34

(c) if the dispute involves an appeal against a determination by the Tax Authority, unless the Vendor has obtained the opinion of Tax counsel of at least five years standing that the appeal has a reasonable prospect of success.

1.11 If paragraph 1.8 does not apply by virtue of any provision in paragraph 1.10, the Purchaser, the Company or the relevant Subsidiary shall have the absolute conduct of the Tax Authority Claim (without prejudice to its rights under paragraph 1.1) and shall be free to pay or settle the Tax Authority Claim in any terms that the Purchaser, the Company or the relevant Subsidiary in its absolute discretion thinks fit.
