	 	8.10.1.1	to the extent that any Claim shall have been settled but the amount due shall not have been paid to the Purchaser prior to the Relevant Payment Date, the Purchaser shall be entitled
to deduct and retain from the Relevant Payment the settled amount of such Claim and treat its obligation to make the Relevant Payment as being reduced, pro tanto, by the settled amount of such Claim (in which event the Vendor’s obligation in
respect of such Claim shall be reduced by the amount of such deduction); 

  

	 	8.10.1.2	to the extent that such Claim has not been settled or withdrawn then, provided the condition in Clause 8.10.2 is satisfied and subject to Clause 8.10.5, the Purchaser shall be
entitled to reduce the Relevant Payment by an amount equal to the Barrister’s Estimate (in accordance with Clause 8.10.2 and subject to Clause 8.10.5) of the likely amount of the Purchaser’s recovery in respect of such Claim (the
“Set Off Amount”) PROVIDED ALWAYS that the Purchaser and the Vendor shall jointly instruct the Purchaser’s Solicitors and the Vendor’s Solicitors to open the Escrow Account (if not already established) and the Purchaser

respectively instruct the Purchaser’s Solicitors and the Vendor’s Solicitors to release from the Escrow Account an amount equal to the Set Off Amount in respect of the settled or withdrawn Claim (the “Released Set Off
Amount”), of which: 

  

	 	(a)	an amount equal to (i) the Set Off Amount less (ii) a sum equal to the amount (if any) for which such Claim shall have been settled plus (iii) interest calculated at
the rate applicable to the Escrow Account on the amount of (i) less (ii), shall be paid to the Vendor; and 

  

	 	(b)	 the balance of the Set Off Amount plus interest on such balance shall be paid to the Purchaser, 











	 	 
and the Purchaser shall be entitled to treat the obligation to make the Relevant Payment as reduced pro tanto by such amount for which the Claim has been
settled and the Vendor’s obligation in respect of such Claim shall have been discharged up to the amount of such reduction. 


  

	8.10.2	The condition referred to in Clause 8.10.1.2 is that any Claim falling within such Clause shall have been referred by the Purchaser to a barrister of at least ten years’
standing (well versed in the law relating to the Claim) selected by the Purchaser and the Vendor (or, in default of such agreement within 10 Business Days of the Purchaser giving notice to the Vendor, on the application of either of the Purchaser or
the Vendor to the President for the time being of The Law Society of England and Wales), that such barrister shall be instructed to report back his advice within 15 Business Days and that such barrister (acting independently) shall have advised on
the basis of the evidence presented to him and on the assumption that no further evidence shall be produced that: (i) the Claim in his opinion has a reasonable prospect of success and (ii) the amount claimed is a reasonable estimate of the
amount which the Purchaser is likely to recover in respect of such Claim, or if not, his opinion of such likely amount (the “Barrister’s Estimate”); 

  

	8.10.3	For the purposes of Clause 8.10.2 the Purchaser and the Vendor shall provide the barrister instructed with access to or copies of all documentation or information reasonably
required by him and the parties shall at all times co-operate with him to enable him to properly assess the Claim. Each of the Purchaser and Vendor shall have an adequate opportunity to comment upon or rebut anything submitted to the barrister by
the other. The costs of such barrister shall be borne by the Purchaser although, if the Claim when settled results in the Purchaser being entitled under Clause 8.10.1.3 to some or all of the Set Off Amount, the Vendor shall reimburse the Purchaser
for a proportion of the amount of such costs incurred under Clause 8.10.2 which is equal to the proportion which the Set Off Amount to which the Purchaser is entitled bears to the total amount of the Set Off Amount and the Purchaser and the Vendor
agree that an amount equal to such costs shall be deducted from the amount referred to in Clause 8.10.1.3(a); 

  

	8.10.4	A Claim shall be regarded as settled or withdrawn for the purposes of Clauses 8.10 and 11.10 if and to the extent that either: 

  

	 	8.10.4.1	the Vendor and the Purchaser expressly agree so in writing; 

  

	 	8.10.4.2	a court has awarded judgment in respect of a Claim in respect of which no right of appeal exists; or 

  

	 	8.10.4.3	the Claim has been withdrawn by the Purchaser or has otherwise been struck out, discontinued or dismissed with no order for costs or other monetary award in favour of the Purchaser
(in which case the Claim shall, for the purpose of Clause 8.10.1.3 be treated as having been settled for no sum and, subject to Clause 8.10.1, all of the Set Off Amount and the interest thereon shall be payable from the Escrow Account to the Vendor
in accordance with Clause 8.10.1.3(a)); 

  

	8.10.5	 If a Barrister’s Estimate is required to be given in relation to any Relevant Earnout Amount and such Barrister’s Estimate has not been given by the date
which would otherwise be the Relevant Payment Date, the Relevant Payment (subject to the rights of 











	 	 
set off under this Clause 8.10) shall be deferred to the third Business Day following receipt of such Barrister’s Estimate.



 PROVIDED ALWAYS THAT nothing in this Clause 8.10 shall prevent or prejudice the Purchaser from making any claim in
respect of the full amount of the Claim in the event that the amount of Claim exceeds the amount of the Relevant Payment outstanding at the date on which a Claim is notified to the Vendor and that for the purposes of this Clause 8.10 proceedings
shall not be treated as having been commenced by the Purchaser unless they shall have been issued and served on the Vendor; and the provisions of this Clause 8.10 shall not be regarded as imposing any limit to the amount of any claims under this
Agreement or date by which such claims shall be made. 
  

	9	Determination of Relevant Earnout Amount 

  

	9.1	In relation to each Relevant Earnout Amount, the Purchaser shall deliver, or procure that the Target Group delivers, to the Vendor and the Vendor’s Accountants (in accordance

	9.3	Unless the Vendor serves written notice (a “Dispute Notice”), specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the potential dispute and so far as practicable the
amount in dispute, on the Purchaser disputing a Relevant Determination prior to the day which falls 30 days after receipt of such Relevant Determination, the amount or amounts stated in such Relevant Determination shall be final and binding upon the
Vendor and the Purchaser for the purposes of this Agreement. Any such Dispute Notice must state the amounts in dispute and the reasons therefor. 

  

	9.4	 In the event of service of a Dispute Notice in relation to any Relevant Determination produced in accordance with Clause 9.2 then the Vendor and the Purchaser shall

Accountants and the Purchaser’s Accountants at the respective party’s expense) to agree any such amount in dispute as soon as reasonably
practicable. 


  

	9.5	In the event that the Vendor and the Purchaser are unable to agree as to any such amount in dispute within 30 days of the date of service of the Dispute Notice (“the

	9.6	The fees of any such independent firm of accountants appointed pursuant to Clause 9.5 shall be paid by the Vendor and/or the Purchaser in the proportions determined by such firm
(or, in default of any such determination as to fees, as to half by the Vendor and half by the Purchaser). Any firm appointed pursuant to Clause 9.5 shall act as experts and not as arbitrators and their determination shall be final and binding on
the Vendor and the Purchaser. 

  

	9.7	Each of the Vendor and the Purchaser shall procure that the other, the Vendor’s Accountants, the Purchaser’s Accountants and any firm of independent accountants appointed
pursuant to Clause 9.5 is given all such assistance and access to all such information in the relevant Party’s possession or control as such person may reasonably require in order to assess and/or determine the Relevant Earnout Amount.
