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):

EXECUTION VERSION

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)

where neither party has a Net After Tax Benefit, the aggregate Net After Tax Deficit for the Buyer’s Group and the Seller Group shall be borne equally,

and for the purposes of this Clause 8.19:

EXECUTION VERSION

(d)

the Buyer’s Group’s “Net After Tax Deficit” is the amount (if any) by which, after aggregating the position of each relevant Buyer’s Group member and Target Company and the relevant NSC Newco and after taking into account all relevant Tax liabilities arising to or reasonably expected to arise to those entities, the Buyer’s Group is worse off, as a result of the assumptions referred to in Clause 8.17 being incorrect compared to the position which the Buyer’ Group would have been in had those assumptions been correct; and

(e)

the Seller Group’s “Net After Tax Deficit” is the amount (if any) by which, after aggregating the position of each relevant Seller Group member and after taking into account all relevant Tax liabilities arising to or reasonably expected to arise to those entities, the Seller Group is worse off, as a result of the assumptions referred to in Clause 8.17 being incorrect compared to the position which the Seller Group would have been in had those assumptions been correct; and

(g)

(b)

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

(c)

(ii)

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

(iii)

EXECUTION VERSION

(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:

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

(f)

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

EXECUTION VERSION

(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.

EXECUTION VERSION

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

EXECUTION VERSION

(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.

EXECUTION VERSION

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.

EXECUTION VERSION

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.

EXECUTION VERSION

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.
