	11.	UNDERTAKINGS, POST-COMPLETION OBLIGATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS ON BUYERS AND SELLERS 

  

	11.1.	

  

	 	11.1.1.	Following Completion, the Seller will continue to pursue the opposition proceedings (including any appeal of an initial adverse decision of such opposition proceedings) filed by Seller with the European Patent Office
relating to: 

  

	 	(a)	the patents granted to the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (“CSIRO”) in Europe (collectively, the “CSIRO Patents”); and 


 

	 	(b)	the patent that is granted to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (“CSH”) in Europe (the “CSH Patent”), 


in each case, at Seller’s sole expense. The Seller confirms that it will not give up any right to appeal any adverse decision without
first consulting with the Buyers in relation to such matter and, where possible, offering the Buyer the opportunity to join the proceedings. 
  

	 	11.1.2.	The Seller and the Buyers will, in good faith, consider any settlement opportunities relating to the proceedings and, if the Seller and the Buyers agree, may settle the proceedings on the understanding that such
settlement should, taking into account the costs of settlement and the benefits to be received from the settlement, be in the interests of both the Seller and the Buyers. 


 

	 	11.1.3.	In connection with Seller’s activities to oppose such CSIRO Patents and CSH Patent, Seller shall keep the Buyers reasonably informed of the status of such opposition proceedings. The Seller shall indemnify and hold
harmless Buyers and each member of its Group(collectively, “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), from and against, any and all costs, expenses, liabilities, damages, losses and harm (including reasonable professional costs and expenses) incurred
or sustained by, or imposed upon, any Buyer Indemnified Party based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of the infringement or misappropriation of such CSIRO Patents by the Sellers or any member of the Target Group in the conduct of
the Business prior to the Completion Date including any adverse decision of such opposition proceedings relating to the period prior to Completion. 

  

	11.2.	In the event that it is discovered after Completion that (i) the Dutch Assets transferred in accordance with the Dutch Deed of Transfer or this Agreement, the Dutch Contracts or Dutch Records do not provide the
Dutch Buyer with the benefit or use of or access to any assets or records directly relating to the Dutch Business and necessary to enable the Dutch Buyer to conduct the Dutch Business other than assets or records which are allocated into the R&D
business owned and jointly utilised category referred to in clause 11.22(d); or (ii) the Target Group does not have the use of or access to all of the assets directly relating to and reasonably necessary to enable the Target Group to conduct
the Business carried on by them other than assets or records which are allocated into the R&D business owned and jointly utilised category referred to in clause 11.22(d), then the Sellers shall use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that these
assets and records are transferred to the Dutch Buyer or the UK Buyer as appropriate as soon as reasonably practicable and free of charge. 


  
 27 









	11.3.	The Seller shall procure that following Completion the Buyers, at their own expense, are provided with such access and assistance as they reasonably require to the accounting records of the Services Division which have,
prior to Completion, been maintained on the IT systems of the Retained Group and the Seller undertakes to procure that such records are either maintained in reasonably accessible form for no less than 7 years following Completion or that the Buyers
are provided with a hard copy of all such records. 

  

	11.4.	Conditional upon and with effect from Completion, the Sellers hereby on their own behalf and on behalf of each other member of the Retained Group irrevocably and unconditionally release each member of the Target Group
from all agreements and arrangements which are exclusively between member(s) of the Target Group and member(s) of the Retained Group (and not for the avoidance of doubt any third parties) except to the extent such agreements or arrangements relate
to the operation of the Services Division in the ordinary course or have been or are to be entered into pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 

  

	11.5.	Insofar as either of the Sellers, or any other member of the Retained Group, remains a party to any contract or agreement to which a member of the Target Group and any third party are also a party (a “Relevant
Joint Contract”) the parties shall work together in the period between the date of this Agreement and Completion to identify the Relevant Joint Contracts and, acting in good faith, to agree whether any steps need to be taken in relation to
such contracts and, if so, which member(s) of the Target Group and/or member(s) of the Retained Group, as the case may be, should assume and/or retain the rights and obligations under such Relevant Joint Contract. The Buyers and the Sellers confirm
their understanding that any such allocation should in principle be determined on the basis that any Relevant Joint Contract which principally relates to the operations of the Services Division should be allocated to a member of the Target Group (a
“Target Group Relevant Joint Contract”) and that any Relevant Joint Contract which principally relates to the operations of the Retained Group should be allocated to the relevant member of the Retained Group (a “Retained
Group Relevant Joint Contract”). It is further acknowledged that certain Relevant Joint Contracts may not require allocation or change or may require to be split into separate contracts or otherwise modified to give similar effect.


  

	11.6.	Following Completion, 

  

	 	11.6.1.	each of the Sellers shall and shall procure that each relevant member of the Retained Group will: 

  

	 	(a)	not act, or refrain from acting, in material breach of the terms of any Target Group Relevant Joint Contract; 

  

	 	(b)	 at the Buyers’ request, use all reasonable endeavours (with the co-operation of the Buyers) to procure that any Target Group




  
 28 









	 	
Relevant Joint Contract, or portions thereof, is assigned or novated to a member of the Buyers’ Group or amended to remove the Seller, Dutch Seller or relevant member of the Retained Group
(as appropriate) as a party to such Target Group Relevant Joint Contract; 

  

	 	(c)	hold any Target Group Relevant Joint Contract and any monies, goods or other benefits received thereunder as trustee for the Buyers and the Target Group; and 


 

	 	(d)	(so far as it lawfully may) give all such assistance as the Buyers may reasonably require to enable the Buyers to enforce their rights and/or perform services under each Target Group Relevant Joint Contract and (without
limitation) shall provide access to all relevant books, documents and other information in relation to such Target Group Relevant Joint Contract as the Buyers may reasonably request in writing from time to time. 


 

	11.7.	Following Completion, 

  

	 	11.7.1.	each of the Buyers shall and shall procure that each relevant member of the Target Group will: 

  

	 	(a)	not act, or refrain from acting, in material breach of the terms of any Retained Group Relevant Joint Contract; 

  

	 	(b)	at the Sellers’ request, use all reasonable endeavours (with the co-operation of the Sellers) to procure that any Retained Group Relevant Joint Contract, or portions thereof, is assigned or novated to a member of
the Sellers’ Group or amended to remove the UK Buyer, Dutch Buyer or relevant member of the Target Group (as appropriate) as a party to such Retained Group Relevant Joint Contract; 


 

	 	(c)	hold any Retained Group Relevant Joint Contract and any monies, goods or other benefits received thereunder as trustee for the Sellers and the Retained Group; and 


 

	 	(d)	(so far as it lawfully may) give all such assistance as the Sellers may reasonably require to enable the Sellers to enforce their rights and/or perform services under each Retained Group Relevant Joint Contract and
(without limitation) shall provide access to all relevant books, documents and other information in relation to such Retained Group Relevant Joint Contract as the Sellers may reasonably request in writing from time to time.

thereafter.

foreseen by such other party. 

  

	27.	GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
