5.3 The First Deferred Consideration shall be satisfied as follows:

5.3.1 by payment by the Buyer in accordance with Clause 5.12 on the First Deferred Consideration Payment Date of the sum equal to the First Deferred Consideration less the aggregate of:-

(a) the sum equal to any Deferred Consideration Advance(s) paid by the Buyer to the Seller prior to the First Deferred Consideration Payment Date to the extent such Deferred Consideration Advance(s) relate to a Seller LLP Partner’s entitlement to a proportion of the First Deferred Consideration (adjusted for the adding back of any amounts repaid by the Seller to the Buyer pursuant to Clause 5.7 in respect of any such Deferred Consideration Advances relating to a Seller LLP Partner’s entitlement to a proportion of the First Deferred Consideration); and

(b) sum equal to the Total First Leaver Deduction; and

5.3.2 by payment by the Buyer in accordance with Clause 5.12 of the sum equal to the Total First Leaver Deduction less the sum equal to any Deferred Consideration Advance(s) paid by the Buyer to the Seller to the extent such Deferred Consideration Advance(s) relate to a Seller LLP Partner’s entitlement to a proportion of the First Deferred Consideration (adjusted for the adding back of any amounts repaid by the Seller to the Buyer pursuant to Clause 5.7 in respect of any such Deferred Consideration Advances relating to a Seller LLP Partner’s entitlement to a proportion of the First Deferred Consideration), to be paid by the Buyer on the Leaver Adjustment Payment Date.

Deferred Consideration Advances

19

5.5 Upon the Seller giving a Deferred Consideration Advance Notice to the Buyer, the Buyer undertakes to pay to the Seller (in pounds sterling by electronic transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account as shall be notified by the Seller to the Buyer) the sum equal to the Deferred Consideration Advance specified in the relevant Deferred Consideration Advance Notice on the date that is the tenth Business Day prior to the date on which the relevant Tax to which the Deferred Consideration Advance Notice relates is due and payable to the relevant Tax Authority or, if later, five Business Days after service by the Seller of the Deferred Consideration Advance Notice.

5.6 The Seller shall take, and shall procure that each Seller LLP Partner takes, all steps reasonably necessary or reasonably requested by the Buyer (in each case, if any) to ensure, to the extent permitted by law, no Tax falls due for payment to the relevant Tax Authority prior to the First Deferred Consideration Payment Date (in respect of the First Deferred Consideration) or the Second Deferred Consideration (in respect of the Second Deferred Consideration). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Clause 5.6 shall oblige the Seller or any Seller LLP Partner to take any step that may increase the total amount of Tax payable by the Seller or that Seller LLP Partner in respect of the First Deferred Consideration or the Second Deferred Consideration.

5.7 Where the Buyer has made a Deferred Consideration Advance under Clause 5.5 in respect of an amount of Tax payable by a Seller LLP Partner in respect of his entitlement to a proportion of the First Deferred Consideration or the Second Deferred Consideration and the amount of such Tax is subsequently refunded to, or set-off against another Tax liability of, that Seller LLP Partner, the Seller shall account to the Buyer for such portion of that Deferred Consideration Advance as is equal to the amount of such refund or set-off. Each Seller LLP Partner shall take all reasonable steps available to it under Applicable Law to obtain any such refund or set-off to which it is entitled. Any amount required to be paid by the Seller to the Buyer pursuant to this Clause 5.7 shall be paid within 20 Business Days of such refund or set-off.

Leavers

5.8 In the event that any Seller LLP Partner(s) cease(s) to be a member of the Seller at any time prior to the date falling five Business Days prior to the First Deferred Consideration Payment Date (the “First Leaver Test Date”) and such person is not a Good Leaver, the Seller shall as soon as reasonably practicable and by no later than 5pm on the First Leaver Test Date notify the Buyer in writing of such Seller LLP Partner(s) having so ceased to be a member of the Seller, such written notice also to state:

5.8.1 the name(s) of the relevant Seller LLP Partner(s);

Acceleration

5.11 In the event of:

5.11.1 a Buyer Change of Control; or

5.11.2 a sale or disposal of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Buyer and/or the Buyer’s Guarantor to a third party,

(including as part of a wider transaction) at any time prior to the First Deferred Consideration and Second Deferred Consideration having been paid in full to the Seller (inclusive of any Deferred Consideration Advances), the sum equal to the aggregate of the First Deferred Consideration and the Second Deferred Consideration (including all First Deferred Consideration Leaver Adjustments and Second Deferred Consideration Leaver Adjustments) less any amounts already paid to the Seller (including any Deferred Consideration Advances) shall become immediately due and payable by the Buyer to the Seller.

Payments

5.12 All payments to be made to the Seller under this Agreement shall, unless otherwise stated or agreed in writing between the Parties, be made in pounds sterling by electronic transfer of immediately available funds to the Payment Agent Account. The Payment Agent is irrevocably authorised by the Seller to receive the same. The Buyer’s payment of any such sum to the Payment Agent and the receipt of such payment by the Payment Agent shall be an absolute discharge to the Buyer of its obligation to pay such sum to the Seller.

5.13 Any amount paid by the Seller under this Agreement or the Tax Deed shall, so far as possible and to the extent not already deducted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, be treated as an adjustment to the Consideration.

5.14 If any payment required to be made by the Buyer to the Seller in respect of any element of the Consideration is made after the date on which such payment is due, interest shall accrue on such amount from (but not including) the due date of the payment to (and including) the date such payment is actually made at four per cent. (4%) above the base lending rate of Barclays Bank plc from time to time in force, calculated from day to day on the basis of a year of 365 days and compounded on the last day of March, June, September and December in each year, both before and after judgement.

5.15 For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller LLP Partners shall be liable for any Tax payable by the Seller LLP Partners in respect of the Consideration and the Seller shall be liable for any Tax payable by the Seller in respect of the Consideration.

5.16 Save as set out in Clause 6.3, any payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in full without any set off or counterclaim and without any deduction or withholding (save as may be required by law).

5.17 If any Party is required by law to make a deduction or withholding for or on account of Tax from any payment made pursuant to this Agreement (other than a payment to the Seller of any part of the Consideration and other than a payment of interest) or if any payment made pursuant to this Agreement (other than a payment to the Seller of any part of the Consideration and other than a payment of or interest) is subject to Tax in the hands of the payee (ignoring for these purposes the availability of any Relief), the payor shall pay such additional amount (“Gross up Amount”) as shall, after the making of such deduction or withholding or after such Tax, leave the payee with the same amount as it would have received had no deduction or withholding been made or had the

21

payment not been subject to Tax. Where a payor has made an increased payment under this Clause 5.17 in respect of a deduction or withholding and the payee subsequently receives and retains a Relief in respect of the amount withheld or deducted, the payee shall account to the payor for such portion of any such Relief as does not exceed the Gross up Amount and as shall leave the payee in no better or worse after-Tax position than if no such deduction or withholding had been required to be made. The Seller shall have no additional liability under this Clause 5.17 to the extent it would not have been so liable were the Buyer a company incorporated and resident in the United Kingdom for all Tax purposes.

6. LEAKAGE

6.1 The Seller covenants to the Buyer that, other than the Permitted Leakage:

6.1.1 from (but excluding) the Locked Box Date up to (and including) the date of this Agreement there has not been; and

6.1.2 from (but excluding) the date of this Agreement up to (and including) the Completion Date there will not be

any Leakage, provided always that the Buyer’s sole remedy for any breach of this Clause 6.1 shall be under Clause 6.2 or Clause 6.3 and subject to the remaining provisions of this Clause 6.

6.2 Subject to the following provisions of this Clause 6, the Seller agrees to pay to the Buyer upon a demand in writing from the Buyer an amount in cash equal to the amount or value of any Leakage arising during the Locked Box Period (to the extent not already deducted from the Initial Consideration as part of the Agreed Leakage Amount pursuant to Clause 6.3) and to the extent that the Seller is liable to make payment in respect of any Leakage the Seller shall make payment to the Buyer no later than five Business Days after receipt of the Buyer’s written demand.

6.3 If following the date of this Agreement but prior to the Completion Date, the Buyer and the Seller agree in writing that Leakage (including the quantum of such Leakage) has occurred (the “Agreed Leakage Amount”), the amount of the Initial Consideration payable to the Seller shall, to the extent possible, be reduced by the Agreed Leakage Amount such that the payment of the reduced Initial Consideration shall be an absolute discharge of the Buyer’s obligation to pay the Initial Consideration to the Seller on Completion pursuant to Clause 5.2 and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer shall be entitled to pursue a claim for any Leakage incurred that exceeds the Agreed Leakage Amount and which arises out of the same facts, matter and circumstances as the Agreed Leakage Amount, in accordance with Clause 6.2.

6.4 Save for fraud on the part of the Seller, any of the Seller LLP Partners or any of their connected persons, the maximum aggregate liability of the Seller under Clauses 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 shall not, in any circumstances, exceed the amount of Leakage actually received by the Seller, the Seller LLP Partners and any of their connected persons, or in respect of which the Seller, the Seller LLP Partners and any of their connected persons have actually benefitted (provided that an amount falling within paragraph (j) of the definition of “Leakage” shall be deemed, for the purposes of this Clause 6.4, to be actually received by the Seller). The Buyer shall not be entitled to recover more than once in respect of any Leakage.

6.5 The Seller shall not be liable for any claim for Leakage under this Clause 6 to the extent such Leakage has been returned or reversed to and actually received by any Group Company whether before or following Completion without cost to any Group Company or any member of the Buyer’s Group. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that any Group Company has incurred cost in connection with the return or reversal of any Leakage and such cost has not been reimbursed to such Group Company then the Seller shall only be liable for (and the Buyer may only make) a claim for Leakage in respect of such unreimbursed cost and not the sum returned or reversed and received by the Group Company.

6.6 The amount payable by the Seller under Clause 6.1 in respect of any Leakage shall be reduced by the amount of any Tax Saving which is realised by any Group Company as a result of, or in connection with, such Leakage.

22

6.7 The Seller shall not be liable for any claim under this Clause 6 (a “Leakage Claim”) unless:-

6.7.1 written notice of the claim (giving specific details of the nature of the claim, the circumstances giving rise to it and the Buyer’s bona fide estimate of any Leakage alleged to have been received (or deemed to have been received) or benefitted from by the Seller, the Seller LLP Partners or any of their connected persons, in each case to the extent available to the Buyer) has been received by the Seller from the Buyer on or before the earlier of:- (i) the date which is nine months after Completion; or (ii) 31 July 2022; and

6.7.2 if the Seller and the Buyer cannot agree the Leakage Claim (or the quantum relating thereto), proceedings have been issued and served against the Seller within six months of such claim having been notified in accordance with Clause 6.7.1.

7. POSITION PENDING COMPLETION

7.1 From the date of this Agreement until Completion the Seller shall procure that each Group Company will carry on its business in the ordinary course of business except as otherwise required under this Agreement and will comply with the undertakings contained in Part 1 of Schedule 4 in relation to the conduct of the business of the Group.

7.2 From the date of this Agreement until Completion the Seller will carry on its business in the ordinary course of business except as otherwise required under this Agreement and will not take any action set forth in items (a) through (e) (inclusive) and (g) of Part 1 of Schedule B of the Shareholders’ Agreement (as if the Shareholders’ Agreement were in effect), without the prior written consent of the Buyer in its sole discretion.

7.3 The Seller shall (and following Completion, insofar as it is within their power, the Seller and the Buyer shall procure that their appointees on the Executive Board shall) procure that the Company shall undertake the actions set forth in Schedule 10 (Certain Actions).

7.4 The Seller may submit a request to the Buyer for consent to take any action listed in Part 1 of Schedule 4 (“Consent Matter”) in accordance with the provisions of Clause 16, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

The third arbitrator, who shall act as the chairman of the tribunal, shall be nominated by agreement of the two party-appointed arbitrators, reached in consultation

35

with the parties to such dispute, within twenty (20) days of the confirmation of the appointment of the second arbitrator, or in default of such agreement, appointed by the LCIA.

This Clause is expressly intended to afford the tribunal so appointed with greater flexibility and discretion to consolidate related arbitration claims and proceedings, so that related claims and proceedings may be combined within a single proceeding, than is otherwise afforded under the LCIA Rules. For the avoidance of doubt, each Party expressly acknowledges that the fact that the first in time arbitral tribunal has already been appointed does not constitute significant prejudice for the purpose of this Clause 24.

6.1.1 as soon as reasonably practicable give written notice of that matter to the Seller specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the potential liability and, so far as is reasonably practicable, the amount likely to be claimed in respect of it, provided that no failure or delay in the giving of such notice shall limit the Buyer’s rights unless the Seller is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure or delay;

59

6.4 Nothing in this Agreement shall or shall be deemed to relieve the Buyer of any common law or other duty to mitigate any loss or damage incurred by it (including enforcing against any person other than the Seller, any rights any member of the Buyer’s Group has or may have in respect of the fact, matter or circumstance giving rise to a claim under the Warranties).
