8.12

The Seller shall prepare a statement showing the calculation of the Interim Cash Flow (the Interim Cash Flow statement), and shall submit the statement to the Buyer, within twenty (20) Business Days of the Delayed Transfer Date.

to the Buyer of the Interim Cash Flow statement. Any such payment shall be subject to finalisation following the process referred to in Clause 8.20, and shall not be subject to the provisions of Clause 23.9.

8.14

If the amount of the Interim Cash Flow is a negative number the Buyer shall procure that the Delayed NSC shall pay within five (5) Business Days of the issue to the Buyer of the Interim Cash Flow statement the amount of the Interim Cash Flow by way of telegraphic transfer of funds for same day value to the account of the Seller Group entity previously holding the Delayed NSC notified by the Seller to the Buyer by close of business two (2) Business Days after the issue to the Buyer of the Interim Cash Flow statement. Any such payment shall be subject to finalisation following the process referred to in Clause 8.20, and shall not be subject to the provisions of Clause 23.9.

8.15

If there is any indebtedness owed by a NSC Newco as at close of business on the Delayed Transfer Date to a member of the Seller Group, then the amount of such indebtedness as set out in the Interim Cash Flow statement will (subject to such amount being finalised following the process referred to in Clause 8.20) be paid by the Buyer (for and on behalf of the NSC Newco) within five (5) Business Days of the issue to the Buyer of the Interim Cash Flow statement by way of telegraphic transfer of funds for same day value to the account notified by the Seller to the Buyer by close of business two (2) Business Days after the issue to the Buyer of the Interim Cash Flow statement in full and final settlement of the indebtedness owed by the relevant NSC Newco to the relevant member of the Seller Group.

8.16

Within five (5) Business Days of the issue to the Buyer of the Interim Cash Flow statement the Buyer shall pay or procure the payment to the Seller of the NSC Set Up Costs for the relevant Delayed NSC, and pay or procure the payment of an amount equal to any Carve-out Cash in each case by way of increase in the Purchase Price, and shall procure that any amount owed in respect of NSC Debt is promptly settled, and the Seller shall pay to the Buyer an amount equal to any Carve-out Debt by way of reduction in the Purchase Price in every case by way of telegraphic transfer of funds for same day value by close of business two (2) Business Days after the issue to the Buyer of the Interim Cash Flow Statement to the account notified to the payer. Any such payments shall be subject to finalisation following the procedures referred to in Clause 8.20.

8.17

In relation to any Delayed NSC transferred to a relevant NSC Newco which is itself transferred to the Buyer, or where a Delayed NSC is transferred to the Buyer, a Target Company or to a Third Party Importer the parties agree that the terms of this Clause 8 are based on the following assumptions (which for the avoidance of doubt do not refer to or include VAT):

8.17.1

any payment of Interim Cash Flow to a Delayed NSC or otherwise at the direction of the Buyer pursuant to this Clause 8 or to or otherwise at the direction of the Seller shall be paid by the payer without any withholding or deduction on account of any Tax;

8.17.2

any payment of Interim Cash Flow to or otherwise at the direction of the Seller shall not be subject to Tax in the hands of the recipient;

8.17.3

the Operating Profit or Loss shall not be included in the financial statements or Tax returns of any Seller Group member and shall instead be included in the financial statements and Tax returns of the NSC Newco, Target Company or other member of the Buyer’s Group, as appropriate;

8.17.4

the Operating Profit or Loss shall be taxed in (if a profit) or give rise to reliefs in (if a loss) the NSC Newco, Target Company or the Buyer (as the case may be) as if it were a profit or a loss generated by the NSC Newco, Target Company or other member of the Buyer’s Group from its own operations;

8.17.5

the Operating Profit or Loss shall not be taxed in (if a profit) or give rise to reliefs in (if a loss) a member of the Seller Group.

8.18

To the extent any deduction or withholding on account of any Tax referred to in Clause 8.17.1 or an amount of tax referred to under Clause 8.17.2 would give rise to any actual economic cost to the payee after taking into account any credit, refund or remission from any Tax arising in respect of the Interim Cash Flow, then the parties shall use their best endeavours and cooperate to explore ways to restructure or otherwise recharacterise the payment of the Interim Cash Flow to avoid such deduction or withholding on account of Tax or amount of Tax, or to secure that there is no economic cost in respect of such deduction, withholding or amount suffered by the payee. For the avoidance of doubt if the parties do not reach an alternative solution, the withholding or deduction on account of Tax shall be dealt with under Clause 8.19.

8.19

In the event that the assumptions referred to in paragraph 8.17 are incorrect:

(a)

if the Buyer’s Group has a Net After Tax Benefit and the Seller Group has a Net After Tax Deficit, the Buyer shall make a payment or procure that a payment is made to the Seller or such party as the Seller directs equal to the lower of the Buyer’s Group’s Net After Tax Benefit and the Seller Group’s Net After Tax Deficit, subject to a minimum reimbursement equal to 50% of the Seller Group’s Net After Tax Deficit;

(b)

if the Seller Group has a Net After Tax Benefit and the Buyer’s Group has a Net After Tax Deficit, the Seller shall make a payment or procure that a payment is made to the Buyer or such party as the Buyer directs equal to the lower of the Seller Group’s Net After Tax Benefit and the Buyer’s Group’s Net After Tax Deficit, subject to a minimum reimbursement equal to 50% of the Buyer’s Group’s Net After Tax Deficit;

(c)

not without the prior written consent of the Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) agree to amend the Global LSA to the extent that such amendment would directly or indirectly adversely and materially affect any of the Ford-Caterpillar Contracts or the JLR-Caterpillar Contracts; and

(a)

is wrongly identified in the Employee Lists referred to in the Disclosure Letter as an employee of a Target Company, he/she shall where secondments are lawful under the Laws of the relevant Territory be treated as a Secondee (in accordance with the arrangements referenced in Clause 16.11 below). Where secondments are not lawful under the Laws of the relevant Territory the Seller and the Buyer shall in good faith seek to agree appropriate contractual arrangements whereby the individual is treated as a JLR Wrong Pocket Employee; or

(b)

16.3

To the extent reasonable, the Seller and the Buyer shall seek to adopt a collaborative approach to the Collective Consultation Requirements. The Seller shall procure that no information, consultation or notification with any employee or Representative Body is carried out by or on behalf of the Seller, any Target Company or any company within the Seller Group in connection with the intentions of the Buyer in relation to the business of JLR, without obtaining the prior written approval of the Buyer.

16.4

It is agreed by the Buyer and the Seller that the Seller shall comply with its obligations pursuant to Clauses 7 and 8 of this Sale and Purchase Agreement in respect of the Reserved Territory in relation to: (i) the transfer of employment of JLR Employees; (ii) the establishment of a NSC Newco; (iii) the sale of the NSC Newco to the Buyer; and (iv) Clause 8.5 in respect of the transfer of the Embedded NSC Assets and Assumed Liabilities on the NSC Long Stop Date, in each case after the relevant member of the Seller Group and/or the relevant Target Company and/or NSC Newco (as the case may be) have complied with all Collective Consultation Requirements in respect of such obligations.

16.5

Subject to Clause 16.4 of this Sale and Purchase Agreement (in respect of the Reserved Territory), the Seller shall use reasonable endeavours in collaboration with the Buyer to procure that each NSC Transferring Employee is employed by

the NSC Newco (or, as the case may be, a Target Company) in the relevant jurisdiction on or before the later of the Completion Date (or in respect of a Delayed NSC, the Delayed Transfer Date) on terms and conditions of employment as the Buyer may reasonably stipulate which shall in any event be no less favourable in aggregate than their current terms and conditions (including but without limitation any current terms and conditions relating to membership of pension arrangements and the benefit structure thereunder) as have been disclosed to the Buyer prior to 30 April 2008 (such terms to be provided by the Buyer in writing in a timely fashion sufficiently in advance of the Completion Date or Delayed Transfer Date but in any event in any jurisdiction not before the earlier of 30 April 2008 and such time that the Seller has confirmed to the Buyer that it has provided the Buyer with complete and accurate details of the current terms and conditions of the NSC Transferring Employees in that jurisdiction) or, in default of any such terms and conditions being stipulated by the Buyer, the Seller shall use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the NSC Transferring Employees are employed by the NSC Newco (or, as the case may be, a Target Company) on terms and conditions which are the same as or no less favourable than their current terms and conditions (including but without limitation any current terms and conditions relating to membership of pension arrangements and the benefit structure thereunder) as disclosed to the Buyer prior to 30 April 2008. The parties acknowledge the Seller is under no obligation to offer financial incentives in order to comply with this Clause. The Seller may at its discretion require any NSC Transferring Employee to waive (in a manner in which the Seller is reasonably satisfied is legally effective) any entitlement to redundancy or severance payments which would otherwise be payable on the termination of his employment with the relevant member of the Seller Group or any legal claims arising out of such termination. In respect of any Delayed NSC the Buyer shall, to the extent that the relevant Target Company or NSC Newco is under the ultimate ownership or operational control of the Buyer, use all reasonable endeavours to assist the Seller in procuring that such NSC Transferring Employees are employed by the NSC Newco or Target Company on or before the Delayed Transfer Date, including where necessary by procuring that the NSC Newco or Target Company makes offers of employment to the NSC Transferring Employees in accordance with the terms of this Clause 16.5, in collaboration with the Seller.

16.6

If a NSC Transferring Employee:

16.6.1

objects to the transfer of his/her employment to a NSC Newco (or, as the case may be, a Target Company);

16.6.2

declines an offer of employment from a NSC Newco (or, as the case may be, a Target Company) made pursuant to the Seller Group’s obligations under Clause 16.5;

16.6.3

fails to accept before the Completion Date or Delayed Transfer Date (as applicable) an offer of employment from a NSC Newco (or, as the case may be, a Target Company) made pursuant to the Seller Group’s obligations under Clause 16.5; or

16.6.4

resigns in circumstances where their employment ends prior to Completion or, if later, any Delayed Transfer Date;

the Seller will notify the Buyer forthwith and, upon the written request of the Buyer, use all reasonable endeavours to persuade the NSC Transferring Employee to become employed by the NSC Newco (or, as the case may be, a Target Company), but the Seller shall not otherwise be required to take any further steps to comply with its obligation under Clause 16.5.

16.7

Subject to the Clauses 16.1, 16.14, 16.15 and 16.16, the Seller shall procure that no NSC Newco shall prior to the Completion Date (or, if later, the Delayed Transfer Date) offer employment to any person other than a NSC Transferring Employee without the prior approval of the Buyer, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld (save to the extent that ultimate ownership or operational control of the NSC Newco has passed to the Buyer).

16.8

The Buyer agrees to indemnify the Seller in respect of its share of any such Losses and Liabilities (subject to the Seller providing the Buyer with such information as the Buyer may reasonably request verifying the amount of such Losses and Liabilities in respect of each relevant employee, including copies of any relevant termination agreements and information showing the basis for calculating the amount payable to each relevant employee) and the Seller agrees to indemnify the Buyer in respect of its share of any such Losses and Liabilities. The relevant member of the Seller Group shall use all reasonable endeavours to minimise any such Losses and Liabilities (but having regard to Clauses 16.8.3 and 16.8.5). In this Clause 16.8 Severance Payment shall mean:

16.8.1

any payments made by a member of the Seller Group which are (i) contractually due, or (ii) due pursuant to the Laws of the Territory in which the NSC Transferring Employee is employed, in either case to any NSC Transferring Employee by reason of the termination of their employment (including without limitation any notice or payment in lieu of notice but subject to Clause 16.8.3 excluding any payments in respect of any remuneration or other benefits in relation to the employment of any NSC Transferring Employee in respect of the period up to the termination of any NSC Transferring Employee’s employment). For the avoidance of doubt, Severance Payments includes (as applicable) any retirement allowance payments due on termination in Japan;

16.8.4

any current salary or other benefit costs payable to a NSC Transferring Employee following Completion (or, in respect of a Delayed NSC, following the Delayed Transfer Date) where the relevant member of the Seller Group is delayed or prevented from terminating the NSC Transferring Employee’s employment by Law (or where such delay is otherwise agreed in writing between the parties); and

16.8.5

subject to the consent of the Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) any enhanced terms or payments (in excess of the terms or payments referred to at Clauses 16.8.1 to 16.8.4) which the Seller reasonably determines in good faith are necessary to bring the total severance package for the NSC Transferring Employee into line with (but not in excess of) market practice in that Territory.

For the avoidance of doubt the Buyer shall not be required to contribute to any ex-gratia payment offered by the Seller to any NSC Transferring Employee on the termination of their employment (save as required in Clauses 16.8.3 and 16.8.5) unless it has given its prior written consent.

16.9

16.12

16.13

The Seller and the Buyer agree that this Clause 16 and the Ford US Secondment Agreement and other Secondment Agreements shall be subject to the requirements of Schedule 11 in any case where Schedule 11 imposes additional obligations on either party in respect of pensions and related benefits.

16.14

Nothing in Schedule 7 or Clause 17 shall prevent any member of the Seller Group from making an offer of employment to each Seller Wrong Pocket Employee, with any such offer to commence with effect from the Completion Date. If such offer is accepted by a Seller Wrong Pocket Employee, that person shall cease to be a JLR Employee.

16.15

Nothing in Schedule 7 or Clause 17 shall prevent a Target Company or JLR Subsidiary from making an offer of employment to each JLR Wrong Pocket Employee, with any such offer to commence with effect from the Completion Date. If such offer is accepted by a JLR Wrong Pocket Employee, that person shall become a JLR Employee in the relevant Territory.

the Seller and the Buyer shall procure that as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Sale and Purchase Agreement, a duly authorised member of the Seller Group and JLR shall each identify for each Shared Services Territory how many of the Shared Services Employees they will require from Completion and produce a description of the positions available within their respective organisational structures for which the Shared Services Employees shall be eligible to apply;

16.16.2

once the duly authorised member of each of the Seller Group and JLR have completed the steps envisaged in Clause 16.16.1, the Seller and the Buyer shall procure that on an agreed date the lists of available positions are then made available to the Shared Services Employees in the relevant Shared Services Territory and that such Shared Services Employees are invited by the relevant member of the Seller Group and JLR to apply for any of those positions for which such Shared Services Employees would like to be considered, provided that if one party is not ready to publish its list of available positions by sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of Completion (or in the case of a Delayed NSC sixty (60) days before the anticipated Delayed Transfer Date) the other party may proceed to unilaterally publish its list and to make offers in accordance with Clause 16.16.3, save for any Territory where Completion is anticipated to take place on or before 1 June 2008 in which case the relevant date shall be forty-five (45) days prior to the anticipated date of Completion (or, in the case of a Delayed NSC, forty-five (45) days prior to the Delayed Transfer Date);

16.16.3

the Seller and the Buyer shall procure that the relevant member of the Seller Group and JLR select those Shared Services Employees to whom they wish to make offers from those who have applied and shall make offers of employment to commence with effect from the Completion Date (or in the case of a Delayed NSC, with effect from the Delayed Transfer Date) giving the Shared Services Employee a reasonable period of time in which to accept the offer of employment. Where the job offered is the same as or substantially similar to that person’s current job or is on the same grade (or any comparable grade if the grading system used is different) the terms of the offer must be no less favourable in aggregate than the person’s current terms and conditions (including but without limitation any current terms and conditions relating to membership of pension arrangements and the benefit structure thereunder) as have been disclosed to the Buyer prior to 30 April 2008. All offers of employment shall be made as early as possible in the process and ideally at least forty-five (45) days before the anticipated date of Completion (or in the case of a Delayed NSC, at least forty-five (45) days before the Delayed Transfer Date), but in any event must be made no later than fifteen (15) days before the anticipated date of Completion (or in the case of a Delayed NSC, no later than fifteen (15) days before the Delayed Transfer Date). The Shared Services Employee shall be given fifteen (15) days in which to accept any offer made;

16.16.4

the Seller and the Buyer shall procure that the relevant member of the Seller Group and JLR identify to each other those Shared Services Employees who have accepted offers;

16.16.5

the Seller and the Buyer shall procure that any Shared Services Employee who accepts an offer made under this process shall be released from his/her notice obligations and post-termination restrictions applicable to such Shared Service Employee (to the extent necessary to enable such Shared Service Employee to be employed by the Seller Group or JLR as the case may be in accordance with the terms of the job offer made to them) under their current contract with effect from the Completion Date (or, in the case of a Delayed NSC, with effect from the Delayed Transfer Date). The Seller and the

Buyer shall procure that the relevant member of the Seller Group and JLR shall encourage the Shared Services Employees to give as much advance notice of termination as possible to their current employer in the event that they accept a new job offer from a member of the Seller Group or JLR pursuant to this Clause 16.16;

16.16.6

the Seller and the Buyer shall each be responsible for their respective shares of any Losses and Liabilities including any Aggregate Severance Costs (subject to the conditions and limitations in Clauses 16.16.8(a) to 16.16.8(e)) incurred as a result of the Seller or relevant member of the Seller Group terminating the employment of any Shared Services Employee who has not:

(a)

accepted an offer of employment from a member of the Seller Group or JLR; or

(b)

received and offer of employment from a member of the Seller Group or JLR;

or where such Shared Services Employee’s employment is terminated as a result of having accepted an offer from a member of the Seller Group or JLR;

16.16.7

the Buyer shall promptly reimburse the Seller on demand for the Buyer’s share of the Aggregate Severance Costs for each Shared Services Employee subject to receiving reasonable evidence of the same;

16.16.8

the relevant member of the Seller Group shall use reasonable endeavours to ensure that any Aggregate Severance Costs are kept to a minimum (but having regard to Clauses 16.16.8(c) and (e)) and to terminate any such person’s employment as soon as reasonably practicable after Completion. The term “Aggregate Severance Costs” shall mean:

(a)

any payments made by a member of the Seller Group which are: (i) contractually due; or (ii) due pursuant to the Laws of the Territory in which the Shared Service Employee is employed, in either case to any Shared Service Employee by reason of the termination of their employment (including without limitation any notice or payment in lieu of notice but subject to Clause 16.16.8(c) below excluding any payments in respect of any remuneration or other benefits in relation to the employment of any Shared Service Employee in respect of the period up to the termination of any Shared Service Employee’s employment). For the avoidance of doubt, the term Aggregate Severance Costs includes (as applicable) any retirement allowance payments due on termination in Japan;

(b)

any damages, awards, penalties or other Losses or Liabilities (including reasonable legal costs and expenses) arising out of or in connection with any claim brought by or on behalf of any Shared Services Employee relating to the termination of his employment by a member of the Seller Group;

(c)

subject to the consent of the Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) any payment made (where reasonably necessary) to settle or compromise a claim or liability (or potential claim or liability) arising out of or in connection with the termination of employment of any Shared Services Employee by a member of the Seller Group;

(d)

any current salary or other benefit costs payable to a Shared Services Employee following Completion (or, in respect of a Delayed NSC, following the Delayed Transfer Date) where the relevant member of the Seller Group is delayed or prevented from terminating the Shared Services Employee’s employment by Law (or where such delay is otherwise agreed in writing between the parties); and

(e)

subject to the consent of the Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) any enhanced terms or payments (in excess of the terms or payments referred to in this sub-clause 16.16.8) which the Seller reasonably determines in good faith are necessary to bring the total severance package for the Shared Services Employee into line with (but not in excess of) market practice in that Territory;

For the avoidance of doubt the Buyer shall not be required to contribute to any ex-gratia payment offered by the Seller to any Shared Services Employee on the termination of their employment (save as required in Clauses 16.16.8(c) and (e)) unless it has given its prior written consent.

16.16.9

the Seller and Buyer’s respective shares of the Aggregate Severance Costs in each Shared Services Territory shall be calculated by reference to the following formula:

X = (A - C)

Y = (B - D)

Z = (X + Y)

Buyer share = (X / Z) × Aggregate Severance Costs

Seller share = (Y / Z) × Aggregate Severance Costs

Where:

“A” means the JLR Shared Services Headcount for that Shared Services Territory;

“B” means the member of the Seller Group Shared Services Headcount for that Shared Services Territory;

“C” means the number of job offers made by JLR and accepted by Shared Services Employees in that Shared Services Territory; and

“D” means the number of job offers made by the relevant member of the Seller Group and accepted by Shared Services Employees in that Shared Services Territory.

16.17

16.17.3

terminate the employment of the NSC Transferring Employees employed in such Embedded NSC (or any of them) either (i) where the NSC Transferring Employee has agreed to transfer to, or has accepted an offer of employment from, the Third Party Importer or (ii) in circumstances where the NSC Transferring Employee has not received an offer or has not accepted an offer of employment from the Third Party Importer.

16.18

If the Seller transfers the Embedded NSC Assets of an Embedded NSC to a Third Party Importer in accordance with Clause 7.1.2 (iii), the Seller and Buyer shall be responsible in equal shares for any Losses or Liabilities including any Severance Costs (subject to the conditions and limitations in Clauses 16.19.1 to 16.19.5) arising out of any of the following circumstances or events:

16.18.1

where the Seller terminates the employment of a NSC Transferring Employee in that Territory where such NSC Transferring Employee has agreed to transfer to or accepted an offer of employment from the Third Party Importer; or

16.18.2

where the Third Party Importer refuses to make an offer of employment to a NSC Transferring Employee in that Territory or to accept the transfer of any such NSC Transferring Employee; or

16.18.3

where a NSC Transferring Employee in that Territory does not accept (within a reasonable timeframe) an offer of employment made by the Third Party Importer.

The Buyer agrees to indemnify the Seller in respect of its shares of such Losses, Liabilities and Severance Costs and the Seller agrees to indemnify the Buyer in respect of its share of such Losses, Liabilities and Severance Costs (subject to each Party providing the other with such information as the other may reasonably request verifying the amount of such Losses and Liabilities in respect of each relevant employee, including copies of any relevant termination agreements and information showing the basis for the amount payable to each relevant employee). The relevant member of the Seller Group shall use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that any Severance Costs are kept to a minimum (but having regard to Clauses 16.19.3 and 16.19.5).

16.19

16.19.1

any payments made by a member of the Seller Group which are (i) contractually due or (ii) due pursuant to the Laws of the Territory in which the NSC Transferring Employee is employed in either case to any NSC Transferring Employee by reason of the termination of their employment (including without limitation any notice or payment in lieu of notice but subject to Clause 16.19.3 excluding any payments in respect of any remuneration or other benefits in relation to the employment of any NSC Transferring Employee in respect of the period up to the termination of any NSC Transferring Employee’s employment);

16.19.4

any current salary or other benefit costs payable to a NSC Transferring Employee following the transfer of the Embedded NSC Assets to the Third Party Importer where the relevant member of the Seller Group is delayed or prevented from terminating the NSC Transferring Employee’s employment by Law (or where such delay is otherwise in writing between the parties); and

19.2

Occurrence Based Claims

In respect of any policy of insurance (including, but in no way limited to, employer’s liability insurance) of any member of the Seller Group that provides cover to any of the Target Companies and/or any NSC Newcos and/or any Embedded NSC and/or provides cover in relation to the Halewood Plant:

(a)

on or before the Completion Date; and

(b)

other than on a claims-made basis (such being a policy under which the date on which the claim is made against the insured determines whether the loss is recoverable) (such a policy of insurance, an Occurrence Based Policy),

the Target Companies, the NSC Newcos and the Delayed NSCs shall remain insured and entitled to recover (and all claims in relation to the Halewood Plant shall be insured and recoverable) under and subject to the terms and conditions of such policy of insurance in respect of any loss or liability relating to occurrences, events or circumstances prior to the Completion Date, notwithstanding that the claim by the Target Company, the NSC Newco or the Delayed NSC or the claim in relation to the Halewood Plant may first be made to the insurer subsequent to the Completion Date.

19.3

No Right or Interest in Insurance Policies

The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, save as provided in Clauses 19.1, 19.2 and 19.4 with effect from the Completion Date (but without prejudice to any accrued claims of the Target Companies, the Delayed NSCs or, insofar as they relate to Jaguar and/or Land Rover, any member of the Seller Group, and subject to the terms of the applicable policies), neither it nor any Target Company nor any Delayed NSC shall have any right or interest in any policies of insurance maintained by the Seller or any member of the Seller Group in relation to the Target Companies, the Delayed NSCs or the JLR Assets prior to the Completion Date.

Seller’s Rights in Insurance Policies

(b)

any claim, request or demand under Clause 14 shall be reduced by the amount recovered by a member of the Seller Group under an Occurrence Based Policy that is applicable to such claim, request or demand, it being understood that the Buyer shall first pay to the member of the Seller Group the full amount of any claim successfully asserted against such member of the Seller Group for any Assumed Liability prior to receiving the benefit (if any) of such reduction.

23.8.2

The Buyer and the Seller intend that the sale of the Halewood Plant or the Halewood Properties, or the supply of the Embedded NSCs (whether to a NSC Newco, a Target Company or any member of the Buyer’s Group) shall, wherever possible, take effect as a going concern and agree to use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that any applicable conditions are fulfilled so that each such transfer is treated neither as a supply of goods nor a supply of services for the purpose of VAT where the jurisdiction in which the relevant assets are located has given effect to Article 19 of the EC Council Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of value added tax or to ensure that any similar or analogous Tax neutral treatment or Relief is obtained in any other relevant jurisdiction (a TOGC).

23.8.4

The Buyer shall indemnify the Seller for any interest and penalties imposed by any Tax Authority arising out of the treatment by the Seller and the Buyer of the Relevant Supplies as a TOGC, provided that the Buyer shall not be required to indemnify the Seller to the extent that any such interest or penalties arise wholly as a result of:

(a)

the Seller failing to comply with its obligations under Clause 23.8.2;

(b)

a breach by the Seller of any of the warranties at Clause 23.8.6; or

(c)

the voluntary act or omission of the Seller (excluding the making of the supply itself) which could reasonably have been avoided provided that an act or omission:

(i)

required by Law;

(ii)

carried out in the ordinary course of business of the Seller consistent with past practice;

(iii)

carried out pursuant to the written request or with the written approval of the Buyer; or

(iv)

whereby the Seller discloses to a Tax Authority that the transfer has been or will be treated as a TOGC,

shall not constitute a voluntary act or omission for the purposes of this sub-clause (c),

and provided that this Clause 23.8.4 shall not apply where there is no provision in the jurisdiction in question for the supply of assets to be treated as a TOGC.

23.8.5

With a view to procuring that the relevant Supplies shall take effect as a TOGC, the Buyer:

(a)

shall ensure that, not later than the date on which the Relevant Supply is made, the entity receiving the Relevant Supply or Relevant Supplies is registered for VAT in:

the UK, in the case of the supply of the Halewood Properties and the Halewood Plant; and

the jurisdiction in which the Embedded NSC is located (being the jurisdiction specified in Part 2 of Schedule 8 against the relevant Embedded NSC), provided that the Buyer shall only be obliged to ensure registration in accordance with this sub-clause where such registration is a necessary condition for obtaining TOGC treatment;

(b)

warrants that the assets that are the subject of the Relevant Supplies are intended to be used by the Buyer or the relevant Target Company or member of the Buyer’s Group (from the date that such assets are acquired) in carrying on the same kind of business as that carried on by the Seller or relevant member of the Seller’s Group (as appropriate); and

(c)

in respect of the Halewood Properties:

(i)

warrants that Jaguar Cars Limited or the group for VAT purposes (if any) of which Jaguar Cars Limited may form part from Completion, will have put in place an election to waive exemption in relation to that part of the Halewood Properties described as the Supply Park (as more fully described in the Disclosure Letter) under paragraph 2 of Schedule 10 to VATA 1994 with effect from no later than Completion;

(ii)

warrants that written notification of the election given under Sub-clause (i) will before Completion have been provided to HMRC;

(iii)

shall, on or before Completion, give to the Seller a copy of such written notification as is mentioned under sub-clause (ii);

(iv)

acknowledges that, if the Buyer shall not have given to the Seller a copy of the written notification in accordance with (iii), then the Seller shall assume that notification of an election made in accordance with sub-clause (i) has not been given in accordance with sub-clause (ii) and, notwithstanding Clause 23.8.2, the Buyer shall in accordance with Clause 23.8.1 pay VAT in addition to that part of the Halewood Site Consideration that relates to the Supply Park, provided that:

(1)

the parties acknowledge that value of the Supply Park is not a material part of the value of Halewood Site Consideration; and

(2)

in the event that VAT is charged in respect of the transfer of the Supply Park, and HMRC later accept that this transfer was a TOGC, the Seller shall use all reasonable endeavours or shall procure that all reasonable endeavours are used to obtain a refund from HMRC of the VAT so charged, and shall pay to the Buyer (for and on behalf of Jaguar Cars Limited) the amount of any refund of VAT credit received from HMRC less any reasonable costs and expenses of the Seller or relevant member of the Seller Group; and

(v)

acknowledges that it has received from the Seller a copy of the written notification of the election made in respect of the Supply Park given by the Seller to HMRC in accordance with paragraph 3 of Schedule 10 to VATA 1994 together with a copy of the acknowledgement received by the Seller from HMRC confirming receipt of such notification.

23.8.6

With a view to procuring that the relevant Supplies shall take effect as a TOGC, the Seller:

(a)

warrants that the Warranty at Paragraph 19.8.5 of Schedule 4 remains true as at Completion, and that no disclosure has been made against this Warranty, other than the provision of details as to the extent of the area described as the Supply Park;

(b)

warrants that the copy of the written notification of the election made in respect of the Supply Park given by the Seller to HMRC in accordance with paragraph 3 of Schedule 10 to VATA 1994, as supplied to the Buyer and acknowledged at Clause 23.8.5(c)(v) above, is the election in respect of the Supply Park, as referred to the Warranty at Paragraph 19.8.5 of Schedule 4;

(c)

warrants that it accurately disclosed to HMRC in the correspondence sent to HMRC as disclosed to the Buyer (being the letters dated 31 January 2008 and 15 February 2008) and any other related discussions with HMRC all matters

relevant to the treatment as a TOGC of the transfers of the Halewood Properties and the Halewood Plant provided that the Seller’s warranty so far as it relates to the accuracy of statements made in respect of the Buyer’s intention is made to the best of the Seller’s knowledge;

(d)

shall or shall procure that within thirty (30) days of Completion written notice is given to HMRC of the sale of the Halewood Properties and Halewood Plant and that such sale has been treated as a TOGC;

(e)

shall, where the transfer of an Embedded NSC is treated as a TOGC, give within thirty (30) days of completion of the sale of any Embedded NSC to a Target Company, NSC Newco or member of the Buyer’s Group, written notice to the relevant Tax Authority of its sale of Embedded NSC and that such sale has been treated as a TOGC, or shall procure that such notice shall be given; and

(f)

shall, in relation to the Halewood Properties and the Halewood Plant:

(i)

preserve or procure the preservation of the records referred to in section 49 of VATA 1994 for such period as may be required by law and during that period to permit the Buyer, Jaguar Cars Limited or their agents during reasonable hours on Business Days to inspect such records and make copies of them; and

(ii)

not cease to retain such records without first giving the Buyer or Jaguar Cars Limited a reasonable opportunity to inspect and remove such of them as the Buyer or Jaguar Cars Limited wishes.

23.8.7

The Buyer and the Seller acknowledge that the Halewood Transfers contain a notification from Jaguar Cars Limited to the transferor of the Halewood Properties that paragraph 5(2B) of the Value Added Tax (Special Provisions) Order 1995 does not apply to Jaguar Cars Limited.

23.8.8

The Seller and the Buyer intend that, following the transfer of any Embedded NSC to a Target Company, NSC Newco or to the Buyer or to a member of the Buyer’s Group, the Buyer shall, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, maintain or procure the maintenance by a Target Company, NSC Newco or member of the Buyer’s Group of proper VAT records in respect of such Embedded NSC and accordingly:

(a)

the Seller shall, to the extent permitted by Law, deliver to the Buyer on the transfer of such Embedded NSC all records relating to VAT with regard to such Embedded NSC;

(b)

the Seller shall not make any request to any Tax Authority for such records to be preserved by the Seller rather than the Buyer;

(c)

the Buyer shall, to the extent that records are transferred to the Buyer, preserve or procure the preservation of such records in the jurisdiction in which the relevant Embedded NSC is situated for such period as may be required by law and during that period permit the Seller reasonable access to them to inspect or make copies of them, provided that the Seller shall only be entitled to access to records relating to any period commencing before Completion;

(d)

the Buyer shall not cease to retain such records without first giving the Seller a reasonable opportunity to inspect and remove such of them as the Seller wishes;

(e)

the Seller (or any person for the time being nominated under this sub-clause (e)) may by written notice to the Buyer nominate another person for the purpose of sub-clause (d), in which case the reference in that sub-clause to the Seller shall be read as a reference to the person nominated; and

(f)

where records are required by law to be retained by the Seller and are in fact so retained, sub-clauses (c), (d) and (e) shall apply but with the phrase “to the extent that records are transferred to the Buyer” replaced by “to the extent that records are not transferred to the Buyer” and the references to “Seller” replaced by “Buyer” and the references, other than that in the phrase set out in this Sub-clause, to “Buyer” replaced by “Seller”.

23.8.9

Except to the extent that this Sale and Purchase Agreement provides otherwise, if one party (Party A) is required by the terms of this Sale and Purchase Agreement to reimburse the other party (Party B) for any cost or expense, Party A shall reimburse Party B for the full amount of such cost or expense, including any part of it which represents amounts in respect of VAT, save to the extent that Party B (or its Affiliate) is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of that VAT from any Tax Authority.

23.8.10

Without prejudice to the rights of the parties under this Sale and Purchase Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, the Buyer and the Seller acknowledge that their understanding is that the IP Consideration is to be paid for and on behalf of UK resident Target Companies to a US resident entity or entities in respect of Intellectual Property Rights held by those US resident entity or entities, and that therefore no UK VAT should be charged by the Seller or the Seller Group in addition to the IP Consideration by the transferor of such Intellectual Property Rights. If and to the extent that, in respect of the IP Consideration, any VAT is required to be paid under the “reverse charge” mechanism provided for by section 8 of VATA 1994 or any analogous provision of the Laws of any jurisdiction, the Buyer shall, at the Buyer’s expense, comply or procure compliance with any such requirement and the Buyer acknowledges that no VAT so chargeable shall give rise to any liability of the Seller under any of the Transaction Documents, provided that this Clause 23.8.10 shall in no way limit any claim that the Buyer may have under the Warranties or the Tax Deed.

23.8.11

If the Seller or any member of the Seller’s Group determine that they should properly and correctly charge VAT in respect of any supplies made by the Seller (or any member of the Seller Group) made at or immediately following Completion under or pursuant to this Sale and Purchase Agreement including, but not limited, the supply of Intellectual Property Rights (for the purposes of this Clause 23.8.11 only, the Completion Supplies) then:

(a)

the Seller shall use all reasonable endeavours to notify the Buyer in writing at least ten (10) Business Days before Completion that VAT will be charged in respect of any Completion Supplies, such notification to include a breakdown of which Completion Supplies in respect of which the Seller or a member of the Seller Group intends to charge VAT and the amount of VAT that the Seller or a member of the Seller Group intends to charge; and

(b)

if the Seller’s notification (in the form described in (a) above) is given less than ten (10) Business Days before Completion, Clause 23.8.1 shall be amended so that “five (5)” is substituted by “five (5) plus x”, in respect of Completion Supplies only. For these purposes “x” shall be a number equal to 10 less the number of Business Days’ notice prior to Completion actually given to the Buyer, and if no such notification is given before Completion x shall be ten (10); and

(c)

in each case, the parties shall co-operate and discuss in good faith in order to identify that part of the payment given for the Completion Supplies that should be allocated to those Completion Supplies in respect of which VAT is due.

23.8.12

Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 5.2, the Seller shall, between the date of this Sale and Purchase Agreement and Completion, provide in a timely manner the Buyer with such information as is reasonably requested in writing in relation to:

(a)

the ongoing efforts to register various Target Companies for VAT in various jurisdictions, as detailed in the Data Room and the Disclosure Letter;

(b)

the ability of each Target Company to recover VAT input tax (on the assumption that the Target Companies were not members of a group for VAT purposes);

(c)

the application of the provisions of Part XV Value Added Tax Regulations 1995 (the Capital Goods Scheme) to any assets held at Completion by any Target Company, and to the Halewood Properties; and

(d)

the VAT registration status (including confirmation of whether part of a VAT group) of each Target Company,

in each case so as to facilitate the Buyer in its VAT planning for the period from Completion, and, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Clause 23.8.11 shall give the Buyer, directly or indirectly, rights to control or direct the operations of the Target Companies prior to Completion.

23.8.13

If VAT is paid in respect of the payment for any supply of goods or services made or deemed to be made by the Seller (or a member of the Seller Group) to the Buyer (or a member of the Buyer’s Group), or vice versa, under this Sale and Purchase Agreement, and the relevant Tax Authority later accepts that no VAT was due in respect of such supply, the Seller (in the case of a supply made by the Seller or member of the Seller Group) or the Buyer (in the case of a supply made by the Buyer or member of the Buyer’s Group) shall and shall procure that all reasonable endeavours are used to obtain a refund or credit from the relevant Tax Authority of or for the VAT in question, and shall pay or procure the payment of any resulting VAT refund or an amount equal to any resulting VAT credit (less the reasonable costs and expenses of the recovering party) to that other party within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such VAT refund or VAT credit.

23.9

Deductions from Payments

23.9.1

Except to the extent otherwise set out in this Sale and Purchase Agreement, any payment to be made by any party (including for these purposes any member of the Seller Group, Target Company, NSC Newco or member of the Buyer’s Group) under this Sale and Purchase Agreement (the Payer) to any other party to this Sale and Purchase Agreement, member of the Seller Group, Target Company, NSC Newco or member of the Buyer’s Group (the Payee) shall be made in full without any set-off, restriction or condition (whether for or on account of any counterclaim or otherwise) and without, and free and clear of, any deduction or withholding whatsoever (save only as required by Law).

23.9.2

If a Payer makes a deduction or withholding required by Law from a payment under this Sale and Purchase Agreement (other than the payment of the Purchase Price or interest or any payment made by the Buyer, a member of the Buyer’s Group or any Target Company or NSC Newco for the acquisition of shares or assets from the Seller or a member of the Seller Group, including but not limited to the IP Consideration, the Halewood Plant Consideration, the Halewood Site Consideration and the Halewood Sports and Social Club Consideration), the sum due from the Payer shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of any such deduction or withholding, the Payee receives a sum equal to the sum it would have received had no deduction or withholding been made.

23.9.3

If a payment under this Sale and Purchase Agreement (other than the payment of the Purchase Price or interest or any payment made by the Buyer, a member of the Buyer’s Group or any Target Company or NSC Newco for the acquisition of shares or assets from the Seller or a member of the Seller Group, including but not limited to the IP Consideration, the Halewood Plant Consideration, the Halewood Site Consideration and the Halewood Sports and Social Club Consideration) is subject to Tax in the hands of the Payee or would have been subject to Tax but for the utilisation of a Relief then, subject to Clause 23.9.4, the sum due shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that after payment of the Tax the Payee receives and retains a net sum equal to the sum it would have received had the payment not been subject to Tax.

23.9.4

The Seller shall have no liability to increase any payment under this Sale and Purchase Agreement under Clause 23.9.3 to the extent that any Tax in the hands of the Payee may be extinguished, satisfied, eliminated or mitigated by the Buyer, any Target Company, or any NSC Newco, whether by way of Group Relief or otherwise, as the result of the utilisation of any Seller’s Relief.

23.9.5

At the Seller’s written direction, the Buyer shall procure that each Target Company, NSC Newco and member of the Buyer’s Group shall take all such steps as are reasonably necessary to utilise any Seller’s Relief including effecting any capital allowances claim (by way of use of the Covenantor’s Pool (as defined in the Tax Deed) in accordance with clause 8.21 of the Tax Deed) for Group Relief purposes in accordance with Clause 23.9.4.

23.9.6

If any deduction or withholding is required by Law as referred to in Clause 23.9.1, the Payer shall:

(a)

make such deduction or withholding; and

(b)

pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Tax Authority, in accordance with Law,

and it is acknowledged, for the avoidance of doubt, that where there is a deduction or withholding required by Law from a payment under this Sale and Purchase Agreement and no increased payment is required under Clause 23.9.2, the Payee shall be deemed to have received the gross amount (before any such deduction or withholding).

23.9.7

If, at any time after any increased payment is made as a consequence of the application of Clause 23.9.2 or 23.9.3 or, the Payee receives or is granted credit against, refund of, or remission from any Tax payable but 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 Payer such amount as, acting reasonably, the Payee determines will leave it 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 (10) Business Days after the Payee receives or is granted such credit.

23.9.8

If the Payee’s right to receive any amount subject to any deduction or withholding under Clause 23.9.2 or to any Tax in the hands of the Payee under Clause 23.9.3 has been assigned to it or novated then the liability of the Payer under Clauses 23.9.2 and 23.9.3 shall be limited to the amount (if any) for which it would have been liable in the absence of such assignment or novation.

23.9.9

For the avoidance of doubt nothing in this Clause 23.9 shall cause the Payer in any event to be required to increase any payment by an amount greater than that which would result in the Payee receiving an amount equal to that which it would have received had no withholding or deduction (in the case of an increase under Clause 23.9.2) or Tax in the hands of the Payee (in the case of an increase under Clause 23.9.3) been suffered.

23.9.10

The Seller warrants and represents to the Buyer that each of the United Kingdom Patents to be assigned to or licensed to Jaguar Cars Limited and/or Land Rover UK pursuant to the Intellectual Property Agreements and on payment of the IP Consideration is beneficially owned by a UK Seller or a Treaty Seller, and that the part of the IP Consideration properly attributable to such United Kingdom Patents will be owned beneficially by such UK Seller or Treaty Seller, as appropriate.

23.9.11

The Buyer acknowledges that, in reliance on the representation given by the Seller in Clause 23.9.10, it believes that section 911(1)(c) of the Income Tax Act 2007 applies in relation to the Treaty Sellers and, accordingly, pursuant to section 911(2) of the Income Tax Act 2007, save to the extent required:

(a)

pursuant to any change in law (whether in the form of statute, case law, guidance or interpretation by a Tax Authority or otherwise) coming into effect on or before payment of the IP Consideration; or

(b)

under any notice issued by HMRC under section 912 of the Income Tax Act 2007; or

(c)

as a result of the Buyer on or before payment of the IP Consideration forming the reasonable belief that the representation at Clause 23.9.10 is in whole or part incorrect,

the Buyer shall (for and on behalf of the relevant Target Company, in accordance with the terms of this Sale and Purchase Agreement) or shall procure that such part of the IP Consideration as is required to be paid as is properly attributable to the United Kingdom Patents, is paid without any withholding or deduction under section 910 Income Taxes Act 2007 whatsoever.

23.9.12

The Seller shall indemnify the Buyer against any liability for Tax of the Buyer arising as a result of HMRC determining that section 910 of the Income Tax Act 2007 applied in respect of all or part of payment the IP Consideration (including, but not limited to, by virtue of the operation of section 911(3) of the Income Tax Act 2007). Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Sale and Purchase Agreement, any payment made under this Clause 23.9.12 or the indemnity at Clause 23.9.13(b) shall not be subject to any financial limitations (whether in this Sale and Purchase Agreement or otherwise) provided that the Seller shall not be required to compensate the Buyer, and Land Rover UK and Jaguar Cars Limited (under the terms of the Intellectual Property Common Terms Agreement), in aggregate, more than once in respect of the same liability for Tax.

23.9.13

The Buyer shall cooperate with the Seller and shall, as requested in writing by the Seller, use all reasonable endeavours (i) to contest any determination of HMRC that any payment comprising part of the IP Consideration properly attributable to the United Kingdom Patents should have been subject to any withholding or deduction of United Kingdom Tax, and (ii) to procure the recovery from HMRC of any Tax associated with such determination, provided that the Buyer shall not be required to take any action:

(a)

if there is reasonable evidence to suggest that an act or failure to act in relation to the determination in question constitutes fraud by the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller; or

(b)

unless the Seller has indemnified the Buyer (to its reasonable satisfaction) against any costs or expenses or liabilities (including any Tax) which it may suffer as a result of taking such action as requested by the Seller under this Clause 23.9.13; or

(c)

in the context only of an appeal to a court (including for the avoidance of doubt the Special Commissioners or the Value Added Tax and Duties Tribunal but excluding requests for local re-consideration to HMRC) unless the Seller has been advised by leading independent Tax Counsel acceptable to the Buyer in its reasonable discretion, after disclosure of all relevant information and documents, that it is reasonable to take the action requested by the Seller and that any appeal against the determination in question will, on the balance of probabilities, succeed, and a copy of such advice has been furnished to the Buyer.

23.9.14

In the event that the Buyer is entitled to recover any Tax from HMRC in accordance with and having complied with Clause 23.9.13, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller the sum equal to the lesser of:

(a)

any amount so recovered by the Buyer (together with an amount equal to any interest payment or repayment supplement received by the Buyer in connection with the recovery); and

(b)

the amount already paid by the Seller in respect of such Tax under the indemnity at Clause 23.9.12,

in each case less all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Buyer in making such recovery (to the extent not already paid to the Buyer under the indemnity referred to at Clause 23.9.13(b)) and less any Tax chargeable on the Buyer in respect of any sum received.

23.10

23.11.2

Neither the failure by any party to insist on any occasion upon the performance of the terms, conditions, and provisions of this Sale and Purchase Agreement, nor time or other indulgence granted by one party to the other shall act as a waiver of such breach or acceptance of any variation or the relinquishment of any such right or any other right under this Sale and Purchase Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
