RECOVERY FROM THIRD PARTIES 11.1 If
11.1.1 the Seller makes a payment in respect of a Warranty Claim by the Purchaser (the “Damages Payment”);
11.1.2 any member of the Purchaser’s Group recovers from a third party (including pursuant to any insurance policy) any sum in cash or in kind which compensates it in respect of the Loss which is the subject matter to that Warranty Claim (the “Third Party Sum”);
11.1.3 the receipt of that Third Party Sum was not taken into account in calculating the Damages Payment; and
11.1.4 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 Warranty Claim in question, such excess being the “Excess Recovery”, then the Purchaser shall, promptly on receipt of the Third Party Sum by any member of the Purchaser’s Group, repay to the Seller an amount equal to the lower of (i) the Excess Recovery and (ii) the Damages Payment, after deducting (in either case) all additional Tax and any costs incurred by the Purchaser or the relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group in recovering that Third Party Sum.
11.2 If, before the Seller pays any amount in respect of any Warranty Claim under this Agreement, any EDS Entity is entitled to recover (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief, insurance or otherwise) from a third party a sum which indemnifies or compensates any relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group (in whole or in part) in respect of the Loss or Liability which is the subject matter of the Warranty Claim, the Purchaser shall procure that, before steps are taken against the Seller, the Purchaser will make reasonable efforts to enforce recovery against the third party and any actual recovery shall reduce or satisfy, as applicable, such Warranty Claim to the extent of such recovery, provided that the Seller first indemnifies the Purchaser’s Group and the EDS Entities against any Tax that may be suffered on receipt of any sum recovered thereunder, together with any costs or expenses incurred in recovering such sum.
