(A)

if there is no Relevant Claim outstanding, the Claims Amount shall be released to the Sellers; or

- 18 -

(B)

if any Relevant Claim remains outstanding, there shall be retained from the Claims Amount in the Escrow Account an amount either agreed by the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative or, if the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative do not agree, an amount equal to the amount (if any) which Legal Counsel opines pursuant to a Counsel’s Opinion (as defined below) is reasonably likely to be recoverable by the Buyer under such Claim (plus Legal Counsel’s estimate of the anticipated costs of recovery) and the balance of the Claims Amount (if any) shall be released to the Sellers. If there is a Relevant Claim outstanding at the Expiry Date in respect of which Counsel’s Opinion has not been obtained prior to the Expiry Date, then the Purchaser’s reasonable estimate of the amount of the Relevant Claim shall be retained until Counsel’s Opinion has been obtained and once Counsel’s Opinion has been obtained, his estimation of the quantum of the Relevant Claim shall be retained in the Escrow Account and the balance shall be paid to the Sellers.

10.3

If it is finally decided, whether before, on or after the Expiry Date, that a Seller or a seller under the SGS Agreement or under each OH Agreement is liable in whole or in part in respect of a Relevant Claim, the Parties shall procure the release to the Buyer from the Claims Amount within the Escrow Account of the amount due to the Buyer or its Affiliates under the Relevant Claim (to the extent sufficient) by way of satisfaction pro tanto (or to the extent sufficient) of the liability of that Seller under the Relevant Claim.

10.4

If a Relevant Claim remains outstanding as at the Expiry Date, if at any time after the Expiry Date it shall be finally decided that the Sellers are not liable in whole or in part in respect of a Relevant Claim or if a Relevant Claim shall have been withdrawn, then to the extent that the Sellers are not so liable or that the claim has been withdrawn, the Parties shall procure the release to the Sellers of the relevant Claims Amount retained in the Escrow Account in respect of that Relevant Claim.

10.5

Any payment to the Sellers pursuant to this clause 10 shall be paid in the proportions set out in column 8 of Parts 1 and 2 of Schedule 1, with 1.943 per cent being paid to SGS in accordance with the SGS Agreement and 10.656 per cent being paid to the Option Holders in accordance with the provisions of the OH Agreement.

the relevant Seller and the Buyer shall so agree in writing.

10.7

If there is a Relevant Claim outstanding as at the Expiry Date, Legal Counsel shall be appointed by the Buyer (with the consent of the Sellers’ Representative in relation to the identity of that Legal Counsel, such consent not unreasonably to be withheld or delayed) upon at least ten Business Days’ notice in writing being given to the Sellers’ Representative by the Buyer. To the extent that the Parties cannot agree on a choice of Legal Counsel, within 10 Business Days of the Buyer’s receipt of such notice, the Sellers’ Representative may request that the Legal Counsel is appointed by the President of the Bar Council of England and Wales.

In the event that it is finally determined that the Tax treatment in respect of the multi-employer pension scheme contributions is, in part but not in whole, in accordance with the analysis set out in the KPMG Letter so that only some (and not all) of the relevant contributions are deductible for UK tax purposes (or would have been had the relevant Target Company had sufficient profits) (the “Deductible Contributions”), then five Business Days after such final determination, 87.40 per cent of the proportion of the Tax Escrow Amount calculated by multiplying the Tax Escrow Amount by A/B (where A is the amount of the Deductible Contributions and B is the total amount of contributions described in the KPMG Letter) shall be released to the Sellers and 87.40 per cent of the remainder shall be released to the Buyer.

11.3

In the event that it is finally determined that the Tax treatment in respect of the multi-employer pension scheme contributions is not in accordance with the analysis set out in the KPMG letter, and clause 11.2 does not apply, then five Business Days after such final determination the Tax Escrow Amount shall be released to the Buyer.

11.4	For the purposes of this clause 11, the relevant Tax treatment shall be deemed to be finally determined on the earliest of the following events:

(A)

the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer agree, acting reasonably, that:

HMRC is in agreement with the analysis of the multi-employer pension scheme contributions set out in the KPMG Letter so that clause 11.1 applies; or

clauses 11.2 or 11.3 apply (subject to either party appealing or disputing such decision where, in the case of an appeal by the Sellers’ Representative, clause 11.5 shall apply); or

(B)

in respect of the KPMG Letter, an agreement under section 54 of the Taxes Management Act 1970 or any legislative provisions corresponding to that section is made; or

(C)

a decision of a court or tribunal is given in respect of the KPMG Letter of the analysis of the multi-employer pension scheme contributions from which either no appeal lies or in respect of which no appeal is made within the prescribed time limit.

11.5	The conduct provisions set out in paragraph 6 of Schedule 4 to this Agreement shall apply to both:

(A)

(B)

the resolution of any dispute or differences between the Sellers and the Buyer arising out of or in connection with this clause 11 shall be resolved in accordance with the provisions of sub-paragraph 6.5 of Schedule 4.

any tax liability of the Company arising by reason of the failure of any other person fully to pay and discharge when due (even if after Completion) any liability to taxation on its part where the Company is so liable by reason of having been, for tax purposes at any time before Completion, a member of the same group or consortium or otherwise connected or associated with, or a settlor or beneficiary in relation to, such person;

(C)

is at Completion a charge on any of the shares or assets of the Company or which gives rise to a power to sell, mortgage or charge any of the shares or assets of the Company,

and which after Completion becomes a charge on or gives rise to a power to sell, mortgage or charge any of the shares or assets of the Company being a liability in respect of inheritance tax payable on or by reason of the death of any person after a transfer of value occurring prior to Completion; and

(D)

all reasonable costs, expenses and other liabilities properly incurred by any of the Buyer or the Company in making any successful claim under this Schedule or in successfully taking or defending any action in accordance with this Schedule to the extent such costs, expenses and liabilities have not already been reimbursed or recovered elsewhere in this Schedule.

(J)

such liability arises as a consequence of a breach by the Buyer of any of its obligations under paragraphs 6 and/or 10 of this Schedule save to the extent such breach would not have arisen but for a prior breach by the Sellers of the corresponding obligations under these provisions;

- 69 -

(K)

such liability arises by virtue of the average rate of tax of the Company increasing as a consequence of the Buyer acquiring the Shares;

4.	Over-Provisions and Reliefs

4.1

If the auditors from time to time of the Company shall report (at the request and expense of the Sellers) that any provision for tax in the Net Debt Statement or the Net Working Capital Statement (excluding any provision for deferred tax) has proved to be an over-provision, then the amount of such over-provision shall be dealt with in accordance with paragraph 4.3.

4.2

If the auditors from time to time of the Company shall report (at the request and expense of the Sellers) that any tax liability which has resulted in a payment having been made or becoming due from any Seller under this Schedule will give rise to a Relief for the Company which would not otherwise have arisen, then, as and when the liability of the Company to make an actual payment of or in respect of tax is reduced by reason of that Relief (and the Buyer shall procure that the Company shall use reasonable endeavours to prioritise the use of that Relief before using any other Relief, save to the extent the use of that Relief would prejudice the availability of any Relief referred to in paragraph 1.3) the amount by which that liability is so reduced shall be dealt with in accordance with paragraph 4.3.

4.3	Where it is provided under paragraphs 4.1 or 4.2 that any amount (the “Relevant Amount”) is to be dealt with in accordance with this paragraph 4.3:

(A)

the Relevant Amount shall first be set off against any payment then due from the Seller(s) under this Schedule or under the Tax Warranties;

(B)

to the extent there is an excess, a refund shall be made to the Seller(s) in question of any previous payment or payments made by such Seller(s) under this Schedule or under the Tax Warranties and not previously refunded under this paragraph, up to the amount of such excess; and

(C)

to the extent that the excess referred to in paragraph 4.3(B) is not exhausted under that paragraph, the remainder of that excess shall be carried forward and set off against any future payment or payments which become due from any Seller under this Schedule or under the Tax Warranties.

- 70 -

4.4

Where any such report as is mentioned in paragraphs 4.1 or 4.2 has been made, the Sellers’ Representative or the Buyer or the Company may request the auditors from time to time of the Company (at their own expense) to review such report in the light of all relevant circumstances, including any facts which have become known only since such report, and to report whether such report remains correct or whether, in the light of those circumstances, the amount that was the subject of such report should be adjusted.

4.5

If the auditors report under paragraph 4.4 that an amount previously reported upon should be adjusted, that adjusted amount shall be substituted for the purposes of paragraph 4.3 as the Relevant Amount in respect of the report in question in place of the amount originally reported on, and such adjusting payment (if any) as may be required by virtue of the above-mentioned substitution shall be made as soon as practicable by or, as the case may be, to the Seller(s).

5.	Recovery from other Persons

5.1

If after any Seller has irrevocably and unconditionally satisfied in full any liability under paragraph 2.1 the Company is entitled to recover from some other person (not being a member of the Buyer’s Group but including any Tax Authority) any sum in respect of any tax liability that has resulted in a liability of a Seller under paragraph 2 or under the Tax Warranties, or subsequently becomes entitled to make such a recovery, then the Company shall (in either of those cases) as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming aware of such entitlement notify the Seller(s) in question of its entitlement and shall, if reasonably and promptly so required by the such Seller(s) in writing, and subject first to being fully indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by such Seller(s) in respect of all Losses it may thereby incur, take all reasonable steps to enforce that recovery (keeping such Seller(s) informed of the progress of any action taken) and shall account to such Seller(s) for whichever is the lesser of:

(A)

any sum so recovered (including any interest or repayment supplement paid by a Tax Authority relating to the period after receipt of the relative payment from such Seller(s)) less any tax chargeable on the Company in respect of the sum so recovered; and

(B)

the amount paid or due by such Seller(s) pursuant to paragraph 2 in respect of the tax liability in question.

5.2	Paragraph 5.1 shall not apply to any recovery or repayment of any tax liability giving rise to a payment by any Seller under paragraph 2 where such repayment or recovery arises by virtue of any such Relief or event as is referred to in paragraph 1.3(C).

6.	Claims Procedure

6.1

If the Buyer becomes aware of any Tax Claim which may give rise to a claim under paragraph 2.1 of this schedule or the Tax Warranties (save to the extent that any Seller is already actually aware of such Tax Claim), the Buyer shall give or procure that notice of the Tax Claim concerned (together with reasonable detail of the nature of such Tax Claim and an

- 71 -

estimate of any liability if available) is given to the Sellers’ Representative in accordance with clause 16 of this Agreement as soon as is reasonably practicable and in the case of a Tax Claim that requires action to be taken within a specific period, not later than 10 Business Days before that period ends (but notice is not a condition precedent to the liability of the Sellers under this Schedule) and the Sellers shall be entitled, subject to the following provisions of this paragraph 6, to require the Company to take such action as the Sellers’ Representative may reasonably request in writing to resist, avoid, dispute, appeal against, compromise or defend the Tax Claim concerned.

6.2	The Buyer and the Company will, insofar as they are able, give the Sellers’ Representative all reasonable co-operation, access and assistance (technical or otherwise) for the purpose of resisting such a claim as is referred to in paragraph 6.1 PROVIDED THAT:

(A)

in the case where the Sellers wish to resist the claim, the Sellers shall not be entitled to make or request any action which involves an appeal before any court unless the Sellers’ Representative has been advised by tax counsel who shall previously have been approved by the Buyer and Sellers (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of at least 10 years’ experience in the relevant tax matter, after disclosure to him of all relevant information and documents, that it is reasonable to resist the claim for tax in the manner proposed by the Sellers’ Representative;

(B)

in connection with the conduct of any dispute:

(1)

the Company and the Buyer shall be kept fully and promptly informed of all matters relating to the dispute and shall on request be entitled to see copies of all correspondence and related documentation; and

(2)

the Sellers shall not settle or compromise any claim the subject of a dispute nor agree any matter in the conduct of the dispute which would materially adversely affect:

(a)

the amount of the claim which is the subject of the dispute; or

(b)

any other tax liability of the Company or the Buyer which is not a tax liability or other liability within the covenant in paragraph 2 above without the prior approval in writing of the Buyer (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(C)

the Sellers shall not be entitled to take or request any action under the foregoing provisions of this paragraph unless the Sellers have first indemnified each of the Buyer and the Company to its reasonable satisfaction against all Losses which may thereby be reasonably and properly incurred; and

(D)

nothing in this paragraph 6 shall entitle the Sellers to communicate with any Tax Authority (whether written and otherwise) in the name of the Buyer or Company or directly with any Tax Authority in respect of any Tax Claim.

6.3

If the Sellers’ Representative fails within 10 Business Days of being given notice under paragraph 6.1 to request the Buyer or the Company to notify the Buyer that it intends to take any action aforesaid in connection with the claim concerned and/or comply with paragraph 6.2(C) within a reasonable period of time not exceeding 20 Business Days then each of the Buyer and/or the Company shall (without prejudice to its rights under this Schedule or this Agreement) be free to pay or settle such claim or take such other action in connection with the same as it may in its discretion, acting in good faith, decide.

- 72 -

6.4

If in any respect with regard to a claim for tax which the Sellers seek to dispute or resist as provided in this Schedule a Tax Authority alleges and substantiates in writing that any Seller or the Company whilst it was under the control of the Sellers has committed any act or omission which constitutes fraud, wilful default or wilful concealment then paragraph 6.1 shall not take effect and the Buyer or the Company shall (without prejudice to its rights under this Schedule or this Agreement) be free to pay or settle such claim or take such other action in connection with the same as it may in its absolute discretion decide.

6.5

The Buyer and the Sellers shall use all reasonable endeavours to resolve all disputes and differences between them arising out of or in connection with this paragraph. If, after the Buyer and Sellers have discharged their respective obligations under this paragraph 6.5, the dispute or difference remains unsolved, such dispute or difference shall be referred to a panel consisting of a chartered accountant and a solicitor to be agreed between the parties or failing agreement within 10 Business Days to be nominated by the President for the time being of the Chartered Institute of Taxation. If the panel has been appointed but is unable or unwilling to complete the reference, another panel shall be appointed by agreement between the parties or, failing agreement, within 14 days of the parties being notified that the panel is unable or unwilling to complete the reference, by the President on the application of either party. Each party shall bear its own costs and the reasonable costs of the panel shall be borne as directed by the panel.

7.	Due Date of Payment

7.1	Where any Seller becomes liable to make any payment pursuant to paragraph 2 the Due Date for the making of that payment shall be the date of written demand by the Buyer or (if later):

(A)

subject as provided by paragraph 7.1(C), in a case that involves an actual payment of tax by the Company (or would have done but for the use of any Relief or right of repayment as referred to in paragraph 1.3(C)) seven days prior to the date that is the last date on which the Company or Buyer would have had to have paid to the appropriate Tax Authority the tax that has given rise to the Sellers’ liability under this Schedule in order to avoid incurring a liability to interest or a charge or penalty in respect of that tax liability;

(B)

in a case falling within paragraph 1.3(A) or (B), the date on which any tax liability would have fallen due but for any available Reliefs, rights of repayment or claims of a similar nature;

(C)

in a case falling within paragraph 1.3(C), the date on which the Company becomes due to pay any tax which it would not, but for such setting off, have had to pay; or

(D)

in a case falling within paragraph 2.1(C) a liability to inheritance tax or a charge on or power to sell, mortgage or charge any of the shares or assets of the Company shall be treated as becoming due, and a charge or power to sell, mortgage or charge as arising, on the date of the transfer of value or other date or event on or in respect of which it becomes payable or arises and the provisions of section 213 of the Inheritance Tax Act 1984 shall not apply.

- 73 -

8.	Buyer’s Covenant

8.1

The Buyer covenants with the Sellers that it will pay to any relevant Seller an amount equal to any tax liability or any amount on account of tax which any Seller is required to pay as a result of a failure after Completion by the Buyer or the Company, or any person who is an Affiliate of the Buyer or the Company after Completion, to discharge that tax.

8.2	The covenant contained in paragraph 8.1 shall:

(A)

extend to any reasonable costs, fees, expenses incurred in connection with the payment of such tax or the making of a successful claim under paragraph 8.1;

(B)

not apply to tax to the extent that the Buyer could claim payment in respect of it under paragraph 2 of this Schedule, except to the extent a payment has been made pursuant to paragraph 2 and the tax to which it relates was not paid by the relevant Company; and

(C)

not apply to tax to the extent it has been recovered under any relevant statutory provision (and the relevant Seller or Sellers shall procure that no such recovery is sought to the extent that payment is made hereunder).

8.3	The Buyer shall not be liable in respect of any claim under paragraph 8.1 unless written notice of that claim has been made prior to the seventh anniversary of the Completion Date.

9.	No Deductions or Withholding

9.1

All sums payable under this Schedule or any other provision of this Agreement shall be paid free and clear of all deductions or withholdings whatsoever, save only as may be required by Law. If any such deductions or withholdings are required by Law, the party in question shall be obliged to pay such sum as will after such deduction or withholding has been made leave the recipient with the same amount as it would have been entitled to receive in the absence of any such requirement to make a deduction or withholding.

9.2

If any sum payable by any Seller under paragraph 2 of this Schedule or clause 6 of this Agreement or by the Buyer under paragraph 8.1 of this Schedule shall be subject to tax in the hands of the recipient, the same obligation to make an increased payment shall apply in relation to such tax liability as if it were a deduction or withholding required by Law provided that this paragraph 9.2 shall not require an increased payment by any Seller if the tax would not have arisen but for the Buyer exercising its option under paragraph 2.1.

10.	Tax Returns

10.1

The Sellers shall at their own expense and in accordance with this paragraph 10, prepare all documentation and deal with all matters (including correspondence) relating to the tax returns and affairs of the Target Group and each Target Company for all accounting and fiscal periods ending on or prior to Completion (“Relevant Accounting Periods”) to the extent that the same have not been prepared and agreed with HMRC or other Tax Authority prior to Completion.

10.2	Insofar as within its power, the Buyer shall procure that each Target Company shall following Completion:

(A)

afford the Sellers and their duly authorised agents access to its books, accounts and records and personnel and such other assistance as may from time to time be reasonably required to prepare and submit the said returns as contemplated by this paragraph 10; and

(B)

complete and execute such documentation and render such assistance to the Sellers and their duly authorised agents as may from time to time be reasonably required in connection with or for the purposes of this paragraph 10.

- 74 -

10.3	The Sellers’ Representatives shall:

(A)

procure that the Sellers and the Sellers’ agents shall keep the Buyer fully and promptly informed of all matters arising out of their dealings with the tax returns and affairs of the Target Group and each Target Company under this paragraph 10 and in any event they shall provide for approval by the Buyer (or its agents) prior to submission to any Tax Authority, drafts of correspondence with any Tax Authority (including tax computations) in relation to the Target Group and each Target Company for all of the Relevant Accounting Periods, and shall promptly provide the Buyer with any correspondence received from any Tax Authority and any other written information relevant to the tax affairs of the Target Group and each Target Company for the periods in question, including (if appropriate) advice from professional advisers, and notes of meetings or discussions with the Tax Authority in question; and

(B)

procure that no agreement, settlement or compromise of any tax returns or affairs of the Target Group or any Target Company in respect of any Relevant Accounting Periods or otherwise is agreed with the relevant Tax Authority without the prior written consent of the Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

10.4

In relation to the tax returns and affairs of the Target Group and each Target Company for the relevant accounting and fiscal periods beginning before Completion and ending after Completion (“Straddle Accounting Periods”), the provisions of paragraphs 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 above shall apply as if references to the Buyer were to the Sellers (and vice-versa) and references to the Relevant Accounting Periods were references to the Straddle Accounting Periods, provided that the Buyer shall not be required to seek approval from the Sellers’ Representative or take account of any comments on any tax returns or other documentation unless the matter relates to any period prior to Completion and could give rise to (or increase) any liability for which the Sellers are liable pursuant to paragraph 2.1 of this Schedule, the Tax Warranties or any other warranty or indemnity contained in this Agreement that relates to tax.

10.5	Nothing done pursuant to and in accordance with this paragraph 10 by any Target Company or the Buyer shall in any way restrict or reduce any rights any of them may have under the Warranties and/or otherwise under this Agreement.

If there is any conflict between the provisions of this paragraph 10 and paragraph 6, the provisions of paragraph 6 shall prevail.

7.	Conduct of Claim

7.1	This paragraph 7 shall apply in circumstances where:

(A)

(subject to any reasonable requirements of the insurers of the Buyer’s Group and/or the Target Group and subject to the Buyer being indemnified and secured to the satisfaction of the Buyer by the Management Sellers against all costs and expenses which may be properly incurred by reason of such action) take such action as the Management Sellers may reasonably request to prove or dispute (as the case may be) any such third party claim; and

(B)

not settle or admit any liability or claim to which such action is referable without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

8.	Duty to Mitigate

Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict or limit the general obligation at law of the Buyer to mitigate any Loss which it may suffer in consequence of any breach by the Management Sellers of any of the Warranties.

9.	Recovery from Third Parties

If any Seller makes any payment to the Buyer in relation to a Claim or Indemnity Claim (other than a claim under the Tax Warranties) (the “Damages Payment”) and any member of the Buyer’s Group or a Target Company receives any sum or benefit otherwise than from that Seller or any of its Affiliates (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief or otherwise, and including from any Tax Authority) which would not have been received but for the circumstances giving rise to that Claim or the Indemnity Claim (the “Sum Recovered”), the Buyer shall, or shall procure that the relevant Target Company or member of the Buyer’s Group shall within five Business Days’ following the relevant Target Company or member of the Buyer’s Group receiving such sum or benefit repay to that Seller (i) if the Damages Payment is an amount more than or equal to the Sum Recovered, the Sum Recovered (less all costs properly incurred by the Buyer or the Buyer’s Group in the recovery) or, (ii) if the Damages Payment is less than the Sum Recovered, the Damages Payment (less all costs properly incurred by the Buyer or the Buyer’s Group in the recovery).

- 78 -

10.	Changes in Law and Tax Rates

The Management Sellers shall not be liable for any Claim (other than a Claim under the Tax Warranties) if and to the extent that it is attributable to or the amount of such Claim is increased as a result of:

(A)

any voluntary act carried out by the Buyer or any member of the Buyer’s Group after Completion otherwise than in the ordinary course of the trading of the Target Group as carried on at Completion or as a result of any act carried out pursuant to a legally binding obligation of any Target Company incurred prior to Completion or any re-organisation effected by the Buyer Group after Completion with the approval of the Management Sellers or pursuant to this Agreement or any Transaction Document or save to the extent that such act is carried out pursuant to the request of the Management Sellers;

(C)

any change of law, regulation, directive, requirement or administration practice which takes effect retroactively; or

(D)

11.	No Double Recovery

If the Buyer recovers damages or obtains payment, reimbursement, restitution or indemnity in respect of any one liability, loss or breach or other set of circumstances under a Claim or, as the case may be, claim under the Tax Covenant, or, as the case may be, an Indemnity Claim that recovery shall to that extent also satisfy the liability of the Sellers under, as the case may be, any claim under the Tax Covenant or Claim or Indemnity Claim in respect of the same subject matter.

SCHEDULE 9

The Net Debt Adjustment and Net Working Capital Adjustment

Part 1

Basis of Preparation

1.	The Net Debt Statement will include all elements of the Net Debt Amount as set out in the pro forma in Part 3 of this Schedule 9 which, for illustrative purposes, has been populated with the relevant financial information as at 31 October 2014.

2.	The Net Working Capital Statement will include all elements of the Net Working Capital definition as set out in the pro forma in Part 4 of this Schedule 9 which, for illustrative purposes, has been populated with the relevant financial information as at 31 October 2014.

3.	Any amounts included in the calculation of the Net Debt Amount shall be excluded from the calculation of Working Capital.

4.	The Net Debt Statement and Net Working Capital Statement shall be prepared:

4.1	in accordance with the specific accounting treatments set out in paragraph 5 below;

4.2	subject to paragraph 4.1, adopting the same accounting principles, policies, treatments and categorisations as were used in the preparation of the Accounts, as there applied, including in relation to the exercise of accounting discretion and judgement;

4.3	subject to paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2 (save where paragraph 4.2 contradicts this paragraph 4.3, in which case this paragraph 4.3 shall take precedence), where neither the specific accounting treatments set out in paragraph 5 below nor the Accounts deal with a matter, by reference to UK GAAP;

4.4	no account will be taken of deferred tax assets; and

4.5	for the avoidance of doubt, the Net Debt Statement will be prepared on the basis that all Indebtedness owed to National Westminster Bank plc and the Pension Trustees and which is repaid in accordance with clause 4 and Schedule 6 remains owing.

5.	The following specific policies shall be applied in the preparation of the Net Debt Statement and Net Working Capital Statement:

5.1	All information becoming available before the agreement of the Net Debt Statement and Net Working Capital Statement may be taken into account in the preparation of the Net Debt Statement and Net Working Capital Statement.

5.2	Full provision shall be made for unfunded defined benefit pension liabilities.

5.3	Full provision will be made in respect of Taxation.

5.4	Full provision will be made in respect of dilapidations.

5.5	In addition to the provision referred to in paragraph 5.4 of this Part 1 of this Schedule 9, a further provision of £289,000 shall be made in respect of dilapidations.

- 96 -

5.6	Provision shall be made for the estimated charge for the audit and tax review of the Target Group, prorated for the period from the Balance Sheet Date to the Completion Date.

5.7	For the purpose of calculating the Net Working Capital Statement the bad debt provision shall be removed (as illustrated within the pro forma in Part 4 of this Schedule 9).

5.8

Whilst, as set out in paragraph 5.7 of this Part 1 of this Schedule 9, provisions for certain debts in existence at the Completion Date will be included in the Net Working Capital Statement and Net Debt Statement, for the sole purpose of calculating the Net Working Capital Statement, the bad debt provision shall be removed (as illustrated within the pro forma in Part 4 of this Schedule 9).

5.9	Any decrease in any provision included in the Accounts shall only be effected if justified by changes in facts and circumstances since the Balance Sheet Date (and not by the application of different judgement).

5.10	All trade receivables and work in progress balances in connection with the Target Group’s Mexican, Singaporean and Scandinavian divisions will be excluded from the calculation of Net Working Capital within the Net Working Capital Statement.

5.11	Full provision shall be made for amounts owed to the Sellers and their Affiliates.

5.12	Full provision shall be made for any early termination fees of the Group’s loan and financing facilities.

5.13

The line item of £1,156,000 for the Unfunded defined benefit pension liability shall be moved if the SGS Letter with complete schedules is received by the Target Group executed as a deed by SGS Subholding BV prior to the date on which the Net Debt Statement and Working Capital Statement are agreed in accordance with Part 2 of Schedule 9 of this Agreement.

Part 2

Manner of Preparation

The Buyer will, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Completion Date, prepare a closing balance sheet from which a draft of the Net Debt Statement in the format set out in Part 3 of this Schedule and on the basis of preparation set out in Part 1 of this Schedule and a draft of the Working Capital Statement in the format set out in Part 4 of this Schedule and on the basis of preparation set out in Part 1 of this Schedule shall be derived.

- 97 -

The Buyer and the Buyer’s accountants on the one hand, and the Sellers’ Representative and the Sellers’ accountants on the other, will be entitled to review all of the books, records and papers of the other of them as they relate to the Target Group and which are relevant for the purposes of preparing or, as the case may be, evaluating the Net Debt Statement and Working Capital Statement. The Buyer will, and will procure that each Target Company and the Buyer’s accountants (if appropriate) will, on the one hand, and the Sellers will, and will procure that the Sellers’ accountants (if appropriate) will, on the other hand, provide to the other of them all reasonable assistance to prepare or, as the case may be evaluate, the Net Debt Statement and Working Capital Statement, including the provision of access to all working papers and relevant personnel of each of their respective entities referred to in this paragraph 2.

3.	The Buyer shall procure that the draft Net Debt Statement and Working Capital Statement is delivered to the Sellers’ Representative within 90 days after the Completion Date.

The Sellers’ Representative will notify the Buyer within 20 Business Days after receipt of the draft Net Debt Statement and Working Capital Statement whether the Sellers agree with the draft Net Debt Statement and Working Capital Statement. If the Sellers do not so agree, such notification by the Sellers’ Representative must give reasonable details of any disagreement (including the basis for such disagreement) and the adjustments (including the quantification of the item) which, in the opinion of the Sellers, should be made (the “Disputed Details”). Any matter or item in relation to the draft Net Debt Statement and Working Capital Statement not included by the Sellers’ Representative within the Disputed Details will be deemed to be agreed by the Sellers for the purposes of the final determination of the Net Debt Statement and Working Capital Statement in accordance with this Schedule, and if no Disputed Details are received by the Buyer within the 20 Business Days period, all of the Net Debt Statement and Working Capital Statement will be deemed to be agreed by the Sellers. If the Buyer disagrees with the Dispute Details, it shall deliver a notice (the “Buyer’s Dispute Response”) to the Sellers’ Representative within 20 Business Days from receipt of the Disputed Details. The Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer will meet and discuss the Disputed Details in order to seek to reach agreement upon such adjustments (if any) to the draft Net Debt Statement and Working Capital Statement as are acceptable to the Buyer and the Sellers in order to put such draft document in final form.

If:

(A)

the Sellers’ Representative does not notify the Buyer of any Disputed Details within the said 20 Business Days period, the draft Net Debt Statement and Working Capital Statement will constitute the Net Debt Statement and Working Capital Statement for the purposes of this Agreement; or

(B)

the Buyer does not revert to the Sellers’ Representative with the Buyer’s Dispute Response within the said 20 Business Days period, the draft Net Debt Statement and Working Capital Statement, as amended by the Disputed Details, will constitute the Net Debt Statement and Working Capital Statement for the purposes of this Agreement.

If the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative are unable to resolve all matters in dispute within 15 days after the notification by the Sellers’ Representative in accordance with paragraph 4 above of the Disputed Details (or, if later and if delivered by the Buyer in accordance with paragraph 4 above, within 20 Business Days following the notification by the Buyer of the Buyer’s Dispute Response), the unresolved Disputed Details (but no other matters) will be

- 98 -

referred on the application of either the Sellers’ Representative or the Buyer to an independent firm of internationally recognised chartered accountants to be appointed (in default of nomination by agreement between the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer within a further five Business Days) by the President for the time being of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales for resolution. In giving its decision, the firm so appointed will state what adjustments (if any) are necessary to the draft Net Debt Statement and Working Capital Statement in order for them to have been prepared in accordance with this Agreement. Such draft Net Debt Statement and Working Capital Statement will, subject to and following any such adjustments, constitute the Net Debt Statement and Working Capital Statement for the purposes of this Agreement.

7.	If there is a referral to an independent firm of accountants, the following provisions will apply:

(A)

the Sellers’ Representative and/or the Buyer will submit the Disputed Details and the Buyer’s Dispute Response to the independent accountants, together with any relevant documents required by the appointed firm for the purposes of making its decision in accordance with this Schedule (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may not include any new or previously undisclosed material or submissions relating to the unresolved Disputed Details);

(B)

the independent accountants will be entitled:

(1)

to stipulate the time period within which the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer will prepare and submit the written statement and written comments referred to in this paragraph 7 and to disregard any written statement or comments not delivered to the independent accountants within the time period so stipulated;

(2)

to require the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer to attend one or more meetings and to raise enquiries of them about any matters which the independent accountants consider relevant;

(3)

in the absence of agreement between the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer, to determine the procedure to be followed in undertaking the expert determination, insofar as the procedure is not set out in this Schedule; and

(4)

to appoint advisers (including legal advisers) if required;

(C)

the Sellers and the Buyer will use all reasonable endeavours to procure that the independent accountants are given all such assistance and access to documents and other information as they may reasonably require in order to make their decision;
