			(b)as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within fifteen Business Days, after making any deduction, withholding or payment to a Tax Authority as mentioned in clause 23.5(a), deliver to the Parent documentary evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Parent that, as applicable in each case, the deduction or withholding has been made or the required payment has been made to the relevant Tax Authority.

		or undertaking given by the Purchaser under this agreement is received, by the Parent as principal and in addition, to the extent that the relevant covenant, obligation, warranty or undertaking relates to a particular Target Company, as agent for the relevant Seller which is selling that particular Target Company.
		

		
			24.2To the extent that any payment is made by the Purchaser under this agreement in respect of the Consideration for all or any part of the Shares or the Shareholder Loans under this agreement or by way of adjustment to such Consideration (including the proportion of any price allocated to particular Shares or Shareholder Loans), such payment is received by the Parent as agent for the relevant Seller selling the relevant Shares or Shareholder Loans under this agreement (unless the Parent is itself the relevant Seller, in which case it is received by the Parent as principal). 
		

		
			24.3To the extent that any payment is made by the Parent under this agreement by way of adjustment to the Consideration for all or any part of the Shares or the Shareholder Loans under this agreement (including the proportion of any price allocated to particular Shares or Shareholder Loans), such payment is made by the Parent as agent for the relevant Seller selling the relevant Shares or Shareholder Loans under this agreement (unless the Parent is itself the relevant Seller, in which case it is made by the Parent as principal).
		

		
			24.4For the purposes of this clause 24, a covenant, obligation, warranty or undertaking relates to a particular Target Company if the relevant provision relates to or applies in respect of that Target Company regardless of whether or not the relevant provision refers to it by name or applies in respect of more than one Target Company. 
		

		
			24.5If the Purchaser wishes to make a claim under this agreement against the Parent or a Seller, the Purchaser shall procure that any such claim shall only be made by the Purchaser against the Parent.

			24.7For the purposes of this clause 24, whichever of the Parent or the Purchaser is bringing a claim (whether as agent or otherwise) in accordance with clause 24.5 or clause 24.6, as the case may be, is termed the Claimant Party and the other of them is termed the Defendant Party. The parties agree that: 
		

		
			(a)the Defendant Party shall not raise any defence or objection to any such claim on the basis that it is made in the name of the Claimant Party acting as agent and/or made against the Defendant Party acting as agent pursuant to the provisions of this clause 24 and shall be deemed to have waived the right to raise and to be estopped from raising any such defence or objection;
		

		
			(b)where a claim cannot, as a matter of law, be made by the Claimant Party in its own name as agent pursuant to this clause 24, any such claim may and shall be assigned to the Claimant Party (provided that the liability of the person claimed against shall be no greater and no less than such liability would have been if the assignment had not occurred); and
		

		
			(c)where a claim is made by the Claimant Party against the Defendant Party and the claim results in a payment being required to be made to the Claimant Party, the payment shall be made by the Defendant Party (as principal and/or, if applicable, as agent) to the Claimant Party (as principal and/or, if applicable, as agent).

			(b)the Purchaser shall procure that each relevant member of the Target Group makes available to the Parent such persons and all such information as the Parent may request for assessing, contesting, disputing, defending, appealing or compromising the Third Party Claim;
		

		
			(c)the Purchaser shall procure that each relevant member of the Target Group: (i) takes such action to assess, contest, dispute, defend, appeal or compromise the Third Party Claim as the Parent may request and does not make any admission of liability, agreement, settlement or compromise in relation to the Third Party Claim without the prior written approval of the Parent; 
		

		
			(d)the Parent shall keep the Purchaser informed of the progress of the Third Party Claim and provide the Purchaser with copies of all relevant documents and such other information in its possession as may be requested by the Purchaser (acting reasonably); and
		

		
			(e)the Purchaser shall be permitted at its own cost to participate in (but not control) such Third Party Claim, and to employ separate counsel in connection with such participation not reasonably objected to by the Parent. 
		

		
			7.2If a claim (other than a Tax Warranty Claim) arises as a result of, or in connection with, a Third Party Claim, the Purchaser shall, until the earlier of such time as the Parent shall give any notice as contemplated by subparagraph 7.1 and such time as any final compromise, agreement, expert determination or non-appealable decision of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction is made in respect of such Third Party Claim or such Third Party Claim is otherwise finally disposed of:
		

		
			(a)procure that each relevant member of the Target Group consults with the Parent, and takes account of the reasonable requirements of the Parent, in relation to the conduct of any dispute, defence, compromise or appeal of the Third Party Claim;
		

		 


			

					

						 


				
	

					

						 


					

					

						70


					

					

						 


				




		

			 

		




 


			

					

						 


				




		

			 

		




		
			(b)keep, or procure that each relevant member of the Target Group keeps, the Parent promptly informed of the progress of the Third Party Claim and provide, or procure that each relevant member of the Target Group provides, the Parent with copies of all relevant documents and such other information in the Purchaser’s or a member of the Target Group's possession as may be requested by the Parent; and
		

		
			(c)procure that no relevant member of the Target Group shall cease to defend the Third Party Claim or make any admission of liability, agreement or compromise in relation to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Parent.
		

		
			7.3Nothing in this paragraph 7 shall require the provision by any person of any information to the extent such provision would contravene any applicable Law or would breach any duty of confidentiality owed to any third party.  If any information is provided by any person (the Provider) to any other person (the Recipient) pursuant to this paragraph 7:
		

		
			(a)that information shall only be used by the Recipient in connection with the Third Party Claim and clause 19 of this agreement shall in all other respects apply to that information; and
		

		
			(b)to the extent that information is privileged:
		

		
			(i)no privilege shall be waived by reason of or as a result of its being provided to the Recipient; and
		

		
			(ii)if a third party requests disclosure by the Recipient in relation to that information, if the Recipient is the Parent or the Purchaser, the Recipient shall or, if the Recipient is a member of the Target Group, the Purchaser shall procure that the Recipient shall, promptly notify the Provider and, to the extent it can do so, itself assert privilege in opposition to that disclosure request.
		

		
			7.4The provisions of clause 9 (Conduct of Tax Claims) of the Tax Deed shall have effect as if expressly incorporated into this paragraph 7, so that those provisions shall apply to a Tax Warranty Claim.
		

		
			8.Mitigation
		

		
			8.1Nothing in this agreement shall be deemed to relieve the Purchaser from any common law duty to mitigate any loss or damage incurred by it as a result of any of the Warranties being untrue or inaccurate.  
		

		
			8.2In the case of a Tax Warranty Claim, the Purchaser shall be obliged to utilise all Seller’s Reliefs (as that term is defined in the Tax Deed) to mitigate any Tax liability and clause 9 (Conduct of Tax Claims) of the Tax Deed shall apply as if it were set out in this schedule mutatis mutandis.
		

		
			9.Recovery from third parties
		

		
			If:
		

		
			(a)the Parent makes a payment in respect of a claim (the Damages Payment);
		

		
			(b)at any time after the making of such payment any member of the Target Group or the Purchaser receives any sum which would not have been received but for the matter or circumstance giving rise to that claim (the Third Party Sum);
		

		
			(c)the receipt of the Third Party Sum was not taken into account in calculating the Damages Payment; and
		

		 


			

					

						 


				
	

					

						 


					

					

						71


					

					

						 


				




		

			 

		




 


			

					

						 


				




		

			 

		




		
			(d)the aggregate of the Third Party Sum and the Damages Payment exceeds the amount required to compensate the Purchaser in full for the loss or liability which gave rise to the claim in question (such excess being the Excess Recovery),
		

		
			the Purchaser shall, promptly following receipt of the Third Party Sum by it or the relevant member of the Target Group, repay to the Parent an amount equal to the lower of (i) the Excess Recovery and (ii) the Damages Payment, after deducting (in either case) all reasonable costs incurred by the Purchaser or the relevant member of the Target Group in recovering the Third Party Sum.
		

		
			10.Insurance
		

		
			Without prejudice to the Purchaser's duty to mitigate any loss in respect of any of the Warranties being untrue or inaccurate, if in respect of any matter which would otherwise give rise to a claim under this agreement or the Tax Deed, any member of the Target Group is entitled to claim under any policy of insurance that has, as of the Completion Date, already been paid for by the Target Group and is in effect as of immediately prior to Completion: (i) the Purchaser shall procure that the Target Group undertakes commercially reasonable efforts to recover under such insurance; and (ii) any amounts actually recovered by the Target Group under such insurance, net of (A) the costs and expenses of recovery therefrom, (B) Taxes payable with respect to such amounts and (C) the amounts of any retro and future premium increase, shall reduce pro tanto or extinguish that claim.
		

		
			11.Contingent liabilities
		

		
			If any Warranty Claim is based upon a liability which is contingent only, the Parent shall have no obligation to make a payment in respect thereof unless (and until) such contingent liability gives rise to an obligation to make a payment before:
		

		
			(a)on the expiry of the applicable statute of limitations in respect of a Tax Warranty Claim;
		

		
			(b)the third anniversary of the date of this agreement in respect of a Fundamental Warranty Claim;
		

		
			(c)the fifth anniversary of the Completion Date in respect of a Warranty Claim pursuant to paragraph 1.26 of Schedule 5; and
		

		
			(d)the date which is 18 months after the Completion Date in respect of all other Warranties.
		

		
			12.Waiver of set off rights
		

		
			The Purchaser waives any and all rights of set off, counterclaim, deduction or retention against or in respect of any of its payment obligations under this agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents which it might otherwise have by virtue of any claim under this agreement or the Tax Deed.
		

		
			13.Remedy of breaches
		

		
			If the matter or circumstance giving rise to a Warranty Claim is capable of remedy, the Parent shall have no liability in respect of that Warranty Claim unless the relevant matter or circumstance is not remedied within 30 days after the date on which the Parent is given notice as contemplated by paragraph 1 of this Schedule 6 in relation to that matter or circumstance.  The Purchaser shall procure that the Parent is given the opportunity in that 30 day period to remedy the relevant matter or circumstance and shall, without prejudice to paragraph 8 of this Schedule 6, provide, and shall procure that each relevant member of the Target Group shall provide, all reasonable assistance to the Parent to remedy the relevant matter or circumstance.

			14.On sales
		

		
			The Parent shall have no liability in respect of any Warranty Claim arising out of a matter or circumstance affecting any member of the Target Group if the notice given under paragraph 1 of this Schedule 6 in relation to the relevant matter or circumstance is given at a time when the member of the Target Group concerned has ceased to be a subsidiary of the Purchaser.
		

		
			15.Consequential loss
		

		
			The Parent shall have no liability under this agreement or any other Transaction Document for any loss of business or profits, or in connection with any indirect or consequential loss or any punitive or aggravated damages (together, Consequential Loss), arising out of any matter or circumstance giving rise to a claim except to the extent that:
		

		
			(a)a third party has, pursuant to a contract with the Target Group or applicable Law, the right to bring a claim for Consequential Loss against the Target Group and such Third Party brings such a claim against the Target Group; and
		

		
			(b)in connection with such claim by such third party, the Purchaser has a claim against the Parent for breach of any of the Warranties set out at paragraph 1.26 of Schedule 5,
		

		
			and, in such circumstances, the Parent shall have no liability for any Consequential Loss suffered by the Purchaser or its Affiliates and shall only be liable (if such claim is successfully proven and subject to the other limitations set out in this Schedule 6) for any Consequential Loss suffered by the third party.

			3.It is the intention of the parties that the employment of each Employee shall not terminate upon Completion, but shall continue with the relevant member of the Target Group on the Employee’s existing terms and conditions that exist immediately before Completion.  For the avoidance of doubt,  without prejudice to paragraph 9 of this Schedule, this paragraph 3 of this Schedule is not intended to, and does not, create any obligation on the Purchaser to retain any Employees in employment, nor to retain their existing terms and conditions of Employment, following Completion. 
		

		
			4.The Parent shall use reasonable endeavours to procure that the Internal Transfer Employees will be employed by the relevant Target Companies (or other relevant member of the Purchaser Group) as at the date of Completion and shall indemnify the Purchaser against any Liability directly arising from the transfer of the Internal Transfer Employees to the relevant members of the Target Group (or relevant member of Purchaser Group, as applicable).

			For the avoidance of doubt, this indemnity excludes any part of any Liability for which the Purchaser or any member of the Purchaser Group are responsible under paragraphs 9 and 10 below.
		

		
			6.The Parent shall use reasonable endeavours to procure that the External Transfer Employees will be employed by a member of the Retained Group as at the date of Completion. 
		

		
			7.If, on or after Completion, any External Transfer Employees remain employed by a member of the Target Group, the Purchaser shall cooperate with the Parent to transfer each such External Transfer Employee from the Target Group to a relevant member of the Retained Group.

			(a)the relevant member of the Target Group shall terminate the relevant External Transfer Employee’s employment with effect on the earliest legally possible termination date; and
		

		
			(b)the Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and any member of the Target Group from and against any and all Liability arising out of such termination or in respect of any External Transfer Employee’s employment following Completion, provided that the Purchaser shall use all reasonable endeavours to minimise the amount of such Liability and the Parent shall not be liable for any loss incurred as a result of such Liability to the extent that such Liability arises or is increased as a result of any act or omission of the Purchaser other than in accordance with this paragraph 7.
		

		
			8.The Parent shall:
		

		
			(a)procure that the members of the Target Group shall perform and discharge all of their obligations in respect of any External Transfer Employees until such time as the relevant External Transfer Employee transfers to a member of the Retained Group; and
		

		 


			

					

						 


				
	

					

						 


					

					

						76


					

					

						 


				




		

			 

		




 


			

					

						 


				




		

			 

		




		
			(b)indemnify the Purchaser against any Liability arising from the failure of the Parent to perform or discharge any such obligations as are set out in paragraph 8(a) above.
		

		
			9.The Purchaser shall:
		

		
			(a)cooperate with the Parent and any Internal Transfer Employers and comply with the Parent’s and any Internal Transfer Employer’s reasonable requests in relation to the transfer of the Internal Transfer Employees from the Internal Transfer Employers to the relevant members of the Target Group (or relevant members of the Purchaser Group);
		

		
			(b)procure that the relevant members of the Target Group shall perform and discharge all of their obligations in respect of the Employees on and from Completion; and 
		

		
			(c)indemnify the Parent against any Liability arising from the failure of any member of the Target Group to perform or discharge any such obligations on and from Completion, including, without limitation, failure arising from any act or omission of the relevant member of the Target Group.  
		

		
			10.The Purchaser shall indemnify the Parent against any Liability relating to an Employee which arises out of a complaint or failure or alleged failure to comply with the Employment Obligations or in respect of any subsequent award of compensation in respect of a breach or alleged breach of the Employment Obligations where that complaint or failure to act arises out of or is in connection with an act or omission of any member of the Purchaser Group.

			Part 3
		

		
			Specific policies to be used in preparing the Completion Statement
		

		
			Specific accounting policies – general principles
		

		
			1.The Completion Statement shall be prepared by reference to the aggregate of the general ledgers of the members of the Target Group drawn up as at the Effective Time and in accordance with those specific procedures that would normally be adopted at a financial year-end, which include but are not limited to a detailed analysis of prepayments and accruals and appropriate cut-off procedures. A full reconciliation shall be performed of intragroup amounts between members of the Target Group and any unreconciled intragroup balances shall be written off. 
		

		
			2.The Completion Statement shall only take into account information and events after the Effective Time that provide further evidence of conditions that existed at the Effective Time up until the time the Parent delivers the draft Completion Statement to the Purchaser (the Cut-Off Time).
		

		
			3.No item shall be included in the Completion Statement more than once and no item shall be excluded from the Completion Statement solely on the grounds of immateriality.
		

		
			4.The Completion Statement shall be prepared on the basis that the Target Group is a going concern and, except as required elsewhere in this Part 3 of Schedule 9, shall exclude any effects of the change of control or any change in management strategy, direction or priority which results from the change of ownership.
		

		
			5.No assets classified as current assets in the Accounts shall be reclassified as intangible or non-current or fixed assets in the Completion Statement, except as required elsewhere in this Schedule 9.  
		

		
			6.The Completion Statement shall be expressed in GBP. Amounts in currencies other than GBP shall be translated into GBP at the TT Group 2017 budget FX rates.
		

		
			Specific accounting policies – specific principles
		

		
			7.The Completion Statement shall include amounts for trade receivables (including applicable Tax) in respect of amounts invoiced to customers for all goods or services supplied, shipped or dispatched to customers on or before the Effective Time that remain unpaid at the Effective Time. To the extent that customers have not been invoiced on or before the Effective Time in respect of goods or services supplied, shipped or dispatched to customers on or before the Effective Time, an amount of accrued income and matching receivable shall be included in the Completion Statement in respect of the sales value of such goods or services to be invoiced by the Target Group after the Effective Time.
		

		
			(a)To the extent that cash has not been received by the Cut-Off Time in respect of trade receivables, subject to sub-paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) below, provisions for unrecoverable debts shall be booked in the Completion Statement using the same provisioning policies and management judgements that were used in the preparation of the Accounts. No general or other provisions against trade receivables shall be applied.
		

		
			(b)No provisions shall be made against intercompany Trade Debts.
		

		
			(c)A provision of 100% shall be made against any balance outstanding with a customer who has entered into insolvency proceedings as at the Effective Time except to the extent cash is received prior to the Cut-Off Time.
		

		 


			

					

						 


				
	

					

						 


					

					

						92


					

					

						 


				




		

			 

		




 


			

					

						 


				




		

			 

		




		
			(d)A provision for credit notes issued after the Effective Time in respect of invoices issued prior to the Effective Time shall be included only to the extent that they relate to revenue recognised prior to the Effective Time and to the extent a replacement invoice is not to be issued. Where such a credit note provision is made, the related stock will also be recognised in inventory, regardless of whether the inventory was included in the Hyperion system at the Effective Time and subject to the requirements of paragraph 10 of this Part 3 of Schedule 9.
		

		
			8.Prepayments shall be included in the Completion Statement as at the Effective Time in respect of amounts paid or payable prior to the Effective Time in respect of goods and services received or receivable by the Target Group after the Effective Time, including for the avoidance of doubt: maintenance prepayments, facilities prepayments, third party contract costs and third party software costs, advertising prepayments, prepayments of software licences and insurance.
		

		
			9.Inventory shall be valued in the Completion Statement at cost (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall: (i) include any manufacturing or production overheads; and (ii) be calculated on a basis consistent with that used in the preparation of the Accounts) and will be based on the volumes of inventory recorded in the entity’s ERP system and as reported in the Hyperion financial reporting system as at the Effective Time (and reflecting the results of the most recent stock counts), less provisions which shall be calculated as follows: 
		

		
			(a)a 100% provision for obsolete inventory shall be included against those part numbers (inventory line items) which have had no usage for over two years immediately prior to the Effective Time. No other provisions for obsolescence shall be included in the Completion Statement; and
		

		
			(b)in respect of inventory for which no provision for obsolescence is included in the Completion Statement in line with sub-paragraph (a) above, a provision for slow moving inventory shall be calculated as follows:
		

		
			(i)no provision shall be applied against the quantity of inventory held at the Effective Time that equals the quantity of the same inventory line item used or sold in the twelve month period ending on the Effective Time; and
		

		
			(ii)if additional quantities of inventory remain after considering sub-paragraph 9(b)(i) above, a provision of 50% shall be applied against quantities of inventory held at the Effective Time, that equal the quantity of the same inventory line item used or sold in the twelve month period ending on the Effective Time; and
		

		
			(iii)if additional quantities of inventory remain after considering sub-paragraphs 9(b)(i) and (ii) above, a provision of 100% shall be applied.
		

		
			No other provisions or write-downs shall be booked in the Completion Statement in respect of inventory.
		

		
			10.No accruals shall be included in the Completion Statement for any goods or items which have not been invoiced (or matched to a supplier invoice) and which are more than 12 months old at the Effective Time.
		

		
			11.In respect of bonuses: 
		

		
			(a)an accrual shall be included in the Completion Statement with respect to annual staff and management bonuses for the year ending 31 December 2017 on a pro-rata basis and only to the extent that the relevant metrics have been met or exceeded at the Effective Time such that, were the Effective Time to be a year end, a bonus would become payable. The maximum

		liability that can be booked in the Completion Statement in respect of bonuses cannot exceed the pro-rata amount of the FY 2016 annual staff and management bonus. By way of illustration, if the Completion Date is 30 September 2017, the maximum bonus liability that can be included in the Completion Statement must not exceed 9/12 of the total FY 2016 staff and management bonus; and
		

		
			(b)an accrual shall be included in the Completion Statement for commissions payable up to the Effective Time,
		

		
			in each case only to the extent that the amounts remain unpaid at the Effective Time.
		

		
			12.The Completion Statement shall include a liability of the fixed amount of £3,028,000 in respect of pension arrangements and other post-retirement benefits. No other amount shall be included in the Completion Statement in respect of pensions or other post-retirement obligations.
		

		
			13.In respect of Tax, the Completion Statement shall include:

			(b)£271,000 of deferred tax assets in respect of the pension arrangements and other post-retirement benefits;
		

		
			(c)£507,000 of deferred tax assets in respect of the unutilised management charges; and
		

		
			(d)no amount of Tax assets or Tax liabilities arising as a result of the Parent procuring the reduction of the Shareholder Loan Amount in order to satisfy the Condition set out in clause 3.1(g) .
		

		
			No other amount shall be included in respect of deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. 
		

		
			14.In respect of the China IMS Lines:
		

		
			(a)no liability shall be included in the Completion Statement in respect of amounts owed by the Target Group for the China IMS Lines; and
		

		
			(b)to the extent that liabilities in respect of the China IMS Lines are settled by the Target Group in cash (or netted off against receivable balances) prior to Completion, an asset shall be included in the Completion Statement equal to the amount paid or netted by the Target Group.
		

		
			Other provisions
		

		
			15.Provisions for product warranty costs shall be included in the Completion Statement and shall be calculated using the same management judgements that were used in the preparation of the Accounts. There shall be no increase in warranty provisions from those recorded at 31 December 2016 except where there has been a change in facts or circumstances (excluding the passage of time and changes in management judgement). No new or other provisions or write-downs shall be booked in the Completion Statement in respect of warranty costs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Part 3 of Schedule 9,  no provision or liability shall be included in the Completion Statement in respect of any the future claim associated with the matter referred to at document 7.1.6.6 of the Data Room.
