acquisition of any Station following exercise of the Station Option shall not affect any rights of the Secretary of State or the Station Purchaser or any obligations of any member of the Group under any of the other Liabilities Documents including:


  

	 	2.8.1	the obligation or liability of any member of the Group to discharge any Excluded Liabilities relating to that Station or any Excluded Historic Liabilities (as defined in the HLFA);
and 

  

	 	2.8.2	the obligation of the Licensees to indemnify the Secretary of State in accordance with:

	2.9	Each of the Station Purchaser and the selling BEG Entity shall promptly notify the other upon becoming aware of circumstances which would give rise to an increase in Excluded
Liabilities arising as a result of the exercise of a Station Option. The Station Purchaser: 

  

	 	2.9.1	shall consult with that BEG Entity with a view to minimising any such increase to those Excluded Liabilities; and 

  

	 	2.9.2	at the Station Purchaser’s discretion, may allow that BEG Entity access to the Station Site to mitigate those Excluded Liabilities. 

  
 Failure to exercise 
  

	2.10	If the Secretary of State fails, within the Option to Operate Exercise Period in respect of a Station, either to exercise the applicable Option to Operate or notify the relevant BEG
Entity that she does not wish to exercise the Option to Operate, this shall be deemed to be notice by the Secretary of State of her intention not to exercise the Option to Operate, in which event the relevant BEG Entity shall be entitled to Close

(without prejudice to her right to re-exercise at any time an Option to Decommission) may, prior to Completion, terminate the acquisition of a Station for any other reason provided that: 

  

	 	2.12.1	the Secretary of State may not then re-exercise an Option to Operate in respect of that Station; and 

  

	 	2.12.2	prior to such termination, the Secretary of State has notified the relevant BEG Entity of such termination and discussed with the relevant BEG Entity the likely effect of such
proposed termination. 

  
 Nature of Station
Purchaser 
  

	2.13	If at the time the Secretary of State exercises a Station Option, (i) legislation is in force in the form or substantially in the form of Chapter 2 of the Energy Act 2004 and (ii)
the Station Purchaser is a publicly owned company or the NDA (within the meaning of such legislation), the Secretary of State may, by notice in writing to the relevant BEG Entity, elect that the transfer of all or any of the property, rights and
liabilities to be transferred under this Agreement to the Station Purchaser following exercise of a Station Option be effected by a transfer scheme under that legislation. In such event: 

  

	 	2.13.1	the transfer scheme shall contain provisions that are no more onerous to each BE Party than the provisions of this Agreement; 

  

	 	2.13.2	the parties shall enter into such agreement modifying this Agreement to reflect the election made by the Secretary of State as may be agreed between the parties; and


  

	 	2.13.3	the relevant BEG Entity shall consent for the purposes of such legislation to the transfer of the property, rights and liabilities by the transfer scheme. As security for the
performance of its obligation to give such consent each BEG Entity irrevocably appoints the Secretary of State (with power to delegate) as its attorney to execute and deliver a document containing such consent.

 Excluded Fuel 
  

	6.5	If, pursuant to clause 6.1, the Station Purchaser notifies a BEG Entity that it wishes to purchase any Excluded Fuel, the purchase price of Excluded Fuel (including an amount
in respect of the VAT payable on the supply of the Excluded Fuel by the relevant BEG Entity) shall be the cost of such fuel paid by that BEG Entity. If the Station Purchaser disagrees with the purchase price of any Excluded Fuel, the Station
Purchaser may, after the Initial Resolution Period, refer the matter for Expert Resolution. 

  

	6.6	The purchase price for any Excluded Fuel sold to the Station Purchaser shall be paid by the Station Purchaser to the order of the selling BEG Entity on the Completion Date against

transformers, generators and pump and gas circular components) located at that Station which is not required for the purpose of Decommissioning and which can be re-used by either or both of the BEG Entities at another Station. Prior to such removal
the relevant BEG Entity shall notify the Station Purchaser of the Plant and Machinery it wishes to remove and will liaise with the Station Purchaser to ensure that such removal does not unduly disrupt the Operation of such Station.


  

	6.8	The parties agree that, if any Plant and Machinery which is removed by a BEG Entity pursuant to clause 6.7 is subsequently sold or loaned by that BEG Entity to a third party,
that BEG Entity shall promptly notify the Secretary of State of such sale or loan and the consideration received and an amount equal to the value of such consideration shall be payable by that BEG Entity to the order of the Secretary of State.

would be likely to prevent or materially adversely affect, the Secretary of State’s ability to exercise and effect either or both of the Option to Operate and the Option to Decommission, and the Station Purchaser’s ability to continue to
Operate the Station after Completion in substantially the same manner as the relevant BEG Entity prior to Completion. 

  

	8.3	BE plc shall use its reasonable endeavours to procure that no member of the Group shall enter into any contract required for the Operation of a Station which cannot be assigned to a
Station Purchaser pursuant to clause 13 (Transfer of Contracts) without a Third Party Consent. 

  

	8.4	From the date which is 36 months prior to a Station’s Scheduled Closure Date or, if the Station will Close on an Early Closure Date, from the date that the Board becomes aware
that early Closure is likely (each, a “Benchmark Date”), the relevant BEG Entity shall, subject to clause 8.5, maintain that Station in accordance with the obligations under its Licence and shall not do anything to exacerbate
the condition of the Station Site as at the Benchmark Date or the ability of a Station Purchaser to continue generation of electricity for delivery in bulk to the National Grid (or the Scottish System in respect of the Scottish Stations) following
Completion, until the latest to occur of the following:

 and confidentiality obligations, all such information and explanations as soon as reasonably
practicable), in order to allow the Secretary of State to assess whether or not to exercise the Station Option in respect of that Station, save to the extent that such information or assistance has been, or is being, provided to the Secretary of
State or a Station Purchaser in connection with any other Station under this Agreement, the NLFA or otherwise; and 
  

	 	9.3.2	provided to the Secretary of State and the Station Purchaser as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within 5 Business Days of being required to do so by the Secretary
of State or the Station Purchaser. 

  
 The selling
BEG Entity shall only be required to provide information pursuant to clause 9.2 to the extent that such information exists at the relevant time. For the avoidance of doubt, that BEG Entity shall not be required to create or procure the
creation of such information in order to comply with a request by the Secretary of State. 
  
 Information relating to early Closure of a Station 
  

	9.4	Upon commencement of any economic assessment of a Station, the purpose of which is to allow or assist the Board to decide whether a Station should be Closed prior to its Scheduled
Closure Date (whether following the occurrence of an unforeseen event causing or likely to cause that Station to cease operation, or having taken into account the economic benefits likely to be received from the continued operation of that Station
to its Scheduled Closure Date against the costs and expenses likely to be incurred in the continued operation of that Station to its Scheduled Closure Date), the relevant BEG Entity shall: 

  

	 	9.4.1	promptly notify the Secretary of State of such commencement together with the actual or estimated date of Closure of that Station (upon any such date being discussed);

and employees and using reasonable endeavours to procure access to its agents and advisers by instructing them to assist the Secretary of State (subject to any legal or confidentiality restrictions), in each case to allow the Secretary of State to
assess whether or not to exercise the Station Option in respect of that Station. 

  
 For the avoidance of doubt, any routine operational analysis or discussion by the Board in connection with the Closure of a Station prior to its Scheduled
Closure Date shall not trigger the obligation of the relevant BEG Entity to notify the Secretary of State pursuant to this clause 9.4 and nothing in this clause 9.4 shall require any member of the Group to provide the Secretary of
State with any information or analysis in addition to that provided for, or assessed in connection with, such economic assessment.

of Closure (the “Early Closure Date”). Such notice shall be referred to as the “Formal Notice of Early Closure”. 

  
 Information relating to Partial Closure of a Station 
  

	9.6	Upon commencement of any economic assessment, the purpose of which is to allow or assist the Board to decide whether a Partial Closure of a Station should be effected (whether
following the occurrence of an unforeseen event causing or likely to cause a Partial Closure, or having taken into account the economic benefits likely to be received from the continued operation of a reactor against the costs and expenses likely to
be incurred in doing so), the relevant BEG Entity shall:

and employees and using reasonable endeavours to procure access to its agents and advisers by instructing them to assist the Secretary of State (subject to any legal or confidentiality restrictions), in each case to allow the Secretary of State to
assess whether or not to exercise the Partial Closure Option. 

  
 Any routine operational analysis or discussion by the Board in connection with the Partial Closure of a Station shall not trigger the obligation of the relevant BEG Entity to notify the Secretary of State pursuant to
this clause 9.6 and nothing in this clause 9.6 shall require any member of the Group to provide the Secretary of State with any information or analysis in addition to that provided for, or assessed in connection with, such economic
assessment. 
  
 Formal Notice of Early Partial Closure

  

	9.7	Upon the Board passing a resolution for a Partial Closure of a Station the relevant BEG Entity shall promptly notify the Secretary of State of the relevant date of Partial Closure

 Revocation of exercise of Station Option 
  

	11.2	If the Secretary of State terminates the acquisition of a Station following the exercise of a Station Option in respect of any Station pursuant to clause 2.12, the Secretary
of State shall reimburse to the order of the selling BEG Entity an amount equal to all costs incurred by that BEG Entity in relation to that Station in complying with its obligations under this Agreement which it would not have incurred but for the
exercise of the Station Option which has been terminated. The provisions of this clause 11.2 shall only apply in relation to the termination of a Station Option pursuant to clause 2.12 and not to the termination of the acquisition of a
Station pursuant to clauses 7.5, 10.6.3 and 23.2.

	 	11.3.2	relating to the Operation of the Station after the Closure Date shall be borne by the Secretary of State in accordance with and to the extent contemplated by the NLFA.


  
 Time allocation

reimbursed to the order of the selling BEG Entity as soon as practicable after receipt by the Secretary of State of evidence satisfactory to the Secretary of State (acting reasonably) that such costs and expenses have been reasonably and properly
incurred. 

  

	11.6	Any costs and expenses incurred by the Secretary of State which are to be borne by any member of the Group pursuant to this clause 11 (Allocation of Costs) shall be

	11.7	If the Secretary of State is not provided with at least 24 months’ notice prior to the deferral of the Scheduled Closure Date of a Station pursuant to clause 10.1 (A) of
the NLFA, the relevant BEG Entity shall reimburse to the order of the Secretary of State an amount equal to all costs, expenses and losses incurred by the Secretary of State and, if applicable, the Station Purchaser as a result of such deferral.

	 	11.8.2	from the Early Closure Notice Date until the Early Closure Date of that Station or, if that Early Closure Date is more than two years after the Early Closure Notice Date, in the two

	11.9	For the purposes of clause 11.8 “additional costs” means those costs which the relevant BEG Entity incurs prior to the Effective Date in connection with the
operation of the relevant Station which would not have been incurred but for the exercise of the Option to Operate by the Secretary of State less the aggregate of an amount equal to the benefits that that BEG Entity receives in connection with the
operation of the relevant Station up to the Effective Date which would not have been received but for the exercise of the Option to Operate by the Secretary of State. If the amount of such benefits exceed the amount of such costs, the relevant BEG
Entity shall pay an amount equal to such excess to the order of the Secretary of State promptly after the Effective Date.

if, at Completion, any stationery (including promotional material) is delivered or supplied to a Station Purchaser under this Agreement, the Station Purchaser may sell or otherwise dispose of such stationery or use that stationery. The Station
Purchaser may also use on a costs free basis any of the Station Assets and any other materials bearing any trade mark, service mark, trade name, business name or sign (each, for the purposes of this clause 12.3, a “Trade Mark”) of
the selling BEG Entity (or other member of the Group) for a period of: 

  

	 	12.3.1	2 months after Completion, in the case of any of the marks the subject of the trade mark registrations or applications listed in Part A of Schedule 23 (Excluded

 if necessary for the proper Operation of that Station. 
  

	12.4	Subject to clause 12.3, the selling BEG Entity shall not, and BE plc shall procure that no member of the Group shall, do or omit to do anything which would prevent the
Station Purchaser from obtaining the full benefit and enjoyment of the business goodwill (if any) relating to the business carried on at that Station and shall not do or omit to do anything to discourage customers and suppliers of the Station and
the relevant Station Employees to deal with or work for the Station Purchaser in place of the selling BEG Entity, provided that nothing shall prejudice that BEG Entity from making factual statements to appropriate representatives of affected
employees to comply with its obligations pursuant to Regulation 10 of the Regulations.

	12.6	The selling BEG Entity shall, and BE plc shall procure that each member of the Group shall, neither pending nor within 18 months after Completion directly or indirectly solicit or
entice away from the employment of the Station Purchaser any employee who was at the relevant Completion Date employed at an annual salary in excess of £20,000, nor assist any other person to do the same, provided that nothing in this
clause 12.6 shall prohibit any member of the Group from employing any individual who responds to a public advertisement which is not targeted at him and without further solicitation. 

  

	13.	TRANSFER OF CONTRACTS 

  
 Assignment: no Third Party Consent required 
  

	13.1	A Station Purchaser shall become entitled upon Completion of the acquisition of any Station to the benefits and rights of the selling BEG Entity under the Contracts relating to such
Station and this Agreement shall constitute an assignment of the benefit of all such Contracts (save for any Scottish Contracts) to the Station Purchaser with effect from Completion. This Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or attempted
assignment or assignation of any Contract if the assignment or assignation or attempted assignment or assignation would constitute a breach of such Contract. 

  

	13.2	In respect of each Scottish Contract for which no Third Party Consent is required to assignation of the same, and assignation to the Station Purchaser is not a breach of such
Scottish Contract, at and with effect from Completion the selling BEG Entity and the Station Purchaser shall enter into and validly execute in accordance with the Requirements of Writing (Scotland) Act 1995 an assignation of the relevant Scottish
Contract in a form to be agreed between the selling BEG Entity and the Station Purchaser (or, where another member of the Group is party to the Scottish Contract in question, the selling BEG Entity shall procure that the relevant member of the Group
enters into an assignation thereof). The Station Purchaser undertakes to the selling BEG Entity validly to intimate any such assignation to the third party under the Scottish Contract in question forthwith upon such assignation being entered into
between the parties and at the same time to copy such intimation to the selling BEG Entity.

 Assignment: Third Party Consent required 
  

	13.3	Where a Third Party Consent is required to the assignment or assignation of the benefit of any Contract to a Station Purchaser, the Station Purchaser and the selling BEG Entity
shall each be responsible (both before and after Completion and at their own expense) for obtaining, and shall each use all reasonable endeavours to obtain, any such Third Party Consent. Upon whichever is the later of Completion and any such Third
Party Consent being obtained, this Agreement shall constitute an assignment of the benefit of the Contract (save for any Scottish Contracts) to which that Third Party Consent relates. 

  

	13.4	In respect of each of the Scottish Contracts where a Third Party Consent is required to effect the assignation of the same and assignation to the Station Purchaser is not a breach
of such Scottish Contract, upon whichever is the later of Completion and any such Third Party Consent being obtained, the selling BEG Entity and the Station Purchaser shall enter into and validly execute in accordance with the Requirements of
Writing (Scotland) Act 1995, an assignation of the relevant Scottish Contract in a form to be agreed between the selling BEG Entity and the Station Purchaser (or, where another member of the Group is party to the Scottish Contract in question, the
selling BEG Entity shall procure that the relevant member of the Group enters into an assignation thereof). The Station Purchaser undertakes to the selling BEG Entity validly to intimate any such assignation to the third party under the Scottish
Contract in question forthwith upon such assignation being entered into between the parties and at the same time to copy such intimation to the selling BEG Entity. 

  
 Novation 
  

	13.5	The Station Purchaser and the selling BEG Entity shall each be responsible (both before and after Completion and at their own expense) for entering into and procuring that all
relevant third parties enter into a novation agreement (in a form satisfactory to the Station Purchaser (acting reasonably)) in respect of any Contracts specified by that Station Purchaser with the intent that, with effect from whichever is the
later of Completion and the date such novation agreement is entered into, the Station Purchaser shall perform the Contract and be bound by it as if the Station Purchaser were a party to that Contract in lieu of the selling BEG Entity as from
the date of its novation and the selling BEG Entity shall be released from the further performance of such Contract and any liability under such Contract. The Station Purchaser shall, by notice to the selling BEG Entity as soon as possible following
the exercise of the Station Option by the Secretary of State, specify the Contracts to be novated pursuant to this clause 13.5. 

  
 Action pending Third Party Consent 
  

	13.6	After Completion, and until any necessary Third Party Consent to the assignment or assignation of a Contract is obtained or a novation agreement has been entered into in respect of
a Contract in accordance with this clause 13 (Transfer of Contracts) or the 

  


	****	indicates information which has been omitted and filed separately with the Commission 

  
 - 41 - 








 Station Purchaser makes an election pursuant to clause 13.7, the following provisions shall apply:

  

	 	13.6.1	if it is permissible under the Contract, the selling BEG Entity shall be treated as holding the benefit of that Contract on trust for the Station Purchaser and any benefit received
by that BEG Entity under such Contract shall be promptly paid over to the Station Purchaser; and 

  

	 	13.6.2	if it is permissible under the Contract, the Station Purchaser shall perform on behalf of the selling BEG Entity, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of clause
14.4, the obligations of the selling BEG Entity under that Contract arising after Completion. 

  
 Failure to assign or novate Contracts 
  

	13.7	If any Third Party Consent to the assignment or assignation of a Contract is not obtained or a novation agreement is not entered into in respect of a Contract in accordance with
this clause 13 (Transfer of Contracts) in either case within two months after the Completion Date (or such longer period as the selling BEG Entity and the Station Purchaser shall agree), that Contract shall, if the Station Purchaser
elects in writing, be treated as having been excluded from the sale and acquisition of the relevant Station under this Agreement so that the parties’ obligations in respect of the assignment or novation of that Contract shall end immediately
after such election is made, and neither party shall have any further obligation to the other relating to such Contract. 

  
 BNFL Contracts 
  

	13.8	Clause 13.9 shall apply in respect of the BNFL Contracts if the Secretary of State exercises a Station Option. 

  

	13.9	The Station Purchaser and the selling BEG Entity shall each be responsible (at its own expense) for obtaining and shall each use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that, as at and
with effect from Completion, the counterparties to each BNFL Contract consent to the accession of the Station Purchaser to that contract on terms which provide for an equitable apportionment of the rights and obligations under each such contract.
Any such apportionment shall be made having regard, amongst other things, to: 

  

	 	13.9.1	the number of Stations in connection with which a Station Option has been exercised; and 

  

	 	13.9.2	whether or not those Stations are operating or in the process of being decommissioned. 

  
 Without prejudice to the generality of this clause 13.9, the requirement to ensure an equitable apportionment of the
rights and obligations under the BNFL Contracts shall apply to the fuel management services being provided under, and the liability allocation specified in, each BNFL Contract. The Station Purchaser and the selling BEG Entity shall ensure that,
prior to the accession of the Station Purchaser to each BNFL Contract, appropriate amendments to each such contract are made to reflect the agreement reached between the parties.

 Contract termination 
  

	13.10	If requested to do so by the Secretary of State or a Station Purchaser, the relevant BEG Entity shall, with effect from Completion if the Contract specified in such request relates:


  

	 	13.10.1	solely to the Station being acquired, terminate the Contract specified in such request except where such termination would constitute a breach of that Contract; and


  

	 	13.10.2	to a number of Stations not all of which are being acquired, ensure that the provisions of the Contract which would otherwise apply to the Station being acquired are disapplied or
terminated in so far as they affect the Station being acquired, except where such disapplication or termination would constitute a breach of that Contract. 

  
 Excluded Contracts 
  

	13.11	Without prejudice to any claims which a Station Purchaser might have under clause 23 (Station Purchaser’s Remedies) or otherwise, if in connection with the sale
and acquisition of a Station under this Agreement, the selling BEG Entity has omitted to give full, complete and accurate details of, or to disclose the existence of, a Contract to the relevant Station Purchaser prior to Completion, then the Station
Purchaser may elect in writing, within one month after becoming aware of such details or the existence of such Contract (as the case may be), that such Contract shall: 

  

	 	13.11.1	be excluded from the sale and acquisition of that Station under this Agreement so that the parties’ obligations under this Agreement in respect of the assignment or novation of
that Contract shall end immediately after such election is made; or 

  

	 	13.11.2	be treated as and deemed to be a Contract to be assigned or novated with the intent that, amongst other things, the obligations of the selling BEG Entity with regard to the
assignment, assignation or novation of Contracts under this clause 13 (Transfer of Contracts) shall apply to that Contract. 

  

Further assurance 
  

	13.12	The Station Purchaser agrees to do each act reasonably requested of it by the selling BEG Entity to enable the performance by the selling BEG Entity of each Contract in accordance
with this clause 13 (Transfer of Contracts).

	14.2	“Assumed Obligations” in connection with the sale and acquisition of a Station under this Agreement means: 

  

	 	14.2.1	subject to clause 14.4, all obligations and liabilities of the selling BEG Entity under the Contracts relating to that Station which have been assigned or novated to the
Station Purchaser or which the Station Purchaser otherwise agrees to perform or assume responsibility for, in each case pursuant to clause 13 (Transfer of Contracts); 

  

	 	14.2.2	if clause 13.9 applies, those obligations and liabilities in respect of the BNFL Contracts which the Station Purchaser accedes to, or agrees to be bound by, under clause
13.9; and 

  

	 	14.2.3	all business rates, rents, expenses and other periodic outgoings in respect of the Station Site for any period of time after Completion.

(Environmental Matters) and clause 28.4, any Excluded Liabilities or any other liabilities of any member of the Group, or obligations for which any member of the Group is responsible under any provision of any Liabilities Document
(subject to the terms and conditions set out in the relevant Liabilities Document). 
  
 Increased Excluded Liabilities 
  

	14.3	The Secretary of State shall be responsible for any Increased Excluded Liabilities and shall reimburse each BE Party in respect of any Increased Excluded Liabilities incurred by it.


  
 Contract obligations 
  

	14.4	Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Station Purchaser undertakes that from Completion of the acquisition of a Station it will perform the outstanding obligations and
liabilities under the Contracts relating to that Station to the extent that they arise in respect of the operation of the Station by the Station Purchaser, provided that this undertaking shall cease to apply in relation to any Contract in respect of
which the Station Purchaser makes an election pursuant to clause 13.7 or 13.11. Notwithstanding this undertaking, nothing in this Agreement shall: 

  

	 	14.4.1	require the Station Purchaser to perform any such obligation falling due for performance, or which should have been performed, before Completion, or to pay for services or products
supplied or delivered to the selling BEG Entity before Completion;

	 	14.4.2	make a Station Purchaser liable for any act, default, neglect or omission in respect of any of the Contracts committed by the selling BEG Entity and occurring before Completion;


  

	 	14.4.3	impose any obligation on a Station Purchaser for, or in respect of, any service performed by, or any product supplied by, the selling BEG Entity before Completion; or


  

	 	14.4.4	require the Station Purchaser to perform any obligation under any of the contracts falling within paragraphs (A) to (H) of the definition of Contracts (except where
dealt with under a separate agreement between the selling BEG Entity or any other member of the Group and the Station Purchaser) or is otherwise dealt with specifically under this Agreement, 

  
 and the BE Parties jointly and severally indemnify the Secretary of State
and the Station Purchaser against all charges, claims, costs, demands, liabilities or losses whatsoever arising from any such matters under this clause 14.4 except to the extent that the Secretary of State or the Station Purchaser explicitly
assumes responsibility (whether through express, or clear implication of, the provisions of this Agreement) for such charges, claims, costs, demands, liabilities or losses under this Agreement or, in respect of Contracts, under the terms of an
agreed form assignment or novation agreement. 
  
 Selling BEG
Entity’s continued obligations 
  

	14.5	Subject to the preceding provisions of this clause 14 (Assumed Obligations), the selling BEG Entity, in respect of each Station, shall continue to be
responsible for and shall promptly discharge all debts, liabilities and obligations in connection with the Station which are not expressly the responsibility of the Station Purchaser under the terms of this Agreement (even if assumed by the Station
Purchaser by operation of law). 

  
 Allocation of
costs and benefits 
  

	14.6	The parties acknowledge and agree that at any time during which a party bears the costs and expenses relating to the Operation of a Station, that party shall be entitled to receive
the rights and benefits of the Operation of that Station.

	15.1	The provisions of: 

  

	 	15.1.1	the NLFA insofar as it relates to Environmental Matters, including without limitation the provisions of clause 6 of the NLFA in relation to Excluded Liabilities; and

	15.2	If the Option to Operate is exercised in relation to a Station, the BE Environmental Indemnification shall not apply to any Environmental Matter in relation to that Station which is
first caused, arises or comes into existence after the Effective Date, except to the extent resulting from a failure by any member of the Group to comply with the Minimum Performance Standard after the Effective Date but prior to Completion. For the
purposes of this clause 15.2 “failure” does not include failures due to the instruction of the Secretary of State or Station Purchaser. 

  

	15.3	If the Option to Decommission is exercised in relation to a Station, the BE Environmental Indemnification shall not apply to any Environmental Matter in relation to that Station
which is first caused, arises or comes into existence after the Effective Date.

	 	15.4.1	the BE Environmental Indemnification shall not apply to any contamination or pollution of soil, surface water, sub-surface water or groundwater in relation to that Station which is
not discovered and notified by the Secretary of State to the selling BEG Entity prior to the Station being placed into safestore and entering a quiescent and stable period of care and maintenance with no substantial ongoing active Decommissioning
taking place in relation to that Station; 

  

	 	15.4.2	the BE Environmental Indemnification shall not apply to the extent that the relevant liability, loss, charge, cost or expense is created or increased as the result of receptors
being introduced onto the Station Site following Decommissioning which are of increased sensitivity compared to those reasonably foreseeable in connection with general industrial use; 

  

	 	15.4.3	the BE Environmental Indemnification shall not apply to the costs of carrying out Environmental Works which are not required by the relevant regulatory authorities and bodies to be
carried out, provided that the relevant person shall be entitled to establish the requirements of the relevant regulatory authorities and bodies by dealing with them in a reasonable manner consistent with the conduct of a reasonable and prudent
operator of the Station who did not have the benefit of the BE Environmental Indemnification; and 

  

	 	15.4.4	the Secretary of State and any Station Purchaser making a claim under the BE Environmental Indemnification shall ensure that all reasonable steps are taken to mitigate any claim
under the BE Environmental Indemnification in respect of Environmental Matters, provided that this obligation shall not prevent any person from carrying out investigations, making reports and otherwise dealing with the relevant regulatory
authorities and bodies and third parties in a reasonable manner consistent with the conduct of a reasonable and prudent operator of the Station who did not have the benefit of the BE Environmental Indemnification.

	15.5	For the avoidance of doubt, the BE Environmental Indemnification does not apply to Decommissioning Only Environmental Works (as defined in Schedule 4 of the NLFA).

Station Purchaser to be substituted for the selling BEG Entity on Completion as the insured under all the insurance policies relating to that Station and will, if the Station Purchaser has been so substituted for the selling BEG Entity, at
Completion, deliver a letter or letters from the relevant insurers confirming that the Station Purchaser is covered by the relevant policies in place of the selling BEG Entity until the next renewal date of the relevant policies.


  

	17.	EMPLOYEES 

  

	17.1	The parties envisage that the Regulations may apply as a consequence of the terms of this Agreement in a number of circumstances including, but not limited to, some or all of the
following: 

  

	 	17.1.1	the sale and acquisition of any Station under this Agreement (unless the Station Purchaser enters into an M&O Contract); 

  

	 	17.1.2	the termination of an M&O Contract (unless the Station Purchaser enters into a Defuelling Contract); 

  

	 	17.1.3	the termination of a Partial Closure M&O Contract; 

  

	 	17.1.4	the termination of a Defuelling Contract;

 Where the Regulations apply, the contracts of employment of the relevant Transferring Employees and any collective agreement made by or governing the
relevant member of the Group and any Transferring Employee will have effect from the Transfer Time as if originally made between the relevant Station Purchaser or Third Party Service Provider and those Transferring Employees (subject to the
provisions of the Regulations from time to time) unless any potential Transferring Employee objects to being transferred in accordance with Regulation 5(4A) of the Regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this clause 17
(Employees) shall impose on the Station Purchaser any duties or obligations in respect of contracts of employment or collective agreements which do not transfer to it in accordance with the provisions of the Regulations or other applicable
laws as in force at the relevant time.

 and any necessary apportionments shall be made as at the Transfer Time (save in relation to bonus payments which shall be dealt with in accordance with
clause 17.3 below), and clauses 11.5, 11.6 and 11.12 shall apply in respect of any necessary reimbursements. 
  

	17.3	The Station Purchaser shall, at the end of the financial year in which the Transfer Date occurs, determine the bonus payable in respect of the Transferring Employees to the extent
that relevant performance targets have been satisfied. The Station Purchaser shall notify the relevant BE Party of the total amounts of bonus payable and the proportion payable by the relevant BE Party pro-rated on a time basis in accordance with
clause 17.2 above. Following such notification, clauses 11.5, 11.6 and 11.12 shall apply in respect of any necessary reimbursement. 

  

	17.4	The relevant BE Party shall comply with its obligations to inform and/or consult with the relevant Station Employees and/or their representatives pursuant to Regulations 10 and 10A
of the Regulations and the Station Purchaser shall provide that BE Party in writing with all such information as may be necessary to enable that BE Party to comply with such obligations. 

  

	17.5	As soon as reasonably practicable prior to any Transfer Date the parties shall seek to agree the identity of the Transferring Employees and the relevant BE Party shall disclose a
list of such Transferring Employees to the Station Purchaser. 

  

	17.6	Where any Transferring Employee becomes employed by the Station Purchaser or any Third Party Service Provider but is based at the premises of a member of the Group, then the BE
Parties will negotiate with the Station Purchaser or Third Party Service Provider with a view to agreeing the terms of a licence for such employees to continue to be based at such premises on reasonable commercial terms having regard to the amount
of space and services required. 

  

	17.7	Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the provisions of clause 28.4 shall be directly enforceable by the Third Party Service Provider referred to therein
although the clause may be amended by the parties without the consent of such Third Party Service Providers.

	17.8	If it comes to the parties’ attention that the Regulations will shortly operate to transfer the contracts of employment of any employee employed by a member of the Group to a
Third Party Service Provider, as a result of actions taken by a Station Purchaser, then the relevant BE Party and the Station Purchaser will negotiate with the Third Party Service Provider so that the rights and obligations of the Station Purchaser
under clauses 17.1, 17.2, 17.3, 17.4, 17.5, 17.6, 28.1 (as applicable), 28.2 and 28.3 (as applicable) become the rights and obligations of the Third Party Service Provider.


  

	17.9	If requested by a BE Party following the Transfer Time in respect of any Transferring Employee, the Station Purchaser shall provide or procure the provision of the services of any
Essential Transferring Employee to the relevant BE Party on terms which shall be negotiated by the parties in good faith at the appropriate time on the basis of the terms of the relevant Ancillary Services Contract. For the purposes of this
clause 17 (Employees), an “Essential Transferring Employee” shall mean any Transferring Employee who was engaged prior to the Transfer Time in the provision of services essential to the Operation of a Station which a BEG
Entity continues to Operate, including but not limited to those services which are required by any Regulator to be provided in respect of such Station. 

  

	18.	INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY 

  

	18.1	The selling BEG Entity hereby grants the Station Purchaser, or shall (as appropriate) procure the grant by the relevant member of the Group to the Station Purchaser, to come into
effect at the Completion Date for each Station, a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable licence under all Station Intellectual Property (excluding any Station Intellectual Property that is a Station Asset) related to that Station for
the duration of the Operation of that Station (to the extent that such Station Intellectual Property is not already licensed to the Station Purchaser in connection with any other Station or otherwise on terms as favourable to the Station Purchaser
as those of the licence described herein and the scope of which existing licence includes the relevant Station). Each such licence shall include the right to grant sub-licences to the extent necessary for the Operation of the relevant Station, and
shall be freely assignable to any purchaser of such Station from the Station Purchaser (but not otherwise assignable). 

  

	18.2    18.2.1	Subject to clauses 18.2.2 and 18.2.3, during the continuation of each licence granted in clause 18.1, the selling BEG Entity shall, or shall procure that the
relevant member of the Group shall: 

  

	 	(A)	pay all renewal or other maintenance fees in respect of all Station Intellectual Property which is registered or is an application for registration; 

  

	 	(B)	use its reasonable endeavours to prosecute to grant all Station Intellectual Property which is an application for registration; and 

  

	 	(C)	use its reasonable endeavours to enforce against infringers and defend against challengers all Station Intellectual Property (save where the selling BEG Entity, in its sole but
reasonable discretion, considers that such

 enforcement or defence is not reasonably likely to succeed or is not justified by the costs and expenses
expected to be incurred therein), to the extent that such Station Intellectual Property is the subject of any such licence. 
  

	 	18.2.2	The Station Purchaser hereby indemnifies the selling BEG Entity on demand against all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including all renewal and maintenance fees or other registry
fees and all legal and agency charges) reasonably (having regard to the commercial interests of the selling BEG Entity and the Station Purchaser) incurred by the selling BEG Entity or any other member of the Group in complying with clause
18.2.1, provided, in the case of clause 18.2.1(C) that: (i) the selling BEG Entity consults with the Station Purchaser on a case-by-case basis in advance of taking enforcement or defence action and reasonably regularly throughout the
course of such action; and (ii) if the Station Purchaser, in its sole but reasonable discretion, considers that such enforcement or defence is not reasonably likely to succeed or is not in the commercial interests of the Station Purchaser or is not
justified by the costs and expenses expected to be incurred therein, it may refuse to indemnify the selling BEG Entity in which case the selling BEG Entity shall have no obligation to take any such action under clause 18.2.1(C), subject to
invoicing by the selling BEG Entity on 30 day payment terms, save in the proportion representing the extent to which any such Station Intellectual Property is, at the time the cost or expense is incurred, also used in the Operation of any Station
Operated by the selling BEG Entity or is otherwise used by the selling BEG Entity or any member of the Group or any licensees (other than the Station Purchaser) thereof. If the Station Purchaser reasonably considers that any material amount invoiced
to it by the selling BEG Entity pursuant to this clause 18.2.2 is not payable by the Station Purchaser in accordance with this clause 18.2.2, the parties shall agree in good faith within 20 Business Days of the production of any such
invoice what amount of such invoice is payable by the Station Purchaser in accordance with this clause 18.2.2. If the parties cannot reach agreement as aforesaid, the matter shall be referred for Expert Resolution. The selling BEG Entity
shall pay over to the Station Purchaser such proportion of the financial benefits of any enforcement action taken pursuant to clause 18.2.1(C) in the proportion in which the Station Purchaser indemnifies the selling BEG Entity pursuant to
this clause 18.2.2 against the costs and expenses incurred by the selling BEG Entity in connection with such enforcement. 

  

	 	18.2.3	If, during the continuation of each licence granted in clause 18.1, the selling BEG Entity or other relevant member of the Group, wishes to cease payment of renewal or other
maintenance fees in respect of any Station Intellectual Property which is registered, or cease prosecution of any Station Intellectual Property which is an application for registration, in each case to the extent that such Station Intellectual
Property is the subject of any such licence, the selling BEG Entity shall first notify the Station Purchaser and offer to assign such Station Intellectual Property to the Station Purchaser for a nominal consideration. Any such assignment shall be at
the sole expense of the Station Purchaser.

	 	18.2.4	If, during the continuation of each licence granted in clause 18.1, the selling BEG Entity or other relevant member of the Group declines to enforce against infringers and
defend against challengers any Station Intellectual Property that is the subject of such a licence, the Station Purchaser shall be entitled (but not obliged) to take such action, at its own cost and for its own benefit, as it sees fit to enforce or
defend such Station Intellectual Property and the selling BEG Entity shall, subject to the Station Purchaser indemnifying the selling BEG Entity on demand against all reasonably incurred out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including costs orders),
lend all reasonable assistance to the Station Purchaser as the Station Purchaser shall reasonably request including by joining or lending its name to any proceedings. 

  

	 	18.2.5	The Station Purchaser grants to the selling BEG Entity a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-transferable licence (with the right to sub-licence) under: (i) any
Station Intellectual Property which is registered or which is an application for registration and which the Station Purchaser acquires from the selling BEG Entity pursuant to clause 18.2.3; and (ii) any Station Intellectual Property which is
a Station Asset, in each case only: (a) for the Operation of all Stations in respect of which a Station Option has not been exercised; and (b) provided that the selling BEG Entity shall indemnify the Station Purchaser on demand against all
out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including all renewal and maintenance fees or other registry fees and all legal and agency charges) reasonably (having regard to the commercial interests of the selling BEG Entity and the Station Purchaser) incurred
by the Station Purchaser in relation to: 

  

	 	(A)	the payment of renewal or other maintenance fees in respect of all such Station Intellectual Property which is registered or is an application for registration;


  

	 	(B)	the prosecution to grant all such Station Intellectual Property which is an application for registration; and 

  

	 	(C)	the enforcement against infringers and defence against challengers of all such Station Intellectual Property, 

  
 (provided, in the case of clause 18.2.5(C) that: (i) the Station
Purchaser consults with the selling BEG Entity on a case-by-case basis in advance of taking enforcement or defence action and reasonably regularly throughout the course of such action; and (ii) such action is reasonable taking into account the
commercial interests of the selling BEG Entity) subject to invoicing by the Station Purchaser on 30 day payment terms, save in the proportion representing the extent to which any such Station Intellectual Property is, at the time the cost or expense
is incurred, also used in the Operation of the Station Operated by the Station Purchaser or is otherwise used by the Station Purchaser any licensees (other than the selling BEG Entity) thereof. If the selling BEG Entity

reasonably considers that any material amount invoiced to it by the Station Purchaser pursuant to this clause 18.2.5 is not payable by the selling BEG
Entity in accordance with this clause 18.2.5, the parties shall agree in good faith within 20 Business Days of the production of any such invoice what amount of such invoice is payable by the selling BEG Entity in accordance with this
clause 18.2.5. If the parties cannot reach agreement as aforesaid, the matter shall be referred for Expert Resolution. The Station Purchaser shall pay over to the selling BEG Entity such proportion of the financial benefits of any enforcement
action taken pursuant to clause 18.2.1(C) above in the proportion in which the selling BEG Entity indemnifies the Station Purchaser pursuant to this clause 18.2.5 against the costs and expenses incurred by the Station Purchaser in
connection with such enforcement. 
  

	18.3	To the extent that a Station Intellectual Property Licence relevant to a Station can be sub-licensed to the Station Purchaser without the need to obtain any Station Third Party
Licence Consent, the selling BEG Entity hereby grants to the Station Purchaser, or shall (as appropriate) procure the grant by the relevant member of the Group to the Station Purchaser, to come into effect on the relevant Completion Date, a
non-exclusive sub-licence under such Station Intellectual Property Licence for (to the extent permitted by the terms of such Station Intellectual Property Licence) the duration of the Operation of that Station. 

  

	18.4	If any Station Third Party Licence Consent is required for the grant of a sub-licence to the Station Purchaser under a Station Intellectual Property Licence, the selling BEG Entity
shall, at its own cost, use its reasonable endeavours to procure as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant Completion Date such Station Third Party Licence Consent free from all conditions, restrictions and charges (to the extent
possible) for the grant by the selling BEG Entity, or (as appropriate) the relevant member of the Group, of a non-exclusive sub-licence to the Station Purchaser under such Station Intellectual Property Licence for (to the extent permitted by the
terms of such Station Intellectual Property Licence) the duration of the Operation of that Station, such sub-licence also (without prejudice to the obligations on the selling BEG Entity in this clause 18.4) being subject to any terms imposed
by the Station Third Party Licence Consent. Any fee or charge levied by a relevant third party as a condition to the Station Third Party Licence Consent shall be for the sole account of the Station Purchaser. 

  

	18.5	Each sub-licence granted pursuant to clause 18.3 or 18.4 shall be on the same terms mutatis mutandis as the relevant Station Intellectual Property Licence
(including as to payment), and shall (to the extent permitted by the terms of the relevant Station Intellectual Property Licence or the terms of the relevant Station Third Party Licence Consent (if applicable)) include the right to grant further
sub-licences to the extent necessary for the Operation of the relevant Station, and shall be freely assignable to any purchaser of such Station from the Station Purchaser (but not otherwise assignable). 

  

	18.6	The selling BEG Entity shall have no obligation under clause 18.3 or 18.4 to the extent that a Station Intellectual Property Licence is already sub-licensed to the
Station Purchaser in connection with any other Station or otherwise on terms as favourable to the Station Purchaser as those of the licence described in clause 18.1 and the scope of which existing sub-licence includes the relevant Station.

	18.7	For the avoidance of any doubt, this Agreement shall not constitute a sub-licence or attempted sub-licence under any Station Intellectual Property Licence if the grant thereof would
constitute a breach of such Station Intellectual Property Licence. 

  

	18.8	The selling BEG Entity shall at its own cost, from time to time at the request of the Station Purchaser, do or procure the doing of all such acts and execute or procure the
execution of all such documents, in a form satisfactory to the Station Purchaser, which the Station Purchaser may reasonably consider necessary to give full effect to the rights granted to the Station Purchaser under this Agreement in respect of
Station Intellectual Property and Station Intellectual Property Licences and to secure to the Station Purchaser the full benefit of the rights, powers and remedies conferred upon it in this Agreement in respect of Station Intellectual Property and
Station Intellectual Property Licences. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the selling BEG Entity shall forthwith (but no earlier than Completion) on receipt of appropriate documents from the Station Purchaser execute or procure
the execution of assignments of all Station Intellectual Property that is a Station Asset to be transferred to the Station Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and registered or an application for registration and shall furthermore take such steps
or procure the taking of such steps, as soon as reasonably practicable, as are reasonably necessary to enable the Station Purchaser to effect the registration of a change of proprietor of all such Station Intellectual Property. For the avoidance of
doubt, nothing in this clause 18.8 shall in any way prejudice the dispute resolution procedure in clause 30 (Dispute Resolution). 

  

	18.9	The selling BEG Entity shall indemnify the Station Purchaser against all claims, damages, losses, costs and expenses to the extent caused by any whole or partial termination or
variation of any Station Intellectual Property Licence sub-licensed to the Station Purchaser under clause 18.3 or 18.4 arising from any breach thereof or Insolvency Event or wilful termination or variation, in each case on the part of
the selling BEG Entity or any member of the Group. If any Station Intellectual Property Licence is due to be wholly or partially terminated for any reason (except by reason of natural expiry), the selling BEG Entity shall, reasonably promptly upon
becoming aware of the same, use its reasonable endeavours (at its own cost and expense) to procure that such whole or part of the Station Intellectual Property Licence affected is instead novated or assigned to the Station Purchaser. If it is not
possible for the selling BEG Entity to procure such a novation or assignment (whether due to the Station Intellectual Property Licence having been terminated without the selling BEG Entity’s knowledge or otherwise), the selling BEG Entity shall
use its reasonable endeavours to procure that the counterparty to the licence grants a licence to the Station Purchaser on terms equivalent to those of the terminated licence. 

  

	19.	RECORDS AND INFORMATION 

  

	19.1	The selling BEG Entity shall, at Completion of the sale and acquisition of any Station, deliver to the Station Purchaser all the Records relating to that Station.

its Tax affairs and, accordingly, each Station Purchaser shall, upon being given reasonable notice by the selling BEG Entity and subject to the selling BEG Entity giving such undertaking as to confidentiality as the Station Purchaser shall
reasonably require, make such Records available to the selling BEG Entity for inspection (during Working Hours) and copying (at the selling BEG Entity’s expense) in each case for and only to the extent necessary for such purpose and for a
period of two years from Completion. 

  

	19.3	In respect of any Records not delivered to a Station Purchaser following the sale and acquisition of a Station pursuant to this Agreement or any accounting or Tax records which
contain information which relates in part (but not exclusively) to the Station, the selling BEG Entity shall, upon being given reasonable notice by the Station Purchaser and subject to the Station Purchaser or its agents giving such undertaking as
to confidentiality as the selling BEG Entity shall reasonably require, make that part of such Records including accounting or Tax records which do relate to the Station available to the Station Purchaser or its agents for inspection (during Working
Hours) and copying (at the Station Purchaser’s expense) in each case for a period of two years from Completion. 

  

	20.	COSTS AND EXPENSES

 Disclosure 
  

	22.4	A Station Purchaser shall not be entitled to claim that any matter or event causes any of the Acquisition Warranties or the Capacity Warranty detailed in paragraph 1.4 of
Schedule 11 (Representations and Warranties) (together, the “Disclosure Warranties”) in relation to a Station to be breached or renders any Disclosure Warranty misleading if it has been fully and fairly disclosed to

Purchaser knew or could have discovered on or before Completion that the Warranty in question had been breached or was inaccurate or misleading, save where such knowledge or discovery arises by reason of full and fair disclosure under clause
22.3, 22.4 or 22.5.

	23.2	If, between the exercise of a Station Option and Completion, the Station Purchaser or the Secretary of State becomes aware (whether it does so by reason of any disclosure made under
clause 22 (BE Party Warranties and Undertakings) or not) that any of the Warranties is or was materially inaccurate or misleading or that there has been any material breach or breaches of any of the Warranties or any other material
term of this Agreement, the Secretary of State or Station Purchaser may terminate the acquisition of the Station by notice in writing to the selling BEG Entity. The provisions of this clause 23.2 are without prejudice to the Secretary of
State’s right to re-exercise a Station Option in accordance with clause 2.2 in respect of that Station. 

  

	23.3	Without limiting clause 34 (Remedies and Waivers) the Secretary of State and Station Purchaser’s right to terminate the acquisition of a Station in accordance
with clause 23.2 is not exclusive of any right, power and remedies provided by law.

neither it nor any member of the Group will make any claim against any Station Employee or Ancillary Employee on whom it may have relied before agreeing to any terms of this Agreement. 

  

	24.	ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 

  
 The parties agree and acknowledge that the provisions of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to the ability of each BEG Entity to extend the

Station Purchaser prior to settling such Claim and such consultation shall include a reasonable opportunity for the Secretary of State and the Station Purchaser to make representations to BE plc and the selling BEG Entity in respect of the
settlement of such Claim. BE plc and the selling BEG Entity shall take reasonable account of such representations in making their decision to settle any Claim. This clause 25.4 shall operate without prejudice to the indemnity obligations set

	26.2	Interest on each sum shall accrue from day to day and shall be compounded on each anniversary of the due date for payment.

	 	(A)	nothing in this Agreement shall prevent each BEG Entity from taking such action as is necessary: 

  

	 	(i)	in an emergency to prevent, mitigate or remedy any event that may prejudice the safety of employees or the public or may harm the environment; or

	 	28.1A.1	from the waiver in whole or in part of all or any of the Completion Conditions pursuant to clause 7.3;

conditions of it or the Station Purchaser’s proposed changes to the relevant Station Employees’ terms and conditions of employment constituting an anticipatory repudiatory breach of any Station Employee’s employment contract.


  
 BE Party indemnities 
  

	28.3	Without restricting the rights of the Secretary of State or any Station Purchaser or their ability to claim damages on any basis, each BE Party jointly and severally undertakes to

	 	28.3.5	subject to clause 28.1.3, any failure by a BE Party to comply with its obligations under Regulation 10 of the Regulations; 

  

	 	28.3.6	any breach of clause 17.2 by a BE Party; 

  

	 	28.3.7	any other act or omission done by a BE Party in relation to any Transferring Employee on or before the Transfer Time. 

  
 Redundancy Costs indemnity 
  

	28.4	If any Transferring Employees are dismissed on the grounds of redundancy (as defined under section 139 of the Employment Rights Act 1996), the relevant BE Party shall indemnify the
Station Purchaser or Third Party Service Provider for any Redundancy Costs incurred by it in the provided that the relevant BE Party’s liability shall be limited to the following fraction of the Redundancy Costs: 

  
 

 
  
 where: 
  

	 	A	is the period of the redundant Transferring Employee’s continuous employment less any proportion of that Transferring Employee’s continuous employment which exists as a

Station); and 

  

	 	B	is the redundant Transferring Employee’s period of continuous employment with the BE Party and the Station Purchaser. 

  
 For the avoidance of doubt, A will include the period of employment after
the Transfer Time during which the Transferring Employee would have continued in employment had he remained an employee of the relevant BE Party and shall exclude any period of employment after the date upon which a Transferring Employee would have
been made redundant had the BE Party Closed the Station on its Scheduled Closure Date and shall exclude any period of employment after the date upon which a Transferring Employee would have been made redundant had the BE Party Closed the Station on
its Scheduled Closure Date.

	28.5	For the purposes of clause 28.4, the term “Redundancy Costs” shall mean all payments that the Station Purchaser or Third Party Service Provider is obliged to
pay to any Transferring Employee on the termination of their employment on the grounds of redundancy, whether under (i) section 135 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, (ii) the Transferring Employee’s contractual entitlement in place at the
relevant Transfer Time or (iii) in accordance with a discretionary policy applied by BE in respect of the last set of redundancies prior to that Transfer Time which would have applied to the transferring Employee as of the Transfer Time. For the
avoidance of doubt, Redundancy Costs: 

  

	 	28.5.1	shall be calculated by reference to the lesser of (i) the individual’s actual salary at the date of termination of employment and (ii) his notional salary being his actual
salary at the Transfer Time increased on each anniversary thereof by the then current figure for the Retail Price Index plus 2% per annum, compounded; 

  

	 	28.5.2	shall exclude any compensation payable for the manner in which the dismissal is carried out (including but not limited to unfair dismissal and/or breach of the Sex Discrimination
Act 1975, the Race Relations Act 1976 and the Disability Discrimination Act 1975); 

  

	 	28.5.3	shall exclude any ex gratia or non-contractual payment that the Station Purchaser or Third Party Service Provider agrees to provide to the Transferring Employee or any of its
dependants or relatives except where covered by paragraph (iii) above; and 

  

	 	28.5.4	shall include any additional cost that is calculated by an actuary nominated by the Station Purchaser (and agreed by the actuary to the British Energy Generation Group of the
Electricity Supply Pension Scheme (the “British Energy Scheme”) or in default of agreement determined by the scheme actuary to the Electricity Supply Pension Scheme (the “ESPS”)) as being payable by the Station
Purchaser or Third Party Service Provider in the provision of an enhancement to the Transferring Employee’s pension entitlement to the extent that his entitlement to such enhancement arises consequent on his redundancy in accordance with the
provisions of the pension scheme provided by the Station Purchaser or Third Party Service Provider; provided that if, but for this proviso, the additional cost would exceed the additional cost that would have been payable by the Transferring
Employee’s employer under the rules of the British Energy Scheme consequent on redundancy if the Transferring Employee had remained in contributing membership of the British Energy Scheme on and after Completion and until being made redundant
by the Station Purchaser or Third Party Service Provider (the “Notional British Energy Contribution”) (without taking account of the funding position of the British Energy Scheme), then the additional contribution for the purposes
of this indemnity shall be limited to the amount of the Notional British Energy Contribution, which shall be determined by the actuary to the British Energy Scheme as a lump sum (and agreed by an

 actuary nominated by the Station Purchaser) (or in default of agreement determined by the scheme actuary
to the ESPS) but provided further that the Transferring Employee’s salary for the purposes of the additional contribution shall be determined in accordance with clause 28.5.1. 
  
 Payment mechanics for indemnities 
  

	28.6	Any payment made under clause 28.1 or 28.2 shall be payable to the relevant BEG Entity or at that BEG Entity’s direction, whether or not it has attempted to

	28.7	Any payment under clause 28.3 shall be payable to the Secretary of State or the Station Purchaser (as the case may be) at her or its direction whether or not the Secretary of

	28.8	Any payment under clause 28.4 shall be payable to the Station Purchaser or the Third Party Service Provider (as the case may be) at the direction of the Station Purchaser or
the Third Party Service Provider (as the case may be) whether or not it has attempted to enforce any rights against a BE Party or any other person or otherwise. 

  

	29.	LIMITATION ON LIABILITY 

  
 No claim shall be brought against a BE Party by the Secretary of State or the Station Purchaser (the “Claimant”) in respect of any of the
Warranties unless the Claimant has given to that BE Party written notice (“Claim Notice”) of such claim specifying (in reasonable detail): 
  

	 	29.1.1	the matter which gives rise to the claim; 

  

	 	29.1.2	the nature of the claim; and 

  

	 	29.1.3	the amount claimed in respect thereof, 

  
 on or prior to the second anniversary of the relevant Completion Date. The liability of that BE Party in respect of such claim shall absolutely determine
(if such claim has not been previously satisfied, settled or withdrawn) if legal proceedings in respect of such claim have not been commenced within six months of the service of such Claim Notice and, for this purpose, proceedings shall not be
deemed to have been commenced unless they shall have been properly issued and validly served upon the relevant BE Party.

	 	30.3.2	by arbitration in all other circumstances.

	30.4	If, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, a Dispute requires resolution by an Expert, the Disputing Parties shall use their reasonable endeavours to agree the type and identity
of the Expert to be appointed. 

  

	30.5	If the Disputing Parties do not agree, within 10 Business Days of the expiry of the Initial Resolution Period: 

  

	 	30.5.1	as to the type of Expert to be appointed, the matter shall be referred to the Chairman of the City Disputes Panel (“CDP”) who shall be requested to determine, as
soon as practicable after such referral, the appropriate type of Expert to resolve the Dispute; or 

  

	 	30.5.2	as to the identity of the Expert to be appointed, the matter shall be referred to the President, Chairman or other senior representative of the appropriate professional body who
shall be requested to determine, as soon as practicable after such referral, the identity of the Expert to resolve the Dispute. 

  
 If clause 30.5.1 applies, the Disputing Parties shall use their reasonable endeavours to agree the identity of the Expert within 10 Business Days
of the CDP’s determination. If agreement on the identity of the Expert is not reached within such period, clause 30.5.2 shall apply. Any Expert selected pursuant to this clause 30.5 shall be an “Expert” for the
purposes of the remaining provisions of this clause 30 (Dispute Resolution). 
  

	30.6	The procedure to be followed in order to resolve the Dispute shall be decided by the Expert, save that such procedure shall include the taking of submissions from each of the
Disputing Parties. 

  

	30.7	Each Disputing Party shall provide or procure the provision to the Expert of all such information as the Expert shall reasonably require, including provision of such information by
its advisers, and shall give all such assistance to the Expert as the Expert shall reasonably require and as shall be required to allow the Expert to reach a decision as soon as reasonably practicable. 

  

	30.8	The Expert shall be instructed to make a determination in respect of the Dispute within the shortest practical time from his appointment and to deliver a report to the Disputing
Parties stating his opinion as to the matters under dispute.

	30.9	Any Expert shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator. 

  

	30.10	The decision of the Expert shall, in the absence of fraud or manifest error, be final and binding on the parties in dispute. 

  

	30.11	The costs of the Expert shall be paid by the parties in dispute equally or as otherwise determined by the Expert. 

  
 Arbitration 
  

	30.12	If a Dispute arises which is not expressly required by this Agreement to be referred to Expert Resolution and it is not resolved by the Disputing Parties within the Initial
Resolution Period (or such longer period as the parties may mutually agree), the Dispute shall be referred to arbitration in accordance with clause 30.13. 

  

	30.13	Any dispute to be referred to arbitration under this Agreement shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the Rules of the London Court of International
Arbitration, which rules are deemed to be incorporated into this clause 30.13. The tribunal shall consist of one arbitrator. The seat of arbitration shall be London. The language of arbitration shall be English. 

  
 Interlocutory relief 
  

	30.14	Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent a party from applying to the court for interlocutory relief to preserve the position of the parties pending the resolution of a Dispute in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement unless the application for such relief is intended to impede the procedures detailed in this clause 30 (Dispute Resolution). 

  

	31.	VARIATION 

  
 Subject to any other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be varied unless such variation shall have been expressly agreed in writing by
each of the parties to this Agreement (or one of its duly authorised representatives). For the avoidance of doubt, variations are not required to be agreed by the Station Purchaser (where the Station Purchaser is not the Secretary of State).

  

	32.	NO PARTNERSHIP 

  
 Nothing in this Agreement and no action taken by the parties shall constitute a partnership, association, joint venture or other co-operative entity
between any of the parties.

	33.2	Any sums payable under this Agreement to: 

  

	 	33.2.1	a BE Party by the Secretary of State or a Station Purchaser; or 

  

	 	33.2.2	the Secretary of State or a Station Purchaser by a BE Party, 

  
 shall, if applicable, be deemed to be exclusive of VAT. 
  

	33.3	Where, notwithstanding the provisions of clause 33.3, a BE Party makes a supply to the Secretary of State or the Station Purchaser of a Station (or any part thereof) for VAT
purposes and VAT is or becomes chargeable on such supply, the Secretary of State or the Station Purchaser shall pay to the BE Party (in addition to providing any other consideration specified in this Agreement for such supply) a sum equal to the
amount of such VAT on the production of a valid VAT invoice in respect of such transfer in accordance with any instructions issued by the Secretary of State (including, without limitation, concerning the addressee of the invoice).


  

	33.4	The BE Parties and the Secretary of State intend that the transfer of any Station or any part thereof is outside the scope of VAT either because article 5 of the Value Added Tax
(Special Provisions) Order 1995 shall apply to the transfer of the Station or part thereof pursuant to this Agreement or because the transfer of the Station or part thereof is not deemed to be a supply in the course or furtherance of a business, and
each BE Party and the Secretary of State agrees to use all reasonable endeavours to secure that such transfer is treated as being outside the scope of VAT. Such endeavours shall include the selling BEG Entity requesting a VAT ruling from HM Customs
& Excise. If the relevant selling BEG Entity receives a ruling stating that VAT is due on the transfer of a Station (or any part thereof), each BE Party will provide reasonable assistance to the Secretary of State in contesting the ruling where
in all the circumstances it is reasonable to contest such ruling. 

  

	33.5	The Secretary of State or the Station Purchaser, as applicable, warrants and undertakes that it will by no later than the Completion Date be registered for VAT and agrees that it
will notify the selling BEG Entity if it will not after the Completion Date use the Station to carry on the same kind of business for VAT purposes as that carried on by the selling BEG Entity. 

  

	34.	REMEDIES AND WAIVERS 

  

	34.1	No delay or omission by any party to this Agreement in exercising any right, power or remedy provided by law or under this Agreement or any other document referred to in it shall
affect that right, power or remedy or operate as a waiver of it. 

  

	34.2	The single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy provided by law or under this Agreement shall not preclude any other or further exercise of it or the exercise of any
other right, power or remedy. 

  

	34.3	The rights, powers and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers and remedies provided by law.

assignee had executed this Agreement subject only to the provisions of the Deed of Adherence. 

  

	35.5	If a BEG Entity ceases to own any Station (save as a result of a breach of the disposal or assignment provisions in any of the Liabilities Documents), the Secretary of State accepts
and agrees that: 

  

	 	35.5.1	any obligations arising under this Agreement after the date of such cessation shall cease immediately following the satisfaction of the conditions detailed in clause 35.2
and 35.3 in relation to all of the Stations disposed of by that BEG Entity; and 

  

	 	35.5.2	if required by that BEG Entity, the parties shall execute a Deed of Release.
