15.2 Licensor may terminate this Agreement on notice to Licensee if:
15.2.1 there shall be any change in the management or control (and for these purposes, "control" shall have the meaning ascribed to this term in Section 416 Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988) of the Licensee where the changed management and/or new controlling entity is not of at least the same financial standing or repute as the current Licensee and/or where the company taking control is a competitor of Licensor or any of its Associates.
15.2.2 the Programme is not made available on the Service within one (1) month from the start of the Licence Period for whatever reason. For the avoidance of doubt, this shall not affect Licensee's obligation to pay any monies due under this Agreement.
15.3 Upon termination of this Agreement by Licensor pursuant to this clause, any sums previously paid to Licensor shall remain the absolute property of and shall be retained by Licensor and the balance of the Total Contract Value remaining (if any) and any and all other costs, expenses, charges or monies accrued but unpaid shall become immediately due (whether then due or not) and payable to Licensor and this shall be without prejudice to any other rights and remedies of Licensor against Licensee which may have accrued before the date of termination. Upon expiry or termination (for any reason) of this Agreement any and all Rights shall automatically revert to Licensor who may exploit such rights at its sole and absolute discretion.
15.4 Expiry or termination (for any reason) of this Agreement shall not affect the continuing validity of clauses 3, 4, 8.3, 14, 18, 19, 21, 22 and 24.
16. FORCE MAJEURE
16.1 In the event that Licensor is prevented from making timely delivery of the Material and/or other materials for the Programme for reason of Force Majeure, so that Licensee is unable to exploit the Programme, Licensor may in its sole discretion grant Licensee (in respect of that Programme only) the option to either (i) terminate this Agreement, whereupon notwithstanding clause 15.3 Licensor shall either reimburse the Licensee that part of the Total Contract Value paid at that date if the Programme has not been exploited at all or reimburse Licensee a proportion of the Total Contract Value pro-rated to the Number of Transmissions Licensee has already carried out; or (ii) extend the term of this Agreement and/or Licence Period and the date of payment for a period co-extensive with the period during which Licensor is so prevented provided however that in no event shall:
16.1.1 the term of this Agreement and/or Licence Period be extended hereunder with respect to the Programme beyond the term of Licensor's rights of distribution in such Programme; and

16.2 In the event of Force Majeure, Licensee shall have no claim against Licensor for any expenses, costs, damages or otherwise and in no circumstances shall Licensor be liable to Licensee for any indirect or consequential losses whatsoever including loss of profits suffered by Licensee.
17. PROGRAMME WITHDRAWAL
17.1 Licensor shall have the right at any time by giving notice in writing to Licensee to withdraw the Programme from this Agreement in the event that in the opinion of Licensor the Programme is or becomes unavailable for transmission or exhibition due to:
17.1.1 actual, potential or threatened litigation relating to the Programme;
17.1.2 failure of the Programme to be produced; or

restrictions imposed on Licensor by or as a result of claims made by any underlying rights-holders and/or participants in the Programme.
17.2 In the event of any such withdrawal as provided in this clause Licensor shall give Licensee as much advance notice as is reasonably practicable. If possible Licensor and Licensee shall endeavour to agree cuts or edits to the Programme which will eliminate the reasons for withdrawal. If such cuts and/or edits are not possible and Licensor withdraws the Programme in full Licensee shall: (i) immediately withdraw the Programme from any scheduled performance (or Catch-Up Service and/or the Service); and
(ii) have the option of either accepting a substitute programme (if available) in place of the Programme and/or accepting a refund of a proportion of the Total Contract Value calculated by reference to the Number of Transmissions that remain unexploited at such time.
17.3 Licensee agrees to use all reasonable endeavours to accept a substitute programme if available or to agree cuts or edits to the Programme which will eliminate the reasons for withdrawal and shall inform Licensor of its decision within twenty eight (28) days of written notice of withdrawal, failing which Licensee shall be deemed to have waived its right to be repaid any refund of the Total Contract Value pursuant to clause 17.2.
17.4 No other sums or compensation however arising, other than that referred to in sub-clause 17.2 above, shall be payable by Licensor in respect of any withdrawn Programme and Licensee hereby waives any claims against Licensor that may arise from such withdrawal.

19.1.1 to immediately give Licensor written notice fully stating the details of any such Claim (and in any event within two (2) days of Licensee becoming aware of the Claim);
19.1.2 discuss and agree in good faith with Licensor (Licensor's decision being final if the parties cannot agree) who should control the conduct of any Claim;
19.1.3 if the parties agree that Licensor should take action in relation to the Claim, to allow Licensor to use its chosen advisors and to have the exclusive conduct of the Claim (including the recovery of costs); to promptly provide Licensor and its advisors reasonable access to premises and personnel and to all relevant assets, accounts, documents and records that it possesses or controls for the purposes of the claim and promptly take any action and give any assistance and information as Licensor may reasonably request in relation to the Claim;

Nothing in this Agreement shall limit either party's
liability for death or personal injury resulting from its negligence or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
20. NOTICES
20.1 Any notice or other communication required to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly served to either party if:
20.1.1 delivered by courier or sent by registered post addressed to Licensor at its registered office or its last known place of business, or if to Licensee to the address set out in the Schedule, in which case notice will be deemed received within two (2) days of posting (exclusive of the hours of Saturday Sunday and public or Bank holidays) if the other party's address is within the United Kingdom or seven (7) days of posting outside the United Kingdom;
20.1.2 sent by facsimile, in which case notice will be deemed received on the expiration of four (4) hours from the time of transmission or if sent outside business hours at the commencement of the next business day subject in any case to proof by the sender of an acknowledgment (whether in mechanical form or otherwise) confirming receipt at its destination; or
20.1.3 delivered or served personally, in which case notice will be deemed received with immediate effect when outside normal business hours.
21. CONFIDENTIALITY
Each party undertakes that it will not at any time hereafter use, divulge or communicate to any person, except to its professional representatives or advisers or as may be required by law or any legal or regulatory authority any Confidential Information, and each of the parties shall use its reasonable endeavours to prevent the publication or disclosure of any Confidential Information. Neither party shall use any Confidential Information except for the performance of this Agreement.
22. TAXES
22.1 All payments due from Licensee under this Agreement are stated exclusive of Sales Tax for which Licensor must account and Licensee shall pay to Licensor at the same time an amount equal to the Sales Tax (if any) properly chargeable on such payment. Licensor shall provide Licensee with a Sales Tax invoice in respect of the payment. References in this clause to "payments" include non-cash consideration.
22.2 All sums payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid free and clear of all deductions or withholding of any kind, save only as may be required by any applicable law. If in the Territory (or in any country in the Territory if more than one) a deduction or withholding in respect of tax is required by any present or future law, rule or regulation or by any national or local tax authority from any sum payable under this Agreement by Licensee to Licensor (the “Relevant Income”), Licensee may make such deduction or withholding from such Relevant Income in the correct amount provided that:
22.2.1 Licensee undertakes to use all reasonable commercial endeavours to minimise the amount in respect of tax required to be deducted or withheld from the Relevant Income and shall use all available credits and rebates (if any) to procure the same and shall promptly apply, or assist Licensor to apply, for any permission to apply a reduced or a zero rate of withholding tax from the Relevant Income;
22.2.2 Licensee shall promptly pay to the relevant tax authority the amount of such withholding or deduction and, contemporaneously with the payment of any sum payable under this Agreement, Licensee shall provide to Licensor written evidence (including all withholding tax receipts or other government certifications) of any amounts withheld or deducted in respect of tax from the Relevant Income due under this Agreement;
22.2.3 Licensee shall provide Licensor with any information or documentation reasonably requested by Licensor from time to time, which may enable Licensor to adequately support any foreign tax credit claim which is attributable to any deductions or withholdings in respect of tax made by Licensee from Relevant Income;
22.2.4 in addition to any and all legal and equitable rights and remedies available to Licensor, Licensee shall indemnify Licensor for any disallowed foreign tax credits, including any interest and penalties associated with such disallowed foreign tax credits, attributable to Licensee's failure to provide in a proper and/or timely manner the documentation required hereunder or otherwise comply with the provisions of this clause;
22.2.5 where Licensee makes any withholding or deduction in respect of tax from the Relevant Income, Licensee agrees that the Programme constitutes an “artistic work” as such term is used in the relevant double tax treaties relating to income; and
22.2.6 Licensee's obligations under the provisions of this clause shall survive termination, cancellation or expiration of this Agreement.
23. GENERAL
23.1 Neither party shall be entitled to assign, sub-license, charge or otherwise dispose of the benefit of this Agreement, in whole or in part to any third party, either voluntarily or by operation of law without the prior written consent of the other party and no assignment shall relieve the assigning party of its obligations hereunder save that Licensor may assign this Agreement or any interest therein to any person, firm, company or corporation partly or wholly owned by or affiliated with it and/or to any person or undertaking which hereafter acquires control of some or all of its assets, undertakings and obligations.
23.2 The simultaneous relay of any broadcast of the Programme or any part or parts thereof within the Territory which is under the authority of international agreement or for which a system for making copyright payments to copyright holders exists through an international collection agency (such as AGICOA) shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement by Licensor and Licensor retains the exclusive right to collect, administer and retain revenue from overseas collecting societies.
23.3 Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Licensor has the right to license the Programme for transmission (which term shall for the purposes of this clause be deemed to include making the Programme available by means of the Catch Up Service and/or the Service but without prejudice to clauses 13 and 19) by any party whose transmissions are receivable in the Territory where such transmissions are peripherally and incidentally or inadvertently receivable and not intended for reception in the Territory. Similarly, Licensor acknowledges that, whilst not intended for reception outside the Territory, Licensee's transmissions of the Programme may be peripherally and incidentally or inadvertently receivable outside the Territory. The occurrence of such overspill shall therefore not in itself constitute a breach of this Agreement.
23.4 Any waiver by Licensor, whether express or implied, of any breach or default by Licensee of any of the terms of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of any other breach or default or of the same breach or default continuing or occurring thereafter, and any waiver shall be without prejudice to all rights and remedies available to Licensor in respect of each additional or continuing breach or default.
23.5 In no event will any delay, failure or omission (in whole or in part) in enforcing, exercising or pursuing any right, power, privilege, claim or remedy conferred by or arising under this Agreement or by law, be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of that or any other right, power, privilege, claim or remedy in respect of the circumstances in question, or operate so as to bar the enforcement of that, or any other right, power, privilege, claim or remedy, in any other instance at any time or times subsequently.
23.6 If any of the provisions of this Agreement and any riders or amendments thereto shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement and any riders or amendments thereto shall continue in force and not be affected and the parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend any such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
23.7 It is hereby acknowledged that this Agreement contains the sole terms and constitutes the entire agreement existing between the parties and that it supersedes all prior
agreements, understandings or arrangements made between the parties with respect to the Rights in the Programme. It is further acknowledged that any amendment, modification, discharge, waiver or variation of this agreement shall only be binding if made in writing and signed by or on behalf of both Licensor and Licensee. It is agreed that: (i) no party has entered into this Agreement on any representation, warranty, or undertaking of any other party which is not expressly set out or referred to in this Agreement, and (ii) this clause shall not exclude any liability for, or remedy in respect of fraudulent misrepresentation.
23.8 This Agreement is made between principals and nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall operate to create a partnership or joint venture between Licensor and Licensee in respect of the Programme or otherwise, and neither party shall have authority to act in the name or on behalf of or otherwise to bind the other in any way or to hold itself out in any manner which would indicate or imply any such relationship with the other.
23.9 Except insofar as this Agreement expressly provides that a third party may in his own right enforce a term of this Agreement, a person who is not a party to this Agreement has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to rely upon or enforce any term of this Agreement but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists or is available apart from under that Act.
24. APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION
24.1 The validity, construction and performance of this Agreement (and any claim, dispute or matter arising under or in connection with it or its enforceability) and any non- contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England.
24.2 The parties to this Agreement irrevocably agree for the exclusive benefit of Licensor that the courts of England shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any claim, dispute or matter arising under or in connection with this Agreement or its enforceability or the legal relationships established by this Agreement (including non-contractual disputes or claims) and that accordingly any proceedings in respect of any such claim, dispute or matter may be brought in such courts. Nothing in this clause shall limit the right of Licensor to take proceedings against Licensee in any other court of competent jurisdiction, nor shall the taking of proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdiction or jurisdictions, whether concurrently or not, to the extent permitted by the law of such other jurisdiction or jurisdictions.
