upon each of the Warranties notwithstanding any investigations which the Purchaser or
any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors may have made and
notwithstanding any information regarding the Company which may otherwise have come
into the possession of any of the foregoing;
	 
	 	(b)	 	undertakes to indemnify the Purchaser against all claims, liabilities,
losses, costs and expenses the Purchaser may suffer or incur or which may be made

 - 6 - 









 






	 	(i)	 	the settlement of any claim that any of the Warranties are
untrue or misleading or have been breached;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	any legal proceedings in which the Purchaser claims that any
of the Warranties are untrue or misleading or have been breached and in which
judgment is given for the Purchaser; or

	5.02	 	Without prejudice to any other rights and remedies available at any time to the Purchaser
(including but not limited to any right to damages for any loss suffered by the Purchaser) the
Purchaser may (if the effect of any breach of any Warranty is that the Company, or any of its
assets, is worth less than its value would have been if there had been no such breach or that
the Company is or will be under a liability or an increased or substituted liability which
would not have subsisted if there had been no such breach) by notice to the Vendor require it
to make good to the Company the diminution in the value of the asset or all loss occasioned by
such liability or increased or substituted liability by a payment in cash to the relevant
company or to pay to the Purchaser an amount equal to the diminution thereby caused in the
value of the Sale Interest. If any such payment gives rise to a liability to Taxation on the
part of the relevant company or the Purchaser as the recipient thereof, such payment shall be
increased by such an amount as shall ensure that, after payment of such Taxation, the
recipient shall have received an amount equal to the payment otherwise required hereby to be
paid.

provided to the contrary) shall not be limited or restricted by reference to or inference from

owner for the time being of any of the Sale Interest purchased by the Purchaser hereunder and
accordingly any loss which is sustained by such beneficial owner for the time being of the
Sale Interest in consequence of any of the Warranties being untrue or misleading or breached
shall be deemed to be that of the Purchaser and the Purchaser may bring proceedings and
exercise any other remedy on the footing that it has been the beneficial owner of the Sale
Interest at all times from Completion.
	 
	5.05	 	The Vendor shall not be liable in respect of any breach of the Warranties after the earlier
of (i) 31 August 2008; and (ii) the Purchaser ceasing to be the controlling shareholder (as
defined under the Listing Rules) of the




 - 7 - 









 






	 	 	Vendor, except in respect of those matters which have

arises by reason of any act or omission effected by the Purchaser or the Company after
Completion (other than action taken by the Purchaser or on its behalf in establishing that any
of the Warranties being untrue or misleading or breached) or by reason of any retrospective
change in the law coming into force after the date hereof or to the extent such liability
arises or is increased by an increase in rates of taxation after the date hereof with
retrospective effect.
	 
	5.09	 	The Vendor hereby undertakes that it will from time to time and at any time prior to the
earlier of (i) 31 August 2008; and (ii) the Purchaser ceasing to be the controlling
shareholder of the Vendor, forthwith disclose in writing to the Purchaser any event, fact or
circumstance which may become known to them after the date hereof and which is materially
inconsistent with any of the Warranties or which could reasonably be expected materially to
affect a purchaser for value of any of the Sale Interest or which may entitle the Purchaser to
make any claim under this Agreement.
	 
	5.10	 	The Vendor shall not, and shall procure that the Company shall not, do or allow or procure
any act or omission before Completion which would constitute a breach of any of the Warranties
if they were given at Completion or which would make any of the Warranties inaccurate or
misleading if they were so given.
	 
	5.11	 	It is hereby agreed between the parties hereto that no party will have the right to rescind
this Agreement.
	 
	5.12	 	The Vendor shall not (in the event of any claim being made against the Vendor in connection
