1.14 | Contracts in Process assets in the Final Closing Statement shall only be adjusted if and to the extent that since the preparation of the Reference Balance Sheet (and prior to the delivery of the Draft Closing Statement pursuant to paragraph 1.2 above) new facts or circumstances have arisen which, in accordance with paragraph 1.1.2 above, justify such adjustment. The Purchaser shall ensure that management judgment estimates in respect of Contracts in Process assets in the Reference Balance Sheet are not adjusted in the Final Closing Statement in the absence of such new facts or circumstances. |
1.15 | The Final Closing Statement shall be prepared so as to include no provision with respect to any matter which is the subject of an indemnity in favour of the Purchaser or any member of the Group under the terms of this Agreement. |
1.16 | A liability will be included in the Final Closing Statement for any Seller's transaction costs (including transaction bonuses) to the extent unpaid at the Effective Time and payable by the Group after the Effective Time. |

2 | Preparation |
2.1 | No later than 45 days following Closing, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller the Draft Closing Statement. |
2.2 | Each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall co-operate with the other with regard to the preparation, review, agreement or determination of the Draft Closing Statement and shall, subject to reasonable notice, make available during normal office hours to the other party and its representatives and accountants all books and records, together with the services of any employees of the Group, as the other party may reasonably require. |
2.3 | If the Seller does not within 45 days of presentation to it of the Draft Closing Statement give notice to the Purchaser that it disagrees with the Draft Closing Statement or any item thereof, such notice stating the reasons for the disagreement in reasonable detail and specifying the adjustments which, in the Seller’s opinion, should be made to the Draft Closing Statement (the “Seller’s Disagreement Notice”), the Draft Closing Statement shall be final and binding on the parties for all purposes. If the Seller gives a Seller’s Disagreement Notice within such 30 days, the Purchaser and the Seller shall attempt in good faith to reach agreement in respect of the Draft Closing Statement and, if they are unable to do so within 21 days of such notification, the Purchaser or the Seller may by notice to the other require that the Draft Closing Statement be referred to the Reporting Accountants. |
2.4 | The Reporting Accountants shall be engaged jointly by the Purchaser and the Seller on the terms set out in this paragraph 2 and otherwise on such terms as shall be agreed; provided that neither the Purchaser nor the Seller shall unreasonably (having regard, inter alia, to the provisions of this paragraph 2) refuse its agreement to terms proposed by the Reporting Accountants or by the other party. If the terms of engagement of the Reporting Accountants have not been settled within 15 days of their identity having been determined (or such longer period as the Purchaser and the Seller may agree) then, unless the Purchaser or the Seller is unreasonably refusing its agreement to those terms, those accountants shall be deemed never to have become the Reporting Accountants and new Reporting Accountants shall be selected in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any work undertaken by the Reporting Accountants in relation to the unaudited Draft Closing Statement prepared by the Purchaser shall be undertaken in accordance with paragraph 2.5 below and shall not be conducted to audit standard. |
2.5 | Except to the extent that the Purchaser and the Seller agree otherwise, the Reporting Accountants shall determine their own procedure but: |
2.5.1 | apart from procedural matters and as otherwise set out in this Agreement shall determine only: |
(i) | whether any of the arguments for an alteration to the Draft Closing Statement put forward in the Seller’s Disagreement Notice is correct in whole or in part; and |
(ii) | if so, what alterations should be made to the Draft Closing Statement in order to correct the relevant inaccuracy in it; |
2.5.2 | shall apply the accounting principles, policies, procedures, practices and estimation techniques set out in paragraph 1 above; |
79 |
2.5.3 | shall make their determination pursuant to paragraph 2.5.1 above as soon as is reasonably practicable and in any event, within 20 days; and |
2.5.4 | the procedure of the Reporting Accountants shall: |
(i) | give the Purchaser and the Seller a reasonable opportunity to make written representations to them; |
(ii) | require that the Seller and the Purchaser supply the other with a copy of any written representations at the same time as they are made to the Reporting Accountants; and |
(iii) | permit the Seller and the Purchaser to be present while oral submissions are being made by the other party, |
for the avoidance of doubt, the Reporting Accountants shall not be entitled to determine the scope of their own jurisdiction.
2.6 | The determination of the Reporting Accountants pursuant to paragraph 2.5.1 above: |
2.6.1 | shall be made available to the Purchaser and the Seller in writing; and |
2.6.2 | unless otherwise agreed by the Purchaser and the Seller shall include reasons for each relevant determination. |
2.7 | The Reporting Accountants shall act as experts and not as arbitrators and their determination of any matter falling within their jurisdiction shall be final and binding on the Seller and the Purchaser save in the event of manifest error (when the relevant part of their determination shall be void and the matter shall be remitted to the Reporting Accountants for correction). In particular, their determination shall be deemed to be incorporated into the Draft Closing Statement. |
2.8 | The expenses (including VAT) of the Reporting Accountants shall be borne as they shall direct at the time they make any determination under paragraph 2.5.1(i) above or, failing such direction, equally between the Purchaser and the Seller. |
2.9 | The Seller and Purchaser shall co-operate with the Reporting Accountants and comply with their reasonable requests made in connection with the carrying out of their duties under this Agreement. In particular the Purchaser shall keep up-to-date and, subject to reasonable notice, make available to the Seller’s representatives, the Seller’s accountants and the Reporting Accountants all books and records relating to the Group and access to all relevant systems relating to the Group (as the case may be) during normal office hours as the Reporting Accountants may reasonably request during the period from the appointment of the Reporting Accountants down to the making of the relevant determination. |
2.10 | Nothing in this Schedule shall entitle a party or the Reporting Accountants access to any information or document which is protected by legal professional or litigation privilege, provided that neither the Seller nor the Purchaser shall be entitled to refuse to supply such part or parts of documents as contain only the facts on which the relevant claim or argument is based. |
2.11 | The Seller and the Purchaser and the Reporting Accountants shall, and shall procure that its accountants and other advisers shall, keep all information and documents provided to them pursuant to this Schedule confidential and shall not use the same for any purpose, except for disclosure or use in connection with the preparation of the Draft Closing |
80 |

12.1 | Recovery for Actual Liabilities |
The Seller shall not be liable to pay an amount in discharge of any Specific Claim (other than a Tax Claim) unless and until the liability for which such claim is made has become due and payable.
12.2 | Prior to Recovery from the Seller etc. |
If, before the Seller pays an amount in discharge of any Specific Claim (other than a Tax Claim), neither the Purchaser nor any Group Company recovers or is entitled to recover (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief, insurance or otherwise) from a third party a sum which indemnifies or compensates the Purchaser or Group Company (in whole or in part) for the loss or liability which is the subject matter of such claim, the Purchaser shall procure that, before steps are taken to enforce such claim against the Seller following notification under Clause 12.2 or Schedule 6, all reasonable steps are taken to enforce the recovery against the third party and any actual recovery (less any reasonable costs incurred in obtaining such recovery) shall reduce or satisfy, as the case may be, such claim to the extent of such recovery.
12.3 | Following Recovery from the Seller etc. |
If the Seller has paid an amount in discharge of any Specific Claim (other than a Tax Claim), and subsequently the Purchaser or any Group Company is entitled to recover (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief, insurance or otherwise) from a third party a sum which indemnifies or compensates the Purchaser or Group Company (in whole or in part) for the loss or liability which is the subject matter of such claim, the Seller shall be subrogated to all rights that the Purchaser has or would otherwise have in respect of the claim against the third party or, if subrogation is not possible, the Purchaser shall procure that all reasonable steps are taken as the Seller may reasonably require to enforce such recovery and shall, or shall procure that the relevant Group Company shall, pay to the Seller as soon as practicable after receipt an amount equal to any sum recovered from the third party less any costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery less any Taxation attributable to the recovery after taking account of any Tax relief available in respect of any matter giving rise to the claim. Any payment made by the Purchaser to the Seller under this Clause shall be made or procured by way of further adjustment of the consideration paid by the Purchaser for the Shares and the provisions of Clause 3.3 shall apply mutatis mutandis.
13 | No Double Recovery and no Double Counting |
No party may recover for breach of or under this Agreement or the Tax Indemnity or otherwise more than once in respect of the same Losses suffered or amount for which the party is otherwise entitled to claim (or part of such Losses or amount), and no amount (including any Relief) (or part of any amount) shall be taken into account, set off or credited more than once for breach of or under this Agreement or the Tax Indemnity or otherwise, with the intent that there will be no double counting for breach of or under this Agreement or the Tax Indemnity or otherwise.
150 |
14 | Fraud and Wilful Misconduct |
None of the limitations contained in this Schedule 7 shall apply to any claim under, or for breach of, this Agreement or the Tax Indemnity against the Seller or Guarantor to the extent it arises or is increased as a result of fraud or wilful misconduct by the Seller or Guarantor.
15 | Seller’s Right to Remedy Breaches |
If a breach of this Agreement is capable of remedy, the Purchaser shall only be entitled to bring a Specific Claim or Tax Claim in respect of such breach if it gives the Seller written notice of the breach and the breach is not remedied within 60 days of the date on which such notice is served on the Seller.

1 | Bubbling Fluidized Bed Boiler: |
A steam generator utilizing the principles of fluidized bed combustion with gas velocities between 0.5 and 3.5 meters/second in the upper section of the furnace. The gas velocity causes the hot bed particles (solids) which can consist of fuel, fuel ash, and sand to churn and mix within the furnace to evenly burn the fuel and transfer heat to the walls and other heat absorbing surfaces within the furnace. The gas velocity is low enough so that most of the bed particles remain within the furnace. The low solids combustion gas then typically passes through a convection Heat Recovery Area (HRA).
2 | Circulating Fluidized Bed Boiler: |
A steam generator utilizing the principles of fluidized bed combustion with gas velocities between 2 - 10 meters/second in the upper section of the combustion furnace. The gas velocity causes the hot bed particles (solids) which can consist of fuel, fuel ash, limestone, and sand to churn and mix within the furnace to evenly burn the fuel, capture sulfur oxides and transfer heat to the walls and other heat absorbing surfaces within the furnace. The gas velocity is high enough to cause the particles to escape from the top of the furnace, which are then captured by solid separators (such as cyclones) and continually returned to the bottom of the furnace. Circulating Fluidized Bed Boilers may include heat absorbing surfaces to capture heat from the particles along their return path to the furnace. Large units (over 300 MWe) can employ once through steam heating circuitry with steam conditions above the critical point of water (221 bar, 374°C) to improve power plant efficiency. The low solids combustion gas then typically passes through a convection Heat Recovery Area (HRA).
3 | Circulating Fluidized Bed Scrubber: |
A multi-pollutant flue gas cleaning system utilizing the principles of fluidized bed reactor chemistry with gas velocities between 2 - 10 meters/second in the upper section of an absorber charged with sodium bicarbonate, powder activated carbon and/or other reagents to churn and mix with flue gas from boilers and industrial processes to capture
176 |
vapour phase acid gases including SO2, SO3, HCl and HF, and other such gases, and also capture heavy metals including Hg, Cd, Pb and Br and other such metals, and also capture dioxins and furans. To improve the chemical and surface absorption reactions, spray nozzles inject water into the absorber to cool and humidify the flue gas and reacting particles. The absorber gas velocity is high enough to cause the particles to escape from the top of the absorber, which are then captured by a particulate collection device (such as a fabric filter or electrostatic precipitator) and recirculated back to the absorber vessel to continue absorbing acid gases and metals. A fabric filter may be used to provide final cleaning as the flue gas passes through the absorbing dust layer on the fabric filter bags.
4 | Waste Heat Boiler for Non-Ferrous Metallurgical Industries: |
Metallurgical Waste Heat Boilers (“WHB“) are steam generators designed to recover heat from hot process flue gases produced by non-ferrous pyro-metallurgical furnaces, or similar processes. These gases contain hot sticky corrosive ash and corrosive vapour phase elements such as chlorine and alkali metals. These WHBs utilize robust materials, such as austenitic alloys, weld overlays, and composite tubes often coupled with robust cleaning techniques such as spring hammer rapping and sonic cleaning to reliably produce steam for a multitude of purposes including fuel dying, process steam, heating and power production.
5 | Biomass Gasifier: |
A gasifier utilizing a fluidized bed gasification process at atmospheric and higher pressure levels with gas velocities between 0.5 - 10 meters/second in the upper section of the gasifier vessel. The gas velocity causes the hot bed particles, which can consist of high volatile fuels such as woody biomass in combination with agricultural waste or byproducts, plastic, paper and refuse derived fuels to churn and mix within the gasifier reactor under sub-stoichiometric conditions to produce a hot synthetic gas with low to medium heating value (1000-3000 kcal/Nm3). The gasifier can be designed for either a bubbling bed or circulating bed process with the gas velocity set low enough to retain most of the bed particles within the gasifier vessel or high enough to cause the particles to escape from the top of the gasifier, which are then captured by solid separators (such as cyclones) and continually returned to the bottom of the gasifier. The gasifier can use air, oxygen enriched air, oxygen-steam mixture, steam or carbon dioxide as the fluidizing medium to control the syngas composition and heating value.
