12.2		Except to the extent that the same is expressly provided for in the Master Services Agreement, each of (i) the Purchaser and (ii) the Seller shall procure that all licenses of any Intellectual Property or rights in Business Information owned by any member of respectively (i) the Retained Group (or to be owned by the Seller or its nominee pursuant to sub-clause 12.1), or (ii) the Group (or to be owned by the Purchaser or its nominee pursuant to this Agreement) granted to any member of the Group or any member of the Retained Group (respectively) terminate at Completion.

13.

Gross Payments

13.1		All sums payable under this Agreement shall be paid free and clear of all deductions and withholdings whatsoever, save only as may be required by law. If any deductions or withholdings are required by law to be made from any such sums (with the exception of deductions and withholdings that are required by law to be made from the consideration for the sale of the Shares to which sub-clause 13.2 shall instead apply) then to the extent that they are not expressed to be paid on an after-Tax basis, the party liable to make the payment shall pay to the recipient such sums as will, after the deduction or withholding is made, leave the recipient with the same amount as it would have been entitled to receive in the absence of any such requirement to make a deduction or withholding.

13.2		If any deductions or withholdings are required by law to be made from the consideration for the sale of the Shares, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller such sums as will, after the deduction or withholding is made, leave the Seller with the same amount as it would have been entitled to receive in the absence of any such requirement to make a deduction or withholding and for such purpose the amount the Seller would have been so entitled to receive shall be the Share Purchase Price as referred to in clause 3 (Consideration).

13.3		The parties agree for the avoidance of doubt that:

(A)

where the Purchaser makes a deduction or withholding from the consideration for the sale of the Shares as paid on Completion, the Purchaser shall not and shall not be

entitled to set off or otherwise deduct, or take into account any amount which it is owed or may claim, claims or has claimed by or from the Seller (including any amount which it may claim, claims or has claimed under sub-clause 2.3 of the Tax Covenant) against its liability to pay an increased amount to the Seller as provided for in sub-clause 13.2; and

(B)

where the Purchaser has made no deduction or withholding from the consideration for the sale of the Shares as paid on Completion and subsequently the Seller pays an amount to the Purchaser under sub-clause 2.3 of the Tax Covenant in respect of a liability for an amount which should have been deducted or withheld from such consideration, the Seller shall not be entitled to claim that the making of such payment under sub-clause 2.3 of the Tax Covenant has reduced the amount it has received so as to result in a further payment being due to it under sub-clause 13.2.
