The Seller’s Guarantor is not a party to any litigation, arbitration or administrative proceedings nor is it the subject of any governmental, regulatory or official investigation or enquiry which is in progress or threatened or pending and which has or could have a material adverse effect on its ability to execute or perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

(f)

No corporate action or other steps have been taken by the Seller’s Guarantor or legal proceedings started or threatened against it for its winding up or dissolution; or for it to enter into any arrangement or composition for the benefit of creditors; or for the appointment of a receiver, administrator, administrative receiver, liquidator, supervisor, compulsory manager, trustee or similar person of any of its revenues or assets.

(c)	The provisions of this Schedule shall, if they conflict with any other provision of this Agreement, prevail.

(d)	Unless otherwise stated, references to “paragraphs” in this Schedule are to paragraphs of this Schedule.

2	Caps on liability

(a)	The total liability of:

(i)

the Seller Parties (taken together) in respect of all claims in connection with the Transaction Documents (including any Claims) shall not in aggregate exceed £32,800,000 (thirty-two million eight hundred thousand pounds); and

(ii)

the Seller Parties (taken together) in respect of all General Warranty Claims and Tax Claims taken together shall not in aggregate exceed £16,400,000 (sixteen million four hundred thousand pounds).

(b)

For the purposes of the caps set out in this paragraph 2 the liability of a Seller Party shall be deemed to include the amount of all costs, expenses and other liabilities (together with any VAT thereon) payable by that Seller Party in connection with the satisfaction, settlement or determination of any such Claim (other than those costs, expenses and other liabilities incurred on its own account).

3	Minimum Claim Amount and Claims Threshold

(a)	The Seller Parties shall not be liable in respect of any Claim (other than a Fundamental Warranty Claim) unless:

(i)

the liability pursuant to that Claim (but for this paragraph 3(a)) exceeds £50,000 (the “Minimum Claim Amount”); and

(ii)

the aggregate liability to the Buyer in respect of all Claims which satisfy the Minimum Claim Amount exceeds £300,000 (the “Claims Threshold”).

(c)	If the Claims Threshold is exceeded, the relevant Seller Party shall be liable for the whole amount of the Claim, not just the excess.

(d)	For the purposes of paragraph 3(a), there shall be excluded from any Claim the amount of any costs, expenses and other liabilities (and any VAT thereon) incurred or to be incurred by the Buyer and/or any Group Company in connection with such Claim.

4	Time limits and notice of Claims

(a)	No Claim shall be brought against a Seller Party unless written notice of it is given to that Seller Party by the Buyer as soon as reasonably practicable (and no later than 3 months of when the Buyer became aware of the Claim) and in any event before the relevant Expiry Date.

(b)

Any notice of Claim must specify in reasonable detail and to the extent such details are available to the Buyer at the time of giving the written notice referred to in paragraph 4(a) above, the facts which gives rise to the Claim, the grounds for the Claim, including details of any warranty which it is claimed has been breached and how, and the amount of the Claim and how it has been calculated (and in the case of a Claim under the Tax Deed, the provisions of clause 3.2 of the Tax Deed must also be satisfied).

5	Proceedings

No Seller Party shall have liability for any Claim (that has not been previously satisfied or settled) unless the Buyer issues and serves legal proceedings in a court of

competent jurisdiction on that Seller Party in respect of the Claim on or before 9 months from the date on which the Buyer notified the Seller Party of the Claim (or in the case of any claim to which paragraph 11 applies, the date on which such Claim becomes an actual liability or becomes capable of being quantified).

6	Matters giving rise to Claims or recovery

(a)

If the Buyer or any other member of the Buyer’s Group becomes aware of circumstances which may give rise to a Claim or that it may be entitled to make a recovery from a third party in respect of circumstances which may or have given or are likely to give rise to a Claim against a Seller Party, the Buyer shall:

(i)

as soon as reasonably practicable give to the Seller Party written notice of the relevant circumstances in reasonable detail, including the facts which could give rise to a Claim, the grounds for the potential Claim (including details of any Warranty which may have been breached), the likely amount of the potential Claim and (if applicable) any potential entitlement to recovery from a third party;

(ii)	use reasonable commercial endeavours to consult with the Seller Party in relation to those circumstances and to make the maximum commercially practicable recovery from such third party;

(iii)

keep the Seller Party reasonably informed as to any material developments and the conduct of any proceedings relating to the matter and not take any action to admit liability or make any settlement or compromise or agree to anything in the conduct of those proceedings which may materially affect the amount of the liability in respect of the matter without the prior approval of the Seller Party (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld);

(iv)

take such action as is agreed after consultation between Buyer’s Group and the Seller Party (or failing agreement within 5 Business Days of either party commencing such consultation, take such action as a prudent person would reasonably commercially take if they did not have the benefit of the Warranties) to dispute, resist, appeal, compromise, defend, remedy or mitigate the matter, or to enforce against any third party any right of a member of the Buyer’s Group in relation to the relevant matter insofar as such action is not likely to materially prejudice the commercial interests of the Buyer’s Group;

(v)	promptly account (and procure that each member of the Buyer’s Group promptly accounts) to the Seller Party for an amount equal to the value of any benefit received net of the costs of recovery or, if less, the amount paid by the Seller Party to the Buyer in respect of such Claim.

(b)

Without prejudice to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 6, if the Buyer receives any payment from or on behalf of a Seller Party for any Claim (“Seller Payment”) and any member of the Buyer’s Group subsequently recovers any amount from any third party for anything relating to that Claim (“Recovered Amount”), the Buyer must promptly:

(i)

notify the Seller Party of the Recovered Amount; and

(ii)

pay the Seller Party an amount equal to the lesser of:

(A)

the Recovered Amount less any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the relevant member of the Buyer’s Group in making that recovery; and

(B)

the Seller Payment.

7	Mitigation

Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or exclude the Buyer’s common law duty to mitigate its loss and the Buyer shall procure that all reasonable steps are taken to avoid or mitigate any losses, costs or liabilities which it or any other member of the Buyer’s Group may suffer or incur in consequence of any fact, matter, event or circumstances which may give rise to a claim in connection with this Agreement. The Seller Parties’ liability for any claim in connection with this Agreement will be reduced to the extent any loss, costs or liabilities is greater as a consequence of a breach of this paragraph.

8	Remedy by the Seller Parties

To the extent that the subject matter of a claim in connection with this Agreement is capable of remedy, the Buyer shall only be entitled to make such claim if it gives a Seller Party by written notice all available details of the potential claim as soon as reasonably practicable and the breach is not remedied within 25 Business Days after the date of receipt of such notice.

9	No double recovery

The Buyer (together with any person deriving its right to make any Claim from the rights of the Buyer) shall not be entitled to seek recovery from the Seller Parties or make such recovery from the Seller Parties more than once (in aggregate) in respect of the same damage or loss suffered.

10	Benefits and savings

(a)	Any liability of a Seller Party in relation to a matter shall be computed after giving credit for any corresponding increase in value of the net assets of, or other saving by or benefit to, the Buyer’s Group arising in connection with the same matter.

(b)	If the Buyer or any other member of the Buyer’s Group shall discover that a benefit or saving has arisen, the Buyer shall procure that full details of it are given to a Seller Party.

(c)	The Buyer and each other member of the Buyer’s Group and its auditors and professional advisers shall supply such information as the Seller Parties shall reasonably require in order to verify the amount of any benefit or saving.

11	Contingent or non-quantifiable claims

If any Claim arises by reason of some liability which is contingent or otherwise not capable of quantification, then notice of that Claim must be made in accordance with paragraph 4 but no payment shall be due from a Seller Party in respect of it until the liability has been quantified and actual loss has been suffered by the Buyer as a consequence of the subject matter of the Claim.

12	Implementation of this Agreement

(a)

No Seller Party shall be liable for any claim in connection with this Agreement to the extent that the liability or other matter giving rise to such claim is attributable to any Group Company having done (or omitted to do) anything after the date of this Agreement as contemplated by the terms of a Transaction Document.

(b)	No Seller Party shall be liable for any Claim to the extent that the liability or other matter giving rise to such claim is attributable to any Seller Party having done (or omitted to do) anything after the date of this Agreement as contemplated by the terms of a Transaction Document.

13	Subsequent events

(a)	No Seller Party shall have any liability in respect of a Claim to the extent that it occurs or is increased as a result of:

(i)

any Applicable Law or any provision thereof not in force or effect or not otherwise being applicable at the date of this Agreement, including any Applicable Law or any provision thereof taking effect retrospectively;

(ii)

a change after the date of this Agreement in:

(A)

Applicable Laws or the interpretation of Applicable Laws;

(B)

the identity, administrative practice or policy of any governmental, regulatory or licensing body or authority; or

(C)

generally accepted accounting practices or international financial reporting standards (as the case may be);

(iii)

a change in the nature of, transfer, winding up or cessation after the date of this Agreement of a trade or business carried on by a member of the Buyer’s Group; or

(iv)

all or a substantial amount of any business or assets of any Group Company in respect of which the Claim arises having ceased to be owned or controlled by the Group Company after the date of this Agreement; or

(v)

any withdrawal of, or change to, any concession or practice of a Competent Authority or of any arrangement any Group Company entered into before the date of this Agreement; or

(vi)

changes after Completion in the accounting policies, principles, methods, practices or bases adopted by or applied in relation to a member of the Buyer’s Group or other change in the way in which a member of the Buyer’s Group values assets or liabilities or prepares, presents or compiles any accounts; or

(vii)

any voluntary act, omission, transaction or arrangement by or at the direction or request or with the prior written approval or consent or with the acquiescence of a member of the Buyer’s Group (other than, prior to Completion, a Group Company) or any of their employees, agents or advisers; or

(viii)

a breach of any Transaction Document by a member of the Buyer’s Group.

Fraud

Nothing in this Agreement limits the liability of a Seller Party in respect of its own fraud.

15	Disclosures

No Seller Party shall have any liability in respect of information and circumstances Disclosed.

16	Provisions

No Seller Party shall be liable for any Claim if and to the extent that any provision for the matter giving rise to the Claim is made in the Accounts or the Management Accounts.

17	Insured claims

To the extent that a member of the Buyer’s Group has a right to make a recovery or to claim an indemnity against any loss or damage arising out of the subject matter of the Claim under the terms of any insurance policy providing cover to a member of the Buyer’s Group, the Buyer shall, before seeking to make recovery in respect of any Claim against the Seller, procure that such member of the Buyer’s Group uses all reasonable endeavours to make such recovery or claim such indemnity (but without any obligation on the Buyer or the Buyer’s group to take out insurance cover in relation to the subject matter of the Claim) and the liability of the Seller for any Claim shall be reduced by the amount of any such recovery made or indemnification received (the resulting sum of liability being the “Net Liability Amount”). Nothing in the prior sentence of this paragraph shall prejudice insurers’ subrogation rights under any insurance policies that any of the Buyer or Buyer’s Group may enter into after signing this Agreement provided always that the aggregate liability of the Seller (to the Buyer and/or any other persons (including any such insurers), taken together) in connection with the circumstances giving rise to the Claim (including for the Claim itself) shall in no circumstances exceed the Net Liability Amount.

18	Excluded losses

No Seller Party shall be liable for loss of profits, loss of goodwill, loss of opportunity or any indirect or consequential losses.

19	Buyer’s knowledge

No Seller Party shall have any liability under or in connection with any Transaction Document in respect of any matter which was within the actual, imputed or constructive knowledge of the Buyer, its employees, agents or advisers at the date of this Agreement.

20	Limitations applying to Tax Warranties

The provisions of clauses 3 (Exclusions and Limitations) and 4 (Conduct of Claims) of the Tax Deed shall apply to extinguish, reduce or mitigate any Claim for breach of the Tax Warranties as if they were set out in full in this Agreement with appropriate changes.

Schedule 7

Buyer’s Warranties

(a)	The Buyer is a company duly incorporated and organised and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation.

(b)	The Buyer has the power and authority to enter into the Transaction Documents and to fully perform its obligations under them in accordance with their terms.

(c)	The Buyer does not require the consent, approval or authority of any other person to enter into or exercise its rights or perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

(d)

The entry into and the exercise by the Buyer of its rights and performance of its obligations under the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated by them will not constitute a breach or give rise to a default under any applicable laws or regulations or any order, decree or judgement or other obligation binding on it (including any provision of its constitutional documents), which has or could have a material adverse effect on its ability to execute or perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

(e)

The Buyer is not a party to any litigation, arbitration or administrative proceedings nor is it the subject of any governmental, regulatory or official investigation or enquiry which is in progress or threatened or pending and which has or could have a material adverse effect on its ability to execute or perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

(f)

No corporate action or other steps have been taken by the Buyer or legal proceedings started or threatened against it for its winding up or dissolution; or for it to enter into any arrangement or composition for the benefit of creditors; or for the appointment of a receiver, administrator, administrative receiver, liquidator, supervisor, compulsory manager, trustee or similar person of any of its revenues or assets.
