9










 







	
  

	
6.2

	
The Warrantor hereby acknowledges that the Purchaser is entering into this Agreement in reliance upon the Warranties.













	
  

	
6.3

	
Each of the Warranties shall be construed as a separate and independent Warranty and shall not be governed, limited or restricted by reference to any other term of this Agreement or any other Warranty (other than where expressly provided to the contrary).













	
  

	
6.4

	
The Warrantor hereby further undertakes that, subject to the limitations contained in Clause 7, if it be found that, any matter the subject of Warranty hereunder is not at the Completion Date as warranted, then, if the effect thereof is:-













	
  

	
6.4.1

	
that the amount or value of any asset of the Company is or becomes less than the amount or value would have been had there been no breach of Warranty; or













	
  

	
6.4.2

	
that the Company incurred or incurs any liability or such liability becomes greater than it would have been had the Warranty been correct:


 


then the Warrantor will make good the diminution in the amount or value of such asset or all loss occasioned by such liability on a full indemnity basis by payment in cash on reasonable demand to the Purchaser.







 



	
  

	
6.5

	
Neither the Warranties nor any other right or remedy of the Purchaser under this Agreement or the Tax Undertaking shall in any respect be extinguished or affected by Completion.

Reference to any matter being Disclosed shall be deemed to include a reference to it being fairly and accurately disclosed in the Disclosure Letter in such a manner that:-







­



	
  

	
6.6.1

	
in the context of the disclosures contained in the Disclosure Letter, the significance of the information disclosed and its relevance to a particular Warranty ought reasonably to be appreciated by the Purchaser and there is not omitted from the information disclosed any information which would have the effect of rendering the information so disclosed misleading in any material respect; and











  





10











  












	
  

	
6.6.2

	
in the context of any document treated as Disclosed, the matter disclosed is reasonably apparent from the terms of the document:


 


and nothing Disclosed by the Vendors to the Purchaser other than in the Disclosure Letter and in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 6.6 shall constitute disclosure for the purpose of this Agreement.







 



	
  

	
6.7

	
Without prejudice to any other remedy which may be available to the Purchaser, the Warrantor further undertakes to the Purchaser to indemnify and keep indemnified the Purchaser against all reasonable costs, damages or expenses suffered or incurred by the Purchaser or the Company as a result of or in connection with any breach or non fulfilment of any of the Warranties or the failure to pay debts which have arisen in the period prior to the Completion Date in making or defending a claim in relation to facts or circumstances which constitute a breach.













	
  

	
6.8

	
Where the same circumstances could give rise to a claim for both breach of Warranty and under the Tax Undertaking then, subject to Clause 7.8 of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall be entitled to claim in respect of either or both; however, in calculating any sums which may be determined as payable in respect of breach of Warranty, account shall be taken of all sums paid by the Vendors under the Tax Undertaking and vice versa.













	
  

	
6.9

	
Any payment by the Warrantor in respect of any claim under this Agreement (including, without limitation, under the Tax Undertaking) shall be treated as reducing pro tanto the Consideration.

The Purchaser shall not be entitled to make any Claim whatsoever if the matter is Disclosed.







 




  





11

The Warrantor shall be under no liability whatsoever in respect of any Claim unless the Purchaser has served on him a written notice:­-













	
  

	
7.2.1

	
(in respect of the Warranties other than the Tax Warranties) within eighteen months of the Completion Date; and













	
  

	
7.2.2

	
(in respect of the Tax Warranties) on or before the seventh anniversary of the Completion Date;


 


giving in each case as full details as are reasonably practicable of the claim, including the Purchaser's estimate of the amount of any liability of the Warrantor in respect thereof, based on the information then available to the Purchaser.







 



	
  

	
7.3

	
For the avoidance of doubt, the Warrantor shall have no liability in respect of a Claim if and to the extent that such Claim is based upon a contingent liability unless and until such liability becomes an actual liability and provided this occurs prior to the expiry of the relevant time limited applicable to such Claim as set out in Clause 7.2.













	
  

	
7.4

	
The maximum aggregate liability of the Warrantor under this Agreement and the Tax Undertaking shall not exceed the Consideration.













	
  

	
7.5

	
The Warrantor shall have no liability in respect of any Claim unless and until the aggregate liability for such Claim exceeds £1,000 but in any such event the Warrantor shall be liable for the whole amount and not merely the excess over £1,000.








	
  

	 






	
  

	
7.6

	
The liability of the Warrantor in respect of any Claim shall be reduced to the extent that specific provision or reserve has been made in respect of the matter to which such liability relates in the Accounts.













	
  

	
7.7

	
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no limitations of any kind whatsoever (including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, limitations on making claims within particular time periods or limiting claims or aggregates of claims to any particular sums of money) shall apply to any claim made hereunder against the Warrantor when it can be proved that such claim is based on any dishonest or fraudulent act or dishonest or fraudulent omission or fraudulent misrepresentation of or by the Warrantor prior to Completion.











  





12










 










	
  

	
7.8

	
The Purchaser shall not be entitled to recover damages, or obtain payment, reimbursement, restitution or indemnity in respect of any Claim to the extent that damages, payment, reimbursement, restitution or indemnity have previously been recovered from the Warrantor pursuant to any other Claim in respect of the same loss.


 








	
  

	
7.9

	
The Purchaser shall take all reasonable steps to avoid or mitigate any loss or liability which may give rise to a Claim.













	
  

	
7.10

	
In the event that the Purchaser or the Company is at any time entitled to recover or otherwise claim reimbursement from a third party in respect of any matter or circumstance giving rise to a Claim then the following provisions shall apply:













	
  

	
7.10.1

	
the Purchaser shall (or shall procure that the Company shall) take all necessary steps to enforce such recovery or seek such reimbursement from the relevant third party and shall do so before making a Claim against the Warrantor.













	
  

	
7.10.2

	
the liability of the Warrantor in respect of the related Claim shall be reduced by the amount (if any) actually recovered from the relevant third party (less all reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Purchaser or the Company in recovering that sum), or extinguished if the amount recovered exceeds the amount of the relevant Claim; and













	
  

	
7.10.3

	
if the Warrantor makes a payment to the Purchaser in respect of a Claim and the Purchaser or the Company subsequently recovers from a third party a sum which is referable to that Claim, the Purchaser shall promptly repay the Warrantor the lower of:


 








	
  

	
(i)

	
the amount recovered from such third party (less all reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Purchaser or the Company in recovering that sum); and


 








	
  

	
(ii)

	
the amount paid to the Purchaser by the Warrantor in respect of the relevant Claim.













	
  

	
7.11

	
The Warrantor shall not be liable in respect of any Claim to the extent that the liability pursuant to such Claim arises or is increased as a result of a change in any law, legislation, rule or regulation that comes into force or other takes effect after the Completion Date.











  





13










 










	
  

	
7.12

	
The Warrantor shall not be liable in respect of any Claim to the extent that the matter or circumstance giving rise to such Claim arises, occurs or is otherwise attributable to or the Warrantor’s liability pursuant to such Claim is increased as a result of:













	
  

	
7.12.1

	
any voluntary act, omission, transaction, or arrangement of the Purchaser or the Company (or their respective directors, employees or agents) on or after the Completion Date; or

7.14

	
The provisions of this Clause 7.14 shall apply in the event that any claim is made or threatened by any third party against the Purchaser or the Company which may reasonably be considered likely to give rise to a Claim (“Third Party Claim”). In the event of a Third Party Claim, the Purchaser shall:













	
  

	
7.14.1

	
as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within 5 Business Days from the date upon which the Purchaser becomes aware of the Third Party Claim, give written notice of the Third Party Claim to the Warrantor, specifying, in reasonable detail, the nature of the Third Party Claim; and

7.14.3

	
give the Warrantor and his professional advisers access at reasonable times (and on reasonable prior notice) to its premises and personnel, and to any relevant assets, accounts, documents or records within its control, for the purposes of enabling the Warrantor and his advisers to assess the Third Party Claim, and enable the Warrantor to exercise all his rights under Clause 7.15.











  





14










 




 



	
  

	
7.15

	
The Warrantor shall indemnify the Purchaser in respect of all costs, charges and expenses that are reasonably and properly incurred by the Purchaser as a consequence of any actions taken at the request of the Warrantor accordance with Clause 7.14. Subject to Mr Spence providing such indemnity, the Purchaser shall:













	
  

	
7.15.1

	
take such action as the Warrantor may reasonably request in writing to avoid, dispute, resist, mitigate, compromise or defend a Third Party Claim and to appeal against any judgment given in respect of it:













	
  

	
7.15.2

	
not agree any compromise or settlement, or make any admission of liability or payment in relation to a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Warrantor (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and













	
  

	
7.15.3

	
if required by the Warrantor in writing, delegate the conduct of any legal proceedings in respect of a Third Party Claim to Mr Spence. For this purpose, the Purchaser shall retain such firm of solicitors as is selected by the Warrantor to proceed on behalf of the Purchaser or the Company (as the case may be) in relation to such proceedings in accordance with the instructions of the Warrantor, and the Purchaser shall give such information and assistance as the Warrantor or the appointed solicitors may reasonably require in connection with the conduct of such proceedings.













	
  

	
7.16

	
The Warrantor shall have no liability in respect of a Claim to the extent that the liability pursuant to the Claim arises or is increased as a result of the failure by the Purchaser to act in accordance with any reasonable request or direction given by the Warrantor in accordance with Clause 7.15.
