on the basis of the Estimated Cash, the Estimated Debt, the Estimated Intra-Group Payables and the Estimated Intra-Group Receivables, the amount of the Completion Payment to be paid by the Buyer to the Seller in accordance with clause 6.3(e). |
|
|
|
|
|
(b) |
The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that as from the date of this Agreement prior to Completion, the actions listed under schedule K will be performed between certain members of the Seller’s Group and any relevant Group Companies. The Seller will keep the Buyer regularly informed of the taking of these actions and of their completion and will provide to the Buyer, for its information and upon its request, with the agreements (including drafts thereof) to be entered into in connection with these actions. The Seller shall procure that all necessary steps are taken to ensure fulfilment of these actions. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
(c) |
The Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer from and against any Claim resulting from financial, legal and Tax (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Tax arising by reason of s. 104-520 of the Australian Income Tax Assessment Act 1997) consequences of the actions to be performed by the Seller as listed under schedule K; being however agreed by the Parties that, for the purposes of this clause 5.1(c): |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(i) |
the provisions of schedule T shall not apply; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
(ii) |
subject to sub-paragraph (iii) below, no liability (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) shall attach to the Seller in respect of any Claim made on account of this clause 5.1(c) and the Seller shall have no liability of payment towards the Buyer under this clause 5.1(c) to the extent that such Claim or the events giving rise to the Claim would not have arisen on but for an act, omission or transaction of the Buyer’s Group otherwise than in the ordinary and proper course of the business of the Group as at present carried on and the Buyer ought reasonably to have been aware that the Claim would not have arisen but for such act, omission or transaction (other than a Claim which arises as a result of an act, omission or transaction which was required to be done or omitted to be done by virtue of this Agreement or any contract or obligation which any member of the Group entered into prior to Completion); |
14
|
|
(iii) |
in respect of any Claim made by the Buyer on account of this clause 5.1(c) in respect of any Tax arising from the action set out in schedule K, item 2, (being, the sale by MediMedia Australia Pty Ltd of its entire equity interest in Health Communication Network Ltd) (the “HCN Transaction”), the Seller shall have no liability of payment towards the Buyer to the extent that the Buyer has not complied with its undertakings set out in clause 9.11 of this Agreement, provided the Seller shall have complied with its undertaking set out under clause 5.1(d) below. In the event of an Authorized Exception, the Buyer will be released from its undertakings under clause 9.11 below and the Seller will hold the Buyer harmless from any Tax liability triggered by the HCN Transaction as such Tax liability shall have been identified in the Buyer’s Tax advisor advice mentioned in clause 9.11 below (the “HCN Tax Liabilities”). In such case, without this being meant to either limit in any way whatsoever the aforementioned release of the Buyer’s undertakings or to create any obligation for the Buyer, the Buyer will review in good faith (with the assistance, as the case may be, of its Tax advisor) the possibility to implement the roll over relief set out in option “D” of the Ernst &Young letter dated 7 April 2004 (a copy of which has been disclosed to the Buyer and is attached to the Disclosure Letter). It is furthermore expressly agreed that both the Buyer’s Tax advisor and the Seller’s Tax advisor will be authorized to consult with each other in order to come up on a best effort basis and in good faith with a solution suitable for both Parties so as to mitigate the adverse consequences of the HCN Transaction. Should the Parties agree to follow the solution thus identified, then the Seller shall be released from its obligations under this clause 5.1(c)(iii). For the avoidance of doubt, should the Buyer decide not to follow the above-mentioned option “D” on the basis of the afore-mentioned written advice issued by the Buyer’s Tax advisor, then the Seller’s obligation to hold the Buyer harmless from any HCN Tax Liabilities triggered by the HCN Transaction shall remain valid. |
|
|
|
