Assets; and
	 
	(b)	 	the Assets will at Closing be free from all Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances.





2.4 The Purchaser shall not be obliged to complete the purchase of any of the Assets under this

its own good faith allocation of the Purchase Price among the Assets for purposes of its accounting
records and Tax Returns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Parties acknowledge that the entire
Purchase Price shall be allocated between the Assets provided by MML. Any allocation made under

possible) as the Purchaser shall decide, acting reasonably.

the Excluded Assets, provided that the Selling Parties will make good any physical damage to the
Property thereby occasioned.

it directly in connection with all such things done or omitted to be done in relation to any of the
Assets before Closing and all the Liabilities.



10.2 The benefit of all orders relating to the Contracts which are placed with any of the Selling

and to promptly forward to the Purchaser any documentation or payments received by them after
Closing in connection with the Contracts.



10.3 All periodical charges and periodical outgoings related to the Assets (other than those
specifically dealt with under the Lease) shall be apportioned on a time basis so that such part of
the relevant charges attributable to the period ending on the Closing Date shall be borne by the
Selling Parties and such part of the relevant charges attributable to the period commencing on the
day immediately following the Closing Date shall be borne by the Purchaser. All periodical
receipts relating to the Assets shall be apportioned between the Selling Parties and the Purchaser
on a like basis.



10.4 For three years following the Closing Date, the Selling Parties shall provide the Purchaser
(at the Purchaser’s cost) with reasonable access within Working Hours to (and the right to take
copies of) the records held by them immediately after Closing (such records to be maintained in
safekeeping by the Selling Parties (at their own cost) for the duration of the relevant period) to
the extent that they relate to the Business and to the period up to Closing to the extent that such
access is necessary for the purposes of complying with any applicable regulatory requirements.

10.5 For three years following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall provide the Selling Parties
(at the Selling Parties’ cost) with reasonable access within Working Hours to (and the right to
take copies of) the records held by it after Closing (such records to be maintained in safekeeping
by the Purchaser (at its own cost) for the duration of the relevant period) to the extent that they
relate to the Excluded Assets. This obligation is subject to the provisions of clause 19.



10.6 The parties to this Agreement shall if necessary enter into good faith negotiations, and
provide each other with all reasonable assistance, in order to produce such further documentation
as may be required by the Office of Fair Trading in relation to the Proposed Transaction.

respective representatives reasonable access at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to the
books and records and other information regarding MML and the Business, including the work papers
of MML’s independent auditors, solely for the purpose of preparing audited financial statements for
Purchaser in respect of the Business and Assets. Following the Closing MML shall cooperate with
the Purchaser in the preparation of audited financial statements for the Purchaser in respect of
the Business and Assets for the past three fiscal years and any interim periods specified in the
rules of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, all at the Purchaser’s sole expense.

11. Tax 




11.1 Any sums payable by the Purchaser to the Selling Parties under this Agreement are exclusive of
VAT.



11.2 The Selling Parties and the Purchaser agree that any supplies by Coloplast or CP UK to the
Purchaser will be subject to VAT and that, in the case of supplies by Coloplast to the Purchaser,
any such VAT would be payable to H.M. Revenue & Customs by the Purchaser and not by Coloplast.
Coloplast and CP UK agree that they shall, within ten Business Days of Closing, issue to the
Purchaser a valid VAT invoice for any supplies that they have made, and the Purchaser agrees that
it shall pay to the Selling Parties, in addition to any other sums payable under this Agreement, an
amount equal to any VAT specified in the invoice.



11.3 The Selling Parties and the Purchaser intend and shall use all reasonable endeavours to ensure
that section 49(1) VATA and article 5 of the Value Added Tax (Special Provisions) Order 1995 will
apply to the transfer of the Assets and accordingly:




	(a)	 	the Selling Parties and the Purchaser shall on the date of this Agreement or in any event not
later than the Closing Date jointly send a written application to H.M. Revenue & Customs
seeking a ruling as to whether the transfer of the Assets to the Purchaser pursuant to this
Agreement is to be treated as the transfer to the Purchaser of all or part of the business of
the Selling Parties as a going concern within article 5; and
	 
	(b)	 	on Closing, the Selling Parties shall deliver to the Purchaser all records referred to in
section 49 VATA and shall not make any request to HM Revenue & Customs for a direction that
such records be taken out of the custody of the Purchaser, and the Purchaser undertakes to
preserve such records for such period as may be required by law and during that time to permit
the Selling Parties or their agents reasonable access to inspect or copy them at the Selling
Parties’ expense.





11.4 If HM Revenue & Customs determine that all or part of the consideration for the sale and
purchase of the Assets is subject to VAT, the Selling Parties shall issue the Purchaser with a
proper VAT invoice and the Purchaser shall pay to the Selling Parties an amount equal to the VAT
specified in the invoice PROVIDED THAT no VAT shall be payable by the Purchaser in respect of any
part of the consideration attributable to the sale of the whole or any part of the Property if the
Selling Parties are in breach of warranties in clause11.6.



11.5 The Selling Parties and the Purchaser agree that any interest or penalties assessed by H.M.
Revenue & Customs on the Selling Parties as a result of the transfer of the Assets not falling
within Article 5 shall be borne equally between the Selling Parties on the one hand and the
Purchaser on the other. On production by the relevant Selling Party of evidence of the total amount
of any interest or penalties assessed, the Purchaser shall pay to the relevant Selling Party, in
addition to amounts payable under clause 11.4 above, an amount equal to one half of the amount
shown in such evidence.



Page 7









 





11.6 The relevant Selling Party represents and warrants to the Purchaser that:




	(a)	 	it is registered for the purposes of VAT; and
	 
	(b)	 	it has not made an election under paragraph 2 of Schedule 10 to the VATA to waive the
exemption from VAT in respect of the Property.





11.7 The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Selling Parties that:




	(a)	 	that it is a registered taxable person for the purposes of VAT; and
	 
	(b)	 	that with effect from Closing it intends to use the Assets to carry on the same kind of
business as that carried on by the relevant Selling Party in relation to the Assets.





11.8 The Selling Parties and the Purchaser shall, as soon as practicable after Closing, jointly
elect by notice pursuant to section 198 of the Capital Allowances Act 2001, and in accordance with
section 201 of the Capital Allowances Act 2001, with respect to any item of the Furniture, Fixtures
and Equipment which is a fixture (as defined in section 173(1) of the Capital Allowances Act 2001)
so as to fix the amount to be treated as expenditure by the Purchaser on the provision of such item
of the Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment in accordance with Part A of Schedule 9.



12. Warranties




12.1 Coloplast and CP UK jointly and severally warrant to the Purchaser in the terms of the
warranties set out in Schedule 3 (the Seller Warranties), and the Purchaser warrants to the Selling
Parties in the terms of the warranties set out in Schedule 4 (the Purchaser Warranties). Each of
the Seller Warranties set out in the separate paragraphs of Schedule 3 shall be separate and
independent and (except as expressly otherwise provided) shall not be limited by reference to any
other Seller Warranty or by anything in this Agreement or the Disclosure Documents. The Seller
Warranties are given subject to the limitations set out in Schedule 5 provided that such
limitations shall not apply in relation to the Seller Warranties set out in Part A of Schedule 3.



12.2 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the provisions of Schedule 5 shall not
apply to any claim made against Coloplast or CP UK which arises (or to the extent that it is
increased) as a consequence of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by or on behalf of the Selling
Parties.



12.3 The Seller Warranties are deemed to be repeated on the Closing Date and any reference made to
the date of this Agreement (whether express or implied) in relation to any Warranty shall be
construed, in relation to any such repetition, as a reference to the Closing Date.



13. Remedies




13.1 Subject always to Schedule 5, Coloplast and CP UK undertake to the Purchaser (without
restricting the rights of the Purchaser or any remedy it may have



Page 8









 





on any basis available to it if any of the Seller Warranties is breached) to pay to the Purchaser
on demand the aggregate of:




	(a)	 	the full amount by which the value of any Asset (including any Asset warranted to exist which
does not exist) is or becomes less than it would have been if the Seller Warranties had not
been breached;
	 
	(b)	 	an amount equal to any other loss or liability suffered or incurred by the Purchaser directly
or indirectly as a result of any Seller Warranty being breached; and
	 
	(c)	 	all Losses and Expenses suffered or incurred by the Purchaser directly or indirectly as a
result of any Seller Warranty being breached.





13.2 For the avoidance of doubt, the rules of general law relating to claims for damages for breach
of warranty shall not apply to the extent that they might limit the calculation of any amount
payable under this clause 13, save where set out in Schedule 5.



13.3 Coloplast and CP UK further shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold the Purchaser
harmless from and against any and all Losses and Expenses which are suffered or incurred by the
Purchaser, in respect of or arising out of the Liabilities and/or the Excluded Assets.

The Purchaser shall ensure that its or its Affiliates sale of any Stock which is packaged under any
of the Selling Parties’ retained trade marks and trade dress, including the SIMPLA trade mark, is
sold in such a condition so as not to materially damage the reputation of the relevant Selling
Party’s trade mark or goodwill.



15. Termination




15.1 The Purchaser is entitled to treat this Agreement as terminated (in which case it will be
deemed to have been terminated on the terms of this clause), without prejudice to accrued rights
and obligations if:




	(a)	 	a Material Adverse Change occurs before Closing;
	 
	(b)	 	in the period between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date the Selling Parties do,
suffer or permit to be done or agree to do in relation to the Business anything causing a
material breach of the provisions of Schedule 11 (Conduct Pre-Closing), except in accordance
with a prior waiver given by the Purchaser;





Page 9









 






	(c)	 	the Proposed Transaction is referred to the Competition Commission for further investigation
prior to Closing; or
	 
	(d)	 	prior to Closing there is a material breach of a material Seller Warranty which is not cured
by the Selling Parties prior to the Closing Date.





16. Payments

Coloplast’s Bank Account. Coloplast agrees to pay each of the Selling Parties that part of each
payment to which it is entitled in accordance with clause 3. Receipt of such sums in Coloplast’s

of the Assets. It is agreed that:




	(a)	 	no party has entered into this Agreement in reliance upon any representation, warranty or
undertaking of any other party which is not expressly set out or referred to in this
Agreement;
	 
	(b)	 	all terms and conditions which are implied under the Sale of Goods Act in a contract of sale
of goods to which that Act applies are expressly excluded from the sale and purchase under
this Agreement, save that this clause shall not exclude any liability under section 12 of the
Sale of Goods Act;
	 
	(c)	 	a party may claim in contract for breach of warranty under this Agreement but shall have no
claim or remedy under this Agreement in respect of misrepresentation (whether negligent or
otherwise, and whether made prior to, and/or in, this Agreement) or untrue statement made by
another party;





this clause shall not exclude any liability for, or remedy in respect of, fraudulent
misrepresentation.



24. Waivers, Rights and Remedies




Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no failure or delay by any party in exercising any

Page 14









 





right or remedy shall preclude any further exercise of it or the exercise of any other remedy.



25. Counterparts




This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties to it on separate
counterparts, each of which is an original but all of which together constitute one and the same
instrument.

expression variation shall include any variation, amendment, supplement, deletion or replacement
however effected.

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, then such provision
shall (so far as it is invalid or unenforceable) be given no effect and shall be deemed not to be
included in this Agreement but without invalidating any of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement. The parties shall then use all reasonable endeavours to replace the invalid or
unenforceable provision by a valid and enforceable substitute provision the effect of which is as
close as possible to the intended effect of the invalid or unenforceable provision.

A person who is not a party to this Agreement shall have no right under the Contracts (Rights of

SCHEDULE 2




PURCHASE PRICE




Part A

Post Closing Adjustment



1. The Purchase Price shall be adjusted depending upon the Purchaser’s (and its Affiliates’) sales
of male external catheters in the UK (excluding the Purchaser’s or its Affiliates’ private label
sales) post Closing (the Post Closing Adjustment). Any Post Closing Adjustment shall be calculated
following the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date (the Adjustment Date).



2. Any payment required to be made pursuant to this Part A shall be paid by Coloplast or the
Purchaser (as the case may be) within 30 Business Days of the Adjustment Date. Any such payment
shall be made in accordance with the provisions of clause 16.1 or 16.2 of this Agreement, as the
case may be.



3. The Post Closing Adjustment shall be calculated on the following basis:



Base Volume is a total volume of 17,550,000 units;



Coloplast Adjustment Amount means: (Base Volume — Total Sales) x $0.67 per unit;

Total Sales is the total volume of male external catheters sold by the Purchaser and the
Purchaser’s Affiliates within the UK for the period from Closing until the fifth (5th)
anniversary of the Closing Date;





	(a)	 	If Total Sales > Base Volume then the Purchaser shall pay a Post Closing Adjustment equal
to the Purchaser Adjustment Amount to Coloplast.
	 
	(b)	 	If Total Sales < Base Volume then Coloplast shall pay a Post Closing Adjustment equal to
the Coloplast Adjustment Amount to the Purchaser.





4. The Purchaser shall provide Coloplast with total annual sales figures for male external

amount, nature and




Page 25









 






	 	 	basis of such dispute within 10 Business Days of delivery of the certificate to Coloplast.






	(b)	 	If Coloplast provides written notice of a dispute in accordance with paragraph 5(a) above,
the Purchaser and Coloplast agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. If they

Coloplast, the dispute shall immediately be submitted by either the Purchaser or Coloplast to
an independent UK accounting firm (the Expert) who shall either be agreed upon by the
Purchaser and Coloplast or, if they cannot agree within 5 days of the end of the 21 day
period, on the request of either the Purchaser or Coloplast, such Expert shall be appointed by
the President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. The Expert
shall determine and deliver written notice of the determination of the amount of the Total
Sales to Coloplast and Purchaser within 30 days from the date of his appointment and, in doing
so, shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator.

records of the Purchaser as the Expert shall deem reasonably necessary for each to be able to
review in detail the calculation of the Total Sales (together with all supporting information
relied on in making the calculation).
	 
	(d)	 	The determination of the Total Sales by the Expert shall (except in the case of manifest
error) be final and binding on the parties. All determinations by the Expert shall be in
writing, and shall be delivered to Coloplast and the Purchaser. The fees and expenses of the
Expert shall be borne as the Expert shall determine.

	 	(i)	 	if the Purchaser agrees the calculation with Coloplast, on the
day that they confirm such agreement in writing;

resolve in writing their difference or dispute prior to (or at any time during)
the period of the appointment of the Expert, on the day that they so agree in
writing; or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	on the date that the Expert notifies Coloplast and Purchaser of
his determination.






	(f)	 	The parties agree that the Expert shall be entitled to determine, based upon the
circumstances of any dispute, that interest shall not be payable.

Final Stock Instalment).





2. Within 30 days of Closing, the Purchaser will perform a stock audit, and notify Coloplast of the

Estimated Stock Volume then the Final Stock Instalment will be reduced by the price for each unit
of Stock set out in Part C of this Schedule per unit of Stock under the Estimated Stock Volume,
provided that in each case the amount of the Stock Volume is not disputed in accordance with
paragraph 4 below.



4. The Stock Volume shall be calculated by the Purchaser in accordance with this paragraph.




	(a)	 	A written statement of Stock Volume, together with details of its calculation, shall be
delivered to Coloplast upon completion of the audit pursuant to paragraph 2 above, in the form
of a certificate prepared by the Purchaser. If Coloplast accepts the amount of the Stock
Volume, it shall notify the Purchaser in writing of such acceptance. If Coloplast disputes
the certified Stock Volume, it shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the amount, nature and
basis of such dispute within 30 days after delivery of the certificate to Coloplast.
	 
	(b)	 	If Coloplast provides written notice of a dispute in accordance with paragraph 4(a) above,

period, on the request of either the Purchaser or Coloplast, such Expert shall be appointed by
the President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. The Expert
shall determine and deliver written notice of the determination of the amount of the Stock
Volume to Coloplast and Purchaser within 30 days from the date of his appointment and, in

(2) ROCHESTER MEDICAL CORPORATION whose principal place of business is at One Rochester Medical
Drive, Stewartville, MN 55976 USA (Licensee)



Whereas 



(A) The Licensor is the owner of the Trade Mark (as defined below).



(B) Pursuant to the Asset Sale Agreement (as defined below), the Licensor has agreed to grant the
Licensee a licence to use the Trade Mark, on the terms and conditions set out in this agreement.



It is agreed as follows:



1. Interpretation



1.1 In this agreement the following expressions shall have the following meanings:



Asset Sale Agreement means the agreement dated [· ] between, inter alia, the Licensor and
Licensee for the sale and purchase of certain assets;



Business Day means a day other than a Saturday or Sunday or public holiday in England and
Wales on which banks are open in London for general commercial business;

including the Licensor;



Licensed Products means male urinary sheaths and parts and fittings for such sheaths;



Territory means the United Kingdom;



Trade Marks mean the mark FREEDOM details of which are set out at Appendix 1;



1.2 Schedule 1, paragraph 2 of the Asset Sale Agreement shall apply, mutatis mutandis to this
agreement.




Page 1









 







1.3 Appendix 1 comprises an appendix to this agreement and forms part of this agreement.



2. Grant of Licence



2.1 In consideration of and on the terms of this agreement, the Licensor hereby grants Licensee an
exclusive, royalty-free licence within the Territory to use the Trade Mark on or in relation to the
Licensed Products (including, without limitation, in relation to manufacture, promotion,
distribution and sale).



2.2 The Licensee shall (at its discretion) take reasonable steps, at its own cost, to record the
licence granted to it under clause 2.1 in any relevant registries.



2.3 Any recordal made under clause 2.2 shall be cancelled by the Licensor, at its own cost, on the
termination of this agreement. The Licensee shall assist the Licensor at the Licensor’s cost and
expense, as may reasonably be required by Licensor, to achieve such cancellation.



3. Maintenance of the Trade Mark



3.1 The Licensor shall take all reasonable steps to maintain and protect the registration
(including, without limitation, promptly paying any renewals or other fees as they become due) for
the Trade Mark, provided that the Licensee promptly provides all assistance as may reasonably be
required by the Licensor in connection with doing so.



3.2 If at any time the Licensor wishes to cease maintaining or protecting the Trade Mark, then it
shall follow the procedure set out in this clause, failing which it shall continue to be obliged to
maintain or protect the same. The Licensor may offer to assign the Trade Mark for a nominal
consideration, in exchange for the grant by the Licensee to the Licensor of a non-exclusive licence
to use the Trade Mark outside of the Territory. If, within 90 days of receipt of such notice, the
Licensee either notifies the Licensor that it does not wish to accept that offer, or fails to
respond at all, the Licensor may thereafter cease to maintain or protect the Trade Mark.



4. Licensee Duties



4.1 The Licensee shall:





	(a)	 	ensure that the Licensed Products comply with any quality standards which the Licensor may
from time to time reasonably require;
	 
	(b)	 	use the Trade Mark only in a manner which conforms to the reasonable directions and standards
notified to it by the Licensor from time to time;
	 
	(c)	 	not use, register or attempt to register any trade marks, company, business or trading names
or domain names which are identical or confusingly similar to (or which incorporate) the Trade
Mark, without the Licensor’s prior written consent;




Page 2









 






	(d)	 	not do anything which could, in the Licensor’s reasonable opinion, bring the Trade Mark or
the Licensor into disrepute or which could otherwise damage the goodwill attaching to the
Trade Mark;
	 
	(e)	 	not use the Trade Mark in a manner which could, in the Licensor’s reasonable opinion, result
in any of them becoming generic or in the Licensor’s rights in them becoming diluted, or which
could otherwise knowingly prejudice or invalidate a registration of the Trade Mark; and
	 
	(f)	 	ensure that its use of the Trade Mark comply with all applicable laws, regulations and
industry requirements and standards in force within the Territory.




4.2 The Licensee acknowledges and agrees that:





	(a)	 	the Trade Mark is and shall remain the exclusive property of the Licensor;
	 
	(b)	 	it shall not acquire, nor claim, any right, title or interest in or to the Trade Mark or the
goodwill attaching to it by virtue of this agreement or its use of the Trade Mark, other than
the rights specifically granted to it under clause 2.1;
	 
	(c)	 	all goodwill arising from use of the Trade Mark by the Licensee during the term of this
agreement shall accrue and belong to the Licensor, and the Licensee shall, at the Licensor’s
request and cost, promptly execute all documents reasonably required by the Licensor to
confirm this; and
	 
	(d)	 	all use of the Trade Mark by the Licensee shall be deemed to be use by the Licensor.




5. Infringement



5.1 Each party shall immediately notify the other in writing of any of the following matters which
comes to its attention (giving full particulars):





	(a)	 	any actual, suspected or threatened infringement of the Trade Mark;
	 
	(b)	 	any allegation or complaint made by any third party that the Trade Mark is invalid, that use
of the Trade Mark infringes any third party rights, or that use of the Trade Mark may cause
deception or confusion to the public;
	 
	(c)	 	any other form of attack or claim to which the Trade Mark may be subject.




5.2 The Licensee shall not make any admissions in respect of these matters other than to the
Licensor and shall, in each case, provide the Licensor with all relevant information in its
possession.



5.3 The Licensor shall decide, following consultation in good faith with the Licensee, in its
absolute discretion, whether or not to take action, and what action to take, in respect of any of
the matters in clause 6.1 and shall have exclusive control


Page 3









 






over any resulting claims, actions and proceedings. The provisions of section 30 of the Trade
Marks Act 1994 are expressly excluded.



5.4 The Licensee shall, at the Licensor’s cost, provide any assistance which the Licensor
reasonably requires (including bringing proceedings or lending its name to any proceedings brought
by the Licensor) in connection with any of the matters in clause 5.1. Any award of costs or
damages or other compensation payment recovered in connection with any of those matters shall be
for the account of the Licensor.



6. Indemnity



The Licensor shall indemnify and hold the Licensee harmless against all claims, liabilities, costs
(including legal costs) and expenses arising out of any claim that the Licensee’s use of the Trade
Mark in accordance with this agreement infringes the rights of any third party.



The Licensee shall not make any comment or admission to any third party in respect of this matter
and shall procure that its agents, sub-contractors and employees do not do so. The Licensor shall
have sole conduct of the matter giving rise to the obligation to indemnify. The Licensee shall
make no admission as to liability and shall not agree to any settlement or compromise of any action
to which this clause relates, in each case without the Licensor’s prior written consent.

appointed with respect to the other party ; or

in breach can comply with the provision in question in all respects other than as to time of
performance.

immediately cease and the Licensee shall immediately cease all use of the Trade Mark in or in

incorporating the Trade Mark or any aspect of any of them.

(including, for the avoidance of doubt, packaging of and literature relating to the Licensed

SCHEDULE 8




TRANSFERRED EMPLOYEES



1. Relevant transfer



The parties acknowledge and agree that the sale of the Assets from the Selling Parties to the
Purchaser is a “relevant transfer” within the meaning of the Transfer Regulations.



If for any reason the contracts of employment of any of the Transferred Employees are not
automatically transferred to the Purchaser pursuant to the Transfer Regulations, the Purchaser
shall immediately offer to employ such persons on terms and conditions no less favourable to the
Transferred Employees than the terms on which they were employed immediately prior to Closing.



2. Selling Parties Obligations



The Selling Parties shall indemnify the Purchaser against any Employee Liabilities which are
attributable to any breach or default by the Selling Parties (or their predecessors as employer)
prior to the close of business on Closing in respect of any of their obligations or duties as
employer (in either case, whether arising under contract, common law, statute, or otherwise) to or
in relation to any of the Transferred Employees and which the Purchaser may incur or suffer as a
result of succeeding to the Selling Parties pursuant to the Transfer Regulations in relation to the
contracts of employment of the Transferred Employees. This shall include, but shall not be limited
to any failure by the Selling Parties to comply with their obligations under regulation 13(2) of
the Transfer Regulations, save to the extent that the Purchaser fails to comply with its
obligations under regulation 13(4) of the Transfer Regulations.



The Selling Parties shall indemnify the Purchaser against any Employee Liabilities incurred by the
Purchaser which are attributable to the termination or dismissal (or alleged termination or
dismissal) by any of the Selling Parties prior to the close of business on the Closing Date of the
employment of any person who is not a Transferred Employee.



3. Purchaser Obligations



The Purchaser shall indemnify the Selling Parties against any Employee Liabilities which arise from
the employment by the Purchaser (or any subsequent employer) of the Transferred Employees or
Additional Employees on or after Closing or are attributable to any act or omission (or alleged act
or omission) by the Purchaser in relation to any of the Transferred Employees or Additional
Employees. This shall include, but shall not be limited to, any Employee Liability arising out of
the termination of employment or dismissal of any Transferred Employee or Additional Employee after
the Closing, any failure by the Purchaser to offer terms and conditions of employment and working
conditions which are no less favourable than those which apply to the Transferred Employees or
Additional Employees up to Closing, and any


Page 10









 






failure by the Purchaser to comply with its obligations under regulation 13(4) of the Transfer
Regulations.



4. Apportionment



All amounts payable to or in relation to the Transferred Employees or Additional Employees by the
Selling Parties in respect of the period prior to the close of business on the Closing Date shall
be discharged by the Selling Parties and the Selling Parties shall indemnify the Purchaser against
any Employee Liabilities arising out of or in connection with such amounts. All necessary
apportionments shall be made to give effect to this paragraph.



5. Other employees



If any contract of employment of a person who is not a Transferred Employee has effect as if
originally made between the Purchaser and such person, then:





	(a)	 	the Purchaser may, within 1 month of becoming aware  of such contract having
effect as if originally made by the Purchaser, terminate such contract; and
	 
	(b)	 	the Selling Parties shall indemnify the Purchaser against any sums payable to or in relation
to such person under or in connection with his contract of employment (whether before or after
Closing) and against any Employee Liabilities arising out of or in connection with the
termination of the contract of employment of such person, provided always that the Purchaser
has used commercially reasonable efforts to minimise the amount of any such sums and/or
Employee Liabilities; and
	 
	(c)	 	if the Purchaser does not terminate the contract of employment of such a person in accordance
with this paragraph, he shall be treated as a Transferred Employee for the purposes of this
Schedule 10.




6. Additional Employees



1. The Purchaser may offer employment to such additional employees of the Selling Parties (the
Additional Employees) as may be agreed between the Selling Parties and the Purchaser between
signing of this Agreement and Closing and on terms and conditions no less favourable to the
Additional Employees than the terms on which they were employed immediately prior to Closing. Any
Employee Liabilities arising in connection therewith, including redundancy payments payable to such
employees, if any, shall be apportioned in accordance with paragraph 4 above.



7. Non-Solicitation



The Purchaser covenants with the Selling Parties that it shall not, whether directly or indirectly,
on its own behalf or on behalf of or in conjunction with any Affiliate for the period of 1 year
following the Closing Date, solicit or entice away or endeavour to solicit or entice away any
individual other than a Transferred Employee or an

Connected Person and the Purchaser and any third party, the Purchaser shall not be liable or
responsible for any obligations or liabilities:-

breach or performance or non-performance of the Contracts on the part of the relevant Selling Party
or any Connected Person, or their employees, agents or sub-contractors prior to Closing;

from, an Excluded Asset);



(c) the Purchaser shall (if sub-contracting is permissible and lawful under the Contract) perform
as the relevant Selling Party’s sub-contractor or, if sub-contracting is not permissible or lawful,
