         the  Purchaser  into  the  affairs  of the  Group  or by the  Purchaser
         rescinding,  or  failing  to  rescind  this  Agreement,  or  failing to

         right or remedy shall preclude any further or other exercise.

         to the knowledge,  information or belief of each of the Vendors that it
         has made full enquiry into the subject matter of that Warranty and that
         they do not have  actual  or  constructive  knowledge,  information  or
         belief that the  subject  matter of that  Warranty  may not be correct,
         complete or accurate.

         may rescind this Agreement by written notice to each of the Vendors.

9.9      The  Purchaser's  rights under the above clauses are in addition to and
         without prejudice to all other rights and remedies  available to it and
         its  exercise of or its failure to exercise its rights under any of the
         above clauses shall not  constitute a waiver of or prejudice any of its
         other rights under this Agreement.

         for  previous  periods  delivered  to the  Purchaser  and the  trend of
         profits  shown by them have not  (except  as  disclosed  in them)  been
         affected  to  a  material  extent  by   inconsistencies  of  accounting
         practices,  by the  inclusion  of  non-recurring  items  of  income  or
         expenditure,  by  transactions  entered into  otherwise  than on normal

         Sheet Date.
