(a) Buyer if the Legal Expert provides a written opinion that a Material Breach has not occurred; and

(b) Seller if the Legal Expert provides a written opinion that a Material Breach has occurred.

17 Choice of law and submission to jurisdiction

17.1 This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with English law and all claims and disputes (including non-contractual claims and disputes) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, its subject matter, negotiation or formation will be determined in accordance with English law.

17.2 If in any court any party argues that a court other than the courts of England and Wales has jurisdiction to determine any claims or disputes (including any non-contractual claims or disputes) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement that issue will be determined in accordance with English law, and any right any person might otherwise have to rely upon the law of the forum or any other law is irrevocably and unconditionally waived.

Submission to jurisdiction

17.3 Subject to the provisions of clauses 9.3 and 9.5, each party submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales in relation to all claims, disputes, differences or other matters (including non-contractual claims, disputes, differences or other matters) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

17.4 Each party irrevocably waives any right that it may have:

(a) to object on any ground to an action being brought in the courts of England and Wales, to claim that the action brought in the courts of England and Wales has been brought in an inconvenient forum or to claim that the courts of England and Wales do not have jurisdiction. The waiver contained in this clause 17.4(a) includes a waiver of all formal and substantive requirements of any otherwise competent jurisdiction in relation to this clause 17.4(a); and

(b) to oppose the enforcement of any judgment of any court of England and Wales whether on any ground referred to in clause 17.4(a) or otherwise.

Service of process

17.6 Notwithstanding and without prejudice to the foregoing, each of the Buyer and the Guarantor:

(a) irrevocably appoints MTS Medication Technologies Limited and any successor in business, of Unxx 0X, Xxxxxxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, XX00 0XX (Process Agent) as its agent to receive service of process in England and Wales in relation to any document initiating or otherwise connected with any proceedings commenced by the Seller in the courts of England and Wales arising out of or in connection with this Agreement;

(b) agrees to notify the Seller in writing of any change of address of such Process Agent within 10 Business Days of the change of address; and

(c) if such Process Agent ceases to be able to act under this clause 17 or ceases to have an address in England and Wales, irrevocably agrees to appoint a replacement process agent (New Process Agent) reasonably acceptable to the Seller and to give to the Seller notice of such appointment within 10 Business Days of such appointment, and after such appointment reference to the Process Agent in this clause shall be read as reference to the New Process Agent.

17.7 Any such document will be validly served on the Buyer and the Guarantor:

(a) by being sent by pre-paid first class post to or delivered to the Process Agent or left at the Process Agent’s address set out in this clause 17; or

whether or not forwarded to or received by the Buyer and the Guarantor.

The Buyer and the Guarantor each undertake not to contest in any court in any jurisdiction the enforcement in that jurisdiction of any judgment of the courts of England and Wales against it on the ground that the courts of England and Wales did not have jurisdiction over it or that service of process (being service in accordance with this clause) was invalid or ineffective or resulted in it not having due or adequate notice of the proceedings.

Executed as a deed by the parties on the date of this Agreement.

6 Buyer’s knowledge

The Seller will not be liable for any Claim to the extent that the Claim arises out of or in connection with any fact, matter or circumstance which is within the actual knowledge of the Buyer at the date of this Agreement and where the Buyer is actually aware as at the date of this Agreement that such fact, matter or circumstance would give rise to a Claim.

(e) the Claim in question relates to a contingent, future or unascertainable loss or liability suffered or incurred by the Buyer, provided that the Buyer shall not be prevented from bringing such a Claim if the Buyer actually suffers the loss or incurs the liability in question; or

(f) the loss or liability to which the Claim relates has been or is made good or otherwise compensated for at no expense to the Buyer or any member of the Buyer’s Group.

8 Subsequent recovery from a third party

8.1 If:

(a) the Seller makes a payment in respect of a Claim (a Damages Payment);

(b) within 12 months of the making of such payment the Company or the Buyer receives any sum other than from the Seller which would not have been received but for the matter or circumstance giving rise to the relevant Warranty Claim (the Third Party Sum);

(d) the aggregate of the Third Party Sum and the Damages Payment exceeds the amount required to compensate the Buyer or the Company (as the case may be) in full for the matter or circumstance which gave rise to the relevant Claim (such excess being the Excess Recovery),

8.2 the Buyer shall, promptly following receipt of the Third Party Sum by it or the Company, repay to the Seller an amount equal to the lower of (i) the Excess Recovery and (ii) the Damages Payment, after deducting (in either case) all costs incurred by the Buyer or the Company in recovering the Third Party Sum.

10 Duty to mitigate

Nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to relieve the Buyer from its common law duty to mitigate its loss.

11 No double recovery

Neither the Buyer nor any member of the Buyer’s Group will be entitled to recover damages or any other amount in respect of any Claim or otherwise obtain reimbursement or restitution more than once in respect of the same matter, loss or liability and for this purpose any payment by the Seller under the Tax Covenant will be deemed to satisfy any Claim in respect of the same matter and vice versa.

12 No reliance on statements

The Buyer shall not make any claim against the Seller in respect of any warranty, representation, indemnity, covenant, undertaking or otherwise arising out of or in connection with the sale of the Shares except where it is expressly contained in this Agreement. The Buyer confirms that it has not relied upon or been induced to enter into this Agreement by any warranty, representation, indemnity, covenant or undertaking given by any person which is not expressly contained in this Agreement.
