4.2.7 the Tax Liability giving rise to such Tax Claim is the loss or non-availability of the Carried Forward Trading Loss which would not have arisen but for:

4.2.7.1 a voluntary act or omission after Completion of the Purchaser or the Company;

4.2.7.2 as a result of the Company being associated with one or more other companies in the Purchaser’s group after Completion;

4.2.7.3 a major change in the nature or conduct of the Company’s trade or a cessation of the Company’s trade in each case occurring after Completion; or

4.2.7.4 any transfer of the trade of the Company after Completion to any other company.

4.2.8 the Tax Liability giving rise to such Tax Claim arises or is increased by reason of or in consequence of:

4.2.8.1 any claim, disclaimer, election or surrender made or notice or consent given by the Purchaser or the Company after Completion (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any claim or disclaimer of Relief under Part 13 CTA 2009 (“Additional Relief on Expenditure for Research and Development”)) that was not taken into account in the Accounts;

4.2.8.2 any failure by the Purchaser or the Company after Completion to make any claim, disclaimer, election or surrender or give any notice or consent, or do any other thing after Completion (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the failure to make any claim or disclaimer of Relief under Part 13 CTA 2009 (“Additional Relief on Expenditure for Research and Development”)), the making, giving or doing of which was properly taken into account in the Accounts; or

4.2.8.3 the voluntary amendment after Completion by the Purchaser or the Company of any valid claim, disclaimer, election, surrender, notice or consent made or given on or before Completion (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the voluntary amendment after Completion by the Purchaser or the Company of any valid claim or disclaimer of Relief under Part 13 CTA 2009 (“Additional Relief on Expenditure for Research and Development”)).

4.2.9 the Tax Liability giving rise to such Tax Claim arises or is increased as a result of the failure of the Purchaser to comply with the provisions of paragraph 5 (Conduct in relation to Assessments) of this schedule;

4.2.10 any Relief other than an Accounts Relief or a Post Completion Relief:

4.2.10.1 is available to the Company so as to reduce or eliminate the liability in question; or

4.2.10.2 would have been so available had it not been used after Completion so as to reduce or eliminate a Tax Liability for which the Warrantors are not liable under this agreement,

4.2.11 the Tax Liability giving rise to such Tax Claim arises or is increased as a result of the Company ceasing to be entitled to the small companies’ rate of corporation tax as a result of being associated with one or more other companies in the Purchaser’s group after Completion;

4.2.12 where the amount giving rise to the potential liability under paragraph 2 relates to the loss or non-availability of the Carried Forward Trading Loss, the EMI CT Deduction is equal to or more than the amount of the Carried Forward Trading Loss lost or unavailable and/or the Company or the Purchaser after Completion claims a tax credit be paid in respect of that Carried Forward Loss;

4.2.13 the Tax Liability is a liability to pay VAT in respect of the amounts listed in Part 1 of Schedule 7 to the extent that such VAT is recoverable by the Company as input tax;

4.2.14 the Tax Liability is a liability to income tax under PAYE and/or employer’s or employee’s national insurance contributions in respect of the contractual bonuses set out in Part 2 of Schedule 7 .

4.3 For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of paragraph 1.1 (maximum cap), paragraph 6 (double recovery) of Schedule 4 (Limitations) shall apply to this Schedule to the extent stated to do so as if they were set out in full in this Schedule.

4.4 There shall be no double recovery in respect of the same issue under this Tax Covenant or under this Tax Covenant and any other provision of this agreement and in particular (but without limiting the generality of this paragraph) in the event that the Carried Forward Trading Loss proves to be unavailable this shall give rise to one claim for loss of an Accounts Relief but not two claims under two limbs of the definition of Accounts Relief (being limb (b) and limb (c)).

5.1 If the Purchaser or the Company becomes aware of any Assessment which gives or may give rise to a Tax Claim, the Purchaser shall, or shall procure that the Company shall, promptly notify the Warrantors of the Assessment, and in any event in a case involving an assessment with a time limit for appeal at least 10 Business Days before the expiry of that time limit and in any other case within 14 days of receipt or becoming aware of the Assessment but such notification shall not be a condition precedent to the liability of the Warrantors in respect of any Tax Claim.

5.2 The Purchaser agrees to take and procure that the Company shall take such action and gives such information and assistance as the Warrantors or the Warrantors’ professional advisers may reasonably request to resist, appeal or compromise any Assessment notified to the Warrantors in accordance with paragraph 5.1 provided that the Warrantors have agreed to indemnify the Purchaser and/or the Company in respect of any costs that it reasonably incurs in taking such action.

5.3 The action which the Warrantors may request under paragraph 5.2 shall include the Purchaser or the Company applying to postpone (so far as legally possible) the payment of any Tax but not allowing the Warrantors or the Warrantors’ professional advisers to conduct negotiations and proceedings in respect of the Assessment in the name of the Company.

5.5.4 any action requested by any trustee in bankruptcy of any Warrantor.

5.6 If, in relation to an Assessment, a Tax Authority alleges in writing that any Warrantor (at any time) and/or the Company (before or on Completion) has committed an act or omission constituting fraudulent conduct in respect of the Tax Liability then the Warrantors shall cease to have any rights under this paragraph 5 in relation to that Assessment.

5.7 The Purchaser and its advisers shall have conduct of the submission of any outstanding tax computations for all periods and of any enquiries arising from such tax computations but in the event of any enquiries raised by HMRC in relation to relief under Part 13 CTA 2009 (“Additional Relief on Expenditure for Research and Development”) in respect of any year up to and including the year ended 31 March 2015:

7.3 The Purchaser shall or shall procure that the Company or the relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group shall take such action as the Warrantors shall reasonably request to enforce such recovery as is mentioned in paragraph 7.1 against the third party in question and shall account to the Warrantors for any sums so recovered to the extent of the Warrantors’ liability under the Tax Claim (including any interest or repayment supplement paid by the third party, but after deducting all costs and expenses of such claim and any Tax payable on the amount recovered) provided that the Warrantors agree to fully indemnify the Purchaser in respect of all associated costs incurred by the Purchaser or the Company.

7.4 If:

7.4.1 the Warrantors do not request the Purchaser to take action pursuant to paragraph 7.2; or

8.2.2 if a Tax Liability which has resulted in the Warrantors having made a payment under this schedule or the Tax Warranties, or the circumstances giving rise to such Tax Liability, gives rise to a Relief then the amount of any Tax saved by the Company or the Purchaser after Completion as a result of that Relief shall be a Relevant Amount;

For the avoidance of doubt the liability of each of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall in each case include an aggregate of the amount equal to 100 per cent of the Consideration payable to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Gomersall and 100 per cent of the Consideration payable to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.

1.2 The aggregate liability of the Warrantors in respect of all General Warranty Claims (other than any General Warranty Claims which are Key Commercial Warranty Claims) shall not exceed £1,900,000.

3. Notice of General Warranty Claims

No Warrantor shall be liable for any General Warranty Claim unless the Purchaser has given notice to that Sellers’ Representative of such General Warranty Claim setting out reasonable details of the General Warranty Claim (including the grounds on which it is based and the Purchaser’s estimate of the maximum exposure with respect to the General Warranty Claim).

4. Time limits for General Warranty Claims

4.1 No Seller shall be liable for any General Warranty Claim unless the Purchaser has given notice to that Seller of such General Warranty Claim in accordance with paragraph 3 on or before:

4.1.1 in the case of any General Warranty Claim (other than a Key Commercial Warranty Claim), the Release Date; and

4.1.2 in the case of any Key Commercial Warranty Claim, on or before the date on which it would be barred from pursuing such Key Commercial Warranty Claim by the Limitation ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇.

4.2 Any General Warranty Claim notified in accordance with paragraph 3 shall (if not previously satisfied, settled or withdrawn) be deemed to have been irrevocably withdrawn 12 months after the expiry of the relevant time period set out in paragraph 4.1 (and no new General Warranty Claim may be made in respect of the same facts and same cause of action giving rise to such General Warranty Claim) unless on or before that date, legal proceedings have been issued in respect of the relevant General Warranty Claim, provided that:

4.2.1 in the case of a General Warranty Claim where there is a corresponding Defendant Claim or Recovery Claim or other third party claim, the time limit in paragraph 4.2 shall be extended so that it is the later of (a) 12 months after the expiry of the relevant time period set out in paragraph 4.1 and (b) 12 months from the date on which the corresponding Defendant Claim or Recovery Claim or other third party claim is withdrawn or finally settled or determined;

4.2.2 where such General Warranty Claim arises out of a liability which, at the time it is notified to the Sellers’ Representative, is contingent only, the time limit in paragraph 4.2 shall be extended so that it is the later of (a) 12 months after the expiry of the relevant time period set out in paragraph 4.1 and (b) 12 months from such contingent liability ceasing to be contingent.

8. Insurance

The Warrantors shall not be liable for a General Warranty Claim to the extent that the liability to which the General Warranty Claim relates has been recovered by the Company under a policy of insurance of the Company in place at Completion (less all reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred in recovering that sum and after deducting any increase in premiums payable by the Company).

9. Recovery from third parties

9.1 If the Purchaser or the Company recovers any sum from a third party in respect of any matter or circumstance giving rise to a General Warranty Claim before the Warrantors make a payment to the Purchaser in respect of the corresponding General Warranty Claim, the amount payable by the Warrantors in respect of the corresponding General Warranty Claim shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum recovered (less all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser or the Company in obtaining such recovery and less any Tax attributable to the recovery).

9.2 If the Warrantors pay an amount to the Purchaser in respect of a General Warranty Claim (“Claim Payment”) and, within 12 months of the making of that Claim Payment, the Purchaser subsequently recovers any sum in respect of any corresponding Recovery Claim, the Purchaser shall repay to the Warrantors an amount equal to the lesser of:

9.2.1 the sum recovered from the third party (less all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser or the Purchaser Group in relation to such Recovery Claim and less any Tax attributable to the Recovery Claim); and

9.2.2 the amount of the Claim Payment (less all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser or the Purchaser Group in relation to the relevant claim).

10. Voluntary acts

The Sellers shall not be liable in respect of any General Warranty Claim to the extent that the matter or circumstance giving rise to such General Warranty Claim arises or occurs as a result of any change in the accounting bases, policies, practices or methods applied in preparing the Accounts or valuing any assets or liabilities of the Company introduced after Completion (other than to the extent necessary to comply with the law or UK GAAP applying and in force on or prior to Completion).

11.1.2 any Defendant Claim has been, will be or is likely to be made.

Such notice shall not be a condition precedent to the liability of any Warrantor in relation to any General Warranty Claim, provided that such General Warranty Claim is notified in accordance with paragraph 4.

11.2 Subject always to paragraphs 11.3, 11.4 and 12, the Purchaser shall:

11.2.1 keep the Sellers’ Representative reasonably informed of the progress of, and all material developments in relation to a Defendant Claim; and

11.2.2 provide the Sellers’ Representative with copies of all material information and correspondence relating to the Defendant Claim.

Fulfilment of the obligations in this paragraph 11.2 shall not be a condition precedent to the liability of any Warrantor in relation to any General Warranty Claim, provided that such General Warranty Claim is notified in accordance with paragraph 4.

11.3 Each Claim Warrantor shall at all times keep confidential, and shall procure that he and the Sellers’ Representative shall at all times keep confidential, all information obtained by it pursuant to paragraph 11.1 and/or 11.2.

12.2 provide or allow access to any information that is regarded by the Purchaser as legally privileged in relation to a possible or actual claim;

Any third party which is entitled under the terms of this agreement to make any General Warranty Claim against the Warrantors or any of them shall be subject to the provisions of this schedule 4 as if it were the Purchaser.
