(b) | the Buyer shall not be liable for any interest, fines or penalties to the extent that such interest, fines or penalties arise as a result of a failure by the Sellers in complying with its obligations to HMRC in a timely manner (unless and to the extent that such failure is as a result of the UK Seller acting in a manner contemplated by Clause 15) or arising as a result of any breach by the Seller of any of its obligations under this Agreement. |

17.6 | The Sellers shall procure that all notices, correspondence, information, orders, money or enquiries relating to the Business or the Assets belonging to the Buyer which are received by the Sellers or any member of the Sellers’ Group on or after Completion shall be immediately passed or paid to the Buyer. | |

Calculation of Stock Inventory
1 | Immediately after the Transfer Date and upon delivery of the Stock (including any Stock in transit) representatives of the Sellers and the Buyer shall conduct a physical stock-take of the Stock so as to verify the accuracy of the Agreed Form Stock Inventory set out in Appendix 2 to this Agreement and to determine its value. Stock shall be valued as follows: |
(a) | all Stock shall be valued on the basis of its “Landed Cost” which shall mean its direct cost plus inbound freight cost but excluding buying commissions; | ||
(b) | all stock less than 6 months old will be valued at the full Landed Cost of those items at Completion. Any Stock more than 6 months old as at Completion will be valued at 50% of its Landed Cost. |
2 | There shall be no obligation on the Buyer to purchase any Stock older than 18 months as at Completion. | |
3 | However, the Buyer agrees that it will purchase the archive stock at the agreed price of £66,314 in aggregate. | |
4 | If the representatives of the Sellers and the Buyer are unable to agree the value of the Stock within seven days of commencement of the stock-take then the dispute shall be resolved as provided in paragraph 2 below. | |
5 | If, within 14 days of the Stock-take referred to in paragraph 1 above, there remains an outstanding dispute with respect to the Stock Inventory, the dispute shall be referred to a firm of chartered accountants, nominated jointly by the Sellers and the Buyer or, failing nomination within 14 days after the request by either the Sellers or the Buyer, nominated at the request of either party by the president of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales or any successor institute. The firm shall act as experts and not as arbitrators and their decision (in the absence of manifest error) shall be final and binding on the parties. The fees shall be payable by the Sellers and the Buyer in such proportions as the firm determines. |
