Each Seller agrees and acknowledges that (1) the restrictions in this Section 4.9 are reasonable in scope and duration and are necessary to protect MSP, Buyer and the Acquired Entities after the Closing and (2) it has had the opportunity to take independent legal advice on the restrictions in this Section 4.9.

9.4 Third Party Claim Procedures.

(a) The Sellers shall be entitled to require the Buyer (in the name of the Acquired Entities if the Sellers so request) or the Acquired Entities at the expense of the Sellers to take all such reasonable steps or proceedings as the Sellers may consider reasonably necessary in order to avoid, dispute, resist, mitigate, compromise, defend or appeal against any relevant third party claim (that is to say any claim by a third party against the Acquired Entities which will or may give rise to a Claim other than a claim under the Taxation Warranties or under Section 8.1(a) (Tax Indemnity), a "Relevant Third Party Claim") and the Buyer shall act or shall procure that the Acquired Entities shall act in accordance with any such requirements subject to the Buyer and/or the Acquired Entities being indemnified by the Sellers to the reasonable satisfaction of the Buyer against all reasonable costs and expenses incurred or to be incurred in connection with the taking of such steps or proceedings.

(b) For the purpose of enabling the Sellers to avoid, dispute, resist, mitigate, compromise, defend or appeal against any Relevant Third Party Claim or to decide what steps or proceedings should be taken in order to do so, the Buyer shall:

(i) give written notice to the Sellers within 30 days of any Relevant Third Party Claim or any circumstances giving or likely to give rise to a Relevant Third Party Claim coming to its notice, provided that failure to give such notice

-64-

9.5 Limitations on Sellers' Liability.

(a) Other than as set out in Section 9.3(a) or contained in the SH Subscription and Call Option Agreement, no Seller shall be required to settle any Liability by a cash payment to the Buyer, MSP or TMW in respect of a breach of this Agreement and/or the documents in the Agreed Form and the Buyer, MSP and TMW covenant not to sue or otherwise seek to recover any cash or similar financial compensation from the Sellers in relation to any claim for breach of this Agreement and/or the documents in the Agreed Form, provided that Gresham complies with its obligations in this Section 9.5.

(b) The sole remedy available in relation to any claim under this Agreement and/or the documents in Agreed Form against the Sellers, other than under Section 9.3(a), whether it is a Claim against the Sellers or Gresham, shall be a claw back by MSP of the Consideration Shares issued to Gresham and the SH Subscriber Shares issued to Simon Hughes on Closing. Accordingly, the aggregate maximum liability of the Sellers in respect of a breach of the representations and warranties in this Agreement (other than the Title Warranties) and any claim under Section 8.1 shall be £8,139,535, being the £61.85 value attributed per share to the Consideration Shares issued on Closing ("CS Value").

(c) Gresham and Simon Hughes shall not have any Liability to MSP in relation to any claim in relation to this Agreement and/or the documents in Agreed Form, unless such claim is a Substantiated Claim.

-65-

(d) The amount payable on a Substantiated Claim shall be the amount agreed by MSP and Gresham, or determined by any such order or decree (as the case may be) to be payable in respect of such claim ("Determined Amount").

(e) Following a Substantiated Claim against any Seller or Gresham:

(i) Gresham agrees to transfer to MSP (or as MSP directs), for a gross consideration of £1, such number of Consideration Shares which when multiplied by the CS Value, equal the sum of (i) the Determined Amount and (ii) any stamp duty payable by reference to the transfer of such Consideration Shares; and

(ii) Simon Hughes agrees to transfer to MSP (or as MSP directs), for a gross consideration of £1, such number of SH Subscriber Shares as is equal to the sum of (i) an amount of SH Subscriber Shares as is equal to the Claim Proportion of all the SH Subscriber Shares issued to Simon Hughes at Closing and (ii) any stamp duty payable by reference to the transfer of such SH Subscriber Shares. For the purposes of this Section 9.5(e)(ii), "Claim Proportion" means a proportion as is equal to the number of Consideration Shares that Gresham is required to transfer to MSP pursuant to Section 9.5(e)(i) divided by the total number of Consideration Shares issued to Gresham at Closing.

(f) Neither the Sellers nor the Buyer will have any Liability in relation to any claim for breach of this Agreement and the documents in Agreed Form and no claim shall be made against any Seller unless:

(i) such individual claim exceeds £25,000 ("Individual Claim"); and unless

(ii) the aggregate liability of all such Individual Claims, when aggregated, exceeds £250,000 ("Qualifying Claim"), in which event the Sellers shall be liable for the whole of the claim and not merely the excess; and unless

(iii) such Qualifying Claim becomes a Substantiated Claim.

(g) Gresham has entered into the Security Documents as a security for all of its and the Seller's obligations, representations, warranties and covenants pursuant to Section 2.1 (Representation and Warranties of Gresham and Sellers), ARTICLE 3 (Representations and Warranties Concerning the Acquired Entities), Section 4.9 (Restrictive Covenants), Section 10.4 (Working Capital and Further Funding of Buyer) and Schedule 2 (Call Option) of this Agreement.

(i) The liability of the Sellers in relation to any claim shall absolutely terminate (if that claim has not previously been withdrawn, satisfied or settled) if legal

-66-

proceedings in respect of that claim shall not have been properly issued and validly served on the each Seller within twelve months of the date of service of any notice under paragraph (h) above.

(j) No claim may be made by MSP against the Management Sellers in relation to the General Warranties and the Taxation Warranties and the Sellers shall have no Liability under the General Warranties and the Taxation Warranties in respect of:

(i) any liability, matter or thing or disclosure which is Disclosed in the Disclosure Letter or, in respect of the certificate provided in relation to the condition in Section 6.1(a), any liability, matter or thing or disclosure which is Disclosed in the Closing Disclosure Letter; or

(ii) any warranty, representation, indemnity, covenant, undertaking given in relation to the sale of the Sale Shares except where it is expressly contained in this Agreement; or

(iii) any liability, matter or thing noted or provided for in the Audited Financial Statements and the accompanying reports of the directors and the auditors; or

(vi) any matter carried out pursuant to the condition precedents to Closing set out in ARTICLE 6, provided that any Liability of the Sellers arising in respect of the novation and capitalization of the Loan Notes will not be excluded by this Section;

(vii) any liability or matter resulting from a change in the accounting or taxation policies or practices of the Buyer or any related company of the Buyer or Acquired Entities (including the method of submitting taxation returns) introduced or having effect after Closing (unless such change is required to correct an accounting policy or practice of Acquired Entities prior to or up to Closing which did not comply with requirements of the CA 2006 or generally accepted accounting principles); or

(viii) any liability, matter or thing to the extent that it occurs as a result of or is otherwise attributable to:

-67-

(a) any law, regulation, rule or practice not in force at the date of this Agreement or any change in the interpretation of any law, regulation, rule or practice whether or not with retrospective effect; or

(b) any increase after the date of this Agreement in the rates of taxation in force at the date of this Agreement (including any effect such increase may have on any provision or reserve made in the Accounts which were prepared in good faith prior to this increase); or

(c) the Buyer or the Acquired Entities disclaiming any part of the benefit of capital or other allowances against the taxation claimed or proposed to be claimed on or before the date of this Agreement; or

(ix) any liability which is contingent only unless or until such contingent liability becomes an actual liability and is due and payable, but this Section 9.5(j)(viii) shall not operate to avoid a claim made in respect of the contingent liability within the applicable time limits specified in Article 9.1 above; or

(x) any loss for which the Buyer or the Acquired Entities is entitled to claim under a policy of insurance or for which the Buyer or the Acquired Entities would have been indemnified if at the relevant time after Closing there had been maintained adequate insurance cover of a type in force in relation to the Acquired Entities at the date of this Agreement, provided that to the extent that any such insurance claims would result in an increase in insurance costs and/or premiums for the Buyer Group, claims may be made for an amount equal to such increased costs.

(k) Where any matter or default gives or may give rise to a claim for breach of warranty, that breach shall not entitle the Buyer, MSP or TWM to damages or other compensation unless written notice of the alleged breach is given to the Sellers and the Sellers do not remedy (or procure the remedy of) the matter or default to the reasonable satisfaction of the Buyer (acting reasonably) within 30 days after the date on which such notice is received.

(l) Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way diminish the Buyer's, MSP's, TMW's or the Acquired Entities common law obligation to mitigate their loss.

(m) The Buyer, MSP and TWM agree with the Sellers that, in respect of any matter which may give rise to a claim for breach of warranty or other liability in relation to this Agreement or any of the documents in agreed form, such claim or liability shall not be met more than once.

(n) The transfer of any Consideration Shares which are transferred to MSP in satisfaction of a Determined Amount shall be deemed to constitute an adjustment to the

-68-

shareholdings of the Buyer as they would have been at Closing, if the Determined Amount had been known at that time.

(o) Buyer, MSP and TMW undertake to the Sellers to procure to the full extent that the Acquired Entities exercise all rights available to them under the terms of clauses 2, 5, 9.18, 9.19, 10, 11, 14 and Schedule 6 of the sale and purchase agreement made between Johnson Service Group plc, Semara Contract Service Limited, Johnson Investments Limited, Semara Nominees Limited and Ensco 645 Limited dated April 11, 2008 (as varied) and a tax deed made between Semara Contract Service Limited, Johnson Investments Limited, Semara Nominees Limited, Ensco 645 Limited Johnson Clothing Limited (renamed Dimensions Clothing Limited) and others dated April 28, 2008.

ARTICLE 12.
MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with the Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to all matters referred to in this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement has been negotiated on the basis that:

(a) this Agreement and the Transaction Documents contain the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties in connection with the sale and purchase of the Sale Shares and supersede and extinguish all previous agreements between the parties relating to such sale and purchase;

(b) this Agreement has been freely negotiated between the Parties, each of whom has received independent legal advice; and

(c) it is reasonable for each party to assume that, unless the other Parties have asked for any oral representations to be contained within or incorporated into this Agreement and such oral representations have been expressly contained within or incorporated into this Agreement, it is not relying upon any oral representation,

and accordingly the Parties agree that no party will owe a duty of care to any other Party and that no Party will in any respect be responsible for any oral representations made to any other Party or their respective representatives during the course of negotiations leading to exchange of this Agreement whether under sections 2(1) or 2(2) of the Misrepresentation Act 1967 or otherwise, save to the extent that they are expressly incorporated into this Agreement or have been made fraudulently.

12.2 Effect of Closing. All provisions of this Agreement shall so far as they are capable of being performed or observed continue in full force and effect notwithstanding Closing except in respect of those matters then already performed and Closing shall not constitute a waiver of any of the Buyer's or MSP's rights in relation to this Agreement. All rights and remedies conferred on the Buyer and MSP under Section 9.3(a) of this Agreement only, are (subject to Section 12.1 (Entire Agreement)) cumulative and are additional to and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law or otherwise available at any time to the Buyer or MSP in respect of a breach of that Section.

12.3 Successors. Save where otherwise agreed, all of the terms, agreements, covenants, representations, warranties and conditions of this Agreement are binding upon, and inure to the benefit of and are enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors.

12.4 Assignments. No Party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of Buyer and Sellers;

-86-

provided, however, that each of MSP and Buyer may (a) assign any or all of its rights and interests hereunder to (i) one or more of its Affiliates, (ii) any purchaser of all the Equity Interests of MSP or Buyer or all or substantially all of the assets of MSP or Buyer, or (iii) the surviving entity of any merger or other business combination to which MSP or Buyer is, directly or indirectly, a party, and (b) designate one or more of its Affiliates to perform its obligations hereunder (in any or all of which cases MSP or Buyer nonetheless shall remain responsible for the performance of all of its obligations hereunder). The Sellers shall not be liable to make any payment to any permitted assignee of the MSP or the Buyer which the Sellers would not have been liable to make to MSP or the Buyer but for such assignment and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Sellers' liability will be no greater to any permitted assignee than it would be to the MSP or the Buyer. The Buyer or MSP (as the case may be) shall notify the Sellers of any assignment pursuant to Section 12.4 within 10 Business Days of such assignment taking place by the Buyer or MSP (as the case may be), or within 20 Business Days of the Buyer becoming aware that an assignment by a permitted assignee has taken place. Any assignment purportedly carried out otherwise than in accordance with this Section 12.4 will be void, other than where failure to comply is by reason only of a bona fide omission to give notice of such assignment.

12.5 Notices. All notices, requests, demands, claims and other communications hereunder will be in writing. Any notice, request, demand, claim, or other communication hereunder shall be addressed to the intended recipient as set forth below and shall be deemed duly given when received or if it is sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, then on the earlier of when received or two Business Days after it is sent:

Any Party may change the address to which notices, requests, demands, claims and other communications hereunder are to be delivered by giving the other Parties notice in the manner herein set forth.

12.6 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Party submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement and

-88-

agrees that all claims in respect of the Action are to be heard in the courts of England and Wales. Each Party also agrees not to bring any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each Party waives any right to invoke, and agrees not to invoke, any claim of forum non-conveniens, inconvenient forum, or transfer or change of venue and waives any bond, surety, or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto. TMW and MSP appoint the Buyer as their agent to receive on their behalf service of process and any other process that might be served in an Action (the "Process Agent"). Any Party may make service on any other Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process (a) to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 12.5 or (b) to the Party to be served in care of the Process Agent at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 12.5. Each Party agrees that a final judgment (subject to any appeal) in any Action so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by action on the judgment or in any other manner provided at Law or in equity.

12.7 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Parties would be damaged irreparably if any of Section 4.3 (Access to Information), Section 4.5 (Publicity) and Section 4.9 (Restrictive Covenant) is not performed in accordance with its specific terms . Accordingly, each Party agrees that the other Parties will be entitled to apply for an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and its terms and provisions in any Action instituted in the courts of England and Wales having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter, subject to Sections 12.6 and 12.10 in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at Law or in equity.

12.8 Counterparts; Electronic Signatures and Electronic Exchange of Documents.

(a) This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

(b) The delivery of a copy of any document (including a Transaction Document) bearing the handwritten signature of a Party, by facsimile transmission (whether directly from one facsimile device to another by means of a dial-up connection or whether mediated by the worldwide web), by electronic mail in the form of a computer file in portable document format, or by any other electronic means that preserves the original graphic and pictorial appearance of the document, will have the same effect as would physical delivery of the paper document bearing such Party's original signature. In addition, the delivery by electronic means as described in the foregoing sentence or by any other means of a copy of a signature page of any document (including a Transaction Document) which signature page bears the handwritten signature of a Party, when accompanied by written instructions or confirmation (delivered by such electronic or other means) that such delivery of the copy of the signature page is intended to evidence such Party's execution of and intent to be legally bound by such document, will have the same effect as would physical delivery of the paper document bearing such Party's original signature, and that such Transaction Documents and other documents delivered in accordance with this Section 12.8(b) be legally binding and Enforceable to the same extent as if delivered physically on paper.

-89-

(c) The foregoing provisions of this Section 12.8 shall not be interpreted in any way to permit the execution of any document by an "electronic signature" (such as an electronic or digital sound, symbol, process, password, electronic identification number, security code and the like) or by any other form of signature other than a handwritten signature delivered physically on paper or by electronic means as described and in accordance with this Section 12.8.

12.9 Headings. The article and section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

12.10 Governing Law. This Agreement and any non-contractual obligations arising under it and the performance of the Transactions and obligations of the Parties hereunder will be governed by and construed in accordance with English law, without giving effect to any choice of law principles.

12.11 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment, modification, replacement, termination, or cancellation of any provision of this Agreement will be valid, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by MSP, Buyer and Sellers. No waiver by any Party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

12.12 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof, provided that any provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation or in any jurisdiction will not affect the Enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the Enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.

12.13 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or as provided in the fee schedule in the Agreed Form, each Party will bear its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the Transactions including all fees and expenses of agents, representatives, financial advisors, legal counsel and accountants. Sellers agree that no Acquired Entity has borne or will bear any costs and expenses (including any legal fees and expenses of any Seller) in connection with this Agreement or any of the Transactions. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Parties hereby agree that TMW's, MSP's and the Buyer's costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the Transactions (including all fees and expenses of agents, representatives, financial advisors, legal counsel and accountants) shall be paid by the Buyer or any Acquired Entity, up to a maximum amount of £500,000.

12.14 Construction. The word "including" means "including without limitation." The Parties intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation warranty, or covenant

-90-

contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant provided that no Party shall be liable more than once in respect of the same loss or liability.

12.15 Incorporation of Exhibits and Annexes. The Exhibits and Annexes identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

12.16 Rights of Third Parties. Except as provided in this Section 12.16, 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.

12.17 Management Sellers' Representative. Each Management Seller hereby irrevocably appoints Simon Hughes as such Management Sellers representative and attorney-in-fact (the "Management Sellers' Representative"), to act in such Management Seller's behalf and with the discretionary authority to make any and all decisions contemplated by this Agreement. The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and will be irrevocable and survive the dissolution of the applicable Management Seller. With respect to each Management Seller who is an individual, this power of attorney is not affected by any subsequent death, disability, or incapacity of such Management Seller. In all cases, regardless of the nature of such Management Seller, the foregoing power of attorney may be exercised by Management Sellers' Representative either by signing separately as attorney-in-fact for each Management Seller or, after listing all of Management Sellers executing an instrument, by a single signature of Management Sellers' Representative acting as attorney-in-fact for all of the Management Sellers.

Definitions

In this Schedule 2, unless the context otherwise requires the following expressions have the following meanings:

"Call Option" is defined in paragraph 2(a)(i) of this Schedule;

"Current Working Capital" means the Working Capital as of the end of the month prior to the exercise of the Option;

"EBITDA" means earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, calculated in accordance with IFRS, except that for the purposes of this Schedule 2, to the extent that earnings are reduced by the compensation charge related to the SH Subscriber Shares and the call option granted to MSP over such shares in the SH Subscription and Call Option Agreement, such compensation charge shall be added back to the EBITDA for the purposes of the calculations in this Schedule 2.

"Option Period" means any time after the filing of the audited accounts of Buyer for the financial year of Buyer ending on or about February 1, 2014, or sooner upon the occurrence in respect of Gresham of any of the events specified in Section 3.32 (Insolvency);

"Option Securities" means the securities of Buyer owned by Gresham and any other shares, stock or securities referred to in paragraph 5 of this Schedule;

"Purchase Consideration" means in relation to all the Option Securities an amount (having regard to the effect of any Reorganisation) equal to:

(a) where Current Working Capital exceeds Normalized Working Capital:

(A - B + C - D + E) multiplied by F

(b) where Current Working Capital is less than Normalized Working Capital:

(A - B - C - D + E) multiplied by F

Where:

A = seven (7) times EBITDA of the Buyer (as derived from the consolidated audited accounts of the Buyer for the financial year last preceding exercise of the Call Option)

B = the Indebtedness of the Buyer Group, (excluding amounts owing to trade creditors) at the last month end immediately preceding the date of exercise of the Call Option, such Indebtedness to include, for the avoidance of doubt, any accrued interest on loans or notes

-94-

(which may be classified for accounting purposes as a current liability), with such accrued interest added to the outstanding principle on any term, revolver or other loans or notes.

C = the amount by which Current Working Capital exceeds or is less than Normalized Working Capital.

D = the amount which MSP would be required to pay to Simon Hughes on exercise of the call option in the SH Subscription and Call Option Agreement following the filing of the Buyer's audited accounts for the year ended on or about February 1, 2014, but on the basis that (for the purposes of this Schedule 2 only) MSP acquires all of the SH Subscriber Shares and all of such shares are deemed to have vested at that time

E = the aggregate amount of cash or cash equivalents held by the Group at the last month end immediately preceding the date of exercise of the First Put Option minus £4,000,000

F = (the number of Option Securities) divided by (the Fully Diluted Capital of Buyer less the number of issued Buyer "B" Stock).

"Normalized Working Capital" means the average of the previous six months Working Capital plus the next six months Working Capital, calculated from the last month end immediately preceding the exercise of the Call Option, as reflected in the current budget for the Buyer Group and in the historical financial statements of the Buyer Group and taking account of any extraordinary working capital requirements for new business.

"Reorganisation" means, in relation to Buyer and/or any member of the Buyer Group, any issue by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves or by way of rights and any consolidation or sub division or reduction of capital or capital dividend or other reconstruction or adjustment relating to the equity share capital (or any shares, stock or securities derived therefrom) and any other amalgamation or reconstruction affecting the equity share capital (or any shares, stock or securities derived therefrom) or the business and assets (excluding stock sold in the Ordinary Course of Business) of the Buyer and/or any member of the Buyer Group.

"Working Capital" means current assets (excluding cash) less current liabilities, as recorded in the management accounts of the Company and determined in accordance with IFRS applying the same accounting principles, policies and practices as used in preparing the annual audited accounts of the Company.

MSP shall pay or procure the payment:

	(A)		to Gresham (or as Gresham may direct) of the Purchase Consideration, less any Retention Sum; and

	(b)		References to the Option Securities and the Purchase Consideration shall be so construed as to give full effect to this paragraph 5.

MSP covenants

(a)

it shall not, at any time between Closing and the completion of the Call Option, effect any sale or intra-group reorganisation whereby any member of the Buyer Group or the business and assets of the Buyer Group immediately following Closing, is/are transferred out of and no longer form part of the Buyer Group, without having agreed with Gresham how such transfer should effect the calculation of the Purchase Consideration under the Call Option.

Outstanding Claims and Retention Account

	(a)		If at the date that the Call Option is exercised, there is any outstanding or ongoing claim against any of the Sellers under the Agreement or any of the documents in the Agreed Form that has been notified to them in accordance with Section 9.5(h) (*"Outstanding Claim"), an amount equal to such alleged Outstanding Claim ("Retention Sum") shall be placed in a joint deposit account with a bank of international repute as nominated by MSP, to be opened in the names of legal counsel nominated by MSP and legal counsel nominated by Gresham (the "Retention Account"*). For the avoidance of doubt, an Outstanding Claim shall include any Claim in respect of which an Acquired Entity is still pursuing the rights specified in Section 9.5(o).

	(b)		The Retention Sum shall be retained in the Retention Account until:

	(i)		the Outstanding Claim is settled or resolved on terms that a payment is to be made by Gresham to MSP, in which case Gresham shall be deemed to have authorised that such payment is paid to MSP from the Retention Account;

	(ii)		the Outstanding Claim is settled or resolved on terms that no payment is to be made by Gresham to Seller, in which case the amount standing to the credit of the Retention Account, together with all accrued interest shall be paid to Gresham,

			and the parties shall instruct their respective legal counsel in whose name the Retention Account has been opened, to arrange for any such payments to be made within such seven days of the date on which the claim is Settled or Resolved.

	(e)		Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.6, any Outstanding Claim in respect of which a Retention Sum has been placed into the Retention Account, shall be finally resolved by arbitration before a tribunal of three

-98-

			arbitrators under the UNCITRAL rules of arbitration. The seat of arbitration shall be London and the language of arbitration English. The appointing body shall be the London Court of International Arbitration.

	(f)		The parties hereby exclude the right to appeal on a point of law pursuant to section 69 Arbitration Act 1996.

	(g)		The parties agree that the arbitration, any award and all documents disclosed and produced in the arbitration shall be confidential and not disclosed to any third party, save as required by law or any regulatory authority.

	(h)		For the avoidance of doubt, the parties' submission to arbitration does not deprive any competent court of jurisdiction in relation to interim and conservatory measures, or in relation to the enforcement of any award.

Subject to paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Schedule, and subject to Section 9.5, Management Sellers shall be liable to the Buyer for an amount equal to, which Gresham and Simon Hughes shall in accordance with Section 9.5 provide the sole remedy for by way of a claw back of Consideration Shares and SH Subscriber Shares:

	(a)		any debt under section 75 or section 75A of the 1995 Act which the trustees of the Semara DB Scheme seek to impose upon Dimensions Clothing Limited (company no. 454264) as a result of the failure or the alleged failure of the deed of discharge dated April 11, 2008 to assign all and any liabilities of Dimensions Clothing Limited to Johnson Service Group plc; and

	(b)		any debt which the trustees of the Johnson DB Scheme seek to impose on Dimensions Clothing Limited (company no. 454264) as a result of the failure or alleged failure of Dimensions Clothing Limited failing to pay the expenses payable under the 2005 Regulations in connection with its cessation of participation in the Johnson DB Scheme; and

	(c)		all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable legal costs) Buyer, any member of Buyer's Affilitated Group, or any Acquired Entity suffers or incurs in connection with or as a result of any claim that a liability in relation to the Semara DB Scheme or Johnson DB Scheme arises under paragraph 1(a) or 1(b) above,

2		The Liability for any claim pursuant to paragraph 1 of this Schedule shall be reduced to the extent that any amount is recoveed under the terms of clause 14 and/or schedule 6 of the sale and purchase agreement made between Johnson Service Group plc, Semara Contract Service Limited, Johnson Investments Limited, Semara Nominees Limited and Ensco 645 Limited dated April 11, 2008 (as varied).

3		Save where the Buyer or the Acquired Entities may be required to do so by a regulatory authority or overriding legislation, the Buyer agrees that no Seller shall have any Liability under paragraph 1 of this Schedule if the Buyer solicits a claim or otherwise takes any action in relation to the trustees of the DB Schemes without the consent of the Sellers (not to be unreasonable withheld, conditioned or delayed) which puts them on notice of a potential right of action against the Sellers and/or the Acquired Entities in relation to the subject matter of paragraph 1,.

	(c)		the price per share at which he wishes to sell or transfer the Sale Shares; and

(d)

whether or not it is conditional upon all and not part only of the Sale Shares being sold or offered and in the absence of such stipulation it shall be deemed not to be so conditional (Total Transfer Condition).

7.14

The Transfer Notice shall constitute the Company the agent of the Vendor for the .sale of the Sale Shares in accordance with this article 7.14, at the following price (Transfer Price):

	(a)		with Investor Consent, at the price per share specified in the Transfer Notice; or

	(b)		at such other price per share as may be agreed between the Vendor and the Board (with Investor Consent); or

	(c)		if such price has not been so specified or cannot be so agreed, at the Fair Value.

7.15		A Transfer Notice once given or deemed to be given shall not be capable of withdrawal without Investor Consent, save that where the Vendor has served (as opposed to being deemed to have served) a Transfer Notice in circumstances where the Vendor is not obliged to do so pursuant to these articles and the Fair Value is either less than the price specified in the Transfer Notice or, if no price was specified, is otherwise not acceptable to the Vendor, the Vendor shall be entitled to withdraw such Transfer Notice at any time within the period of seven days of having been notified of the Fair Value in writing. If he fails so to do, the Vendor shall be deemed to have accepted the same and the Transfer Notice may not subsequently be withdrawn without Investor Consent.

7.16		The Company shall within 14 days of receipt of a Transfer Notice or, where the Fair Value is to be determined, upon receipt of such valuation, give notice in writing to each of the Members who are Members holding Equity Shares at the close of business on the date that the Transfer Notice is received by the Company and who are entitled to be offered Sale Shares as specified in the remaining provisions of this Article 7.16 (other than the Vendor or any other Member who has served or who is deemed to have served a Transfer Notice which is still outstanding) (Relevant Member) informing him that the Sale Shares are available and of the Transfer Price and shall invite him to state in writing within 45 days from the date of the said notice (which date shall be specified therein) whether he is willing to purchase any and, if so, how many of the Sale Shares. All Sale Shares mentioned in any Transfer Notice shall be offered in the first instance to all Relevant Members holding shares of the same class as the Sale Shares on the terms that in the case of competition the shares so offered shall be sold to each Relevant Member accepting the offer in the proportion (as nearly as may be) that his existing holding of shares of such class bears to the total number of shares of such class held by all of the Relevant Members (excluding the Sale Shares) (proportionate entitlement). It shall be open to each Relevant Member to specify if he is willing to purchase shares in excess of his proportionate entitlement (excess shares). Insofar as such shares first offered shall not be allocated in accordance with article 7.16, a second offer shall be deemed to have been made in the same manner to Relevant Members holding shares of other classes as follows:

	(a)		if the Sale Shares are A Shares, the offer shall secondly be made to all Relevant Members holding B Shares;

	(b)		if the Sale Shares are B Shares, the offer shall secondly be made to all Relevant Members holding A Shares; and

	(c)		if the Sale Shares are C Shares, the offer shall secondly be made to all Relevant Members holding A or B Shares.

7.17

After the expiry of the said period of 45 days or sooner if all the Sale Shares offered shall have been accepted in the manner provided in article 7.16 above, the Board shall allocate the Sale Shares in the following manner:

	(a)		if the total number of shares applied for is equal to or less than the number of the Sale Shares, the Company shall allocate the number applied for in accordance with the applications; or

	(b)		if the total number of shares applied for is more than the number of Sale Shares, each Relevant Member shall be allocated his proportionate entitlement or such lesser number of Sale Shares for which he may have applied and applications for excess shares shall be allocated (as nearly as may be) in the proportions which applications for excess shares bear to one another,

		and in either case the Company shall forthwith give notice of each such allocation (Allocation Notice) to the Vendor and each of the persons to whom Sale Shares have been allocated (Applicant) and shall specify in the Allocation Notice the place and time (being not later than seven days after the date of the Allocation Notice) at which the sale of the Sale Shares shall be completed.

7.18		Upon such allocations being made as aforesaid, the Vendor shall be bound, on payment of the Transfer Price, to transfer the shares comprised in the Allocation Notice to the Applicant named therein at the time and place therein specified. If he makes any default in so doing the Chairman, or falling him one of the directors or some other person duly nominated by the Investor Directors, shall forthwith be deemed to be the duly appointed attorney of the Vendor with full power to execute, complete and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Vendor, a transfer of the relevant Sale Shares to the Applicant and the Board may receive and give a good discharge for the purchase money on behalf of the Vendor and (subject to the transfer being duly stamped) enter the name of the Applicant in the register of Members as the holder or holders by transfer of the shares so purchased by him or them. The Company shall forthwith pay the purchase money into a separate bank account in the Company's name and shall hold such money in trust for the Vendor until he shall deliver up his certificate or certificates for the relevant shares to the Company (or an Indemnity in respect thereof reasonably satisfactory to the Company) when he

		shall thereupon be paid the purchase money. The Company shall have no liability to pay or account for any interest on any such monies.

7.19		If the Transfer Notice included a Total Transfer Condition then, if the total number of shares applied for is less than the number of Sale Shares, the Allocation Notice shall refer to such provision and shall contain a further invitation open for 28 days to those persons to whom Sale Shares have been allocated to apply for further Sale Shares and completion of the sale in accordance with the preceding paragraphs of this article shall be conditional upon such provisions as aforesaid being complied with in full.

7.20		In the event of all the Sale Shares not being sold under the preceding paragraphs of this article the Vendor may, at any time within three calendar months after receiving confirmation from the Company that the pre-emption provisions herein contained have been exhausted, transfer any Sale Shares not sold to any person or persons at any price being not less than the Transfer Price provided that:

	(a)		such person or persons must have been previously approved by the Majority Investors (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld unless the proposed transferee is a person reasonably considered by the Majority Investors to be a competitor or connected with a competitor of the business of the Group);

	(b)		if the Transfer Notice included a Total Transfer Condition, the Vendor shall not be entitled, save with the written consent of the Majority Investors, to sell hereunder only some of the Sale Shares to such person or persons; and

	(c)		any such sale shall be a bona fide sale and the Board and/or the Investor Directors may require to be reasonably satisfied, in such manner as they may require, that the Sale Shares are being sold in pursuance of a bona fide sale for the consideration stated in the Transfer Notice without any deduction, rebate or allowance whatsoever to the purchaser and if not so satisfied the Board may refuse to register the instrument of transfer.

7.21

For the purpose of ensuring that a transfer of shares is duly authorised hereunder or that no circumstances have arisen whereby a Transfer Notice is required to be given hereunder the Board and/or the Investor Directors may from time to time require any Member or the legal personal representatives of any deceased Member or any person named as transferee in any transfer lodged for registration to furnish to the Company such information and evidence as the Board and/or the Investor Directors may think fit regarding any matter which they deem relevant to such purpose including (but not limited to) the names and addresses and interests of all persons respectively having interests in the shares from time to time registered in the Member's name. Failing such information or evidence being furnished to the satisfaction of the Board and/or the Investor Directors within 28 days after request, the Board (unless otherwise agreed by the Investor Directors) shall refuse to register the transfer in question or (in case no transfer is in

		question) to require by notice in writing that a Transfer Notice be given in respect of the shares concerned. If such information or evidence discloses that a Transfer Notice ought to have been given in respect of any shares the Board and/or the Investor Directors may by notice in writing require that a Transfer Notice be given in respect of the shares concerned.

		Fair Value

7.22		In the event that it is necessary to establish the Fair Value, the following provisions shall apply:

	(a)		unless otherwise agreed by the Board (with Investor Consent) and the Vendor, the Fair Value shall be determined on the application of the Board (with Investor Consent) by the Auditors acting as experts and not as arbitrators and their determination shall be final and binding. The costs of the Auditors shall be payable by the Company unless the Board (with Investor Consent) has offered a price for the shares which has not been accepted by the Vendor and the Fair Value is determined to be less than that price, in which case, the costs of the Auditors shall be borne by the Vendor;

	(b)		the Fair Value shall be determined by the Auditors first valuing the Company as a whole:

	(i)		assuming, if the Company is then carrying on business as a going concern, that it will continue to do so;

	(ii)		assuming that the entire issued share capital of the Company is being sold as between willing buyer and willing seller by arm's-length private treaty for cash payable in full on completion, and therefore giving no reduction or increase in value due to the Shares being sold being a majority or minority shareholding;

	(iii)		taking account of any shares which may be allotted pursuant to options which have been issued by the Company and which are still outstanding;

	(iv)		taking account of any bona fide offer for the Company received from an unconnected third party within six months of the Transfer Notice being served or deemed to have been served; and/or

	(v)		recognising that in any other circumstances the shares of the Company are not freely marketable;

(c)

having valued the Company as a whole, the Auditors shall determine the Fair Value of the shares concerned having taken account of any amounts due to the holders of the Investor Debt (whether in respect of redemptions or arrears of accruals of interest).

		Change of control

7.23		Notwithstanding the provisions relating to the transfer of shares in these articles, no transfer of shares which would result, if made and registered, in a person obtaining or increasing a Controlling Interest shall be made or registered unless an Approved Offer is made

7.24		For the purposes of article 7.23:

		Approved Offer means an offer in writing for all the Equity Shares (including any shares which may be allotted during the offer period or upon the offer becoming unconditional pursuant to the exercise or conversion of options or rights to subscribe for or securities convertible into shares in existence at the date of such offer) which offers the same or equivalent consideration for each Equity Share whether in cash, securities or otherwise in any combination (unless in the case of a particular Member less favourable terms are agreed in writing) and which:

	(a)		is stipulated to be open for acceptance for at least 21 days,

	(b)		includes an undertaking by the offeror that no other consideration (whether in cash or otherwise) is to be received or receivable by any Member which, having regard to the substance of the transaction as a whole, can reasonably be regarded as an addition to the price paid or payable for the Equity Shares to be sold by such Member and neither the offeror nor any person acting by agreement or understanding with it has entered into more favourable terms or has agreed more favourable terms with any other Member for the purchase of Equity Shares,

	(c)		except with Investor Consent, in the case of the A Shares, includes provision for the payment of all arrears or accruals of the Participating Dividend and a price for each A Share which is not less than the subscription price (including any premium),

	(d)		except with Investor Consent, makes provision for the redemption of all outstanding Investor Debt (including payment of all arrears or accruals of interest), and

	(e)		has Investor Consent.

		Controlling Interest in relation to a person means the ownership by that person and his or its connected persons of shares carrying the right to more than 50 per cent of the total number of votes which may be cast on a poll at a general meeting of the Company.

7.25		Any transfer of shares in the Company pursuant to an Approved Offer shall not be subject to the restrictions on transfer or pre-emption provisions contained in these articles.

7.26		Any transfer of A Shares which is a Permitted Transfer and which results in a person obtaining or increasing a Controlling Interest shall not require an Approved Offer.

7.27		If at any time an Approved Offer is made which is accepted by the Majority Investors, the holders of shares in the Company who have not accepted the Approved Offer shall be obliged to accept the Approved Offer in respect of the shares held by them and to sell all of the shares held by them in accordance with such Approved Offer.

7.28		If any person (Compulsory Transferor) fails to transfer any shares pursuant to an Approved Offer in accordance with article 7.23 above within 28 days of the Approved Offer having been made the directors may (and will, if so requested by the Investor Directors) authorise any person to execute and deliver on his behalf the necessary stock transfer form and the Company shall receive the purchase money in trust for the Compulsory Transferor and cause the purchaser to be registered as the holder of such shares (subject to payment of any stamp duty). The receipt of the Company for the purchase money shall be a good discharge to the purchaser (who shall not be bound to see to the application thereof). The Compulsory Transferor shall in such case be bound to deliver up his certificate for such shares to the Company whereupon he shall be entitled to receive the purchase price without interest.

8		General Meetings

8.1		No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum of Members is present at the time when the meeting proceeds to business. One person, being a Member present in person or by proxy or a duly authorised representative of a corporation, shall be a quorum at any general meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing and so long as there are any A Shares in issue, there shall be no quorum unless there shall be present in person or by proxy or by duly authorised representative the holder(s) of not less than 50 per cent of the issued A Shares in the Company. If no such quorum is so present then the meeting shall stand adjourned for a period of not less than seven days to such time and place as the directors shall agree and notify to the Members. If no such Member is so present at the adjourned meeting then subject to the foregoing provisions of this article the Members then present in person or by proxy or by duly authorised representatives shall constitute a quorum.

8.2		A general meeting may consist of a conference between Members, some or all of whom are in different places if each Member who participates is able:

	(a)		to hear each of the other participating Members addressing the meeting; and

	(b)		if he so wishes, to address all of the other participating Members simultaneously,

		whether directly, by conference telephone or by any other form of communications equipment (whether in use when these articles are adopted or not) or by a combination of those methods.

		A quorum is deemed to be present if those conditions are satisfied in respect of at least the number of Members required to form a quorum. A meeting held in this way is deemed to take place at the place where the largest group of participating members is assembled or, if no such

		group is readily identifiable, at the place from where the chairman of the meeting participates. A resolution put to the vote of a meeting will be decided by each Member indicating to the chairman (in such manner as the chairman may direct) whether the Member votes in favour of or against the resolution or abstains. References in this article 8 to Members includes their duly appointed proxies and, in the case of corporate members, their duly authorised representatives.

8.3		A corporation which is a member of the Company may, by resolution of its directors or other governing body, authorise such a person or persons as it thinks fit to act as its representative or representatives at any meeting of the Company or at any meeting of any class of Members. The provisions of the Act shall apply to determine the powers that may be exercised at any such meeting by any person so authorised. The corporation shall, for the purposes of these articles, be deemed to be present in person at any such meeting if any person so authorised is present at it, and all references to attendance and voting to person shall be construed accordingly.

8.4		In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the chairman of the meeting at which the show of hands takes place or at which the poll is demanded shall not be entitled to a second or casting vote.

8.5		With respect to a written resolution to be passed in accordance with the procedure in chapter 2 of part 13 of the 2006 Act, in the case of a corporation which holds a share, the signature of any director or the secretary thereof shall be sufficient authentication.

8.6		Subject to article • a form appointing a proxy shall be in writing in the usual form, or in such other form which the directors may approve, and shall be executed by or on behalf of the appointor.

8.7		Subject to the Act, the directors may resolve to allow a proxy to be appointed by an Electronic Communication subject to such limitations, restrictions or conditions as the Directors think fit (including, without limitation, the ability to require such evidence as they consider appropriate to decide whether the appointment of a proxy in such manner is effective).

8.8		The appointment of proxy shall be valid if such appointment is brought to the attention of the chairman of the meeting at any time prior to the taking of any vote (whether on a show of hands or on a poll) (including after the commencement of the meeting).

9		Accounts

		Every Financial Year of the Company shall commence on 1 January and end on 31 December. The directors shall cause to be prepared, in accordance with the provisions of the Act, a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the end of each such Financial Year and a consolidated profit and loss account of the Company and its subsidiaries for each such Financial Year (which said balance sheet and profit and loss account are hereinafter collectively referred to as the Accounts).

10		Directors

10.1		The directors shall not be subject to retirement by rotation and the last sentence of regulation 84 of Table A shall not apply and regulation 67 shall be amended accordingly.

10.2		In the case of an equality of votes at any meeting the chairman of the meeting shall not be entitled to a second or casting vote Regulation 88 of Table A shall be modified accordingly.

10.3		An alternate director may represent more than one director. An alternate director shall be entitled at any meeting of the Board or of any committee of the Board, to one vote for every director whom he represents in addition to his own vote (if any) as a director, but he shall count as only one for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present.

10.4		The Investor Directors may each, by notice in writing served on the Company, appoint such person as they shall determine (whether or not he is a director of the Company) to be their alternate director and may by notice in writing served on the Company remove an alternate director so appointed by them and such appointment or removal does not need to be approved by resolution of the directors. Regulation 65 of Table A shall be amended accordingly.

10.5		An alternate director who is absent from the United Kingdom shall be entitled to receive notice of all meetings of directors and of committees of directors of which his appointer is a member. An alternate director may waive the requirement that notice be given to him of a meeting of directors or of a committee of directors of which his appointor is a member, either prospectively or retrospectively. Regulation 66 of Table A is amended accordingly.

10.6		The quorum for the transaction of the business of the Board shall be two provided that no business transacted at a meeting of the Board shall be valid unless at least seven days' prior written notice of such meeting shall have been served on the Investor Directors or (if one has not been appointed) on the Majority Investors or such notice has been waived in writing by the Investor Directors or (if one has not been appointed) by the Majority Investors and unless (if appointed) the Investor Directors are present in person or by their alternate directors (unless they shall have previously waived in writing the requirement of his attendance in relation to that meeting). If the Investor Directors are not present notwithstanding such notice (unless they have waived their attendance as aforesaid) then the meeting shall stand adjourned for a period of not less than seven days to such time and place as those directors present shall agree and notify to the Investor Director. If the Investor Directors fail to attend such adjourned meeting whether in person or by their alternate directors the meeting may notwithstanding proceed.

10.7		Any director or member of a committee of the Board may participate in a meeting of the directors or such committee by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment whereby all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other and any director or member

		of a committee participating in a meeting in this manner shall be deemed to be present in person at such meeting.

10.8		The holder or holders of such number of shares as give the right to a majority of votes at general meetings of the Company may, by giving notice on the Company, remove any director from office and/or appoint any person to be a director. The notice must be signed by or on behalf of such holder or holders (and may consist of several documents in similar form each signed by or on behalf of one or more holders) and must be left at or sent by post or fax to the registered office or such other place designated by the directors for the purpose. Such removal or appointment will take effect when the notice is received by the Company or on such later date (if any) as may be specified in the notice. This article will not apply to the appointment or removal of an Investor Director.

10.9		The office of a director will be vacated if:

	(a)		he ceases to be a director by virtue of any provision of the Act or he becomes prohibited by law from being a director;

	(b)		he becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors generally;

	(c)		he becomes, in the opinion of all his co-directors acting reasonably, incapable by reason of mental disorder of discharging his duties as director;

	(d)		he resigns his office by notice in writing to the Company;

	(e)		(other than in the case of the Investor Directors) he has for more than six consecutive months been absent without permission of the directors from meetings of directors held during that period and his alternate director (if any) has not during that period attended any such meetings instead of him, and the directors (with Investor consent) resolve that his office be vacated;

	(f)		(other than in the case of the Investor Directors) he is removed from office by notice addressed to him at his last-known address and signed (with Investor consent) by all his co-directors;

	(g)		(other than in the case of the Investor Directors) he is removed from office by notice given by a member or members under article 10.8, or

	(h)		being an executive director he ceases, for whatever reason, to be employed by any member of the Group.

10.10

Without prejudice to the obligation of any director to disclose his interest in accordance with section 317 of the 1985 Act, a director may vote at a meeting of directors or of a committee of

		directors on any resolution concerning a matter in which he has, directly or indirectly, an interest or duty provided that he has first obtained Investor Consent (unless the director concerned is an Investor Director, in which case no such consent will be required). The director will be counted in the quorum present when any such resolution is under consideration and if he votes, his vote will be counted.

10.11		The remuneration of the directors shall be determined in accordance with the Investment Agreement.

11		Borrowing Powers

11.1		Subject as provided in these articles the Board may exercise all the powers of the Company (whether express or implied):

	(a)		to borrow or secure the payment of money;

	(b)		to guarantee the payment of money and the fulfilment of obligations and the performance of contracts;

	(c)		to enter into leasing, hire or credit purchase transactions; and

	(d)		to mortgage or charge the property, assets and uncalled capital of the Company and issuing debentures.

11.2		In exercising such powers no lender or other person dealing with the Company shall be concerned to see or enquire whether the limit imposed by this article • is observed and no debt or liability incurred in excess of such limit shall be invalid and no security given for the same shall be invalid or ineffectual except in the case of express notice to the lender or recipient of the security or person to whom the liability is incurred at the time when the debt or liability was incurred or the security given that the limit hereby imposed had been or was thereby exceeded.

12		Directors' power to authorise conflict situations

12.1		For the purposes of section 175 of the 2006 Act, the directors shall have the power to authorise, on such terms (including as regards duration and revocation), and subject to such limits or conditions, if any, as they may determine (but so that any authorisation in respect of an Investor Director shall not be subject to any such terms, limits or conditions), any matter proposed to them in accordance with these articles which would or might, if not so authorised, constitute or give rise to a situation (a "Relevant Situation") in which a director (an "Interested Director") has, or can have, a direct or indirect interest which conflicts, or possibly may conflict, with the interests of the Company (including, without limitation, in relation to the exploitation of any property, information or opportunity, whether or not the Company could take advantage of it).

12.2		Where directors give authority under article 12.1 the terms of the authority shall be recorded in writing (but the authority shall be effective whether or not the terms are so recorded).

12.3		A Relevant Situation pursuant to this Article 12 shall extend to any actual or possible conflict of interest which may reasonably be expected to arise out of the Relevant Situation so authorised.

12.4		Any such authorisation will be effective only if:

	(a)		at the meeting of the directors at which the Relevant Situation is considered any requirement as to quorum is met without counting the Interested Director; and

	(b)		the authorisation was agreed to without any Interested Director voting, or would have been agreed to if the votes of all Interested Directors had not been counted; and

	(c)		where it is in relation to any Director other than the Investor Director, the Investor Director has consented to the authorisation being given.

12.5		Subject to article 12.3(b), any proposal made to the directors and any authorisation by the directors in relation to a Relevant Situation shall be dealt with in the same way as that in which any other matter may be proposed to and resolved upon by the directors.

12.6		For the purposes of this Article 12, a conflict of interest includes a conflict of interest and duty and a conflict of duties.

12.7		An Interested Director shall be obliged:

	(a)		to disclose to the other directors the nature and extent of his interest in any Relevant Situation, such disclosure to be made as soon as reasonably practicable; and

	(b)		other than in the case of an Investor Director, to act in accordance with any terms, limits or conditions determined by the directors under Article 12.1.

12.8

Any authorisation of a Relevant Situation given by the directors under Article 12.1 shall mean that:

	(a)		where the Interested Director obtains (other than through his position as a director of the Company) information that is confidential to a third party, he will not be obliged to disclose it to the Company or to use it in relation to the Company's affairs in circumstances where to do so would amount to a breach of that confidence;

	(b)		where the Interested Director has a direct or indirect interest in a matter which conflicts, or may conflict, with the interests of the Company, he may absent himself from the discussion of such matter at any meeting of the directors and be excused from reviewing papers prepared by or for the directors to the extent that they relate to that matter; and

	(c)		the Interested Director may exclude himself from the receipt of information, the participation in discussion and/or the making of decisions (whether at directors' meetings or otherwise) related to the matter which the Interested Director has a direct or direct interest which conflicts, or may conflict, with the interests of the Company,

			and anything done (or omitted to be done) by the Interested Director in accordance with any such provision (or otherwise in accordance with the terms of any authorisation given under article 12.1) will not constitute a breach by him of his duties under sections 172 to 174 Companies Act 2006.

	(d)		Any conflict of interest of the Investor Director or the Chairman may be authorised either by way of authorisation of the Board pursuant to this Article 28 or by way of resolution of the holders of the Shares. Any refusal of the Board to authorise such conflict of interest will not in any way affect the validity of a resolution of the holders of the Shares to authorise such conflict of interest.

14		Indemnity

14.1		Subject to the provisions of the Act, but without prejudice to any indemnity to which a director may otherwise by entitled, every director or other officer of the Company shall be indemnified out of the assets of the Company against any liability (other than any liability arising out of the Investment Agreement) sustained or incurred by him in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, relating to his conduct as an officer or employee of the Company, in which judgment is given in his favour (or the proceedings are otherwise disposed of without any finding or admission of any material breach of duty on his part) or in which he is acquitted or in connection with any application in which relief is granted to him by the court from liability for negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the affairs of the Company.
