(ii) For the avoidance of doubt, if Licensee is required to make any other deduction or

withholding in respect of any taxes, imposts, duties or other such charges in respect of any

payment due under this Agreement, and in accordance with Clause 7.3(i) above, grosses up

the relevant payment to Licensor, but Licensor subsequently also receives a tax credit due to

the application of the withholding, Licensor shall refund Licensee such amount as will ensure

that

Licensor retains no more and no less that the full cash amount of the payment due (provided

that the sum refunded to Licensee may not exceed the amount by which it originally grossed-

up the payment to Licensor).

(iii) The parties hereby agree in good faith to seek to minimise the impact of any sales, use,

value added, withholding or other taxes applicable to any payment of the Rights Fee to the

extent permissible at law, it being accepted that no party shall, in doing so, be obliged to

prejudice its own position.

Rights Fee Adjustments

7.8 Licensee acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) If the number of scheduled Matches increases, such additional scheduled Matches shall

automatically and without further formality be included in this Agreement, subject to

Licensee paying additional amounts by way of an incremental increase in the total amount of

the Rights Fee, in accordance with the following formula:

Original Rights Fee for the relevant Season ÷ (DIVIDED by) the original number of

Matches) x (MULTIPLIED BY) the number of additional scheduled Matches = the

incremental increase in Rights Fee for that Season

(b) Any incremental increase in Rights Fee shall be paid by Licensee to Licensor on or before

the date of the first Match of each Season to which the incremental increase in Rights Fee

applies unless otherwise agreed in writing by Licensor.

(c) If the number of scheduled Matches decreases due to a decrease in the number of

Franchises or due to Licensor amending the format of the League, the total amount of the

Rights Fee for the applicable Season shall in those circumstances be reduced to reflect the

reduced number of scheduled Matches. The formula to be used to calculate the amount of

such reduction in the Rights Fee shall exactly mirror the formula to calculate any increase in

the Rights Fee set out at Clause 7.8(a) above.

7.9 If any scheduled Match is affected for reason of terrorism or war (including the imminent

threat of terrorism or war), the Rights Fee shall be reduced on a pro-rated basis for each such

Match, it being agreed that for these purposes a Match shall not be deemed “affected” if (a)

29

Page 30: testblock.cotestblock.co/mediabay-2/images/docs/MEDIABAY TELEV…  · Web viewmeans DTH Delivery, Cable TV ... trademark or brand or any of its services and/or products for promotional

both competing Teams have arrived at the relevant Venue and (b) the Match umpires have

taken to the field for the purposes of commencement of play of such Match. There shall be no

reduction in the Rights Fee for any reason other than as provided in Clause 7.8(c) and this

Clause 7.9.

7.10 Any reduction in the Rights Fee arising as a result of the operation of Clause 7.8(c) or

Clause

7.11 shall be achieved either by, at Licensee’s request: (a) a refund of such amount by

Licensor within [] days after the scheduled date of such Match; or (b) deducting the relevant

amount from the instalment of the Rights Fee which is next due (in accordance with the

Payment Schedule) following such affected Match. In the event that:

(i) no instalments of the Rights Fee remain to be paid following such affected Match; or

(ii) the remaining instalments of the Rights Fee are insufficient to absorb the entire deduction

arising as from such affected Match, then a balance payment reflecting the amount due shall

be made by Licensor to Licensee within [] days following the end of the Rights Period.

7.12 For the avoidance of doubt, except in the circumstances set out in Clause 7.8(c) or

Clause 7.9 above, Licensee shall not be entitled to a reduction, refund or rebate of the Rights

Fee, if the number of scheduled Matches in any Season during the Rights Period decreases

for any reason whatsoever (including any Force Majeure Event, as defined in Clause 20.4,

hereunder, are strictly subject (without reduction of the Licence Fee unless otherwise

provided

in this Agreement) to all applicable laws and to the Parties’ respective compliance therewith

(as applicable and at their own cost). In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the

provisions of this Agreement and any applicable law, the relevant applicable law shall

prevail,

provided that nothing in this Clause 16.1 shall limit any obligation imposed on either Party

under this Agreement that is more extensive than an obligation imposed that by any

applicable

law, but which does not contravene applicable law.

16.2 Neither Party shall be in breach of this Agreement for any failure to perform any of its

obligations hereunder, or to otherwise observe the provisions hereof, where to do so would be

contrary to, or would place such Party in breach of, any applicable law to which it, or this

Agreement, is subject.

16.3 Licensee shall be responsible for (including bearing any costs associated with) ensuring

that delivery and transmissions of Footage (or any part thereof) and all activities undertaken

Majeure Event. The party so prevented or delayed shall, subject to Clause 20.2 and 20.5, be

excused the performance of the affected obligation as from the date of such notice for so long

as such cause or delay shall continue and shall have no liability to the other party as a result

notwithstanding the relevant Force Majeure Event and shall not apply to the payment

obligations or other obligations of Licensee under Clause 7 above, save under Clause 7.10

above.

21. INVALIDITY

If at any time any provision of this Agreement becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in

any respect under the Laws of any jurisdiction, that circumstance shall, so long as the

commercial purpose of this Agreement is still capable of performance, not in any way affect

or impair the validity, legality or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other provision of

this Agreement, or the validity, legality or enforceability under the Law of any other

jurisdiction of that or any other provision of this Agreement. If any provision of this

Agreement is so found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, but would be valid, legal or

enforceable if some part of the provision were deleted, the provision in question shall apply

with such modifications as may be necessary to make it valid, legal or enforceable.

now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. The election of any one or

more of such remedies by any of the parties hereto shall not constitute a waiver by such party

of the right to pursue any other available remedies.
