determined or agreed to be payable to Newco 2 and/or Getty Images in respect of such Claim (such excess being the “Over-Retention”), within 5 Business Days
of such determination or settlement Newco 1 and Getty Images shall procure that there is released from the Escrow Account to Newco 1 an amount equal to the Over-Retention but only to the extent that the balance then standing to the credit of the
Escrow Account is greater than the sum of (i) the aggregate of all outstanding Finally Retained Amounts and (ii) the amount by which any Revised Estimates exceed the applicable aggregate Finally Retained Amounts.

  

	 	4.6	Upon the final settlement or determination of any Claim(s) the parties shall procure that there is released to Newco 2 and/or Getty Images, as the case may be, from the Escrow Account such
amount(s) as is equal to the amounts agreed or determined to be payable to Newco 2 and/or Getty Images as the case may be in respect of such Claim(s) or, if the amount then standing to the balance of the Escrow Account is less than the amounts
agreed or determined to be payable to Newco 2 and/or Getty Images (as the case may be) in respect of such Claim(s), Newco 1 and Newco 2 shall procure that the balance then standing to the credit of the Escrow Account is released to Newco 2 and/or
Getty Images (as the case may be) and such release shall be applied in or towards the discharge of the amount agreed or determined to be payable to Newco 2 and/or Getty Images (as the case may be) in respect of such Claim(s) and for the avoidance of
doubt the Warrantors shall remain jointly and severally liable to pay to Newco 2 and/or Getty Images (as the case may be) any further amount due to Newco 2 and/or Getty Images (as the case may be) in respect of any such Claim(s). For the avoidance
of doubt, the provisions of Clause 9 and Schedule 4 of this Agreement with respect to any such Claim shall apply. 

  

	 	4.7	Newco 1 and Getty Images shall promptly give to the Escrow Agents (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) all such written instructions as shall be necessary to give effect to the provisions of
this clause 4. 

  

	 	4.8	Interest or capital gains which accrue on the Escrow Account shall follow the principal sum and be released to the party or parties entitled thereto contemporaneously with, and

 21 

	5.	COMPLETION ACCOUNTS 

  

	 	5.1	Newco 1 and Newco 2 shall jointly procure as soon as practicable and in any event within 45 calendar days after the Completion Date that a draft of the Completion Accounts are prepared by
Newco 2 or Newco 2’s Accountants: 

  

	 	5.1.1	on the basis of Irish GAAP; and 

  

	 	5.1.2	with due and proper provision for the reinstatement liability in respect of the Property; 

 and submitted to the Sellers’ Accountants for their consideration. The Sellers and Newco 1 shall, and shall procure (insofar as it is within their powers of procurement and using commercially reasonable endeavours) that Mr
John O’Brien (currently Chief Financial Officer of the Companies) shall provide all necessary co-operation, advice and assistance to Newco 2 and Newco 2’s Accountants for the purpose of preparing the draft of the Completion Accounts within
such 45 day period. 
  

	 	5.2	Newco 1 and Newco 2 shall respectively disclose all information necessary to prepare the draft Completion Accounts and the Sellers’ Accountants shall be given access to the working
papers of Newco 2 or Newco 2’s Accountants, as applicable, in relation to the Completion Accounts. 

  

	 	5.3	 Newco 1 and Newco 2 shall use their respective reasonable endeavours to agree the draft Completion Accounts as soon as reasonably practicable. Failing agreement within 30
days of the receipt by the Sellers’ Accountants of the draft Completion Accounts, any dispute or difference relating thereto shall be referred for final determination to an independent accountant nominated jointly by Newco 1 and Newco 2 or,
failing such nomination, at the request of either party, by the President for the time being of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ireland (the “Independent Accountant”). The instruction to appoint such an Independent Accountant
shall be issued jointly by Newco 1 and Newco 2 no later than 40 calendar days from the receipt by the Sellers’ Accountant of the draft Completion Accounts. The Independent Accountant shall be instructed to render his decision 

  

 22 

	 	 
within 30 calendar days of his nomination or appointment and shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator and the laws of arbitration shall not apply and (in the
absence of manifest error) his decision (which shall be communicated in writing to Newco 1 and Newco 2) shall be final and binding on Newco 1 and Newco 2. The fees and costs of the Independent Accountant shall be borne and paid as to 50% by Newco 1
and as to 50% by Newco 2 unless the Independent Accountant shall direct otherwise, in which case they shall be borne as he directs. 

  

	 	5.4	Newco 2 shall procure that the draft Completion Accounts as so agreed or determined shall be audited by Newco 2’s Accountants. 

  

	 	5.5	Cash Flow 

  

	 	5.5.1	The Sellers warrant and undertake to Newco 2 and Getty Images that on the Completion Date the Remaining Cash Reserve shall stand to the credit of the Company’s bank account [details].
For the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of this Clause 5.5, reference to “the Company” shall be taken to be to the Companies on a consolidated basis. 

  

	 	5.5.2	If during the Period, the Cash Reserves Balance continuously exceeds €50,000, then the sum of €50,000 shall be paid by the Company to the Sellers no later than the fifth Business Day following the agreement of the Completion Accounts. 

  

	 	5.5.3	If at all times during the Period, the Cash Reserves Balance falls below €50,000 then €0 will be released to the Sellers. 

  

	 	5.5.4	If at any point in time during the Period, the Cash Reserves Balance falls below €0 then the Sellers shall
pay to Newco 2 or the Company, at Newco 2’s election, an amount in cash equal to the greatest amount by which the Cash Reserves Balance falls below €0 during
the Period, no later than the fifth Business Day following the agreement of the Completion Accounts. 

  

	 	5.5.5	Without prejudice to the foregoing, the following are examples of the workings of this clause for illustration purposes only: 

 Example 1 – application of Clause 5.5.2 
  

 23 

 If during the Period, the lowest Cash Reserves Balance recorded is €
60,000 THEN the sum of €50,000 is paid by the Company to the Sellers (because the Cash Reserves Balance at all times is
more than €50,000). 
 Example 2 – application of Clause
5.5.3 
 If during the Period, the lowest Cash Reserves Balance recorded is €49,000 at any one point, THEN €0 is paid to the Sellers (because the Cash Reserves Balance has fallen below €50,000 during the Period). 
 Example 3 – application of Clause 5.5.4 
 If during the Period, the lowest Cash Reserves Balance recorded is a negative balance of €89,000, at any one point, THEN the sum of €89,000 is paid by the Sellers to the Company or to Newco 2. 
  

	 	5.6	Working Capital 

  

	 	5.6.1	The Warrantors covenant and undertake to Newco 2 and Getty Images that as at the Completion Date and as determined by the Completion Accounts, the Company will have positive net working
capital (inclusive of cash but excepting the Remaining Cash Reserve), where net working capital is calculated as current assets (inclusive of cash) less current liabilities. The terms current assets and current liabilities shall have the meaning
ascribed to those terms by Irish GAAP. 

  

	 	5.6.2	If the Company has negative working capital as at the Completion Date (as calculated above), then the Sellers shall pay to Newco 2 or the Company, at Newco 2’s election, an amount in
cash equal to the absolute value of the negative working capital no later than the fifth Business Day following agreement of the Completion Accounts. 

  

 24 

	6.	COMPLETION 

  

	 	6.1	Completion shall take place at the offices of the Sellers’ Solicitors immediately following execution of this Agreement.

	7.	WARRANTIES

	 	7.3	The Warranties shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding Completion. 

  

	 	7.4	Each Warranty shall be separate and independent and, save as expressly provided, shall not be limited by reference to any other Warranty or any other provision in this Agreement.

  

	 	7.5	Where any statement in the Warranties is qualified by the expression “to the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Sellers” or any similar expression such Warranty
shall be deemed to have been given by the Warrantors to the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Sellers after making due and careful enquiries of all relevant third parties. Without limitation a matter shall be treated as within the
knowledge, information and belief of the Sellers if it is within the knowledge, information or belief of any of (i) each other of them, or (ii) any individual reporting directly to either of the Sellers at any time between 31 December
2004 and the Completion Date where any statement in the Warranties is qualified by reference to the awareness of the Sellers, reference to such awareness shall be deemed to refer to their actual awareness. 

  

 25 

	 	7.6	In applying any Warranty in respect of the Business carried on outside Ireland any reference to any Irish legal term for any action, remedy, method of judicial proceeding, legal document,
legal status, court, official or any legal concept or thing shall be deemed to include what most nearly approximates in that jurisdiction to the Irish term. 

  

	 	7.7	The Warrantors acknowledge that Newco 2 and Getty Images have each entered into this Agreement in reliance inter alia on representations in the terms of the Warranties and that Newco 2 and
Getty Images have each been induced by those representations to enter into this Agreement. 

  

	 	7.8	None of the Warranties will be deemed to be in any way modified or discharged by reason of any investigation or inquiry made or to be made on behalf of Newco 2 or Getty Images and without
prejudice to the provisions of paragraph 11.4 of Schedule 4 hereto no information of which Newco 2 has knowledge (actual or constructive) other than by reason of its fair disclosure in the Disclosure Letter will prejudice any claim which Newco 2 or
Getty Images may be entitled to bring or will operate to reduce any amount recoverable by Newco 2 or Getty Images under this Agreement. 

  

	8.	REPRESENTATION REGARDING DISCLOSURE DOCUMENTS 

  

	 	8.1	The Warrantors jointly and severally represent to Newco 2 and Getty Images that the contents of the Disclosure Documents are true, accurate and complete in all material respects and are not
misleading and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Clause 8.1 shall not be construed or take effect as a warranty.

	 	9.2	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the provisions of this Clause 9, Schedule 4 and the limitations in the Tax Deed shall not apply to any claim made against the Warrantors
which arises or is delayed as a result of any fraud, dishonesty, wilful concealment or wilful omission by or on behalf of the Warrantors.

 SCHEDULE 4 - LIMITATION ON CLAIMS 
  

	1.	INTERPRETATION 

 In this Schedule (unless the context otherwise requires)
“determination” means a final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction or a final award or decision of a duly appointed expert and “determined” shall be construed accordingly. 
  

	2.	TIME LIMITS 

  

	 	2.1	Subject to paragraph 2.3 below, the Warrantors shall not be liable for any Claim unless written notice of the Claim has been given to it by or on behalf of Newco 2 or Getty Images and:

  

	 	2.1.1	written notice in respect of a claim under the Tax Warranties or the Tax Deed, must be given no later than the seventh anniversary of the Completion Date; and 

  

	 	2.1.2	written notice in respect of any other claim, must be given on or before the date falling 2 years and 3 calendar months from the Completion Date (the “Escrow Claim Period”).

  

	 	2.2	As soon as reasonably practicable after satisfaction of both of the following conditions, namely: 

  

	 	2.2.1	that any person at the level of Chief Executive Officer, Senior Vice President or Vice President within Getty Images has become actually aware that circumstances giving rise to a Claim have
arisen; and 

  

	 	2.2.2	it is likely that the Claim will exceed US$25,000 in the case of a claim for breach of the Warranties, 

 then Newco 2 or Getty Images, as the case may be shall inform the Warrantors of that fact in writing giving reasonable details in relation to the concerned parties,
nature of any dispute and the relevant circumstances. 
  

	 	2.3	 The Warrantors shall have no liability in respect of any Claim if proceedings have not been commenced within 9 months of the service of the written notice under paragraph 2.2
and for this purpose proceedings shall not be deemed to have been commenced unless 

  

 97 

	 	 
they have been properly issued and validly served upon either of the Warrantors in accordance with Clause 20.3 of this Agreement, provided that this 9 month period
shall not commence in the following circumstances:- 

  

	 	2.3.1	in relation to a Claim arising from a Third Party Claim (as defined below) until such Third Party Claim has been satisfied, settled, determined or withdrawn; or 

  

	 	2.3.2	in relation to a contingent, unascertainable or unquantifiable Claim (as referred to in paragraph 8 of this Schedule) until such Claim has become an actual liability or capable of being
quantified; 

 provided always that the Warrantors shall have no liability whatsoever in respect of any Claim unless proceedings against
the Warrantors have been properly issued and validly served on the Warrantors no later than the twentieth anniversary of this Agreement. 
  

	3.	UPPER LIMITS

shall be limited to the amount of US$50,000,000. 
  

	4.	LOWER LIMITS

amount equal to or greater than US$475,000 (the “Threshold”) in which event the Warrantor shall, subject to the other limits contained in this Schedule, be liable for the full amount of such Claims (and not just the amount by which
such aggregate amount exceeds the Threshold). For the avoidance of doubt, one or more Claims arising out of the same course of action or the same circumstances will exceed the Threshold if when aggregated together their total value exceeds the
Threshold. 

  

	 	4.2	The Warrantors shall not be liable for any Claim which does not exceed US$25,000 (a “De Minimis Claim”), provided always that in assessing whether the Threshold has been
exceeded each Claim shall be taken into account. Any De Minimis Claim shall count towards deeming the Threshold to have been exceeded, but the Warrantors shall have no liability in respect thereof, provided that any initial classification of any
Claim as a De Minimis Claim is without prejudice to its reclassification following any increase in the Warrantors’ liability. 

  

 98 

	5.	DOUBLE CLAIMS 

  

	 	5.1	The Warrantors shall not be liable for any breach of the Warranties to the extent that the loss occasioned by the fact, matter, event or circumstance giving rise to such breach has been
recovered under the Tax Deed or the Indemnity.

recovered under the Warranties or the Indemnity. 

  

	 	5.3	The Warrantors shall not be liable for any Claim under the Indemnity to the extent that the loss occasioned by the fact, matter, event or circumstance giving rise to such Claim has been
recovered under the Warranties or the Tax Deed. 

  

	 	5.4	If the same fact, matter, event or circumstance gives rise to more than one Claim for breach of any of the Warranties, the Tax Deed or the Indemnity, Newco 2 and Getty Images shall not be
entitled to recover more than once in respect of such fact, matter, event or circumstance. 

  

	6.	THIRD PARTY CLAIMS 

  

	 	6.1	In respect of any fact, matter, event or circumstance concerning a third party which gives rise to a Claim and which is notified to the Warrantors pursuant to paragraph 2.2 above (a
“Third Party Claim”) Newco 2 shall (and shall procure, where relevant, that the relevant member of the Getty Images’ Group shall): 

  

	 	6.1.1	not settle or compromise the Third Party Claim or make any admission in respect thereof which will materially and adversely affect the Warrantors’ liability without the prior written
agreement of the Warrantors (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) as to any reasonable ways in which the Third Party Claim might be avoided, disputed, resisted, mitigated, settled, compromised, defended or appealed;

  

	 	6.1.2	 allow the Warrantors and their professional advisers to investigate the Third Party Claim (including whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect thereof) and
make available to the Warrantors and their professional advisers, at the Warrantors’ expense, such information and assistance (including access to properties, management, records, papers, documents and data) as they may reasonably require;
subject always that Newco 2 and/or 

  

 99

to claim legal privilege in respect of the same; 

  

	 	6.1.3	have sole conduct of all proceedings relating to the Third Party Claim in the name of Newco 2 and/or, where appropriate, of any member of the Getty Images’ Group and to appoint
solicitors or other professional advisers. 

  

	 	6.2	The Warrantors shall, acting reasonably, at the Warrantors’ expense, take all such action and provide Newco 2 and/or other member of the Getty Images Group with all such information and
assistance as Newco 2 and/or other member of the Getty Images Group may reasonably request in order for Newco 2 and/or other member of the Getty Images Group to investigate, negotiate, avoid, dispute, resist, mitigate, compromise, settle, defend or
appeal against any Third Party Claim. 

  

	 	6.3	Newco 2 and Getty Images shall take reasonable steps to deal with any Third Party Claim within a reasonable time period. 

  

	7.	REIMBURSEMENT OF CLAIMS 

  

	 	7.1	Without prejudice to paragraphs 7.2 and 7.3 of this Schedule 4, the Warrantors shall not be liable for any Claim under the Warranties, the Indemnity or the Tax Deed to the extent that the
Claim has been or is made good or is otherwise compensated for otherwise than by Newco 2 or Getty Images or any member of the Getty Images Group or any insurance maintained by any member of the Getty Images Group. 

  

	 	7.2	 If the Warrantors at any time pay to Newco 2, Getty Images and/or the Companies an amount pursuant to a Claim and Newco 2, Getty Images and/or the Companies subsequently
become entitled to recover from some other person (not including any member of the Getty Images Group or any insurance maintained by any of them) any sum (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief or otherwise) in respect of the subject matter of
such Claim, Newco 2 and Getty Images, shall, and shall procure that the Companies shall take reasonable steps to enforce such right of recovery and following any such recovery shall forthwith repay to the Warrantors so much of the amount paid by any
of them to any member of the Getty Images Group or to one of the Companies as does not exceed the sum recovered from such other person less all reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Companies or any member of the Getty Images Group
in recovering that sum from such other person. If any amount is repaid to the 

  

 100 

	 	 
Warrantors by the Newco 2 or Getty Images or any of the Companies pursuant to this paragraph, an amount equal to the amount so repaid shall be deemed not to have been
subject to a Claim against the Warrantors solely for the purposes of paragraph 9 of this Schedule 4. 

  

	 	7.3	Where having discharged any Claim, the Warrantors request the assignment to any of them of any right of Newco 2 or any member of the Getty Images Group to make recovery in whole or in part
from any third party, Newco 2 and/or Getty Images will assign or procure the assignment to such Warrantors (subject to payment by the Warrantors of associated costs and expenses) of such right and, if that right is not legally capable of effective
assignment, will, subject to being indemnified to the reasonable satisfaction of Newco 2 and Getty Images against any associated costs and expenses, pursue such Claim on behalf of the Warrantors and pay over to the Warrantors all amounts recovered
up to the amount of the relevant Claim previously discharged by him. 

  

	8.	UNASCERTAINABLE CLAIMS 

  

	 	8.1	The Warrantors shall not be liable for any Claim which arises by reason of a liability which, at the time when written notice of the Claim is given to it, is contingent only or is otherwise
not capable of being quantified. The Warrantors shall not be liable to make any payment in respect of a Claim unless and until the liability becomes an actual liability or (as the case may be) becomes capable of being quantified, and then only if
Newco 2 and/or Getty Images has served the appropriate notice in accordance with paragraph 2.2 of this Schedule 4. 

  

	 	8.2	Newco 2 and Getty Images shall take reasonable steps to ascertain or quantify a possible Claim within a reasonable time period. 

  

	9.	REDUCTION IN CONSIDERATION

respect of any Claim shall be treated as a pro tanto reduction in the Consideration. 
  

	10.	TAX DEED 

 If any limits on the liability of the Warrantors under the
Tax Deed or the Deed of Indemnity conflict with the provisions of this Schedule then the provisions of the Tax Deed or the Deed of Indemnity (as the case may be) shall prevail. 
  

 101 

	11.	FURTHER LIMITATIONS

	 	11.1.1	specific provision was made for such matter in the Accounts and such provision disclosed on the face of the Accounts;
