Subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement, the Sellers will sell or procure the sale of and the Buyer will buy, with effect from the Completion Date, the Shares set out opposite each Seller's name in column 2 of Schedule 2 with full title guarantee, free from all Security Interests and together with all rights that attach (or may in the future attach) to the Shares including, in particular, the right to receive all dividends and distributions declared, made or paid on or after the Completion Date.
    2. The Sellers waive any pre-emption rights they may have in relation to any of the Shares under the articles of association of the Company or otherwise and undertake to take all steps to ensure that any rights of pre-emption over any of the Shares are waived prior to Completion.

32276004

Buyer, nor create or dispose of or agree to create or dispose of any interest in them to or in favour of any other person.

    1. where such disposal is made in the acceptance of any offer made in accordance with the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers by any third party for the whole of the ordinary share capital of the Buyer (other than any ordinary share capital owned by the offeror or any concert party of the offeror);
    2. where such disposal is made in the execution of an irrevocable commitment to accept any offer made in accordance with the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers for the whole of the ordinary share capital of the Buyer (other than any ordinary share capital owned by the offeror or any concert party of the offeror);
    3. where such disposal is made pursuant to a compromise or arrangement between the Buyer and its members or any class of them which is agreed by the members and sanctioned by the Court (sections 895 - 901 CA 2006);
    4. where such disposal is made pursuant to an offer by the Buyer to purchase its own shares which is made on identical terms to all holders of Ordinary Shares and otherwise complies with the CA 2006 and the AQSE Rules; or
    5. where (whether inter vivos or by testamentary disposition or on intestacy) the disposal is made to a member of his family or to trustees of any trust, the principal beneficiaries of which are exclusively himself and/or members of his family; or
    6. the disposal is necessary to satisfy a claim for breach of Warranty or a claim for breach of the Tax Covenant (provided that such disposal is made on an orderly market basis by the Buyer's stockbrokers); or
    7. with the prior written consent of the Buyer.
  3. Disposals referred to in clause 8.3 may only be made after notification by the relevant Warrantor to the Buyer except in the case of clause 8.3.5, where the relevant Warrantor (or his estate) shall procure that the transferee of the shares shall agree with the Buyer (in terms reasonably acceptable to the Buyer) to be bound by the terms of clause 8.1 in respect of the residue of the period referred to in those clauses.
  4. The Sellers acknowledge that the Buyer has made no representation or given any warranty concerning the present or future value of the Consideration Shares.

32276004

  1. Fundamental Warranties
    Each Seller severally (but not jointly and severally) warrants to the Buyer that each Fundamental Warranty is true, accurate and not misleading on the date of this agreement and continues to be true, accurate and not misleading up to and including the Completion Date (and so that each Seller gives each Fundamental Warranty in respect of himself and his own Shares only).
  2. Warrantors' Warranties
    1. The Warrantors each severally and independently warrant to the Buyer that:
      1. except only as Fairly Disclosed, the Warranties are on the Execution Date true and accurate and not misleading; and
      2. except only as Fairly Disclosed, the Warranties will be true and accurate on the Completion Date by reference to the then existing circumstances.
    2. Subject to clause 10.3, the Warrantors will as soon as is reasonably practicable notify to the Buyer if, at any time before Completion, any of the Warrantors become aware of:
      1. any breach of any of the Warranties given at the Execution Date;
      2. an event having occurred or a matter having arisen in the light of which a statement in the Disclosure Letter or in this agreement (including in the Warranties) or a disclosure previously made pursuant to this clause 10 would be untrue or misleading if repeated with reference to the then existing circumstances.
    3. Any disclosure made after the Execution Date whether by means of the Supplemental Disclosure Letter or otherwise of matters existing prior to the Execution Date will not relieve the Warrantors from any liability in respect of a breach of the Warranties.
    4. Subject to clause 10.5, if, between the Execution Date and the Completion Date, the Buyer becomes aware that there has been a material breach of the Warranties or any other term of this agreement, the Buyer will be entitled to rescind this agreement without prejudice to any other remedy it may have.
    5. The Buyer may only exercise a right of rescission if any breach as referred to in clause 10.4 has not been remedied (at the sole cost of the Sellers and not at the cost of the Company) to the satisfaction of the Buyer (acting reasonably) following the Buyer affording the Sellers the opportunity to take any steps the Sellers' Representative may require (at the sole cost of the Sellers) to remedy such breach during the shorter of:
      1. a period of not less than 10 days; or
      2. the period from the date any breach referred to in clause 10.3 to the date two Business Days prior to the proposed date of Admission.
    6. The rights and remedies of the Buyer for any breach of any of the Warranties will not be affected by:
      1. Completion;
      2. any information of which the Buyer may have implied or constructive notice prior to the Execution Date, other than that contained in or pursuant to the Disclosure Letter;

DAL3227600424693896v1DAL

8

32276004

      1. the Buyer rescinding or failing to rescind this agreement or failing to exercise or delaying the exercise of any right or remedy; or
      2. any other event or matter whatsoever, except a specific and duly authorised written waiver or release.
    1. Each of the Warranties will be construed as a separate and independent warranty and, except where expressly provided to the contrary, will not be governed, limited or restricted by reference to or inference from any other terms of this agreement or any other Warranty.
    2. Where any Warranty refers to the awareness or the knowledge, information or belief of the Warrantors, that statement shall be deemed to refer to the actual awareness, knowledge, information or belief of such Warrantor after having made due and careful enquiry into the subject matter of that Warranty and of each other Warrantor, Mike Seabrook and Jaspreet Dhariwal.
    3. The Warrantors will submit the Supplemental Disclosure Letter to the Buyer at least five Business Days prior to the anticipated Completion Date and will consult with the Buyer as to its terms and contents so that the Buyer will have sufficient time in which to consider the proposed contents of the Supplemental Disclosure Letter.
    4. The Buyer may terminate this agreement with immediate effect if, in the reasonable opinion of the Buyer, the Supplemental Disclosure Letter reveals any matter which is likely to adversely and materially affect the Company or the value of the Shares to the Buyer and the terms of clause 3.5 shall apply.
    5. The Warrantors undertake with the Buyer that they will not make any claim for an indemnity or a contribution or otherwise against the Company or any director or employee of the Company (other than against another Warrantor), or the estate of any such director or employee, in connection with any liability which the Warrantors have or may have in respect of the Warranties or any other term of this agreement and/or the Tax Covenant.
  1. Indemnity
    Each Seller shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the Buyer and its Associates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, heirs and assigns (Indemnified Parties) from and against any loss, cost, or expense, including reasonable legal fees, damages, or penalties of any kind incurred by or imposed upon any of the Indemnified Parties in connection with any claim, demand, suit, action or judgment arising out of breach by that Seller of the Fundamental Warranties relating to that Seller.
  2. Limitations on liability
    1. The limitations on the liability of the Sellers (including for the avoidance of doubt the Warrantors) under clause 12 do not apply to:
      1. any Indemnity Claim (except that the cap on liability in clauses 12.4 and 12.5 will apply); and
      2. to one particular Warrantor where there is or has been fraud or wilful non-disclosure on that particular Warrantor's part.
    2. The limitations on the liability of the Warrantors under this clause 12 shall also apply to the liabilities of the Warrantors under the Tax Covenant.
    3. The Warrantors shall have no liability under this agreement or any document ancillary to it (including the Tax Covenant) or for any misrepresentation relating to the sale of Shares:

DAL3227600424693896v1DAL

9

32276004

    1. for any single Claim, unless their liability under that Claim exceeds £15,000 (fiftteen thousand pounds); or
    2. in respect of any Claim unless the aggregate amount of all Claims (ignoring Claims excluded by clause 12.3.1) exceeds £120,000 (one hundred and twenty thousand pounds) in which case they will be liable for the aggregate amount and not just the excess.
  1. Except as set out in clause 12.1.2, the total aggregate amount of the liability of each Seller in respect of all Claims, Indemnity Claims, claim for breach of the Fundamental Warranties, and claim under the Tax Covenant will be limited to an amount equal to the number of Consideration Shares which they receive (as set out against their name in column 3 of Schedule 2) multiplied by the issue price of 4p per Ordinary Share.
  2. Any liability of any Seller in respect of any Claim, Indemnity Claim, claim for breach of the Fundamental Warranties, or claim under the Tax Covenant may, subject to the remaining provisions of clauses 12.4 and 12.6, at the election of the relevant Seller, be satisfied either in whole or in part either:
    1. in cash; or
    2. by the Buyer cancelling or transferring (or procuring the cancellation, or transfer of) the equivalent value of the Consideration Shares (calculated by reference to the issue price of 4p per Ordinary Share) issued to such Seller pursuant to this agreement.
  3. If a Seller makes an election in accordance with clause 12.5.2:
