9.  
BEI Contracts and Third Party Consents
 
9.1  
Subject to the terms of this Agreement (including the remaining provisions of this Clause 9), the Seller hereby assigns to the Purchaser with effect from the Effective Date the benefit of each of the BEI Contracts which are capable of assignment without the need for any third party consent.
 
3

 
9.2  
To the extent that any of the BEI Contracts are not assignable without the consent of another party or without an agreement of novation, this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or an attempted assignment if such action would constitute a breach of the relevant BEI Contract. In the event that such consent to assignment or novation is required, the Seller and the Purchaser shall (at the Purchaser’s request) use all reasonable endeavours to obtain the consent or novation required as soon as reasonably practicable and upon any such consent being obtained, the relevant BEI Contract shall hereby be assigned to the Purchaser.
 
9.3  
Unless and until any such required consent to assignment or novation is forthcoming in respect of any BEI Contract and the relevant BEI Contract has otherwise been assigned or novated, the Seller shall remain liable under such BEI Contract as a contracting party (and will enforce at the Purchaser’s reasonable request any and all rights of the Seller against the other party to the Contract).
 
9.4  
If any required consent to assignment or novation is not obtained in respect of any BEI Contract, the Seller shall co-operate with the Purchaser in any reasonable arrangements designed to provide for the Purchaser all the benefits under any such BEI Contract, including enforcement of any and all rights of the Seller against the other party to the relevant BEI Contract arising out of the cancellation by such other party or otherwise.
 
9.5  
If any required consent to assignment or novation is not obtained or completed (as appropriate) in respect of any BEI Contract within 3 months of Completion then the Purchaser may at any time elect to terminate any interest it may have in the relevant BEI Contract pursuant to this Agreement by serving written notice on the Seller in which case the obligations of the Purchaser in respect of that BEI Contract pursuant to this Clause 9 shall terminate immediately.
 
10.  
Warranties
 
10.1  
The Seller warrants and represents and undertakes to the Purchaser for itself and its successors in title that each of the Warranties is true, accurate and complete in all respects and not misleading at the date of this Agreement.
 
10.2  
The Seller acknowledges that the Purchaser has entered into this Agreement in reliance upon the Warranties. Save as expressly otherwise provided, each of the Warranties shall be construed as a separate and independent warranty and, subject to the provisions of Clause 10.3, shall not be limited by reference to any other Warranty or by anything in this Agreement.
 
10.3  
Subject to Clause 10.8, the Warranties shall be qualified by matters Disclosed in the Disclosure Letter but shall otherwise be subject to no qualification whatsoever.
 
10.4  
The Seller shall not be liable for any Non-Tax Claim or any Tax Claim unless the Seller receives from the Purchaser written notice of the Non-Tax Claim or Tax Claim:
 
(a)  
on or before the first anniversary of the Completion Date in the event of a Non-Tax Claim; or
 
(b)  
on or before the seventh anniversary of the Completion Date in the event of a Tax Claim.
 
10.5  
Without restricting the rights of the Purchaser, or its ability to claim damages on any basis, the amount of any Claim may be determined as, and be deemed to be, and the Seller shall at all times indemnify and keep fully and effectively indemnified on demand the Purchaser against:
 
4

 
(a)  
any and all loss (including diminution of the value of assets), damage or liabilities (including Taxes) and all costs, charges, interest, fines, penalties and expenses incurred or incidental or relating to the same (including all costs and expenses of investigations and legal fees and expenses) whether or not reasonable, foreseeable, contemplated or avoidable and suffered directly or indirectly and/or the amount of any depletion or diminution in the value of any assets of either of the Companies in each case suffered or incurred by the Purchaser, directly or indirectly as a result of, in connection with or in relation to the subject matter of such Claim;
 
(b)  
the amount by which any assets or liabilities of the Companies are respectively less or more than they would have been had the relevant statement in Schedule 3 been true, accurate, complete and not misleading;
 
(c)  
the amount of any decrease in the value of the Companies and of any other loss or damage directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by the Purchaser in consequence of, or in relation to, the subject matter of such Claim.
 
10.6  
Where any of the Warranties are qualified by the expression “so far as the Seller is aware”, “to the Seller’s knowledge, information and belief”, “known to the Seller” or anything similar, such Warranty shall be deemed to be given to the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Seller after making all due and careful enquiries and/or searches.
 
10.7  
Where any information or documents have been supplied by or on behalf of any employee of the Companies to the Seller, JF or their advisors in connection with the Warranties or any disclosures in the Disclosure Letter, the provisions of such information or documents shall not constitute a warranty, representation or guarantee as to the accuracy of the information or documents from the employee concerned to the Seller and JF and the Seller and JF hereby undertake to waive any and all claims which they might otherwise have against the employee concerned in respect of any Claims arising from the provision of such information.
 
10.8  
The Warranties will each remain in full force and effect beyond and notwithstanding Completion and are each made without prejudice to any of the others. No provision of this Agreement will limit the extent or application of any Warranty and no information relating to the Companies of which the Purchaser or any of its advisers has knowledge (actual or constructive) will prejudice any Claim or operate to reduce any amounts recoverable. Notwithstanding the above or any other provision of this Agreement the Warranties shall not be or be capable of being qualified or discharged by the Disclosure Letter or in any other way insofar as any Claim arises as a consequence of the fraud or wilful or negligent misconduct or concealment of the Seller.
 
10.9  
The amount of any successful Claim against the Seller under the Warranties shall to the extent permissible be deemed to constitute a reduction in the Consideration.
 
10.10  
The Seller each acknowledge that the IP Assignment and the other documents referred to in clause 5.2(d) are precautionary only and confirms that no such document prejudices or qualifies any of the Warranties in any manner whatsoever.
 
11.  
Consideration Shares
 
The Seller represents, warrants and undertakes to the Purchaser that it will hold any Consideration Shares:
 
(a)  
for investment purposes only and not with a view to distribution; and
 
(b)  
according to the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 4 of this Agreement.
 
5

 
12.  
Set Off
 
12.1  
The Purchaser shall be entitled to set off or (pending the determination of the relevant amount) withhold any amounts payable by it to the Seller now or in the future against:
 
(a)  
the amount of any Claims or other claims by the Purchaser under or in respect of this Agreement;
 
(b)  
any amount owed by the Seller pursuant to clauses 7.1 and 10.5; and
 
(c)  
any other sum due to the Purchaser by the Seller under the terms of this Agreement.
 
12.2

(a)  
at any time after the date of this Agreement:

disclose to any person or use themselves for any purpose any information concerning the Business, the Companies, accounts or finances of the Business or the Companies or any of their clients or customers’ transactions or affairs which may have come to their knowledge and each of the Seller and JF further agrees to use its best endeavours to prevent the publication and/or disclosure of the same; or

in the course of carrying on any trade or business, claim, represent or otherwise indicate any present association with the Business, the Companies, the Purchaser or for the purpose of obtaining or retaining any business or custom claim, represent or otherwise indicate any past association with the Business, the Companies or the Purchaser; or
 
(iv)  
do or say anything with the intention of harming the reputation of the Business, the Companies or the Purchaser or do anything which could be anticipated to lead to any person or undertaking ceasing to do business with the Business, the Companies or the Purchaser; or
 
(b)  
for a period of 3 years after the date of this Agreement:
 
(i)  
solicit, canvass, interfere with or endeavour to entice away from the Purchaser or Companies (or procure or assist any persons to do any of the foregoing) any Restricted Customer or Restricted Supplier or their business or custom with a view to providing goods, services and/or rights to that Restricted Customer or receiving goods, services and/or rights from that Restricted Supplier in competition with the Business, the Purchaser or the Companies;

13.2  
The restrictions contained in Clause 13.1 (which are without prejudice to each other) are considered reasonable and necessary by the parties for the proper protection of the Companies and goodwill of the Business, but in the event that any such restriction shall be found to be void but would be valid if some part thereof were deleted or the period or area of application reduced such restriction shall apply with such modification as may be necessary to make it valid and effective.
 
13.3  
Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that the Purchaser may have, each of the Seller and JF acknowledges and agrees that damages alone would not be an adequate remedy for any breach by the Seller or JF of the provisions of this Clause 13 and that, accordingly, the Purchaser shall be entitled without proof of special damages to the remedies of injunction, specific performance and/or other equitable relief for any threatened or actual breach of the provisions of this Clause 13 by the Seller or JF.
 
13.4  
Each of the obligations on the Seller and JF contained in the above provisions of this Clause 13 constitutes an entirely separate and independent restriction on the Seller and JF notwithstanding that they may be contained in the same sub-clause, paragraph, sentence or phrase.
 
14.

6.  
TAX ON COVENANT PAYMENTS

6.1  
If any Tax Authority brings into charge to Tax any sum paid to the Purchaser under this Schedule (including in circumstances where any relief is available in respect of such charge to Tax), then the Seller shall pay such additional amount as shall be required to ensure that the total amount paid, less the Tax chargeable on such amount (or that would be so chargeable but for such relief), is equal to the amount that would otherwise be payable under this Schedule.

6.2  
Paragraph 6.1 shall apply in respect of any amount deducted or withheld as contemplated by paragraph 5.2 as it applies to sums paid to the Purchaser, save to the extent that in computing the Tax chargeable the Purchaser is able to obtain a credit for the amount deducted or withheld.

8.  
DUE DATE OF PAYMENT AND INTEREST

8.1  
Where a claim under this Schedule relates to a liability to make or suffer an actual payment or increased payment of Tax or an amount in respect thereof or where either Company is under a liability to make a payment of the type referred to in paragraph 2.3 above (in this paragraph referred to as a group relief payment), the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser the amount claimed under this Schedule in respect thereof on or before the date which is the later of the date ten Business Days after demand is made therefor under this Schedule and the fifth Business Day prior to:

(a)  
in the case of Tax in respect of which there is no provision for payment by instalments, the latest date on which the Tax in question can be paid to the relevant Tax Authority in order to avoid a liability to interest or penalties accruing;

(b)  
in the case of Tax in respect of which there is provision for payment by instalments, each date on which an instalment of such Tax becomes payable (and so that on each such date an appropriate proportion of the amount claimed shall be paid, such proportion to be notified by the Purchaser to the Seller at least five Business Days prior to each such date); or

(c)  
in the case of a group relief payment, the date on which that group relief payment is payable to the person demanding the same.
 
49

 
Provided that, if the date on which Tax to which this paragraph applies can be recovered is deferred following application to the appropriate authority and the Seller indemnifies and secures the Purchaser and the relevant Company to the Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction in accordance with paragraph 7.1, the date for payment by the Seller shall be the earlier of the date on which the Tax becomes recoverable by the relevant Tax Authority (notwithstanding any initial deferral) and such date when the amount of Tax is finally and conclusively determined. For this purpose, an amount of Tax shall be deemed to be finally determined when, in respect of such amount, an agreement under section 54 of the Taxes Management Act 1970 or any legislative provision corresponding to that section is made, or a decision of a court or tribunal is given or any binding agreement or determination is made from which either no appeal lies or in respect of which no appeal is made within the prescribed time limit.

8.2  
Where a claim under this Schedule relates to the loss or set off of a repayment of Tax, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser the amount claimed under this Schedule in respect thereof on or before the date which is the later of the date ten Business Days after demand is made therefor under this Schedule and the date when such repayment would have been due were it not for such loss or setting off.

8.3  
Where a claim under this Schedule relates to the loss, use or set off of any relief other than a repayment of Tax, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser the amount claimed under this Schedule in respect thereof on or before the date which is the later of the date ten Business Days after demand is made therefor under this Schedule, and:

(a)  
in the case of a relief which is used or set off, the date or dates referred to in paragraph 8.1(a) or 8.1(b) that would have applied to the Tax saved by the use or set off of the relief if that Tax had been payable; or

(b)  
in the case of a relief which is lost, the date or dates referred to in paragraph 8.1(a) or 8.1(b) that apply to the Tax which but for such loss would have been saved by virtue of such relief, ignoring for this purpose the effect of reliefs (other than deductions in computing profits for the purposes of Tax) arising in respect of an Event occurring or period ending after Completion.

8.4  
Where a claim under this Schedule relates to Costs of the type referred to in paragraph 2.4 above, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser the amount claimed under this Schedule in respect thereof on or before the date which is the later of the date ten Business Days after demand is made therefor under this Schedule and the fifth Business Day prior to the date when the relevant Company becomes liable to pay or incur such Costs under the relevant sale and purchase agreement.

8.5  
Paragraphs 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4 shall apply to any additional amount payable under paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 so that such amount shall be paid on the later of the date ten Business Days after demand is made therefor by or on behalf of the claimant and such other date or dates determined under paragraphs 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4 in relation to the Tax, relief or Costs to which the claim under paragraph 2 in respect of which such additional amount is due, relates.

8.6  
Any sum not paid by the Seller on the due date for payment specified in this paragraph 8 shall bear interest (which shall accrue from day to day after as well as before any judgment for the same) at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum over the base rate of Barclays Bank Plc. (or in the absence of such rate at such similar rate as the Purchaser shall select) from the due date to and including the day of actual payment of such sum, compounded quarterly. Such interest shall be paid on the demand of the Purchaser.

9.  
RECOVERY FROM THIRD PARTIES

9.1  
If any payment is made by the Seller under this Schedule in full discharge of a liability which arises under this Schedule in respect of a Tax Liability and the Purchaser or either Company subsequently receives from any person other than the Purchaser or the relevant Company or any person connected with any of them a payment or relief in respect of the Tax Liability in question (which payment or relief is received by virtue of a legal right), the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller an amount equal to the amount received or the amount that the Purchaser or the relevant Company will save by virtue of the receipt of the relief (less the amount of all costs and expenses in obtaining such payment or relief, and net of any Tax payable on the amount received) to the extent that the payment to the Seller does not exceed the payment originally made by the Seller (net of any Tax suffered thereon), and to the extent that the right to such payment or relief is not prejudiced thereby.
 
50

 
9.2  
Where the Purchaser or the relevant Company receives a relief as referred to in paragraph 9.1, a payment shall not be made to the Seller before the date on which the Tax that would have been payable but for the relief would have become recoverable by the appropriate Tax Authority, and shall not be made to the extent that, but for the use of such relief, the relevant Company would have had an actual Tax Liability in respect of which the Purchaser would have been able to make a claim against the Seller under this Schedule.

10.  
SECONDARY LIABILITIES

10.1  
The Seller covenants with the Purchaser to pay to the Purchaser an amount equivalent to any Tax or any amount on account of Tax which the relevant Company, or any other member of the Purchaser’s Group, is required to pay as a result of a failure by any member of the Retained Group to discharge that Tax.

10.2  
The Purchaser covenants with the Seller to pay to the Seller an amount equivalent to any Tax or any amount on account of Tax which any member of the Retained Group is required to pay as a result of a failure by the relevant Company, or any other member of the Purchaser’s Group, to discharge that Tax.

10.3  
The covenants contained in paragraphs 10.1 and 10.2 shall:

(a)  
extend to any costs incurred in connection with such Tax or a claim under paragraph 10.1 or 10.2 as the case may be

(b)  
(in the case of paragraph 10.2) not apply to Tax to the extent that the Purchaser could claim payment in respect of it under paragraph 2, except to the extent a payment has been made pursuant to paragraph 2 and the Tax to which it relates was not paid by the relevant Company;

(c)  
not apply to Tax to the extent it has been recovered under any relevant statutory provision (and the Purchaser or the Seller as the case may be shall procure that no such recovery is sought to the extent that payment is made hereunder); and

(d)  
not apply to Tax to the extent that a contribution is or has been made in respect of it pursuant to the group payment arrangement referred to in paragraph 11.13.

10.4  
Paragraph 8 (due date for payment) shall apply to the covenants contained in paragraphs 10.1 and 10.2 as they apply to the covenants contained in paragraph 2, replacing references to the Seller by the Purchaser (and vice versa) where appropriate, and making any other necessary modifications.

“time limit”
means the latest date on which a Tax document can be executed or delivered to a relevant Tax Authority either without incurring interest or a penalty, or in order to ensure that such Tax document is effective.

Rights and Obligations of the Seller

11.2  
Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph the Seller or its duly authorised agents shall, in respect of all accounting periods ending on or before Completion, and at its own cost:

(a)  
prepare the Tax returns of each Company;

(b)  
(subject to paragraph 13) prepare on behalf of each Company all claims, elections, surrenders, disclaimers, notices and consents for the purposes of Tax; and

(c)  
(subject to paragraph 7) deal with all matters relating to Tax which concern or affect each Company, including the conduct of all negotiations and correspondence and the reaching of all agreements relating thereto or to any Tax documents.

11.3  
Except with the Purchaser’s written consent, the Seller shall not, and shall procure that its duly authorised agents do not, prepare any Tax document (or any similar document relating to the Tax affairs of the Seller or any company under its control) which comprises or includes a claim, election, surrender, disclaimer, notice or consent, or withdraw any such item unless the making, giving or withdrawal of it (as the case may be) either has been taken into account in preparing the Accounts and the Reference Accounts, or could not have any adverse effect on the liability to Tax of the relevant Company.

11.4  
The Seller or its duly authorised agents shall deliver all Tax documents to the Purchaser for authorisation, signing and submission to the relevant Tax Authority. If a time limit applies in relation to any Tax document, the Seller shall ensure that the Purchaser receives the Tax document no later than 10 Business Days before the expiry of the time limit.

11.5  
If the Seller or its duly authorised agent fails to deliver a Tax document to which a time limit applies to the Purchaser within the period specified in paragraph 11.4, and such Tax document is a Tax return or is otherwise material to the Tax position of the relevant Company:

(a)  
the Seller shall notify the Purchaser of such failure as soon as is practicable;

(b)  
the Purchaser shall be permitted to arrange for the preparation and submission of the Tax document (but shall not be liable for any failure to do so); and

(c)  
(for the avoidance of doubt) paragraph 2.1(c) shall apply in respect of such failure.

11.6  
The Seller shall procure that:
 
52

 
(a)  
the Purchaser is kept fully informed of the progress of all matters relating to the pre-Completion Tax affairs;

(b)  
the Purchaser promptly receives copies of all written correspondence with any Tax Authority insofar as it is relevant to the pre-Completion Tax affairs;

(c)  
no Tax document is submitted to any Tax Authority which is not, so far as the Seller is aware, complete, true and accurate in all respects, and not misleading; and

(d)  
no Material Correspondence is submitted to, or any Material Agreement reached with, any Tax Authority without the prior approval of the Purchaser (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

For the purposes of sub-paragraph 11.6(d) above, Material Correspondence and Material Agreements are Tax documents, other correspondence and agreements which the Seller considers or ought reasonably to consider may be of material importance to the Purchaser as regards either the future relationship with the Tax Authority concerned, or the future liability to Tax, of the Purchaser or the relevant Company.

11.7  
The Seller agrees to devote reasonable resources to dealing with pre-Completion Tax affairs, and shall use reasonable endeavours to ensure that they are finalised as soon as reasonably practicable. Following such date the Seller and its agents shall cease to be responsible for, or to have power or authority to deal with, pre-Completion Tax affairs on behalf of the Companies but shall pay to the Purchaser the amount of any reasonable costs and expenses thereafter incurred in conducting such affairs.

Obligations of the Purchaser

11.8  
The Purchaser shall procure that:

(a)  
the Seller and its duly authorised agents are afforded such access (including the taking of copies) to the books, accounts and records of the Companies and such other assistance as it or they reasonably require to enable the Seller to discharge its obligations under paragraph 11.2 and to enable the Seller and any member of the Retained Group to comply with its own Tax obligations; and

(b)  
the Seller is sent a copy of any communication from any Tax Authority insofar as it relates to the pre-Completion Tax affairs.

11.9  
The Purchaser shall (subject to paragraph 11.10 below and to compliance by the Seller with the other provisions of this paragraph 11) be obliged to procure that each Company shall cause any Tax document delivered to it under paragraph 11.4 to be authorised, signed and submitted to the appropriate Tax Authority.

Rights of the Purchaser

11.10  
The Purchaser shall be under no obligation to procure the authorisation, signing, or submission to a Tax Authority of any Tax document delivered to it under paragraph 11.4 which it considers in its reasonable opinion to be false, misleading, incomplete or inaccurate in any respect, but for the avoidance of doubt shall be under no obligation to make any enquiry as to the completeness or accuracy thereof and shall be entitled to rely entirely on the Seller and its agents.

11.11  
If the Purchaser considers in its reasonable opinion that:

(a)  
any Tax document prepared by or on behalf of the Seller pursuant to paragraph 11.2 is false, misleading, incomplete or inaccurate in any material respect (otherwise than as a result of the non-disclosure of information by the Purchaser or either Company to the Seller); or
 
53

 
(b)  
the way in which the Seller or its duly authorised agents are conducting or are proposing to conduct the pre-Completion Tax affairs is improper or negligent or is likely to:

(i)  
involve unreasonable delay in reaching agreement with a relevant Tax Authority; or

(ii)  
prejudice the future relationship with the Tax Authority of the Purchaser or either Company,

then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies available to the Purchaser under this Schedule, the Purchaser shall be entitled to serve notice on the Seller terminating its authority to deal with pre-Completion Tax affairs, whereupon the provisions of paragraph 11.7 shall apply as if the date referred to in that paragraph had passed.

12.  
CONDUCT OF OTHER TAX AFFAIRS

12.1  
The Purchaser or its duly authorised agents shall have sole conduct of all Tax affairs of the Companies which are not pre-Completion Tax affairs and shall be entitled to deal with such Tax affairs in any way in which it, in its absolute discretion, considers fit.

12.2  
In respect of any accounting period commencing prior to Completion and ending after Completion (the “Straddle Period”) the Purchaser shall procure that the Tax returns of each Company shall be prepared on a basis which is consistent with the manner in which the Tax returns of each Company were prepared for all accounting periods ending prior to Completion.

12.3  
The Seller shall provide such assistance as the Purchaser shall reasonably request in preparing all Tax returns relating to the Straddle Period.
