29.7 The Purchaser shall have no claim whatsoever against the Sellers in respect of any breach of any Sellers' Warranties or representations contained in this Agreement and Annexure B hereto and to the extent that -

29.7.1 such damages or loss comprises of loss of profit or any other indirect, special or consequential loss;

29.7.2 such breach or claim is based on any expression or statement of intention, opinion, belief or expectation that is forward looking or based on a future event;


29.7.3 such breach or claim occurs as a result of any legislation not in force at the Signature Date which takes effect retrospectively;

29.7.4 such breach or claim would not have arisen but for any voluntary act or omission on the part of the Purchaser or any person connected with it otherwise than in the ordinary course of business; or

29.7.5 such breach or claim arises as a result only of any changes after the Closing Date in the accounting bases, policies or methods used by the Adumo Group to value any of its assets or to provide for any of its liabilities.

30 WARRANTY AND INDEMNITY INSURANCE

30.1 The Purchaser has obtained or will obtain, in terms of the Insurance Policy, warranty and indemnity insurance in respect of any Purchaser Warranty and Indemnity Claims and the Parties will share the total cost of insurance under such Policy on the basis that the Purchaser on the one hand and Adumo on the other hand will bear an equal share of such costs, subject to an aggregate maximum amount in respect of Adumo's contribution of R1,897,950.

30.2 The Purchaser therefore agrees and acknowledges that, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement (but subject to the remaining provisions of this clause 30), neither the Purchaser nor Adumo shall have any claim against any of the Sellers in respect of any Purchaser Warranty and Indemnity Claims, it being agreed and understood that the recourse of the Purchaser or Adumo in respect of any Purchaser Warranty and Indemnity Claim will be solely against the third party underwriter(s) in terms of the Insurance Policy provided only that if the loss suffered by the Purchaser in respect of a Purchaser Warranty and Indemnity Claim in relation to a Sellers' Title Warranty and/or a Sellers' Capacity and Authority Warranty is greater than the amount that the Purchaser is entitled or able to recover in respect of such loss in terms of the Insurance Policy ("Policy Limit"), the Purchaser shall be entitled to institute a claim to recover the shortfall ("Shortfall") from the Sellers (as applicable), provided that:

30.2.1 the Purchaser will be obliged to pursue a claim under the Insurance Policy for any Purchaser Warranty and Indemnity Claim in relation to any of the Sellers' Title Warranties and/or Sellers' Capacity and Authority Warranties.  Where the Purchaser Warranty and Indemnity Claim  in relation to a Sellers' Title Warranty and/or a Sellers' Capacity and Authority Warranty exceeds the Policy Limit, the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, shall also be entitled to institute a Purchaser Warranty and Indemnity Claim against the relevant Sellers for the Shortfall simultaneously with pursuing a claim under the Insurance Policy (and shall not be required to wait until its claim under the Insurance Policy is finally determined before instituting such Purchaser Warranty and Indemnity Claim against the Sellers).  However, any damages claimable by the Purchaser from the Sellers in respect of such Purchaser Warranty and Indemnity Claim in relation to a Sellers' Title Warranty and/or a Sellers' Capacity and Authority Warranty shall be reduced by any amount recovered by the Purchaser in respect of such breach under the Insurance Policy and, accordingly, the final determination of any such Purchaser Warranty and Indemnity Claim in relation to a Sellers' Title Warranty and/or a Sellers' Capacity and Authority Warranty against the Sellers will be subject to the final determination of the Purchaser's claim under the Insurance Policy;


30.2.2 each Seller's liability to the Purchaser under this Agreement shall be (i) several in respect of a breach of any of the Sellers' Title Warranties and/or Sellers' Capacity and Authority Warranties, on the basis that each Seller will only be liable for its own breach of such Sellers' Warranties, and no Seller shall be liable to the Purchaser for any loss suffered by the Purchaser as a result of a breach of any of the Sellers' Title Warranties and/or Sellers' Capacity and Authority Warranties by the other Seller and (ii) limited to the amount paid to the relevant Seller (whether by way of Cash Consideration or the issue of Consideration Shares in terms of this Agreement).

30.3 The Purchaser will be obliged to submit a claim under the Insurance Policy for any Purchaser Warranty and Indemnity Claim in relation to any of the Seller's Title Warranties or Sellers' Capacity and Authority Warranties, provided that a repudiation of such claim under the Insurance Policy (for any reason whatsoever) shall not in any manner be construed so as to limit the Purchaser's ability under this Agreement or in law to recover to the fullest extent possible (but, for the avoidance of doubt, subject to the limitations in this Agreement) any damages from the Sellers arising out of or attributable to a Purchaser Warranty and Indemnity Claim in relation to any of the Sellers' Title Warranties or Sellers' Capacity and Authority Warranties, provided that the Purchaser has in fact submitted a claim under the Insurance Policy.


30.4 The exclusions contained in clause 30.2 shall, however, be without limitation to the rights which the Purchaser may have as a matter of common law against any Seller to the extent that it has suffered a loss as a result of the fraud or fraudulent non-disclosure by that Seller (which, for the avoidance of doubt includes any director or the company secretary of that Seller), in which case the Purchaser shall only be entitled to make a claim against that Seller and not against any other Seller who was not party to such fraud and/or fraudulent non-disclosure.

31 INDEMNITIES BY THE SELLERS

Without prejudice to any rights of the Purchaser arising from any other provision of this Agreement, but subject to the provisions of clauses 28.3, 29 and 30, and to the extent that such liability is not fully provided for or reflected as a liability in the Adumo Warranted Accounts, the Sellers hereby agree, in the Sellers' Proportions, to indemnify and hold the Purchaser and Adumo, respectively, harmless from, all claims, liability, damage, loss, penalty, expense and cost (including legal costs on an attorney and own client scale) of any nature whatsoever which the Purchaser and/or Adumo may suffer (whether directly or indirectly) resulting from, arising out of, or relating to: (i) a failure of any of the Sellers' Warranties contained in this Agreement to be true and correct; and (ii) any liability for tax of an Adumo Group Company not fully provided for in the Adumo Warranted Accounts for all periods prior to the Signature Date, save to the extent Fairly Disclosed to the Purchaser's Deal Team Members prior to the Signature Date and save for liabilities for tax incurred in the ordinary, normal and regular course of business.

32 NO DUPLICATION OF RECOVERY BY THE PURCHASER

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, where a single fact or circumstance gives rise to multiple causes of action entitling the Purchaser to assert a combination of claims against the Sellers arising out of a combination of Sellers' Warranties or Indemnities, the Purchaser shall be limited to recovering the aggregate sum of its actual damages or losses arising in connection with such single fact or circumstance, the intention of the Parties being that, while the Purchaser may assert such combination of claims, the Purchaser may not duplicate the recovery of its damages or losses.  The Purchaser shall always be entitled, in its discretion, to determine whether to proceed in respect of a breach of a Sellers' Warranty or a claim under an Indemnity.

34.6.4 such breach or claim would not have arisen but for any voluntary act or omission on the part of Sellers or any person connected with it otherwise than in the ordinary course of business; or

34.7.3 any amount by which the subject matter of the claim has been or is made good or otherwise compensated for without cost to the Sellers.
