10.1 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Deed:

(a)  the Indemnifier shall not be liable for any liability in respect of a claim
     or a series of claims under Clause 3 (each a Relevant Claim) unless the

11.  Over-provisions and tax savings

Notwithstanding Clause 4 above, if after the Indemnifier having made a payment
pursuant to Clause 3:

     be or have been (at the Indemnifier's request and expense) certified by the
     auditors of the Company for the time being to be an over-provision; or

(b)  the liability in respect of tax which has resulted in such payment by the
     Indemnifier shall give rise to a corresponding saving for the Company or
     the relevant Group Company,

the full value (as certified by the auditors of the Company for the time being
who shall take into account timing differences in calculating such value) of
such over-provision, unless it is solely attributable to the effect of a
reduction in tax rates on deferred tax, or corresponding saving shall be set off
first against the payment then due from the Indemnifier under this Deed and
secondly (to the extent there is any excess) against any further such payment(s)
in chronological order and if there is any further surplus thereafter the same
shall be paid forthwith without delay to the Indemnifier, at the costs and
expenses of the Indemnifier.

(b)  repay to the Indemnifier a sum corresponding to the amount of the Refund
     (including any interest paid by the taxing or competent authority or other
     person on or in respect thereof) less any expenses, costs and charges
     properly and reasonably incurred by the Company or any of the Group
     Companies in recovering the Refund.

13.  Default of payment

The parties hereto agree that in the event that any payment is required or due
to be made hereunder by the Indemnifier and is not made within 14 days following
such payment falling due then thereafter the Company or any of the Group
Companies shall be entitled in respect of all and any dividends payable
thereafter to any of the Indemnifier to set the same aside and place them in a
separate account in trust for the benefit of one or more of the Company and the
Group Companies to whom the relevant payment under this Deed is due. Any sums
transferred to such account shall thereafter be paid to the Company or the any
of Group Companies (as the case may be) as is due under this Deed unless such
payment under this Deed is the subject of a bona fide dispute with the relevant

then disbursed according to the manner in which such dispute is resolved.
