10.3	The sole remedy of the Seller for any breach of the Purchaser’s Warranties shall be an action for damages and the Seller shall not be entitled to rescind this Agreement.

10.4	Any payment by the Purchaser in respect of a breach by it of any of the Purchaser’s Warranties or the Purchaser Tax Warranties shall (and shall be deemed to) increase the consideration paid to the Seller for the Conditional Shares under this Agreement by a matching amount.

11	Purchaser Tax Warranties and Undertaking

11.1	The Purchaser warrants and represents to the Seller that as at the date of this Agreement and on each day up to and including Completion each of the Purchaser Tax Warranties is and shall be true and accurate.

11.2

The Purchaser undertakes to procure that no UK Group Member and no member of the Purchaser Group will enter into, for a period of three years after Completion, any transactions or arrangements which would have the result of permanently avoiding or achieving a material further deferral of the payment of all or a material part of the tax, in aggregate, that is reflected in the UK Group’s deferred tax provision as at Completion (a “Tax Avoidance Transaction”), PROVIDED THAT, for the avoidance of doubt, none of the following shall be regarded as a Tax Avoidance Transaction for the purposes of this Clause 11.2:

any transaction or arrangement entered into in the ordinary course of business of the UK Group as carried on by such companies prior to Completion; or

any transaction or arrangement entered into pursuant to a legally binding commitment created by the Seller or a UK Group Member prior to Completion; or

any transaction or arrangement entered into for the sole or main purpose of restructuring the UK Group’s arrangements with EWS in relation to the EWS Fleet (in each case as defined in Schedule 10 to this Agreement) in a manner contemplated by Paragraph 1 of Schedule 10 of this Agreement; or

(iv)

the incurring of expenditure on rolling stock or other plant and machinery for use in the UK Group’s business in the ordinary course of business as carried on by the UK Group at Completion (and, for the avoidance of doubt the amount of the expenditure shall not cause it to be regarded as being outside the ordinary course for these purposes); or

(v)

the refinancing (whether by way of increased third party debt or otherwise) of the external financing (including the Equity) of the UK Group and/or the Purchaser Group, provided that such refinancing does not form part of any arrangements which are Notifiable Arrangements.

11.3	The sole remedy for a breach of a Purchaser Tax Warranty or for the Purchaser’s failure to comply with the Purchaser Tax Undertaking (each being a “Tax Breach”) shall be an action for damages against the Purchaser and the Seller shall not be entitled to rescind this Agreement.

11.4	In the event of a Tax Breach the Purchaser shall be liable for damages equal to all Losses which are suffered or incurred by the Seller as a result to the Tax Breach, whether such Losses are or would be regarded reasonably foreseeable or not.

11.5

For the purpose of this Clause 11 “Losses” means all losses, liabilities, damages, costs, charges and/or expenses, including legal expenses, and Taxation and shall include, without limitation, any payment made by the Seller under the Tax Deed (including where a liability under the Tax Deed has been settled by way of the surrender of Group Tax Relief or is discharged in accordance with the Group Payment Arrangement in which case the payment shall be taken to be the tax value of the Group Tax Relief surrendered or the amount discharged as the case may be) provided that in calculating the quantum of any Losses arising by virtue of the settlement of any claim under the Tax Deed account should be taken of amounts which have already actually been paid by the Purchaser under the Schedule to the Tax Deed and the Purchaser’s obligation to pay future amounts under that Schedule.

11.6	The Seller shall have no right to set off or netting in respect of any payments due by it under the Tax Deed against any payments due from the Purchaser to the Seller in respect of a Tax Breach.

11.7

For the avoidance of doubt, references in the Purchaser Tax Warranties and the Purchaser Tax Undertaking to the “ordinary course of business” of the UK Group companies carried on prior to Completion shall not be regarded as including the transactions entered into pursuant to the UK Sale and Leaseback Documents.

12	RBS Scheme

12.1	The Seller and the Purchaser will take all necessary steps to ensure that ATL ceases to participate in the RBS Scheme at the Completion Date.

12.2	The Seller undertakes to the Purchaser to pay to the Purchaser on demand a sum equal to 72 per cent. of the Section 75 Debt.

12.3	For the avoidance of doubt, Clauses 24.3 and 25.3 shall apply to any amounts payable by the Seller under this Clause 12.

13	Taxation Arrangements

The provisions of Schedule 8, other than Clause 3.1 and 3.2 of that Schedule, and the Tax Deed shall apply in respect of the tax affairs of Group Members from Completion. Clause 3.1 and 3.2 of Schedule 8 shall apply from the date of this Agreement.

14	Limitations

14.1	The aggregate liability of the Seller for Seller Claims shall not exceed:

14.1.1

in respect of the Seller’s Warranty set out at paragraph 5.1 of Schedule 4 of this Agreement, the aggregate of the Completion Amount, the Zero Coupon Bond Amount, the Unconditional Consideration and, to the extent that such amounts have become payable prior to the resolution of the Seller Claim, the Deferred Amounts, the Competition Amount, the Additional EWS Consideration and the Additional Pendolinos Consideration; and

14.1.2

in respect of all other Seller Claims against the Seller and any claim under clauses 2.1.2 and 2.1.3 of the Tax Deed, £200,000,000 (two hundred million pounds),

save that any amount paid by the Seller in respect of the Seller Claims referred to in Clause 14.1.2 shall reduce the maximum amount that can be paid in respect of the Seller Claims referred to in Clause 14.1.1 by the amount so paid, and vice-versa.

14.2	The Purchaser agrees that no Seller Claim shall be brought and that the Seller shall not be liable for any Seller Claim brought after the second year anniversary of this Agreement.

14.3	None of the limitations contained in this Clause 14 shall apply to any Seller Claim which directly arises as a result of fraud by the Seller.

15	Non-Solicitation

The Seller’s Group shall not (whether alone, jointly with another, directly or indirectly), for 1 year after Completion, offer to employ or seek to entice away from any Group Member, or conclude any contract for services with, any person who was employed by any Group Member on the date of this Agreement. This undertaking is given to the Purchaser. The Seller acknowledges that it is an entirely independent restriction and is no greater than is reasonably necessary to protect the interests of the Purchaser’s Group. The placing of an advertisement of a post available to a member of the public generally and the recruitment or employment of a person through an employment agency shall not constitute a breach of this Clause 15 provided that no member of the Seller’s Group encourages or advises such agency to approach any person who was employed by any Group Member on the date of this Agreement.

16	Confidentiality and Announcements

16.1

Neither party shall, and the Purchaser shall procure that the Purchaser’s Group shall not, and the Seller shall procure that the Seller’s Group shall not, make or issue any announcement or circular in connection with the existence or the subject matter of any Transaction Document unless it is consistent with the Press Release or has the prior written approval of the other party. This shall not affect any announcement or circular required by law or any regulatory body or the rules of any recognised stock exchange on which the shares of a party or any member of either the Seller’s Group or the Purchaser’s Group are listed, but where there is an obligation to make an announcement or issue a circular, the relevant party (acting on its own account or on behalf of the Seller’s Group or the Purchaser’s Group, as the case may be) shall consult with the other party insofar as is reasonably practicable before complying with such an obligation.

16.2	Subject to Clauses 16.1, 16.4 and 16.5, each party shall, and the Purchaser shall procure that the Purchaser’s Group shall, and the Seller shall procure that the Seller’s Group shall, treat as strictly confidential and not disclose or use any information:

16.2.1

relating to the negotiations of, the existence of and the provisions of any Transaction Document; and

16.2.2

relating to the business, financial or other affairs (including, without limitation, future plans and targets) of the other party which it has received or obtained as a result of entering into or negotiating any Transaction Document.

16.3	The Seller agrees not to terminate, amend or waive any and all rights it, or any other member of the Seller’s Group, may have pursuant to any confidentiality or non-disclosure

agreement entered into with any other parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the consent of the Purchaser.

16.4	Clauses 16.1 and 16.2 shall not prohibit disclosure or use of any information if and to the extent:

16.4.1

the disclosure or use is required by law, any regulatory body or any recognised stock exchange on which the shares of a party or any member of either the Seller’s Group or the Purchaser’s Group are listed and the disclosure to any rating agency is required in accordance with this Clause 16.4.1;

16.4.2

the disclosure or use is required to vest the full benefit of any Transaction Document in a party;

16.4.3

the disclosure or use is required for the purpose of any judicial proceedings arising out of any Transaction Document or the disclosure is made to a Tax authority in connection with the Tax affairs of the disclosing party;

16.4.4

the disclosure or use is made in confidence to a third party transacting or proposing to transact with the Seller, the Seller’s Group, the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s Group, as the case may be, but only to the extent such information is reasonably relevant to such third party;

16.4.5

the disclosure is made to professional advisers of the disclosing party who are bound to the disclosing party by a duty of confidence which applies to any information so disclosed;

16.4.6

the information is or becomes publicly available (other than by breach of any Transaction Document);

16.4.7

in the case of Clause 16.2, the non-disclosing party has given prior written approval to the disclosure or use; or

16.4.8

the information is independently developed after Completion,

provided that prior to disclosure or use of any information pursuant to Clause 16.4.1 the disclosing party shall promptly notify the non-disclosing parties of such requirement with a view to providing the non-disclosing parties with the opportunity to contest such disclosure or use or otherwise to agree the timing and content of such disclosure or use.

16.5

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of confidentiality in this Agreement do not extend to the U.S. federal or state tax structure or the U.S. federal or state tax treatment of the Transaction. If any U.S. federal or state tax analyses or materials are provided to any party, such party is free to disclose any such analyses or materials without limitation.

17	Further Assurance

17.1	The Seller shall execute and deliver all such documents and take all such actions as the Purchaser may from time to time reasonably require in order to give effect to the provisions of any Transaction Document.

17.2	The Purchaser shall execute and deliver all such documents and take all such actions as the Seller may from time to time reasonably require in order to give effect to the provisions of any Transaction Document.

18	Continuing Obligations and Assignment

18.1	Subject to the provisions of Clauses 9, 10 and 16, each of the obligations, warranties and undertakings accepted or given by the Seller or the Purchaser or any of them under this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding Completion taking place.

18.2	No party may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under any Transaction Document, save that:

18.2.1

the Purchaser may assign (in whole or in part) the benefit of any Transaction Document to the Designated Purchaser pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Clause 18.3 below;

18.2.2

the Purchaser may assign (in whole or in part) the benefit of any Transaction Document to any other member of the Purchaser’s Group, provided that if such assignee ceases to be a member of the Purchaser’s Group, all benefits relating to such Transaction Document assigned to such assignee shall be deemed automatically by that fact to be re-assigned to the Purchaser immediately before such cessation; and

18.2.3

the Purchaser, any member of the Purchaser’s Group and/or the Designated Purchaser may charge and/or assign the rights and benefits provided to each of them under any Transaction Document to any bank or financial institution or other person by way of security for the purposes of or in connection with the financing or refinancing (whether in whole or in part):

any financial indebtedness of Willow Holdco 1 Limited and its subsidiaries or Willow Lux Holdco S.àr.l and its subsidiaries; or

by the Purchaser and/or the Designated Purchaser of:

the acquisition of the Conditional Shares and/or the ATI Shares; or

the refinancing of any RBS Debt; or

the Debt Repayment Amount,

provided that the Seller shall be under no greater obligation or liability thereby than if such assignment had never occurred and that the amount of loss or damage recoverable by the assignee shall be calculated as if that person had been originally named as the Purchaser in this Agreement (and, in particular, shall not exceed the sum which would, but for such assignment, have been recoverable hereunder by the Purchaser in respect of the relevant fact, matter or circumstance).

18.3	In respect of Disposals (as defined below):

18.3.1

The Seller acknowledges that, following or concurrently with Completion:

the Purchaser may procure the disposal of the EU Business (a “Disposal”) to the Designated Purchaser pursuant to the On-Sale Deed (a copy of which has been provided by the Purchaser to the Seller); and

subject always to the provisions of Clause 18.3.2 below, the parties intend that, commencing from the date of this Agreement, the Designated Purchaser will share the benefit (directly or indirectly) of the protections afforded to the Purchaser under the Transaction Documents in relation to the EU Business in accordance with the On Sale Deed.

18.3.2

The Seller and the Purchaser agree that:

(i)

in connection with a Disposal, the Purchaser may assign the whole or any part of the benefit of the Transaction Documents either entirely or jointly with itself to the Designated Purchaser and/or may provide “back-to-back” protection to the Designated Purchaser, and, without derogating from the generality of the above, the Seller specifically agrees that the assignment to the Designated Purchaser of the Purchaser’s rights under the Transaction Documents, includes, but is not limited to, the benefit of Clauses 6 (Pre-Completion), 7 (Leakage), 15 (Non-Solicitation), 16 (Confidentiality and Announcements), 17.1 (Further Assurance), 18 (Continuing Obligations and Assignment), 19.2 (Access), 24.9 (General Provisions), 25 (Grossing-up of Indemnity Payments, VAT) and Schedules 7 (Conduct of Business Before Completion) and 8 (Tax Arrangements) of this Agreement, the Management Warranty Deed and clause 5.5.4 of the Process Letter (to the extent they relate to the EU Business or the EU Group and subject to the limitations set out in the Transaction Documents) (the “Assigned Rights”);

(ii)

the Purchaser’s ability to demonstrate a loss to the Seller by virtue of any “back-to-back” claim from the Designated Purchaser will not be restricted solely by virtue of the fact that the Purchaser’s obligation to make actual payment to the Designated Purchaser in respect of such claim shall be delayed until such time as recovery is made from the Seller,

provided that (i) the Seller shall be under no greater obligation or liability thereby than if such assignment had never occurred, and (ii) the Purchaser shall not be able to make any claim against the Seller under the Transaction Documents in respect of the EU Group or the EU Business after such assignment (other than on behalf of the Designated Purchaser) nor the Designated Purchaser make any claim against the Seller under the Transaction Documents in respect of the non-EU Group or non-EU Business (other than on behalf of the Purchaser).

18.3.3

For the avoidance of doubt, any claim against the Seller by the Designated Purchaser (to whom the whole or any part of the benefit of the Transaction Documents has been assigned pursuant to Clause 18.3.1) shall be made in accordance with, and shall be subject to, the terms of the Transaction Documents (including, but not limited to, the limitations set out in Clause 14 (Limitations)) as if the claim had been made by the Purchaser and as if all references to the Purchaser in any relevant provisions of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents included a reference to the Designated Purchaser.

18.3.4

For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller agrees that the assignment of rights and benefits under the Transactions Documents to the Designated Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 18.3 shall be in full force and effect from the date of this Agreement and no further notification by the Purchaser or the Designated Purchaser shall be required for this purpose.

Access

19.1	The Purchaser shall procure that the Seller and its duly authorised agents are (on reasonable notice in writing to the Purchaser) afforded such reasonable access to the

books, accounts, personnel, correspondence and documentation of the Group Companies and such other reasonable assistance as the Seller may reasonably require to enable the Seller to exercise its rights and discharge its obligations under Schedule 8 of this Agreement or Clause 5 of the Tax Deed and to comply with its own tax and accounting obligations (or those of the members of the Seller’s Group) or facilitate the management or settlement of its own tax and accounting affairs (or those of the members of the Seller’s Group).

19.2

Subject to Clause 16 and the Anti-Trust Confidentiality Agreement, the Seller shall procure that pending Completion the members of the Clean Team as defined in Clause 4 of the Anti-Trust Confidentiality Agreement are (on reasonable notice in writing to the Seller) afforded such access as is reasonably requested to (i) the books and records of each Group Member (including all statutory books, minute books, leases, contracts, supplier lists and customer lists) provided that, save as otherwise agreed between the Seller and the Purchaser, such access shall occur at premises reasonably selected by the Seller and the taking of copies shall be prohibited, and (ii) the management of, each Group Member.

Costs

20.1	Except where any Transaction Document provides otherwise, each party shall pay its own costs and expenses in relation to the negotiation, preparation and implementation of any Transaction Document or otherwise incurred in relation to it with a view to the sale and purchase hereunder.

20.2	The Purchaser shall bear the cost of all stamp duty as a result of the transactions contemplated by any Transaction Document. The Purchaser shall be responsible for arranging the payment of such stamp duty.

Notices

Any notice or other communication to be given under any Transaction Document shall be in writing, shall be deemed to have been duly served on, given to or made in relation to a party if it is left at, posted by pre-paid airmail/first class/registered post addressed to, or sent by facsimile transmission to the address of that party set out in Schedule 6 or such other address as a party may notify to the other in writing from time to time, and shall if:

(i)

personally delivered, be deemed to have been received at the time of delivery;

(ii)

posted to an inland address in the United Kingdom, be deemed to have been received on the second Business Day after the date of posting and, if posted to an overseas address, be deemed to have been received on the fifth Business Day after the date of posting; or

(iii)

sent by facsimile transmission, be deemed to have been received upon receipt by the sender of a facsimile transmission report (or other appropriate evidence) that the facsimile has been transmitted to the addressee,

provided that where, in the case of delivery by hand or facsimile transmission, delivery or transmission occurs after 6 p.m. on a Business Day or on a day which is not a Business Day, receipt shall be deemed to occur at 9 a.m. on the next following Business Day.

22	Severability and Suspension of Restrictions

22.1	If any provision of any Transaction Document is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of such Transaction Document shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

22.2	Without prejudice to Clause 22.1, if the restriction in Clause 15 shall be held void or unenforceable but would be valid if deleted in part or reduced in its application, then that restriction shall apply with such modifications as may be necessary to make it valid and effective.

23	Entire Agreement and Variation

23.1

The Transaction Documents contain the entire agreement and understanding of the parties and supersede all prior agreements, understandings or arrangements between the parties (both oral and written) relating to the subject matter of the Transaction Documents, provided that any confidentiality agreements entered into between the Seller and the Purchaser, its investors and their financiers shall continue in force until Completion.

23.2	Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that:

23.2.1

it does not enter into the Transaction Documents on the basis of and does not rely, and has not relied, upon any statement or representation (whether negligent or innocent) or warranty or other provision (in any case whether oral, written, express or implied) made, given or agreed to by any person (whether a party to this Agreement or not) except those expressly set out or referred to in the Transaction Documents and that, for the avoidance of doubt, they do rely and have relied on the provisions of this Agreement in entering into the other Transaction Documents to which they are respectively a party;

23.2.2

the only remedy or remedies available in respect of any misrepresentation or untrue statement made to it in the Transaction Documents shall be a claim for breach of contract under the Transaction Documents;

23.2.3

any statutory or common law warranties, representations or conditions that are not expressly set out or referred to in the Transaction Documents and might otherwise be implied in respect of the sale and purchase of the Shares are hereby expressly excluded; and

23.2.4

this Clause 23.2 shall not apply to any statement, representation or warranty made fraudulently or to any provision of the Transaction Documents which was induced by, or otherwise entered into as a result of fraud, for which the remedies shall be all those available under the law governing this Agreement.

23.3	No variation, supplement, deletion or replacement of or from any Transaction Document or any of the terms of any Transaction Document shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by or on behalf of each party thereto.

24 General Provisions

24.1	Any waiver of a breach of any of the terms of any Transaction Document or of any default thereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default and shall in no way affect the other terms of such Transaction Document.

24.2

Subject to any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the parties acknowledge and agree that damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement and the remedies of injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief are appropriate for any threatened or actual breach of any such provision and no proof of special damages shall be necessary for the enforcement of the rights under this Agreement.

24.3

If any payment is made by the Seller to the Purchaser or by the Purchaser to the Seller in respect of any claim under this Agreement or under the Tax Deed, the payment shall be made by way of adjustment to the consideration paid by the Purchaser for the Conditional Shares under this Agreement and the consideration shall be deemed to have been reduced or increased (as applicable) by the amount of such payment.

24.4

Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Transaction Document or expressly agreed to by the parties in writing, no failure to exercise and no delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege of that party under any Transaction Document and no course of dealing between the parties shall be construed or operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

24.5	Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Transaction Document or expressly agreed to by the parties in writing, the rights and remedies provided by the Transaction Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

24.6	Any person who is not a party to this Agreement has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this Agreement, but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists or is available apart from that Act.

24.7	This Agreement may be entered into in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

24.8	Each of the parties confirms it has received independent legal advice relating to the matters provided for the Transaction Documents and agrees that the provisions of the Transaction Documents are fair and reasonable.

24.9	Any payment due to be made under this Agreement shall carry interest from the due date for payment until actual payment at a rate per annum of LIBOR plus two per cent.

25	Grossing-up of Indemnity Payments, VAT

25.1	Any payment made under this Agreement pursuant to an indemnity, compensation or reimbursement provision shall be made without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law.

25.2	If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by a payor, the amount of the payment due from that payor shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.

25.3

Where any payment is made under this Agreement pursuant to an indemnity, compensation or reimbursement provision (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Clause 7 or Clause 12) and that sum is subject to a charge to Tax in the hands of the recipient (other than Tax attributable to a payment being properly treated as an adjustment to the

Completion Amount), the sum payable shall be increased to such sum as will ensure that after payment of such Tax (and, other than in relation to a payment under Clause 12, after giving credit for any tax relief available to the recipient in respect of the matter giving rise to the payment) the recipient shall be left with a sum equal to the sum that it would have received in the absence of such a charge to Tax.

25.4

Where any sum constituting an indemnity, compensation or reimbursement to any party to this Agreement (the “Party”) is paid to a person other than the Party but is treated as taxable in the hands of the Party, the payer shall promptly pay to the Party such sum as shall reimburse the Party for all Tax suffered by it in respect of the payment (after giving credit for any tax relief available to the Party in respect of the matter giving rise to the payment).

25.5

Where under the terms of this Agreement one party is liable to indemnify or reimburse another party in respect of any costs, charges or expenses, the payment shall include an amount equal to any VAT thereon not otherwise recoverable by the other party, subject to that party using all reasonable endeavours to recover such amount of VAT as may be practicable.

25.6	If any payment under this Agreement constitutes the consideration for a taxable supply for VAT purposes, then in addition to that payment the payer shall pay any VAT due.

26	Governing Law and Jurisdiction

26.1	This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and take effect in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.

26.2

The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any claim, dispute or matter of difference which may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation, claims for set off or counterclaim) or the legal relationships established by this Agreement.

26.3

The Purchaser hereby irrevocably appoints Law Debenture of Fifth Floor 100 Wood Street, London EC2V 7EX as its agent to accept service of process in England in any legal action or proceedings arising out of this Agreement, service upon whom shall be deemed completed whether or not forwarded to or received by the Purchaser.

26.4	The Purchaser agrees to inform the Seller in writing of any change of address of such process agent within 28 days of such change.

26.5

If such process agent ceases to be able to act as such or to have an address in England, the Purchaser irrevocably agrees to appoint a new process agent in England acceptable to the Seller and to deliver to the Seller within 14 days a copy of a written acceptance of appointment by the process agent.

26.6	Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

2.12	The Seller shall, or shall procure that the relevant member of the Seller's Group shall, pay for the losses surrendered under paragraph 2.8 at the rate of corporation tax applicable for the accounting period in which the surrendered losses arose.

2.13	The Purchaser shall, or shall procure that the relevant member of the Group shall, pay for the losses surrendered under paragraph 2.9 an amount equal to the amount of corporation

tax saved by the relevant member of the Group as a result of the surrender (and in determining the amount of the corporation tax saved it shall be assumed that the Group has used all available Reliefs in priority to the losses surrendered under paragraph 2.9). The Seller and the Purchaser shall consider in good faith the most appropriate way in which to make such payments at the time of making such payments.

2.14	No payment shall be made for any surrender of losses pursuant to paragraph 2.10 above.

2.15

Each Group Member authorises Iain Crawford, Jonathan Butterworth and such other employees as the Seller shall notify the Purchaser to allocate its tax losses by way of Group Tax Relief in accordance with paragraph 2.8, 2.9 or 2.10 to the Seller or members of the Seller's Group and sign such claims and surrenders as are necessary in accordance with normal procedures agreed between the Seller and HMRC relating to such Group Member and Group Tax Relief and it is intended that such authorised persons shall be taken to have implied authority in respect of such matters for the purpose of Section 108 of the Taxes Management Act 1970.

2.16

If any surrender of Group Tax Relief has been made by any Group Member to any member of the Seller’s Group and a payment has been made by a member of the Seller’s Group in respect of that Group Tax Relief (whether pursuant to paragraph 2.12 or otherwise) and the surrender to which the payment relates is subsequently determined to be unavailable or is otherwise invalid or ineffective to any extent, then the payment so made (or so much of it as relates to such part of the surrender found to be unavailable, invalid or ineffective) shall be refunded as soon as practicable thereafter, provided that no refund shall be required to be made under this paragraph 2.16 to the extent that (i) the payment for the Group Tax Relief was taken into account in preparing the Accounts and (ii) such refund would leave the Purchaser’s Group or a Group Member in a worse position than it would have been in had the relevant surrender been permitted in full.

2.17

If any surrender of Group Tax Relief has been made by any member of the Seller’s Group to any Group Member and a payment has been made by a Group Member in respect of that Group Tax Relief (whether pursuant to paragraph 2.13 or otherwise) and the surrender to which the payment relates is subsequently determined to be unavailable or is otherwise invalid or ineffective to any extent, then the payment so made (or so much of it as relates to such part of the surrender found to be unavailable, invalid or ineffective) shall be refunded as soon as practicable thereafter.

2.18

The Purchaser shall procure that no voluntary action is taken by any Group Member or any other member of the Purchaser’s Group after Completion (whether by disclaiming any Relief, withdrawing or revoking any claim or consent or otherwise) which would or is likely either to prejudice or reduce the availability of any Group Tax Relief surrendered or to be surrendered to any member of the Seller’s Group pursuant to paragraph 2.9.

2.19

If the Seller so requests, and the Purchaser, having considered such request in good faith, agrees, the Purchaser shall take all reasonable steps to procure that, to the extent permissible by law, any Group Member to which a gain, loss or part thereof accrues as a result of the Group Member ceasing to be a member of the Seller’s Chargeable Gains or Intangibles group enters into a Degrouping Election with a member of the Seller’s Group within the applicable statutory time limit. The Purchaser shall procure that the Group Member concerned pays to the relevant member of the Seller’s Group a sum equal to the amount of Degrouping Taxation from which the Group Member concerned has been

relieved by virtue of the Degrouping Election or such other amount as is agreed between the Seller and the Purchaser.

2.20

If Taxation is imposed on any Transaction to which any member of the Seller’s Group and any Group Member are party on any basis other than by reference to the actual economic terms of the Transaction such that one party (the “Advantaged Person”) suffers a liability to Taxation which is greater than they would otherwise have suffered had the Taxation been calculated by reference to the actual economic terms of the Transaction:

2.20.1

the parties shall (and shall procure that the relevant members of the Seller’s Group, the Purchaser’s Group or the Group Companies shall) cooperate and make all such claims and elections as may be necessary to ensure that, to the extent possible, the party who does not suffer the increased liability to Taxation (the “Disadvantaged Person”) is able to claim corresponding adjustments in respect of the increased Taxation suffered by the Advantaged Person; and

2.20.2

the Disadvantaged Person shall make balancing payments to the Advantaged Person equal to the amount of additional Taxation actually saved by the Disadvantaged Person as a result of the corresponding adjustments, or shall surrender to the Advantaged Person losses of the same amount as the corresponding adjustments,

and the Purchaser shall procure that where a Group Member is the Disadvantaged Person and a member of the Seller’s Group is the Advantaged Person, any payment made pursuant to this paragraph 2.20 does not constitute unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of Section 151 of the Companies Act 1985 but if this is not possible the Purchaser shall instead make a payment of the same amount to the Seller by way of additional consideration for the shares.

2.21

The due date for payment under paragraph 2.20 shall be the later of (i) the date falling five (5) Business Days before the latest date on which that additional Taxation may be paid to the relevant Taxation authority without a liability to interest or penalties accruing, and (ii) the date falling five (5) Business Days after service by the Advantaged Person of a notice containing a written demand in respect of the matter for which the Disadvantaged Person is liable.

3 Value Added Tax

3.1

As soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, the Seller shall procure that (if one has not already been made) an application shall be made to HMRC pursuant to Section 43B of the VATA 1994 for the exclusion of each Group Member from the bodies treated as members of the same VAT Group as the Seller for the purposes of Section 43 of the VATA 1994 (the “Seller VAT Group”) and for such exclusion to take effect on Completion or, if HMRC do not permit this, at the earliest date following Completion permitted by Section 43B.

3.2

Pending the taking effect of such application and for so long thereafter as may be necessary, each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall procure that such information is provided to the other as may be required to enable the continuing representative member of the Seller VAT Group to make all the returns required of it in respect of the Seller VAT Group.

3.3	When the exclusion takes effect after Completion, the Seller and the Purchaser shall procure that such payments shall be made between such representative member and the

Group Companies as may be appropriate to ensure that the resulting position of each of the companies concerned is as close as possible to the position which would have obtained if such application or applications had taken effect on the date of Completion.

3.4

If for any prescribed accounting period for VAT purposes during which a Group Member is a member of the Seller VAT Group there is an excess of allowable input tax over output tax (as those terms are defined in Section 24 VATA 1994) in respect of supplies (including self supplies) made or deemed to have been made by or to or importations or acquisitions made by such Group Member up to and including Completion, then to the extent such excess was treated as an asset in the Accounts or arises after the Locked Box Date, the Seller shall to the extent not previously paid pay or procure the payment to the Group Member concerned of such excess no later than twenty (20) Business Days after the last day of such accounting period.

3.5

If for any prescribed accounting period for VAT purposes during which a Group Member is a member of the Seller VAT Group there is an excess of output tax over allowable input tax (as those terms are defined in Section 24 VATA 1994) in respect of supplies (including self supplies) made or deemed to have been made by or to or importations or acquisitions made by such Group Member up to and including Completion, then to the extent provision or reserve was made in respect of such excess in the Accounts or arises after the Locked Box Date, the Purchaser shall to the extent not previously paid pay or procure the payment by the Group Member concerned to the Seller of such excess no later than twenty (20) Business Days after the last day of such accounting period.

3.6	The deeming provisions of Section 43(1) VATA 1994 shall be disregarded in determining for the purposes of this paragraph 3 what supplies or acquisitions or importations have been made or are deemed to have been made by or to any person.

3.7	The parties to this Agreement undertake that they will on request promptly supply or procure that there is supplied to the other parties all information, particulars and access to and copies of records reasonably relevant to any liability of the parties under this paragraph 3.

4 Group Payment Arrangement

4.1

The Purchaser shall procure that each Group Company that is a member of the Group Payment Arrangement contributes to the relevant member of the Seller’s Group (the “Nominated Company”) within ten (10) Business Days of written demand therefor an amount equal to any instalment(s) of corporation tax which is to be or has been discharged by the Nominated Company on behalf of the relevant Group Company pursuant to the Group Payment Arrangement (other than to the extent that such contribution was made prior to or on Completion).

4.2

The Seller shall procure that the Nominated Company shall pay to HMRC promptly following receipt thereof (or, if later, when the relevant amount is due and payable to HMRC) an amount equal to any amount contributed to the Nominated Company by a Group Member pursuant to the Group Payment Arrangement (a “Contributed Amount”) and shall procure that the Nominated Company shall promptly apportion to the relevant Group Member each Contributed Amount, such apportionment to be made by reference to the instalment(s) of corporation tax in respect of which the Contributed Amount was paid.

4.3	The Seller shall not, without the Purchaser’s written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), reapportion any amount previously apportioned to a Group Company pursuant

to the Group Payment Arrangement and shall pay, or procure that there is paid, to the relevant Group Company an amount equal to any excess of any amount contributed to the Nominated Company by any Group Company in respect of any instalment(s) of corporation tax over the amount of tax finally apportioned to the Group Company in respect of that instalment(s) (together with interest at 2 per cent above LIBOR from the date of contribution).

5 Secondary Liabilities

5.1

To the extent that the Purchaser, a member of the Purchaser’s Group or a Group Member incurs a liability for Taxation (under Section 767A or 767AA Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 (“ICTA”) or otherwise) which is attributable to Taxation which is primarily chargeable on the Seller’s Group, the Seller will indemnify the Purchaser (for itself and as trustee for the relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group or Group Member) in respect of that liability.

5.2

To the extent that a member of the Seller’s Group incurs a liability for Taxation (under Section 767A or 767AA ICTA or otherwise) which is attributable to Taxation which is primarily chargeable on the Purchaser or a Group Member, the Purchaser will indemnify the member of the Seller’s Group in respect of that liability, except where such Taxation is subject to a valid claim by the Purchaser under the Tax Deed which has not been satisfied.

6.2

Notwithstanding Clause 6.1 above, the Purchaser may terminate the arrangements entered into pursuant to the UK Sale and Leaseback Transactions provided that such act (a) takes place after the expiry of the 12 month starting on the Completion Date, or (b) is a reasonable and proportionate act to mitigate the effects of a change of law (including a change of Tax law) or of other external circumstance having a material adverse effect on the financial condition, assets, prospects or business of the Group.

6.3	The Purchaser shall procure that the accounting reference dates for the United Kingdom registered entities within the Group are not changed for the period ending 31 March 2008.
