 23

such an opinion from Counsel in accordance with clause 8.5 if the likely quantum as opined of the Relevant Claim is less 

  

 24 

	 	 
than the amount retained in the EBITDA Retention Account in relation to this particular Relevant Claim then the excess shall be released to the Vendors’
Solicitors provided that and to the extent that at the date such excess is to be released the amount in the EBITDA Retention Account (after deduction of or allowance for applicable bank charges and all deductions which the bank or the Vendors’

released the amount in the EBITDA Retention Account (after deduction of or allowance for applicable bank charges and all deductions which the bank or the Vendors’ Solicitors and the Purchaser’s Solicitors are bound to make) exceeds the
total aggregate amount of the Purchaser’s other Relevant Claims validly retainable in accordance with the provision of this Clause 8. 

  

	8.9.	Where any Relevant Claim becomes lawfully due to the Purchaser the Vendors the Studios Vendors and the Purchaser shall procure that the Vendors’ Solicitors and the

 SCHEDULE 6 
 Limitation of Vendors’ Liability 
  

	1.	The following paragraphs of this Schedule shall operate to limit the liability of the Vendors under or in connection with Claims and to afford certain protection to the Vendors.

  

	2.	Financial Limits 

  

	2.1	The Vendors shall not be liable in respect of any claim made under or in respect of the Warranties or the Tax Deed unless the amount of such claim, together with the aggregate
amount of all other single claims exceeds Thirty thousand pounds (£30,000) in which case the Vendors shall (subject to all other limitations on their liability referred to in this Agreement or in the Tax Deed) be liable for the whole
amount and not merely the excess over £30,000. 

  

	2.2	The amount of each individual claim under or in respect of the Warranties in order to entitle the Purchaser to make a claim against the Vendors, must be not less than £1,000
(“single claims limit”) and if lower than the single claims limit that claim shall be disregarded for all purposes and provided always that for the purposes of this sub-clause a number of claims arising from the same act or omission shall
be treated as one claim. 

  

	2.3	The total aggregate liability of the Vendors in respect of all Claims (inclusive of costs) shall not exceed the total amount of the consideration payable to the Vendors under this
Agreement. 

  

	2.4	Without prejudice to the joint and several liability of the Vendors the total aggregate liability of each Vendor in respect of all Claims shall not exceed the amount of the total
consideration actually received by each of them. 

  

	3.	Time Limit 

  

	3.1	 The Vendors shall have no liability in respect of any claim under or in connection with any of the Warranties and/or under the Tax Deed or the Indemnities unless
the Purchaser shall have given notice in writing to the Vendors of such claim specifying in reasonable 

  

 115 

	 	 
detail the event or circumstances or matter giving rise to the claim the basis upon which the claim is made against the Vendors and if possible a reasonable
estimate of the amount of such claim not later than: 

  

	 	3.1.1	in the case of a claim under the Warranties relating to taxation contained in Paragraph 3 of Schedule 4 or under the Tax Deed on or before the seventh anniversary of the date of
this Agreement; 

  

	 	3.1.2	in the case of a claim under or in connection with any of the Warranties relating to environmental liability (whether under the provisions of Paragraph 2.8 of Schedule 4 or
otherwise) or the indemnity contained in clause 9.2 of this Agreement on or before the seventh anniversary of the date of this Agreement; or 

  

	 	3.1.3	in any other case on or before the expiry of the second anniversary of this Agreement. 

  

	3.2	Any such claim that may have been made shall (if it has not been previously satisfied settled or withdrawn) be deemed to have been waived or withdrawn on the expiration of six
months after the later of 

  

	 	(1)	the date it was notified under paragraph 3.1; 

  

	 	(2)	the date on which the aggregate amount of all single claims exceeds the amount set out in paragraph 2.1.2; and 

  

	 	(3)	 in the case of a claim based on contingent liability the date on which the contingent liability becomes an actual liability subject always to the case that if any
such contingent liability shall not have become an actual liability by the seventh anniversary of the date of this Agreement in the case of Warranties relating to Tax or pursuant to the Tax Deed or Warranties relating to environmental liability
(whether under the provisions of Paragraph 2.8 of Schedule 4 or otherwise) or the indemnity contained in clause 9.2 of this Agreement and in the case of all other Warranties by the fourth anniversary of the date of this Agreement such claim in
respect of the contingent liability shall no longer be capable of recovery from the 

  

 116 

	 	 
Vendors under this Agreement 

 unless court proceedings in respect of it shall then have been issued and served against the Vendors. 
  

	3.3	Nothing in this Schedule shall prevent the Purchaser from amending or amplifying any Claim at any time after its initial notification in accordance with this Paragraph 3.

  

	4.	Recovery from Third Parties 

 In the event that the
Vendors pay to or for the benefit of the Purchaser an amount in respect of any Claim and the Purchaser or the Company subsequently receives from any other person any payment in respect of the matter giving rise to the Claim the Purchaser will
thereupon pay to the Vendor an amount equal to the payment received after having taken into account any costs liability or expense reasonably and properly incurred in respect thereof and taxation payable in respect thereof and except to any extent
that the liability of the Vendors in respect of such claim was reduced to take account of such payment. 
  

	5.	No Duplication of Recovery

be entitled to recover damages or otherwise obtain reimbursement or restitution more than once in respect of the same loss under any provision of this Agreement or the Tax Deed and any amount recovered shall pro tanto satisfy and discharge any other

than one Claim available to it in relation to the same subject matter. 
  

	6.	Successful Claims deemed to constitute a reduction in Purchase Price 

 The satisfaction by the Vendors of any claim under the Warranties and/or the Tax Deed and/or the Indemnities shall be deemed to constitute an equivalent reduction in the consideration payable by the Purchaser for the

incurred prior to the Completion Date;

Wales) and jointly instructed by the Vendors’ Solicitors and the Purchaser’s Solicitors has been obtained which states that if such Relevant Claim were referred to a court of competent jurisdiction of which no right of appeal exists the
Purchaser would on the balance of probabilities succeed and the likely quantum of such successful claim (having due regard to all the provisions and limitations on the liability of the Vendors under this Agreement and the Thames Vendors under the
Thames Agreement (as the case may be)). It is provided always that it shall not be necessary for any such opinion to be sought in the case of any Relevant Claim where the Vendors or (as the case may be) the Thames Vendors have agreed to the amount
of the Relevant Claim notified to them being so retained. 

  

	8.6	 For the purposes of Clause 8.5 the Purchaser and the Vendors or (in the case of a claim against the Thames Vendors) the Thames Vendors (as the case may be) shall

clause 8.5 and the amount claimed by the Purchaser in respect of such Relevant Claim shall be retained in the EBITDA Retention Account in addition to any other amounts to be retained in accordance with clause 8.4. Upon receipt of such an opinion
from Counsel in accordance with clause 8.5 if the likely quantum as opined of the Relevant Claim is less than the amount retained in the EBITDA Retention Account in relation to this particular Relevant Claim then the excess shall be released to the
Vendors’ Solicitors provided that and to the extent that at the date such excess is to be released the amount in the EBITDA Retention Account (after deduction of or allowance for applicable bank charges and all deductions which the bank or the
Vendors’ Solicitors and the Purchaser’s Solicitors are bound to make) exceeds the total aggregate amount of the Purchaser’s Relevant Claims validly retainable in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 8.

case may be) the Thames Vendors within the time period set out in paragraph 3.2 of Schedule 6 to this Agreement or paragraph 3.2 of Schedule 6 to the Thames Agreement (as the case may be) then the amount retained in respect of such Relevant Claim
shall be released to the Vendors’ Solicitors to the extent that at the date such amount is to be released the amount in the EBITDA Retention Account (after deduction of or allowance for applicable bank charges and all deductions which the bank
or the Vendors’ Solicitors and the Purchaser’s Solicitors are bound to make) exceeds the total aggregate amount of the Purchaser’s other Relevant Claims validly retainable in accordance with the provision of this Clause 8.

  

	8.9.	Where any Relevant Claim becomes lawfully due to the Purchaser the Vendors the Thames Vendors and the Purchaser shall procure that the Vendors’ Solicitors and the
Purchaser’s Solicitors shall within ten (10) Business Days of such Relevant Claim becoming lawfully due to the Purchaser pay the appropriate amount to the Purchaser out of the EBITDA Retention (insofar as there are sufficient sums standing
to the credit of the EBITDA Retention Account after adding appropriate interest and deduction of bank charges and other deductions which the bank or the Vendors’ Solicitors and the Purchaser’s Solicitors are bound to make).

  

	8.10	Following the settlement, withdrawal, dismissal, striking out, discontinuance or other resolution of all Relevant Claims validly retained in accordance with the provisions of Clause
8 of this Agreement and upon final determination of the total amount (if any) payable in respect thereof by the Vendors or the Thames Vendors (as the case may be) and payment of the same to the Purchaser any balance of the EBITDA Retention then
remaining together with accrued interest but after deduction of bank charges and all deductions which the bank or the Vendors’ Solicitors and the Purchaser’s Solicitors are bound to make shall be released to the Vendors’ Solicitors

 If any deductions or
withholdings are required by law to be made from any sums the Vendors shall be obliged to pay the Purchaser such amount as will after the deduction or withholding has been made leave the Purchaser with the same amount as it would have been entitled

provisions of Clause 7.

respect of the expenditure, provision or reserve, whether by way of reduced Actual Tax Liability, by way of an amount available for Group Relief surrender or otherwise, is to be treated as a “Relevant Amount” for the purposes of
this clause 

  

	(e)	any Liability to Tax results from any income, profits or gains of the Company not received by the Company being subject to Tax and the Company subsequently receives the income,
profits or gains and is not subject to Tax on such income, profits or gains the amount of Tax which would otherwise have been payable in respect of the income, profits or gains is to be treated as a “Relevant Amount” for the

Benefit”): 

 (a) the Purchaser shall procure that the details of the Relevant Benefit are given to the Vendors as soon

Relevant Benefit) 
  

	7.4	Any Relevant Benefit shall be dealt with as follows: 

  

	(a)	the Relevant Benefit shall first be set off against any amount then due from the Vendors in respect of a Tax Liability or under the Warranties in the Agreement relating to Tax;

  

	(b)	to the extent there is an excess of the Relevant Benefit after accounting for the same in accordance with sub-clause (a) above, the Purchaser shall procure that a refund shall
be made to the Vendors for any previous payment or payments made by the Vendors in respect of a Tax Liability or under the Warranties in the Agreement relating to Tax and not previously refunded under this clause up to the amount of such excess;

  

	(c)	to the extent that the excess referred to in sub-clause (b) of this clause is not exhausted under that sub-clause, the remainder of that excess shall be carried forward and set
off against any future payment or payments which become due from the Vendors in respect of a Liability to Tax or under the Warranties in the Agreement relating to Tax 

  

	8.	TAX RETURNS 

  

	8.1	 The Purchaser shall procure that all material communications to any Taxation Authority in respect of any accounting period commencing on or before Completion are

therewith) save that this clause shall not apply in respect of any Tax for which the Vendors are liable to make or have made payment to the Vendors under this Deed 

  

	9.2	Any payment which the Purchaser is obliged to make pursuant to this clause shall be made on or before the date which is three Business Days before the Vendors are obliged to pay the

and the Thames Vendors; and 

  

	 	4.1.2	the Purchaser shall pay by way of additional consideration for the Sale Shares payable under this Agreement and for the Thames Shares payable under the Thames Agreement a sum equal

(10) Business Days of the date when the EBITDA Statement shall have become binding in accordance with Paragraph 3.5 and if such monies shall be less than such amount then the Vendors and the Thames Vendors shall pay the amount of the balance of
