Withholdings and Deductions 41 All payments made by the Sellers under this Schedule 7 shall be paid free and clear of all deductions, withholdings, set-offs or counterclaims whatsoever save only as may be required by law. 42 If any deductions or withholdings are required by law, the sum due from the Sellers shail be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that the Buyer receives the same amount as it would have been entitled to receive had no deduction or withholding been made. 43 If any payment under paragraph 2 or paragraph 4 of this Schedule 7 will be or has been subject to Taxation in the hands of the Buyer (or would give rise to a charge to Taxation in the absence of any Reliefs available to the Buyer), then the Seller shall pay to the Buyer the amount (after taking into account Taxation payable in respect of the amount) as will ensure that the Buyer receives and retains a net sum equal to the sum it would have received had the payment not been subject to Taxation.
