Seller Warranties and Indemnities
 
7.1
The Seller warrants to the Buyer for itself and for any successor in title to the Shares that each and every Warranty is true, correct, accurate and not misleading at the date of this Agreement.
 
7.2
Each of the Warranties shall be deemed to be repeated immediately prior to Completion by reference to the facts and circumstances then existing and on the basis that all references (whether express or implied) in such Warranties to the “date of this Agreement” or in any of the definitions in clause 1.1 used in such Warranties shall be deemed to be substituted with references to the “Completion Date”, as appropriate.
 
6

 
7.3
The Seller shall forthwith notify the Buyer in writing of any matter or thing which may arise or become known to it after the date of this Agreement and prior to Completion which constitutes (or would with the passage of time constitute) a breach of any of the Warranties or a breach of any of the covenants or undertakings or obligations of the Seller under this Agreement.

7.5
The rights and remedies of the Buyer in respect of any breach of the Warranties shall not be affected by Completion, by any investigation made by or on behalf of the Buyer into the affairs of the Company, or by any other event or matter whatsoever which otherwise might have affected such rights and remedies except a specific and duly authorised written waiver or release.  No information relating to the Company of which the Buyer has knowledge (actual or constructive) other than by reason of its being disclosed in accordance with clause 7.1 shall prejudice any claim which the Buyer shall be entitled to bring or shall operate to reduce any amount recoverable by the Buyer under this Agreement.

Where any Warranty is qualified by the expression “so far as the Seller is aware” or “to the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Seller” or words having similar effect, such Warranty shall be deemed to include a statement that such awareness means both the actual knowledge of the Seller and also such knowledge which the Seller would have had if it had made due and careful enquiry of all relevant persons.
 
7.7
Each of the paragraphs in Schedule 3 shall be interpreted as being deemed to include all references to the foreign equivalent of terms used, statutes and regulations referred to and concepts applied where the Company is incorporated in, does business in or is affected by the laws or regulations of a country outside the British Virgin Islands.

Any information supplied by the Company, its officers, employees or agents to the Seller, its agents, representatives or advisers in connection with this Agreement, or in connection with, or to form the basis of, the Warranties, or for any other reason, shall be deemed not to include or have included a representation, warranty or guarantee of its accuracy to the Seller and shall not constitute a defence to the Seller to any claim made by the Buyer.  The Seller hereby waives any and all claims against the Company, its officers or employees in respect of any information so supplied (and undertakes that no other person claiming under or through it will make any such claim).
