	(b)		To the extent any claim relates to a breach of the Tax Warranties and/or to the covenants under the Tax Deed, the Sellers shall have no liability unless such a claim is notified on or before the date provided for in clause 3.1(a) of the Tax Deed (if any).

33

(c) There shall be no time limit on the Sellers bringing any claim under Clause 9.1(a) in respect of the Fundamental Warranties, nor any claim under Clauses 9.1(b) or 9.2, nor under paragraph 6.1 of Schedule 3.

9.5		Disclosure and Closing Accounts
		The Buyer shall have no claim under Clause 9.1(a) in relation to any fact, matter or circumstance:

	(a)		to the extent that it has been fairly Disclosed in the Disclosure Letter; or
	(b)		save in respect of the Tax Warranties, if and only to the extent, it has been provided (or reserve or allowance made) for in the Accounts or the calculation of Net Debt or Net Working Capital.

9.6 Procedure

	(a)		Save in respect of the Tax Warranties, the Buyer shall promptly give notice to the Sellers on becoming aware of facts that are reasonably likely to give rise to a claim under Clause 9.1(a), 9.2(b), or paragraph 6.1 of Schedule 3, but which shall not constitute a claim for the purposes of clause 9.4(a) or 9.4(b).
	(b)		If any claim, demand, lawsuit, allegation, proceeding or liability asserted by any third party against the Buyer or any member of the Group (a “Third Party Claim”) would result in a claim (other than in respect of the Tax Warranties) by the Buyer against the Sellers under this Agreement, the Buyer shall:

	(i)		ensure that the Sellers’ Representative is kept informed of any actual or proposed material developments (including any meetings), and that the Sellers’ Representative is provided with copies of all material correspondence and documentation, relating to the Third Party Claim or any material action taken or proposed to be taken in respect thereof;
	(ii)		ensure that any reasonable comments provided to the Buyer on a timely basis by the Sellers’ Representative in relation to the Third Party Claim and any material action to be taken in respect thereof are taken into account;
	(iii)		provide the Sellers’ Representative with a draft copy of any material correspondence to be issued in relation to the Third Party Claim (unless any delay caused in so doing would prejudice the ability of the relevant Group member to defend the Third Party Claim) and ensure that any reasonable comments thereon provided to the Buyer by the Sellers’ Representative within 5 Business Days of its receipt of such draft are taken into account; and
	(iv)		use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that the Sellers’ Representative or its duly authorised agent may participate in any material conversations or meetings in respect of the Third Party Claim (whether in person or by telephone).

(c) Without prejudice to Clause 9.7(a), the Buyer shall not in any event be obliged to take or procure the taking of any action in respect of the Third Party Claim:

	(i)		involving any proceedings before a tribunal, court or other judicial body (other than the defence of a Third Party Claim); or
	(ii)		that the Buyer reasonably considers in good faith to be unlawful, misleading or materially prejudicial in any way to the Buyer or a Group; or

34

(iii) that is inconsistent with the Buyer’s reasonable view or opinion on the application of relevant Law or practice in respect of or relating to the Third Party Claim.

(d) The Buyer or the relevant Group Company will be free to satisfy or settle the Third Party Claim on such terms, or otherwise deal with the Third Party Claim as it may think fit acting in good faith, but shall before doing so obtain the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

9.7 Certain General Provisions

	(a)		The Buyer shall procure that reasonable steps and proceedings are taken by the Buyer and each Group Company to mitigate any Loss, but only to the extent the Buyer would have been obliged to do so under English law if the claim was for damages rather than an indemnity.
	(b)		If (whether before or after payment of any claim by the Sellers under Clause 9.1(a)) the Buyer actually recovers any amount from a third party (including any insurer) in respect of that claim or its subject matter, then the amount of the relevant claim shall be reduced € for € by such recovery amount (less all costs incurred by the Buyer or any member of the Group in making such recovery) and if the Sellers have already made payment under such claim, the Buyer shall refund the lower of (i) the amount actually received from such third party and (ii) the amount paid by the Sellers, less in each case all costs incurred by the Buyer or any member of the Group in making such recovery.
	(c)		The remedies provided for in Clause 9.1(a) shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy for any post-Closing claims made by the Buyer for inaccuracies in, or breaches of, the Sellers’ Warranties, or breaches or non-performance of covenants, agreements or obligations of the Sellers, under this Agreement.
	(d)		If the Buyer is entitled to claim under the Tax Deed or under the Sellers’ Warranties in respect of the same liability, the Buyer may claim under either or both but payments under the Tax Deed shall pro tanto satisfy and discharge any claim which is capable of being made under the Sellers’ Warranties in respect of the same liability and vice versa.
	(e)		If the Buyer is entitled to claim under paragraph 6.1 of Schedule 3 or under the Sellers’ Warranties in respect of the same liability, the Buyer may claim under either or both but payments under paragraph 6.1 of Schedule 3 shall pro tanto satisfy and discharge any claim which is capable of being made under the Sellers’ Warranties in respect of the same liability and vice versa.
	(f)		The Parties agree to treat all payments made by the Sellers to the Buyer under Clause 9.1(a), Clause 9.2, paragraph 6.1 of Schedule 3, Schedule 6 and under the Tax Deed as adjustments to the Purchase Price to the extent permitted by Law.

9.8		Buyer Indemnity
		The Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers from and against any Losses of the Sellers based upon or arising from (i) any inaccuracy in, or any breach of, any of the warranties made by the Buyer in this Agreement or (ii) any breach or non-performance of covenants, agreements or obligations made by the Buyer in this Agreement.
9.9		Tax related benefits from a Loss

(a) If any Loss which has resulted in a payment having been made or becoming due from the Sellers to the Buyer under this Agreement gives rise to a Relief (other than an Accounts Relief) for the Buyer or the Company which would not otherwise have arisen, an amount equal to:

35

	(i)		where such Relief is a right to a repayment of Tax, the amount of that Relief; and
	(ii)		in all other cases, the amount of Tax saved by the Buyer or the Company as a result of the use or set off of that Relief,

			shall be set off against any payment then due from the Sellers to the Buyer under this Agreement and the excess, if any, shall be repaid to the Sellers by the Buyer as soon as reasonably practicable, provided that in no circumstances will the Buyer be required to make a payment under this Clause 9.9(a) in excess of the amount paid by the Sellers to the Buyer under this Agreement in respect of the Loss in question.
	(b)		If the Buyer or the Company subsequently determines (acting reasonably) or is subsequently notified by a Public Authority (in either case, on or before the date of the expiry of the applicable statutory limitation period (if any) for a Public Authority to make such a notification in respect of such Relief) that such Relief, or any part of such Relief, is disallowed or did not arise then the Buyer shall provide the Sellers’ Representative with reasonable details of the Relief so disallowed or not arising as soon as reasonably practicable. The Sellers shall within fifteen (15) Business Days of the Sellers’ Representative receiving such details pay to the Buyer an amount equal to:

	(i)		where such Relief is a right to a repayment of Tax, the amount of that Relief so disallowed or not arising; and
	(ii)		in all other cases, the amount of Tax payable by the Buyer or the Company as a result of such Relief being disallowed or not arising,

provided that in no circumstances will the Sellers be required to make a payment under this Clause 9.9(b) in excess of the aggregate amount of the amount set off and the amount repaid in each case as referred to in Clause 9.9(a) in respect of the Relief in question.

10.12		Remedies; Waiver
		Except to the extent this Clause 10.12 is inconsistent with any other provision in this Agreement or applicable Law, all rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available under applicable Law.

		of any Party to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall be deemed a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise preclude any further or other exercise of such or any other right.
10.13		Severability
		If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by any Public Authority, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
10.14		Set off, default interest etc

	(a)		The Buyer shall set-off any amount owing from the Sellers under this Agreement against any amounts payable as part of the Deferred Purchase Price. Any set off pursuant to this Clause shall be deemed, for the purposes of this Agreement, to have been actual payments from the Buyer to the Sellers and vice versa of the amount set off, notwithstanding no cash payments were made. If the Buyer makes or purports to make any such set off, it shall within 60 days of so doing provide to the Sellers’ Representative sufficient details, including copies of all relevant supporting correspondence and documents to enable the Sellers’ Representative to gain a reasonable appreciation of the merits (if any) and the quantum of the Buyer’s claim in respect of which such set off is made. If the Buyer fails to provide such details or the Sellers’ Representative disputes the amount set off, the Sellers (acting jointly through the Sellers’ Representative) may commence arbitration proceedings against the Buyer to recover the amount so set off or purportedly set off and to the extent that the arbitrators shall determine that the relevant claims were not valid or that the amount set off was excessive, the Buyer shall comply with any arbitral award in that respect.
	(b)		The Buyer shall be entitled to withhold from payment of any amount of the Deferred Purchase Price due to the Sellers an amount equal to the Tax payable by the Sellers on such amount due, until the Sellers deliver to the Buyer a receipt from the Tax authorities confirming that such Tax has been paid by the Sellers, following which the Buyer shall pay such withheld amount to the Sellers.
	(c)		Any sum payable by the Sellers under this Agreement shall be made free from any set-off or counterclaim, or any deduction or withholding for or on account of Tax, save as may be required by Law. If any such deductions or withholdings are required by Law to be made from any such payments, the Sellers must provide such evidence of the relevant deduction or withholding as the Buyer may reasonably require and pay to the Buyer such increased amount as will ensure that, after the deduction or withholding has been made, the Buyer will have received a sum equal to the amount that the Buyer would otherwise have received in the absence of such deduction or withholding.
	(d)		If any Public Authority charges to Tax any sum paid to the Buyer under this Agreement (the “original payment”), the Sellers will be obliged to pay to the Buyer such an additional amount (the “additional payment”) as will ensure that, after the payment of the Tax so charged on the original payment and any Tax chargeable on the additional payment, there will remain a net sum equal to the amount of the original payment, the additional payment to be paid three Business Days after the Buyer has served notice on the Sellers that Tax on the original payment has become due and payable, provided that no additional payment shall be due to the extent that the original payment is subject to Tax solely as a result of the assignment of the Agreement in accordance with Clause 10.6.
	(e)		Unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement, if there is a delay in the payment of any amount to be paid under this Agreement, the liability of the obligor Party shall be increased to include an amount equal to interest on such sum from the date when payment is due to the date of actual payment (both before and after any arbitral award) at the Euro base lending rate of HSBC Bank PLC plus 2%. Such interest shall accrue from day to day and be

40

compounded quarterly and shall be payable without prejudice to any other remedy available to the Parties in respect of such default.

10.15 Payment of Claims

(a) Subject to Clause 10.15(b), where the Buyer makes a Claim against the Sellers, then any amount due to the Buyer in satisfaction of that Claim shall be paid (to the extent possible):

	(i)		first as a deduction from the Retention; and
	(ii)		secondly, as a deduction from any Deferred Purchase Price which is then actually due and payable,

			before the Buyer has recourse against any one or more of the Sellers personally, and the Buyer agrees not to take enforcement action against any of the Sellers until such funds referred to in (i) and (ii) above have first been exhausted.
	(b)		Clause 10.15(a) shall not compel the Buyer to deduct from the Retention any Claim payable by the Sellers under Schedule 6, Clause 4.5, Clause 9.2(a), Clause 9.9 or clause 2.1(d) of the Tax Deed.

10.16		Payments to the Sellers
		Any payment due from the Buyer to any or all of the Sellers under this Agreement shall be paid to the account listed in Schedule 4, by wire transfer in same day available funds, and the receipt of any such sum in that account shall be a good and valid discharge by the Buyer of its obligation to make such payment.
10.17		Sellers’ Representative

	(a)		Subject to Clause 10.17(c), each Seller hereby irrevocably appoints the Sellers’ Representative to act as their representative for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement.
	(b)		Each Seller shall be bound by any steps or actions taken or agreement entered into by the Seller Representative acting in accordance with this Agreement.
	(c)		If for any reason the Sellers’ Representative from time to time shall not be able to act as such representative and the Sellers nominate in writing another person to fill the role of Sellers’ Representative hereunder, such other person as shall be so notified in writing to the Buyer by the Sellers, shall be the Sellers’ Representative.
