25

injunction, decree, judgement to which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser or any of its properties and assets are bound, the effect of which would materially impair the ability of the Purchaser to perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement or to any other document to be executed by it pursuant to this Agreement.

8.5.2 The Purchaser further acknowledges that it and its advisers have had access to the senior management of the Group and, in this respect, have had the ability to obtain from such senior management information they have deemed relevant in their capacity as professionals experienced in the acquisition of companies, in order to finalise the terms of its offer to acquire the Transferred Securities and enter into this Agreement.

12 Miscellaneous

12.1 Clean Break

The Purchaser shall not, and shall cause the Group Companies not to, claim against any former or current director, manager or member of a supervisory board or a management board (or equivalent under relevant jurisdiction) (a “Director”) of the Group Companies (including those resigning on the Completion Date) with respect to any management decisions adopted by any of the Group Companies prior to the Completion Date, or against any Seller (except for breach of this Agreement as provided herein), or otherwise seek the liability of any such Director or Seller in that respect and, to the extent any such claim is made or liability is sought, shall indemnify and hold any such a Director or Seller harmless against the consequences of any such claim or liability provided however that the above mentioned covenants shall not apply to any criminal offence committed by such a Director or Seller.

All sums payable under this Agreement by one Party to another Party shall be paid free and clear of all deductions, withholdings, set-offs or counterclaims whatsoever save only as may be required by law. If any deductions or withholdings are required by law for or on account of Tax, the payor shall account to the relevant Tax Authority for the amount so required to be deducted or withheld and, any interest payable, the payor shall be obliged to pay to the recipient such additional amount as will ensure that the recipient receives, in total, an amount which (after such deduction or withholding has been made) is no more and no less than it would have been entitled to receive in the absence of any such requirement to make a deduction or withholding. The Purchaser and the Sellers shall cooperate and take reasonable steps to mitigate any withholding or deduction in respect to or on account of Tax in respect of the Purchase Price.
