STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

THIS STOCK
PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of May 28, 2004, by and
among WATERFORD WEDGWOOD PLC, a company organized under the laws of the
Republic of Ireland (“Waterford”) and BALLYGUNNER HOLDINGS, a company organized
under the laws of the Republic of Ireland (“Ballygunner” and together with
Waterford, the “Sellers” and each a “Seller”) and SEB SA, a
company organized under the laws of France (“Buyer”).

 

WITNESSETH:

 

WHEREAS, Waterford
owns beneficially and of record all of the issued and outstanding shares of
capital stock of Ballygunner; and

 

WHEREAS, Ballygunner
owns beneficially and of record all of the issued and outstanding shares of
capital stock of All-Clad USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”);
and

 

WHEREAS, Holdings
owns, directly or indirectly, all of the equity interests of those entities set
forth on Schedule A attached hereto (each such entity, including
Holdings, are sometimes referred to herein singly as a “Company” and
collectively as “All-Clad”); and

 

WHEREAS, All-Clad
is a premium quality manufacturer and distributor of branded professional
cookware, kitchen tools, kitchen electrics and other cooking products (the “Business”);
and

 

WHEREAS, Buyer
desires to purchase from Seller, and Seller desires to sell to Buyer, all of
the issued and outstanding common stock of Holdings (the “Shares”); and

 

 

WHEREAS, Waterford
is acting in the best interests of its shareholders in entering into this
Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants and agreements
contained in this Agreement, the receipt, adequacy and legal sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally
bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

1.             PURCHASE
AND SALE OF THE SHARES

 

1.1           Sale of the Shares.

 

(a)           Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing (as
defined in Section 2.1 hereof), Ballygunner shall sell, assign, transfer
and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase and accept from Ballygunner, the
Shares, at the time, in the manner and for the consideration hereinafter set
forth.

 

(b)           At
the Closing, Ballygunner shall deliver to Buyer a stock certificate
representing all of the Shares, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by stock
powers executed in blank, in proper form for transfer, free and clear of any
claim, suit, proceeding, call, commitment, voting trust, proxy, restriction,
limitation, security interest, pledge or lien, except for any of the foregoing
imposed by Buyer (collectively “Liens”). 
Buyer acknowledges that, as of the date of this Agreement, all of the assets
of All-Clad and all of the shares of capital stock issued by All-Clad are
subject to a security interest pursuant to those agreements set forth on Schedule
1.1(b) (the “All-Clad Liens”).  The
All-Clad Liens shall be terminated immediately prior to Closing.  Buyer agrees that the existence of the
All-Clad Liens at any and all times prior to Closing shall not be a breach of
any representation, warranty or covenant of this Agreement, notwithstanding any
other term of this Agreement.

 

2

 

1.2           Purchase Price; Method of Payment.

 

As total consideration for the purchase of the Shares,
Buyer shall pay, in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.2, the sum
of US$250 million minus the amount loaned by Buyer to All-Clad, for the
purpose of satisfying the WWL S.a.r.l Loan, pursuant to Section 5.6(c) (the “Purchase
Price”).  The Purchase Price shall
be paid by Buyer to Sellers at Closing by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Sellers to
Buyer.

 

1.3           Purchase Price Adjustment.

 

(a)           On
the Closing Date, the Sellers shall deliver to the Buyers a consolidated
estimated balance sheet of All-Clad as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated
Closing Balance Sheet”) and an estimated statement of net assets as of the
Closing Date derived from the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet (the “Estimated
Statement of Net Assets”).  The
Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the Estimated Statement of Net Assets shall
be prepared in accordance with United States generally acceptable accounting
principles (“GAAP”) and using the accounting principles, policies and practices
used by All-Clad in the preparation of its financial statements for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2004 (the “Historical Financials”) so long as such
Historical Financials are not inconsistent with GAAP.  The Estimated Statement of Net Assets and Estimated Closing
Balance Sheet shall be prepared by the Sellers verifying that the Net Book
Value (as defined below) of All-Clad on a consolidated basis equals at least
Thirty Four Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($35,300,000) (the “Target
Asset Level”).  “Net Book Value” shall
mean, the total value of All-Clad’s assets, on a consolidated basis, minus the
total liabilities (including, but not limited to accounts payable, liabilities
for payroll and incentives and any other liability of All-Clad) reflected on
the Closing Balance Sheet.  By way of

 

3

 

illustration, Schedule 1.3(a), sets forth the
pro forma “statement of net assets” as of June 30, 2004.  The amount by which the Net Book Value of
All-Clad as shown on the Estimated Statement of Net Assets (the “Estimated Net
Book Value”) differs from the Target Asset Level shall be the “Initial Purchase
Price Adjustment Amount.”

 

(b)           The
Initial Purchase Price Adjustment Amount shall be applied on the Closing
Date.  If the Initial Purchase Price
Adjustment Amount is negative (i.e., the Net Book Value of All-Clad, as shown
on the Estimated Statement of Net Assets is less than the Target Asset Level),
the consideration paid to the Sellers pursuant to Section 1.2 shall be reduced
by an amount equal to the Initial Purchase Price Adjustment Amount.  If the Initial Purchase Price Adjustment
Amount is positive, the consideration paid to the Sellers pursuant to Section
1.2 shall be increased by an amount equal to the Initial Purchase Price
Adjustment Amount.

 

(c)           As
promptly as practical, and in any event not more than sixty (60) calendar days
after the Closing Date, the Sellers shall deliver to the Buyer a consolidated
balance sheet of All-Clad as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”)
and a statement of net assets as of the Closing Date derived from the Closing
Balance Sheet (the “Statement of Net Assets”) showing the actual Net Book Value
of All-Clad as of the Closing Date (the “Actual Net Book Value”).  The Closing Balance Sheet and the Statement
of Net Assets shall be prepared in accordance with generally acceptable
accounting principles of the applicable jurisdictions and using the accounting
principles, policies and practices used by All-Clad in the preparation of their
Historical Financials so long as such practices are not inconsistent with GAAP.  The Actual Net Book Value shall then be
compared to the Estimated Net Book Value. 
The amount by which the Actual Net Book Value (as determined by
subsections (d) and (e) below) differs from the Estimated Net Book Value shall
be the “Final Purchase Price Adjustment Amount.”

 

4

 

(d)           The
Buyer shall have a period of sixty (60) calendar days after their receipt of
the Statement of Net Assets (the “Review Period”) to raise any objection to
Sellers’ determination of the Actual Net Book Value.  Any such objection shall be made in writing (the “Notice of
Disagreement”) to Sellers prior to the end of the Review Period.  Any Notice of Disagreement shall specify in
reasonable detail the nature and amount of such disagreement so asserted.  Any Notice of Disagreement which does not
make a good faith claim for an aggregate adjustment of more than $25,000.00
shall not be valid and will be of no force and effect.  In the event that the Buyer objects, within
the Review Period, to Sellers’ determination of the Actual Net Book Value, the
Sellers and the Buyer shall negotiate among themselves for the fifteen (15) day
calendar period following receipt by Sellers of the Notice of
Disagreement.  If no resolution is reached
within the 15 calendar day period, Buyer and the Sellers shall submit the
dispute to a mutually acceptable national independent accounting firm in the
United States (the “Independent Accountants”), and the decision of the
Independent Accountants shall be conclusive and binding on the parties (the
“Final Determination”).  The Independent
Accountants making the Final Determination shall act as an arbitrator and will
review any and all matters which remain in dispute and were properly included
in the Notice of Disagreement.  Such
accounting firm shall deliver the Final Determination to the parties as soon as
practicable following the selection of the accounting firm.  In the event the Parties submit any
unresolved objections to the Independent Accountants for Final Determination,
the Buyer and the Sellers will share responsibility for the fees and expenses
of the Independent Accountants as follows: 
(i) if the Independent Accountants resolve all of the remaining
objections in favor of the Buyer (the Net Book Value so determined is referred
to herein as the “Low Value”), the Sellers will be responsible for all of the
fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants; (ii) if the Independent
Accountants resolve all of the

 

5

 

remaining objections in favor of the Sellers (the Net
Book Value so determined is referred to herein as the “High Value”), the Buyer
will be responsible for all of the fees and expenses of the Independent
Accountants; and (iii) if the Independent Accountants resolve some of the remaining
objections in favor of the Buyer and the rest of the remaining objections in
favor of the Sellers (the Net Book Value so determined is referred to herein as
the “Actual Value”), the Sellers will be responsible for that fraction of the
fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants equal to (x) the difference
between the High Value and the Actual Value over (y) the difference between the
High Value and the Low Value, and the Buyer will be responsible for the
remainder of the fees and expenses. 
Except for the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants, each of
the Buyer and Sellers shall be responsible for their own expenses incurred in
connection with this Section 1.3.

 

(e)           The
Final Purchase Price Adjustment Amount shall be made or delivered to the
appropriate Party within five (5) business days of the earlier to occur of (i)
the Final Determination of the Actual Net Book Value in accordance with
Sections 1.3(c) and (d), (ii) the agreement of Buyer and the Sellers as to the
final calculation of the Actual Net Book Value and (iii) the Buyer’s acceptance
of Sellers’ calculation of the Actual Net Book Value.  If the Final Purchase Price Adjustment Amount is negative (i.e.,
the Actual Net Book Value of Holdings as determined in accordance with Section
1.3(c) and (d) above is less than the Estimated Net Book Value), the Sellers
shall deliver to Buyer the Final Purchase Price Adjustment Amount in
immediately available funds within five (5) business days of the determination
made in the first sentence of this Section 1.3(e).  If the Final Purchase Price Adjustment Amount is positive, the
Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers the Final Purchase Price

 

6

 

Adjustment Amount in immediately available funds
within five (5) business days of the determination made in the first sentence
of this section 1.3(e).

 

(f)            Notwithstanding
the above, no purchase price adjustment shall be made unless the Net Book Value
of All-Clad differs from the Target Asset Level by more than $1,000,000 and
then only to extent of any amount in excess of such $1,000,000 difference.

 

1.4           Allocation of Purchase Price.

 

The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to agree upon an allocation of the Purchase Price prior to the Closing.  The parties agree that none of them will
take a position on any income tax return, before any governmental agency
charged with the collection of any income tax or in any way inconsistent with
such allocation.  The agreement on the
allocation of the Purchase Price shall not be a condition to the Closing.

 

2.             CLOSING

 

2.1           The Closing.

 

(a)           Unless
this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Sections 9.8, 9.9 or
9.10  and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set
forth in Articles 6 and 7, the closing (“Closing”) of the sale and
purchase of the Shares contemplated hereby shall take place at a mutually
agreed upon place on the date that is 60 days following the date of this
Agreement (provided, that if the required Waterford shareholder approval is not
obtained by the end of such 60-day period, Sellers shall have one right to
extend such 60-day period an additional 60 days) or, if earlier, the later of
the (i) date that is five business days after the date of expiration or early
termination of the applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino

(i)            directly
or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control, finance or participate in
the ownership, management, operation, control or financing of, or be connected
as a principal, agent, representative, consultant, investor, owner, partner,
manager, joint venturer or otherwise with, any business or enterprise engaged
anywhere in the Territory in the Business;

 

31

 

(ii)           solicit
the employment of or hire any person who at the time of such solicitation, is a
full or part-time employee of, sales representative for or consultant to any
Company except for the individuals set forth on Section 2.1(b).

 

(c)           Notwithstanding
the above, the foregoing covenant shall not be deemed to prohibit (i) Spring
USA, Inc. from engaging in its business as currently conducted provided that
its retail sales in the Territory do not exceed $2,000,000 per year; (ii)
Sellers (or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates) from conducting their
business as is currently conducted; (iii) Sellers (or any of their subsidiaries
or affiliates) from making any acquisition or acquiring any equity interest in
any company; provided that Sellers shall not be permitted to acquire Meyer
Corporation U.S., the Calphalon business of Newell Rubbermaid, Inc. or

Furthermore, each Seller acknowledges that by reason of its involvement
with each Company, such Seller (and its directors, officers, employees,
representatives, consultants and advisors) has had access to confidential
information relating to each Company. 
Each Seller acknowledges that such confidential information is a
valuable and unique asset and covenants that such Seller will not allow the
disclosure of any such confidential information to any person for any reason
whatsoever, unless such information is in the public domain through no wrongful
act of such Seller or such disclosure is required by applicable law, rule or
regulation.

 

(d)           Remedies.  Each of the Sellers and Spring USA, Inc.
acknowledge that (i) the provisions of this Section 5.13 are reasonable and
necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer and its affiliates
(including after the Closing, All-Clad), (ii) any violation of this Section
5.13 will result in irreparable injury to Buyer and its affiliates (including
after the Closing, All-Clad) and that damages at law would not be reasonable or
adequate compensation to Buyer and its affiliates (including after the Closing,
All-Clad) for a violation of this Section 5.13

 

32

 

and (iii) Buyer and its affiliates (including after
the Closing, All-Clad) shall be entitled to have the provisions of this Section
5.13 specifically enforced by preliminary and permanent injunctive relief
without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting bond or
other security as well as to an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits
and other benefits arising out of any violation of this Section 5.13, including
without limitation estimated future earnings. 
In the event that the provisions of this Section 5.13 should ever be
deemed to exceed the time, geographic, product or any other limitations
permitted by applicable law, then such provisions shall be deemed reformed to
the maximum permitted by applicable law.

 

(e)           Jurisdiction.
Buyer, each Seller and Spring USA, Inc. intend to and do hereby confer jurisdiction
to enforce the covenants set forth in this Section 5.13 upon the courts of any
jurisdiction within the geographical scope of such covenants.  In addition to Section 9.16 and not in
limitation thereof, if the courts of any one or more of such jurisdictions hold
such covenants unenforceable in whole or in part, it is the intention of Buyer
and each Seller (and Spring USA, Inc.) that such determination not bar or in
any way adversely affect the right of Buyer and its affiliates (including after

any other jurisdiction as to breaches or violations of this Section 5.13, such
covenants being, for this purpose, severable into diverse and independent

Authorities” shall mean any federal, state, local, municipal, foreign or
other government.

 

8.4           Matters
Involving Third Parties.

 

(a)           If
any third party (including any governmental agency or authority) shall notify
Buyer or Sellers, as the case may be (the “Indemnified Party”) with
respect to any matter (a “Third Party Claim”) which may give rise to a
claim for indemnification against either Buyer or Seller, as the case may be
(the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Article 8, then the Indemnified
Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing.

 

(b)           The
Indemnifying Party shall, within 30 days after receipt of the notice described
in Section 8.4(a) above, assume and thereafter conduct the defense of the Third
Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party at the sole expense of the Indemnifying Party; provided,
however, that the Indemnified Party may participate in such settlement or
defense through counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party, provided that the
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such Indemnified Party;

 

40

 

and provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party
will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with
respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party (not to be withheld unreasonably) unless the judgment or
proposed settlement involves only the payment of money damages by the
Indemnifying Party and does not impose an injunction or any other equitable
relief upon the Indemnified Party.

 

(c)           Unless
and until the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim
as provided in Section 8.4(b) above, however, the Indemnified Party may defend
against the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate,
but shall not thereby waive any right to indemnify therefor pursuant to this
Agreement; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party will not consent to
the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the
Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party
(not to be withheld unreasonably).

 

8.5           Indemnification
Payment.

 

With respect to any indemnity payment under this
Article 8, the parties agree to treat, to the extent permitted by law, all
such payments as an adjustment to the consideration paid for the sale and

9.6           Successors
and Assigns.

 

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns.  This Agreement or any part thereof, may not
be assigned without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent
may be withheld in the sole discretion of the other party.  Buyer shall have the right, without the
consent of Seller, to assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations
under this Agreement to a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer,
so long as Buyer agrees to remain primarily liable for the obligations of Buyer
under this Agreement.

 

9.7           Entire
Agreement and Modification.

 

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings between the parties or any of their respective affiliates
(written or oral) relating to the subject matter (except for the
Confidentiality Agreement), and is intended to be the entire and complete
statement of the terms of the agreement between the parties, and may be amended
or modified only by a written instrument executed by the parties.  The waiver by one party of any breach of
this Agreement by the other party shall not be considered to be a waiver of any
succeeding breach (whether of a

 

44

 

similar or a dissimilar
nature) of any such provision or other provision or a waiver of any such
provision itself.  No representation,
inducement, promise, understanding, condition or warranty not set forth herein
has been made or relied upon by either party hereto.

 

9.8           Termination
of Buyer’s Rights.

 

If Sellers fail to satisfy in all material respects
any of the conditions to Closing specified in Article 7 hereof at or prior
to Closing, and if any such failure either is not waived in writing by Buyer or
cured by Sellers within thirty days after written notice thereof by Buyer, then
Buyer may, without liability, terminate this Agreement by written notice to
Sellers, which such termination by Buyer shall in no way relieve Sellers of any
liability hereunder or under any other agreement between the parties.  If this Agreement is terminated (either by
Sellers or Buyer) after the 60-day period referred to in Section 2.1 has
expired (or if extended for 60 days by Sellers, after the period as so
extended), and solely because the shareholders of Waterford have not approved
this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,
Sellers shall immediately pay to Buyer a termination fee of $5,000,000 by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to such account as Buyer directs.

 

9.9           Termination
of Sellers’ Rights.

 

If Buyer fails to satisfy in all material respects any
of the conditions to Closing specified in Article 6 hereof at or prior to
Closing, and such failure either is not waived in writing by Sellers or cured
by Buyer within thirty days after written notice thereof by Sellers, then
Sellers may, without liability, terminate this Agreement by written notice to
Buyer, which such termination by Sellers shall in no way relieve Buyer of any
liability hereunder or under any other agreement between the parties.

 

45

 

9.10         Other
Termination.

 

If no Closing occurs within 60 days of the date of
this Agreement, and the failure to close is not the result of Sellers’ or
Buyer’s failure to satisfy in all material respects any of the conditions to
Closing specified in Articles 6 and 7 hereof at or prior to Closing, this
Agreement shall terminate without liability or further obligation to either of
the parties.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, such termination shall in no way relieve either party hereto of any
liability to the other under any other agreement between the parties.

 

9.11         Survival
of Representations, Covenants and Warranties.

 

The representations and warranties made by Sellers and
Buyer herein shall survive the Closing for a period of two (2) years; provided
that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections
3.1 (organization and corporate power), 3.2 (authorization),
3.11 (capital stock), 3.12 (Options or Other Rights) and 3.13 (Title
to Shares) shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of
limitations; provided further that the representations and warranties set forth
in Section 3.3, 3.8 and 3.10 shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1)
year.  The covenants and agreements set
forth in Articles 5 and 8 hereof shall survive Closing, each in accordance
with its terms.

 

9.12         Section
and Other Headings.

 

The section and other headings contained in this
Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the
meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

 

9.13         Governing
Law.

 

This Agreement shall be interpreted and governed by
the laws of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

 

46

 

9.14         Counterparts.

 

This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and such
counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

 

9.15         Further
Assurances.

 

Each of the parties shall execute such documents and
other papers and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to
carry out the provisions hereof and the transactions contemplated hereby.  Each party shall use its reasonable efforts
to fulfill or obtain the fulfillment of the conditions to the Closing.

 

9.16         Severability.

 

Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition and
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

9.17         Confidentiality.

 

Sellers and Buyer agree to keep the terms of this
Agreement and any amendments to it or transactions arising from it confidential
except (i) as required to discharge the obligation of each of the parties to
file submissions and data with respect to the proposed transaction pursuant to
the HSR Act, (ii) as required to discharge Waterford’s obligations in relation
to calling a Shareholder meeting or (iii) as otherwise agreed by the
parties.  The parties hereto agree that
before issuing any press release or making any public statement with respect to
this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, the content of any such
disclosure shall be

 

47

 

communicated between the
parties and agreed to prior to the release thereof, except as required by
applicable law or government regulation.

 

9.18         No
Third Party Beneficiaries.

 

Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof is
intended to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto) any rights
or remedies hereunder.

 

9.19         Consent
to Jurisdiction.

 

Buyer hereby consents and voluntarily submits to
personal jurisdiction in Washington and Allegheny County Pennsylvania in and by
the federal courts of the Western District of Pennsylvania and the state and
local courts located in Washington and Allegheny County Pennsylvania, in any
action in which a claim is brought by Buyer with respect to this Agreement, and
agrees that it may be served with process in any such action by certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested, as provided in Section 9.5 hereof,
or to its registered agent for service of process in the state of its
incorporation.  Buyer irrevocably and
unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue
or the convenience of the forum of any action with respect to this Agreement.

 

9.20         Specific
Performance.

 

Buyer and Sellers acknowledge and agree that failure
by the other to perform its obligations under this Agreement would cause such
party or parties to be materially and irreparably injured and to suffer
material loss; and that such injury and loss cannot be fully or adequately
compensated by the payment of money or by an award of damages and each shall be
entitled to the specific performance of this Agreement, in addition to all
other remedies that each might have, and that each of them will not object to
and will not hinder or delay the entry of a

 

48

 

decree of specific
performance against it in any action or suit brought under or in respect of
this Agreement.

 

9.21         Construction.

 

The Parties have participated jointly in the
negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. 
In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation
arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties
and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any
Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.  Any reference to any federal, state, local,
or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise.  The word “including” shall mean including
without limitation.

 

9.22         Definition
of Knowledge.

 

The term “knowledge” of a particular entity means the
actual knowledge after reasonable investigation by a member of senior
management of such entity who would reasonably be expected to have knowledge of
the matter in question.
