the Buyer (so far as possible, by way of repayment of the consideration payable under

other liability in respect of which the Sellers are or may be liable under this Tax
Covenant;  

	 	Taxation Authority: 	the HM Revenue and Customs,

relevant Subsidiary to Tax that is the primary liability of, or properly attributable to,

liability of the Company or the relevant Subsidiary only because some other person, other

attributable to that asset in the Accounts or, in the case of an asset acquired since the
Accounts Date, the cost of that asset; or  

	 	1.5.6  	anything

same meaning in this Tax Covenant and any provisions in this agreement concerning matters
of construction or interpretation also apply in this Tax Covenant.  

	 	1.7 	For
the avoidance of doubt, references to any Liability for Taxation of the Company or any
Subsidiary which results from any gains earned or received on or before Completion or any

Completion or in respect of any gross receipts, income, profits or gains earned, accrued
or received by the Company or any Subsidiaries on or before Completion;

for Taxation which arises solely as a result of the relationship for Tax purposes of the
Company or any Subsidiaries with any person other than a member of the Buyer’s Tax
Group whensoever arising;  

	 	2.1.3  	payment
of interest or penalties for which the Company or any Subsidiary is liable as a result of
the Company or the relevant Subsidiary failing to make any instalment payment under the
Corporation Tax (Instalment Payments) Regulations 1998 in any period ending on or before
Completion sufficient to avoid such interest or penalties;  

	 	2.1.4  	Liability
for Taxation falling within paragraph (a) to paragraph (d) of the definition of Liability
for Taxation; 

	 	2.1.5  	Liability
 for Taxation  arising in respect of, by reference to or in  consequence  of the sale of
the Property by the Company to the Sellers on the Completion Date; 

	 	2.1.6  	Liability

costs and expenses referred to in paragraph 9. 

	3.  	Payment
date and interest

	 	3.1  	Where
the Sellers are liable to make any payment under paragraph 2 (including any payment
pursuant to paragraph 2.1.8), the due date for the making of that payment (Due Date)
shall be the earlier of the date falling seven days after the Buyer has served a notice
on the Sellers demanding that payment and in a case:  

	 	3.1.1  	that
involves an actual payment of Tax by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries (including
any payment pursuant to paragraph 2.1.8), the date on which the Tax in question would
have had to have been paid to the relevant Taxation Authority in order to prevent a
liability to interest or a fine, surcharge or penalty from arising in respect of the
Liability for Taxation in question; or  

	 	3.1.2  	that
falls within paragraph (a) of the definition of Liability for Taxation, the last date on
which the Tax is or would have been required to be paid to the relevant Taxation
Authority in respect of the period in which the Loss of the Relief occurs (assuming for
this purpose that the Company or the relevant Subsidiary had sufficient profits or was
otherwise in a position to use the Relief); or  

55 

	 	3.1.3  	that
falls within paragraph (b) of the definition of Liability for Taxation, the date on which
the repayment was due from the relevant Taxation Authority; or  

	 	3.1.4  	that
falls within paragraph (c) of the definition of Liability for Taxation, the date on which
the Tax saved by the Company or the relevant Subsidiary is or would have been required to

	 	3.1.5  	that
falls within paragraph (d) of the definition of Liability for Taxation, not later than

dispute as to the amount specified in any notice served on the Sellers under paragraph
3.1.2 to paragraph 3.1.5 shall be determined by the auditors of the Company or the
relevant Subsidiary for the time being, acting as experts and not as arbitrators (the
costs of that determination being shared equally by the Sellers and the Buyer).  

	 	3.3 	If
any sums required to be paid by the Sellers under this Tax Covenant are not paid on the
Due Date then, except to the extent that the Sellers’ liability under paragraph 2
compensates the Buyer for the late payment by virtue of it extending to interest and
penalties, such sums shall bear interest (which shall accrue from day to day after as
well as before any judgment for the same) at the rate of 4% per annum over the base rate
from time to time of The Royal Bank of Scotland plc or (in the absence thereof) at such
similar rate as the Buyer selects from the day following the Due Date up to and including
the day of actual payment of such sums, such interest to be compounded quarterly.  

	4.  	Exclusions 

	 	4.1  	The
covenant contained in paragraph 2 shall not cover any Liability for Taxation to the
extent that:  

	 	4.1.1  	a
provision or reserve in respect thereof is made in the Completion Balance Sheet or such
Liability for Taxation was paid before Completion and such payment was reflected in the
Completion Balance Sheet; or  

	 	4.1.2  	it
arises or is increased as a result only of any change in the law of Tax announced and
coming into force after Completion (whether relating to rates of Tax or otherwise) or
their interpretation by any court of law or tribunal or published practice of any
Taxation Authority of general application(including without limitation, any HM Revenue
and Customs (“HMRC”) Statement of Practice, Extra-statutory Concession or the
HMRC Bulletin and the HMRC Manuals other than where the firm intention to introduce or
make such specific change was announced on or before the date hereof); or  

	 	4.1.3  	it
would not have arisen but for a change after Completion in the accounting bases on which
the Company or any Subsidiaries values its assets or a change in the accounting policies
or practices (including a change in accounting reference date) introduced or having
effect after Completion (other than a change made in order to comply with UK GAAP); or  

56 

	 	4.1.4  	the
Buyer is compensated for any such matter under any other provision of this agreement; or 

	 	4.1.5  	it
would not have arisen but for a voluntary act or transaction carried out by the Buyer,
the Company or any Subsidiaries after Completion, being an act which:  

	 	4.1.5.1  	is
not in the ordinary course of business; or 

	 	4.1.5.2  	could
reasonably have been avoided; or  

	 	4.1.5.3  	the
 Company  or the  relevant  Subsidiary  was not  legally  committed  to do under a
 commitment  that  existed on or before Completion; and 

	 	4.1.5.4  	the
Buyer was aware would give rise to the Liability for Taxation in question; or 

	 	4.1.6  	the
Liability for Taxation is a Degrouping Charge which, whether by election or otherwise, is
treated as accruing not to the Company or the relevant Subsidiary but to the Sellers or
any member of the Retained Group.  

	 	4.1.7  	such
Liability for Taxation would not have arisen but for the failure or the omission to make
any claim, election, surrender or disclaimer, or to give any notice or consent or to do
any other thing after Completion, in circumstances where the making, giving or doing of
that thing is or has been assumed in computing the provision for Taxation in the
Completion Balance Sheet and details of which have (to the extent possible) been set out
in the Disclosure Letter; or  

	 	4.1.8  	such
Liability for Taxation would not have arisen but for the withdrawal or amendment by the
Company after Completion of any claim, election, surrender, disclaimer, notice or consent
made by the Company prior to Completion which is taken into account in computing and so
reducing any provision which appears in the Completion Balance Sheet (or eliminating any
provision which would otherwise have appeared in the Completion Balance Sheet or in
computing any right to repayment of Taxation which appears in the Completion Balance
Sheet) and is specifically referred to therein, provided that details of such claim,
election, surrender, disclaimer, notice or consent have (to the extent possible) been set
out in the Disclosure Letter; or  

	 	4.1.9  	such
Liability for Taxation is a liability to interest or penalties, such Liability for
Taxation would not have arisen but for the Company failing to make payment to the
relevant Taxation Authority of an amount of Taxation equal to the payment previously made
by the Sellers to the Buyer hereunder in respect of such Taxation; or  

	 	4.1.10  	such
Liability for Taxation arises as a result of a change in the rate of corporation tax
where such change results from the Company becoming part of the Buyer’s Tax Group
after Completion; or  

57 

	 	4.1.11  	the
Buyer has been compensated in full at no cost to the Buyer or the Company. 

	 	4.2 	The
provisions of paragraph 4.1 of this Tax Covenant and paragraph 6 (Limitations on claims)
of this agreement shall not apply to any claims in respect of any Liability for Taxation
falling within paragraphs 2.1.5 to 2.1.7 inclusive of this Tax Covenant.  

	5. 	Recovery
from third parties

	 	5.1 	Where
the Sellers have paid an amount in full discharge of a liability under paragraph 2 in
respect of any Liability for Taxation and the Buyer, the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries is or becomes entitled to recover from some other person (not being the
Buyer, the Company or a Subsidiary or any other company within the Buyer’s Tax
Group) any amount in respect of such Liability for Taxation, the Buyer shall or shall
procure that the Company or the relevant Subsidiary shall:  

	 	5.1.1  	notify
the Sellers of their entitlement as soon as reasonably practicable; and 

	 	5.1.2  	if
required by the Sellers and, subject to the Buyer, the Company or the relevant Subsidiary
being secured and indemnified by the Sellers against any Tax that may be suffered on
receipt of that amount and any costs and expenses incurred in recovering that amount,
take or procure that the Company or the relevant Subsidiary takes all reasonable steps to
enforce that recovery against the person in question (keeping the Sellers fully informed
of the progress of any action taken), provided that the Buyer shall not be required to
take any action pursuant to this paragraph 5.1 (other than an action against:  

	 	5.1.2.1  	a
Taxation Authority; or  

	 	5.1.2.2  	a
person who has given Tax advice to the Company or relevant Subsidiary on or before
Completion), 

	 	which, in
the Buyer’s reasonable opinion, is likely to harm its, the Company’s or the
relevant Subsidiary’s commercial relationship (potential or actual) with that or any
other person.  

	 	5.2 	If
the Buyer, the Company or a Subsidiary recovers any amount referred to in paragraph 5.1,
the Buyer shall account to the Sellers for the lesser of:  

	 	5.2.1  	any
amount recovered (including any related interest or related repayment supplement) less
any Tax suffered in respect of that amount and any costs and expenses incurred in
recovering that amount (save to the extent that amount has already been made good by the
Sellers under paragraph 5.1.2); and  

	 	5.2.2  	the
amount paid by the Sellers under paragraph 2 in respect of the Liability for Taxation in
question.  

	6.  	Conduct
of tax claims 

	 	6.1 	If
the Buyer, the Company or a Subsidiary becomes aware of a Tax Claim, the Buyer shall give
or procure that notice in writing is given to the Sellers as soon as is reasonably
practicable, provided that if the Sellers receive any Tax Claim for whatever reason, it
shall notify the Buyer in writing as soon as is reasonably practicable and the Buyer
shall be deemed, on receipt of such notification, to have given the Sellers notice of
such Tax Claim in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph 6, provided always
that the giving of such notice shall not be a condition precedent to the Sellers’ liability
under this Tax Covenant.  

 58

	 	6.2 	Provided
the Sellers indemnify and secure the Buyer and the Company or the relevant Subsidiary to
the Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction against all liabilities, costs, damages or
expenses which may be incurred thereby including any additional Liability for Taxation,
the Buyer shall take and shall procure that the Company or the relevant Subsidiary shall
take such action as the Sellers may reasonably request by notice in writing given to the
Buyer, the Company or the relevant Subsidiary to avoid, dispute, defend, resist, appeal
or compromise any Tax Claim (such a Tax Claim where action is so requested being
hereinafter referred to as a Dispute), provided that neither the Buyer, the
Company nor the relevant Subsidiary shall be obliged to appeal or procure an appeal
against any assessment to Tax raised on any of them if, the Sellers having been given
written notice of the receipt of such assessment, the Buyer, the Company or the relevant
Subsidiary have not within 14 days of the date of the notice received instructions in
writing from the Seller to do so.  

	 	6.3  	If:
 

	 	6.3.1  	the
Sellers do not request the Buyer, the Company or the relevant Subsidiary to take any
action under paragraph 6.2 or fails to indemnify and secure the Buyer, the Company or the
relevant Subsidiary to the Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction within a period of time
(commencing with the date of the notice given to the Sellers) that is reasonable, having
regard to the nature of the Tax Claim and the existence of any time limit in relation to
avoiding, disputing, defending, resisting, appealing or compromising such Tax Claim, and
which period shall not in any event exceed a period of 14 days; or  

	 	6.3.2  	the
Sellers (or the Company or the relevant Subsidiary before Completion) has been involved
in a case involving fraudulent conduct or wilful default in respect of the Liability for
Taxation which is the subject matter of the Dispute; or  

	 	6.3.3  	the
Dispute involves an appeal against a determination by the General or Special
Commissioners of the VAT and Duties Tribunal, unless the Seller has obtained the opinion
of Tax counsel of at least 5 years ́ standing that there is a reasonable prospect
that the appeal will succeed,  

	 	the
Buyer, the Company or the relevant Subsidiary shall have the conduct of the Dispute
absolutely (without prejudice to its rights under this Tax Covenant) and shall be free to
pay or settle the Tax Claim on such terms as the Buyer, the Company or the relevant
Subsidiary may in its absolute discretion considers fit.  

	 	6.4 	Neither
the Buyer, the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries shall be subject to any claim by or
liability to the Sellers for non-compliance with any of the foregoing provisions of this
paragraph 6 if the Buyer, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries has bona fide acted in
accordance with the instructions of any one of the Sellers.  

59 

	7.  	Grossing up 

	 	7.1  	All
sums payable by the Sellers to the Buyer under this Tax Covenant shall be paid free and
clear of all deductions or withholdings whatsoever unless the deduction or withholding is
required by law. If any deductions or withholdings are required by law to be made from
any of the sums payable under this Tax Covenant, the Sellers shall pay to the Buyer such
sum as will, after the deduction or withholding has been made, leave the Buyer with the
same amount as it would have been entitled to receive in the absence of any such
requirement to make a deduction or withholding.  

	 	7.2 	If
the Buyer incurs a taxation liability which results from, or is calculated by reference
to, any sum paid under this Tax Covenant, the amount so payable shall be increased by
such amount as will ensure that, after payment of the taxation liability, the Buyer is
left with a net sum equal to the sum it would have received had no such taxation
liability arisen.  

	 	7.3 	If
the Buyer would, but for the availability of a Buyer’s Relief, incur a taxation
liability falling within paragraph 7.2, it shall be deemed for the purposes of that
paragraph to have incurred and paid that liability.  

	8.  	Buyer’s
Covenant 

	 	8.1 	The
Buyer covenants with the Sellers to pay an amount equal to any liability to Tax payable
by the Sellers by virtue of section 767A or section 767AA ICTA 1988 arising from the
non-payment of Tax by the Buyer save that this paragraph 8.1 shall not apply in respect
of any Tax which the Sellers are liable to make (but has not yet made) payment under this
Tax Covenant.  

	 	8.2  	If
the Buyer makes a payment under paragraph 8.1, the Sellers agree:- 

	 	8.2.1  	to
discharge, or procure the discharge of, the liability in question promptly and to
indemnify the Buyer for any liability falling on the Buyer as a result of a failure to do
so; and  

	 	8.2.2  	not
to enforce its statutory right of recovery under section 767B(2) ICTA 1988 in respect of
the liability in question.  

	9.  	Costs
and expenses 

	 	9.1 	The
covenant contained in paragraph 2 of this Tax Covenant shall extend to all costs and
expenses incurred by the Buyer, the Company or any Subsidiaries in connection with any
matter included under paragraph 2 of this Tax Covenant and the enforcement of rights
under this Tax Covenant.
