|
In
the event of any Taxation Claim arising, the Covenantees shall by way of
covenant but not as a condition precedent to the liability of the
Covenantors hereunder:
|
|

|
give
or procure that such notice together with the relevant information will as
soon as reasonably practicable be given to the Covenantors in the manner
provided in Clause 10; and
|
|
(b)
|
at
the written request of the relevant Covenantors, take such action or
procure that such action be taken as such Covenantor may reasonably
request to cause the Taxation or Taxation Claim to be withdrawn, or to

and any determination in respect thereof but subject to it being
indemnified and secured to its reasonable satisfaction by such Covenantor

Taxation), penalties, interests, costs, damages and expenses which may be
thereby incurred.
|
4.2
|

settlement of any Taxation Claim nor agree to any matter in the course of
disputing any Taxation Claim likely to affect the future taxation
liability of any of the Windrace Group
Companies.
|
4.3
|
Without
the prior approval of the relevant Covenantor, a covenantee shall not make
any settlement of any Taxation Claim nor agree to any matter in the course
of disputing any Taxation Claim likely to affect the amount payable by
such Covenantor under this Deed.
|
4.4
|
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the liability of each Covenantor under

Deed.
|

|
PAYMENTS
|
5.1
|
If
after any Covenantor has made any payment pursuant to Clause 2, any of the
Windrace Group Companies shall receive a refund of all or part of the
relevant Taxation, such Windrace Group Company shall repay or procure the
repayment by such other Windrace Group Company, as the case may be, to
such Covenantor a sum corresponding to the amount of such refund
less:-
|
|
(a)
|
any
and all reasonable expenses, costs and charges payable or properly
incurred by the Windrace Group Company in recovering such refund;
and
|
|
(b)
|
the
amount of any additional Taxation which may be suffered by any of the
Windrace Group Companies in consequence of such
refund.
|
5.2
|
Any
payments due by a Covenantor pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Deed shall be increased to include such interest and penalty on unpaid
Taxation as the Windrace Group Companies or any of them shall have been
required to pay pursuant to the applicable
Regulations.
|
88
5.3
|
In
respect of any payments payable by or due from any Covenantor to any of
the Windrace Group Companies under this Deed, any such Covenantor may make
such payment to the Covenantees instead of to such Windrace Group
Companies, and payments so made by the Covenantees shall constitute a good
and absolute release and discharge of such payment obligations of such
Covenantor.
|
5.4
|
All
payments made by or due from any Covenantor under this Deed shall be made
gross, free and clear of any rights of counterclaim or set-off (save with
the agreement of any Covenantor and any Convenantee) and without any
deductions or withholdings of any
nature.
|
5.5
|
No
payment shall be treated as made by any Covenantor under this Deed until
and to the extent that cleared funds are available in respect of it to the
Windrace Group Company.
|
5.6
|
For
the avoidance of doubt, the Covenantors shall remain liable in accordance
with the terms of this Deed notwithstanding that any Taxation giving rise
to a liability to make a payment under Clause 2 of this Deed is or has
been discharged or suffered by the relevant Windrace Group Company,
whether before or after the date hereof and whether by payment or by loss
or utilisation of any relief or right to repayment of
Taxation.
|
6.
