The “Adjustment Amount”, which may be a positive or negative number, shall mean the difference between the Final Working Capital minus the Target Net Working Capital; provided, that if the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount as calculated above is less than $500,000, then the Adjustment Amount shall instead be zero.  If the Adjustment Amount is less than the Estimated Adjustment Amount, MTH, on behalf of the Sellers, and Reuters, on behalf of the Purchasers, shall execute joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent todisburse to the Purchasers an amount equal to the excess of the Estimated Adjustment Amount over the Adjustment Amount as a decrease to the Preliminary Cash Purchase Price, together with interest on such amount at the Prime Rate as provided in Section 2.7; provided, that if there is a Disputed WC Escrow Amount and the Adjustment Amount is greater than the Purchasers’ Estimated Adjustment Amount, the joint written instructions shall also instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse to MTH, on behalf of the Sellers, an amount equal to the excess of the Adjustment Amount over the Purchasers’ Estimated Adjustment Amount, together with interest on such amount at the Prime Rate as provided in Section 2.7.  If the Adjustment Amount is greater than the Estimated AdjustmentAmount, Reuters, on behalf of the Purchasers, shall pay or cause to be paid to MTH, on behalf of the Sellers, an amount equal to the excess of the Adjustment Amount over the Estimated Adjustment Amount as an increase to the Preliminary Cash Purchase Price, together with interest on such excess at the Prime Rate as provided in Section 2.7, and if there is a Disputed WC Escrow Amount, MTH, on behalf of the Sellers, and Reuters, on behalf of the Purchasers, shall execute joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse to MTH, on behalf of the Sellers, the Disputed WC Escrow Amount, together with interest on such amount at the Prime Rate as provided in Section 2.7.  “Final Working Capital” means Closing Working Capital(i) as shown in Reuters’ calculation delivered pursuant to Section 2.5.1 if no notice of disagreement with respect thereto is duly delivered pursuant to Section 2.5.3.1; or (ii) if such a notice of disagreement is delivered, (A) as agreed to by Reuters and MTH pursuant to Section 2.5.3 or (B) in the absence of such agreement, as shown in the Independent Accountant’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 2.5.3.2; provided, however, that in no event shall Final Working Capital be more than MTH’s calculation of Closing Working Capital delivered pursuant to Section 2.5.3.1 or less than Reuters’ calculation of Closing Working Capital delivered pursuant to Section 2.5.1. |

The determination of the Independent Accountant with respect to those items in dispute, which shall be set forth in a written statementdelivered to MTH and Reuters, together with the determinations of Reuters and MTH with respect to those items accepted by MTH (not otherwise affected by this Section 2.5.3.2) or otherwise resolved between Reuters and MTH, shall be referred to as the “Final Closing Date Statement of Working Capital” Closing Working Capital as set forth thereon shall be referred to herein as “Final Working Capital” and shall be final and binding upon all parties hereto.  The Independent Accountant shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to reach such determination as quickly as possible. |

|           **Section 2.6**     **Restructuring Actions Purchase Price Adjustment**.  In addition to the adjustments contemplated by Section 2.5, the Preliminary Cash Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount of Restructuring Cost Savings (as defined below and as finally determined in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.6), if any, that result from actions that any Business Entity takes independently in connection with the operation of the Business prior to Closing (the “Seller Restructuring Actions”).  Exhibit XII attached hereto sets forth a list of certain restructuring actions that the Purchasers intend to take with respect to the Business followingthe Closing (the “Reuters Restructuring Actions”) and the anticipated costs thereof (the “Reuters Restructuring Costs”) (a Seller Restructuring Action that is not also a Reuters Restructuring Action set forth on Exhibit XII, is hereby referred to as a “New Seller Restructuring Action” and a Seller Restructuring Action that is also a Reuters Restructuring Action set forth on Exhibit XII, is hereby referred to as a “Scheduled Seller Restructuring Action”).  “Restructuring Cost Savings” means the sum, without duplication, of (a) the aggregate amount relating to the achievement of Scheduled Seller Restructuring Actions taken by any Business Entity prior to the Closing asset forth on Exhibit XII and (b) the amount of new cost savings (“New Cost Savings”) attributable to New Seller Restructuring Actions.  The amount of New Cost Savings attributable to New Seller Restructuring Actions shall be determined according to the following procedure:  (i) prior to any New Seller Restructuring Action after the date hereof, MTH shall notify Reuters in writing of the intention to undertake the same, and provide in writing relevant details to allow Reuters to assess the extent to which such New Seller Restructuring Action would result in New Costs Savings, including MTH’s proposed calculation thereof (any such notice is referred to as an “MTH Cost Savings Notice”); (ii) Reuters shallpromptly indicate to MTH in writing (the “Reuters Cost Savings Notice Response”) with sufficient detail and explanation thereof whether it agrees with such calculation or believes that the resulting New Costs Savings are in a different amount, the cost savings relating thereto are different from MTH’s calculations or other costs or exposures arise in connection therewith, or otherwise; and (iii) the savings as both MTH and Reuters, after good faith discussions between the Chief Executive Officer of MTH and the Global Head of Business Development of Reuters and acting reasonably based on the general principles set forth above, agree in writing result from the New Seller Restructuring Actions shall be considered New Cost Savings.  In the event that MTH andReuters fail to agree on the savings amount with respect to any MTH Cost Savings Notice, the Sellers may, but shall not be obligated to, perform the New Seller Restructuring Actions described therein so long as not in violation of any provision of this Agreement, provided that no New Cost Savings shall be attributed to such New Seller Restructuring Action, and the Sellers shall not be entitled to any adjustment to the Preliminary Cash Purchase Price resulting from such New Seller Restructuring Action.

|           **Section 2.8**     **Allocation of Purchase Price**.  Exhibit XIII attached hereto sets forth a preliminary statement (“Preliminary Allocation Statement”) allocating the Preliminary Cash Purchase Price, the Liabilities treated as assumed for federal income Tax purposes and the value of the SAVVIS Stock among the Purchased Subsidiaries and the Transferred Assets by jurisdiction based on the assets and liabilities of the Business as of October 31, 2004 and the estimated SAVVIS Stock Fair Market Value as of December 20, 2004, which Preliminary Allocation shall be updated as of the Closing Date to take into account any changes in the assets and liabilities of the Businessand SAVVIS Stock Fair Market Value through such date.  Reuters shall provide such updated allocation statement (the “Closing Date Allocation Statement”) to MTH within twenty (20) days after the Closing Date, which Closing Date Allocation Statement shall be reasonably satisfactory to MTH (in lieu of the Preliminary Allocation Statement).  All Tax Returns filed by Reuters, the Sellers and their respective Affiliates shall be prepared consistently with such Closing Date Allocation Statement except as otherwise required under applicable accounting or Tax rules, laws or regulations.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the Closing Date Allocation Statement shall, to the extent applicable, be based upon (at the time of initial preparation), or be revised(subsequent to the time of initial preparation, but prior to filing the relevant Tax Returns by Reuters) based upon, independent appraisals furnished by independent appraisers selected by MTH if the same are acceptable to Reuters’ regular independent auditors.  All adjustments to the Preliminary Cash Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.5 or 2.6 shall be allocated to the Purchased Subsidiaries, and the Closing Date Allocation Statement shall be revised to reflect such allocation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.8, in the event Reuters and MTH cannot agree that the Closing Date Allocation Statement fairly reflects the proper allocation of the value of the consideration among the Purchased Subsidiaries and Transferred Assets by jurisdictionfor Tax purposes, then Reuters and MTH shall use their own allocations for Tax purposes. |

|   | the Purchasers and their successors        or permitted assigns that all of Transferred Assets and Transferred Liabilities        intended to be conveyed to or assumed by the Purchasers under this Agreement        and (B) to assure fully to the Sellers, and their respective successors        and permitted assigns, the maintenance by the Sellers of the Excluded        Assets and the assumption by the Purchasers of the Transferred Liabilities        intended to be assumed by the Purchasers under this Agreement, and to        otherwise make effective as promptly as practicable the transactions        contemplated herein. Nothing in this Agreement nor the consummation of        the transactions contemplated hereby shall be construed as an attempt        or agreement to assign any Transferred Asset, which by its terms or by        Law is nonassignable without the consent of a third party or a Governmental        Authority or is cancelable by a third party in the event of an assignment        (“Nonassignable Assets”) unless and until such consent        shall have been obtained. The Sellers and OEP shall use all commercially        reasonable efforts to cooperate with Reuters at its request in endeavoring        to obtain such consents promptly. The Purchasers shall use all commercially        reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Sellers and OEP at their request        in endeavoring to obtain such consents promptly. To the extent permitted        by applicable Law, in the event consents to the assignment thereof cannot        be obtained, such Nonassignable Assets shall be held, as of and from        the Closing Date, by the Sellers in trust for the Purchasers and the        covenants and obligations thereunder shall be performed by the Purchasers        in the Sellers’ names and all benefits and obligations existing        thereunder shall be for Purchasers’ account. The Sellers shall        use commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken at the        Sellers’ expense such actions in their names or otherwise as Reuters        may reasonably request so as to provide the Purchasers with the benefits        of the Nonassignable Assets and to effect collection of money or other        consideration that becomes due and payable under the Nonassignable Assets,        and the Sellers shall promptly pay over to the applicable Purchaser all        money or other consideration received by them in respect of all Nonassignable        Assets. As of and from the Closing Date, the Sellers on behalf of themselves        authorize the Purchasers, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and        the terms of the Nonassignable Assets to perform all the obligations        and receive all the benefits of the Sellers under the Nonassignable Assets,        and the Sellers appoint the applicable Purchaser their attorney-in-fact        to act on behalf of the Sellers with respect thereto. In addition to        the foregoing, the Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts        to take or cause to be taken such other actions as may be reasonably        requested by the Purchasers to put in place alternative arrangements,        contractual or otherwise, that provide more effectively to the Purchasers        the benefits of the Nonassignable Assets or otherwise address the impact        of the failure to obtain the consent of any third party. |

by this Agreement. Each of the Purchasers,    the Sellers and OEP shall promptly inform the other parties hereto of any    oral communication with, and provide copies of written communications with,    any Governmental Authority regarding any such filings or applications or    any such transaction. No party hereto shall independently participate in    any meeting or discussion with any Governmental Authority in respect of any    such filings, applications, investigation, or other inquiry without giving    the other parties hereto prior notice of the meeting and, to the extent permitted    by the relevant Governmental Authority, the opportunity to attend and participate    (which, at the request of any of the parties, shall be limited to outside    antitrust counsel only); provided, that the Sellers, OEP and their    counsel shall not be permitted to address or respond with respect to any    of the issues described in Section 6.6.2 without the prior consent of    the Purchasers, which consent may be given or withheld in the sole discretion    of the Purchasers, unless the Sellers, OEP and their counsel are compelled    to so address or respond by judicial or administrative process or by other    requirements of Law or Governmental Authorities. Each of the Sellers and    OEP, on the one hand, and the Purchasers, on the other hand, may initiate    any such meeting or discussion after fully consulting with the other in good    faith with the object of reaching agreement on the content, purpose and strategy    of such meeting or discussion and subject to including the other as set forth    above; provided, that neither the Sellers nor OEP may initiate a meeting    or discussion regarding any of the issues described in Section 6.6.2.    Subject to applicable Law, the parties will consult and cooperate with each    other in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda,    briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf    of any party hereto relating to proceedings under the Antitrust Laws, and    shall provide to the Sellers’ and OEP’s or the Purchasers’ outside    antitrust counsel, as appropriate, all information and documents reasonably    requested by such counsel promptly upon request, subject to any reasonable    restrictions. The parties hereto may, as each deems advisable and necessary,    reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the    other under this Section 6.6 as “outside counsel only” or “outside    antitrust counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained    therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient    or in the case of outside antitrust counsel only to the outside antitrust    counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel    or outside antitrust counsel to employees, officers, or directors of the    recipient, unless express written permission is obtained in advance from    the source of the materials of the Purchasers, the Sellers or OEP (as the    case may be). The Purchasers shall be responsible for all filing and similar    fees, and the Purchasers and the Sellers shall each be responsible for one-half    of the fees of experts jointly retained by the parties.

|   |           6.6.1     Each        of the Purchasers, the Sellers and OEP shall use all commercially reasonable        efforts to resolve the objections, if any, that may be asserted by any        Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated        by this Agreement under the Antitrust Laws. Each of the Purchasers, the        Sellers and OEP shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to take        such action as may be required to cause the expiration of the notice        periods under the Antitrust Laws with respect to such transactions as        promptly as possible after the execution of this Agreement. In the event        that any Governmental Authority institutes any Action challenging any        transaction contemplated by this Agreement as a violation of any Antitrust        Law, or decides not to give any consent, approval or clearance necessary |

In the event any party contests any such Action described        in the preceding sentence, the other parties shall reasonably cooperate        with such contesting party in connection therewith. |

The Sellers agree to terminate, prior to the Closing,        the employment of each Business Employee so identified in writing to        the Sellers by Reuters; provided, that (i) the Sellers only shall        be obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect any such        terminations, (ii) Reuters shall provide sufficient funds to MTH        to effect any such terminations in the event MTH determines in its reasonable        discretion that such additional funds are necessary to comply with Reuters’ request        to effect terminations, and provided, further, that the        Sellers shall promptly return any such funds which ultimately are not        necessary to effect such terminations, and (iii) Reuters shall indemnify        and hold harmless the Sellers for any and all Liabilities related to        the Severance Benefits of any Business Employee so identified to the        Sellers, except that nothing herein shall relieve the Sellers from any        Liability they may have hereunder with respect to the breach of any representation,        warranty or covenant of the Sellers set forth herein. Reuters or its        Affiliates shall employ (or offer to employ) such Business Employees        on such terms and conditions as Reuters shall determine, subject to applicable        law and subject to any Employment Agreement, including any Employment        Agreement that is assigned pursuant to Section 6.8.2. Reuters shall        be responsible for any and all Liabilities related to or in respect of        the employment of any Business Employee or Former Business Employee,        whether or not attributable to pre-Closing periods, including obligations        of any of the Sellers or any of the Purchased Subsidiaries to provide        Severance Benefits by reason of termination of employment prior to, following,        or in connection with the Closing, and COBRA Coverage for Business Employees,        Former Business Employees and their dependents and beneficiaries; provided,        that with respect to Severance Benefits resulting from terminations occurring        after the date hereof but prior to the Closing, Reuters has approved        of any such pre-Closing termination; and provided, further,        that nothing herein shall relieve the Sellers from any Liability they        may have hereunder with respect to the breach of any representation,        warranty or covenant of the Sellers set forth herein. |

If MTH fails to deliver the Tax Returns subject        to Reuters’ review and approval pursuant to Section 6.9.3,        along with supporting work papers, and/or evidence of payment of such        Taxes or, if after Reuters’ review pursuant to Section 6.9.3,        Reuters reasonably believes that a different amount of Taxes is due and        payable, Reuters shall have the right to submit a claim for indemnification        for an amount equal to the difference between the Taxes Reuters has reasonably        determined to be due and payable and the amount MTH has paid with respect        thereto (the “Disputed Gain Tax Amount”); provided, however,        that, if the Independent Accountant has, pursuant to Sections 6.9.3        and 6.9.7, made a determination with respect to any dispute regarding        the amount of Taxes due and payable (based upon the standard of what        Taxes “should” be due and payable), Reuters’ claim        for indemnification shall not exceed the Disputed Gain Tax Amount calculated        based on the Independent Accountant’s determination; and, provided, further,        that the Disputed Gain Tax Amount shall not exceed 40% of the excess        of the Aggregate Consideration Value over the Value Threshold. Upon a        final determination that no Disputed Gain Tax Amount is payable by MTH        (as a result of the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations        relating to the Disputed Gain Tax Amount before a Taxing Authority has        asserted a notice of deficiency relating to the Disputed Gain Tax Amount        or a final determination of the amount payable with respect to the Disputed        Gain Tax Amount and payment thereof), Reuters and MTH shall jointly instruct        the Escrow Agent that Reuters’ claim with respect to the Disputed        Gain Tax Amount has been satisfied. If MTH pays all or any portion of        the Taxes with respect to which a claim for the Disputed Gain Tax Amount        has been made and provides Reuters evidence of payment, Reuters and MTH        shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent that Reuters’ claim with        respect to such Disputed Gain Tax Amount shall be reduced by the amount        of such payment. Any claim under this Section 6.9.15 distributed        to Reuters shall only be used to pay the Taxes relating to such claim,        to the extent Reuters has not already paid such Taxes, and Reuters shall        provide MTH evidence of such payment. MTH shall have the exclusive right        to a refund of any Taxes paid pursuant to this Section 6.9.15. Notwithstanding        the forgoing, Reuters shall not have the right to submit a claim for        indemnification in respect of Disputed Gain Tax Amount (and shall agree        to release any such claim submitted) if OEP agrees to indemnify Reuters        for any Damages resulting from the failure to pay any Disputed Gain Tax        Amount (which indemnity shall not exceed the amount of the Disputed Gain        Tax Amount that would be subject to a claim for indemnification under        this Section 6.9.15), and Reuters is reasonably satisfied that OEP        has the ability to satisfy such indemnity obligation and the parties        enter into a mutually satisfactory indemnification agreement. |

|   |           9.1.9     Subject        to the limitations set forth in Article IX, subsequent to the Closing,        OEP shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Reuters, their respective        Subsidiaries (and after the Closing the Purchased Subsidiaries), their        respective Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively,        the “Reuters Indemnified Parties”), against and in        respect of any and all Damages suffered by such Reuters Indemnified Parties        arising out of or resulting from: (a) the failure of any representation        or warranty of OEP set forth in this Agreement to be true and correct        in all respects, without regard to any materiality qualification or any        qualification based on a threshold amount of Damages, at the Closing        Date, (b) the breach of any covenant of OEP under this Agreement;        (c) the failure of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.2.1        or 3.2.3 (other than with respect to the last two sentences therein)        to be true and correct in all respects at the Closing Date; (d) the        breach of any covenant set forth in Section 6.9.13; and (e) any        claims from any shareholders or holders of Indebtedness (other than within        the meaning of clause (iii) and clause (vi) as it applies to        clause (iii) of the definition thereof) of any Business Entity (other        than any shareholders of the Purchased Subsidiaries who become such through        actions of Reuters or its Affiliates taken, or holders of Indebtedness        of the Purchased Subsidiaries created, after the Closing) in their capacity        as such. OEP’s obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless        the Reuters Indemnified Parties against Damages under clauses (c),        (d) and (e) of this Section 9.1.9 shall be joint and several with        the Sellers’ indemnification obligations to the Reuters Indemnified        Parties against such Damages under Section 9.1.3. Notwithstanding        anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) in no event shall        OEP ever be required to indemnify the Reuters Indemnified Parties pursuant        to this Section 9.1.9 for Damages exceeding, in the aggregate, an        amount equal to the difference of (A) the sum of the portion of        the Final Cash Purchase Price plus the SAVVIS Stock Fair Market Value        as of the Closing Date of the portion of the SAVVIS Stock received by        OEP, any Affiliates of OEP or any employee of OEP, minus (B) the        aggregate fees and expenses incident to this Agreement and the transactions        contemplated herein actually incurred and paid by OEP; and (ii) in        no event shall the Purchasers and the Indemnified Parties ever be entitled        to indemnification under this Agreement from the Sellers and OEP for        Damages exceeding, in the aggregate, an amount equal to the Final Cash        Purchase Price plus the SAVVIS Stock Fair Market Value as of the Closing        Date of the SAVVIS Stock. In the case of any claim for indemnification        under this Section 9.1.9, arising from a claim of a third party,        the provisions of Section 9.2 shall govern. The provisions of this        Section 9.1.9 may not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise        (including, without limitation, by way of merger, consolidation or sale        of interests in any entity); provided, however, that the        Reuters Indemnified Parties may assign the provisions of this Section 9.1.9        to Reuters Group PLC or any of its Affiliates, except that any assignment        to parties that are Affiliates of Reuters Group PLC shall be effective        only for so long as such parties remain Affiliates of Reuters Group PLC. |

|   |           9.2.1     In        the case of any claim for indemnification arising from a Claim of a third        party other than a Tax Claim (each such non-excluded Claim, a “Third        Party Claim”), an Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice        to the Indemnifying Party of any Claim of which such Indemnified Party        has knowledge, and as to which it may request indemnification hereunder,        specifying (to the extent known) the amount of such Claim and any relevant        facts and circumstances relating thereto; provided, however,        that any failure to give such prompt notice or to provide any such facts        and circumstances will not waive any rights of the Indemnified Party,        except to the extent that the rights of the Indemnifying Party are actually        prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to elect        by written notice within 30 days after receiving notice from the Indemnified        Party to defend and to direct the defense against any such Third Party        Claim, in its name or in the name of the Indemnified Party, as the case        may be, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, and with counsel selected        by the Indemnifying Party (which must be reasonably satisfactory to the        Indemnified Party), negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third        Party Claim which relates to any Damages indemnified against hereunder; provided that        the Indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in writing to the Indemnified        Party its unqualified obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party as        provided hereunder in respect of all Damages resulting or arising from        such Third Party Claims for which it is responsible, unless (a) the        Indemnifying Party shall not have taken any action to defend such Third        Party Claim within such 30-day period, (b) the Indemnified Party        shall have reasonably concluded that there is a conflict of interest        between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in the conduct        of the defense of such Third Party Claim or (c) the Indemnified        Party reasonably concludes that the Damages from such claim, individually        or in the aggregate with all other claims, are reasonably likely to exceed        the Cap Amount. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary        (other than the last sentence of this Section 9.2.1), the Indemnified        Party and the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably cooperate with each        other and keep the other party fully informed in the defense of such        Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate        in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel employed at its        own expense; provided, however, that, in the case of any        Third Party Claim described in clauses (a), (b) or (c) above (or        as to which the Indemnifying Party shall not yet have employed counsel        to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim), the reasonable fees        and disbursements of such Indemnified Party’s counsel shall be        at the expense of the Indemnifying Party (until such time as the defense        is assumed by the Indemnifying Party, in the case of the parenthetical        above).

In the event that an Indemnified Party determines that          it has a Claim for Damages against an Indemnifying Party hereunder          (other than as a result of a Third Party Claim), the Indemnified Party          shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party,          specifying the amount of such Claim and any relevant facts and circumstances          relating thereto. The Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying          Party with reasonable access to its records for the purpose of allowing          the Indemnifying Party a reasonable opportunity to verify any such          claim for Damages. Within thirty (30) days after the Indemnifying Party’s          receipt of the Notice of Claim, the parties shall thereafter attempt          to resolve any disputes with respect to the Indemnified Party’s          right to indemnification and/or the Indemnification Amount.

The Damages suffered by any party hereto shall be calculated after          giving effect to the receipt by the Indemnified Party of any recoveries          from third parties, including insurance recoveries (it being understood          and agreed that the Indemnified Parties shall use their commercially          reasonable efforts to seek insurance recoveries in respect of Damages          to be indemnified hereunder; provided, however, that          the Reuters Indemnified Parties shall not be obligated to seek insurance          recoveries in respect of such Damages under any insurance policies          other than the Business Policies), and shall not take into account          any Tax effects. In the event any insurance proceeds are actually realized          by an Indemnified Party subsequent to the receipt by such Indemnified          Party of an indemnification payment hereunder in respect of the claims          to which such insurance proceedings relate, appropriate refunds shall          be made promptly to the Indemnifying Party regarding the amount of          such indemnification payment. |

The          obligations of each party hereto to indemnify, defend and hold harmless          the Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article IX shall terminate          when, in the case of a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant,          the applicable Survival Period expires pursuant to Section 9.1.1.          Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the obligations of each party          hereto to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties          pursuant to this Article IX shall survive the time at which such          obligations would otherwise terminate pursuant to the preceding sentence          if a specific Claim alleging in reasonable detail the then existing          factual basis for such Claim and the Section of this Agreement alleged          to have been breached has been made, in the case of a breach of a representation,          warranty or covenant, during the applicable Survival Period. |

**Exhibit XI**

**Agreed Principles**

The Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement of Closing Working Capital shall:  (a) each be prepared (i) in accordance with GAAP applied in a manner consistent with the preparation of the Balance Sheet and (ii) using the same accounting methods, policies, practices and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and estimation methodology, as were used in the preparation of the Financial Statements to the extent the same were in accordance with GAAP, as such principles, accounting methods, policies, practices, procedures, classifications, judgments and estimation methodology are modified by the Agreed Principles; and (b) in the case of the Closing Statement of Closing Working Capital, fairly present, in allmaterial respects, the consolidated working capital position of the Business, excluding the Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities, as of the Closing Date without giving effect to any purchase accounting adjustments arising from the sales of Transferred Assets and Purchased Subsidiaries as contemplated by the Agreement.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Exhibit XI or the Agreement to the contrary, the Agreed Principles shall govern in the event and to the extent the Agreed Principles are in conflict with GAAP or the accounting methods, policies, practices, procedures, classifications, judgments and estimation methodology used in the preparation of the Financial Statements. The Reference Statement represents solely a good faith attempt by the parties to illustrate a calculationof Net Working Capital as of the date of such statement as if it were the Closing Date on the basis set forth herein and is intended as an aid in interpreting these Agreed Principles (including especially as to the general categories of items specifically enumerated as included) but shall not be binding, and shall not be deemed to modify in any respect the Agreed Principles, GAAP and the accounting methods, policies, practices, procedures, classifications, judgments and estimation methodology used in the preparation of the Financial Statements.

Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary (except as provided in Section c below), the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement of Closing Working Capital shall not reflect any Tax assets or Tax liabilities (to the extent a Seller or its Affiliate has indemnified or is obligated to indemnify the Purchasers or their Affiliates therefor), in each case, whether current, deferred or otherwise.

The following accounting policies apply to the determination of Closing Working Capital.

| **a.** | **Trade and Distributor Receivable Reserve** |
|--------|----------------------------------------------|

The trade and distributor accounts receivable reserve shall equal the sum of (i) specific gross trade and distributor accounts receivable identified as being uncollectible and (ii) the remaining gross trade and distributor accounts receivable greater than 180 days past due and 50% of the remaining gross trade and distributor accounts receivable greater than 90 days past due but less than 180 days past due. For the avoidance of doubt, all reserves for trade and distributor receivables shall be reflected on a gross basis with respect to value added taxes, goods and services taxes, and similar taxes.

Attached is a schedule of those employees    either already made redundant since May 21, 2004 or currently anticipated    by the Sellers to be made redundant prior to the Closing whom Reuters currently    anticipates would be made redundant by Reuters following the Closing. However,    nothing herein or in the attached schedules constitutes an admission or consent    by Reuters that the Sellers can take any action, including termination of    any such employees, prohibited by any provision of the Purchase Agreement.    For each employee listed on the attached Schedule, Reuters will pay the Sellers    at Closing the amount indicated in the column “Total Severance Cost    Savings”, provided that (i) such employee was severed by the Sellers    prior to Closing, (ii) the information contained on the attached Schedule    is reasonably confirmed by Reuters to be accurate, and (iii) the conditions    set forth below under “General” are satisfied. Any inaccuracies    will be subject to revision and recalculation of the amount payable. The    payment amounts have been calculated as follows: 

               Anticipated      Costs

     For    each employee severed in a Seller Restructuring Action (other than an employee    entitled to receive severance under the severance pay policies or practices    established in Asia or Europe, which shall be calculated pursuant to Attachment    A to this Exhibit (the “Asia/EMEA Policies”)), the    Restructuring Cost Savings of such severance would be the sum of (i) the    severance that would have been payable to such employee by the Business Entities    had such employee remained employed through the Closing Date (assumed to    be June 30, 2005), up to a maximum calculated pursuant to the following formula    (based on start date and base salary as set forth in the attached Schedule,    except that employees hired after the date of the Purchase Agreement shall    be based on their actual start date and base salary at the Closing Date):

|       | **Employees under employment          contracts –** the minimum aggregate payments which would have          been required under the terms of the contract, provided such contract          was disclosed to the Purchasers prior to the execution of the Purchase          Agreement, assuming the Closing Date was the date of termination. |

and (ii) [* * *] (determined per above) for each such employee.

     For    each employee severed in a Seller Restructuring Action who is entitled to    receive severance under the Asia/EMEA Policies, the Restructuring Cost Savings    of such severance would be the severance that would have been payable to    such employee by the Business Entities under the Asia/EMEA Policies had such    employee remained employed through the Closing Date (assumed to be June 30,    2005).

          General

1.      Only    applies to Business Employees set forth on Attachment B to this    Exhibit or whose termination is approved by Reuters. Does not apply to Business    Employees who voluntarily resign from the Company or who are terminated following    expression of intent to resign.

2.      The    Sellers must receive, and transfer to Reuters the benefit of, a full unconditional    release from such employee in connection with his/her termination, and if    the employee is under an employment contract he/she must have abided by any    other obligations of the contract through the Closing Date.
