be earned, accrued or received) or attributable to any act, omission or transaction
occurring (or deemed to have occurred) on or before Completion; or

EFTA01119528

intended to bring the accounting policy into line with generally accepted accounting

grantor.
10.2 No variation to this Agreement shall be of any effect unless it is agreed in writing and signed by
or on behalf of each Party.

payment by the Seller under this Agreement or it ignoring any Relief, the Purchaser is subject
to Taxation in respect of any such payment, the Seller shall increase the amount of the payment
by such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount received and retained by
the Purchaser (after taking account of all deductions or any withholdings or other Taxation) is
equal to the amount that it would have received and retained had the payment in question not
been subject to any deductions or any withholdings or other Taxation.
10.7 This Agreement and any other documents required to be delivered or entered into at Completion
under the terms of Schedule 3 constitute the whole and only agreement and understanding
between the Parties in relation to the subject matter of this Agreement. Except in the case of

liabilities arising by reason of them, whether accrued or not at the date of this Agreement, are
cancelled) to the extent that they have such a bearing.
10.8 This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the Parties on different
counterparts. Each counterpart shall constitute an original of this Agreement but all the
counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement.
10.9 Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer on any person any right to enforce any term of
this Agreement which that person would not have had but for the Contracts (Rights of Third
