(d)

11.4	Any payment made by the Sellers in respect of a Sellers Breach shall be deemed to be a reduction of the Purchase Price.

11.5

If and to the extent that the amount of any allowance, provision or reserve (including any allowance, provision or reserve taken into account in calculating the value of an asset) made in the Accounts (and not released prior to Completion) is in excess of the amount actually accrued or paid in respect of the matter for which such allowance, provision or reserve was made or is established to have been excursive, the amount of such excess allowance, provision or reserve, receipt, understatement or overstatement shall be credited against, and applied in relieving Sellers from, any liability they would otherwise occur in respect of any Warranty Claim, but only to the extent such amount is actually accrued or paid and is specifically covered by such allowance provision or reserve.

11.6

If:

(a)	any Seller makes a payment in respect of a Warranty Claim (the Damages Payment);

(b)	any Group Company or the Purchaser actually receives any sum which would not have been received but for the circumstance which gave rise to that Warranty Claim (the Third Party Sum);

(c)	the receipt of that sum was not taken into account in calculating the Damages Payment; and

(d)	the aggregate of the Third Party Sum and the Damages Payment exceeds the amount required to compensate the Purchaser in full for the loss or liability which gave rise to the Warranty Claim in question, such excess being the Excess Recovery,

then the Purchaser shall, on receipt of the Third Party Sum by it or the relevant Group Company, repay to that Seller an amount equal to the lower of (i) the Excess Recovery and (ii) the Damages Payment, after deducting (in either case) all costs incurred by the Purchaser or the relevant Group Company in recovering that sum and any taxation payable by the Purchaser or any Group Company by virtue of its receipt.

11.7	The Sellers shall not be liable in respect of a Warranty Claim if and to the extent it relates to any obligation on the part of a Group Company which has been made good by insurers.

11.8	Purchaser shall not be entitled to recover from Sellers more than once in respect of any one matter even if more than one Sellers' Warranty or indemnification as listed in Clause 13 is breached.

12.	THIRD PARTY CLAIMS

12.1	If a Warranty Claim arises as a result of or in connection with a liability or alleged liability to a third party (a Third Party Claim), then the Purchaser will exclusively assume the conduct of any appeal, dispute, compromise or defence of such Third Party Claim.

12.2

The Purchaser will, however, keep the other parties promptly informed of the progress and timely consult with the other parties in relation to such Third Party Claim. The Purchaser shall provide the Sellers with copies of all relevant documents and such information in its possession as may reasonably be requested by Sellers. The Purchaser shall consult with the Sellers in relation to the conduct of any appeal, dispute, compromise or defence of the Third Party Claim.

12.3

The Purchaser shall procure that the relevant Indemnified Party and the Company, to the extent reasonably practicable, consults with the Sellers in relation to the conduct of any appeal, dispute, compromise or defence of the Third Party Claim and the Purchaser shall not and shall procure that the Company shall not settle out of court a Third Party Claim without prior written consult with the Sellers.

(c)	any and all liabilities, claims and costs incurred or sustained by any Group Company, the Purchaser or any member of Purchaser's Group arising out of any claim, including an infringement claim, in connection with or related to open source materials;

(d)	any amount due at Completion to the relevant counterparties as set out in Annex 3 (Closing Amounts) in excess of the Debt Amounts as set out in Annex 3 (Closing Amounts);

(e)

any and all liabilities, claims and costs incurred or sustained by a Group Company resulting from any non-commercial financial guarantees, sureties and/or statements of joint liability issued by a Group Company on behalf of or in favour of third parties (including any members of Sellers' Group) and any legal (wettelijke aansprakelijkheid) or contractual liability for obligations (including obligations relating to Taxation) of third parties (including any members of Sellers' Group), to the extent that no sufficient provision has been included in the Accounts and outside the normal course of business; and

(f)	rights of recourse (regresrecht) of third parties (including any members of Sellers' Group) against a Group Company in relation to obligations referred to under Clause 13.1(a), to the extent that no sufficient provision has been included in the Accounts.

14.	PROTECTIVE COVENANTS

14.1	Each Seller and each Indirect Shareholder covenant with the Purchaser for itself and for the benefit of the Group Companies that it shall not and shall procure that no member of the Sellers' Group shall:

(g)	after Completion use or (insofar as it can reasonably do so) allow to be used (except by the Group Companies ) any trade name used by a Group Company at Completion or any other name intended or likely to be confused with such a trade name.

14.2	For the purposes of this Clause:

disregarding any financial interest of a person in securities which are listed or traded on any generally recognised market if that person, the Seller and any person connected with him or them (the Investors) are together interested in securities which amount to less than 1% of the issued securities of that class and which, in all circumstances, carry less than 1% of the voting rights (if any) attaching to the issued securities of that class, and provided that none of the Investors is involved in the management or supervision of the business of the issuer of the relevant securities or of any person connected with it other than by the exercise of voting rights attaching to the securities; and

(b)	references to a Group Company include its successors in business.

14.3	Each of the restrictions in each paragraph or subclause above shall be enforceable by the Purchaser independently of each of the other restrictions and its validity shall not be affected if any of the other restrictions proves to be invalid.

14.4

The parties acknowledge the importance of the non competition and confidentiality obligations in this Clause 14 for the Purchaser and that such amounts represent a genuine and reasonable estimate of the damage likely to be suffered by any relevant Indemnified Party if the Sellers breach any of its obligations under this Clause 14.

15.	CONFIDENTIALITY

15.1

Subject to subclause 15.2, no party shall make or permit any person connected with it to make any announcement concerning this sale and purchase or any ancillary matter before, on or after Completion, without the prior written approval of all other parties to this agreement, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or denied.

(a)	with the written approval of the other parties, which in the case of any announcement shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;

(b)

to the extent required pursuant to any Legal Requirement, however, a party required to disclose any confidential information shall promptly notify the other parties, where practicable and lawful to do so, before disclosure occurs and co-operate with the other parties regarding the timing and content of such disclosure or any action which the other parties may reasonably elect to take to challenge the validity of such requirement;

(c)	to the extent that the information is in or comes into the public domain other than as a result of a breach of any undertaking or duty of confidentiality by any person; or

(d)

to that party's professional advisers, auditors or bankers, but before any disclosure to any such person the relevant party shall procure that such person is made aware of the terms of this Clause 15 and shall use its best endeavours to procure that each such person adheres to those terms as if he were bound by the provisions of this Clause 15.
