pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Tax Authority in accordance with applicable law, regulation or regulatory requirement.

37.4
If, at any time after any increased payment is made by a party to this Agreement as a consequence of the application of clause 37.2, the recipient of that payment (in this clause 37.4, the payee) receives or is granted a credit against or remission from any Tax payable by it which it would not otherwise have received or been granted, the payee shall, to the extent that it can do so without prejudicing the retention of the amount of such credit or remission, reimburse the party to this Agreement that made the payment with such amount as shall leave the payee (after such reimbursement) in no worse a position than it would have been in had the circumstances giving rise to the increased payment not in fact arisen. Such reimbursement shall be made not later than ten Business Days after the payee receives or is granted such credit.

37.5
The US Buyer shall be entitled to withhold any amounts (determined in the US Buyer’s reasonable discretion) that are required to be withheld from the MRO Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1445 of the Code; provided, however, that if BSC furnishes to the Buyer a duly completed and authorised withholding certificate described in: (i) United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(b)(2) that BSC is not a “foreign person” for U.S. federal income tax purposes; or (ii) United States Treasury
Regulations Sections 1.1445-2(c) and 1.897-2(h) that none of the assets being transferred by BSC is a “United States real property interest” within the meaning of Section 897(c) of the Code, (each a FIRPTA Withholding Certificate), the US Buyer shall not be entitled to withhold any amounts from the MRO Purchase Price pursuant to this clause 37.5. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any amount withheld and paid over to the appropriate Tax Authority pursuant to this clause 37.5 shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to BSC.

37.6
If a Tax Authority charges to Tax (including where the sum is brought into any computation of income, profits or gains but is not charged to Tax because of the use of a Buyer’s Relief) any sum paid in respect of a Relevant Claim, a Claim in respect of a Specific Indemnity, the Product Defect Indemnity or the A320 Neo TR Indemnity, or a Claim under clause 11, the relevant Seller shall pay to the relevant Buyer or its successor or assign such additional amount as will ensure that the relevant Buyer, its successor or assign shall receive and retain the amount that is equal to the amount it would have received and retained had the payment in question not been charged to Tax (after taking into account any credit in respect of such Tax). The provisions of this clause 37.6 shall only apply to the extent that they would apply: (i) in the case of a payment to the UK Buyer or a successor or assign of the UK Buyer (subject to clause 39.2), to a buyer resident for Tax purposes in the United Kingdom (and not liable to Tax elsewhere) at the time that any sum is brought into charge; and (ii) in the case of a payment to the US Buyer or to a successor or assign of the US Buyer (subject to clause 39.2), to a buyer resident for Tax purposes in the United States of America (and not liable to Tax elsewhere) at the time that any sum is brought into charge.

b.
any sum is received by any Sale Group Company which has previously been written off as irrecoverable in the accounts of that Sale Group Company,

Contingent and unquantifiable liabilities

11.4
If any Relevant Claim (other than a Tax Claim) is made within the time limits referred to in paragraph
2.3 in respect of a liability which, at the time such claim is notified to the Sellers, is contingent or is unquantifiable, then:

(a)
the Sellers shall not be under any obligation to make any payment in respect of such Relevant Claim to the extent (but only to the extent) that such liability is contingent or unquantifiable unless and until such liability ceases to be contingent or unquantifiable;

(b)
the Buyers shall provide to the Sellers all such information as is in or comes into its or the relevant Sale Group Company's possession in connection with such Relevant Claim as soon as reasonably practicable;

(c)
where such liability is unquantifiable the Buyers shall use all reasonable endeavours to quantify such liability as soon as possible;

(d)
paragraph 2.4 shall be amended in relation to such Relevant Claim so as to require legal

LONDON:618810.5N




proceedings to be commenced within 6 months of the date on which such liability ceases to be contingent or becomes capable of being quantified, as the case may be; and

may be, within 9 months of the expiry of the relevant time limit referred to in paragraph 2.3, the Sellers shall cease to be liable for such Relevant Claim.

11.5
For the purposes of this paragraph 11, a liability shall only be unquantifiable if it is of a nature which is capable of precise determination but which is not at the relevant time capable of determination on the basis of the information available to any member of the Buyers’ Group and a liability shall not be unquantifiable simply because the Buyer needs to make further enquiries or undertake further investigations in order to determine the amount of any such loss.

12
Waiver of set off rights

Each Buyer hereby waives any and all rights of set-off, counter-claim, deduction or retention in respect of any claim or any payment which that Buyer may be obliged to make (or procure be made) to any of the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents which it might otherwise have by virtue of any Relevant Claim or Tax Deed Claim.

13
Fraud

14
Successful claims constitute reduction in Purchase Price

The satisfaction by any of the Sellers of any claim under this Agreement (including the Warranties) and/or a Tax Deed shall be deemed to constitute a reduction in the consideration payable by the Buyers for the purchase of:

(a)
the Shorts Shares, in the case of BAUK where the subject matter of the claim relates to the Shorts Shares;

(b)
the BANA Shares, in the case of BI;

(c)

Mitigation

Each Buyer shall (and shall procure that each member of the Buyers’ Group shall) take reasonable steps to mitigate any event or Loss suffered by it (or such member of the Buyers’ Group) which has resulted in or which is reasonably likely to result in a Relevant Claim other than a claim under or in respect of a Tax Deed.
