If a resale of the target company/target business is to follow the initial transaction, the two transactions can be seen as ‘back to back’. ‘Back to back’ warranty provisions act to protect the buyer’s position in the two transactions. This may be an arm’s length sale to a third party, but is often a transfer of ownership within the buyer’s group. If warranties are given on a ‘back to back’ basis, this first of all means that the warranties in the resale transaction are identical to those in the initial transaction. Second, because the two transactions are contemplated by the original parties as being ‘back to back’, the buyer must be able to still have full recourse against the seller and also be able to effectively pass on liability for any warranty claim from the resale buyer to the seller.

This is radiation which comes from cosmic and geological sources and from nuclear weapons testing and to which we are all exposed. Typical examples include naturally-occurring radioactive materials (e.g. radon which is associated with the decay of uranium and/or as an induced fission product of thorium both of which naturally exist in small quantities in granite) and global fallout which exists in our environment as a result of nuclear weapon testing. Radiation which comes from sources, byproduct, or special nuclear materials subject to regulation by the ONR would not come under this definition. The typically quoted average individual exposure from background radiation is 360 millirems per year / 3,600 micros.
