6.6 Each of the Warranties is separate and, unless specifically provided, is not limited by reference to any other Warranty or anything in this Agreement. Each of the defend, hold harmless and indemnification obligations of the Seller shall be construed as a separate defend, hold harmless and indemnification obligation and shall not be limited or restricted by reference to or inference from the terms of any other defend, hold harmless and indemnification obligation.

6.7 The Seller agrees that any information supplied by the Company or by or on behalf of any of the employees, directors, agents or officers of the Company (Officers) to the Seller or its advisers in connection with the Warranties, the information Disclosed in the Disclosure Letter or otherwise shall not constitute a warranty, representation or guarantee as to the accuracy of such information in favour of the Seller, and the Seller hereby undertakes to the Buyer and to the

7. CLAIMS BY THE BUYER

7.1 All Claims by the Buyer shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a) Claim Notices. In the event that (x) any claim, demand or proceeding is asserted, notified or instituted by any person (including by any Governmental Authority) other than the Parties and their respective Affiliates which, if successful, could give rise to Damages for which the Seller would be liable to the Buyer hereunder (any such claim, demand or proceeding, a “Third Party Claim”), or (y) the Buyer shall have a claim against the Seller which does not involve a Third Party Claim (any such claim, a “Direct Claim”), the Buyer shall send to the Seller a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) specifying the factual basis of such claim and the amount or a good faith estimated amount of related Damages (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim), all with reasonable particularity and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which a right to Claim is made, together with such readily available supporting evidence as may reasonably be required by the Seller to assess the merits of the claim and the computation or estimate of Damages.

(b) Time for Claim Notice. The Buyer shall send a Claim Notice as soon as is reasonably practicable after the Buyer (including the Company) first becomes aware of a Claim (which in the case of a Direct Claim includes when the facts upon which such claim is based) and in the event of a Third Party Claim by no later than thirty (30) days of receipt (including by the Company) of actual notice of such Third Party Claim, but in any event within the applicable survival period set out in cause 7.9. Failure to comply with this time period shall not preclude the Buyer from raising a Claim

against the Seller, provided however that any Damages resulting from the delay in providing the Claim Notice that can be proven by the Seller will result in a reduction of such amount from the amount of the Claim which could otherwise be made by the Buyer against the Seller.

(c) Direct Claims. In the event of a Direct Claim, the Seller shall have thirty (30) days following its receipt of the relevant Claim Notice or, if the amount of the Direct Claim was not determined at the time of the Claim Notice, the date on which the amount of the Direct Claim has been notified to it by the Seller (the “Direct Claim Review Period”) to make such investigation of the underlying Claim as it considers necessary or desirable. During the Direct Claim Review Period, the Parties shall use their respective reasonable endeavours to reach an agreement with respect to the validity and the amount of the Direct Claim. If the Parties agree, on or prior to the expiration of the Direct Claim Review Period, upon the validity and the amount of such Direct Claim, the Seller shall pay to the Buyer, within ten (10) Business Days following the date of such agreement, the full agreed amount of such Direct Claim.

(d) Third Party Claims.

(i) Third Party Claim Review Period. In the event of a Third Party Claim, the Seller shall have thirty (30) days following its receipt of the relevant Claim Notice (the “Third Party Claim Review Period”) to make such investigation of the underlying claim as it considers necessary or desirable. During the Third Party Claim Review Period, the Parties shall use their respective reasonable endeavours to reach an amicable solution with respect to such Third Party Claim.

Subject to the admission of liability aforesaid, if the Seller exercises its right to control the said defence, then the Buyer shall take (and shall procure that the Company takes)

The Buyer may assist, at its expense, in the defence of any Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice, reasonably acceptable to the Seller. The Seller shall keep the Buyer reasonably informed of the development of the underlying claim.

(B) In the event that the Seller (x) shall not assume control of the defence of a Third Party Claim with reasonable promptness after written notice to such effect by the Buyer, or (y) shall notify the Buyer of its intention not to assume control of the defence of a Third Party Claim, the Buyer shall conduct (or shall procure that the Company conducts) the defence of such Third Party Claim (subject to subsection (iv) below) in good faith and using all reasonable means and defences available to it. The Seller may assist, at its expense, in the defence of any Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice, reasonably acceptable to the Buyer. The Buyer shall keep the Seller reasonably informed of the development of the underlying claim.

(iii) Counterclaim and Cross-Claim.

7.2 The Buyer shall use its reasonable endeavours (and shall procure that the Company uses its reasonable endeavours) to mitigate any Damages resulting from or arising out of any matters giving rise to a Claim.

7.3 No amount shall become due and payable by the Seller (x) in respect of any Claim arising by reason of a contingent liability, unless and to the extent that such contingent liability ceases to be contingent and has become an actual liability (without prejudice to the right of the Buyer to raise a Claim in respect of the contingent liability as and when such liability arises); and (y) in respect of any Third Party Claim unless and to the extent that the Buyer has paid or settled the Third Party Claim.

7.4 In calculating the amount of any Damages which may be due and payable by the Seller as a result of any Claim brought by the Buyer there shall be deducted:

7.8 Except for (a) Tax matters, which are specifically regulated in Section 9 and specifies the Tax Indemnity Period; (b) Claims for breaches of any of the Warranties set forth in clauses 1 through 4 of Schedule 5, which shall survive Closing and continue until time-barred by applicable Laws; (c) Claims for breach of the Warranties set forth in Section 22 and (d) the Well Indemnity which shall each survive Closing until the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Seller is not liable for a Claim unless the Buyer shall have issued a Claim Notice to the Seller within the period of 18 (eighteen) months beginning with the Closing Date.

7.9 Where the Seller has received a valid Claim Notice within the applicable survival period provided for the claim set out in the Claim Notice, then notwithstanding the expiry of the applicable survival period the Buyer shall be entitled to recover Damages with respect to such claim referenced in the Claim Notice if the Buyer has commenced proceedings under Clause 22.2 within six (6) months of the date of such Claim Notice.

7.10 The Buyer specifically acknowledges that the Purchase Price agreed between the Parties takes account of the limitations on the liability of the Seller as specified in this Clause 7 as contemplated by Section 314 (2) of the Act No. IV of 1959 of the Civil Code of the Republic of Hungary.
