12.	Refund

12.1 Refund


(a)	Subject to the provisions contained herein, from and after the Initial Closing Date, the Guarantors hereby agree to indemnify the Purchaser (or as the case maybe any Affiliate substituted pursuant to Clause 17) or the relevant Group Company as the Purchaser may direct:


(i)	from and against any Loss relating to any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Guarantors under this Share Purchase Agreement or in any certificate or document delivered in connection therewith; and


(ii)	any reduction or shortfall in assets or any increase in or additional liabilities whatsoever of the Group Companies with a cause or origin in an event which occurred prior to the Initial Closing Date, whether known or unknown at such date and which is not fully reflected or sufficiently provided for in the Closing Accounts.

(b)

Any sums relating to a Loss due by the Guarantors pursuant to Clause 12.1(a) (Refund) shall be treated as a reduction of the Price (the "Refund"). The Refund shall be paid to the Purchaser except if the latter chooses to delegate such payment to any Group Company in which case, upon notice of such decision having been given to the Guarantors, payment of the Refund shall be made directly to the Group Company concerned.

(c)

For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Clause 12 (Refund) shall be deemed to apply to (i) all Vendors (other than CM-CIC) in case of a breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties contained in Clause 11.1 (The Vendors), Clause 11.2 (The Shares) and paragraphs (a) to (g) of Clause 11.4 (The Group Companies) and (ii) CM-CIC in case of a breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties contained in Clause 11.1 (The Vendors), Clause 11.2 (The Shares).


(d)	For the avoidance of doubt, this Clause 12.1 does not apply to CM-CIC. However, paragraphs (a) (i) and (b) of Clause 12.1 remain applicable in case of a breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties contained in Clause 11.1 (The Vendors) and paragraphs (a) to (f) of Clause 11.2 (The Shares) by CM-CIC.

12.2 Calculation


(a)	The amount of the Refund shall include all costs, fees and charges incurred by the Purchaser or any Group Company:


(i)	in connection with the defense of the corresponding Third Party Claim (including late payment interest, penalties, fines and the cost of any guarantees required to be provided during the course of such defense), or


(ii)	in connection with any Proceedings, if any, initiated in order to obtain payment of such Refund from the Guarantors under Clause 12 (Refund).

(b)

When the Refund is subject to any Tax (or any foreign Tax equivalent), the amount of the Refund will be increased by an additional amount, which shall be determined, to ensure that the Purchaser and/or the Group Companies would be in the same position had the Refund not been subject to Tax. When the Loss corresponds to a deductible Tax charge for any of the Group Companies concerned, the amount of the Refund relating to such Loss shall take into account the amount of the corporate income tax savings actually benefiting to such Group Company for the fiscal year during which the Loss has materialized.


(c)	The amount of the Refund relating to a Loss shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds paid to the Purchaser or any Group Company in connection with such Loss as of the payment date referred to in Clause 12.6 (Payment), it being however provided that the amount of the insurance proceeds so deducted shall be net of :


(i)	any Tax payable by the Purchaser or the relevant Group Companies in connection with the payment of such insurance proceeds (whether or not such Tax is actually paid);


(ii)	any costs, fees and charges incurred by the Purchaser or the relevant Group Companies in obtaining such payment; and


(iii)	any increase in premium incurred by the Purchaser or the relevant Group Companies and resulting from the facts and circumstances underlying such Loss.


(d)	No compensation other than late interest payments or penalties shall be owed by the Guarantors further to tax adjustments giving rise to a simple transfer of revenue or expense from one financial year to another and generating no additional tax costs for the Group Companies in connection with what it would have paid in the absence of such adjustment.

(e)

The amount of any indemnification in respect of a Loss due by the Guarantors shall be reduced by any provision, reserve or allowance which directly relates to the concerned Loss, recorded in the Closing Accounts. Concerning the Litigations relating to Labor law proceedings, as disclosed in Schedule 11.19(o) (Labor Related Proceedings) if the final amount of the Loss (as determined by the labor Courts after exhaustion of all appeals) is lower than the corresponding provision, the amount equal to the difference between the final amount of the Loss and the provision shall be offset, as the case may be, against any other amount of indemnification due by the Guarantors in respect of a

Loss. Concerning the Litigation relating to Creatimmo, all the amounts recovered by Pure Impression SA after exhaustion of all appeals shall be offset, as the case may be, against any other amount of indemnification due by the Guarantors in respect of a Loss.


(f)	Notwithstanding the fact that a Loss may result from a breach or inaccuracy of more than one of the representations of this Agreement, the Guarantors’ liability may only be sought once in respect of any given event or damage (non bis in idem).

(g)

The Guarantors shall not be liable under this Agreement in respect of any situation, fact or event and any Losses arising therefrom to the extent that the same occurred as the exclusive consequence of the passing of, or any change in, after the Initial Closing Date, (i) any law or regulation including any increase in the tax rates or any imposition of taxation or any withdrawal of relief from taxation not in effect at the Initial Closing Date (even in case of retroactive effect of such law or regulation), (ii) any case law (jurisprudence) consistently applied by Governmental Authorities until the Initial Closing Date, or (iii) the accounting policies or practices consistently applied by the Group Companies in accordance with Accounting Principles until the Initial Closing Date.

12.3 Limitations

For the avoidance of doubt, such limitation shall not apply to any Loss related to the Fundamental Representations and Warranties or the representations and warranties referred to in Clause 11.23 (Tax Matters); and


(ii)	all Losses related to the Business Representations and Warranties for which indemnification is sought exceed in the aggregate a cumulative deductible of an amount of €210,000 (two hundred and ten thousand euros); provided, the foregoing shall not apply to any Loss related to the Fundamental Representations and Warranties or the representations and warranties in Clause 11.23 (Tax Matters).

(b)

(d)

Any Claim shall be deemed accepted by the Guarantors unless the Vendors Representative shall have objected to the Claim Notice in a written statement (providing explanations with supporting evidence as may reasonably be required to assess the merits of such objection) and such statement (the "Objection Notice") shall have been delivered to the Purchaser prior to the expiration of a period of thirty (30) Business Days following receipt of the Claim Notice. In the absence of such Objection Notice, the Claim shall be deemed accepted by the Guarantors who shall immediately pay the amount of the Refund to the Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of Clause 12.6 (Payment).

The Vendors Representative shall notify the Purchaser of its intent to participate to the defense of such Third Party Claim within thirty (30) Business Days from the date of receipt of the Claim Notice. Failing the receipt by the Purchaser of such notification within such period of time, the Vendors Representative shall be deemed having waived its rights to participate to the defense of the given Third Party Claim.

(c)

In the case of such a waiver by the Vendors Representative of its rights to participate to the defense of the given Third Party Claim, the Purchaser shall be empowered to take any decision as regards the Proceedings with the exception that any transaction, compromise, or similar action regarding the Third Party Claim shall always be subject to the prior consent of the Vendors Representative, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed by the Vendors Representative.


(d)	In the event the Vendors Representative gives notice of the Guarantors’ decision to participate in the defense of the interests of the relevant Group Company(ies) within the thirty (30) Business Days period above:

(d)	No breach by any Party of any provision of this Share Purchase Agreement shall be waived or discharged except with the express written consent of the other Parties.
