  (vi) any other matter which, but for this Clause, would reduce, vitiate or affect the obligations of the Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

13.7 Until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been unconditionally and irrevocably discharged or any time limit in this Agreement which applies to the relevant Guaranteed Obligations has expired, the Guarantor agrees that:

 

  (a) it will not make demand for the payment of any sum from the Seller connected with or in relation to the sum demanded by the Buyer or claim any set-off or counterclaim against the Seller or TIUK;

  (i) not admit liability or make any agreement, settlement or compromise with any person, body or authority in relation to that Third Party Claim without written consent of the Seller;

 

  (ii) take any action that that Seller reasonably requests to avoid, resist, dispute, appeal, compromise or defend that Third Party Claim; and

 

  (iii) in connection with proceedings relating to the Third Party Claim, use advisers nominated by the Seller and, if the Seller requests, allow the Seller the exclusive conduct of proceedings.

 

(b) The Buyer shall not be bound by Schedule 4 (Limitation of the Seller’s Liability) paragraph 9(a)(i) to paragraph 9(a)(iii) of this Schedule unless the Buyer and the relevant Target Group Member are indemnified against all reasonable costs and expenses incurred (including legal costs) in connection or as a result of the actions required to be taken by the Buyer or the relevant Target Group Member or the conduct of proceedings by the Seller.

 

(c) Nothing in Schedule 4 (Limitation of the Seller’s Liability) paragraph 9(a) shall impose an obligation on the Buyer or the Target Group Members to do anything which would (or would be reasonably likely to) have a material adverse effect on the reputation or the financial position of the Buyer or any of the Buyer’s Group Members.

10 Recovery from third parties

 

(a) Where the Buyer or the Company is or may be entitled to recover from any third party any sum in respect of any matter or event which is likely to give rise to a Claim under the Fundamental Warranties (including under the W&I Policy), the Buyer shall or shall procure that the person so entitled shall use all commercially prudent reasonable endeavours to recover that sum. The Buyer shall keep the Seller at all times fully and promptly informed of the conduct of such recovery. Any sum recovered by the Buyer or the Company (less any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Buyer or any Company in recovering the sum (including legal fees) and any Tax attributable to or suffered in respect of the sum recovered) will reduce the amount of such Claim under a Fundamental Warranty by an equivalent amount.

 

52


(b) Where the Buyer (or any assignee or successor in title thereof) is or may be entitled to recover from any person any sum in respect of any matter or event which is likely to give rise to a Claim under a Fundamental Warranty, the Buyer shall keep the Seller at all times reasonably informed of the conduct of such recovery to the extent it lawfully can.

 

(c) If such recovery is delayed until after the Claim under a Fundamental Warranty has been satisfied by the Seller, the Buyer shall repay to the Seller the amount so recovered (less any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Buyer in recovering the sum (including legal fees)). If the amount so recovered exceeds the amount of all Claims satisfied by the Seller, the Buyer shall be entitled to retain the excess, but this shall be set off against any future Claims under the Fundamental Warranties.

 

11 Mitigation

Nothing in this Schedule 4 (Limitation of the Seller’s Liability) or otherwise shall restrict or limit any obligation which the Buyer may have at common law to mitigate any loss or damage which it may suffer or incur as a consequence of any breach of this Agreement or in relation to any other matter, event or circumstance which gives rise to a Claim other than a Claim under the Tax Deed.

 

12 Buyer’s knowledge

The Buyer confirms that it is not aware of any matter that constitutes a breach of the Warranties other than as Disclosed in the First Disclosure Letter.

 

13 Fraud

Nothing in this Schedule 4 (Limitation of the Seller’s Liability) limits the liability of the Seller in respect of its own fraud.

(e) the Independent Accountants shall act as experts and not arbitrators and their determination shall (in the absence of fraud or manifest error) be final and binding; and

 

(f) the Independent Accountants’ costs shall be borne equally by the Buyer and the Seller unless the Independent Accountants consider it is fair and reasonable to apportion the costs otherwise and so direct.

(b) if the Seller and the Buyer reach an agreement within the ten Business Days specified in paragraph 7 of this Schedule, the Draft Completion Accounts and the Draft Completion NAV with such changes (if any) reflecting such agreed position shall be the Completion Accounts and the Final Completion NAV binding on both parties; or

 

(c) if the Independent Accountants have made a determination under paragraph 8 of Schedule 6, Part 1 (Preparation of the Completion Accounts), the Draft Completion Accounts and the Draft Completion NAV with such changes (if any) reflecting the determination made by the Independent Accountants shall be the Completion Accounts and the Final Completion NAV binding on both parties.

Schedule 10

Pre-exchange Reorganisation

Time Inc. (UK) Blue Fin Holdings Limited (No. 09759756) (the “Seller”) is incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Time Inc (UK) Ltd (“TIUK”).

TIUK subscribes for additional share capital in the Seller for an amount equal to: (i) Estimated NAV; plus (ii) an amount equal to the amount of a dividend to be paid by the Company to the Seller shortly after the date of this Agreement (the “Relevant Amount”). TIUK shall issue loan notes to the Seller for an amount equal to the Relevant Amount in consideration of such subscription (the “TIUK Loan Note”).

TIUK and the Seller enter into the Sale and Purchase Agreement for Seller to acquire all of the beneficial interest in the shares in the Company from TIUK (“Newco SPA”). Consideration for this is settled by the Seller assigning the TIUK Loan Note to TIUK (the TIUK Loan Note is thereby automatically cancelled).

On completion of the Newco SPA, a declaration of trust is entered into under which TIUK agrees to hold all of the shares in the Company as bare trustee for the Seller (the “Declaration of Trust”).

TIUK writes to HMRC claiming s.42 relief on the transfer of the beneficial interest in the shares in the Company from TIUK to the Seller.

As soon as reasonably practicable following completion of the Newco SPA, the Seller directs TIUK to transfer the legal interest in all of the shares in the Company to it. A stock transfer form in respect of all of the shares in the Company for nil consideration is executed under which TIUK transfers the legal interest in these shares to the Seller (the “STF”).

As soon as reasonably practicable after execution of the STF, the Company will hold a board meeting to resolve to update the Company’s statutory books to reflect the Seller as the sole shareholder of the Company, and the Company will then update such statutory books accordingly.
