The Buyer shall be liable for any costs incurred since the proposed date of settlement or compromise.

6.22	If any Claim arises by reason of some liability of the Company which, at the time that Claim is notified to the Sellers' Representative, is contingent only or otherwise not capable of being quantified, the Warrantors shall not be under any obligation to make any payment in respect of that Claim unless and until that liability ceases to be contingent or becomes capable of being quantified, as the case may be, provided that the provisions of clause 6.6 shall not apply to that Claim.
