without interest, save to the extent that interest is included (or allowed) in such Credit. No credit shall be taken to have been received by the Grantor
unless and until it shall have relieved the Grantor of a present obligation to pay taxation (whether by representing a Credit against profits, income or gains or against tax) or it shall have resulted in a repayment of tax.

  

	 	6.14.5  	If any amount due from BRT pursuant to sub-clause 6.14.2 relates to a payment of tax by the Grantor which is payable on the same date as the Grantor receives a Credit to which

amount as the parties may from time to time agree (or in default of agreement as may be determined pursuant to Clause 9.1) and such insurance shall include a cross-liabilities clause as between the Grantor and BRT (so that the insurers do not pay
out to either the Grantor or BRT and then seek to recover from the other) and: 
  

	 	6.15.1  	 to make available for inspection the policy and receipts for the current premium and/or provide copies and/or provide a certificate 

  

 44

	 	6.15.2  	if BRT shall at any time fail to insure or pay the insurance premiums in accordance with these requirements the Grantor shall be at liberty to insure instead and thenceforth to pay
the premiums payable from time to time and the amount of such payments and any related costs incurred shall be repaid by BRT to the Grantor on demand; 

  

	 	6.15.3  	if BRT shall become entitled to any insurance money in respect of public liability risks then BRT shall apply this to the claim, demand or liability in relation to which it shall
have been received and in respect of any indemnity for such risks given by BRT to the Grantor under this Deed; 

  

	 	6.15.4  	to observe and perform the conditions of the insurance policy. 

  

	 	6.16	Superior Leases and matters affecting Burdened Land

Grantor’s Land; or 

  

	 	6.16.2  	any other obligation, condition, restriction or other provision binding the Grantor in relation to such subject matter or the relevant part of the Grantor’s Land; and

not be deemed to be in breach of these obligations in the event and to the extent that details of all the 

  

 45 

	 	 
matters referred to in sub-clauses 6.16.1 and 6.16.2 have not been disclosed by the Grantor to BRT But the Grantor shall not by virtue of this proviso be
deemed to have authorised, permitted or condoned any act or omission constituting a breach of sub-clauses 6.16.1 and 6.16.2 that may in fact be committed by BRT.

 not to damage or tamper with or endanger the plant, equipment and other installations on the Subjects. 
  

	 	4.11	Existing Agreements 

  
 at all times after the Management Agreement shall cease to subsist to enforce all conditions and obligations on the part of any person other than British
Railways Board or the grantors in relation to the Existing Agreements (with particular reference to [railway safety matters and] access to the Subjects) so far as BRT is able to enforce them and not

or omission of BRT, its employees, duly authorised agents or contractors whilst exercising the rights granted by this Deed of Servitude and maintaining the Installation or any breach of its obligations under this Deed resulting in any such case in
loss, damage or injury to Railtrack or to Railtrack’s Installation or any heritable or moveable property whatsoever or death of or injury to any person Provided That Railtrack shall not compromise or settle any such actions, costs, proceedings,
claims or demands without the consent of BRT (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 

  

	 	4.12.2  	 if Railtrack becomes liable to make a payment of tax in respect of any sum paid to it under sub-clause 4.12.1, BRT shall be obliged to pay Railtrack such amount as
will, after such liability, leave Railtrack with the same amount as it would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such tax liability. For these purposes, if Railtrack is deprived of any relief from, or right to repayment of, taxation as a
result of the payment to it of any such sum under sub-clause 4.12.1 or under this sub-clause, such deprivation shall be treated, for the purposes of this sub- clause, as a payment of tax of 

  

 100 

	 	 
an amount equal to the tax liability that would otherwise have been due in the absence of such relief, or right to repayment of tax, as the case may be.

  

	 	4.12.3  	amounts due from BRT under sub-clause 4.12.2 shall be due to Railtrack two working days before Railtrack is obliged to pay the tax in question. 

  

	 	4.12.4  	if any credit, relief or deduction for the purposes of computing income, profits or gains chargeable to, or against, tax (“a Credit”) is received by Railtrack as a result
of any payment by it of the type contemplated by sub-clause 4.12.1, the amount of the payment under sub-clause 4.12.2 shall nevertheless be payable in full by BRT on the date ascertained in accordance with sub-clause 4.12.3. If a Credit is received
by Railtrack, Railtrack shall, subject to sub-clause 4.12.5, promptly repay to BRT an amount equal to such Credit (up to the amount previously paid by or due from BRT) and without interest, save to the extent that interest is included (or allowed)
in such Credit. No credit shall be taken to have been received by Railtrack unless and until it shall have relieved Railtrack of a present obligation to pay taxation (whether by representing a Credit against profits, income or gains or against tax)
or it shall have resulted in a repayment of tax. 

  

	 	4.12.5  	 if any amount due from BRT pursuant to sub-clause 4.12.2 relates to a payment of tax by Railtrack which is payable on the same date as Railtrack receives a Credit
to which sub- clause 4.12.4 applies, the amount due from BRT shall be 

  

 101 

	 	 
reduced by the amount of the Credit or, if the amount of the Credit exceeds the amount due from BRT, the excess shall be paid by Railtrack to BRT.

implemented by British Railways Board] to maintain at BRT’s own expense comprehensive public liability insurance in respect of the Installation and all the activities of BRT with insurers of good repute for such reasonable amount as the
parties may from time to time agree (or in default of agreement as may be determined pursuant to the provisions of this Deed of Servitude in respect of arbitration) and such insurance shall include a cross-liabilities clause as between Railtrack and
BRT (so that the insurers do not pay out to either Railtrack or BRT and then seek to recover from the other) and:

extent and nature of cover; 

  

	 	4.13.2  	 if BRT shall at any time fail to insure or pay the insurance premiums in accordance with these requirements Railtrack shall be at liberty to insure instead and
thenceforth to pay the premiums payable from time to time and the amount of such 

  

 102 

	 	 
payments and any related costs incurred shall be repaid by BRT to Railtrack on demand; 

  

	 	4.13.3  	if BRT shall become entitled to any insurance money in respect of public liability risks then BRT shall apply this to the claim, demand or liability in relation to which it shall
have been received and in respect of any indemnity for such risks given by BRT to Railtrack under this Deed of Servitude; 

  

	 	4.13.3  	to observe and perform the conditions of the insurance policy.

Railtrack’s Installation within the Ducts to the extent that the Ducts are capable of receiving it without causing electrical or other interference with the operation of any BRT Apparatus or other Telecommunication Apparatus forming part of the
Installation at the time such works are carried out, such rights in the case only of works of new installation (not being 

  

 107 

	 	 
renewal) being exercisable where practicable in accordance with a programme of works first notified in writing by Railtrack to BRT.

of the payment to it of any such sum under sub-clause 6.13.1 or under this sub-clause, such deprivation shall be treated for the purposes of this sub-paragraph, as a payment of tax of an amount equal to the tax liability that would otherwise have
been due in the absence of such relief, or right to repayment of tax, as the case may be; 

  

	 	6.13.3  	Amounts due from BRT under sub-clause 6.13.2 shall be due to the Grantor two working days before the Grantor is obliged to pay the tax in question; 

  

	 	6.13.4  	 If any credit, relief or deduction for the purposes of computing income, profits or gains chargeable to, or against, tax (“a Credit”) is received by the

included (or allowed) in such Credit. 

  

 40 

	 	 
No credit shall be taken to have been received by the Grantor unless and until it shall have relieved the Grantor of a present obligation to pay taxation
(whether by representing a Credit against profits, income or gains or against tax) or it shall have resulted in a repayment of tax; 

  

	 	6.13.5  	If any amount due from BRT pursuant to Clause 6.13.2 relates to a payment of tax by the Grantor which is payable on the same date as the Grantor receives a Credit to which Clause

 43 

 
or installation or any replacement or renewal of them in any case on a like for like basis) which shall cause electrical or other interference with the
operation of any telecommunication apparatus being part of the Installation (and in this sub-clause “interference” shall mean interference which is material to the operation or physical state of the apparatus interfered with). 

 

	 	7.5	Indemnities 

  

	 	7.5.1  	By way of indemnity only for so long as the Existing Agreements shall be in force the Grantor shall not do anything which would be a breach of any of the covenants, conditions and

exercise of and subject to its statutory and common law obligations nor the grant by the Grantor of any permission or permissions properly given for any person to use railway facilities nor any vibration or electrical or other interference with any
part of the Installation caused by railway traffic shall constitute either a breach of the obligations of the Grantor under this sub-clause or a derogation from the Grantor’s grant. 
  

	8.	Rights Reserved by the Grantor in the Exercise of its Functions 

  
 If and for as long as the Grantor shall be British Railways Board, any successor in title to or assignee of the Board’s undertaking or any successor

loss, damage or injury to Railtrack or to Railtrack’s Installation or any heritable or moveable property whatsoever or death of or injury to any person Provided That Railtrack shall not compromise or settle any such actions, costs, proceedings,
claims or demands without the consent of BRT (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 

  

	 	4.12.2  	 if Railtrack becomes liable to make a payment of tax in respect of any sum paid to it under sub-clause 4.12.1, BRT shall be obliged to pay Railtrack such amount as
will, after such liability, leave Railtrack with the same amount as it would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such tax liability. For these purposes, if Railtrack is deprived of any relief from, or right to repayment of, taxation as a
result of the payment to it of any such sum under sub-clause 4.12.1 or under this sub-clause, such deprivation shall be treated, for the purposes of this sub- clause, as a payment of tax of 

  

 100 

	 	 
an amount equal to the tax liability that would otherwise have been due in the absence of such relief, or right to repayment of tax, as the case may be.

  

	 	4.12.3  	amounts due from BRT under sub-clause 4.12.2 shall be due to Railtrack two working days before Railtrack is obliged to pay the tax in question. 

  

	 	4.12.4  	if any credit, relief or deduction for the purposes of computing income, profits or gains chargeable to, or against, tax (“a Credit”) is received by Railtrack as a result

by Railtrack, Railtrack shall, subject to sub-clause 4.12.5, promptly repay to BRT an amount equal to such Credit (up to the amount previously paid by or due from BRT) and without interest, save to the extent that interest is included (or allowed)
in such Credit. No credit shall be taken to have been received by Railtrack unless and until it shall have relieved Railtrack of a present obligation to pay taxation (whether by representing a Credit against profits, income or gains or against tax)
or it shall have resulted in a repayment of tax. 

  

	 	4.12.5  	 if any amount due from BRT pursuant to sub-clause 4.12.2 relates to a payment of tax by Railtrack which is payable on the same date as Railtrack receives a Credit
to which sub-clause 4.12.4 applies, the amount due from BRT shall be 

  

 101 

	 	 
reduced by the amount of the Credit or, if the amount of the Credit exceeds the amount due from BRT, the excess shall be paid by Railtrack to BRT.

extent and nature of cover; 

  

	 	4.13.2 	 if BRT shall at any time fail to insure or pay the insurance premiums in accordance with these requirements Railtrack shall be at liberty to insure instead and
thenceforth to pay the premiums payable from time to time and the amount of such 

  

 102 

	 	 
payments and any related costs incurred shall be repaid by BRT to Railtrack on demand; 

  

	 	4.13.3 	if BRT shall become entitled to any insurance money in respect of public liability risks then BRT shall apply this to the claim, demand or liability in relation to which it shall
have been received and in respect of any indemnity for such risks given by BRT to Railtrack under this Deed of Servitude; 

  

	 	4.13.3 	to observe and perform the conditions of the insurance policy.
