6.7 The Purchaser shall, or shall procure that each member of the Target Group shall, deliver the Straddle Period Tax Returns in draft to the Seller no later than forty five (45) days prior to the Time Limit for which the Straddle Period Tax Returns are to be submitted to the relevant Tax Authority and subject to this Clause 6 shall take account of the reasonable comments of the Seller and make such amendments to the Straddle Period Tax Returns as the Seller may reasonably request in writing within thirty (30) days of the date of delivery of the Straddle Period Tax Returns to the Seller. 6.8 The Purchaser shall procure that each Target Company or its duly authorised agents or advisers shall deal with the agreement of (and any enquiries, requests for information or correspondence from any Tax Authority (“Correspondence”) in relation to) each Pre- Completion Tax Return and Straddle Period Tax Return save that: 6.8.1 the Purchaser shall, as soon as practicable following receipt, provide the Seller with a copy of any Correspondence that relates to any Pre-Completion Tax Return or to any pre-completion matter reflected in any Straddle Period Tax Return (“Relevant Correspondence”); 6.8.2 the Seller shall, within fifteen (15) days of receiving copies of any Relevant Correspondence, be entitled to comment on the subject matter and the way in which the relevant Target Company should respond to or otherwise deal with the subject matter, and the Purchaser shall procure that the Target Company adopts or otherwise takes account of any such reasonable comments; 6.8.3 the Purchaser shall keep the Seller reasonably and promptly informed of the progress of dealing with any such Relevant Correspondence; 6.8.4 the Purchaser shall procure that the relevant Target Company shall not amend any Pre-Completion Tax Return or Straddle Period Tax Return without the approval of the Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed where such amendment could give rise to a liability of the Seller under this Deed or for beach of the Tax Warranties. 6.9 The Seller shall not take without the Purchaser's prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the Purchaser shall not be obliged to take, any action pursuant to this Clause 6 or any action in respect of the VAT position of any Target Company which is likely to materially increase the amount of Tax payable by, or otherwise adversely affect the business or Tax affairs of, the Purchaser or the Target Group in respect of accounting periods which fall wholly or partly after Completion. 6.10 The Purchaser shall be under no obligation to procure the authorisation, signing or submission to a Tax Authority of any Tax Documents, elections, surrenders, claims, notices or other document delivered to it under this Clause 6 which it considers, in its reasonable opinion, is false, misleading, incomplete or inaccurate in any material respect. 6.11 Notwithstanding the remainder of this Clause 6, the Purchaser and the Seller shall: 6.11.1 in good faith consider the making of a timely and valid Section 338(g) election to be executed by authorised personnel of the Purchaser with respect to the transaction effected by the Agreement by filing Form 8023 with the relevant Tax Authority within such time as is agreed between the Purchaser and the Seller; 6.11.2 in good faith consider the making of an entity classification election on IRS Form 8832 with respect to any Target Company in respect of any periods which have ended on or prior to Completion and in respect of the Straddle Period; 12

6.11.3 provide the other Party with all such information and assistance, including such access to its personnel, books, accounts and records which may reasonably be required in order to consider the making of the elections under this Clause 6.11, provided always that the Purchaser shall be under no obligation to make any election under this Clause 6.11: (A) if the Seller has not indemnified the Purchaser and the relevant Target Company for any reasonable Costs that may be suffered or incurred in taking or procuring the taking of any action under this Clause 6.11 (but, for the avoidance of doubt, provided such indemnity has been given by the Seller, the Purchaser shall not use the Costs of considering the making of any election under this Clause 6.11 as a "good faith" reason not to so consider); (B) which it considers, in its reasonable opinion (i) would be unlawful, false, misleading, incomplete or inaccurate in any material respect; or (ii) would, or is reasonably likely to, cause any member of the Target Group or any other member of the Purchaser's Group to: (A) incur a material liability (or increased liability) to Tax (whether historically, currently or in the future); or (B) to defer a material liability (or increased liability) to Tax, in each case ignoring any available Purchaser's Reliefs other than any Reliefs airing directly as a result of the making of any such election. 7. NOTIFICATION OF CLAIMS AND CONDUCT OF DISPUTES 7.1 If the Purchaser receives or becomes aware of a Tax Claim, the Purchaser shall or shall procure that the relevant Target Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within ten days give written notice to the Seller of the Tax Claim together with reasonable details of such Tax Claim as are available to the Purchaser at such time (provided always that the giving of such notice and reasonable details of the Tax Claim shall not be a condition precedent to the liability of the Seller hereunder). 7.2 If any Seller should become aware of a Tax Claim, it shall promptly (and in any case within ten days of becoming so aware) notify the Purchaser in writing. 7.3 Subject to Clauses 7.4 and 7.5, if the Seller indemnifies the Purchaser and the relevant Target Company to the Purchaser's reasonable satisfaction against all liabilities, costs, damages or expenses that may be incurred (including any additional Liability for Tax), the Purchaser shall take and shall procure that the relevant Target Company shall take any action that the Seller may reasonably request by notice in writing given to the Purchaser to avoid, dispute, defend, resist, appeal, request an internal HMRC review or compromise any Claim for Tax. 7.4 The Purchaser and the relevant Target Company shall not be obliged to appeal or procure an appeal against any assessment to Tax if the Purchaser, having given the Seller written notice of that assessment, does not receive written instructions to do so from the Seller’s Representatives within fifteen Business Days of the date of the notice to do so. 7.5 Without prejudice to the liability of the Seller under this Deed, the Purchaser shall not be obliged to take, or procure the taking of, any action under Clause 7.3 in respect of any Tax Claim: 7.5.1 if the Seller does not request the Purchaser to take any action under clause 7.3 or the Seller fails to indemnify the Purchaser and the relevant Target Company to the Purchaser's reasonable satisfaction in a reasonable period of time (starting with the date of the notice given to the Seller’s Representative), considering the nature of the Claim for Tax and the existence of any time limit for avoiding, disputing, 13

defending, resisting, appealing, seeking a review or compromising that Claim for Tax; or 7.5.2 where the Seller (or the Target Group before Completion) has engaged in fraudulent conduct or deliberate default relating to the Tax Liability that is the subject matter of the Claim for Tax; or 7.5.3 to the extent that the Claim for Tax involves an appeal against a determination by the Tax Chamber of the First-tier Tribunal or higher tribunal; or 7.5.4 where such action shall, in the opinion of the Purchaser (acting reasonably and in good faith) be materially prejudicial to the commercial interests of the Purchaser or the Target Group (provided always that the mere making of an appeal, defending, resisting or disputing a Tax Liability, requesting an internal review or entering into negotiations with a Tax Authority shall not be considered to be materially prejudicial for these purposes). 7.6 If Clause 7.3 does not apply by virtue of any provision in Clause 7.4 or 7.5, the Purchaser or the relevant Target Company shall have the absolute conduct of the Claim for Tax (without prejudice to its rights under this Deed) and shall be free to pay or settle the Claim for Tax on any terms that the Purchaser or the relevant Target Company in its absolute discretion considers fit (acting in good faith). 8. CORRESPONDING BENEFITS 8.1 If, on or before the first anniversary of the expiry of the time limit for bringing Claims for Tax under Clause 4.2, the auditors of the relevant Target Company (the “Auditors”) shall certify (at the request and expense of the Seller) that: 8.1.1 there is an Overprovision, then any such amount shall be dealt with in accordance with Clause 8.2; or 8.1.2 any Tax Liability (or liability giving rise to a breach of any of the Tax Warranties) which has resulted in a payment having been made or becoming due from the Seller under this Deed (or an actual payment having been made under the Agreement for a breach of the Tax Warranties) would give or has given rise to a Relief for any of the Target Group (or the Event which gave rise to the Tax Liability (or liability giving rise to a breach of any of the Tax Warranties) has given rise to such Relief) which would not otherwise have arisen, then, as and when the liability of the relevant Target Company to make an actual payment of or in respect of Taxation (being a liability in respect of which the Seller would not have been liable to make a payment under this Deed) is reduced by reason of that Relief (and in this respect the relevant Target Company may in its absolute discretion choose to utilise any other Reliefs that are or become available to any of the Target Group in priority to the Relief which would not have arisen but for the Tax Liability (or liability giving rise to a breach of any of the Tax Warranties) which has resulted in the payment having been made or becoming due from the Seller but will otherwise use reasonable endeavours to utilise the relevant Relief) (a “Saving”), the amount by which the liability is reduced shall be dealt with in accordance with Clause 8.2; or 8.1.3 a Target Company has received a repayment of Taxation in respect of a period ending on or before Completion which was not treated as an asset in, or taken into account in, or in computing a provision for Taxation (including deferred Taxation) in, the Completion Statement (a “Tax Repayment”), the amount of the repayment shall be dealt with in accordance with Clause 8.2. 14

8.2 Where it is provided in Clause 8.1 that any amount (the “Relevant Amount”) is to be dealt with in accordance with this Clause: 8.2.1 the Relevant Amount shall first be set off against any payment then due from the Seller under this Deed or for breach of the Tax Warranties; and 8.2.2 to the extent that there is any excess, a refund shall be made to the Seller of any previous payment or payments made by the Seller under this Deed or for breach of the Tax Warranties and not previously refunded under this Clause 8.2 up to the amount of such excess; and 8.2.3 to the extent that the excess referred to in Clause 8.2.2 is not exhausted under that Clause, the remainder of that excess shall be carried forward for set off against any future payment or payments which become due from the Seller under this Deed or for breach of the Tax Warranties on or before the expiry of the time limit for bringing Claims for Tax under Clause 4.2. 8.3 Where any such certification as is mentioned in Clause 8.1 has been made, the Seller or the Purchaser may on or before the expiry of the time limit for bringing Claims for Tax under Clause 4.2 (at their own expense) request the Auditors to review such certification in the light of all relevant circumstances, including any facts which have become known only since such certification, and to certify whether such certification remains correct or whether, in the light of those circumstances, the amount that was the subject of such certification should be amended. 8.4 If the Auditors certify under Clause 8.3 that an amount previously certified should be amended, that amended amount shall be substituted for the purposes of Clause 8.2 as the Relevant Amount in respect of the certification in question in place of the amount originally certified and such adjusting payment (if any) as may be required by virtue of the above- mentioned substitution shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable by the Seller or (as the case may be) to the Seller. 8.5 Clause 8.2 shall not apply if and to the extent that the Relevant Amount arises or is increased as a result of: 8.5.1 any change in legislation or in the generally published practice or concession of any Tax Authority that occurs after Completion; 8.5.2 a change after Completion in the accounting policies of any of the Target Group Companies or the accounting reference date of any of the Target Group; 8.5.3 any voluntary transaction, action or omission carried out by the Purchaser or the other member of the Purchaser’s Group after Completion (save to the extent that the transaction or action was required to give effect to the Overprovision, Saving or Tax Repayment); 8.5.4 the utilisation or availability of a Purchaser's Relief; or 8.5.5 a Relief which has already been taken into account in reducing the Seller’s liability under this Deed or which has already given rise to a set-off against a payment due from the Seller under this Deed or to a payment by the Purchaser to the Seller under this Deed (including any payment dealt with under Clause 9). 9. RECOVERY FROM THIRD PARTIES 9.1 Where the Seller has paid an amount either under Clause 2 for any Tax Liability or under the Agreement for breach of the Tax Warranties and the Purchaser or the relevant Target Company is, or becomes, entitled to recover from some other person (that is not the 15

Purchaser, any Target Company or any other company in the Purchaser's Group), any amount for any Tax Liability (or liability giving rise to a breach of any of the Tax Warranties), the Purchaser shall or shall procure that the relevant Target Company shall: 9.1.1 notify the Seller of their entitlement as soon as reasonably practicable; and 9.1.2 if required by the Seller and, subject to the Purchaser and the relevant Target Company being indemnified by the Seller against any Tax that may be suffered on receipt of that amount and any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in recovering that amount, take or procure that the relevant Target Company takes all reasonable steps to enforce that recovery against the person in question (keeping the Seller informed of the progress of any action taken), provided that the Purchaser shall not be required to take any action under this Clause 9.1 that, in the Purchaser’s reasonable opinion, is likely to harm materially its or the Purchaser’s or the Target Group's commercial or employment relationship (potential or actual) with that or any other person (provided always that the recovery or potential recovery of an amount under a pre-existing contractual right will not be considered to materially harm a commercial or employment relationship). 9.2 If the Purchaser or the relevant Target Company recovers any amount referred to in clause 9.1, the Purchaser shall account to the Seller for the lesser of: 9.2.1 any amount recovered (including any related interest or related repayment supplement) less any Tax chargeable or suffered in respect of that amount and any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in recovering that amount; and 9.2.2 the amount paid by the Seller under Clause 2 in respect of the Liability for Tax in question. 9.3 Neither the Purchaser nor the Target Company concerned shall be required to take or procure the taking of any steps pursuant to Clause 9.1: 9.3.1 if the relevant entitlement has arisen after the first anniversary of the expiry of the time limit for bringing Claims for Tax under Clause 4.2; 9.3.2 to the extent that the relevant entitlement has arisen or is increased by reason of the availability of a Purchaser's Relief or a Relief which has already been taken into account in reducing the Seller's liability under this Deed or which has already given rise to a set-off against a payment due from the Seller under this Deed or to a payment by the Purchaser to the Seller under this Deed (including any payment dealt with under Clause 8); or 9.3.3 if within fifteen Business Days of receiving notification pursuant to Clause 9.1, the Seller has failed to request the Purchaser or the relevant Target Company to take any appropriate action under that Clause. 10. PURCHASER’S COVENANT 10.1 The Purchaser covenants with the Seller to pay the Seller an amount equal to: 10.1.1 any Tax for which the Seller or any member of the Seller’s Group is liable as a result of non-payment of Tax by the Target Group: a) in respect of any Event occurring after Completion; or b) as a result of the failure of the Purchaser or the Target Group to apply an amount provided for in the Completion Statement or an amount paid by 16

the Seller to the Purchaser under this Deed or for breach of any of the Tax Warranties, to discharge a liability to which the amount relates; and 10.1.2 any reasonable third party costs and expenses properly incurred by the Seller in connection with the liability referred to in Clause 10.1.1 or with taking any successful action under this Clause 10.1. 10.2 For the purposes of this Clause 10 any liability to Tax shall include any liability to make a payment of Tax which would have arisen but for the utilisation of any Relief. 10.3 A payment to be made by the Purchaser under this Clause 10 shall be made in cleared funds seven days after written demand for that payment. 10.4 Where the Purchaser fails to make a payment in satisfaction of a liability under this Clause 10 by the due date for payment, the liability of the Purchaser shall be increased to include interest on that sum from the date on which the Purchaser becomes liable to make payment to the date of actual payment at a rate per annum being two base percentage points above the base rate from time to time of Barclays Bank plc. 10.5 Clauses 5.5 to 5.8 and 7 shall apply to the covenant contained in this Clause 10 as they apply to a liability under Clause 2 replacing references to the Seller by the Purchaser (and vice versa) and making any other necessary modifications. 11. GROUP RELIEF – SURRENDERS TO THE TARGET GROUP 11.1 The Seller may, so far as legally possible, reduce or extinguish any Tax Liability for which it is liable under this Deed or for breach of any of the Tax Warranties: 11.1.1 by reallocating for nil consideration a chargeable realisation gain or any part of such a gain to any member of the Seller’s Group under the provisions of section 792 Corporation Tax Act 2009; 11.1.2 by electing for nil consideration under section 171A Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act that a disposal of an asset by a member of the Target Group shall be treated as having been made by the Seller or a member of the Seller’s Group; or 11.1.3 by surrendering or procuring the surrender of Group Relief or eligible unrelieved foreign tax to the Target for nil consideration; so that the Seller’s liability under Clause 2 or for breach of any of the Tax Warranties in respect of that liability reduced or extinguished and any claim already made in respect of that liability is deemed for the purposes of this Deed and the Agreement never to have been made. 11.2 In relation to any Tax Liability of the Target Group in respect of the Straddle Period or the period ending immediately prior to the Straddle Period and for which the Seller is not liable to make payment under this Deed or for breach of the Tax Warranties but which is capable of being mitigated or eliminated by the surrender of Group Relief: 11.2.1 the Seller shall (so far as is legally possible) be entitled to surrender or to procure the surrender of Group Relief to the Target Group from the Seller’s Group; and 11.2.2 the Purchaser shall procure that the relevant member of the Target Group pays to the company making the surrender an amount equal to of the amount of Tax saved by the relevant Target Company as a consequence of the utilisation of the Group Relief, that payment to be made on the date on which the relevant member of the Target Group would have been obliged to make a payment of Tax but for the availability of the Group Relief, provided that the provisions of this Clause shall 17

not have effect if and to the extent that payment in respect of a surrender has been made on or before Completion. 11.3 The Purchaser shall and shall procure that the Target Group shall, in each case at the Seller’s cost, use all reasonable endeavours to procure that all relevant claims, elections and surrenders are made and all other actions are taken as are required to effect the surrender and utilisation of the Group Relief referred to in this Clause 11. 11.4 In the event that any surrender of Group Relief is made in accordance with the provisions of Clauses 11.1 and 11.2 and corporation tax falls nevertheless to be charged in respect of the taxable profits which the relevant surrender was intended to relieve from that Tax (whether as a result of a Tax Authority refusing to allow Group Relief or subsequently withdrawing Group Relief in respect of the relevant surrender, the non-availability of any Group Relief or for any other reason whatsoever) then the Seller shall immediately repay to the Target Group the sum previously paid in respect of the relevant surrender or, as the case may be, any part of that sum as is attributable to the element of the surrender which did not have the effect of relieving from corporation tax the taxable profits intended to be relieved by virtue of that surrender. 11.5 The Seller’s Group shall not be entitled to take or procure the taking of any action, and the Purchaser’s Group shall not be under any obligation to take or procure the taking of any action, under this Clause 11: 11.5.1 if the Seller has not indemnified the Purchaser and the relevant Target Company for any Costs that may be suffered or incurred in taking or procuring the taking of any action under this Clause 11; 11.5.2 to the extent that the taking of that action and/or the application of Clause 11.2 would cause any member of the Target Group to incur a material liability (or increased liability) to Tax (whether currently or in the future), or to defer a material liability (or increased liability) to Tax, other than a liability (or increased liability) to Tax in respect of which the Seller: (A) is liable to make payment under the terms of this Deed; or (B) agrees to indemnify the relevant Target Company; or 11.5.3 to the extent that the taking of that action and/or the application of Clause 11.2 would have an effect which would: (A) in the reasonable opinion of the Purchaser, be against the business interests of the Purchaser’s Group, excluding (for the avoidance of doubt and without prejudice to paragraph 11.5.2 (A) any effect on the liability to Tax or the Tax affairs of any member of the Purchaser’s Group or on its relationship or dealings with any Tax Authority; or (B) be illegal, unlawful or incorrect as a matter of law. 12. GROUP RELIEF – SURRENDERS BY THE TARGET GROUP 12.1 The Purchaser shall procure that (so far as is legally possible) the Target Group shall surrender to the Seller or, if the Seller so specifies, to any company which is a member of the Seller’s Group (the "Claimant Company"), any Group Relief (save where such Group Relief is a Purchaser’s Relief or such Group Relief has already been utilised in accordance with any other provision of this Deed) as the Seller may reasonably request in writing in respect of any accounting period of the Target Group which has ended prior to or which is current at Completion for nil consideration. 18

12.2 The Purchaser shall and shall procure that the Target Group shall, in each case at the sole Cost of the Seller, use all reasonable endeavours to procure that all relevant claims, elections and surrenders are made and all actions are taken to effect the surrender of the Group Relief referred to in this Clause 12. 13. VAT GROUPING ARRANGEMENTS 13.1 As soon as reasonably practicable after Completion the Seller shall procure that the Representative Member shall notify HMRC that from the Completion Date (or from as early a date as HMRC shall allow) the UK Targets will not qualify under section 43(A) of the Value Added Tax Act 1994 to be treated as members of the Seller's VAT Group and shall request for the UK Targets to be excluded from the Seller's VAT Group, where reasonably practicable, with effect from Completion and in any event from the earliest date on which the HMRC shall allow. As soon as reasonably practicable following notification from HMRC that the UK Targets have been so excluded, the Seller shall inform the Purchaser of the date from which the UK Targets shall be removed from the Seller's VAT Group. 13.2 The parties shall co-operate in the preparation of any VAT returns relating to the UK Targets and the Seller's VAT Group in respect of any VAT period ending on or before Completion and in respect of any VAT accounting period which is current at Completion and in particular, the Purchaser undertakes to procure that the UK Targets: 13.2.1 provide to the Representative Member after Completion all documents, information and assistance as it may reasonably require to enable it to comply with its obligations in the making of VAT returns and accounting for VAT to HMRC in respect of supplies or acquisitions made by the UK Targets for VAT purposes in each prescribed accounting period (as defined in section 25(1) VATA) ("Relevant PAPs") where those supplies or acquisitions are, for the purposes of section 43 VATA, treated as made by the Representative Member; and 13.2.2 (save to the extent the payment is reflected in the Completion Statement) pays to the Representative Member an amount equal to any VAT for which the Representative Member has to account to HMRC (or would have to account but for any input tax credit or repayment of VAT due from HMRC in respect of actual supplies made to the members of the VAT Group other than the UK Targets) in respect of the Relevant PAPs and which results from supplies, deemed supplies, importations or acquisitions made by the UK Targets in the Relevant PAPs but treated as made by the Representative Member under section 43(1) VATA not less than two Business Days before the Representative Member is required to pay that VAT to HMRC and, in computing the amount of VAT, credit shall be given to the UK Targets for any input tax to which it is entitled under the VATA on supplies or deemed supplies made to or importations or acquisitions made by the UK Targets in the Relevant PAPs, but treated as made to or by the Representative Member. 13.3 The Seller shall procure that the Representative Member properly and promptly complies with its obligations under paragraph 12.2.1 and accounts to HMRC for any amount in respect of VAT paid by the UK Targets under paragraph 12.2.2 and provides to the Purchaser as soon as possible copies of the VAT returns referred to in paragraph 12.2.1 and any relevant correspondence or documentation sent to or received from HMRC in connection with any matter referred to in that paragraph to the extent that they relate to the UK Targets. 13.4 The Seller shall procure that the Representative Member claims as soon as reasonably possible and pays to the UK Targets (within two Business Days of receipt from HMRC) an amount equal to any VAT which the Representative Member recovers (or would recover but for any payment due to HMRC in respect of actual supplies made by the members of the VAT Group other than the UK Targets) from HMRC in respect of Relevant PAPs and which results from supplies or deemed supplies made to or importations or acquisitions made by the UK 19

Targets in the Relevant PAPs but treated as made to or by the Representative Member under section 43(1) VATA. 14. MISCELLANEOUS 14.1 This Deed may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the Parties to it on separate counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be an original but all the counterparts together constitute one instrument and this Deed shall not be effective until each Party has executed at least one counterpart. 14.2 The provisions of clauses 16.1 (Assignment), 16.2 (Entire Agreement), 16.3 (Unenforceable Provisions), 16.4 (Further Assurance), 16.5 (No rescission), 16.6 (Third party rights), 16.8 (Waiver), 16.10 (Variation), 17 (Power of attorney), 18 (Costs and Stamp Duty), 19 (Notices) and 21 (Choice of Governing Law) and 22 (Jurisdiction) of the Agreement shall apply for the purposes of this Deed as if set out herein in full mutatis mutandis save that references in those clauses to “this Agreement” shall be construed as references to “this Deed”. 14.3 The Seller shall not plead the Limitation Act 1980 in defence of any claim brought under this Deed. 20
