The Buyer shall only make an election under Section 301.7701-3 of the Treasury Regulations for a Chello Group Company that is effective beginning on or prior to the Completion Date, or any comparable elections available under state or local Tax law, in connection with the Transactions (a "Tax Classification Election") (it being understood, however, that an election made to cause a Chello Group Company to have the classification set forth in Column (C) of Schedule 12 shall not be a Tax Classification Election) if it has received the prior written consent of the Sellers to do so. The Buyer shall only make an election under Section 338 of the Code for a Chello Group Company, or any comparable elections available under state or local Tax law, in connection with the Transactions (a "338 Election") (it being understood, however, that any election under Section 338 of the Code for CCE HU or CMC Inc shall not be a 338 Election, and shall for purposes of clauses this clause 10.28 be treated as having been consented to by the Sellers) if it has received the prior written consent of the Sellers to do so.

In the event the Buyer requests the Sellers' consent for a Tax Classification Election or 338 Election and pays the Sellers' reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of preparing such calculation, the Sellers shall provide, in a reasonably prompt manner, a calculation showing in reasonable details any incremental Taxes (determined on a "with-and-without" basis) that will be incurred by the Sellers' Retained Group Companies as a result of such Tax Classification Election or 338 Election (the "Incremental Tax Amount"). In the event the Buyer agrees in writing to pay, and within 90 days after entering into such agreement pays, the Incremental Tax Amount, the Sellers shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as having consented to the Tax Classification Election or 338 Election to which such Incremental Tax Amount relates. In connection with any Tax Classification Election or 338 Election, or otherwise where a Target Company, JV Company or Minority JV Company is classified for U.S. tax purposes as a partnership or disregarded entity, the allocation of purchase price (and liabilities) among the assets of the relevant Target Company, JV Company or Minority JV Company, as the case may be, shall be determined in accordance with clause 3.17 and the Buyer shall comply with the requirements of clause 3.17(i) with respect to such a determination. For purposes of this clause 10.28, the “with-and-without” basis for calculating incremental Taxes shall be determined in the following manner: (i) identify the relevant US federal, state and local Taxes and Reliefs of the Sellers' Retained Group Companies that have been affected by the Tax Classification Election or 338 Election, as the case may be, (ii) determine the aggregate amount of such Taxes incurred by the Sellers' Retained Group Companies (or for which Sellers are liable under this Agreement), and the net present value of such Reliefs utilized by the Sellers' Retained Group Companies (using the highest marginal tax rate in the applicable jurisdictions), after taking into account all of the Tax consequences of the Tax Classification Election or 338 Election, as the case may be and (iii) compare the result in (ii) to the hypothetical aggregate amount of such Taxes that would have been incurred by the Sellers' Retained Group Companies (or for which the Sellers' Retained Group Companies would have been liable under this Agreement), and the hypothetical net present value of such Reliefs that would have been utilized by the Sellers' Retained Group Companies (using the highest marginal rate in the applicable jurisdictions) if the Tax Classification Election or 338 Election, as the case may be, had not been made. In addition, (i) with respect to taxable years (or portions thereof) that begin on or after the Completion Date and end no later than the date (if any) that the ZELLC Shares are transferred to the Chello Zone Buyer pursuant to clause 5.10, the Sellers, the Buyer and their respective Affiliates shall cooperate and act reasonably regarding US federal, state and local Tax reporting with respect to ZELLC, including providing one another information reasonably requested in order to comply with relevant US federal, state or local Tax reporting obligations, and (ii) the Sellers shall procure that ZELLC makes (or has in effect) a valid election under Section 754 of the Code with respect to the taxable period that includes the date the ZELLC Shares are transferred to the Chello Zone Buyer pursuant to clause 5.10.

For purposes of this clause 10.29, the “with-and-without” basis for calculating incremental Taxes shall be determined in the following manner: (i) identify the relevant Taxes and Reliefs of the Sellers' Retained Group Companies and the Chello Group Companies that have been affected by the Buyer's Pre-Completion Restructuring Steps, as the case may be, (ii) determine the aggregate amount of such Taxes incurred by the Sellers' Retained Group Companies and the Chello Group Companies (or for which Sellers are liable under this Agreement), and the net present value of Reliefs (other than any Completion Reference Balance Reliefs or Ring-fenced Tax Assets) utilized by the Sellers' Retained Group Companies and the Chello Group Companies (using the highest marginal tax rate in the applicable jurisdictions), after taking into account all of the Tax consequences of the Buyer's Pre-Completion Restructuring Steps, as the case may be and (iii) compare the result in (ii) to the hypothetical aggregate amount of Taxes that would have been incurred by the Sellers' Retained Group Companies and the Chello Group Companies (or for which the Sellers would have been liable under this Agreement), and the hypothetical net present value of Reliefs (other than any Completion Reference Balance Reliefs or Ring-fenced Tax Assets) that would have been utilized by the Sellers' Retained Group Companies and the Chello Group Companies (using the highest marginal rate in the applicable jurisdictions) if the Buyer's Pre-Completion Restructuring Steps had not been implemented.

The business of each Chello Group Company must be operated in all material respects in the ordinary course of business as carried on in the 12 months prior to the date of this Agreement.
1.2
The Sellers shall make or cause to be made prior to the Completion Date such US tax classification elections pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3(c), which shall be effective beginning as of a date at least one day prior to the Completion Date and continuing through (and including) the Completion Date, as are necessary to treat the Chello Group Companies in the manner set forth in Column (C) of Schedule 13 for US federal income tax purposes.
1.3
The Sellers shall use reasonable endeavours to cause Liberty Uruguay Inc. to convert under Delaware law from a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited liability company and to remain as a Delaware limited liability company immediately prior to Completion.
1.4
Upon written notice from the Buyer provided no more than 15 Business Days after the Signing Date (and such notice to contain the number of shares to be issued by CCE HU provided that the Buyer, acting promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event by 10 December 2013, may update such number by subsequent written notice upon receiving additional information under clause 3.17, with such update to be given effect to the extent legally possible), the Sellers shall use reasonable endeavours to cause CCEEH to contribute the Atmedia POL Shares to CCE HU not more than 5 Business Days prior to the Completion Date, in exchange for such number of shares of CCE HU set out in the applicable written notice, and such newly issued shares shall become a part of the CCE HU Shares. In the event such contribution takes place, the Polish SPA shall not be entered into. Notwithstanding the Buyer having provided written notice pursuant to this paragraph 1.4, the parties acknowledge that in the event that the contribution of Atmedia POL Shares to CCE HU in exchange for CCE HU Shares cannot or does not for whatever reason take place, on Completion, the Buyer and the Sellers will nevertheless complete the Polish SPA in accordance with its terms and the Buyer and Sellers agree that any Conveyance Taxes payable on the sale, purchase and transfer of Atmedia POL Shares to the Buyer (or any Additional Buyer) pursuant to that Polish SPA shall be borne 50% by the Buyer and 50% by the Sellers.

- 109 -


direction as to whether the conversion shall be accomplished in a manner that results in recognition of gain or loss by CCE HU for Hungarian Tax purposes or, instead, that does not result in recognition of gain or loss by CCE HU for Hungarian tax purposes.

(c)
CMC Inc shall buy from ULAP on arm's length terms the Chello Latam Sale Shares, for cash consideration equal to the Latam Sale Price, provided that Sellers and the Buyer agree that the Latam Sale Price shall be deemed adjusted after Completion by the amount of any payment pursuant to clauses 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12 or 3.13 to the extent attributable to the Chello Latam Sale Shares (it being understood that the amount of any such payment that is so attributable shall be determined pursuant to clauses 3.17(d) through (e)); and
(d)
CMC Inc shall redeem from LMINT the CMC Inc Pref Shares on arm's length terms, for cash consideration equal to the Pref Share Redemption Price, provided that Sellers and the Buyer agree that the Pref Share Redemption Price shall be deemed adjusted after Completion by the amount of any payment pursuant to clauses 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12 or 3.13 to the extent attributable to the CMC Inc Pref Shares (it being understood that the amount of any such payment that is so attributable shall be determined pursuant to clauses 3.17(d) through (e)).
The Sellers and the Buyer shall consult and cooperate with one another in advance of the transactions described in Paragraphs 1.9(a) through (d).

(h)
to the extent that a Relief (other than a Buyer's Relief) is available to the relevant Consolidated Chello Company (or would have been available but for the use of the Relief to set against or mitigate a liability for which the Sellers are not liable under this Schedule 9) to set against or otherwise mitigate the Tax Liability provided it has not already been taken into account under paragraph 8 or paragraph 10 below;
(i)
to the extent that the Tax Liability would not have arisen or would have been reduced or eliminated but for any claim, election, surrender or disclaimer made or notice or consent given after Completion by the Buyer, an Additional Buyer, a Consolidated Chello Company or any other member of the Buyer's Group under the provisions of any enactment or regulation relating to Tax other than any claim, election, surrender, disclaimer, notice or consent assumed to have been made, given or done in the Final Completion Statement or carried out pursuant to and in accordance with the exercise by a Seller of its rights under paragraph 4 or 6, provided that (in a case where the Percentage Interest is less than 100%) the Buyer and/or any Additional Buyer(s) together have the legal rights sufficient to procure the making, giving or doing of the relevant claim, election, surrender, disclaimer, notice, consent or other thing by the relevant Consolidated Chello Company;

(k)
to the extent that the amount of the Tax Liability has been recovered from any person (excluding the Buyer, an Additional Buyer, a Consolidated Chello Company or any other member of the Buyer's Group but including a Tax Authority);
(l)
to the extent that the Tax Liability would not have arisen but for the failure of the Buyer to comply with its obligations contained in paragraph 4 or 6 below;
(m)
to the extent that (i) the Tax Liability relates to any Chello MovieCo Company, (ii) such Tax Liability arises as a consequence of or by reference to any transaction, act, event, circumstance, state of affairs or omission which occurs on or before the Acquisition Date (a "Historical CMC Tax Liability"), (iii) the Buyers or a Consolidated Chello Company have a right of recovery against, or an indemnity from, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc under the CMC SPA and (iv) an amount in respect of such Tax Liability is recovered or received by the Buyers or a Consolidated Chello

Company pursuant to that right of recovery or indemnity. The Buyer shall give notice to the Sellers of a Historical CMC Tax Liability which is or might be covered by this paragraph 5(d). If so required by the Seller in writing, the Buyer will or will ensure that (at the Seller's cost) the relevant Consolidated Chello Company will use all reasonable endeavours to enforce its rights to recover or receive any amounts referred to this paragraph 3.1(m) and any amounts so recovered shall be dealt with in accordance with paragraph 8.2;
(n)
to the extent the Tax Liability
(i)
is the responsibility of the Buyer under clause 10.28; or
(ii)
would not have arisen but for the implementation in accordance with this Agreement of the Buyer's Pre-Completion Restructuring Steps; or
(o)
where the Tax Liability arises in consequence of the disposal of the ZELLC Shares by CZHL to CMPFH (or another Seller's Retained Group Company) in accordance with paragraph 1.2(j) of Schedule 5, to the extent a Relief (other than a Buyer's Relief) would have been available to CZHL to set against or otherwise mitigate such Tax Liability but for a significant increase of capital (for the purposes of section 677 Corporation Tax Act 2010) of CZHL occurring as a result of any action taken by or in relation to CZHL after Completion;
4.
CONDUCT OF CLAIMS
4.1    
(a)
If the Buyer, an Additional Buyer or a Consolidated Chello Company becomes aware of any Potential Claim which could give rise to a liability for the Sellers under this Tax Covenant or for breach of any of the Tax Warranties, the Buyer must give notice to the Sellers of the Potential Claim (including reasonably sufficient details of the Potential Claim) as soon as possible (and in any event not more than 15 days after the Buyer, Additional Buyer or the relevant Consolidated Chello Company becomes aware of the Potential Claim) and must take (or procure that a Consolidated Chello Company will take) such action as the Sellers may reasonably request to avoid, dispute, resist, appeal, compromise or defend the Potential Claim or any matter relating to the Potential Claim.
(b)
The Sellers will (but in a case where the Percentage Interest is less than 100%; to the extent only that the Buyer and/or any Additional Buyer(s) together have the legal rights to procure it), have the right (if they wish) to control any proceedings taken in connection with the action referred to in paragraph 4.1(a) above, and must be kept fully informed of any material developments which occur or are proposed (including any meetings) and must be provided with copies of all material correspondence and documentation relating to the Potential Claim or action, and any other information, assistance and access to records and personnel as they reasonably request.
4.2
The Buyer:
(a)
will (but in a case where the Percentage Interest is less than 100%; to the extent only that the Buyer and/or any Additional Buyer(s) together have the legal rights to do so) procure that no matter relating to the Potential Claim as is referred to in paragraph 4.1 is settled or otherwise compromised without the Sellers' prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and
(b)
will, and will procure that each Additional Buyer, Consolidated Chello Company (but in a case where the Percentage Interest is less than 100%; to the extent only that the Buyer and/or any


- 152 -


Additional Buyer(s) together have the legal rights to do so) and each other member of the Buyer's Group and their advisers will, not submit any correspondence or return or send any other document to any Tax Authority or take any other action where the Buyer, any Additional Buyer, Consolidated Chello Company or another member of the Buyer's Group or their advisers is aware or could reasonably be expected to be aware that the likely effect of submitting the correspondence or return or sending the document or taking such action would be to put the Tax Authority on notice of any matter which could give rise to, or could increase, a claim under the Tax Covenant or for breach of any of the Tax Warranties provided that nothing in paragraph 4.2(b) shall require the Buyer to take or omit to take any action where to do so would be contrary to any legal or regulatory requirement, or which would give rise to a material Tax Liability for a Consolidated Chello Company for which the Sellers are not liable under this Schedule 9.
4.3
The Sellers shall keep the Buyer timely informed of any material developments in relation to any proceedings over which they have taken control pursuant to paragraph 4.1(b), and shall provide the Buyer with copies of all material correspondence and documentation and such other information as the Buyer reasonably requires in relation to such proceedings, and shall consult with the Buyer from time to time upon the Buyer's reasonable request about the conduct of such proceedings, and shall give the Buyer a reasonable opportunity to comment upon material correspondence or documentation proposed to be submitted to a Tax Authority or filed in relation to such proceedings and shall reflect the Buyer's reasonable comments in such correspondence and documentation.
4.4
If the Sellers do not request the Buyer to take or procure the taking of any appropriate action within 25 days of notice to the Sellers under paragraph 4.1 or (provided the Buyer has complied with its obligations under 4.1 above) if earlier, 5 days before any relevant external deadline, or do not indemnify the Buyer, the relevant Consolidated Chello Company and any other member of the Buyer's Group or Chello Group Company as stated in paragraph 4.5(c), the Buyer will be free to satisfy or settle the relevant Tax Liability on such terms as it may think fit, without prejudice to the Buyer's rights under the Transaction Documents.
4.5
The Buyer is not obliged to take action (including permitting the Sellers to control any proceedings) pursuant to paragraph 4.1:
(a)
which involves an appeal against any decision of a Tax Authority (other than any appeal which is principally of an administrative nature rather than being concerned with the merits of the tax-payer's position) without the Sellers having obtained an opinion from appropriate external Tax advisors of suitable skill and capability to the effect that either the appeal is more likely than not to succeed, or (if not) that to make the appeal is a reasonable course of action, having regard to the amounts involved, and the likelihood of success;
(b)
if any of the Sellers or, prior to Completion a Consolidated Chello Company, committed an act or is responsible for an omission which constitutes fraudulent or negligent conduct which relates to the Potential Claim; or
(c)
if the Sellers do not indemnify the Buyer, any relevant Consolidated Chello Company and any other member of the Buyer's Group or Chello Group Company (to the Buyer's reasonable satisfaction) against all costs reasonably and properly incurred in connection with any action referred to in paragraph 4.1 requested by the Sellers.
4.6
If a Seller has entered statutory processes which would, but for this paragraph 4.6, result in its rights under this paragraph 4 being exercisable by an insolvency practitioner, then such rights of that Seller shall (without prejudice to the rights of the other Sellers in respect of the matter) be terminated and shall cease to be exercisable.


- 153 -


5.

(ii)
which falls under limb (b) of the definition of that term, the day which is the later of: five Business Days after demand is made for payment by or on behalf of the Buyer, and three Business Days before Tax which would otherwise have been saved becomes due and payable to the relevant Tax Authority;

TAX RETURNS AND COMPUTATIONS
6.1
In respect of all Tax Returns and computations required to be filed by each Consolidated Chello Company for all of their Tax accounting periods beginning on or before Completion:
(a)
the Buyer shall (but in a case where the Percentage Interest is less than 100%, to the extent only that the Buyer and/or any Additional Buyer(s) together have the legal rights to do so) procure that each Consolidated Chello Company or its duly authorised agents will prepare and submit to the relevant Tax Authorities within applicable time limits all such Tax Returns and computations (to the extent not submitted prior to Completion), and shall do so in a manner and form consistent with those submitted prior to Completion;
(b)
to the extent that:


- 154 -


(i)
the normal practice prior to Completion was to have any such Tax Returns and computations prepared by external advisors;
(ii)
the normal practice prior to Completion was for such Tax Returns to be prepared by employees of a member of the Sellers' Group who are not employed by a Consolidated Chello Company as at Completion; or
(iii)
in relation to any question as to the basis on which a Tax Return should be prepared the normal practice prior to Completion would have been to refer such question to external advisors,
then the Sellers shall reimburse the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Buyer, an Additional Buyer or a relevant Consolidated Chello Company to external advisors in preparing such Tax Returns and computations (in so far as they relate to any Event occurring, or Income, Profits or Gains earned, accrued or received, on or before Completion) or in obtaining advice from external advisers in the circumstances referred to in (iii) above (in so far as the question on which the advice is being sought relates to a matter relevant to a period or part period prior to Completion) subject in each case to such external advisor costs having been approved by the Sellers (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and, without limitation, such approval shall be deemed to be unreasonably withheld where the quantum of the relevant costs is reasonably commensurate, taking into account inflation, with equivalent costs incurred prior to Completion);
(c)
the Buyer shall procure that all returns, computations, documents and substantive correspondence (but in the case of any Tax accounting periods ending after Completion; only in so far as they relate to any Event occurring, or Income, Profits or Gains earned, accrued or received, on or before Completion) are submitted in draft form by the relevant Consolidated Chello Company to the Sellers or their duly authorised agents for comment;
(d)
the Sellers or their duly authorised agent may comment on such returns, computations, documents and material correspondence within 20 Business Days of such submission to the Sellers pursuant to paragraph 6.1(c) and the Buyer shall not (and shall procure that each Additional Buyer and Consolidated Chello Company (but in a case where the Percentage Interest is less than 100%, to the extent only that the Buyer and/or any Additional Buyer(s) together have the legal rights to do so) shall not) submit or allow the submission of any such returns, computations documents and substantive correspondence without the Sellers' prior approval, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (but in the case of any Tax accounting periods ending after Completion; only in so far as they relate to any Event occurring, or Income, Profits or Gains earned, accrued or received, on or before Completion) but if the Buyer has not received any comments or the Sellers' approval within 20 Business Days of such submission to the Sellers pursuant to paragraph 6.1(c), the Sellers and their duly authorised agents will be deemed to have approved such draft documents;
(e)
the Buyer must (but in a case where the Percentage Interest is less than 100%, to the extent only that the Buyer and/or any Additional Buyer(s) together have the legal rights to do so) procure that all reasonable comments and suggestions made by the Sellers or their duly authorised agents pursuant to paragraph 6.1(d) above are reflected, and shall (but in a case where the Percentage Interest is less than 100%, to the extent only that the Buyer and/or any Additional Buyer(s) together have the legal rights to do so) procure that the Consolidated Chello Companies will at the request of the Sellers sign and submit to the relevant Tax Authority all such other documents and returns that the Sellers may request to give effect to the foregoing provisions provided that the Buyer will not be obliged to procure that a Consolidated Chello Company signs and submits a document to a Tax Authority which is not true, complete or accurate, or is intentionally misleading;


- 155 -


(f)
the Buyer must as soon as practicable deliver to the Sellers copies of all correspondence sent to or received from any Tax Authority but only insofar as such correspondence relates to any Event occurring, Tax accruing or Income, Profits or Gains earned, accrued or received, on or before Completion; and
(g)
the Sellers and the Buyer must each respectively afford (or procure the affordance) to the other or their duly authorised agents such information and assistance which may reasonably be required to agree all such outstanding Tax Returns and computations.
6.2
The Buyer undertakes (but in a case where the Percentage Interest is less than 100%, to the extent only that the Buyer and/or any Additional Buyer(s) together have the legal rights to do so) to procure that any Consolidated Chello Company will in respect of any time or period falling on or prior to the Completion Date make, give or enter into (and submit to the relevant Tax Authorities) such claims, elections, surrenders, notices or consents (whether unconditional or conditional, whether or not forming part of any other return or tax document, whether provisional or final, and including amendments to or withdrawals of earlier claims, elections, surrenders, notices or consents, whether or not made before or after Completion) and such other documents and returns as the Sellers shall direct in connection with any Surrender by any member of the Sellers' Tax Group to a Consolidated Chello Company or by or to any Consolidated Chello Company to or by another Consolidated Chello Company (provided that nothing in this paragraph 6.2 shall require any Consolidated Chello Company, the Buyer, or any member of the Buyer's Group to make any payment, or to procure the Surrender of any Buyer's Relief other than a Surrender of a Buyer's Relief that is a Ring-fenced Tax Asset that can be used or set-off without giving rise to a Deemed Tax Liability solely because such Surrender is a Permitted Utilisation or a Permitted Loss as those terms are defined in the definition of Ring-fenced Tax Assets in paragraph 1.1).
6.3
Except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement or required by Law, the Buyer shall not, and shall procure that no Additional Buyer, nor (but, where the Percentage Interest is less than 100%; to the extent only that the Buyer and/or any Additional Buyer(s) together have the legal rights to do so) any Consolidated Chello Company, nor any other member of the Buyer's Group shall, make, change, amend, refile or otherwise modify any Tax election (other than an election described in the next sentence) or Tax Return relating to any Consolidated Chello Company with respect to any Tax accounting period (or portion of a period) ending on or before Completion if such action could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any of the Sellers (or any member of the Sellers' Group) without the prior written consent of the Sellers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer shall be entitled to procure that ZELLC, Chello Latin America LLC and Chellomedia Serviços de Televisão do Brasil Ltda will make (or have in effect) a valid election under Section 754 of the Code for the taxable year of each such Chello Group Company (as determined for US federal income tax purposes) that includes the Completion Date and the Sellers shall use all reasonable efforts to assist and cooperate with the making of, and not take steps to prevent the making of, any such election. For each other Chello Group Company that will be classified as a partnership as of Completion as set forth in Column (C) of Schedule 13, if such Chello Group Company does not have in effect prior to Completion a valid election under Section 754 of the Code for the taxable year of such Chello Group Company (as determined for US federal income tax purposes) that includes the Completion Date, then the Sellers will use reasonable efforts to assist the Buyer in causing such an election to be made, including using reasonable efforts to procure the exercise of any applicable consent rights possessed by members of such Chello Group Company that are not members of the Sellers' Group (which efforts, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be construed to require the Sellers to make any form of compensatory payment to such members). In addition, the Sellers shall retain for at least five years following the Completion Date and, if requested by the Buyer during that period, shall promptly provide to the Buyer any elections pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3(c) (including any elections made pursuant to clause 1.2 of Schedule 4) or pursuant to Section 754 of the Code (including any elections made pursuant to this paragraph 6.3) with respect to any of the Chello Group Companies that members


- 156 -


of the Sellers' Group or Chello Group Companies have in their or their advisors' possession at the date of the Agreement or at any time between such date and Completion.
7.
NO WITHHOLDINGS
7.1
All sums payable by either party under this Agreement (including, but not limited to, this Schedule 9) must be paid free of and without any rights of counterclaim or set off, and without deduction or withholding on any ground whatsoever, save only as may be required by law. If any deduction or withholding is required by law (save in respect of interest under clause 20 of this Agreement) the payer must:
(a)
provide such evidence of the relevant withholding as the payee may reasonably require; and
(b)
pay to the payee such amount as will ensure that, after any the deduction or withholding has been made, the payee will have received a sum equal to the amount that the payee would otherwise have received in the absence of the deduction or withholding.
7.2
To the extent that any deduction or withholding in respect of which an additional amount has been paid under paragraph 7.1 results in the payee obtaining a Relief, the payee must pay to the payer, within 10 Business Days of the use or set off of the Relief, an amount equal to the lesser of the Tax saved as a result of such use or set off and the additional sum paid under paragraph 7.1 provided that the payee will not be obliged to pay to the payer an amount in excess of the amount which will leave it (after that payment) in the same after Tax position as it would have been in had there been no payment under this Agreement in respect of which such deduction or withholding arose.
7.3
If a payment made under paragraph 2, paragraph 9, clause 10, clause 16 or made for breach of any representation or warranty, or pursuant to any other covenant, undertaking, or indemnity contained in this Agreement (which shall not, for the avoidance of doubt, include any payment to the Sellers pursuant to clause 3), will be or has been subject to Tax, the Payer shall pay to the Payee the amount (after taking into account Tax payable in respect of the amount) that will ensure that the Payee receives and retains a net sum equal to the sum it would have received had the payment not been subject to Tax, provided that no such amount will be payable under this paragraph 7.3:
(a)
to the extent the Tax due on the payment in question has otherwise been taken into account in computing the sum payable;
(b)
to the extent the Tax due on the payment in question does not exceed that which would have been payable on the receipt of any amount the loss of which is intended to be compensated by the payment;
(c)
in the case of a payment to the Buyer or an Additional Buyer; to the extent such Tax would not have arisen had the recipient Buyer or Additional Buyer (or Additional Buyer on whose behalf the payment is received) been resident for Tax purposes in the Netherlands, the UK or the US.
7.4
No payer for the purposes of paragraphs 7.1 or 7.3 will be liable to make any payment under that paragraph to the extent that the payment exceeds that which would have been payable if the payee were the original Sellers or the Buyer or an Additional Buyer (as applicable) as at Completion.

8.
CORRESPONDING SAVINGS AND THIRD PARTY RECOVERY
8.1
If any Tax Liability which has resulted in a payment having been made by the Sellers under the Tax Covenant or for breach of any of the Tax Warranties has given rise to a Relief which would not otherwise have arisen, then:


- 157 -


(a)
the Buyer must procure that full details of such Relief are given to the Sellers as soon as reasonably practicable; and
(b)
to the extent that a liability to make an actual payment of Tax (other than Tax in respect of which Buyer would have a claim under paragraph 2) is reduced as a result of the use or set off of the Relief, the Buyer must pay, or procure that the relevant Additional Buyer shall pay, to the Sellers, on the date when the Buyer, an Additional Buyer or any Consolidated Chello Company would have been under an obligation to make the reduced payment of Tax, an amount equal to the lower of:
(i)
the amount by which the liability is reduced plus any interest or repayment supplement received in relation to the Relief; and
(ii)
the amount of the payment previously made by the Sellers in respect of the Tax Liability giving rise to the Relief,
and the Sellers shall be entitled to require that the relevant Consolidated Chello Company's auditors (acting as experts and not arbitrators) shall (at the Sellers' expense) certify the amount and date of use of the relief, which certification shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and binding on the parties.
8.2
If the Sellers at any time pay to the Buyer or an Additional Buyer an amount under the Tax Covenant or for breach of any of the Tax Warranties and the Buyer, an Additional Buyer or a Consolidated Chello Company or any other member of the Buyer's Group is or becomes entitled to recover from some other person (other than a member of the Buyer's Group but including any Tax Authority) a sum in respect of the matter giving rise to the payment (other than by reason of the use or set off of a Buyer's Relief), the Buyer, if so required by the Sellers, will (and will (but in a case where the Percentage Interest is less than 100%; to the extent only that the Buyer and/or any Additional Buyer(s) together have the legal rights to do so) procure that the relevant Consolidated Chello Company, Additional Buyer or member of the Buyer's Group will) subject to the Sellers having first agreed to indemnify (to the Buyer's reasonable satisfaction) the Buyer, the Additional Buyers, any relevant Consolidated Chello Company and any member of the Buyer's Group or Chello Group Company against all costs which they may reasonably incur in connection with the taking of the following action, take all reasonable steps to enforce the recovery (provided that neither the relevant Consolidated Chello Company nor the Buyer nor an Additional Buyer nor the relevant member of the Buyer's Group will be obliged to take any action which it reasonably considers to be prejudicial to its interests), and the Buyer must within two Business Days of the recovery, pay to the Sellers the lesser of:
(a)
the sum recovered by the Buyer, the Additional Buyer, the Consolidated Chello Company or the member of the Buyer's Group (as applicable) from the other person (including sums recovered in respect of costs and any interest or repayment supplement received in respect of the sum recovered, but less any costs of recovery not previously reimbursed and less any Tax chargeable on the sum recovered); and
(b)
the amount paid by the Sellers to the Buyer or an Additional Buyer as referred to above plus any interest or repayment supplement received in respect of the sum recovered, less any Tax chargeable thereon.
9.
SECONDARY LIABILITIES
9.1
The Buyer covenants with the Sellers to pay to the Sellers an amount equivalent to any Tax or any amount on account of Tax which any member of the Sellers' Tax Group is required to pay as a result of a failure


- 158 -


by a Consolidated Chello Company, or any other member of the Buyer's Tax Group, to discharge that Tax.
9.2
The Sellers covenant with the Buyer to pay to the Buyer an amount equivalent to the Relevant Percentage of any Tax or any amount on account of Tax which a Consolidated Chello Company is required to pay, and an amount equivalent to any Tax or any amount on account of Tax which any other member of the Buyer's Tax Group is required to pay, in each case as a result of a failure by any member of the Sellers' Tax Group to discharge that Tax.
9.3
The covenants contained in paragraphs 9.1 and 9.2 shall:
(a)
extend to any reasonable costs properly incurred in connection with the Tax or a successful claim under paragraph 9.1 or 9.2, as the case may be;
(b)
in the case of paragraph 9.1, not apply to Tax to the extent that the Buyer could claim payment in respect of it under paragraph 2 or for breach of the Tax Warranties, except to the extent a payment has been made pursuant to paragraph 2 or for breach of the Tax Warranties and the Tax to which it relates was not paid by the relevant Consolidated Chello Company or any person on its behalf;
(c)
not apply to Tax to the extent it has been recovered under any relevant statutory provision (and the Buyer or the Sellers, as the case may be, will procure that no recovery is sought to the extent that payment is made hereunder); and
(d)
in the case of paragraph 9.2, not apply to Tax that is within paragraph 3.1(n) of this Schedule.
9.4
Paragraphs 4 and 5 of this Schedule 9 (conduct of claims and payment of claims) shall apply to the covenants contained in paragraphs 9.1 and 9.2 as they apply to the covenants contained in paragraph 2, replacing references to the "Sellers" by the "Buyer" (and the other way round) where appropriate, and making any other necessary modifications.
10.
OVER PROVISIONS
10.1
If a Consolidated Chello Company shall receive:
(a)
a repayment of Tax in respect of any period before Completion which:
(i)
is not reflected in the Completion Reference Balance;
(ii)
does not arise from the use of a Buyer's Relief, and
(iii)
is not a Relief (A) to which paragraph 8 of this Schedule 9 (corresponding savings and third party recovery) applies, or (B) which has been taken into account under paragraph 3.1(h)), or (C) which would not have arisen but for an act of the Buyer or any Consolidated Chello Company or any member of the Buyer's Group after Completion within paragraph 3.1(d), (f), (g) or (i), or (D) which arises in consequence of any Event referred to in paragraph 3.1(c)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv); or
(b)
any interest or repayment supplement in relation to a repayment which:
(i)
is not reflected in the Completion Reference Balance; and
(ii)
does not arise from the use of a Buyer's Relief


- 159 -


an amount equal to the Relevant Percentage of the amount received shall first be set off against any payment then due from the Sellers pursuant to a Tax Claim, and to the extent there is an excess after any amounts have been so set off, the Buyer will (but in a case where the Percentage Interest is less than 100%, to the extent only that the Buyer and/or any Additional Buyer(s) together have the legal rights to do so) procure that the relevant Consolidated Chello Company will pay to the Sellers an amount equal to the Relevant Percentage of such excess within three Business Days of being in receipt.
10.2
If the Sellers become liable in respect of a Tax Claim, credit must be given to the Sellers against the liability for any amount referred to in paragraph 10.3 (a "Relevant Amount") which must be dealt with in accordance with paragraph 10.5.
10.3
A Relevant Amount for the purposes of paragraph 10.2 is the amount by which any provision for Tax contained in the Completion Reference Balance proves to be an over provision save to the extent that such overprovision arises in consequence of the use or set-off of a Relief (A) which is a Buyer's Relief, or (B) which has been taken into account under paragraph 3.1(g), or (C) which has been taken into account under paragraph 8 (corresponding savings and third party recovery), or (D) which would not have arisen but for an act of the Buyer or any Consolidated Chello Company or any member of the Buyer's Group after Completion within paragraph 3.1(d), (f), (g) or (i), or (E) which arises in consequence of any Event referred to in paragraph 3.1(c)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv)).

10.4
If the Buyer becomes aware that there are or may be Relevant Amounts, it must (or must (but in a case where the Percentage Interest is less than 100%, to the extent only that the Buyer and/or any Additional Buyer(s) together have the legal rights to do so) procure that a Consolidated Chello Company will) promptly inform the Sellers of that fact. If the auditors for the time being of a Consolidated Chello Company are requested by either of the parties to this Agreement to certify any of the amounts as are referred to above the relevant party must procure that the auditors are instructed to give and will (at the expense of the party requesting) give as soon as practicable the certificate and in so doing they will act as experts and not as arbitrators and (in the absence of manifest error) their decision will be final and binding on the parties hereto.
10.5
