9.3.1 | Without the prior written consent of the Seller the Buyer shall not effect any settlement compromise or release any claim in respect of any of the Receivables nor, without such consent, institute, carry on, defend, compromise, abandon or submit to judgment in any legal proceedings or join in and submit to arbitration or give security or indemnities for costs, pay any sum of money into court or obtain payment of money lodged in court. |
9.3.2 | If it becomes apparent that recovery of any of the Receivables is not likely to be possible within a reasonable period not to exceed ninety (90) days unless legal proceedings are instituted, the Buyer will advise the Seller in writing and furnish the Seller with particulars of the steps taken by the Buyer to effect recovery. Where the debtor in question is a continuing debtor of the Business after Completion, the Seller shall consult with the Buyer to determine what action is required in respect of the debtor(s) in question; |
18
9.3.3 | Within ten (10) Business Days of the end of each month commencing after Completion the Buyer shall provide the Seller with a statement of the Receivables collected in that month (or, in the case of the first such month, the period between Completion and the end of such month) and shall remit to the Seller the amounts so received during that period; and |
9.3.4 | After the expiration of six (6) months from Completion the obligations of the Buyer under this Clause 9.3 to collect Receivables on behalf of the Seller shall cease, save that if thereafter any payments are made to the Buyer in respect of Receivables, the Buyer shall remit the same to the Seller as soon as practicable following receipt. |
10. | CONTRACTS, IVEX PRODUCT LICENCES AND IVEX MANUFACTURING LICENCES |
10.1 | The Seller undertakes with effect from Completion to assign to the order of the Buyer, or to procure the assignment to the order of the Buyer, all the Contracts which are capable of assignment without the consent of other parties or without breaching the terms of such Contracts. |
10.2 | In so far as any of the Contracts are not assignable to the Buyer without the agreement of or novation by or consent to the assignment from another party, this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or attempted assignment if such assignment or attempted assignment would constitute a breach of such Contracts. |
10.3 | If any of the Contracts cannot be assigned or novated to the Buyer without the consent of a third party, then each of the Seller and the Buyer shall use their respective reasonable endeavours to obtain such consent. |
10.4 | In any case where the consent in Clause 10.3 above is refused or otherwise not obtained and until it is obtained or where any of the Contracts are incapable of transfer to the Buyer by assignment or by other means: |
10.4.1 | the Seller shall hold those Contracts and any monies, goods or other benefits received thereunder as agent of and trustee for the Buyer and shall forthwith upon receipt of the same account for and pay or deliver to the Buyer such monies, goods and other benefits; |
10.4.2 | the Buyer shall perform those Contracts in accordance with their terms and conditions as sub-contractor to the Seller, provided that sub-contracting is permissible under the terms of the Contract in question; and where sub-contracting is not permissible, the Buyer shall perform the Contracts in accordance with their terms and conditions as agent for the Seller and |
19
indemnify and keep indemnified the Seller against all obligations, debts, costs, claims, demands, reasonably incurred expenses and damages in respect thereof incurred by the Buyer after Completion; provided the Buyer shall not be liable to pay or perform any such claims, costs, expenses or demands to the extent that such claims, costs, expenses or demands arise from or have increased due to any actions taken or omissions made by the Seller or any member of the Sellers Group prior to the Completion; and |
10.4.3 | the Seller shall give all reasonable assistance to the Buyer to enable the Buyer to enforce the rights of the Seller under the Contracts and shall at all times act with regard to the Contracts in accordance with the Buyers reasonable instructions from time to time and will provide access to all relevant books, documents and other information in relation to such Contracts as are within the Sellers possession or the possession of the Sellers Group and as the Buyer may reasonably request in writing from time to time; and the Buyer agrees to reimburse the Seller for any out of pocket expenses reasonably incurred in fulfilling the Sellers obligations under this Clause. |
10.5 | To the extent that any payment is made to the Seller in respect of the Contracts on or after Completion, the Seller shall receive the same as trustee, shall record such payment separately in its books and shall account to the Buyer for the same within five (5) Business Days of receipt. |
10.6 | To the extent permitted by the competent authority, the Seller undertakes with effect from Completion to permit the Buyer to operate the Business under the Ivex Manufacturing Licences for the Interim Period or until the Buyer is granted New Licences, whichever is the earlier. |
10.7 | In consideration for the permission granted by the Seller in Clause 10.6 and for so long as the Buyer is operating under the Ivex Manufacturing Licences, the Buyer will procure that no acts are performed or amendments or omissions made to the quality systems, processes and procedures currently employed by the Seller or its agents or representatives in carrying on the Business which may affect either directly or indirectly the validity of the Ivex Manufacturing Licences and the Buyer shall hold harmless and indemnify and keep indemnified the Seller and each member of the Sellers Group against all losses, claims, expenses and damage (including reasonable legal and other professional fees and expenses reasonably and properly incurred) that result from the Buyer being in breach of the provisions of this Clause 10.7; provided the Buyer shall not be liable to pay or perform any such claims, costs, expenses or demands to the extent that such claims, costs, expenses or demands arise from or have increased due to any |
20
actions taken or omissions made by the Seller or any member of the Sellers Group prior to the Completion. |
10.8 | Both parties will use all their reasonable endeavours and perform all such acts that may be reasonably necessary during the Interim Period to ensure the New Licences are granted and each party will provide the other with any information they may reasonably request on the progress of such applications. |
10.9 | Pending the grant to the Buyer of the New Licences, the Seller shall: |
10.9.1 | in so far as it can do so legally, hold the Ivex Marketing Authorisations as nominee and trustee for and on behalf of the Buyer and shall agree to transfer the Ivex Marketing Authorisations as the Buyer may from time to time reasonably direct in writing; |
10.9.2 | knowingly do nothing which might render the Ivex Manufacturing Licenses and the Ivex Marketing Authorisations liable to be cancelled or revoked. |
10.10 | The Buyer confirms that it assumes all responsibility for regulatory, pharmacovigilance and medical information activities, effective from the Completion Date in respect of the Ivex Marketing Authorisations.

11. | PREPAYMENTS BY SELLER AND CUSTOMERS |
11.1 | The following provisions shall apply in respect of any prepayments to or by the Seller or Sellers Group in relation to the Business only: |
11.1.1 | the Seller shall account to the Buyer for all prepayments received by the Seller or the Sellers Group in respect of any Contracts not wholly completed or discharged at Completion by the Seller to the extent that such prepayments exceed the actual costs incurred by the Seller (if any) in partially performing such Contracts prior to Completion; and |
11.1.2 | the Buyer shall account to the Seller for all payments made by the Seller in respect of any Contracts not wholly completed or discharged at Completion by suppliers of goods and services to the extent that such payments exceed the value of goods and/or services already supplied prior to Completion. |
21
11.2 | Save as expressly stated otherwise in the Services Agreements, all rates, water, gas, electricity and telephone charges, salaries, wages, and other outgoings and costs of a periodic nature which are chargeable by reference to a period commencing before and ending after Completion shall be apportioned on a time basis pro rata (provided that any such outgoings or costs chargeable by reference to the extent of the use of any property or rights shall be apportioned between the Seller and the Buyer according to the extent of such use). |
11.3 | Where any amounts are to be apportioned under this Agreement, the Seller shall provide the Buyer with details of the apportionments with supporting vouchers or similar documentation, and in the absence of dispute between the Seller and the Buyer, the appropriate payment shall be made by or to the Seller in accordance with the terms of this Clause 11. If the amount of any apportionment is in dispute, the matter shall be referred for final settlement to a firm of chartered accountants nominated jointly by the Seller and the Buyer or, failing such nomination, within fourteen (14) days after request by either the Seller or the Buyer, nominated at the request of either of them by the President for the time being of the Ulster Society of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland. The accountants shall be entitled to call for and inspect such documents as they may reasonably consider necessary. In making their determination, the accountants shall act as experts and not as arbitrators, their decision shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding on the parties and their fees shall be borne and paid by the Seller and the Buyer in such proportions as the accountants determine. The amount determined to be due in accordance with this Clause shall be paid within fourteen (14) days of the date of determination, together with interest calculated on a daily basis (as well after as before judgment), from the date of determination until the date of actual payment, at the rate of two (2) per cent per annum above the base lending rate from time to time of Bank of Ireland, Belfast. |
11.4 | In relation to any expenditure or outgoing of the Business which is consideration for a taxable supply and which is apportioned under this Clause 11.4, that part of the amount of the expenditure or outgoing which is input tax for the purposes of VAT shall be apportioned to the party which is entitled to recover such input tax or obtain credit for it pursuant to the Value Added Tax Act 1994. |
11.5 | Any payment due between the parties pursuant to this Clause 11.5 (save as otherwise provided for in Clause 11.3) shall be paid within thirty (30) days of Completion. |
22
12. | EMPLOYEES |
12.1 | The Seller and the Buyer acknowledge and agree that the sale and purchase of the Business and Assets pursuant to this Agreement will constitute a relevant transfer for the purposes of the Regulations and that such transactions will not operate so as to terminate any of the contracts of employment of the Assumed Employees. |
12.2 | The Buyer undertakes to the Seller that it shall give the Seller such information as will enable the Seller to perform the duty imposed on it by regulation 10.2 (d) of the Regulations. |
12.3 | The Buyer undertakes to indemnify the Seller against all liabilities, obligations, costs, claims and demands arising from or in respect of the Buyers treatment of any of the Assumed Employees after Completion provided that and to the extent that such claims do not arise due to any act or omission on the part of the Seller on or prior to Completion. |
12.4 | The Buyer shall discharge and hereby undertakes to indemnify the Seller against all liabilities, obligations, costs, claims and demands arising from or in respect of the Assumed Employees before Completion in respect of any breach of Regulation 10(3) of the Regulations by the Buyer. To the extent required by law, the Buyer will indemnify the Seller against any claim arising directly from the resignation of an Assumed Employee on or prior to Completion on account of any proposal of the Buyer to change terms and conditions of employment or working conditions for that Employee, provided (in both cases of the indemnifications in this clause 12.4) the Buyer shall not be liable to pay or perform any such claims, costs, expenses or demands to the extent that such claims, costs, expenses or demands arise from or have increased due to any actions taken or omissions made by the Seller or any member of the Sellers Group prior to the Completion. |
12.5 | The Buyer agrees that for a period of 12 months after Completion the Assumed Employees will continue to receive basic salary and contractual benefits which are overall no less favourable than the salary and contractual benefits for the Assumed Employees at Completion. |
12.6 | If the contract of employment of any Assumed Employee is found (or alleged) not to have effect after Completion as if originally made with the Buyer, the Buyer agrees that: |
12.6.1 | in consultation with the Seller, it will within fourteen (14) days of being informed of such finding or allegation make to the relevant Assumed Employee an offer in writing to employ him under a new contract of employment to take effect on the termination referred to below; and |
23
12.6.2 | any such offer of employment made by the Buyer will be on terms and conditions which, when taken as a whole, do not differ in any material way from the terms and conditions of employment of that Assumed Employee immediately before Completion (save as to the identity of the employer). |
Upon that offer being made (or at any time after the offer should have been made if no offer is made), the Seller will terminate the Sellers employment of the relevant Assumed Employee, and the Buyer shall indemnify and keep the Seller indemnified against all losses, damages, actions, awards, penalties, fines, proceedings liabilities (including any liability for Taxation), obligations, costs, claims, demands and expenses (including legal and other professional fees and expenses) arising out of the Buyers employment of that Assumed Employee from Completion until the termination of such employment.
12.7 | The Seller undertakes to the Buyer: |
12.7.1 | to perform and observe, pending Completion, all the Sellers obligations and those of any of its predecessors (whether arising under common law, statute, equity or otherwise) under or in connection with the contracts of employment of the Assumed Employees (or any of the said obligations the Seller would have had under or in connection with the said contracts but for the Regulations); |
12.7.2 | to pay to the Assumed Employees all sums to which they are entitled up to and including Completion (whether arising under common law, statute, equity or otherwise) including, without limitation, all wages and salaries, sick pay, maternity pay, any liability for Taxation, accrued holiday pay, expenses, accrued bonus, commission and other sums payable in respect of any period up to Completion; |
12.7.3 | to comply in all respects with Regulation 10 of the Regulations (and to provide to the Buyer such information that the Buyer may reasonably request in writing in order to verify such compliance); |
12.7.4 | not to alter (whether to take effect prior to, on or after Completion) any of the terms of employment or engagement of any of the Assumed Employees; |
12.7.5 | not to make any deduction from the salary or other wages due to any of the Assumed Employees (otherwise than in respect of PAYE and National Insurance contributions) unless such deduction shall previously have been approved in writing by such of the Assumed Employees; |
24
12.7.6 | not to terminate or take any steps to terminate the contract of employment of, nor to dismiss (constructively or otherwise), any of the Assumed Employees other than in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 5.1.6 above; |
12.7.7 | not to transfer or move or redeploy any of the Assumed Employees from working within the Business, or induce any such employee to resign his employment from the Business or to agree to transfer or move or be redeployed from the Business (without the prior written consent of the Buyer); |
12.7.8 | to fully indemnify and keep the Buyer and the Buyers Group indemnified against all losses, damages, costs, actions, awards, penalties, fines, proceedings, claims, demands, liabilities (including any liability for Taxation), and expenses (including, legal and other professional fees and expenses) which the Buyer or any of such owners may suffer, sustain, incur, pay or be put to by reason or on account of or arising from: |
12.7.8.1 | any failure by the Seller to comply with its obligations under this Clause 12.7 |
12.7.8.2 | any claim or other legal recourse by all or any of the Assumed Employees in respect of any fact or matter concerning or arising from employment with the Seller prior to Completion. |
12.7.8.3 | any claim or other legal recourse by any trade union or staff association recognised by the Seller or employee representatives in respect of all or any of the Assumed Employees arising from or connected with the failure by the Seller to comply with its legal obligations to such trade union or staff association or employee representatives; |
12.7.8.4 | the employment or termination of employment prior to Completion of any agent or contractor or the Assumed Employees of the Seller whose employment is transferred to the Buyer by the Regulations; |
12.7.8.5 | any act or omission done or omitted to be done by the Seller in relation to the Assumed Employees or any other employee of the Seller which by virtue of the Regulations is deemed to be an act or omission of the Buyer; |
25
12.7.8.6 | without prejudice to sub-Clause 12.7.8.5 above, any claim or demand or other legal recourse against the Buyer by any other person or agent or employee or contractor of the Seller who claims (whether correctly or not) that the Buyer has inherited liability from the Seller in respect of them by virtue of the Regulations; and |
12.7.8.7 | any claim or legal recourse by any Retained Employees or other individuals who have or allege to have provided services for or to the Sellers Group in connection with the Business who are not Assumed Employees. |
12.7.8.8 | without prejudice to clause 12.7.8.7 any costs or claims associated with the employment of Terence Dalrymple and Robert Sanderson and any costs or claims associated with the termination of his employment. |
12.8 | If, as a result of the provisions of the Regulations, any contract of employment or collective agreement not disclosed in the Disclosure Letter to the Buyer shall have effect as if originally made between the Buyer and any of the Assumed Employees or a trade union: |
12.8.1 | the Buyer may, upon becoming aware of the application of the Regulations to any such contract of employment or collective agreement and in consultation with the Seller, terminate such contract or agreement in line with proper redundancy procedures, using reasonable endeavors to comply with any applicable Regulations, provided that such endeavours do not prejudice the indemnity provided by the Seller in clause 12.7; and |
12.8.2 | the Seller shall indemnify and shall keep indemnified the Buyer against all losses, damages, costs, actions, proceedings, claims, demands, liabilities (including, without limitation, any liability for Taxation) and expenses (including, without limitation, legal and other professional fees and expenses) which the Buyer may suffer, incur, sustain, pay or be put to by reason or on account of or arising out of such termination or arising from such contracts of employment or collective agreement before and after Completion if such is not terminated by the Buyer. |
12.9 | Without prejudice to the other provisions of this Clause, the Seller shall, at its own expense, give the Buyer such assistance as the Buyer may reasonably require to contest any claim resulting from or in connection with this Agreement by any person employed in the Business at or prior to Completion. |
26

13. | SELLERS AND BUYERS OBLIGATIONS AFTER COMPLETION |
13.1 | The Seller shall promptly refer to the Buyer all enquiries relating to the Business and assign to the Buyer all orders directly and exclusively relating to the Business which it receives on or after Completion. |
13.2 | The Seller shall notify and keep informed the Buyer of any claims against the Seller brought by any third party in respect of any products or services supplied by the Seller prior to Completion in relation to the Business and the Seller shall not, without the Buyers prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), take any other steps in relation to such claims which might reasonably be expected to damage the commercial interests of the Buyer. If the Buyer considers that it is desirable to take preventative action with a view to avoiding such claims against the Seller, the Buyer shall bear the cost of that action. |
13.3 | On or for a period of five years after Completion (or such shorter period as shall be required under the governing law with respect to the particular type of information), the Seller will give or procure to be given to the Buyer all such information and other assistance (including, without limitation, particulars of customers, suppliers and others who have dealt with the Seller in connection with the Business) as the Buyer may reasonably require for the conduct of the Business and for the purpose of implementing the provisions of this Agreement. During the first two (2) years after Completion, the Seller shall bear the cost of such procurement; thereafter, the Buyer shall bear the cost of procurement and assistance. |
13.4 | Not later than two (2) Business Days after execution of this Agreement, the Seller shall send to each of the Assumed Employees a letter, in the Agreed Form, explaining that the Assumed Employees employment will be transferred to the Buyer at Completion pursuant to the Regulations. |
13.5 | The Seller will, if so required by the Buyer on or at any time after Completion and at the Buyers expense, send a circular (in Agreed Form) to persons who |
27

13.6 | The Seller will give to the Buyer reasonable access to the books, accounts, records and returns of the Seller relating to or in connection with the Business as the Buyer may reasonably require (including the right to take copies and extracts on reasonable advance written notice) and will keep them in good order and, for a period of six (6) years following Completion, the Seller will also retain those items referred to in paragraph (e) of Excluded Assets and shall allow the Buyer reasonable access thereto the terms of which are set out in the Services Agreement. |
13.7 | The Seller shall indemnify the Buyer and keep it indemnified against all outgoings, debts, liabilities, obligations, actions, proceedings, costs, damages, claims and demands of whatever nature relating to and payable in respect of the Business or the Assets which are attributable to the period up to and including Completion and including any act or omission on the part of the Seller in relation to the Contracts or any defects in, or alleged defects in, goods supplied or services provided prior to the Completion and in particular any claim under any warranty or under the Sale of Goods Act 1979 or the Sale and Supply of Goods Act 1994; provided the Seller shall not be liable to pay or perform any such claims, costs, expenses or demands to the extent that such claims, costs, expenses or demands arise from or have increased due to any actions taken or omissions made by the Buyer prior to the Completion . |
13.8 | The Buyer shall indemnify the Seller and keep it indemnified against all outgoings, debts, liabilities, obligations, actions, proceedings, costs, damages, claims and demands of whatever nature relating to and payable in respect of the Business or the Assets which are attributable to the period after Completion; provided the Buyer shall not be liable to pay or perform any such claims, costs, expenses or demands to the extent that such claims, costs, expenses or demands arise from or have increased due to any actions taken or omissions made by the Seller prior to or following the Completion. |

13.10 | During the period of six (6) years after Completion and without prejudice to any of the Warranties, if any information relating to the Business is not in possession |
28
of the Buyer or readily discoverable by the Buyer but is in the possession or under control of or available to the Seller or any other member of the Sellers Group, the Seller shall procure that such information is provided to the Buyer promptly on request. |
14. | VALUE ADDED TAX |
14.1 | All amounts expressed in this Agreement as being payable by any party hereto are expressed exclusive of any value added tax which may be chargeable thereon, and the amount of any such value added tax shall be payable in addition thereto. |
14.2 | The Seller and the Buyer shall use all reasonable endeavours to secure that the conditions of article 5(1) of the Value Added Tax (Special Provisions) Order 1995 SI 1268 and of section 49 of the Value Added Tax Act 1994 are fulfilled so that the sale of the Business and Assets hereunder is properly treated as neither a supply of goods nor a supply of services for the purposes of value added tax. |

and to retain for its own benefit (i) all reimbursement or credit from H.M.

Customs and Excise prior thereto. |
15. | WARRANTIES |
15.1 | The Seller warrants to the Buyer in the terms of the Warranties which shall remain in full force and effect as of the execution of this Agreement as well as on Completion; affirms that such Warranties are made, where so qualified, based on the Sellers knowledge after commercially reasonable inquiry; and acknowledges that the Buyer is entering into this Agreement in reliance on the Warranties. |
15.2 | Each of the Warranties shall be construed as a separate Warranty and (save as expressly provided to the contrary) shall not be limited by the terms of any of the other Warranties. |
15.3 | Save in the case of fraud or fraudulent concealment by the Seller, the Seller shall be under no liability in respect of any claim under the Warranties and any such claim shall be wholly barred and unenforceable unless written notice of such claim setting out full details of the relevant claim (including the grounds (if known) on which such claim is based and the amount claimed to be payable in respect thereof ) shall have been served upon the Seller by the Buyer promptly after it becomes likely that a claim will be made and, in any event: |
15.3.1 | in the case of a claim under the Warranties (other than the Warranties relating to Taxation), by not later than 5.00 p.m. two (2) years from the date hereof; |
15.3.2 | the Seller shall obtain and use its best endeavours to maintain in force a liability insurance in respect of the finished goods and Stock manufactured by the Seller prior to Completion naming the Buyer as a co-insured or beneficiary at no cost to the Buyer for the first two years following Completion. Thereafter, any premium in respect of such insurance for the third and fourth years of its term shall be paid to the Seller by the Buyer within fourteen Business Days of the Seller providing the Buyer with a copy of the appropriate insurance premium demand. The Sellers obligation during the third and fourth years in respect of the Stock warranty shall be limited to its deductible amount thereunder; and |
15.3.3 | the liability of the Seller for any claim specified in such notice shall absolutely determine and cease (unless the amount payable in respect of the relevant claim has been agreed by the Seller within three months of the |
30
date of such written notice) if legal proceedings have not been instituted in respect of such claim by the due service of process on the Seller within six months of the date of such written notice. For the purpose of this clause 15.3, legal proceedings shall not be deemed to have been instituted unless they shall have been properly issued and validly served upon the Seller. |
15.4 | Save in the case of fraud or fraudulent concealment or in the case of claims related to Stock which are indemnified on a pound per pound basis, the Seller shall be under no liability in respect of any claim under the Warranties: |
15.4.1 | where the liability of the Seller in respect of that claim would (but for this paragraph) have been less than £25,000 (a de minimis claim) |
15.4.2 | unless and until and only to the extent that the liability in respect of a de minimis claim (not being a claim for which liability is excluded under clause 15.4.1 above) when aggregated with the liability of the Seller in respect of all other de minimis claims shall exceed £100,000. |
15.5 | Save in the case of fraud or fraudulent concealment, the aggregate liability of the Seller in respect of all claims under the Warranties other than for Stock shall not in any circumstances exceed the sum of two million five hundred and seventy five thousand pounds (£2,575,000); and as a separate cap on any claims relating to Warranties for the Stock, the aggregate liability of the Seller shall not exceed the Stock Valuation but only to the extent that the Seller has received payment for the Stock Valuation. |
15.6 | The Seller shall be under no liability in respect of any claim under the Warranties to the extent that the facts or circumstances giving rise thereto are disclosed in the Disclosure Letter or the Data Room. |
15.7 | No liability (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) shall attach to the Seller in respect of any claim under the Warranties to the extent that: |
15.7.1 | the claim or the events giving rise to the claim would not have arisen but for an act or omission of the Buyer following execution of this Agreement where the Buyer knew or ought reasonably to have known that such act or omission may give rise to any such claim; |
15.7.2 | the claim is based upon a liability which is contingent only, unless and until such contingent liability becomes an actual liability or until the same is finally adjudicated; |
31
15.7.3 | allowance, provision or reserve in respect of the matter giving rise to the claim shall have been made in the Accounts; |
15.7.4 | the claim occurs wholly or partly out of or the amount thereof is increased as a result of: |
15.7.4.1 | any change in the accounting principles or practices of the Buyers Group introduced or having effect after the Completion Date unless the same is introduced to bring the accounting principles and practices into line with generally accepted accounting principles and practices in the UK in relation to a business of the type carried on by the Business; or |
15.7.4.2 | any increase in the rates of Taxation made after the date hereof; or |
15.7.4.3 | any change in law or regulation or in its interpretation or administration by the courts of Northern Ireland, by the Inland Revenue or by any other fiscal, monetary or regulatory authority (whether or not having the force of law); or |
15.7.5 | the loss or damage giving rise to the claim is recoverable by the Buyers Group under any policy of insurance maintained by either the Seller or the Buyer or would have been so recoverable but for any change in the terms of Stock insurance as a result of the Buyers operation of the Business since the date of this Agreement; and provided that the Seller shall remain liable for any amount not so recovered under the policy of insurance and shall indemnify and keep indemnified the Buyer in relation to any excess on such policy and any direct or consequential increase in insurance premiums payable by the Buyer as a direct result of any such recovery, or |
15.7.6 | the claim relates to a claim or liability for Taxation and would not have arisen but for the Buyers winding-up or cessation after Completion of the Business or part of it. |
15.8 | In assessing any liabilities, damages or other amounts recoverable by the Buyer from the Seller as a result of any claim under the Warranties, there shall be taken into account any amount of any tax relief obtained by the Buyers Group and any amount by which any Taxation for which the Buyers Group is or may be liable to be assessed or accountable is reduced or extinguished, in each case when the relief or tax benefit arises directly or indirectly and solely in consequence of the matter which gives rise to such claim. |

The Buyers Guarantee
1. | GUARANTEE |
The Buyers Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally:
1.1 | guarantees to the Seller as principal obligor the due and punctual performance and observance by the Buyer of all of its obligations under this Agreement; and |
1.2 | undertakes to indemnify the Seller against all losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred by the Seller arising from any failure by the Buyer to perform and/or observe any of its obligations under this Agreement, provided the Buyer shall not be liable to pay any such losses, damages, costs or expenses to the extent that such losses, damages, costs or expenses arise from or have increased due to any actions taken or omissions made by the Seller or any member of the Sellers Group, |
(together this Buyers Guarantee).
2. | CONTINUING SECURITY |
This Buyers Guarantee is to be a continuing security which shall remain in full force and effect until all of the obligations of the Buyer under this Agreement shall have been fulfilled or shall have expired in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and this Buyers Guarantee is to be in addition, and without prejudice to, and shall not merge with, any other right, remedy, guarantee, indemnity or security which the Seller may now or hereafter hold in respect of all or any of the obligations of the Buyer under this Agreement.
3. | BUYERS PROTECTIONS |
The liability of the Buyers Guarantor under this Buyers Guarantee shall not be affected, impaired or discharged by reason of any act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this provision, might operate to release or otherwise exonerate the Buyers Guarantor from its obligations hereunder including, without limitation:
3.1 | any amendment, variation or modification to, or replacement of this Agreement in accordance with Clause 23 of this Agreement unless such amendment would result in increasing the liability of the Buyers Guarantor and has not been acquiesced in and executed by the Buyers Guarantor; and |
3.2 | the taking, variation, compromise, renewal, release, refusal or neglect to perfect or enforce any rights, remedies or securities against the Buyer or any other person; |
3.3 | any time or indulgence or waiver given to, or composition made with, the Buyer or any other person; or |
84
3.4 | the Buyer becoming insolvent, going into receivership or liquidation or having an administrator appointed. |
4. | FURTHER PROTECTION |
This Buyers Guarantee shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding:
4.1 | that any purported obligation of the Buyer or any other person to the Seller (or any security therefor) becomes wholly or partly void, invalid or unenforceable for any reason whether or not known to the Seller or the Buyers Guarantor; or |
4.2 | any incapacity or any change in the constitution of, or any amalgamation or reconstruction of, the Buyers Guarantor or the Buyer or any other matter whatsoever. |
5. | PRIMARY OBLIGATIONS |
