7.		Restrictive Covenants
7.1		Restricted Business
		In this clause 7, “Restricted Business” means the business of the manufacture of commercial vehicle exterior lighting systems carried on within the European Union and which directly or indirectly competes with the business of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries carried on at the Completion Date.
7.2		Undertakings
		The Vendor undertakes (for the benefit of the Purchaser, the Company and the Subsidiaries) that the Vendor will not and that it will procure that none of the members of the Vendor’s Group will:

(A)

for the period of 60 months after the Completion Date, either on its own account or in conjunction with or on behalf of any person, firm or company, carry on or be engaged, concerned or interested (directly or indirectly and whether as principal, shareholder, director, employee, agent, consultant, partner or otherwise) in carrying on any Restricted Business, other than as a holder for investment purposes only (which shall exclude a management function or any material influence) of any shares, debentures or other participation and a holding of not more than 5 per cent of any class of shares or debentures shall be deemed to be for such purposes unless the contrary is shown;

	(B)		for the period of 18 months after the Completion Date, either on its own account or in conjunction with or on behalf of any person, firm or company, solicit or endeavour to entice away from the Company or any of the Subsidiaries any person who at the Completion Date is (or who within a period of one year prior to the Completion Date has been) an officer or employee of, or an independent contractor supplying his/her labour or services to, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries whether or not such person would commit a breach of contract by reason of leaving service or office; and

7.3		Separate undertakings
		Each of the undertakings in clause 7.2 shall be construed as a separate and independent undertaking and if one or more of the undertakings is held to be void or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining undertakings shall not be affected.
7.4		Reasonableness
		The Vendor agrees that each of the restrictions and undertakings contained in clauses 7.2 are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Purchaser’s legitimate interests in the goodwill of the Company and the Subsidiaries, but if any such restriction or undertaking shall be found to be void or voidable but would be valid and enforceable if some part or parts of the restriction or undertaking were deleted, such restriction or undertaking shall apply with such modification as may be necessary to make it valid and enforceable.
7.5		Void or unenforceable restrictions
		Without prejudice to clause 7.4, if any restriction or undertaking is found by any court or other competent authority to be void or unenforceable the parties shall negotiate in good faith to replace such void or unenforceable restriction or undertaking with a valid provision which, as far as possible, has the same commercial effect as that which it replaces.
8.		Specific Indemnity
8.1		Indemnity by Vendor
		Subject to the limitations in clause 8.3, the Vendor indemnifies and holds harmless the Purchaser in respect of any liability of a Group Company to pay any VAT (or equivalent tax) in Germany which arose prior to Completion in connection with any supplies made to or by any company within the Daimler Chrysler group including, for the avoidance of doubt, any related fines, interest or penalties arising in connection with such supplies (unless such amount is already recovered by the Purchaser under the Tax Deed or has been provided for in the Completion Accounts).
8.2		Set-off Right
		The Purchaser is entitled to set-off any amounts that are due and payable pursuant to clause 8.1 against any amounts that are due and payable by the Purchaser to the Vendor under this Agreement, in particular, any payment to be made by the Purchaser to the Vendor under schedule 6, schedule 7 or clause 3.2 of this Agreement.

	(C)		paragraph 9 (Non quantifiable liabilities)
	(D)		paragraph 10 (Mitigation)
	(E)		paragraph 11 (No duplication of recovery)

For the avoidance of doubt, all other provisions contained in schedule 4 do not apply to an Indemnity Claim.

8.4		No disclosures
		For the avoidance of doubt, an Indemnity Claim is not subject to any disclosures contained in the Disclosure Letter, and Indemnity Claims exist irrespective of any facts or matters being known to the Purchaser.
8.5		Reduction in Consideration
		Any sum payable by the Vendor in respect of an Indemnity Claim (including by way of set-off) shall be treated as a reduction in the Initial Consideration.
9.		Post Completion Obligations
9.1		Books and Records

The obligations of the Vendor Guarantor in this clause

			10.1(A) are primary obligations and not a mere surety and shall not be affected by any of the obligations of Vendor being void, voidable or unenforceable for any reason and in such event the Vendor Guarantor shall perform the obligations of the Vendor as if it were primarily liable for the performance.

Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser is to be at liberty at any time and without reference to the Vendor Guarantor to grant any time for payment or grant any other indulgence or agree to any amendment, variation, waiver or release in respect of any of the obligations of the Vendor under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents and to give up, deal with, vary, exchange or abstain from perfecting or enforcing any other securities or guarantees held by the Purchaser at any time and to discharge any party to such securities or guarantees and to realise such securities or guarantees or any of them, as the Purchaser thinks fit, and to compound with, accept compositions from and make any other arrangements with the Vendor or any person or persons liable on other securities or guarantees held or to be held by the Purchaser without affecting the liability of the Vendor Guarantor under clause 10.1(A).
	(D)		So long as the Vendor remains under any actual or contingent obligation under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents the Vendor Guarantor shall not exercise any rights which it may at any time have by reason of the performance of its obligations under clause 10.1(A) to be indemnified by the Vendor, to claim any contribution from any other surety of the obligations of the Vendor or to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any of the rights of the Purchaser under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents or of any other security taken by the Purchaser pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or the Transaction Documents.
	(E)		The liability of the Vendor Guarantor pursuant to clause 10.1(A) shall not be affected by the avoidance of any assurance, security or payment or any release, settlement or discharge which may have been given or made on the faith of any assurance, security or payment, in either case, under any enactment relating to bankruptcy or insolvency.

	(B)		The obligations of the Purchaser Guarantor pursuant to clause 10.2(A) shall be continuing obligations and shall not be satisfied, discharged or affected by any intermediate payment or settlement of account or any change in the constitution or control of, or the insolvency of, or any bankruptcy, winding up or analogous proceedings relating to, the Purchaser.

	(C)		The liability of the Purchaser Guarantor pursuant to clause 10.2(A) shall not be affected by any arrangement which the Purchaser may make with the Vendor or with any other person which (but for this clause 10.2(C)) might operate to diminish or discharge the liability of or otherwise provide a defence to a surety. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Vendor is to be at liberty at any time and without reference to the Purchaser Guarantor to grant any time for payment or grant any other indulgence or agree to any amendment, variation, waiver or release in respect of any of the obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement or the Purchaser Documents and to give up, deal with, vary, exchange or abstain from perfecting or enforcing any other securities or guarantees held by the Vendor at any time and to discharge any party to such securities or guarantees and to realise such securities or guarantees or any of them, as the Vendor thinks fit, and to compound with, accept compositions from and make any other arrangements with the Purchaser or any person or persons liable on other securities or guarantees held or to be held by the Vendor without affecting the liability of the Purchaser Guarantor under clause 10.2(A).
	(D)		So long as the Purchaser remains under any actual or contingent obligation under this Agreement or the Purchaser Documents the Purchaser Guarantor shall not exercise any rights which it may at any time have by reason of the performance of its obligations under clause 10.2(A) to be indemnified by the Purchaser, to claim any contribution from any other surety of the obligations of the Purchaser or to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any of the rights of the Vendor under this Agreement or the Purchaser Documents or of any other security taken by the Vendor pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or the Purchaser Documents.
	(E)		The liability of the Purchaser Guarantor pursuant to clause 10.2(A) shall not be affected by the avoidance of any assurance, security or payment or any release, settlement or discharge which may have been given or made on the faith of any assurance, security or payment, in either case, under any enactment relating to bankruptcy or insolvency.
