Preparation of draft Locked Box Statement

 

As soon as practicable following Completion but in any event within 30 Business Days after the Completion Date, the Purchaser shall procure the preparation of a draft Locked Box Statement on the basis, of and in accordance with, the requirements, accounting policies and accounting methods set out in Parts II and III of Schedule 9, and in the same (or substantially the same) format as the Pro-forma Locked Box Statement.

 

Review of draft Locked Box Statement

 

When the draft Locked Box Statement has been prepared, the Purchaser shall forthwith deliver a copy thereof to the Vendor. The Vendor and its accountants shall then have a period of 20 Business Days after the date on which the Purchaser delivered the draft Locked Box Statement to the Vendor (the “Review Period”) within which to review the draft Locked Box Statement. The Vendor shall, before the expiry of the Review Period, either:

 

(H)confirm in writing to the Purchaser that it agrees with the draft Locked Box Statement; or

Deemed acceptance of draft Locked Box Statement

 

If the Vendor fails so to confirm or to give notice in accordance with clause 3.5, the draft Locked Box Statement shall, upon expiry of the Review Period, be deemed to have been finally accepted and agreed by the parties.

Dispute resolution

 

If the Vendor serves a notice in accordance with clause 3.5(B) the parties shall endeavour to resolve all matters in dispute as soon as practicable. If they fail to resolve such matters within 20 Business Days after the date on which the Purchaser received such notice from the Vendor (or such longer period as the parties shall agree) (the “Resolution Period”), either party may refer any matter in dispute to an independent chartered accountant (the “Expert”) for a resolution. The identity of such accountant shall be agreed between the parties and he shall be appointed within 10 Business Days after the expiry of the Resolution Period (the “Appointment Period”). If the parties fail to make such appointment within the Appointment Period, the appointment shall be made by the President for the time being of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (in which case, such independent chartered accountant shall be a partner at one of KPMG LLP or Deloitte LLP) within five Business Days after the expiry of the Appointment Period, on the application of either party. Such accountant shall be instructed to determine the dispute in accordance with the provisions of this clause 3 and to make such determination as soon as practicable and in any event within 30 Business Days of his being instructed or such longer period as he shall, in his discretion, reasonably require. In making such determination, the Expert shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator and his decision shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding on the parties. The costs of the Expert shall be borne by the parties in such proportions as he may direct or, in the absence of any such direction, as to one half by the Purchaser and as to the other half by the Vendor.

 

The Expert’s appointment

 

The following provisions shall apply once the Expert has been appointed:

 

(J)the parties agree that they will promptly provide the Expert with all information in their respective possession or control which the Expert shall reasonably require;

 

(K)the Expert shall determine his own procedure but shall:

 

(1)give the Vendor and the Purchaser a reasonable opportunity to make written and oral representations to him;

 

(2)require that the Vendor and the Purchaser shall supply each other with copies of their written representations at the same time as they are submitted to the Expert and to respond in writing to any such written representations; and

 

(3)permit the Vendor and the Purchaser to be present when the other of them is making oral submissions to the Expert and to make oral submissions in reply; and

  

(L)the Expert may, if he reasonably considers it necessary to reach his determination, instruct valuers, solicitors and other professional advisers.

Provision of information

 

The Vendor and its accountants shall be entitled to examine such of the Purchaser’s working papers as are needed to understand the derivation of the figures included in the draft Locked Box Statement for the purposes of their review under clause 3.5, and the Purchaser shall use reasonable endeavours to procure that there are made available to the Vendor and its accountants any such working papers of the Purchaser’s accountants, subject in each case to the Vendor complying with any reasonable hold harmless or similar requirements of the Purchaser or its accountants in connection with the release of such working papers to the Vendor. Subject thereto, the parties agree that they will promptly provide each other and their respective advisers with all information in their respective possession or control relating to the operations of the Group as may be relevant for the purposes of the Locked Box Statement, and with co-operation and assistance as may reasonably be required to facilitate the production, review and agreement of the Locked Box Statement. The Purchaser undertakes to procure that there is made available such reasonable services (at reasonable times and on reasonable notice) of such employees of the Group as are necessary in order to provide the information referred to above, provided that such employees shall not be obliged to provide any additional analysis or create new information in addition to the above mentioned information and shall only be required to provide existing information in the form in which it already exists.

 

Vendor Debt Balance

 

On the Adjustment Release Date:

 

(M)the Purchaser will procure that any Vendor Debt Balance which is shown as at the Locked Box Date in the Locked Box Statement as being greater than the Target Vendor Debt Balance is repaid to the Vendor’s Group (in recognition that the First Vendor Debt Balance Payment and the Second Vendor Debt Balance Payment together do not satisfy the Vendor Debt Balance) and such shortfall amount shall be taken into account in the Locked Box Statement to reduce the Locked Box Net Cash;

 

(N)the Vendor will procure that any Vendor Debt Balance which is shown as at the Locked Box Date in the Locked Box Statement as being less than the Target Vendor Debt Balance shall be repaid to the Company (in recognition that the First Vendor Debt Balance Payment and the Second Vendor Debt Balance Payment are, in aggregate, more than needed to satisfy the Vendor Debt Balance) and such excess amount shall be taken into account in the Locked Box Statement to increase the Locked Box Net Cash.

 

Second Vendor Debt Balance Payment

 

On or before the first anniversary of Completion, the Purchaser shall procure that On Demand Management Limited pays (or if On Demand Management Limited is unable so to pay, the Purchaser shall pay) the Second Vendor Debt Balance Payment (which for the avoidance of doubt will be equal to the Second Vendor Debt Balance less any amounts by way of set-off against such balance pursuant to clause 15) to the Vendor’s Account.

 

Payments

 

All cash sums payable under this clause 3 shall be paid by telegraphic transfer:

Any insurances of the Company and the Subsidiaries which also cover companies within the Vendor’s Group and which are written on an occurrence basis shall be maintained for the benefit of the Company and the Subsidiaries in respect of the period up to Completion.

 

5.Warranties

 

Giving of Warranties

 

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and in particular the exclusions and limitations in Schedule 7, the Vendor hereby warrants to the Purchaser in the terms of the Warranties. Any sum payable by the Vendor to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Tax Deed shall, to the greatest extent permitted by law, be treated as a reduction in the Price.

 

* - Confidential Treatment Requested. Omitted portions filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Disclosure

 

The Warranties are given subject to the facts and matters disclosed in or by the Disclosure Letter and the Purchaser shall accordingly have no claim in respect of any of the Warranties in relation to any fact or matter so disclosed. For this purpose, and for all purposes under this Agreement the expression “disclosed” means fairly disclosed (in the absence of any fraud, dishonesty or deliberate misstatement on the part of the Vendor or the Group or any of their respective agents, officers or employees) in such a manner and in such detail as to permit the Purchaser to make a reasonably informed assessment of the matter concerned.

 

Scope of Warranties

 

The Vendor and the Purchaser agree that each Warranty shall be separate and independent and, save as expressly provided, shall not be limited by reference to any other Warranty, provided that the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except as regards the Warranties at paragraphs 7 (Litigation), 9 (Accounts) and 10.3 (Effect of Sale) of Schedule 5 and the Warranties in Schedule 6 (together, the “Non-Ringfenced Warranties”) (the scope of which shall not be limited by this clause), the Vendor does not give any warranty:

 

(A)in respect of the Premises save for the Non-Ringfenced Warranties and the Warranties in paragraph 11.4 of Schedule 5, and each of the other Warranties shall be deemed not to be given in respect of the Premises;

 

(B)in respect of Intellectual Property and IT Systems (each as defined in Schedule 5) and all matters pertaining thereto (including Licensed IP and other IP Agreements and any disputes) save for the Non-Ringfenced Warranties and the Warranties in paragraph 11.3(A) to 11.3(U) (inclusive) of Schedule 5, and each of the other Warranties shall be deemed not to be given in respect thereof;

 

(C)in respect of employment matters, save for the Non-Ringfenced Warranties and the Warranties contained in paragraphs 14.1 to 14.17 inclusive of Schedule 5, and each of the other Warranties shall be deemed not to be given in respect of employment matters;

 

(D)in respect of pension schemes, retirement or superannuation benefits or any related claims, liabilities or other matters save for the Non-Ringfenced Warranties and the Warranties contained in paragraph 14.18 of Schedule 5, and each of the other Warranties shall be deemed not to be given in respect of such matters.

 

Warranties given on the date of this Agreement and for all members of the Group

 

(E)The Warranties are given on the date of this Agreement. The Warranties shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding Completion.

(F)Each Warranty which is expressed to be given in relation to the Company shall also be deemed to be given in relation to each of the other members of the Group as if it had been repeated with respect to each such member naming it in place of the Company throughout.

 

Purchaser’s remedies

 

(G)The Purchaser acknowledges that it has not been induced to enter into this Agreement by, and it does not in connection with this Agreement or its subject matter rely on, any representation, warranty, promise or assurance by the Vendor or any other person save for those contained in this Agreement and the Tax Deed.

 

(H)Subject to clause 5.5(E) the Purchaser shall have no right to rescind or terminate this Agreement and the only remedy of the Purchaser shall be damages for the breach of this Agreement and such other remedies as are available under the Tax Deed.

 

(I)The Purchaser confirms to the Vendor that, save to the extent that it is disclosed in the Disclosure Letter, the Purchaser is not actually aware of any facts, matters, events or circumstances which, to the Purchaser’s actual knowledge constitute a breach of Warranty as at the date of this Agreement. For this purpose, the Purchaser shall be deemed only to have actual knowledge of anything of which Tom Collins, Bill Arendt, Adam Salassi, Ramu Potarazu, Mike Kalten or Amit Saluja is actually aware.

 

(J)The exclusions and limitations in Schedule 7 shall apply to all claims under the Warranties, other than claims in respect of the Title and Capacity Warranties (except where expressly stated to the contrary).

 

(K)Nothing in this Agreement shall exclude or affect any right or remedy available to the Purchaser in respect of any fraud, dishonesty or deliberate misstatement or deliberate concealment on the part of the Vendor or the Group or any of their respective agents, officers or employees.

 

Payment from Retention Account

 

In accordance with clause 15, any payment for which the Vendor is liable pursuant to this clause 5 may be satisfied from the Retention Account. Subject always to the limitations in Schedule 7, to the extent that the amount available in the Retention Account (and not allocated to any Agreed Claim or Unagreed Claim which was notified to the Vendor prior to the notification of the relevant claim under this clause 5 giving rise to the payment) is insufficient for the satisfaction of the relevant claim, the Vendor shall remain liable to the Purchaser for such excess.

 

Waiver of claims by Vendor

(M)save in the case of fraud, dishonesty or deliberate misstatement, to waive any right or claim which it may have against any Group Company and/or any of their respective officers, employees, agents or advisers for any error, omission or misrepresentation in any such information or opinion referred to in paragraph (A); and

 

(N)that any such right or claim referred to in paragraph (B) shall not constitute a defence to any claim by the Purchaser under or in relation to this Agreement (including the Warranties) or the Tax Deed.

 

Warranties by Purchaser

 

The Purchaser warrants to the Vendor as follows:

 

(O)the Purchaser is validly incorporated, in existence and duly registered under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation;

 

(P)the Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and any other agreement referred to herein to which it is or has agreed to become a party (the “Purchaser Documents”); and

For the avoidance of doubt, this does not affect the Purchaser’s right to claim against the Vendor under this Agreement or the Tax Deed.

 

(S)The rights of the Vendor Third Parties under this clause 5.9 are intended to be enforceable by them under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. The rights of the Vendor Third Parties under this clause 5.9 are not assignable and are subject to clauses 13 and 14 and the parties to this Agreement may vary this Agreement without the consent of any of the Vendor Third Parties.

Separate undertakings

 

(I)Each of the undertakings contained in clause 7.1 and clause 7.7(A) is a separate undertaking by the Vendor and shall be enforceable by the Purchaser (on its own behalf and on behalf of the Company and each Group Company and member of the Purchaser’s Group) separately and independently of its right to enforce any one or more of the other covenants contained in clause 7.1 or clause 7.7(A). The Vendor agrees (having taken independent legal advice) that the undertakings contained in clause 7.1 and clause 7.7(A) are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the legitimate interests of the Purchaser, and the Company and any other Group Company or member of the Purchaser’s Group and that these restrictions do not work harshly on it. It is nevertheless agreed that, if any such undertaking shall be found to be void but would be valid if some part were deleted, then such undertaking shall apply with such deletions as may be necessary to make it valid and enforceable. The parties further agree that, without prejudice to any other remedy which may be available to the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in relation to any breach or prospective breach of the undertakings in clause 7.1 and clause 7.7(A), or of those contained in clause 11.1(B), it being acknowledged that an award of damages may not be an adequate remedy for such a breach.

 

(J)Each of the undertakings contained in clause 7.3 and clause 7.7(B) is a separate undertaking by the Purchaser and shall be enforceable by the Vendor (on its own behalf and on behalf of any member of the Vendor’s Group) separately and independently of its right to enforce any one or more of the other covenants contained in clause 7.3 and clause 7.7(B). The Purchaser agrees (having taken independent legal advice) that the undertakings contained in clause 7.3 and clause 7.7(B) are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the legitimate interests of the Vendor and any other member of the Vendor’s Group and that these restrictions do not work harshly on it. It is nevertheless agreed that, if any such undertaking shall be found to be void but would be valid if some part were deleted, then such undertaking shall apply with such deletions as may be necessary to make it valid and enforceable. The parties further agree that, without prejudice to any other remedy which may be available to the Vendor, the Vendor shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in relation to any breach or prospective breach of the undertakings in clause 7.3 and clause 7.7(B), it being acknowledged that an award of damages may not be an adequate remedy for such a breach.

(C)If the maximum amount of any Unagreed Claim is so estimated, the parties shall procure that the amount (if any) by which the balance of the aggregate of the Second Vendor Debt Balance Payment and the Retention Release Amount exceeds the estimated maximum amount of all such Unagreed Claims shall be paid or released to the Vendor’s Account on the Retention Release Date (or, if later, within 10 Business Days of the date on which the estimated amount of the Unagreed Claim or, if more than one Unagreed Claim has been made, of the date on which the last such estimated amount has been notified).

PART III

 

SPECIFIC ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR LOCKED BOX STATEMENT

 

1.The draft Locked Box Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the following specific policies:

 

(A)it shall exclude any effects of the change in control or ownership of the Group contemplated by this Agreement and shall not reappraise the value of any of the assets of any Group Company as a result of such change in control or ownership;

(I)No netting or other provision in respect of receivables or accrued income shall be made with respect to the receivables and accrued income set out in Exhibit A attached hereto, provided that in the case of manifest error or misstatement or concealment of matters or failure to take account of information known to the Vendor or the Company or any of their respective directors or officers on or prior to the date of this Agreement adjustment may be made to the receivables and accrued in accordance with the penultimate sentence of this paragraph (I). A full reserve shall be made with respect to the receivable due to the Company from Livemobile (Pty) Limited in the amount of £4,597, meaning that such accounts receivable shall not be included in the calculation of Working Capital Assets. Receivables and accrued income shall be assessed on a customer by customer basis in a manner consistent with that completed by the Company prior to the Completion Date, including based on information about the customer’s financial situation, latest correspondence from the customer in relation to late payments, customer relationships, the value of outstanding invoices in relation to on-going services and past experience in relation to the handling of payments by the customer. For purposes of clarity, the fact that a particular accounts receivable or accrued income item is not paid subsequent to April 30, 2012 shall not be construed, in and of itself, to have required a reserve as of April 30, 2012;

 

(J)Deferred revenue includes (i) amounts invoiced in advance for work to be delivered at a later date (as at 30 April 2012, £99,851), (ii) amounts already invoiced but which require final approval from the relevant customer (as at 30 April 2012, £39,621), and (iii) set-up and integration fees billed at the start of new customer agreements (as at 30 April 2012, £264,538); deferred revenue is released as services are provided and, in the case of set-up and integration fees, the fees are amortised and recognised over the initial term of the customer agreement; and

 

(K)Other accrued expenses include (i) content costs which are amortised and recognised over the licence period for each piece of content (the accrued amounts are based on rates quoted in the applicable supplier agreement and other written agreements by the parties; where the final rates and costs have not yet been agreed, reasonable costs are accrued consistent with prior experience), and (ii) other cost of sales and overhead costs are accrued based on rates agreed with suppliers and services received to date.
