2.4                               The Recipient acknowledges the intention of both parties to this Agreement is that, for those Transitional Services which do not have a Service Period, this Agreement is to be a temporary arrangement only and, accordingly, undertakes to use its reasonable endeavours to arrange provision either in-house or by a third party of equivalent or alternative services to the applicable Transitional Services as soon as reasonably possible and to serve notice on the Provider to terminate the relevant provisions of this Agreement in accordance with Clause 22.3 promptly following commencement of such replacement services.

 

2.5                               Subject to Clauses 3, 4, and 5, if there are any agreements or contractual arrangements with third parties which have been entered into by any Provider Group Member or by any Recipient Group Member in relation to matters which affect both the Provider’s Group and the Indivior Business or have been entered into by both a Provider Group Member and Recipient Group Member each in respect of its respective business (a “Group Contract”) then the Provider (on behalf of the Provider Group Members) and the Recipient (on behalf of the Recipient Group Members) shall co-operate fully to procure, so far as is practicable or desirable to both and PROVIDED THAT such agreement or contractual arrangement does not form the basis of a Transitional Service, that such Group Contracts are terminated as soon as possible and replaced by such separate agreements or contractual arrangements as may be considered necessary or appropriate between such third parties on the one hand and the relevant Provider Group Member and Recipient Group Member on the other hand.

5.1                               The Provider and Recipient agree that the Existing Supply Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until but excluding Plant Day, at which point (I) the Existing Supply Agreement shall terminate with immediate effect, (ii) the relevant Provider Group Member shall no longer be responsible for the production of the API at the FCP and (iii) the consequences of termination shall be governed in accordance with the terms and conditions set out therein.

7.1                               With effect from the Commencement Date, each Provider Group Member shall use all reasonable endeavours promptly to obtain and maintain (in each case, to the extent not already obtained) for the applicable Service Period such consents, licences, permits, approvals or any agreements of Third Party Providers as are required for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and for the Recipient Group Members to receive the full benefit of the Transitional Services (the “Third Party Consent”) and the Recipient Group Member will provide reasonable assistance in connection therewith.

 

7.2                               The Provider shall notify the Recipient in writing of each such Third Party Consent and the terms thereof within 5 Business Days of the later of the date of this Agreement or the receipt by the relevant Provider Group Member of such consent.

 

16

 

7.3                               The Costs of any Third Party Consents shall be borne by the Recipient. Each Provider Group Member shall use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the costs associated with the acquisition of any such Third Party Consent are minimised to the fullest extent reasonably practicable.

 

7.4                               Subject to Clause 7.5, no Provider Group Member shall be obliged to provide any Transitional Service in respect of which any Third Party Consent:

 

(A)                               has not been obtained or been refused or revoked (provided and to the extent that it has used all reasonable endeavours in accordance with Clause 7.1 (or clause 17 (Third Party Consents) of the Demerger Agreement as applicable) to obtain and maintain such Third Party Consent), but only to the extent that provision of such Transitional Service would cause the applicable Provider Group Member to be in breach of the Contract to which the Third Party Consent relates; or

 

(B)                               the terms of which have been breached (and not remedied within any applicable period for remedy) by the relevant Recipient Group Member (other than where such breach (i) arises in circumstances in which the Provider did not inform the Recipient of the Third Party Consent and the terms thereof or (ii) was caused by an act or omission of a Provider Group Member),

 

and, subject to Clause 22.6, this Agreement shall terminate forthwith without liability on the part of the Provider Group Member in respect of that Transitional Service, but only to the extent that provision of such Transitional Service would cause the applicable Provider Group Member to be in breach of the Contract to which the Third Party Consent relates.

 

7.5                               If, following negotiations between the Provider and a Third Party Provider, the Provider fails to obtain a Third Party Consent by the date which is one calendar month after the Commencement Date, the Provider shall notify the Recipient of this fact as soon as reasonably practicable. Upon such notification, the parties shall use all reasonable endeavours to agree and the Provider shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, put in place interim alternative arrangements such that the relevant Provider Group Member may provide the Transitional Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement from the Commencement Date, but the Provider shall continue negotiations with the Third Party Provider with a view to obtaining the applicable Third Party Consent as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. If the Provider tails to obtain the applicable Third Party Consent by the date which is three calendar months after the Commencement Date, the Provider shall notify the Recipient of this fact as soon as reasonably practicable.

7.6                               The Recipient (on behalf of the relevant Recipient Group Member) agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Provider Group Member against any expenses, losses, fees, costs and/or liabilities suffered or incurred by the Provider Group Member arising as a result of any Third Party Provider claim against the Provider

 

17

 

Group Member caused by failure by any Recipient Group Member to perform, or comply with, the terms of any Third Party Consent or with the terms of the agreement or agreements to which that Third Party Consent relates, subject to the Recipient having been notified of such terms, up to a maximum of £[***] in aggregate.

 

7.7                               The Provider (on behalf of the relevant Provider Group Member) agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Recipient Group Member against any expenses, losses, fees, costs and/or liabilities suffered or incurred by the Recipient Group Member arising as a result of any Third Party Provider claim against the Recipient Group Member caused by failure by any Provider Group Member to perform, or comply with, the terms of any Third Party Consent or with the terms of the agreement or agreements to which that Third Party Consent relates, up to a maximum of £[***] in aggregate.

 

7.8                               The provisions of Schedule 4 of the Demerger Agreement shall apply in relation to the making of any claim under the indemnities in Clauses 7.6 and 7.7.

 

8.                                      Change control

 

8.1                               Subject to Clause 8.5, nothing in this Agreement shall require any Provider Group Members (or any Provider Personnel) to provide any additional service or level of service (including, without limitation, capacity levels) to the Recipient Group Members which the Provider Group Members did not provide or procure the provision of to any or all of the Recipient Group Members during the 12 months immediately preceding the Commencement Date.

 

8.2                               Save for minor variations to the Agreement as may be agreed by the parties’ Representatives in accordance with Clause 16.2(B), if either party wishes to make any change, addition or deletion to any of the Transitional Services (a “Change”) the provisions of this Clause 8 shall apply.

 

8.3                               If the Recipient wishes to make any Change, the Recipient shall submit a Change request to the Provider’s Representative in respect of that proposed Change.

 

8.4                               Subject to Clause 8.5, upon receipt of a request for a Change by the Recipient under Clause 8.3, the Provider shall (acting reasonably) consider such Change request within 10 Business Days (or such shorter period as may reasonably be requested in the Change request (if any), having regard to the reason for and nature of the requested Change) and if the Provider agrees in principle to such Change, shall provide the Recipient within 20 Business Days after the expiry of the relevant period for consideration (or such shorter period as reasonably requested in the Change request (if any), having regard to the reason for and nature of the requested Change) with a report including (but not limited to) the timing and cost impact upon the provision of any Transitional Services hereunder and a description of any amendments required to the terms of this Agreement (including its Schedules) required to implement such Change (the “Change Impact Statement”). The Recipient shall, within 10 Business Days of receipt of such Change Impact Statement, accept or reject the Change Impact Statement and if no response is received by the Provider from the Recipient within such period, the Change Impact Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted.

 

18

 

8.5                               Subject to Clause 8.2, if the Recipient makes a Change request under Clause 8.3 within 6 months of Completion which is in respect of a service which was provided to the Recipient Group by the Provider Group at any time in the 12 months immediately preceding Completion but which is not detailed in Schedule 1 (an “Omitted Transitional Service”), the relevant Provider Group Member shall, unless not reasonably practicable to do so and subject to any necessary Third Party Consents having been obtained in accordance with Clause 7.1, provide such service to the relevant Recipient Group Members as soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of the Change request and such Omitted Transitional Service shall be deemed to form part of the Transitional Services. Contemporaneously with (and not as a precondition to) the provision of such service, the Provider shall provide a Change Impact Statement to the Recipient as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within 10 Business Days of receipt of such Change request and the parties agree to negotiate the service charge (to the extent that such charge was not taken into account when calculating the Service Charges for the Transitional Services excluding the Omitted Transitional Service) and service period of the service subject to the Change request in good faith and failing agreement within 10 Business Days of receipt of the Change Impact Statement, the outstanding issues shall be subject to the escalation procedures set out in Clause 16.5.

 

8.6                               If the Provider wishes to make any Change the Provider shall submit a Change request to the Recipient’s Representative in respect of that proposed Change and shall include with its Change request a Change Impact Statement. The Recipient shall, within 30 Business Days of receipt of such Change Impact Statement, accept or reject the Change Impact Statement and if no response is received by the Provider from the Recipient within such period, the Change Impact Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted.

 

8.7                               The Provider may make a Change in its reasonable discretion and without the consent of the Recipient at any time if such Change would not have an adverse effect on the scope of, or Service Levels for, the relevant Transitional Service (and the Provider shall notify the Recipient of such Change in writing at least 30 days prior to such Change but, for the avoidance of doubt, a Change Impact Statement shall not be required). This Clause 8.7 shall not affect the ability of any Recipient Group Member at its own cost to contract directly with the relevant Third Party Provider (if any) for continued receipt of the relevant Transitional Service(s) at the Service Level. The Recipient hereby agrees that the Provider shall be entitled to participate in such discussions with the Third Party Provider in respect of any such direct contract.

 

8.8                               If the parties accept (or are deemed to have accepted) the Change Impact Statement, both parties shall implement the Change. If during the implementation of such Change Impact Statement a technical hindrance occurs, then provided that such technical hindrance (a) was not taken into account in the Change request or the Change Impact Statement and (b) could not reasonably have been known at the time of the Change request or the Change Impact Statement was agreed, the Provider shall amend the Change Impact Statement to reflect any changes to it required to avoid or surmount the hindrance and the last sentence of Clause 8.4 shall apply to such amended Change Impact Statement.

 

8.9                               Unless otherwise agreed in any Change Impact Statement, the Costs of implementing any Change to this Agreement (other than costs of changes to be borne by the

 

19

 

Recipient where contracting directly with a Third Party Provider in accordance with the proviso in Clause 8.7) shall be borne by the requesting party.

 

9.                                      Service Levels

 

9.1                               Subject to the other provisions of this Clause 9 and Clause 8.7, the Provider Group Members shall:

 

(A)                               provide each of the Transitional Services to the Recipient Group Members with reasonable skill and care and in each case at least in a manner consistent with, and (without prejudice to the Provider’s rights under Clause 8.7) to a standard and scope which are in all material respects equivalent to those to which such Transitional Service was provided by the Provider Group Members to the Indivior Business during the 12 month period prior to the Commencement Date; and

 

(B)                               not allocate resources in a manner that favours or gives priority to a Provider Group Member’s use of resources (for themselves or other persons to whom they provide services) over uses of such resources to provide the Transitional Services or otherwise deprioritise the allocation of resources used to provide the Transitional Services to the Recipient Group Members.

 

9.2                               The Provider Group Members shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations in the provision of the Transitional Services.

 

9.3                               Notwithstanding Clause 9.1 and subject to Clause 8, the Service Levels applicable to the Transitional Services provided by the Provider Group Members under Contracts entered into prior to the Commencement Date shall be the service levels as set out in such Contract, if applicable, insofar as such service levels relate to the Transitional Services. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall operate to limit any Provider Group Members’ obligation to meet the Service Levels that relate to Transitional Services in respect of any Contract that is entered into after the Commencement Date.

 

9.4                               If any Transitional Service fails to comply with the Service Levels set out in this Clause 9 or Schedule 1, the Recipient, on behalf of the relevant Recipient Group Member, shall notify the Provider in writing of such non-compliance, specifying in reasonable detail the particular non-compliance. Without limiting its obligations under this Agreement, the relevant Provider Group Member shall promptly re-perform the applicable Transitional Service. If, after 10 Business Days of notice to the Provider, the applicable Transitional Service continues to fail to meet the applicable Service Levels, without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the Recipient, the Recipient may:

 

(A)                               formally notify the appropriate Provider Representative in writing of such non-compliance, specifying in reasonable detail the particular non-compliance. The respective Representatives shall then determine the course of action in accordance with the provisions set out in Clause 16; and/or

 

(B)                               obtain and/or require the Provider to, and procure that the Provider Group Members, cooperate promptly and in good faith in obtaining an alternative

 

20

 

means of providing such Transitional Service or affected component thereof; and/or

 

(C)                               suspend payment of the Service Charges for the period during which such Transitional Service fails to meet the applicable Service Levels.

 

If as a consequence of such failure the date of completion of migration of a Transitional Service is after the Expiry Date for such Transitional Service then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the Recipient, the parties shall, acting reasonably and in good faith, agree an extension to the Expiry Date for such Transitional Service.

 

9.5                               Any Costs incurred by the Provider and the Recipient under Clause 9.4 (subject to the limitations set out in Clause 23, where applicable) in:

 

(A)                               reperforming such Transitional Services;

 

(B)                               restoring such Transitional Services or such affected component thereof; or

 

(C)                               obtaining an alternative source of such Transitional Services or such affected component thereof,

(A)                               shall be paid by the Recipient on its own behalf to the extent that the sum relates to a Transitional Service which the Recipient receives, and on behalf of the relevant other Recipient Group Member to the extent that the sum relates to a Transitional Service received by another Recipient Group Member; and

In that event (and except to the extent that the sum payable constitutes interest), the Payor shall be obliged to pay to the Payee such sum as will, after the deduction or withholding has been made, leave the Payee with the same amount as it would have been entitled to receive in the absence of any such requirement to make a deduction or withholding.

 

10.13                 If the Payor makes an increased payment pursuant to Clause 10.12 and the Payee determines that:

(B)                               the Payee has obtained, utilised and retained that Tax credit, repayment or other Tax benefit,

 

the Payee shall pay an amount to the Payor which the Payee determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had no such deduction or withholding as is referred to in Clause 10.12 been required to be made by the Payor.

31

 

18.2                        Each Recipient Group Member hereby grants to each Provider Group Member involved in the provision of any Transitional Services a non-exclusive, terminable, worldwide, royalty-free and non-transferable, sub-licensable (to Provider Personnel) licence of the Intellectual Property, and any rights of data or information (in whatever form or medium), owned by, or licensed to (subject to obtaining any Third Party Consent which contemplates the sub-licence granted in this Clause 18.2), such Recipient Group Member in the data, information, documents and materials the subject of the Transitional Services, in each case solely to the extent necessary to provide Transitional Services to the Recipient Group Members in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement.

 

18.3                        Each Provider Group Member hereby grants to each Recipient Group Member involved in the receipt of any Transitional Services a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up and transferable licence (including the right to sub-license) of the Intellectual Property (excluding registered trade marks and rights in or in relation to unregistered trade marks) owned by, or licensed to (subject to obtaining any Third Party Consent which contemplates the sub-licence granted in this Clause 18.3), such Provider Group Member and used in the provision of Transitional Services solely to the extent necessary to receive the same in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of this Agreement and to use and exploit howsoever all data, information, documents and materials generated or processed for the Recipient or Recipient Group Members in providing the Transitional Services.

To the extent that by virtue of the foregoing the Recipient is not automatically the owner of all such rights, the Provider and each Provider Group Member hereby assign for nominal consideration to the Recipient all such rights, whether present or arising in the future. For the avoidance of doubt, such rights to be owned by the Recipient under this Clause 18.4 shall not include any Intellectual Property in or to any improvements made by the Provider Group Members in providing the Transitional Services to any Provider Group Member’s Intellectual Property (or to the Intellectual Property of any relevant Third Party Provider) as at the date of this Agreement (including, without limitation, improvements to the technology owned by, or licensed (other than by the Recipient or any Recipient Group Member) to, any Provider Group Members and used to provide the Transitional Services).

19.                               Property

 

19.1                        The Recipient (on behalf of the Recipient Group Members) hereby covenants with the Provider (for itself and on behalf of each Provider Group Member) in the terms of Part C of Schedule 4 in respect of Premises situated within any Property.

 

19.2                        For the avoidance of doubt, any Licence granted pursuant to this Agreement is personal to the relevant Recipient Group Member and is not assignable and does not permit the relevant Recipient Group Member to authorise anyone else to use the Premises.

 

19.3                        In respect only of the Premises located in Slough (as more specifically described in Part B of Schedule 4), following receipt by the relevant Recipient Group Member of notice from the Provider or the relevant Provider Group Member that the Landlord has threatened to take action in respect of any breach of the lease pursuant to which the relevant Provider Group Member occupies the Property caused by the creation or continuation of the Licence, the parties shall promptly discuss in good faith and use all reasonable endeavours to agree how to continue to provide accommodation for the Recipient Group Member in Slough for the remainder of the Service Period, which (for the avoidance of doubt) may include the Recipient Group Member relocating to equivalent space and facilities at alternate premises in Slough or the parties negotiating with the Landlord to agree that the Recipient Group Member may continue to occupy the Premises then in occupation.

 

19.4                        For the avoidance of doubt, the Provider acknowledges that the Service Charge in respect of the Premises at Slough (as more particularly described in Part B of Schedule 4) will not be increased by any reduction in the relevant Provider Group Member’s headcount at the relevant Property.

 

20.                               Personnel

 

20.1                        The parties intend and believe that on the cessation of the provision of the relevant (i) services under each of the Detailing Agreements, or (ii) Transitional Services by a Provider Group Member or by any Provider Personnel including without limitation, on the termination of this Agreement, or (iii) services under the Existing Supply Agreement (which is expected to be on Plant Day), each as the case may be, each event shall constitute a service provision change for the purposes of the Regulations, and thus result, through the application of the Regulations, in respect of the relevant Transferring Employees assigned to the provision of such services, in those relevant Transferring Employees listed in Paragraph 7 of Part A of Schedule 2 (together with any additional individuals as agreed in writing by the parties), who were assigned to such services at the date of their cessation, becoming an employee of a Recipient Group Member or any Replacement Service Provider. The parties also intend that:

 

(A)                               on cessation of such relevant (i) services under each of the Detailing Agreements, or (ii) Transitional Services, or (iii) services under the Existing Supply Agreement the relevant Transferring Employees listed in Paragraph 6 of Part B of Schedule 2 (together with any additional individuals as agreed in writing by the parties), who were assigned to such services at the date of their cessation, shall be offered employment by a Recipient Group Member or any

 

33

 

Replacement Service Provider, as their employment would not transfer automatically by operation of law;

 

(B)                               on the occurrence of the Singapore Central Team Trigger Event, the Singapore Central Team shall be offered employment by a Recipient Group Member or any Replacement Service Provider, as their employment would not transfer automatically by operation of law; and

 

(C)                               on the occurrence of the Canadian Employee Trigger Event, the Canadian Employees shall be offered employment by a Recipient Group Member or any Replacement Service Provider, as their employment would not transfer automatically by operation of law.

 

In each of these circumstances then the provisions in Part A of Schedule 2 shall apply. For the avoidance of doubt, any individual who has ceased to be an employee of a Provider Group Member or ceased to be Provider Personnel prior to a relevant cessation of services or the occurrence of the Singapore Central Team Trigger Event or the Canadian Employee Trigger Event (as the case may be) contemplated by this Clause 20.1 shall not be a Transferring Employee notwithstanding that such individual may be listed in Paragraph 7 of Part A of Schedule 2 or Paragraph 6 of Part B of Schedule 2 at the time of signing this Agreement.

 

20.2                        In the event that any employee of a Provider Group Member (other than a Transferring Employee) becomes or alleges that he has become by operation of the Regulations an employee of any member of the Recipient Group or any Replacement Service Provider by virtue of his providing or ceasing to provide services under any of the Detailing Agreements, Transitional Services, the Existing Supply Agreement and/or any of the matters contemplated by this Agreement and/or the occurrence of the Singapore Central Team Trigger Event or the Canadian Employee Trigger Event, then the provisions of Part B of Schedule 2 shall apply.

 

20.3                        Each Recipient Group Member shall not, and shall use reasonable endeavours to procure that none of its employees (nor any sub-contractors, agents or visitors of a Recipient Group Member) shall, cause any injury to any person involved in the provision of the services under each of the Detailing Agreements or Transitional Services or the Existing Supply Agreement or in the operation of the business of the Provider Group Members (or of any other party in occupation of the relevant Property) or damage to any of the equipment of the Provider Group Members or other property (including conduits, pipes, cables and the like) to which the Recipient Group Members are given access or which are used by a Recipient Group Member for or in connection with the provision to the Recipient of the services under each of the Detailing Agreements or Transitional Services under this Agreement or the Existing Supply Agreement. The Recipient (on behalf of the relevant Recipient Group Member) shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify the relevant Provider Group Member in respect of, all losses, claims, demands, actions, proceedings, damages, costs or expenses, or other liability arising from any breach or non-observance of the obligations contained in this Clause 20.3.

 

20.4                        Each Provider Group Member shall not, and shall use reasonable endeavours to procure that none of its employees (nor any sub-contractors, agents or visitors of a Provider Group Member) shall, cause any injury to any person involved in the receipt

 

34

 

of the services under each of the Detailing Agreements or Transitional Services or the Existing Supply Agreement or in the operation of the business of the Recipient Group Members (or of any other party in occupation of the relevant Property) or damage to any of the equipment of the Recipient Group Members or other property (including conduits, pipes, cables and the like) to which the Provider Group Members are given access or which are used by a Provider Group Member for or in connection with the provision to the Recipient of the services under each of the Detailing Agreements or Transitional Services under this Agreement or the Existing Supply Agreement. The Provider (on behalf of the relevant Provider Group Member) shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify the relevant Recipient Group Member in respect of, all losses, claims, demands, actions, proceedings, damages, costs or expenses, or other liability arising from any breach or non-observance of the obligations contained in this Clause 20.4.

 

20.5                        To the extent that the obligations of the Provider in connection with the services under each of the Detailing Agreements or Transitional Services or the Existing Supply Agreement shall be to make available to the Recipient Group Members any Provider Personnel to work under the direct supervision and control of the Recipient Group Members, the Recipient (on behalf of the relevant Recipient Group Member) hereby agrees to indemnify and shall keep indemnified the Provider Group Members from and against any and all loss, damage or liability suffered by such member as a result of any act or omission of such personnel which occurs at a time when such personnel are acting under the direct supervision and control of a Recipient Group Member, other than when such acts or omissions occur at a time when the Provider Personnel are acting outside the scope of their employment or the instructions of the Recipient Group Members or carry out their duties without reasonable skill and care. In such cases, the Provider (on behalf of the relevant Provider Group Member) hereby agrees to indemnify and shall keep indemnified the Recipient Group Members from and against any and all loss, damage or liability suffered by such member as a result of any such act or omission of any Provider Personnel.

 

20.6                        The Recipient (on behalf of the Recipient Group Members) undertakes to the Provider (for itself and on behalf of the Provider Group Members) that no Recipient Group Member will within 12 months after the occurrence of (i) the Singapore Central Team Trigger Event, or (ii) the Canadian Employee Trigger Event, or the cessation of the provision of the relevant (I) services under each of the Detailing Agreements or (ii) Transitional Services, or (iii) services under the Existing Supply Agreement, solicit or entice away any person (other than a Transferring Employee) who has been engaged in the provision of the services under the Detailing Agreements, the Transitional Services or the services under the Existing Supply Agreement and is employed in a senior, technical or managerial role or above from the employment of any member of the Provider Group (save where such solicitation or enticement is as a result of a response by such person or persons to advertisements not specifically targeted at such persons or to persons employed by any member of the Provider Group from time to time). For the avoidance of doubt, the 12 month period set out in this Clause 20.6 shall apply in each case from the date of the occurrence of the Singapore Central Team Trigger Event or the Canadian Employee Trigger Event or cessation of each of the relevant services and shall not apply for a 12 month period from the cessation of the last relevant service or, if later, the occurrence of the Singapore Central Team Trigger Event or Canadian Employee Trigger Event.

 

35

 

20.7                        The Provider (on behalf of the Provider Group Members) undertakes to the Recipient (for itself and on behalf of the Recipient Group Members) that no Provider Group Member will within 12 months after the occurrence of (i) the Singapore Central Team Trigger Event, or (ii) the Canadian Employee Trigger Event or the cessation of the provision of the relevant (i) services under each of the Detailing Agreements or (ii) Transitional Services, or (iii)services under the Existing Supply Agreement, solicit or entice away any person who has been engaged in the provision of services under the Detailing Agreements, the Transitional Services or Existing Supply Agreement and is employed in a senior, technical or managerial role or above from the employment of any member of the Recipient Group (save where such solicitation or enticement is as a result of a response by such person or persons to advertisements not specifically targeted at such persons or to persons employed by any member of the Recipient Group from time to time). For the avoidance of doubt, the 12 month period set out in this Clause 20.7 shall apply in each case from the date of the occurrence of the Singapore Central Team Trigger Event or the Canadian Employee Trigger Event or cessation of each of the relevant services and shall not apply for a 12 month period from the cessation of the last relevant service or, if later, the occurrence of the Singapore Central Team Trigger Event or the Canadian Employee Trigger Event.

 

20.8                        The Recipient shall use its reasonable endeavours to procure that both the Singapore

 

20.9                        Central Team Trigger Event and the Canadian Trigger Event occur as soon as reasonably practicable after the Commencement Date.

 

21.                               Term

 

This Agreement shall come into effect on the Commencement Date and, subject to Clauses 22 and 24 below, shall continue in force in respect of each Transitional Service until the applicable Expiry Date and (save as expressly stated in this Agreement) shall terminate on the Expiry Date of the last remaining Transitional Service, save that any Service Period may be extended by any period agreed between the parties in writing.

 

22.                               Termination

 

22.1                        Either the Provider or the Recipient may, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which it may have generally and, in particular, the right to damages, terminate this Agreement forthwith by notice in writing to the other party (the “Defaulting Party”) if:

 

(A)                               the Defaulting Party repudiates this Agreement or is in material breach of this Agreement and such breach, if capable of remedy, is not remedied within 30 days of receiving notice from the first party specifying the breach and requiring the same to be remedied;

 

(B)                               the board of the Defaulting Party proposes, or the Defaulting Party makes, any scheme of arrangement or composition with its creditors and that arrangement is not terminated or discharged within 14 days, save that no right to terminate will arise in respect of any arrangement commenced for the purpose of a solvent amalgamation or reconstruction with the prior consent of the other party (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

 

36

 

(C)                               the Defaulting Party is unable to pay its debts within the meaning of Section 123 of the Insolvency Act 1986 or ceases to trade;

 

(D)                               a resolution is passed or a petition presented for the winding-up of the Defaulting Party (and is not withdrawn within 14 days) other than for the purposes of a reconstruction or amalgamation, during the course of which the Defaulting Party remains capable of performing in full its obligations under this Agreement, and the terms of which have previously been approved in writing by the first party (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

 

(E)                                a resolution is passed for the appointment, or the appointment is otherwise made, of a receiver, manager or like person over the whole or any material part of the property or assets of the Defaulting Party or a resolution is passed or a petition presented for the making of an administration order or an administration order is otherwise made in relation to the Defaulting Party; or

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Recipient notifies the Provider of the termination of only one of the Transitional Services, such termination shall not preclude the Provider from performing each of the other remaining Transitional Services until the Expiry Date.

 

22.4                        The Expiry Costs (if any) arising on termination of a Transitional Service pursuant to Clause 22.3 as prior to the relevant Expiry Date shall be borne by the Recipient PROVIDED THAT the Provider has used its reasonable endeavours to minimise the amount of such Expiry Costs.

Termination of this Agreement shall not affect any rights, liabilities or remedies arising under this Agreement prior to such termination.

 

37

SL1 4AA, England (or any accommodation to which RB and RBP may relocate in Slough during the period of 24 months from the Demerger)) on a Property by Property basis on nine months’ prior written notice, without effect on the performance of each of the remaining Licences or other Transitional Services.

23.6                        Provider Group Members shall be entitled to suspend the provision of all or any Transitional Services to the extent necessary to perform routine or emergency maintenance work on the IT Systems of any party or of any member of such party’s Group, PROVIDED THAT the Provider shall provide the Recipient with reasonable

 

39

 

prior notice of any routine maintenance (and, to the extent reasonably practicable in the circumstances, emergency maintenance) which it considers will or is reasonably likely to lead to suspension of the provision of any Transitional Services in accordance with this Clause 23.6. The relevant Provider Group Members shall use all reasonable endeavours to conduct such maintenance in a manner that minimises disruption to the remaining Transitional Services.

 

23.7                        Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude any Provider Group Member from changing Third Party Provider in respect of any Transitional Service under this Agreement, engaging any Third Party Provider for the first time in respect of any Transitional Service under this Agreement or making any material change to, or extension or renewal of a Contract (a “Contract Alteration”) as part of a change in respect of any business of the Provider Group in the ordinary course of trading, PROVIDED THAT:

 

(A)                               the relevant Provider Group Member shall:

 

(i)                                     provide the Recipient with reasonable prior notice of such Contract Alteration, including details thereof sufficient to enable the Recipient reasonably to evaluate the potential effect of such Contract Alteration in relation to the Transitional Services and costs thereof; and

 

(ii)                                  use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that the transition to the new supplier is conducted as promptly as possible and in a manner that minimises disruption to the relevant Transitional Services; and

 

(B)                               the Service Level in respect of the relevant Transitional Service shall not otherwise be affected.

 

If the Recipient believes that a proposed increase in the level of Service Charges payable in respect of the relevant Transitional Service as a result of a Contract Alteration is unreasonable it may within 20 Business Days of notice of such proposed increased Service Charge notify the Provider Representative in writing, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such belief and the escalation process set out in Clause 16.5 shall apply.

 

24.                               Force Majeure

 

24.1                        “Force Majeure” means, in relation to a party, a circumstance or set of circumstances beyond the reasonable control of that party (the “Claiming Party”) but only to the extent that the Claiming Party used its reasonable endeavours to mitigate the effect of the Force Majeure prior to the occurrence thereof. An act or omission of a Third Party Provider shall not be considered Force Majeure unless such act or omission was itself caused by Force Majeure.

 

24.2                        The Claiming Party shall not be in breach of this Agreement or otherwise liable to the other party (the “Non-claiming Party”) for a delay in performing or failure to perform any obligation (other than a payment obligation) under this Agreement, to the extent that it is prevented, hindered or delayed in performing that obligation by Force Majeure, provided that the Claiming Party notifies the Provider (where the Non-claiming Party is a Provider Group Member) or the Recipient (where the Non-claiming Party is a Recipient Group Member) of the nature and extent of the

 

40

 

circumstance(s) giving rise to such Force Majeure (including the affected Transitional Service(s)) as soon as is reasonably practicable following the onset of such Force Majeure.

 

24.3                        The Non-claiming Party shall allow the Claiming Party a period not exceeding 30 days from the date on which notification of Force Majeure is received by the Provider or the Recipient (as applicable) during which the Claiming Party shall use reasonable endeavours to mitigate the effect of Force Majeure and to carry out its obligations under this Agreement. If such delay or failure persists for more than 30 days then the Provider or the Recipient (as applicable) on behalf of the Non-claiming Party may by written notice to the Provider or the Recipient (as applicable) on behalf of the Claiming Party terminate this Agreement with immediate effect in respect of the relevant Transitional Service(s) in relation to which the delay in performing or failure has arisen.

 

24.4                        To the extent that a Recipient Group Member does not receive a Transitional Service due to a Force Majeure event, the Recipient shall have no obligation to pay the Service Charges for such affected Transitional Service, may terminate the affected Transitional Service at no cost to the relevant Recipient Group Member and may engage at its own cost such third parties as it wishes to provide alternative services.

 

25.                               Confidentiality

 

25.1                        Subject to Clause 25.2, Provider Group Members and Recipient Group Members shall treat as strictly confidential all information obtained as a result of entering into or performing this Agreement which relates to:

 

(A)                               the provisions of this Agreement or the Demerger Agreement or any of the other Ancillary Agreements;

 

(B)                               the negotiations relating to this Agreement or the Demerger Agreement or any of the other Ancillary Agreements; or

 

(C)                               in the case of each Provider Group Member, the Recipient Group Member and the business carried on by it, and in the case of each Recipient Group Member, each Provider Group Member and the business carried on by it. Without limiting the foregoing, all data and information generated, processed or collected by the Provider Group Members for the Recipient Group Members in the performance of the Transitional Services shall be the confidential information of the Recipient Group Members.

 

25.2                        Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Clause 25, a Provider Group Member or Recipient Group Member may disclose any such confidential information to the extent:

 

(A)                               required by law of or for the purpose of any Proceedings;

 

(B)                               required by any securities exchange or regulatory or governmental body or any Tax Authority to which that party is subject or submits, wherever situated, or any Tax Authority whether or not the requirement for information has the force of law;

 

41

 

(C)                               required to vest the full benefit of this Agreement in that party;

 

(D)                               that the information is disclosed to the professional advisers, auditors and/or bankers of that party provided they have a duty to keep such information confidential;

 

(E)                                that the information has come into the public domain through no fault of that party;

 

(F)                                 that the other party has given prior written consent to the disclosure, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or

 

(G)                               it does so to a member of the Provider Group or, as the case may be, a member of the Recipient Group, which accepts restrictions in the terms of this Clause 25,

 

PROVIDED THAT any such information disclosed pursuant to Clauses 25.2(A), 25.2(B) or 25.2(C) shall be disclosed only after consultation with, in the case of a Provider Group Member, the Recipient and, in the case of a Recipient Group Member, the Provider.

 

25.3                        In addition to the provisions of Clause 25.2, each Provider Group Member and each Recipient Group Member may disclose confidential information:

 

(A)                               to any Provider Personnel or Third Party Provider to the extent reasonably necessary to enable the Transitional Services to be provided or received;

 

(B)                               to any person to the extent reasonably necessary for the relevant Provider Group Member to obtain any Third Party Consent; and

 

(C)                               to those persons referred to in Clause 12.1,

 

PROVIDED THAT the relevant person shall procure that any such recipients are subject to obligations of confidentiality in terms no less onerous that those set out in this Clause 25.

 

25.4                        The restrictions contained in this Clause 25 shall continue to apply after termination of this Agreement without limit in time.

 

26.                               Announcements

 

26.1                        With exception to the content of any press releases agreed between the parties or unless otherwise agreed by the parties, a party shall not make any formal press release or other public announcement in connection with the Demerger.

 

26.2                        Notwithstanding Clause 26.1, any announcement required by any applicable law and regulation or by any securities exchange or regulatory or governmental body or any Taxation Authority to which that party is subject or submits, wherever situated, whether or not the requirement has the force of law, may be made without such agreement of the parties (PROVIDED THAT, unless such consultation is prohibited by applicable law and regulation, or is not reasonably practicable, it is made by a party only after consultation with the other party).

 

42

 

27.                               No waiver

 

27.1                        No failure or delay on the part of any person in exercising any right or remedy provided by law or under this Agreement (and any other agreement referred to herein) shall operate as a waiver or variation of it or preclude its exercise at any subsequent time.

 

27.2                        A waiver by any person of a breach of or default under this Agreement (and any other agreement referred to herein) shall not constitute a waiver of any other breach or default and shall not affect the other terms of this Agreement (and any other agreement referred to herein) or the rights of any other person thereto.

 

28.                               Severance

 

If any term or provision of this Agreement is, or becomes invalid, unenforceable or illegal, in whole or in part, under the laws of any jurisdiction, such term or provision or part shall to that extent be deemed not to form part of this Agreement, but the validity, enforceability or legality of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be impaired.

 

29.                               Subcontracting

 

A Provider Group Member may sub-contract or otherwise delegate the performance of any Transitional Services to any of the Provider Personnel provided that the relevant Provider Group Member shall remain at all times responsible to the relevant Recipient Group Member for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and, without limiting the scope of the foregoing, shall ensure that such subcontractor performs such sub-contracted Transitional Services in a manner consistent with the Service Levels and other applicable terms of this Agreement.

 

30.                               No partnership

 

Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute a partnership between the parties or any of them, nor constitute any party the agent of any other party for any purpose.

 

31.                               Entire agreement

 

31.1                        This Agreement, the Demerger Agreement, the other Ancillary Agreements and the other documents referred to herein that are existing agreements between a Provider Group Member and a Recipient Group Member or that have been, or will be, entered into pursuant to the Demerger Agreement constitute the entire agreement and understanding between the parties in respect of the subject matter of this Agreement (the “Entire Agreement Documents”) and supersede any prior drafts, agreements, undertakings, representations, warranties and arrangements of any kind, whether or not in writing, regarding the same.

 

31.2                        Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it does not rely on, and it has not been induced to enter into this Agreement or any other document referred to in Clause 31.1 to which it is a party by, any warranty, representation, covenant, agreement, undertaking, indemnity or other statement whatsoever other than as are expressly set out in the Entire Agreement Documents to which it is a party. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to damages or rescission or any

 

43

 

other remedy in respect of any misrepresentation, warranty or undertaking not contained in the Entire Agreement Documents to which it is a party except to the extent such misrepresentation, warranty or undertaking is proven to have resulted from any fraud by or on behalf of the other party or any of its directors, officers or employees.

 

32.                               Assignment

 

32.1                        Subject to Clauses 32.2 and 32.3, no Provider Group Member or Recipient Group Member shall:

32.3                        Where a Provider Group Member or a Recipient Group Member has assigned any of its rights to, as the case may be, a member of the Provider Group or the Recipient Group, in the event that the assignee shall cease to be a member of, in the case of assignment by a Provider Group Member, the Provider Group or, in the case of assignment by a Recipient Group Member, the Recipient Group, the Provider or the Recipient, as the case may be, shall procure that the assignee re-assigns its rights under this Agreement to a member of the Provider Group or the Recipient Group (as the case may be).

 

33.                               Further assurance

33.3                        Without prejudice to any other provision of this Agreement, the parties undertake to use reasonable endeavours to co-operate, and ensure that their respective Groups co-operate, with each other in relation to the conduct of litigation, inquiries from

 

44

 

Government or regulatory bodies (including any Tax Authority), investigations or other proceedings of a like nature (an “Investigation”) where:

 

(A)                               they have a mutual interest in the Investigation; and

 

(B)                               co-operating in such manner would not materially adversely affect any material interest of either of them.

Schedule 2
 (Personnel)

 

Part A:  Transferring Employees

 

1.                                      The parties intend and believe that the cessation of the provision of the relevant (i) services under each of the Detailing Agreements, or (ii) Transitional Services by a Provider Group Member or by any Provider Personnel including without limitation, on the termination of this Agreement, or (iii) services under the Existing Supply Agreement (which is expected to be on the Plant Day), each as the case may be, shall constitute a service provision change or transfer for the purposes of the Regulations, and thus result, through the application of the Regulations, in respect of the relevant Transferring Employees assigned to the provision of such services, in those relevant Transferring Employees listed in paragraph 7 of Part A of this Schedule 2 (together with any additional individuals as agreed in writing by the parties) who were assigned to such services at the date of their cessation (the “Assumed Transferring Employees”) becoming an employee of a Recipient Group Member or any Replacement Service Provider. The parties also intend that:

 

(A)                               on cessation of such relevant (i) services under each of the Detailing Agreements, or (ii) Transitional Services or (iii) services under the Existing Supply Agreement the relevant Transferring Employees listed in paragraph 6 of Part B of this Schedule 2 (together with any additional individuals as agreed in writing by the parties) who were assigned to such services at the date of their cessation;

 

(B)                               on the occurrence of the Singapore Central Team Trigger Event, the Singapore Central Team; and

 

(C)                               on the occurrence of the Canadian Employee Trigger Event, the Canadian Employees;

 

(together the “Offer Transferring Employees”) shall be offered employment by (i) a member of the Recipient Group or (ii) any Replacement Service Provider, as their employment would not transfer automatically by operation of law. For the avoidance of doubt, any individual who has ceased to be an employee of a Provider Group Member or ceased to be Provider Personnel prior to a relevant cessation of services or the occurrence of the Singapore Central Team Trigger Event or the Canadian Employee Trigger Event (as the case may be) contemplated by this paragraph 1 shall not be a Transferring Employee notwithstanding that such individual may be listed in paragraph 7 of Part A of this Schedule 2 or  paragraph 6 of Part B of this Schedule 2 at the time of signing this Agreement.

 

2.                                      If as a result of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement the contract of employment of any Assumed Transferring Employee is found or alleged not to have effect after the relevant Transfer Date as if originally made with the Recipient Group Member or any Replacement Service Provider, the Recipient (on behalf of the relevant Recipient Group Member or Replacement Service Provider), in consultation with the Provider (on behalf of the relevant Provider Group Member or Provider Personnel), will, within 14 days of being so requested by the Provider, make to that

 

 

Assumed Transferring Employee an offer in writing to employ him under a new contract of employment, on terms and conditions which (other than the identity of the employer and any terms and conditions relating to an occupational pension scheme) will not (taken as a whole) be less favourable in the aggregate than the corresponding provisions of the Assumed Transferring Employee’s contract of employment immediately before the relevant Transfer Date, to take effect upon the termination referred to below. Once that offer has been made (or after the expiry of 14 days after it has been requested), the relevant Provider Group Member may terminate the employment of the Transferring Employee concerned.

 

3.                                      In relation to all of the Offer Transferring Employees, the Recipient will make, or will procure that a Recipient Group Member or any Replacement Service Provider makes, at least 28 days before the relevant Transfer Date, an offer to employ each relevant Offer Transferring Employee under a new contract of employment on terms and conditions which (other than the identity of the employer and any terms and conditions relating to an occupational pension scheme) will not (taken as a whole) be less favourable in the aggregate than the corresponding provisions of the Offer Transferring Employee’s contract of employment immediately before the relevant Transfer Date to take effect upon the relevant Transfer Date.

 

4.                                      All wages, salaries, bonuses (deferred or otherwise), profit share or other incentive payment, commission, liability for contractual or statutory holiday, employer’s liabilities in respect of the pay as you earn system, primary and secondary national insurance contributions, reimbursement of expenses, payment of insurance premiums and any other financial obligations due to or in respect of the Transferring Employees (whether under or in connection with their contracts of employment or otherwise) which have accrued in or otherwise relate to a period:

 

(A)                               after the relevant Transfer Date shall be borne or discharged by the relevant Recipient Group Member or Replacement Service Provider; and

 

(B)                               on or before the relevant Transfer Date shall be borne or discharged by the Provider Group Member.

 

All necessary apportionments shall be made to give effect to this paragraph 4.

 

5.                                      The Provider (on behalf of the relevant Provider Group Member) shall indemnify the relevant Recipient Group Member against any claim in respect of:

 

(A)                               the employment or termination of employment of any of the Transferring Employees on or prior to the relevant Transfer Date or termination of employment of an Assumed Transferring Employee by the Provider (or relevant Provider Group Member) after a relevant Transfer Date in the circumstances set out in paragraph 2 of Part A of this Schedule 2;

 

(B)                               subject to paragraph 6(C) of Part A, any failure by any Provider Group Member to comply with its obligations to inform and consult with the Transferring Employees and/or their representatives about the transfer of employment (including without limitation under Regulation 13 of TUPE or any equivalent provision in the Regulations); and

 

 

(C)                               any breach of paragraph 4(B) of Part A.

 

6.                                      The Recipient (on behalf of the relevant Recipient Group Member) shall indemnify the relevant Provider Group Member against any claim in respect of:

 

(A)                               the employment of any Transferring Employee after the relevant Transfer Date, save for any liability arising as a result of any act or omission by the Provider or Provider Group Member, as applicable;

 

(B)                               any termination of the employment of any Transferring Employee by the Recipient or Recipient Group Member, as applicable after the relevant Transfer Date;

 

(C)                               any failure by any Recipient Group Member (or Replacement Service Provider) to comply with its obligations to provide information for the processes being conducted pursuant to paragraph 5(B) of Part A above (including, without limitation, under Regulation 13(4) of TUPE or any equivalent provision in the Regulations); and

 

(D)                               any breach of paragraph 4(A) of Part A.

Part B: Non Transferring Employees

 

1.                                      In the event that any employee of any member of the Provider Group (other than a Transferring Employee) becomes or alleges that he has become by operation of the Regulations an employee of any member of the Recipient Group or any Replacement Service Provider by virtue of his providing or ceasing to provide services under any of the Detailing Agreements, Transitional Services, the Existing Supply Agreement and/or any of the other matters contemplated by this Agreement under this Agreement and/or the occurrence of the Singapore Central Team Trigger Event or the Canadian Employee Trigger Event, then (subject to paragraph 2 of Part B) the relevant member of the Recipient Group or any Replacement Service Provider may terminate the employment of such person (each such person being a “Redundant Employee”).

 

2.                                      Prior to the relevant member of the Recipient Group or Replacement Service Provider terminating the employment of any Redundant Employee, the Recipient or any Replacement Service Provider shall give the Provider not less than 7 Business Days’ written notice of the proposed termination date (the “Termination Date”), in order to enable the Provider Group or, as the case may be, the Third Party Provider to:

 

(A)                               offer that Redundant Employee employment under a new contract of employment to take effect immediately upon such Termination Date; and

 

(B)                               ensure that the offer to be made will be such that none of the terms and conditions of the new contract will differ from the corresponding provisions of that Redundant Employee’s contract immediately before the transfer or alleged transfer of employment to the Recipient or any Replacement Service Provider.

 

3.                                      The parties agree that any termination of the employment of a Redundant Employee shall be by reason of redundancy.

 

4.                                      The Provider (on behalf of the relevant Provider Group Member) shall fully indemnify the relevant member of the Recipient Group or any Replacement Service Provider against any expenses, losses, fees, costs and/or liabilities arising out of (i) the employment of that Redundant Employee which transfer pursuant to Regulation 4 of TUPE or any equivalent provision in the Regulations; (ii) the Redundant Employee’s employment with the relevant member of the Recipient Group or any Replacement Service Provider; and (iii) the termination of a Redundant Employee’s employment, provided that:

 

(A)                               the indemnity under this paragraph 4 of Part B shall extend only to any contractual payments made in lieu of notice (by reference to salary and any contractual benefits), statutory redundancy or severance pay or statutory indemnities, and/or payments made pursuant to any contractual redundancy policy in place at the Completion Date (in each case to the extent properly payable and paid in respect of any such termination) and in respect of any statutory unfair dismissal or redundancy claims arising out of the termination of the Redundant Employee’s employment;

 

(B)                               such termination takes place as soon as is reasonably practicable (subject to the Recipient’s obligations under paragraph 2 of Part B) and in any event

 

 

within one month after the occurrence of the Singapore Central Team Trigger Event or the Canadian Employee Trigger Event or the termination of the relevant services under any of the Detailing Agreements, Transitional Service(s) or the Existing Supply Agreement (as the case may be); and

 

(C)                               the Recipient complies with its obligations under paragraph 2 of Part B.

 

5.                                      In the event that any member of the Recipient Group engages a Redundant Employee within three months following the termination of employment of the Redundant Employee by any member of the Recipient Group in circumstances where this Schedule 2 applies, the relevant Recipient Group Member (or any Replacement Service Provider) shall repay to the Provider (on behalf of the relevant Provider Group member) any amounts paid by the Provider (on behalf of the relevant Provider Group member) to the relevant Recipient Group Member in respect of that Redundant Employee pursuant to paragraph 4 of Part B above, together with interest at the Bank of England base rate from time to time in force which interest shall accrue from the date on which such sums become due until payment.

Schedule 3
 (Separation)

 

1.                                      Introduction

 

1.1                               This Schedule 3 defines the general principles in respect of IT Systems to which both parties will adhere in relation to the cessation of the provision of Transitional Services involving the IT Systems of the Provider Group Members to the Recipient Group Members and the separation of the Indivior Business from the Provider Group (the “Separation”).

 

1.2                               In defining and carrying out their obligations under this Schedule 3, the objective of the parties is to achieve an organised, efficient and prompt Separation causing minimal disruption and interruption to the businesses of both parties and at the lowest reasonable cost, but without limiting the Provider Group Members’ obligations to provide the Transitional Services in accordance with the other terms of this Agreement.

 

2.                                      Separation Project Plans

 

2.1                               Promptly after the Completion Date, the parties shall use all reasonable endeavours to:

 

(A)                               establish appropriate project team(s) to carry out such separation project(s) as are agreed between the parties (acting reasonably) (“Separation Projects”);

 

(B)                               agree appropriate processes and methods of working; and

 

(C)                               agree a timetable for each Separation Project (as applicable) that provides for the Separation Project to be completed by the relevant Expiry Date (the “Separation Timetable”),

 

to ensure that Separation occurs in an organised, efficient and prompt manner.

 

2.2                               The Recipient (on behalf of the Recipient Group Members) and the Provider (on behalf of the Provider Group Members) shall agree a written detailed plan in respect of each Separation Project as applicable (each a “Separation Project Plan”) within at least three months prior to the relevant Expiry Date in respect of the Transitional Services set out in Schedule 1 involving the IT Systems of the Provider Group, which shall include as a minimum:

 

(A)                               a plan and timetable for the Provider Group Members and the Recipient Group Members migration away from the applicable Transitional Services provided under this Agreement;

 

(B)                               information in relation to the operation of the parties’ IT Systems and interfaces between each such system;

 

(C)                               the assistance that the Provider Group Members shall provide to the Recipient Group Members in relation to the migration of data from the Provider Group’s systems to the Recipient Group’s systems necessary for the migration of the relevant Transitional Services;

 

 

(D)                               safeguards for the Recipient Group Members and Provider Group Members to  ensure minimal disruption to their respective ongoing business relationships with third parties during implementation of the Separation Project Plan; and

 

(E)                                the respective responsibilities of the parties in carrying out the Separation  Project Plan.

 

2.3                               The Provider (on behalf of the Provider Group Members) and the Recipient (on behalf of the Recipient Group Members) will be responsible for performance of those aspects of each Separation Project Plan as are listed against its name in each Separation Project Plan.

 

2.4                               Each party shall nominate a project manager in respect of each Separation Project to have primary responsibility for co-ordination of that Separation Project. The project managers for each Separation Project shall meet at regular intervals to discuss progress of the Separation Projects against the Separation Timetable, and to agree to any amendments or adjustments to any Separation Project Plan as may be necessary.

 

2.5                               The parties shall use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that each stage of a Separation Project, and each Separation Project itself, is completed by the relevant Expiry Date. If at any time during the term of this Agreement either party envisages that any stage of a Separation Project may not be completed by the applicable Expiry Date, it will notify the other as soon as is reasonably practicable, and the relevant Separation Project managers shall meet to discuss any amendments or adjustments to this Agreement or to any Separation Project Plan as may be necessary.

 

2.6                               In carrying out the Separation Projects, and in performing its obligations under this Schedule 3 generally, and, in the case of the Provider Group Members, subject to the obligations to provide Transitional Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement other than this Schedule 3, each party undertakes to use reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption to the business of the other party and to take into account any bona fide commercial concerns raised by the other.

 

2.7                               An initial draft timeline outlining the events which are currently considered necessary by the parties in such a Separation Project Plan is set out as Attachment 1 to this Schedule 3.

 

3.                                      Separation Costs

 

All Costs incurred by the Provider Group Members and/or any Provider Personnel (such Costs to be calculated on an FTE basis, applying the Provider Group’s standard calculations therefor, consistently applied) directly in connection with the performance of the Provider’s obligations under and in accordance with this Schedule 3 shall be borne by the Recipient (on behalf of the Recipient Group Members).

 

4.                                      Transfer of Equipment

 

4.1                               The parties acknowledge that certain equipment provided to the Recipient Group Members as part of the Transitional Services under this Agreement (“Leased Equipment”) is provided subject to the terms and conditions in respect of such leased equipment under the relevant Contracts.

 

 

4.2                               Without prejudice to the provisions of Clause 22.4, the Recipient (on behalf of the Recipient Group Members) and the Provider (on behalf of the Provider Group Members) shall agree a Separation Project Plan within at least three months prior to the relevant Expiry Date in respect of the Leased Equipment, with a view to ensuring (at the Recipient’s election) either:

 

(A)                               the continued provision of such Leased Equipment to the Recipient Group Members under a separate agreement between the relevant Recipient Group Member and the relevant Third Party Provider; or

 

(B)                               the return of such Leased Equipment to the relevant Third Party Provider, subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant Contract.

1.1                               Each Provider Group Member and each Recipient Group Member hereby agrees that they will each use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Commencement Date:

12.3                                 Indivior shall procure that the Indivior Group Companies use all reasonable endeavours to procure that full effect is given to the surrenders to be made under this clause 12 and that such surrenders are allowed in full by HMRC and (without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) will sign and submit to HMRC all such notices of consent to surrender (including provisional or protective notices of consent in cases where any relevant Tax computation has not yet been agreed) and all such other documents and returns as may be necessary to secure that full effect is given to this clause 12.

 

12.4                                 RB shall procure that the RB Group Companies use all reasonable endeavours to procure that full effect is given to the surrenders to be made under this clause 12 and that such surrenders are allowed in full by HMRC and (without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) will sign and submit to HMRC all such notices of consent to surrender (including provisional or protective notices of consent in cases where any relevant Tax computation has not yet been agreed) and all such other documents and returns as may be necessary to secure that full effect is given to this clause 12.

12.6                                 If the amount of the relevant surrender is subsequently adjusted then:

 

18

(B)                                        in cases where the amount of the Relief surrendered is decreased, the relevant Indivior Group Company shall refund to the relevant RB Group Company an amount equal to the product of the mainstream United Kingdom corporation tax rate for the accounting period in which the loss, allowance or other amount available for surrender arises (or, if more than one such rate applies to that period, the average rate for the period), expressed as a decimal, and the amount by which the Relief surrendered has been decreased.

 

12.7                                 Any sum payable under this clause 12 shall become due and payable within 15 Business Days of demand, which demand shall not be given prior to the date on which the relevant surrender or adjustment is made (except in the case of a refund pursuant to clause 12.6 which shall be made promptly on the surrender’s being adjusted).

12.9                                 This clause 12 shall apply, mutatis mutandis (with any necessary consequential changes but excluding clause 12.8 and any references to such clause), to the parties in relation to any surrenders of Group Relief that Indivior may in its sole discretion direct in writing that the RB Group Companies should make.

 

13.                                        Group Payments Arrangements

 

13.1                                 Indivior shall procure that any Indivior Group Company which is, or has at any time been, a member of the Group Payment Arrangement contributes to Reckitt Benckiser plc, within two Business Days after written demand is made therefor (or, if later, five Business Days before the amount becomes due and payable to HMRC), an amount equal to any instalment of corporation tax which is to be or has been discharged by Reckitt Benckiser plc on behalf of the Indivior Group Company in question pursuant to the Group Payment Arrangement (as certified by Reckitt Benckiser plc) provided that no such contribution shall be made to the extent that:

 

(A)                                        such contribution was made prior to or on Completion; or

 

(B)                                        Indivior would otherwise have been able to make a claim against RB under this Deed in respect of that Tax or that payment (and no such claim shall be made to the extent that such Tax or such payment is borne and discharged by Reckitt Benckiser plc).

 

13.2                                 Pursuant to clause 13.1, RB shall:

 

19

 

(A)                                        procure that Reckitt Benckiser plc shall pay to HMRC promptly following receipt thereof (of, if later, when the relevant amount is or would be due and payable to HMRC without incurring a liability to interest or penalties) an amount equal to any amount contributed to Reckitt Benckiser plc by any Indivior Group Company pursuant to the Group Payment Arrangement in respect of any instalment of corporation tax (“GPA Contributed Amount”);

 

(B)                                        procure that Reckitt Benckiser plc shall (subject to clause 13.2(C) below) apportion to the relevant Indivior Group Company each GPA Contributed Amount, such apportionment to be final and to be made by reference to the instalment or instalments of corporation tax in respect of which the GPA Contributed Amount was paid; and

 

(C)                                        promptly pay, or procure that there is promptly paid, to the relevant Indivior Group Company an amount equal to:

 

(i)                                              any excess of any amount contributed to Reckitt Benckiser plc pursuant to the Group Payment Arrangement by the relevant Indivior Group Company in respect of any instalment of corporation tax over the mount finally apportioned to the relevant Indivior Group Company in respect of that instalment or payment; and

 

(ii)                                           an amount equal to interest on such excess at the rate applicable from time to time to overdue corporation tax for the period from the date of contribution to the date of payment pursuant to clause 13.2(C)(i) above.

 

13.3                                 RB shall procure that Reckitt Benckiser plc shall, to the extent that the same has not been done prior to Completion, give notice to HMRC to the effect that each Indivior Group Company that is party to the Group Payment Arrangement will cease from Completion to be a member of the same group of companies as Reckitt Benckiser plc.

 

14.                                        Transfer Pricing

 

14.1                                 In any case in which an Indivior Group Company is the disadvantaged person and a RB Group Company is the advantaged person (in each case within the meaning of section 174(1) TIOPA):

 

(A)                                        Indivior shall, where required by notice from RB and provided such claim can legally and validly be made, procure that the disadvantaged person shall make a claim in such form as RB may require under, and account for corporation tax in accordance with, section 174(2) TIOPA; and

 

(B)                                        Indivior shall procure that the disadvantaged person shall pay in accordance with section 196 TIOPA to the advantaged person a sum equal to the amount of any Tax which is or will be saved or reduced (disregarding any Group Relief surrendered to the disadvantaged person) as a result of the claim referred to in clause 14.1(A), such payment not to exceed the “available compensating adjustment” (as that term is defined in section 196(3) TIOPA) and to be made in cleared funds on the date on which the benefit of the claim is received (whether by way of reduction in liability to

 

20

 

Tax or by reduction in any payment required to be made for the surrender of Group Relief, as applicable).

 

14.2                                 In any case in which a RB Group Company is the disadvantaged person and an Indivior Group Company is the advantaged person (in each case within the meaning of section 174(1) TIOPA):

 

(A)                                        RB shall, where required by notice from Indivior and provided such claim can legally and validly be made, procure that the disadvantaged person shall make a claim in such form as Indivior may require under, and account for corporation tax in accordance with, section 174(2) TIOPA; and

 

(B)                                        RB shall procure that the disadvantaged person shall pay in accordance with 196 TIOPA to the advantaged person a sum equal to the amount of any Tax which is or will be saved or reduced (disregarding any Group Relief surrendered to the disadvantaged person) as a result of the claim referred to in clause 14.2(A), such payment not to exceed the “available compensating adjustment” (as that term is defined in section 196(3) TIOPA) and to be made in cleared funds on the date on which the benefit of the claim is received (whether by way of reduction in liability to Tax or by reduction in any payment required to be made for the surrender of Group Relief, as applicable).

 

14.3                                 If:

 

(A)                                        any transfer pricing adjustment is made under the provisions of any Tax legislation applicable to a jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom (but excluding the United States) in relation to an arrangement made on or before Completion between any RB Group Company and any Indivior Group Company; and

 

(B)                                        the effect of that adjustment is to increase the liability to Tax of one party (the “first party”) in relation to that arrangement and to decrease the liability to Tax of the other party (the “second party”) or if the second party could, as a result of the adjustment having been made, make an election or claim which would have the effect of decreasing its liability to Tax without cost to the second party,

 

then the second party shall make such payment to the first party as it determines, acting reasonably, will leave it in no better or worse position, after-Tax, than if its liability to Tax had not been decreased as a result of the relevant adjustment.

 

15.                                        Worldwide Debt Cap

(B)                                        save as agreed by the parties, the amount of Group Relief that is capable of being surrendered by Indivior Group Companies to RB Group Companies to be approximately $[***]; and

 

(C)                                        so far as possible and subject to clauses 15.4(A) and 15.4(B), to the extent that a financing expense amount of an Indivior Group Company is to be disallowed, a financing income amount of an Indivior Group Company will be exempted and to the extent that a financing expense amount of a RB Group Company is to be disallowed, a financing income amount of a RB Group Company will be exempted.

 

15.5                                 RB shall procure that:

 

(A)                                        the Nominated Authorised Company shall give Indivior no less that 30 days to make comments on the draft statements referred to in clause 15.4;

(C)                                        the Nominated Authorised Company submits those statements to HMRC within 12 months of the relevant period of account and promptly on so doing sends copies of the same to Indivior; and

 

(D)                                        the Nominated Authorised Company promptly sends a copy of any acknowledgement, query or other response relating thereto and received from HMRC to Indivior.

Payments due to be made under this Deed shall, if not paid within 30 days of the due date and except to the extent that the liability giving rise to the payment compensates the recipient for the late payment by virtue of its extending to interest and penalties, carry interest at a rate of [***]% above the base lending rate from time to time of the Bank of England for the period from the date for the period from the date falling 30 days after the due date to the date of actual payment.

(A)                                        unless expressly required or expressly permitted under the Agreement, to the extent that any action or omission (including any failure to act in accordance with the terms of the Agreement or any failure to comply with any reasonable request of RB) of any Indivior Group Company on or after Completion prevents Section 75 of the Finance Act 1986 from applying to the transfer of the RBP Global Shares to Indivior pursuant to the Agreement, then Indivior shall procure the stamping of the stock transfer form effecting such transfer and shall pay the stamp duty arising under Part 1 to Schedule 13 of the Finance Act 1999 in relation to such transfer to the relevant Tax Authority (together with any interest and/or penalties relating thereto); and
