6.4

7


 

6.8

 

The Seller is not liable for any Claim to the extent that the Claim:

 

 

6.8.1

 

relates to matters Disclosed; or

 

 

6.8.2

 

relates to any matter to the extent provided for in the Accounts;

 

6.8.3

6.8.4

 

would not have arisen but for a change in the accounting principles, practices, policies or bases of accounting of the Company introduced after Completion;

 

6.8.5

 

is attributable to or arises, or is increased, as a result of the passing or coming into force of or any change in any enactment, law, regulation, directive, requirement or any practice of any government, government department or agency or regulatory body (including extra-statutory concessions of the Inland Revenue) after the date hereof whether or not having retrospective effect or the retrospective imposition of Tax or any increase in rates of Tax;

within a period of eighteen months beginning on the Completion Date (unless it is a claim made under the Tax Warranty or under the Tax Covenant, in which case notice shall be given within the period of six years beginning on the Completion Date); and

the liability of the Seller for any Claim or claim under the Tax Covenant specified in such notice shall absolutely determine and cease (unless the amount payable in respect of the relevant Claim has been agreed by the Seller within 6 months of the date of such written notice) if legal proceedings have not been instituted in respect of such Claim by the due service of process on the Seller within six months of such written notice (in which case such Claim shall become fully barred and unenforceable).

 

6.10

 

Where a breach of the Warranties is capable of remedy by the Seller and the Buyer serves notice requesting the Seller to remedy such breach, to the extent that the Buyer suffers no consequential damage of a different type as a result of such breach, the Buyer shall not be entitled to pursue the Claim until such breach is not remedied to the reasonable satisfaction of the Buyer at no cost to the Buyer within thirty (30) days after the date of written notice is served in accordance with clause 6.9.

 

8


 

6.11

 

The liability of the Sellers in respect of a claim under the Tax Covenant shall be reduced if and to the extent that the loss has been recovered under the Warranties and vice versa.

 

6.12

 

If any third party claim is made against the Buyer or the Company for which the Seller may be liable under the Warranties, or the Company is entitled to bring any claim against a third party based on circumstances which are reasonably likely to give rise to such a liability and provided that nothing under this clause should require the Buyer or the Company to act in a manner materially prejudicial to its business interests, the Buyer will procure that the Company will:-

 

6.12.1

 

as soon as reasonably practicable give written notice of it to the Seller specifying the nature and amount of the matter in reasonable detail;

 

 

6.12.2

 

take such action as the Seller may reasonably and properly request to conduct, avoid, dispute, resist, appeal, compromise or defend the claim, subject to the Seller indemnifying the Buyer or the Company against all liabilities, costs and expenses which it or they may reasonably incur by reason of such action and providing the Buyer with security therefor to the Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction;

 

6.12.3

 

not make any admission of liability, agreement or compromise with any person, body or authority in relation to it without prior consultation with the Seller. If the Seller shall not request the Buyer or the Company to take any such action, or shall fail to secure the liabilities, costs and expenses as aforesaid within thirty (30) days after notice shall have been given to the Seller then the Buyer shall be free to pay or settle the claim on such terms as it shall in its absolute discretion think fit.

 

6.13

 

Where the Seller has satisfied a liability under the Warranties and the Buyer or the Company has a right of reimbursement against any third party in respect of such liability, the Buyer may, in its absolute discretion, assign to the Seller the benefit of such right provided that the assignment of such right shall not materially affect the goodwill of the Company or the Buyer.

6.14

 

The Buyer shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate as required by law any loss suffered by the Buyer and the Company in respect of any Claim.

 

6.15

 

The Buyer will procure that the Company will (as appropriate) observe the terms of this clause 6 as if it were party to this Agreement.

6.16

 

The Buyer undertakes to retain, or procure the retention by the Company of, all such books, records, accounts, correspondence and other papers of the Company as are reasonably likely to be material in the context of the liability of the Seller under this agreement, and in the event that the Seller shall have conduct of any claim, to permit the Seller and the Seller’s professional advisors to have reasonable access to such of them as shall be relevant subject to the Seller and its professional advisors keeping the same strictly confidential and using the same only in conjunction with the terms of this clause 6.

 

6.17

 

The Buyer will reimburse to the Seller an amount equal to such part of any sum paid to it by the Seller in relation to any Claim which is subsequently recovered by, or repaid to, the Buyer or the Company in respect of the same from or by any third party, less the reasonable costs and disbursements incurred by the Buyer and/or the Company in recovering the same including professional costs and less any tax payable on the amount received.

 

9

Guarantee

30.1

 

In consideration of the Seller entering into this Agreement, and without prejudice to the guarantees of the Guarantor and the Company in the Loan Note Instrument, the Guarantor (as principal obligor and not merely as a surety) unconditionally and irrevocably, as a continuing obligation, hereby guarantees to the Seller the proper and punctual observance and performance by the Buyer of all its financial payment obligations in respect of the Purchase Price and any Overprovision as detailed in the Tax Covenant and agrees to indemnify the Seller against all loss, damages, costs and expenses which the Seller may suffer through or arising from any failure by the Buyer so to perform and observe the same.

 

30.2

 

If and each time that the Buyer fails for any reason whatsoever to perform or observe any of the obligations, commitments or undertakings referred to in clause 30.1, the Guarantor shall forthwith upon demand unconditionally perform (or procure the performance or observance of) and satisfy (or procure the satisfaction of) the obligation, commitment or undertaking in regard to which such failure has occurred in the manner prescribed in this Agreement or, as applicable, the Transaction Document in respect of which such failure has occurred and so that the same benefits shall be received by, or conferred on, the Seller as it would have had if such obligation, commitment or undertaking had been duly performed, observed and satisfied by the Buyer.

30.3

 

The Guarantor’s liability under this clause 30 shall remain in force notwithstanding any act, omission, neglect, event or matter whatsoever (whether or not known to the Buyer, the Seller or the Guarantor).

 

30.4

 

Demands may be made by the Seller under this clause 30 from time to time. The obligations of the Guarantor under this clause 30 are continuing obligations and shall extend to all of the obligations from time to time of the Buyer, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part, and are in addition to and not in substitution for any other security which the Seller may now or in the future hold for the obligations of the Buyer under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and may be enforced by the Seller without the Seller first having recourse to any such other security or taking any steps or proceedings against the Buyer.

30.5

 

Any release, compromise or discharge of the obligations of the Guarantor shall be deemed to be made subject to the condition that it will be void if any payment, performance or security which may be or has been received by the Seller is set aside, refunded or reduced or proves invalid for whatever reason. If such condition is satisfied, the Seller shall be entitled to recover from the Guarantor on demand the value of such security or the amount of such payment as if such discharge, release, composition or arrangement had not been effected.

 

30.6

 

As a separate, additional, continuing and primary obligation, the Guarantor, unconditionally and irrevocably, undertakes to the Seller to indemnify the Seller (on an after tax basis) on demand (without requiring the Seller first to take steps against the Buyer or any other person) against any and all losses, actions, claims, proceedings, liabilities, expenditure or costs suffered or incurred by the Seller should any amounts which would otherwise be due under this Agreement or other Transaction Document not be recoverable or the other obligations, commitments and undertakings guaranteed to be performed not be enforceable for any reason whatsoever (including (but not limited to) this Agreement or other Transaction Document being or becoming void, voidable, unenforceable or otherwise invalid).

 

17


 

30.7

 

The Guarantor hereby waives any right it may have of first requiring the Seller to proceed against, or enforce any right against, the Buyer or any other person and, the Guarantor shall not, without first obtaining the Seller’s written consent:

 

 

(a)

 

take or accept any security interest from the Buyer; or

 

(b)

 

be entitled to, and shall not, claim in competition with the Seller in any liquidation, administration, receivership (including administrative receivership) or winding-up or as part of any composition of creditors or scheme of arrangement in relation to the Buyer or any part of its assets; or

 

 

(c)

 

seek to recover, whether directly or indirectly, claim, receive or have the benefit of any payment or distribution from, or on account of, the Buyer or exercise any counterclaim, right of set-off or lien against the Buyer or any other person in relation to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document if the Buyer has defaulted hereunder or thereunder or claim the benefit of any security held by the Seller so that the Seller shall be entitled to apply any such security as it considers fit; or

 

(d)

 

exercise any other right or remedy in respect of any amount paid by the Guarantor pursuant to this guarantee,

and the Guarantor agrees that, if notwithstanding the above, the Guarantor holds or recovers any security, moneys or property from the Buyer or any third party in respect of the Buyer, the Guarantor shall hold such security, moneys or property in trust for the Seller and shall forthwith pay or transfer the same to the Seller.

30.8

 

Any amounts payable under this clause 30 shall be paid in full without any deduction or withholding whatsoever (whether in respect of set-off, counterclaim, duties, charges, taxes or otherwise) unless such deduction or withholding is required by law, in which event the Guarantor shall pay to the Seller an additional amount so that the net amount received by the Seller will equal the full amount which the Seller would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

30.9

 

The Seller may place and keep amounts received from the Guarantor pursuant to this clause or from any other surety or under any other security, to the credit of an account of the Seller or such other person as the Seller thinks fit without any liability to pay interest thereon. The Seller shall not be obliged to apply any amount so received in or toward the discharge of amounts owed hereunder until all amounts owing hereunder have been irrevocably received in full.

This agreement has been entered into on the date stated at the beginning of this agreement.
