under that paragraph. 

  

	13.14	In recognition that the Seller does not wish to provide Warranties in respect of ADS and VDS as such companies are only 51% subsidiaries of the Company and are not
actively managed by the Company, the parties have instead agreed that the Seller will provide an indemnity to the Buyer in the terms set out in clause 13.16. 

  
 34 

	13.15	Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provisions of this clause 13, the Warranties do not relate to ADS or VDS and for the purposes of clause 13.1, references in
schedule 2 and part 2 of schedule 3 to “Group Company”, “Group Companies”, “Active Companies” and “Subsidiaries” shall be deemed to exclude ADS and VDS. 

 

	13.16	In relation to ADS and VDS the Seller shall indemnify the Buyer and keep it indemnified, subject only to clause 13.17, to the same measure and quantum (no more and no
less) as if the Warranties given by the Seller related to ADS and VDS as if references in schedule 2 and part 2 of schedule 3, to “Group Company”, “Group Companies”, “Active Companies” and “Subsidiaries”
included ADS and VDS. 

  

	13.17	In determining the measure and quantum of the indemnity provided for in clause 13.16: 

 

	 	13.17.1	all of the provisions of this Agreement relating to Warranties shall apply as if the ADS/VDS Indemnity Claim were a Warranty Claim (including, where applicable, a
General Warranty Claim) or a claim under the Tax Warranties (as the case may be) and not a claim for indemnity: 

  

	 	13.17.1.1	including, without limitation, and for the avoidance of doubt all other provisions of this clause 13, the provisions of part 4 of schedule 3 in relation to Tax
Warranties and the provisions of schedule 5; 

  

	 	13.17.1.2	but excluding paragraph 2.2 of schedule 5; and 

  

	 	13.17.1.3	but excluding clause 26.4 and paragraphs 1 and 7.3 of schedule 5, insofar as they would prevent limitation or exclusion of liability in the case of warranties or
representations but not indemnities; and 

  

	 	13.17.1.4	the Buyer shall have the same duty to mitigate its loss as if the ADS/VDS Indemnity Claim were a Warranty Claim or a claim under the Tax Warranties (as the case may be)
and not a claim for indemnity; 

  

	 	13.17.2	the Seller shall not be liable in respect of any ADS/VDS Indemnity Claims or ADS/VDS Tax Covenant Claims unless the Seller has an aggregate liability in respect of all
ADS/VDS Indemnity Claims and ADS/VDS Tax Covenant Claims (excluding all claims for which the Seller has no liability by reason of paragraph 2.1 of schedule 5) in excess of £100,000 excluding any liability for costs and interest (in which
event, the Seller shall be liable for the full amount (including, in addition, any liability for reasonable costs and interest) and not merely the excess over such amount). 

 

	13.18	Any ADS/VDS Indemnity Claim brought by the Buyer shall be for damages for breach of contract and shall not constitute an action for a debt. 

  
 35 

	13.19	The Seller shall at all times after Completion indemnify the Buyer and each Group Company (and for this purpose the Buyer is acting as agent and trustee for each Group
Company) and keep each of them fully indemnified on demand against all Losses suffered or incurred by the Buyer or any Group Company on or after 27 September 2011 arising out of the winding-up petition filed on 9 September 2011 at Leeds
District Registry on behalf of Platform Hire Ltd. 

  

	13.20	The Seller shall at all times after Completion indemnify the Buyer and each Group Company (and for this purpose the Buyer is acting as agent and trustee for each Group
Company) and keep each of them fully indemnified on demand against all Losses suffered or incurred by the Buyer or any Group Company arising out of the UK Border Agency's visit to Wembley and Tamworth (each as defined in part 6 of schedule 2) on
29 September 2011 and the arrest of personnel (including agency workers) on that day. 

  

	13.21	The parties agree that: 

  

	 	13.21.1	a claim under clause 13.20 shall be deemed to be a “Claim” for the purposes of clause 7 and in connection therewith shall be deemed to be included in the
definition of “Claim” as such term is used in the Loan Note Instruments but not for any other purpose under this Agreement; and 

  

	 	13.21.2	paragraphs 5 and 6.1 of schedule 5 (but not any other paragraphs of schedule 5) shall apply to a claim under clause 13.20. 

 

	14.	TAXATION 

 The provisions
of schedule 3 shall apply from the date of this Agreement. 
  

	15.	LOAN NOTE INSTRUMENTS AND FLOWERING SHAREHOLDERS SPAS 

 The Buyer undertakes to the Seller that it shall not make any variation of any provision of the Loan Note Instruments or Flowering Shareholders SPAs (including any acceleration of any payment under any
Loan Note Instrument or the Flowering Shareholders SPAs) without the prior written consent of the Seller. 
  

	16.	PAYMENTS AND INTEREST 

  

	16.1	Subject to clause 16.3, payments to be made to the Seller under this Agreement (other than through the issue of Loan Notes, in relation to which payment shall be as
provided in the relevant Loan Note Instrument) shall be made in pounds sterling by telegraphic transfer of immediately available funds to such account as is notified in writing to the Buyer from time to time on at least three Business Days' notice.

  

	16.2	Subject to clause 16.3, payments to be made to the Buyer under this Agreement shall be made in pounds sterling by telegraphic transfer of immediately available funds to
such account as is notified in writing from time to time to the Seller at least three Business Days' notice. 

  

	16.3	Payment of any sum to a party's solicitors will discharge the obligations of the relevant party to pay the sum in question, and that party shall not be concerned to see
the application of the monies so paid. 

  
 36 

	16.4	Interest shall accrue on any amount not paid on the due date for payment pursuant to this Agreement at the rate of 2% above the base rate for the time being of Barclays
Bank plc. 

  

	16.5	Each payment to be made by the Seller under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of all deductions, withholdings, counterclaims or set-off of any kind except for
those required by law. 

  

	16.6	In the event that: 

  

	 	16.6.1	any deduction or withholding is required by law to be made from any sum payable by the Seller to the Buyer under this Agreement, the Seller shall be obliged to pay such
increased sum as will, after the deduction or withholding has been made, leave the Buyer with the same amount as it would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such requirement to make a deduction or withholding; and

  

	 	16.6.2	any sum paid or payable to the Buyer under this Agreement (the “original sum”) is or will be chargeable to Tax, the Seller shall be obliged to pay such
sum as will ensure that, after payment of the Tax, there shall be left an amount equal to the original sum and for these purposes a sum shall be regarded as chargeable to Tax in circumstances where it would have been chargeable to Tax but for some
Relief available to the Buyer; 

  

	 	16.6.3	the Seller makes an increased payment pursuant to paragraph 16.6.1 or 16.6.2 in respect of which the Buyer receives a repayment of Tax or is granted any credit against
or relief for any Tax payable by it that it would not otherwise have received or been granted, the Buyer shall reimburse the Seller such amount as will leave the Buyer in no worse position than it would have been had there been no such deduction or
withholding. The Buyer shall promptly notify the Seller of such credit, relief or repayment when received or granted (as applicable) and such reimbursement will be made no later than five Business Days after the Buyer receives or is granted such
credit, relief or repayment (as applicable). 

  

	16.7	In the event that any deduction or withholding is required by any United States legislation to be made from any sum payable by the Buyer or the Guarantor to the Seller
under this Agreement, the Buyer shall be obliged to pay such increased sum as will, after the deduction or withholding has been made, leave the Seller with the same amount as it would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such requirement
to make a deduction or withholding. 

  

	17.	BOOKS AND RECORDS 

  

	17.1	The Buyer shall ensure that all records (whether in electronic or in any other form) of the Buyer relating to the business of any Group Company which are or are likely
to be relevant in connection with any Warranty Claim or other claim against the Seller under this Agreement are retained for so long as any actual or threatened Warranty Claim or other claim remains outstanding. 

  
 37 

	17.2	The Seller shall not use or disclose any Business Information and shall use its best endeavours to ensure that none of its Connected Persons shall do so.

  

	17.3	Clause 17.2 does not apply: 

  

	 	17.3.1	to the disclosure of any Business Information which has entered the public domain otherwise than by reason of a breach of any obligation of the Seller;

  

	 	17.3.2	to the disclosure of Business Information to a director, officer or employee of the Buyer or any Group Company whose function requires him to have the Business
Information; or 

  

	 	17.3.3	to the disclosure of Business Information required to be disclosed by law. 

 

	17.4	The Seller agrees that: 

  

	 	17.4.1	all records (whether in electronic or in any other form) of the Seller relating to the business of any Group Company which are or are likely to be relevant in
connection with any Warranty Claim or other claim against the Seller under this Agreement or any claims against the Buyer or any Group Company by any third party are retained for so long as any actual or threatened Warranty Claim or other claim
remains outstanding; and 

  

	 	17.4.2	without limitation to the foregoing, it will at any time and from time to time after Completion give or disclose to the Buyer on the Buyer's request all Business
Information which is within its possession or knowledge. 

  

	18.	ASSIGNMENT

Agreement, at law or in equity, including by way of security or declaration of trust. Any purported assignment in breach of this clause shall be void and confer no rights on the purported assignee. 

 

	18.2	The benefit of, or any right or interest in or under or arising from this Agreement may be assigned by the Buyer at any time to any member of the Buyer's Group save
that any assignment so permitted shall provide that, immediately prior to the assignee ceasing to be a member of the Buyer's Group, the assignee shall re-assign the benefit, or any right or interest assigned, to the Buyer or another member of the
Buyer's Group and provided that the liability of the Seller to any assignee shall not be greater than its liability to the Buyer if that assignment had not occurred. 

 

	18.3	The benefit of, or any right of interest in or under or arising from, this Agreement may be assigned by the Seller at any time to its shareholders and/or to
beneficiaries of its shareholders.

relevant jurisdiction, provided that the party required to make such an announcement or disclosure shall to the extent practicable first notify the other parties and shall take into account their reasonable comments save that once the Buyer or the
Guarantor has undertaken such notification and taken account of such comments on one occasion, it shall be entitled to include in any other announcement or disclosure required by law or any competent regulatory or governmental body wording in the
same or substantially similar form to that included in the first such announcement or disclosure without any further notification being required. 

  

	19.3	Each party shall ensure that any member of its Group or professional adviser (and, in the case of the Seller, each of its Connected Persons) to which it discloses

	2.1	In this schedule “Tax Liability” means: 

  

	 	2.1.1	a liability to make any actual payment or increased payment of or in respect of, or on account of, Tax; 

 

	 	2.1.2	the loss of any Relief which is reflected or shown as an asset in the Accounts (an “Accounts Relief”); and 

 

	 	2.1.3	the use or set off of any Accounts Relief or any Relief which arises in respect of an Event occurring after Completion where the use or set off of that Relief has the
effect of reducing or eliminating any Tax Liability of the Company which would otherwise have given rise to a Tax Claim for which the Seller would have been liable; 

provided that: 
  

	 	2.1.4	in any case falling within paragraph 2.1.2 of this part where the Relief lost: 

 

	 	2.1.4.1	is a right to a repayment of Tax, the Tax Liability shall be treated as being equal to the amount of Tax which would have been repaid but for such loss; or

  

	 	2.1.4.2	is any other Relief, the Tax Liability shall be treated as being an amount equal to the liability of the Company to make an actual payment of Tax which could have been
avoided by the use or set off of that Relief had it not been lost (and assuming the Company had sufficient profits to utilise the Relief in full) provided that the Tax Liability shall not be greater than the amount of the Relief lost multiplied by
the rate of corporation tax payable by the Company at the date of Completion; and 

  

	 	2.1.5	in any case falling within paragraph 2.1.3 of this part, the Tax Liability shall be treated as being equal to the amount of Tax which has been reduced or eliminated in
consequence of the use or set off of the Relief in question.

compromise the Tax Liability or to postpone (so far as legally possible) the payment of the Tax provided that and the Seller hereby agrees to indemnify the Buyer and the Company in respect of any reasonable costs and expenses and additional Tax it
may incur as a result of any such action, information and assistance:

assistance (including affording the Seller (and its duly authorised agents) access to books, accounts and records) as is reasonable and necessary for the Relevant Returns to be prepared and for the Seller to deal with such all matters and
correspondence. 

  

	5.2	All Relevant Returns shall be submitted in draft form to the Buyer (or its duly authorised agents) for comment at least 20 Business Days before it is due to be
submitted to the Tax Authority. The Buyer (or its duly authorised agents) shall comment within ten Business Days of such submission and the Seller shall not unreasonably refuse to adopt all such reasonable comments. The Buyer shall procure that the
Company shall cause the finalised Relevant Returns to be authorised, signed and submitted to the appropriate Tax Authority promptly following receipt of the same from the Seller provided that the Relevant Returns are true and accurate in all
material respects. No material communication (written or otherwise) pertaining to the Relevant Returns shall be sent (or otherwise communicated) to a Tax Authority without first having been approved by the Buyer (such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed).

 124

	 	
doubt, the calculation of any corporation tax instalments). The Straddle Return shall be submitted in draft form to the Seller, or its duly authorised agents, for comment at least 20 Business
Days before it is due to be submitted to the Tax Authority. The Seller (or its duly authorised agents) shall comment within ten Business Days of such submission and the Buyer shall not unreasonably refuse to adopt all such reasonable comments (so
far as they relate to the period or a Tax matter prior to Completion). The Buyer shall procure that the Company shall cause the finalised Straddle Return to be authorised, signed and submitted to the appropriate Tax Authority without amendment (or
with such amendments as the Seller shall agree, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 

  

	5.5	No material communication (written or otherwise) pertaining to the Straddle Return (so far as it relates to the period or a Tax matter prior to Completion and
including, for the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of any corporation tax instalment) shall be sent (or otherwise communicated) to a Tax Authority without first having been approved by the Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed). The Buyer shall afford the Seller (or its duly authorised agents) such access to their books, accounts and records and provide such information as they may reasonably require to enable the Seller to properly review, comment and approve the
Straddle Return or communication relating thereto.

 125

	 	6.3.4	such Tax Liability is Actual Tax Paid (as defined in clause 4.7) or the Seller’s Estimated CT Liability as adjusted by any Shortfall or Excess (as those terms are
defined in clause 4.7); 

  

	 	6.3.5	it has been discharged or made good without cost or loss to the Buyer; or 

  

	 	6.3.6	it arises or is increased as a result of any increase in the rates of Tax announced after the date of this Agreement; or

effect as at Completion or in the accounting reference date of any Group Company; or 

  

	 	4.3.4	any reorganisation of the Buyer’s Group after Completion or change after Completion in the ownership of the Company; or 

 

	 	4.3.5	any act, event, occurrence or omission after the date of this Agreement compelled by law, or from the enactment, amendment or change in the interpretation after that
date, of any statute, regulation or practice of any governmental, regulatory or other body, including a Tax Authority, whether or not having retrospective effect, or any change after the date of this Agreement in the rates of Taxation.

  

	4.4	The Seller shall not be liable in respect of a Warranty Claim to the extent that the matter giving rise to the Warranty Claim would not have arisen but for any act or
omission on or after Completion carried out or omitted by or on behalf of the Buyer or any member of the Buyer’s Group (including any Group Company) otherwise than in the ordinary course of business provided that such act or omission was not
carried out by or under direction of the Seller or as a necessary consequence of any act or omission before Completion of the Seller or a Group Company or was required as a consequence of any law, regulation or statute in effect as at Completion or
contractual obligation entered into prior to Completion by the Seller or a Group Company. 

  

	4.5	The Seller shall not be liable in respect of any Warranty Claim to the extent that the matter giving rise to the Warranty Claim constitutes a contingent liability of
any Group Company or relates to a liability which is not capable of being quantified until such liability becomes an actual liability of that Group Company or becomes capable of being quantified. This paragraph shall not relieve the Buyer from any
obligation to give notice under paragraph 3.1 in respect of any matter which constitutes a contingent liability on the Buyer or relates to a liability which is not capable of being quantified. 

 

	5.	Recovery from third parties 

  

	5.1	Subject to the Buyer’s obligations under the terms of the Insurance Policy, if the Buyer or a Group Company becomes aware of any matter which would or is likely to
give rise to a Warranty Claim or Indemnity Claim and the Buyer or a Group Company has or subsequently acquires a right to make recovery or claim indemnity from any third party (including under any policy of insurance other than the Insurance Policy)
in relation to that matter, then the Buyer shall promptly notify the Seller of the right, and shall (without prejudice to its ability to claim against the Seller) take reasonable steps to seek recovery or claim indemnity from such third party.

  

	5.2	If any sum is paid by or on behalf of the Seller or the Flowering Shareholders in satisfaction of a Warranty Claim or Indemnity Claim, and the Buyer or a Group Company
subsequently makes recovery from any third party (including under any policy of 

  
 134

 insurance other than the Insurance Policy) in respect of the matter giving rise to that
Warranty Claim or Indemnity Claim, subject to the terms of the Insurance Policy, the Buyer shall promptly repay to the Seller’s Solicitors (on behalf of the Seller): 

 

	 	5.2.1	an amount equal to the sum recovered from the third party less any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in recovering the same, the amount of any
increase in the premium payable for the relevant insurance in respect of the next two following annual insurance periods and less any Tax suffered on the receipt; or 

 

	 	5.2.2	if the figure resulting under paragraph 5.2.1 above is greater than the amount paid by the Seller to the Buyer in respect of the Claim, such lesser amount as shall have
been so paid by the Seller. 

  

	5.3	The Buyer shall: 

  

	 	5.3.1	consult with the Seller as soon as reasonably practicable with regard to any actual or proposed developments relating to the matter in question and provide the Seller
with copies of all correspondence and documents in relation to that matter and (on request from time to time) with a status report with regard to the matter; and 

 

	 	5.3.2	where reasonably practicable, not admit liability in respect of or settle or compromise the matter in question (or offer to do so) without prior consultation with the
Seller. 

  

	6.	Conduct of third party claims 

  

	6.1	Where the Buyer gives the Seller notice under paragraph 3.1 or where any such matter arises and notice has not been given, the Buyer shall: 

 

	 	6.1.1	consult with the Seller as soon as reasonably practicable with regard to any actual or proposed developments relating to the matter in question and provide the Seller
with copies of all correspondence and documents in relation to that matter; 

  

	 	6.1.2	where practicable, not admit liability in respect of or settle or compromise the matter in question (or offer to do so) without prior consultation with the Seller;

  

	 	6.1.3	consult with the Seller as to any ways in which the matter might be avoided, disputed, resisted, mitigated, settled, compromised, defended or appealed; and

  

	 	6.1.4	take such action, at the written request of the Seller, as the Seller may reasonably require, to avoid, dispute, resist, mitigate, settle, compromise, defend or appeal
the third party claim, 

  
 135

 provided that the provisions of paragraph 6 shall not apply: 

 

	 	6.1.4.1	if the relevant actions or steps required by the Seller would in the opinion of the Buyer (acting reasonably) materially prejudice the business and/or goodwill of any
of the Group Companies or the ability of the Buyer’s Group to conduct the business of the Company or where the subject matter of the relevant third party claim involves a material customer or supplier of the business of the Group Companies;

  

	 	6.1.4.2	to any matters which would require the Buyer or any Group Company to breach a contractual or legal obligation existing at the date hereof or waive any legal privilege;

  

	 	6.1.4.3	if the relevant actions or steps required by the Seller would conflict with the Buyer’s obligations under the terms of the Insurance Policy;

 and further provided that 
  

	 	6.1.4.3.1	the Seller shall in advance provide the Buyer with such funds as shall be reasonably necessary to meet all costs and expenses incurred as a result of the request by the
Seller; and 

  

	 	6.1.4.3.2	the Seller shall indemnify and keep indemnified the Buyer against all Losses suffered or incurred as a result of any action taken in accordance with this paragraph 6.

  

	6.2	Subject to the Buyer’s obligations under the terms of the Insurance Policy, if there is any dispute between the Seller and the Buyer as to whether liability in
respect of any third party claim should be admitted or whether that claim should be settled or compromised, liability shall not be admitted, and that claim shall not be settled or comprised, other than in accordance with the provisions of this
paragraph. Any such dispute shall be referred to leading counsel agreed between the Seller and the Buyer or in default of agreement on or before the date falling five Business Days after the date on which an individual is first proposed for the
purpose by either the Seller or the Buyer by the President for the time being of the Law Society of England and Wales on the application of either the Seller or the Buyer. Any individual to whom a dispute is so referred shall be instructed in
writing to give a written opinion, as soon as is reasonably practicable, as to which of the courses of conduct proposed by the Buyer and by the Seller is most likely to result in the third party claim being agreed, settled or compromised at the
least cost to the Seller but bearing in mind the matters set out in paragraphs 6.1.4.1, 6.1.4.2. The decision of counsel (who shall act as expert and not as arbitrator) shall be final and binding on the Buyer and the Seller for all purposes.
Counsel’s fees and expenses shall be borne by the Seller and the Buyer as counsel may determine in his sole discretion or, if no such determination is made by the Seller and the Buyer in equal shares. The parties shall then implement
counsel’s decision as soon as is reasonably practicable. 

  

	6.3	References in this paragraph 6 to any claim, action or demand against the Buyer or a Group Company include the assertion of any right to the same, including a right of
termination. 

  
 136

	7.	Remedies 

  

	7.1	The Buyer irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to rescind this Agreement for any misrepresentation, whether or not contained in this Agreement,
and whether or not relating to any Tax matter, or to terminate this Agreement for any other reason other than in accordance with its express terms. 

  

	7.2	The Buyer irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to sue the Seller or any of the Seller’s advisers for misrepresentation, whether in equity,
tort or under the Misrepresentation Act 1967, in respect of any misrepresentation, whether or not contained in this Agreement. The Buyer’s sole remedy in respect of any such misrepresentation shall be an action for breach of contract under the
terms of this Agreement if and to the extent that the misrepresentation in question constitutes a breach of the Warranties (including the Tax Warranties). 

  

	7.3	Without limiting clause 26.4 of this Agreement, nothing in this paragraph 7 shall limit the Seller’s liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or the remedies
available to the Buyer for fraudulent misrepresentation. 

  

	8.	General 

 The Buyer shall
not be entitled to recover any loss or amount more than once under this Agreement. For this purpose, recovery by the Buyer or any Group Company shall be deemed to be a recovery by each of them. 

 

	9.	Insurance Policy 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this schedule 5, in the event that the Buyer recovers under the Insurance Policy in respect of any
Claim, the provisions of paragraphs 3, 5, 6 shall not apply in respect of such Claim but in the case of paragraph 3 this exclusion only applies to the extent of such recovery. 

  
 137

 SCHEDULE 6 
 The Earn-out Periods 
  

	1.	Save as provided in paragraph 3 of this schedule, during the Earn-out Periods, the Buyer shall: 

 

	1.1	ensure that Sukhpal Singh Ahluwalia in his capacity as managing director of ECP has sole responsibility for the day-to-day running and management of the operations of
ECP and its subsidiaries, to the extent consistent with the Business Plan; 

  

	1.2	ensure that ECP shall not terminate the employment of Sukhpal Singh Ahluwalia other than for Cause. For the purposes of this schedule 6 “Cause” shall mean
termination in accordance with clause 17 of the Employment Agreement between ECP and Sukhpal Singh Ahluwalia; 

  

	1.3	ensure that no member of the Buyer’s Group in any other way competes with any Group Company as regards its business as carried on at Completion;

  

	1.4	ensure that the resources reasonably requested by any Group Company (including but not limited to financial, marketing, production, sales and personnel resources) to
enable it to maximise its profits in accordance with the Business Plan are promptly made available to it; 

  

	1.5	not undertake any event which would cause any Group Company to cease to be a subsidiary of the Buyer or any other Group Company, to the extent that such event would be
effected primarily to reduce the 2012 EBITDA or the 2013 EBITDA; 

  

	1.6	ensure that no officer, employee or consultant of any Group Company (other than any officer, employee or consultant appointed by the Guarantor) as at the Completion
Date is seconded to or required to provide services to the Buyer’s Group or (in any material respects) to any other Group Company other than on an arm’s length financial basis; 

 

	1.7	ensure that no Group Company shall enter into any agreement or transaction with a member of the Buyer’s Group which is not at arms’ length or on normal
commercial terms or is otherwise than in the ordinary course of business or which provides for any payment for goods or services at any rate other than one which might reasonably be charged by an independent third party; 

 

	1.8	conduct the business of the Group Companies in accordance with and otherwise adhere to the Business Plan in all material respects; 

 

	1.9	ensure that any alteration to the terms and conditions of employment of the directors of the Group Company or any alteration to their pay or any agreement to pay any

	1.10	not change the accounting reference date of any Group Company; 

  
 138

	1.11	not take any steps or allow any steps to be taken for the winding-up, receivership, administrative receivership or administration of any Group Company;

  

	1.12	not change or allow to be changed the name of ECP or its trading name, save that it shall be designated ECP, an LKQ Corporation affiliate (or company);

  

	1.13	subject to paragraph 1.4, not sell the shares of the Company or all or a substantial part of the business and assets of the Group Companies without the prior written
consent of the Seller. 

  

	2.	The Seller and the Buyer shall each endeavour to procure that Sukhpal Singh Ahluwalia, Maheshkumar Shah and Neil Brown shall disclose to the Seller and the Buyer as
soon as reasonably practicable any proposals for the events referred to in paragraph 1 above to take place and/or any such events actually taking place. 

  

	3.	Save in relation to paragraphs 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3, the Buyer may do or allow anything to be done (the “Proposed Activity”) which would otherwise
contravene paragraph 1 of this schedule provided that before it does so an adjustment is agreed or determined as set out in this paragraph to take account of the effect of the Proposed Activity on the 2012 EBITDA and 2013 EBITDA (as the case may be)
for the year in which Proposed Activity is to be carried out or the parties agree that no adjustment is required. Any such adjustment shall be: 

  

	3.1	agreed between the Seller and the Buyer on or before the date falling 15 Business Days after the date on which the Buyer notifies the Seller of the Proposed Activity
and its proposal for the adjustment; or 

  

	3.2	in the event the parties are not able to agree upon the adjustment within such period, determined by Independent Accountant appointed in accordance with this Agreement
and each party shall promptly provide to the other or the other’s accountants or professional advisers (and to the Independent Accountant) all such documents and information as may reasonably be requested for the purpose of agreeing or
determining the adjustment. 

  

	4.	The Buyer may sell the shares of the Company and/ or all or a substantial part of the business and assets of the Group Companies without the prior written consent of
the Seller provided that, in such circumstances: 

  

	4.1	in the event that EBITDA Statement in respect of the 2012 Earn-out Period has not been agreed or determined prior to the date of such sale, the 2012 EBITDA shall be
deemed to be equal to the 2012 EBITDA Target; and 

  

	4.2	in the event that EBITDA Statement in respect of the 2013 Earn-out Period has not been agreed or determined prior to the date of such sale, the 2013 EBITDA shall be
deemed to be equal to the 2013 EBITDA Target. 

  

	5.	In the event that the actual capital expenditure incurred during the 2012 Earn-out Period exceeds the capital expenditure planned to be incurred during such period as
stated in the Business Plan (the amount of such excess being “Excess Capital Expenditure”), the 2013 EBITDA Target shall be increased by the sum of £200 for every £1,000 of Excess Capital Expenditure. 

  
 139

	6.	In the event that the Buyer acts in breach of paragraph 1 then the Seller shall be entitled by written notice to the Buyer giving reasonable details of such breach to
require an adjustment to be made (such notice to be received no later than the earlier of 45 days after the Seller becomes aware of such breach) and can elect that the process set out in paragraph 3 be followed in order to determine such adjustment,
provided that: 

  

	6.1	in the event that the Buyer takes adequate steps to remedy such breach within 45 Business Days of receipt of such notice or the Seller and the Buyer agree on an
adjustment to the 2012 EBITDA Target or the 2013 EBITDA Target (as the case may be) or that no such adjustment is required to be made, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to paragraph 3; and 

 

	6.2	in the event that the Seller fails to give such a notice by the earlier of: 

 

	 	6.2.1	the last day of the period of 45 days referred to in paragraph 1.5; and 

  

	 	6.2.2	the date that the EBITDA Statement for the relevant year is agreed or determined, 

 the Seller shall not be entitled to require such adjustment. 
  

	7.	In relation to any act by the Buyer which would constitute a breach of paragraph 1, paragraph 6 shall not apply to the extent that Sukhpal Singh Ahluwalia has given his
prior written consent (which may be given by electronic mail) to such act. 

  
 140

 SCHEDULE 7 
 EBITDA Policies 
 The following policies shall be used in the calculation of EBITDA

  

	1.	Calculation of EBITDA 

  

	1.1	EBITDA shall be calculated: 

  

	 	1.1.1	in accordance with the specific accounting principles, practices and policies and the specific accounting bases and treatments set out in this schedule 7 and
consistently applied; and 

  

	 	1.1.2	on the same basis and using the same accounting principles, practices and policies applied in the preparation of the Completion Financial Statements as adjusted by the
Post-Completion Adjustments. UK GAAP shall be consistently applied. For example, the Group Companies have historically accounted for its Peugeot vehicle leases as operating leases and that practice shall continue when calculating EBITDA despite
the fact that Buyer may account for such Peugeot leases as finance leases after Completion. 

  

	1.2	In the event of any conflict between the application of sub-paragraphs 1.1.1 and 1.1.2, the application of sub-paragraph 1.1.1 shall take precedence over the
application of sub paragraph 1.1.2. 

  

	2.	General 

  

	2.1	Results will be calculated excluding the reversal of excess accruals/provisions from prior periods. 

 

	2.2	Any unusual one-off gains exceeding £500,000 per annum in the aggregate (net of one-off losses described in the following sentence) resulting from events
that took place prior to Completion (e.g. legal settlements, etc.) will be excluded from the calculation of EBITDA. Any unusual one-off losses exceeding £500,000 per annum in the aggregate (net of one-time gains described in the preceding
sentence) resulting from events that took place prior to Completion will be excluded from the calculation of EBITDA only to the extent that these were fairly disclosed in the Disclosure Letter and provided for in the Completion Financial Statements.

  

	2.3	The calculation of EBITDA will exclude any general charges (e.g. management fees) from other members of the Buyer’s Group unless they relate to reimbursement of
direct costs that benefit the Group Companies. In the event that the Buyer’s Group causes the Group Companies to replace any provider of services (e.g., insurance), the Group Companies shall be charged for such services on an arm’s length
third party basis; in good faith or EBITDA shall be adjusted in good faith on such basis, provided however, the combined fees that will be charged relating to the preparation and filing of the Group Companies’ statutory accounts and the
corporation tax returns shall be £85,000 for 2012 and £100,000 for 2013. 

  
 141

	2.4	Gains/losses on the sale of fixed assets will be excluded from the calculation of EBITDA. 

 

	3.	Sales/Trade debtors 

  

	3.1	All sales and related trade debtor accounts to be recorded on a UK GAAP basis. In particular, all sales will be recorded only when the corresponding goods have
been delivered. 

  

	3.2	The Bad Debt Provision in the Management Accounts will be re-valued in the Post-Completion Adjustments, and year-end adjustments will be made after Completion to the
profit and loss accounts; both according to existing accounting policies of the Guarantor. 

  

	4.	Inventory/COGS 

  

	4.1	Inventory invoice cost will continue to be maintained on a moving average basis and will include freight in and import duties. 

 

	4.2	The Stock in the Management Accounts will be re-valued as a Post-Completion Adjustment. 

 

	4.3	Stock Provisions in the Management Accounts for missing/damage (account #31050) and excess & obsolete (account #31500) will be re-valued as a Post-Completion
Adjustment, and year-end adjustments will be made to the profit and loss accounts in accordance with the accounting policies of the Buyer’s Group existing at Completion. 

 

	5.	Trade Creditors and Sundry Creditors 

  

	5.1	All amounts owed to Trade Creditors and Sundry Creditors for goods effectively received (either received or shipped when FOB shipping point) will be fully provided for
at each year end. 

  

	5.2	Vendor rebates related to parts purchases and reimbursement of marketing costs will be accounted for according to UK GAAP on an accrual basis. A provision for such
rebates will be made as a Post-Completion Adjustment. Annual adjustments will be made to the profit and loss accounts to reflect the ongoing recording of these items on a UK GAAP basis. Notwithstanding the above, rebates from ATR International
AG (“ATR”) will continue to be recorded on a cash received basis; provided however (a) in no event shall any ATR rebates relate to more than the one immediately preceding calendar year of parts purchased by the Group Companies,
and (b) in the event ATR is replaced with an alternative vendor rebate program, an adjustment shall be made to EBITDA as of the date of such replacement to (i) cause the ATR rebate to be accounted for on an accrual basis (instead of a cash
received basis) during the year of such replacement; and (ii) the alternative vendor rebate program shall be accounted for on an accrual basis during such year. 

  
 142

	6.	Accruals 

  

	6.1	Accruals — Rent in the Management Accounts will be re-valued as a Post-Completion Adjustment, and annual adjustments will be made to the profit and loss accounts
to reflect the revised provisions. 

  

	6.2	All other Accruals at each year-end will reflect a provision for expenses incurred but not yet paid that can be specifically identified as a future cash commitment and
reasonably quantified on a UK GAAP basis. 

  

	7.	Finance Leases 

  

	7.1	To the extent any new or replacement assets are purchased outright as a tangible (fixed) asset (or leased under a finance lease) where such class of asset had
previously been acquired under an operating lease, an adjustment to EBITDA will be made to account for the asset as if it had been acquired under an operating lease, and conversely, to the extent any new or replacement assets are acquired under an
operating lease, where such class of asset had previously been purchased outright as a tangible (fixed) asset (or leased under a finance lease), an adjustment to EBITDA will be made to account for the asset as if it had been acquired as a tangible
(fixed) asset; provided however, to the extent any changes in purchasing and leasing practices are contemplated by the Business Plan, no adjustment shall be made. 

 

	8.	Foreign Exchange Hedges 

Realised and unrealised foreign exchange hedge gains and losses will be calculated at the end of each year and included in the calculation
of EBITDA. 
  

	9.	Future projects/acquisitions 

 In evaluating future capital projects, acquisitions, or investments, a financial model will be prepared and presented for approval first by the boards of the Company and ECP, and then by executive
management of the Guarantor (and the board of directors of the Guarantor when required). Upon agreement, the project or acquisition EBITDA agreed in the financial model will be used to adjust the earn-out EBITDA targets for the relevant periods (90%
of the pro forma EBITDA to be used for acquisitions).
