6. WARRANTIES

6.1 Each of the Sellers (other than the Warrantors) hereby warrants on a several basis to the Buyer that each of the Fundamental Warranties is true and accurate and not misleading at the date of this Agreement, provided that the warranty in respect of paragraphs 1(b), 1(c), 1(d), 2(a), 2(b) and 2(c) of Part 1 of Schedule 5 is provided solely in respect of that Seller and its Seller’s Shares.

6.2 Each of the Warrantors hereby warrants on a several basis to the Buyer that each of the Warranties is true and accurate and not misleading at the date of this Agreement provided that the warranty in respect of paragraphs 1(b), 1(c), 1(d), 2(a), 2(b) and 2(c) of Part 1 of Schedule 5 is provided solely in respect of that Seller and its Seller’s Shares.

6.3 The Warranties are qualified only by (i) those matters contemplated by the Transaction Documents and (ii) the facts and circumstances Fairly Disclosed. For the purposes of this Agreement “Fairly Disclosed” means fairly and accurately disclosed in the Disclosure Letter with sufficient detail to enable a prudent buyer who is reasonably expert in the Business to identify the nature and extent of the matter disclosed.

6.4 The Sellers acknowledge that the Buyer is entering into this Agreement in reliance on each of the Warranties. Save to the extent that the Warranties have been qualified by facts and circumstances Fairly Disclosed, claims may be made by the Buyer under the Warranties whether or not the Buyer knew or could have discovered (whether by any investigation made by it or on its behalf into the affairs of any Group Company or otherwise) prior to signing this Agreement that any of the Warranties have not been complied with or carried out or are otherwise untrue or misleading. The Seller may not invoke the Buyer’s knowledge (actual, constructive or imputed) of a fact or circumstance which might make a Warranty untrue or inaccurate as a defence to a claim for breach of Warranty. The Buyer confirms that it is not currently formulating a claim for breach of Warranty.

6.5 Each of the Warranties shall be construed separately and independently and (except where the Agreement expressly provides otherwise) shall not be limited or restricted by reference to or inference from any provision of this Agreement or another Warranty.

6.6 The Sellers agree with the Buyer that the Sellers shall waive and not enforce any right which the Sellers may have in respect of any misrepresentation, inaccuracy, neglect or omission in or from any information or advice supplied or given by any Group Company or any officer, employee or adviser of or to any Group Company for the purpose of assisting the Sellers to give any of the Warranties or to prepare the Disclosure Letter.

6.7 The Warranties shall not in any respect be extinguished or affected by Completion.

6.8 Without prejudice to the right of the Buyer to claim on any other basis or any other remedies available to it and subject to the provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation Clause 6.8 and Clause 8), the liability of the Warrantors for any breach of the Warranties shall be such amount as will:

(a) put the Buyer into the position it would have been in if such Warranty had not been breached; and

(b) cover all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, damages, claims, demands, proceedings, costs, all reasonable legal and other professional fees and costs, penalties and expenses) incurred by the Buyer or the Group directly as a result of the breach and any payment made in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 6.8 shall, subject to Clause 9.4, include any amount necessary to ensure that, after any Taxation of the payment, the Buyer is left with the same amount it would have had if the payment was not subject to Taxation.

6.9 The sole recourse of the Buyer in respect of any Claim or Claims (other than a claim in respect of the Fundamental Warranties or an Indemnity Claim or a TPC Claim or a claim under the Tax Deed) shall be for a claim for payment out of the Escrow Account.

7. INDEMNITIES

7.1 Subject to Clause 7.1, the Warrantors agree to indemnify and keep indemnified in full and on demand the Buyer from and against any and all costs, expenses, claims, liabilities, damages, demands and losses of every kind whatsoever (including any direct, indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of reputation and all interest, penalties, legal and other professional fees and costs properly incurred and all other costs and expenses), that the Buyer or the Company or any of the Subsidiaries may suffer or incur arising out of, or directly or indirectly in connection with any Financial Debt in existence at Completion, which is not fully reflected in the Opening Accounts, provided that the Warrantors shall have no liability pursuant to this Clause 7.1 in relation to the Agreed Debt-Like Items.

7.2 The sole recourse of the Buyer in respect of any liability pursuant to Clause 7.1 shall be a deduction from any payable Earn-Out Amount pursuant to Schedule 13 and shall be subject to the limitations as set out therein.

8. LIMITATIONS ON THE SELLERS’ LIABILITY

8.1 Subject always to Clause 8.15 below, the liability of the Sellers and/or the Warrantors (as appropriate) for a Warranty Claim shall be limited in accordance with the following provisions of this Clause 8.1 and no Warranty Claim may be brought unless:

(a) the Buyer’s reasonable estimate of the Sellers’ liability for each such claim exceeds US$35,000 (such claim being a “De Minimis Claim” and all such claims shall be “De Minimis Claims”) provided that a De Minimis Claim may include the aggregate of all claims arising out of the same circumstance; and

(b) the aggregate amount of the Buyer’s reasonable estimate of all liabilities of the Sellers under the Claim(s) and claims under the Tax Deed exceeds US$350,000 (the “Threshold”), whereupon the Sellers shall be liable for the entire amount of such liabilities and not merely the excess over the Threshold,

provided however that the limitations in this Clause 8.1 shall not apply to Warranty Claims in respect of the Fundamental Warranties.

8.2 To induce the Buyer to enter into this Agreement, each Seller has contributed such Sellers’ Specified Proportion of the Escrow Amount to the Escrow Account. Subject to Clause 8.3, each Seller acknowledges and agrees that should there be any Claim(s) (other than an Indemnity Claim), the Buyer shall be entitled to claim against the Escrow Account up to an aggregate amount equal to the amount in the Escrow Account to satisfy such Claims, regardless of the identity of Seller(s) against whom any such Claim is being made.

8.3 For the avoidance of doubt, each of the Sellers who are not Warrantors (who have only provided Fundamental Warranties), agrees that, notwithstanding the fact that the Sellers who are not Warrantors have only provided Fundamental Warranties, liability for any Claim shall be a liability of the Sellers (and not solely a liability of the Warrantors) and that each such Sellers’ Specified Proportion of the Escrow Amount shall be available to the Buyer in respect of any Claim(s) (other than an Indemnity Claim), PROVIDED THAT the maximum amount payable by any such Seller in respect of all Claim(s) (other than Claim(s) relating to Fundamental Warranties and Indemnity Claims), shall be limited to an amount equal to such Sellers’ Specified Proportion of the Escrow Amount.

8.4 Save as set out in Clause 8.3 above, the maximum liability of each Seller in respect of all Claim(s) shall be an amount equal to such Seller’s Specified Proportion of the Completion Payment.

8.5 Subject to Clause 8.7, a claim under the Warranties (excluding Fundamental Warranties) shall be barred unless written notice thereof shall have been given to the Sellers’ Representatives before the date 15 months after the Completion Date.

8.6 Subject to Clause 8.7, a claim under the Fundamental Warranties shall be barred unless written notice thereof shall have been given to the Sellers’ Representatives before the sixth anniversary of the Completion Date.

8.7 The liability of the Sellers in respect of each Warranty Claim will terminate absolutely (unless such Warranty Claim has been previously satisfied, Settled or Determined or withdrawn) if legal proceedings in respect of such Warranty Claim have not been commenced within six months of service of notice on the Sellers’ Representatives. Where the liability giving rise to the claim is contingent only at the time of notification, the period of six months shall commence only when the liability becomes actual.

8.8 If following payment by the Sellers to the Buyer in respect of any Claim (other than a Claim under the Tax Deed), the Buyer or any Group Company makes any recovery from or is reimbursed by a third party in respect of the relevant loss, then the Buyer shall repay to the Sellers’ Solicitors the amount of such recovery or reimbursement (net of reasonable costs and expenses incurred in making such recovery or reimbursement). The amount repayable by the Buyer shall in no event exceed the amount paid by the Sellers to the Buyer in respect of such Claim.

8.9 No Warranty Claim shall arise to the extent that the subject matter thereof is expressly and specifically provided, accrued or allowed for in the Accounts or the Opening Accounts.

8.10 The Buyer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to make any claim under insurance policies with respect to any breach of Warranty (for the avoidance of doubt, this Clause 8.10 shall not require any legal action to be initiated by the Buyer with respect to full insurance claims). Any amounts recovered in respect of such claims shall be repaid to the Sellers’ Solicitors provided that the amount repayable by the Buyer shall in no event exceed the amount paid by the Sellers to the Buyer in respect of such breach of Warranty.

8.11 The Buyer shall not be entitled to recover twice under the Warranties or under this Agreement and under the Tax Deed in respect of the same subject matter or to recover more than once in respect of the same subject matter under two or more separate Warranties.

8.12 Any payment by the Sellers to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a reduction of the Consideration payable under this Agreement, including for the purpose of Clause 8.4.

8.13 Nothing in this Clause 7 or in the Warranties shall or shall be deemed to relieve the Buyer of any common law duty to mitigate any loss or damage incurred by it.

8.14 No liability shall arise in respect of any Warranty Claim (excluding any claim under the Tax Warranties) to the extent:

(a) that it arises, or is increased, as a result of a change in the law (including common law) or in any regulation after Completion of any relevant agency or other regulatory body or any decision of any relevant agency or other regulatory body or Governmental Agency occurring with retrospective effect;

(b) it arises or is increased as a consequence of any change in the accounting basis, date, policy or practice adopted by any Group Company after Completion, except where such change was required in order to comply with any legal, regulatory or financial reporting requirement applicable to the relevant Group Company as at Completion;

(c) it arises or is increased as a result of a change in Tax rates, or published practice of any Tax Authority after Completion provided that, in either case, the change was not announced prior to Completion;

(d) it would not have arisen but for a voluntary act or transaction carried out by any Group Company (after Completion) or by the Buyer (at any time), except that for these purposes, a voluntary act or transaction shall not include an act or transaction which was:

(i) carried out pursuant to a legally binding obligation entered into by any Group Company on or before Completion;

(ii) carried out to comply with Applicable Law;

(iii) carried out with the written consent of the Sellers or the Sellers’ Representatives; or

(iv) in the ordinary course of Business of the relevant Group Company as carried on at Completion.

8.15 Subject to Clause 8.18 and Clause 8.19 upon the Buyer becoming aware of any claim, action or demand against it by a third party likely to give rise to any claim in respect of any of the Warranties (a “Third Party Claim”), the Buyer shall:

(a) as soon as practicable notify the Sellers’ Representatives by written notice, provided that failure to do so shall not prevent any claim by the Buyer or extinguish any liability of the Warrantors under the Warranty in question or otherwise;

(b) if requested by the Sellers’ Representatives, keep such party informed of the progress of, and all material developments in relation to the Third Party Claim and provide it/him with copies of all information and correspondence with such third party relating to such claim together with copies of any relevant documents or records within the Buyer’s control relating to the subject matter of the claim;

(c) consult in good faith with the Sellers’ Representative and subject to Clause 8.20 and Clause 8.21 below, implement any reasonable suggestions of the Sellers’ Representatives (to the extent only that such suggestions are joint agreed suggestions of both the Sellers’ Representatives and in writing) in relation to how to avoid, dispute, resist, mitigate or defend the Third Party Claim; and

(d) if requested by the Sellers’ Representatives, not, and shall procure that the Group shall not, make any admission of liability, agreement, settlement or compromise in relation to the Third Party Claim without the approval of a Sellers’ Representative (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

8.16 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no limitation of any kind whatsoever shall apply in respect of any claim made by the Buyer against a Seller if such claim arises from any fraudulent act, fraudulent omission, fraudulent misrepresentation or wilful misrepresentation by such Seller.

8.17 The Buyer will have no recourse to, and will not seek to obtain or to enforce any judgment or order of any court or tribunal or other regulatory authority of Ireland or any other jurisdiction against, the current principal private residence of any Seller being an individual (being such Seller’s dwelling house or part thereof which is occupied by the Seller as his or her only or main residence including the associated gardens) (“PPR”) or any replacement PPR to the extent it is not of greater value than the current PPR, in respect of recovery of any liability which that Seller may have in respect of any Warranty Claim(s).

8.18 On the occurrence of a TPC Claim, the Buyer shall be entitled to claim and set off an amount in accordance with the provisions Schedule 13.

8.19 Notwithstanding Clause 8.15 the Buyer shall not be required to take any action or refrain from taking any action under Clause 8.15(d) in respect of any Third Party Claim which, in the opinion of the Buyer (acting reasonably) would be reasonably likely to be materially prejudicial to the reputation, trading relationships and/or financial position of the Buyer’s Group or of the Group.

8.20 If the fact, matter or circumstance giving rise to a Third Party Claim is capable of remedy the Warrantors shall have no liability in respect of that Third Party Claim if the relevant fact, matter or circumstance is remedied in full to the satisfaction of the Buyer (acting reasonably) within thirty (30) days after the date on which the Sellers’ Representative is given notice of the Third Party Claim.

8.21 If the Buyer considers that the Sellers Representatives are unreasonably withholding, delaying or conditioning their consent to an action, a member of the Group wishes to take (as outlined in Clause 8.15(d)), the matter can be referred for determination of an Irish senior counsel of at least ten years standing appointed by agreement between the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representatives (or if they do not agree, upon the application of either the Buyer or the Sellers’ Representatives to the President for the time being of the Law Society of Ireland). The determination of the Senior Counsel appointed as whether consent has been unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned in relation to Clause 8.15(d) shall be final.
