(as the case may be) stamp duty land tax. If the Seller so requests, the Buyer will use all reasonable endeavours to assist the Seller to minimise the stamp duty or stamp duty land tax due on the grant of the Option. For the avoidance of doubt, all

Buyer to minimise the stamp duty or stamp duty land tax due on exercise of the Option.

Seller neither suffers a balancing charge nor obtains a balancing allowance in respect of the disposal; and (c) to other assets - such amount as the Seller proposes and that ensures the Seller neither makes taxable revenue profit nor incurs an
allowable revenue loss in respect of the disposal. The Seller shall ensure any election as referred to in Clause 30.2 or apportionment under Clause 7.2 or 8.2 shall be consistent with this Clause 30.3. The Seller will deliver a draft allocation of
consideration for the Business and Station Assets to the Buyer and give the Buyer a reasonable opportunity to review it before delivering a final allocation. The Buyer may make representations to the Seller as to the draft allocation of the
consideration and the Seller shall adjust the allocation as required by the Buyer before producing a final allocation provided that such

Parties) receives and retains a net sum equal to the sum it would have received had the payment not been subject to Tax.
