BG shall not be liable in respect of any Claim to the extent that the amount of such Claim (including all reasonable costs and expense of recovery) is actually recovered by the Purchaser, a member of the Purchaser Group or Comgás under a policy of insurance existing at the date of this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, it shall only be to the extent of the Purchaser Proportion of recovery under a Comgás insurance policy).

11.           Recovery from third party after payment from BG or BG Guarantor. Where either BG or the BG Guarantor has made a payment to the Purchaser in relation to any Claim and the Purchaser or any member of the Purchaser Group is entitled to recover (whether by insurance, payment, discount, credit, relief or otherwise) from a third party a sum which indemnifies or compensates the Purchaser or any member of the Purchaser Group (in whole or in part) in respect of the liability or loss which is the subject of a Claim, the Purchaser shall

The Purchaser shall not be entitled to recover damages or obtain payment, reimbursement, restitution or indemnity in respect of any Claim (a Relevant Claim) to the extent that the Purchaser has already recovered damages or obtained payment, reimbursement, restitution or indemnity pursuant to any other Claim in respect of the same liability, loss, cost, shortfall, damage, deficiency, breach or other set of circumstances giving rise to the Relevant Claim.

-41-

14.           Punitive damages. Neither the Purchaser nor any member of the Purchaser Group shall be entitled to claim for any punitive damages.

15.           BG and BG Guarantor to have opportunity to remedy breaches.
