Agreement in reliance on the Warranties. The Buyer acknowledges that no Warranties are given in connection with the Transaction other than those in Schedule 2 Part A. 

  

	8.2	Immediately before Completion, the Seller is deemed to warrant to the Buyer that each Warranty is true and accurate by reference to the facts and circumstances existing at that
time. When interpreting a Warranty deemed to be repeated immediately before Completion, a reference in a Warranty to a fact, matter or circumstance existing or occurring at or before the Signing Date will be construed as if it were a reference to a
fact, matter or circumstance existing or occurring at or before the Completion Date. 

  

	8.3	In respect of any Relevant Claim, the loss arising in respect of any such claim shall be calculated by reference to: 

  

	8.3.1	the amount by which the value of an asset of a Group Company is, or becomes, less than its value would have been if each Warranty had been true and accurate; or

  

	8.3.2	the amount of a liability to which a Group Company is, or becomes, subject or the amount of an increase in a liability of a Group Company, in each case, to which the Group Company
would not have been, or become, subject if each Warranty had been true, and accurate; and 

 each other loss, cost and liability
which the Buyer or a Group Company incurs directly resulting from the Relevant Claim. In quantifying the loss arising in respect of any such Relevant Claim as aforesaid there shall be taken into account any corresponding increase in assets, decrease
in liabilities, saving or benefit accruing to any Group Company or to the Buyer which results directly from the matter giving rise to the Relevant Claim. 
  

 28 

	8.3	Each Warranty is a separate and independent statement and (except as expressly provided by this Agreement) is not limited or otherwise affected by any other Warranty or by any other
provision of this Agreement and the Buyer shall have a separate claim of right of action in respect of every breach of Warranty. 

  

	8.4	The Warranties are qualified by those matters fairly disclosed in the Disclosure Letter and for this purpose “fairly disclosed” means disclosed in such manner and
in such detail as to enable a reasonable buyer to make a reasonable assessment of the impact of the matter concerned on the Group. 

  

	8.5	In each Warranty, where any statement is qualified as being made “so far as the Seller is aware” or any similar expression, such statement shall be deemed to refer to the
actual knowledge or awareness of Greg Morrison, Iain Bremner, Matthew Petzold, Lance Gibbins, Steve Robson, Jimmy Doyle and Andrew West having made reasonable enquiries of relevant officers or employees of Group Companies, the Seller acknowledging
that a wish to retain confidentiality does not of itself make it reasonable not to make an enquiry. 

  

	8.6	The Warranties shall not in any respect be extinguished or affected by Completion. 

  

	8.7	     

  

	8.7.1	The Seller agrees not to bring any claim which it may have against a Group Company or a present or former officer, director or employee of a Group Company, arising out of any

	8.7.2	Clause 8.7.1 does not apply to a claim against an officer, director or employee who is alleged to have acted fraudulently. 

  

	8.8	During the period before Completion, each Party shall notify the other immediately if it becomes aware of a fact, circumstance or event which causes or may reasonably be expected to
cause a Warranty (if the Warranty were repeated on or at any time before Completion by reference to the facts and circumstances then existing) to become untrue and inaccurate. 

  

	8.9	The Buyer warrants to the Seller that each of the Buyer’s Warranties is true and accurate. The Buyer acknowledges that the Seller is entering this Agreement in reliance on the
Buyer’s Warranties.

Warranty by the Seller.

any Group Company on the Completion Date (whether or not that person would commit any breach of his contract of employment by reason of his leaving the service of any Group Company) provided that this clause shall not prevent a non-executive
director being on both the board of a company in the Group and the board of a company in the Seller’s Group, subject to there being no conflict of interest and shall not apply to the employees listed in Schedule 7 following cessation of their
employment with the Group;

Information. 

  

	10.2	The restriction on disclosure in clause 10.1.6 shall not apply to the Seller to the extent that it is requested or required to disclose such Confidential Information by any

resembling such word or logo.

or thing: for its own account or for the account of another person; independently or jointly with another; directly or indirectly; or as shareholder, principal, partner, director, employee, contractor or agent. 

  

	10.5	While the restrictions contained in this clause 10 are considered by the parties to be reasonable in all the circumstances, it is agreed that if any of those restrictions, by
themselves or taken together, shall be adjudged to go beyond what is reasonable in all the circumstances for the protection of the legitimate business interests of the Buyer, but would be adjudged reasonable if part or parts of the wording thereof
were deleted or amended or qualified or the periods thereof were reduced or the range of services or area dealt with were thereby reduced in scope, then the relevant restriction or restrictions shall apply with such modification or modifications as
may be necessary to make it or them valid and effective.

	13.1.1	the Transaction Documents supersede any prior discussions, understandings and agreements between the parties concerning their subject matter and constitute the entire and only
agreement between the parties concerning their subject matter; and 

  

 37 

	13.1.2	none of the Transaction Documents has been entered into in reliance on any Pre-contractual Statement which is not expressly set out in a Transaction Document and each party hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably waives any claims, rights or remedies arising by virtue of any Pre-contractual Statement not set out in a Transaction Document; 

 provided always that this clause shall not exclude or limit any liability or right which arises as a result of any fraudulent act, omission or statement.

  

	13.2	In this clause 13, “Pre-contractual Statement” means any agreement, undertaking, representation, statement, warranty, promise, assurance or arrangement of any
nature (which express or implied and whether or not in written or draft form) made or given by any person prior to the execution of this Agreement in connection with any matters dealt with in any of the Transaction Documents.

  

	14	Effect of Completion 

 All provisions of this
Agreement shall so far as they are capable of being performed or observed continue in full force and effect notwithstanding Completion except in respect of those matters then already performed and Completion shall not constitute a waiver of any of
the Buyer’s or Seller’s rights in relation to this Agreement. 
  

	15	Buyer’s access to records 

  

	15.1	For a period of two years after the Completion Date, the Seller shall, and shall cause its affiliates that it controls to, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Buyer or its
representatives access, during normal business hours, to such books, records, manuals and other information and assistance relating to any Group Company (to the extent within the control of such party) as is reasonably necessary for financial
reporting, accounting and Tax matters or other reasonable purposes and provide such information and assistance as may reasonably be required by the Buyer in connection with matters related to or affected by the operations of the Group prior to the
Completion Date (provided that such information and assistance shall be provided by the Seller or its affiliates it controls for a period of six years after Completion where it is required by the Buyer in connection with the taxation of the Buyer or
any of its Affiliates). 

  

	15.2	If the Seller wishes to dispose of any of such books, records, manuals or other information prior to the expiration of the six year period referred to above the Seller shall, prior
to doing so, give the Buyer a reasonable opportunity to segregate and remove such books, records, manuals or other information as the Buyer may select. 

  

	15.3	 The Seller shall take all reasonable steps, and shall cause its affiliates it controls to take all reasonable steps to, provide the Buyer and its affiliates with
financial statements and related information (collectively “Additional Financial Information”) sufficient to permit any of them to 

  

 38 

	 	 
fulfil their obligations to include financial disclosure relating to the Group on a timely basis under the Exchange Act, including in (a) the
preparation of the audited combined consolidated balance sheets incorporating the Group Companies as of 31 December 2006 (including the notes contained therein or annexed thereto) (the “2006 Audited Financial Statements”),
(b) the preparation of the audited combined consolidated balance sheets incorporating the Group Companies as of 31 December 2007, and the related audited combined consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the financial year then
ended (including the notes contained therein or annexed thereto) (collectively, the “2007 Audited Financial Statements”), (c) the preparation of the audited combined consolidated balance sheets incorporating the Group Companies
as of 31 December 2008, and the related audited combined consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the financial year then ended (including the notes contained therein or annexed thereto) (collectively, the “2008 Audited
Financial Statements”), (d) the preparation of interim combined consolidated balance sheets incorporating the Group Companies as of each of 31 March 2007, 30 June 2007 and 30 September 2007, and the related interim
combined consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the periods then ended (including the notes contained therein or annexed thereto) (collectively, the “2007 Interim Financial Statements”), and (e) the preparation of
interim combined consolidated balance sheets incorporating the Group Companies as of each of 31 March 2008, 30 June 2008 and 30 September 2008, and the related interim combined consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the
periods then ended (including the notes contained therein or annexed thereto) (collectively, the “2008 Interim Financial Statements”), in each case as required to be filed by the Buyer’s Group under Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X
(under item 2.01 of Form 8-K) of the Exchange Act as a result of the consummation of the Transaction; provided, further, however, that the Buyer shall pay all of the Seller’s and its affiliates reasonable costs with respect thereto, including
the reasonable costs and expenses of consultants. In connection with the audit and review of the 2006 Audited Financial Statements, 2007 Audited Financial Statements, 2008 Audited Financial Statements and the 2008 Interim Financial Statements, the
Seller agrees to (i) provide KPMG LLP (the “Auditors”) with full and timely assistance and access to, and to examine and make copies of, all books and records of the Seller relating to the Group, and authorise the independent
auditors for the Seller and its affiliates, to provide all work papers, (ii) obtain the consent of any auditors required under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act in connection with the filing of any Form 8-K by the Buyer and (iii) take
all reasonable steps to cause any prior accountants to comply with the provisions of this clause 15.3. 

  

	16	Further assurances 

 The Seller shall execute (at
the cost of the Buyer) or procure that any necessary third party shall execute all such documents and/or do or, so far as each is able, procure the doing of such acts and things as the Buyer shall after Completion reasonably require to give effect
to this Agreement and any documents entered into pursuant to it and to give to the Buyer the full benefit of all the provisions of this Agreement. 
  

 39 

	17	Announcements and confidentiality 

  

	17.1	Subject to clause 17.2, no announcement, circular or communication (each an “Announcement”) concerning the existence or content of this Agreement shall be made by
either party (or any member of its Group) without the prior written approval of the other party (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 

  

	17.2	Clause 17.1 does not apply to any Announcement if, and to the extent that, it is required to be made by law, regulatory requirement or the rules of any stock exchange or any
governmental, regulatory or supervisory body or court of competent jurisdiction (“Relevant Authority”) to which the party making the Announcement is subject, whether or not any of the same has the force of law, provided that any
Announcement shall, so far as is practicable, be made after consultation with the other party and after taking into account its reasonable requirements regarding the content, timing and manner of despatch of the Announcement in question.

  

	17.3	Subject to clause 17.4, each party shall treat as strictly confidential all information received or obtained as a result of entering into or performing this Agreement which relates

	17.3.2	the negotiations relating to this Agreement; or 

  

	17.3.3	the other party.

	17.4.6	the other party has given prior written approval to the disclosure, 

 provided that any disclosure shall, so far as is practicable, be made only after consultation with the other party. 
  

	17.5	The Seller acknowledges that the Buyer will need to file a Form 8K with the SEC within four Business Days of this Agreement being signed and that the Buyer will need to include a
copy of this Agreement with that filing, following which this Agreement will become a publicly available document and the parties consent to such disclosure. 

  

 40 

	18	Severability and set-off 

  

	18.1	Each provision of this Agreement is severable and distinct from the others and, if any provision is, or at any time becomes, to any extent or in any circumstances invalid, illegal
or unenforceable for any reason, that provision shall to that extent be deemed not to form part of this Agreement but the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining parts of this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired, it being the
parties’ intention that every provision of this Agreement shall be and remain valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 

  

	18.2	Neither party shall be entitled to set off any sum due by it to the other against any sum due by the other to it under or in relation to this Agreement. 

  

	19	Miscellaneous 

  

	19.1	No purported alteration of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing, refers to this Agreement and is duly executed by each party to this Agreement.

  

	19.2	This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and each of the executed counterparts, when duly exchanged or delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, but, taken
together, they shall constitute one instrument. 

  

	19.3	Each of the parties shall be responsible for its respective legal and other costs incurred in relation to the negotiation, preparation and completion of this Agreement and all
ancillary documents. 

  

	19.4	This Agreement shall be binding on and shall ensure for the benefit of the successors in title and personal representatives of each party. 

  

	19.5	A person who is not a party to this Agreement has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any of its terms. 

  

	19.6	The rights and remedies provided by this Agreement are cumulative and do not exclude any rights and remedies provided by law. 

  

	19.7	Failure to exercise, or a delay in exercising, a right or remedy provided by this Agreement or by law does not constitute a waiver of the right or remedy or a waiver of other rights
or remedies. No single or partial exercise of a right or remedy provided by this Agreement or by law prevents the further exercise of the right or remedy or the exercise of another right or remedy. A waiver of a breach of this Agreement does not
constitute a waiver of a subsequent or prior breach of this Agreement.

obligations under this Agreement nor grant, declare, create or dispose of any right or interest in this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other. 

  

	21.2	Any purported assignment in contravention of this clause 21 shall be void. 

  

	21.3	The benefit of this Agreement, including the Warranties and the Taxation Deed, may be assigned in whole or in part by the Buyer and by its successors and assigns without the
permission of the Seller to a Buyer’s Group Company, provided that if such Buyer Group Company shall cease to be a member of the Buyer’s Group, then such Buyer Group company shall cease to be entitled to enforce any rights under this
Agreement. 

  

	22	Guarantee 

  

	22.1	If before Completion the Buyer assigns the benefit of this Agreement to a Buyer Group Company (the “Buyer Assignee”) the Buyer agrees irrevocably and
unconditionally to guarantee to the Seller the full, prompt and complete performance by the Buyer Assignee of all its obligations under this Agreement and the due and punctual payment on demand of all sums now or subsequently due and payable by the
Buyer Assignee to the Seller under or pursuant to this Agreement. 

  

	22.2	The guarantee contained in this clause is a continuing guarantee and shall remain in force until all the obligations of the Buyer Assignee under this Agreement have been fully
performed and all sums payable by the Buyer Assignee have been fully paid. It is independent of every other security which the Seller may at any time hold for the obligations of the Buyer Assignee under this Agreement. 

  

	22.3	The obligations of the Buyer shall not be affected by any act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this provision, might operate to release or otherwise exonerate the Buyer
from its obligations or affect such obligations, including and whether or not known to the Buyer: 

  

	22.3.1	any variation of this Agreement or any time, indulgence, waiver or consent at any time given to the Buyer Assignee or any other person; 

  

	22.3.2	any compromise or release of, or abstention from obtaining, perfecting or enforcing any security or other right or remedy whatsoever from or against, the Buyer Assignee or any other
person; 

  

	22.3.3	any legal limitation, disability, incapacity or other circumstance relating to the Buyer Assignee or any other person; or 

  

 43 

	22.3.4	any irregularity, unenforceability or invalidity of any obligations of the Buyer Assignee under this Agreement, or the dissolution, amalgamation, reconstruction or insolvency of the
Buyer Assignee. 

  

	22.4	This guarantee may be enforced by the Seller without the Seller first taking any proceedings against the Buyer Assignee. 

  

	22.5	The Buyer agrees that until the obligations of the Buyer Assignee under this Agreement have been fully and completely performed and all sums payable by the Buyer Assignee to the
Seller under or pursuant to this Agreement have been paid, it shall not exercise any rights which it might have by reason of the performance of its obligations under this guarantee: 

  

	22.5.1	to be indemnified by the Buyer Assignee; and/or 

  

	22.5.2	to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of the Buyer Assignee’s obligations under this Agreement; and/or 

  

	22.5.3	to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Seller under this Agreement or any other security taken by the Seller
pursuant to, or in connection with, this Agreement. 

  

	23	Name changes 

 The Buyer shall procure that within
two months following Completion the name of each Group Company and all insignia, signage, logos, vehicles and other indications bearing a reference to “Imagine” or “i” shall be changed so as not to include such word or any
colourable imitation of such words. 
  

	24	Governing law, submission to jurisdiction and agent for service 

  

	24.1	This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. 

  

	24.2	The parties irrevocably agree that the courts of England and Wales are to have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any disputes which may arise out of or in connection with this
Agreement. The parties hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive any objection on the ground of venue or on the ground that the proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum provided that this clause shall be
without prejudice to the right to bring proceedings in any other jurisdiction for the purpose of enforcement or execution of any judgement or other settlement in any other courts. 

  

	24.3	Each party must at all times maintain an agent for service of process in England and Wales. 

  

 44 

	24.4	The Seller appoints Norose Notices Limited of 3 More London Riverside, London SE1 2AQ, United Kingdom (ref 149/LN18071) as its agent to accept service of any Process Document in
England. 

  

	24.5	The Buyer appoints Sisec Limited of 21 Holborn Viaduct, London EC1A 2DY, United Kingdom as its agent to accept service of any Process Document in England. 

 

	24.6	Any Process Document will be sufficiently served on a party if delivered to the agent at its address for the time being. 

  

	24.7	Neither party may revoke the authority of its agent. If an agent ceases to be able to act as such or to have an address within the jurisdiction of the English courts, the Buyer or
the Seller (as the case may be) must promptly appoint another agent (with an address for service within the jurisdiction of the English courts). 

  

	24.8	Each party must notify the other within 14 days of any change in the identity or address of its agent for service of process. 

  

	24.9	This clause 24 does not prevent a Process Document being served in another manner permitted by law. 

  

	25	Indemnity arising from “Connected Companies” clause 

  

	25.1	Within 5 Business Days after the Completion Date, the Buyer shall indemnify the Seller against any sum which, in the period between the Signing Date and the Completion Date, has, in
accordance with clause 15 of the Membership Agreement of ICCL1, been applied from the Premiums Trust Fund of ICCL1 in meeting any loss or liability of any Member or in payment to Lloyd’s in respect of any obligation which any Member has failed
to pay, save to the extent that such sum has already been replaced by the Buyer or any member of the Buyer’s Group. 

  

	25.2	Within 5 Business Days after Completion Date, the Seller shall indemnify the Buyer against any sum which, in the period between the Signing Date and the Completion Date, has, in
accordance with clause 15 of the Membership Agreement of any Member, been applied from the Premiums Trust Fund of that Member in meeting any loss or liability of ICCL1 or in payment to Lloyd’s in respect of any obligation which ICCL1 has failed
to pay, save to the extent that such sum has already been replaced by the Seller or any member of the Seller’s Group. 

 IN WITNESS of which this Agreement has been entered into on the date first above written.

	1.3	The Seller shall not be liable in respect of a Relevant Claim or in respect of a claim under the Taxation Deed unless and until: 

  

	1.3.1	the amount of each claim exceeds £10,000; and

	2	Time limit for bringing a claim

detail the nature of the Relevant Claim and the Buyer’s then best estimate of the amount claimed, in the case of any Relevant Claim under any of the Taxation Warranties, or a Claim under the Taxation Deed, within 6 years of the end of the
accounting period of the Company current at Completion, or, in the case of any other Relevant Claim, by within 18 months of the Completion Date. 

  

	2.2	Any Relevant Claim other than a claim under any of the Taxation Warranties shall (if it has not been previously satisfied, settled or withdrawn) be deemed to have been waived or
withdrawn on the expiry of three months after the date of the notice served pursuant to paragraph 2.1 of this Schedule 4 unless court proceedings in respect of the Relevant Claim have been started. For the purposes of this paragraph 2.2 court

 83 

	2.3	Where the matter or default giving rise to a breach of any Warranty is capable of remedy by the Seller, the Buyer may not bring a Relevant Claim unless:

	2.3.2	the matter or default is not remedied to the reasonable satisfaction of the Buyer within 30 days after the date on which such notice is given. 

  

	3	Specific limitations 

  

	3.1	The Seller shall not be liable in respect of a Relevant Claim other than a claim under any of the Taxation Warranties to the extent that the matter giving rise to the claim:

  

	3.1.1	would not have arisen or occurred but for a voluntary act, omission or transaction on the part of the Buyer or any of the Group Companies or any of their respective directors,
employees or agents after Completion otherwise than as required by any law in force on or before Completion; 

  

	3.1.2	results from a change in the accounting or Taxation policies or practices of the Buyer or any Related Company of the Buyer or any Group Company (including the method of submitting
taxation returns) introduced by the Buyer and having effect after Completion, save where such change is required to conform such policy or practice of the relevant Group Company with generally accepted policies or practices or where such change is
necessary to correct an improper practice or policy; 

  

	3.1.3	occurs as a result of or is otherwise attributable to: 

  

	 	(a)	any legislation not in force at the date of this Agreement or any change of law or published administrative practice having retrospective effect which comes into force after the
date of this Agreement; or 

  

	 	(b)	any increase after the date of this Agreement in any rate of Taxation; 

  

	3.1.4	occurs as a result of or is otherwise attributable to the Buyer or any Group Company disclaiming any part of the benefit of capital or other allowances against Taxation properly
claimed or proposed to be properly claimed on or before the date of this Agreement; 

  

	3.1.5	is an amount for which any Group Company has a right of recovery against or indemnity from any person other than the Seller whether or not as a matter of law, or has been recovered
under the terms of any insurance policy of the Buyer or any Group Company which is in force at the Completion Date (and whether or not in force at the time of the matter giving rise to a Relevant Claim arising); 

  

	3.1.6	arises as a consequence of any act or omission under the terms of this Agreement, by reason or in consequence of the execution and performance of this Agreement, or at the request
of the Buyer or member of the Buyer’s Group (including, following Completion, any Group Company); 

  

 84 

	3.1.7	was taken into account in calculating an allowance, provision or reserve in the Accounts, or as an adjustment to the Purchase Price. 

  

	4	No duplication of liability 

 The Buyer agrees for
itself and on behalf of every Group Company with the Seller that the Seller shall not be liable under a Relevant Claim to the extent that the loss that is the subject of the Relevant Claim has already been fully recovered by the Buyer or a Group
Company in respect of another Relevant Claim. 
  

	5	Conduct of claims 

  

	5.1	Where any Group Company or the Buyer is or becomes entitled (whether under any insurance or by way of payment, discount, credit, set off, counterclaim or otherwise) to recover from
any third party (including any Tax Authority) any sum in respect of Taxation or any other loss, damage or liability which is or may be the subject of a claim against the Seller under this Agreement (other than in respect of a claim under the
Taxation Warranties which shall be dealt with in accordance with clause 4 of the Taxation Deed) the Buyer shall give notice thereof promptly to the Seller and, if so required by the Seller, take or procure the relevant Group Company to take all such
steps or proceedings as the Seller may reasonably require to enforce such recovery. 

  

	5.2	The Buyer shall procure that the Seller is provided promptly with all such information and reports concerning any such steps or proceedings taken by the Buyer or the relevant Group
Company as the Seller may from time to time reasonably request. 

  

	5.3	If any such sum as is referred to in paragraph 5.1 of this Schedule 4 is recovered by the Buyer or any Group Company from the third party, any claim by the Buyer or any Group
Company in respect of any Taxation or any other loss, damage or liability to which the sum relates (other than in respect of a claim under the Taxation Warranties) shall be limited (without prejudice to any other limitations on the liability of the
Seller referred to in this Schedule 4) to the amount (if any) by which the amount of such Taxation or other loss, damage or liability exceeds the aggregate of: 

  

	5.3.1	the sum recovered less all reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Buyer or any Group Company (as the case may be) in recovering that sum from the third party; and

  

	5.3.2	any sum or sums previously paid by the Seller to the Buyer or any Group Company in respect of such Taxation or other loss, damage or liability. 

  

	5.4	If the aggregate of the sums referred to in paragraphs 5.3.1 and 5.3.2 of this Schedule 4 exceeds the amount of the Taxation or other loss, damage or liability to which the sum
recovered relates the Buyer shall forthwith pay to the Seller the amount of the excess, up to the aggregate amount previously paid by the Seller to the Buyer in respect of the loss, damage or liability to which the sum recovered relates.

  

 85 

	5.5	Any liability of the Seller under the Warranties in respect of any matter shall be computed after taking into account and giving credit for any corresponding increase in the value
of the net assets of or other saving by or benefit to the Buyer or its successors in title or any Group Company resulting from the same matter including without limitation any saving of Taxation. 

  

	5.6	If the Seller makes any payment in respect of a claim under the Warranties and any Group Company receives a benefit or refund which the Seller can demonstrate should have been, but
was not, taken into account in computing the liability of the Seller in respect of the claim and would have reduced the liability had this been so, the Buyer shall forthwith repay to the Seller a sum corresponding to such benefit or refund as the
case may be. 

  

	5.7	The Seller shall reimburse to the Buyer or the relevant Group Company (as the case may be) all reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by it in complying with its
obligations under paragraphs 5.1 to 5.3 of this Schedule 4 inclusive and the Buyer shall not (and shall procure that the relevant Group Company shall not) accept or pay or compromise any relevant claim or make any submission in respect of it
without the Seller’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 

  

	6	Third party claims 

  

	6.1	The Buyer shall, and shall procure that each Group Company shall notify the Seller of any claim, potential claim, matter or event against the relevant Group Company which might
constitute a breach of any of the Warranties (other than a claim under the Taxation Warranties which shall be dealt with under Schedule 2 of the Taxation Deed) or otherwise give rise to a Relevant Claim (a “Third Party Claim”)
as soon as is reasonably practicable following receipt of such claim. The Buyer or the relevant Group Company shall retain the conduct or any negotiations, proceedings, settlement or appeals relating to the Third Party Claim but shall consult with
the Seller in respect of such matters. 

  

	6.2	If the Buyer becomes aware of any Third Party Claim, the Buyer shall, and shall procure that each relevant Group Company: 

  

	6.2.1	as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within 14 days of becoming so aware give notice of such Third Party Claim to the Seller and consult with the Seller in respect of
such Third Party; 

  

	6.2.2	 if so requested by the Seller by no later than 5 Business Days of being so notified, take all reasonable steps or proceedings as the Seller may reasonably consider
necessary at the Seller’s expense in order to mitigate, avoid, resist, appeal, dispute, contest, remedy, compromise or defend any such Third Party Claim or enforce against any person (other than the Seller) the rights of the relevant Group
Company and the Buyer in relation to the matter the subject of the Third Party Claim subject to the Buyer or relevant Group Company (as 

  

 86 

	 	 
appropriate) being indemnified by the Seller to the Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction against all costs, damages and expenses incurred in connection with
the Third Party Claim; 

  

	6.2.3	promptly provide to the Seller or their duly authorised representative copies of information reasonably required by the Seller (save for information that is privileged) and access
to staff (but without any obligation to provide access to the premises of the Buyer’s Group or the Group) to provide information reasonably required by the Seller; 

  

	6.2.4	keep the Seller informed of the progress of any Third Party Claim (including any proposed settlement, compromise or admission of liability) and provide the Seller with copies of all
material correspondence relating to it; and 

  

	6.2.5	save with the Seller’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) not to admit liability in respect of, or compromise or settle, any Third
Party Claim. 

  

	7	Successful claims constitute reduction in Purchase Price 

 The satisfaction by the Seller of any claim under this Agreement (including the Warranties) or under the Taxation Deed shall be deemed to constitute a reduction in the Purchase Price payable by the Buyer for the sale of the Sale Share.

  

	8	Mitigation 

 Nothing in this Agreement shall be
deemed to relieve the Buyer from any common law or other duty to mitigate any loss or damage incurred by it as a result of any of the Warranties being untrue. 
  

	9	Contingent Liabilities 

 The Seller shall have no
obligation to make a payment in respect of any liability under the Warranties which is contingent only unless (and until) such contingent liability gives rise to an obligation to make a payment before the date which is 18 months from the date of
this agreement. 
  

	10	Taxation 

 The Seller shall not be liable in respect
of any breach of the Taxation Warranties to the extent that such a liability would have been limited or excluded under the provisions of Clause 3 of the Taxation Deed (treating such liability as if, for the purposes of Clause 3 of the Taxation Deed,
it was a Taxation Liability (as defined in the Taxation Deed)), and the provisions of Clause 4 of and Schedule 2 to the Taxation Deed shall also apply to govern the conduct of any claims under the Taxation Warranties or the rights to recover
any sum from any third party which is or may be the subject of a claim under the Taxation Warranties.

 961st Amendment to Employment Agreement between Gastar and J. Russell Porter

 Exhibit 10.1 
 FIRST AMENDMENT TO 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT is entered into by and between Gastar Exploration, Ltd., a Canadian corporation, Gastar Exploration
USA, Inc., f/k/a First Sourcenergy Wyoming, Inc., a Michigan corporation (together, the “Company”), and J. Russell Porter (“Porter”) as of July 25, 2008. 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Porter have heretofore entered into that certain Employment Agreement effective as of March 23, 2005 (the
“Employment Agreement”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Porter desire to amend the Employment Agreement to comply with the
applicable provisions of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury regulations issued thereunder; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above and the mutual agreements set forth herein, the Company and Porter hereby agree, effective as of the date set forth above, the Employment Agreement is hereby amended as
provided below: 
  

	 	1.	Section 5 is amended by adding thereto the following: 

 Any bonus payable to Porter for a calendar year shall be paid not later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of such year. 
  

	 	2.	Section 6(b) is amended to read as follows: 

 The
Company shall pay or reimburse Porter each calendar year up to $25,000 for his membership dues incurred in such clubs and/or organizations that year as are reasonable and customary for the President and CEO. 
  

	 	3.	Section 6(c) is amended to read as follows: 

 The
Company shall reimburse Porter for all necessary and reasonable business expenses incurred by him in accordance with the Company’s written policy applicable to executives with respect to such expenses. 
  

	 	4.	Section 8(b) is amended to read as follows: 

 Amount of Severance Payment. Porter shall receive a lump sum severance payment equal to the product of (i) 4.5 and (ii) his highest rate of annual base salary in effect at any time during the one year period preceding
Porter’s termination of employment, and if Porter timely elects COBRA health plan continuation coverage under the Company’s group health plan, the Company shall pay Porter, on the first of each month during his COBRA continuation period,
an amount equal to his required COBRA premium. If Porter dies during the COBRA continuation period, this health plan continuation coverage and the Company’s monthly payment of the COBRA premium amount will continue for the benefit of
Porter’s eligible beneficiary(ies) for the remainder of the COBRA continuation period applicable to them. 
  

	 	5.	The following new Section 8(c) is added: 

 §409A Delay in Payments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if on the date of his separation from service Porter is a “specified employee,” as defined in IRC Section 409A and the Treasury
regulations thereunder, then all or the portion of any severance payments, benefits, or reimbursements under this Agreement that would be subject to the additional tax provided by IRC Section 409A(a)(1)(B) if not delayed as required by IRC
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) shall be delayed until the first day of the seventh month following his separation from service date (or, if earlier, Porter’s date of death) and shall be paid as a lump sum (without interest) on such date. A
termination of Porter’s employment for 

 
purposes of this Agreement means a “separation from service” for purposes of IRC Section 409A and the Treasury regulations thereunder.

  

	 	6.	Section 9 is amended to read as follows: 

 Effective
on the date of Porter’s termination of employment pursuant to Paragraph 4 above, excluding 4(c), the unvested portion of any and all stock options held by Porter on such date shall immediately become fully vested. All other terms of any such
stock options shall remain unchanged. 
  

	 	7.	Section 15 is amended by adding thereto a new paragraph (m) to read as follows: 

 Any reimbursement of expenses provided to Porter by this Agreement, whether pursuant to Section 6(b), Section 11 or otherwise, shall be made by the Company upon or as soon as practicable following the
receipt of supporting documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Company, but in no event later than the close of Porter’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense is incurred by Porter. The amount of expenses eligible for
reimbursement with respect to any taxable year of Porter shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year of Porter and Porter’s right to reimbursement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another
benefit. 
 Except as expressly modified by this First Amendment, the terms of the Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect
and are hereby confirmed and ratified. The Gastar Exploration, Ltd. Employee Change of Control Severance Plan (“Severance Plan”) provides severance benefits thereunder are to be offset by the severance benefits provided under this
Employment Agreement to avoid any duplication of benefits. Nothing in the Severance Plan shall be construed or operate to eliminate the COBRA continuation coverage and Company monthly COBRA premium payments provided to surviving beneficiaries of
Porter under this Employment Agreement. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this First Amendment as of the date
first set forth above.
