Any sum recovered by the Buyer or the Company (less any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Buyer or any Company in recovering the sum (including legal fees) and any Tax attributable to or suffered in respect of the sum recovered) will reduce the amount of such Claim under a Fundamental Warranty by an equivalent amount. |
52
(b) | Where the Buyer (or any assignee or successor in title thereof) is or may be entitled to recover from any person any sum in respect of any matter or event which is likely to give rise to a Claim under a Fundamental Warranty, the Buyer shall keep the Seller at all times reasonably informed of the conduct of such recovery to the extent it lawfully can. |
(c) | If such recovery is delayed until after the Claim under a Fundamental Warranty has been satisfied by the Seller, the Buyer shall repay to the Seller the amount so recovered (less any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Buyer in recovering the sum (including legal fees)). If the amount so recovered exceeds the amount of all Claims satisfied by the Seller, the Buyer shall be entitled to retain the excess, but this shall be set off against any future Claims under the Fundamental Warranties. |
11 | Mitigation |
Nothing in this Schedule 4 (Limitation of the Sellers Liability) or otherwise shall restrict or limit any obligation which the Buyer may have at common law to mitigate any loss or damage which it may suffer or incur as a consequence of any breach of this Agreement or in relation to any other matter, event or circumstance which gives rise to a Claim other than a Claim under the Tax Deed.
12 | Buyers knowledge |
The Buyer confirms that it is not aware of any matter that constitutes a breach of the Warranties other than as Disclosed in the First Disclosure Letter.
13 | Fraud |

Schedule 10
Pre-exchange Reorganisation
Time Inc. (UK) Blue Fin Holdings Limited (No. 09759756) (the Seller) is incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Time Inc (UK) Ltd (TIUK).
TIUK subscribes for additional share capital in the Seller for an amount equal to: (i) Estimated NAV; plus (ii) an amount equal to the amount of a dividend to be paid by the Company to the Seller shortly after the date of this Agreement (the Relevant Amount). TIUK shall issue loan notes to the Seller for an amount equal to the Relevant Amount in consideration of such subscription (the TIUK Loan Note).
TIUK and the Seller enter into the Sale and Purchase Agreement for Seller to acquire all of the beneficial interest in the shares in the Company from TIUK (Newco SPA). Consideration for this is settled by the Seller assigning the TIUK Loan Note to TIUK (the TIUK Loan Note is thereby automatically cancelled).
On completion of the Newco SPA, a declaration of trust is entered into under which TIUK agrees to hold all of the shares in the Company as bare trustee for the Seller (the Declaration of Trust).
TIUK writes to HMRC claiming s.42 relief on the transfer of the beneficial interest in the shares in the Company from TIUK to the Seller.
As soon as reasonably practicable following completion of the Newco SPA, the Seller directs TIUK to transfer the legal interest in all of the shares in the Company to it. A stock transfer form in respect of all of the shares in the Company for nil consideration is executed under which TIUK transfers the legal interest in these shares to the Seller (the STF).
As soon as reasonably practicable after execution of the STF, the Company will hold a board meeting to resolve to update the Companys statutory books to reflect the Seller as the sole shareholder of the Company, and the Company will then update such statutory books accordingly.
