant to a matter which may give rise to a Claim, a Third Party Claim or a Right of Recovery.

12	Insurance policies

In respect of any matter which would give rise to a Claim, if the Company and/or its Subsidiaries is entitled to claim under any policy of insurance, the relevant member of the Wider Buyer’s Group shall take all reasonable steps to bring a claim against its insurers and use all reasonable endeavours to pursue such claim, and any such insurance claim shall be dealt with in accordance with paragraphs 10.1 and 10.2.

13	Provision or reserve in the Locked Box Accounts

No matter shall be subject to a Claim to the extent that specific provision or reserve in respect of such matter shall have been made in the Locked Box Accounts.

(b)

to the extent that the Claim is in respect of Taxation and such Taxation arises from a transaction in the ordinary course of business of the Company and any of the Subsidiaries since the Locked Box Date; or

(d)

to the extent that the Claim is in respect of Taxation and such Taxation would not have arisen but for, or has been increased directly or indirectly as a result of:

(i)

a disclaimer, claim or election made or notice or consent given after Completion by a member of the Wider Buyer’s Group otherwise than at the request of the Warrantors; or

(ii)

a failure or omission by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to make any claim, election, surrender or disclaimer or give any notice or consent or do any other thing after Completion the making or giving or doing of which was taken into account or assumed in computing the provision for Taxation (including the provision for deferred Taxation) in the Accounts; or

-92-

(e)

to the extent that the Claim is in respect of Taxation and such Taxation arises from any change in the accounting or Taxation policy or estimation technique of or affecting a member of the Wider Buyer’s Group including the method of submission of Taxation returns or any change in the date to which any accounts are prepared, introduced or having effect on or after Completion; or

(f)

to the extent that the Claim is in respect of Taxation and such Taxation arises from any increase of rates of Taxation or imposition of new Taxation legislation or any change in applicable law or practice made or coming into effect after the date hereof or the withdrawal of any extra statutory concession currently granted by any Taxing Authority; or

(g)

to the extent that the Buyer or any member of the Wider Buyer’s Group has a right of recovery in respect of such Taxation from a person or persons other than the Warrantors; or

(h)

to the extent that the Claim is in respect of Taxation and such Taxation could be relieved or mitigated by any loss, relief, allowance, exemption, set off or credit in computing or against income, profits, gains or Taxation; or

(i)

to the extent that the Claim is in respect of Taxation and such Taxation was discharged (whether by payment or by the utilisation of any relief, allowance or credit in respect of Taxation) prior to Completion; or

(j)

to the extent that the Claim is in respect of Taxation and such Taxation is on or in respect of prepayments received in the ordinary course of business of the Company and any of the Subsidiaries since the Locked Box Date; or

(k)

to the extent that the Claim is in respect of VAT which has been charged and a tax invoice issued but which has not yet been accounted for to HM Revenue & Customs; or

(l)

to the extent that the Claim is in respect of Taxation and such Taxation arises under Regulations 107 to 110 of Part XV of the Value Added Tax Regulations 1995 in respect of a period ending or transaction occurring after Completion; or

(m)

to the extent that the Claim is in respect of Taxation and such Taxation arises or is increased as a result of any instalments or corporation tax paid before Completion being too small due to an act, omission, transaction or arrangement after Completion; or

(n)

to the extent that the Claim arises as a result of unutilised reliefs, allowances or credits (if any) of the Company or any Subsidiaries as at or arising before Completion proving to be unavailable or otherwise incapable of being utilised in reducing the income, profits or gains of the relevant Company or any Subsidiaries earned, accrued or received on or after Completion or the Taxation liabilities of the relevant Company or any Subsidiaries in respect of any period after Completion as a result of a major change in the nature or conduct of the business occurring in the three years prior to Completion.

14.2

In calculating the liability of the Warrantors for any Claim, there shall be taken into account the amount by which any Taxation for which the Buyer or any member of the Wider Buyer’s Group is now or may in the future be accountable or liable to be assessed is reduced or extinguished as a result of the matter giving rise to such liability and any repayment of Taxation which would not have arisen but for the matter giving rise to such liability.

15	No double recovery

The Buyer shall not be entitled to recover from the Warrantors more than once for the same damage suffered.

-93-

16	Net benefit
