10.1.2 The Tax Indemnity shall operate to limit the liability of the Seller and to govern the claims procedure in respect of any claim under the Tax Warranties in respect of a liability for Tax as if such claim had been a claim in respect of a Tax Liability (as defined in the Tax Indemnity) under the Tax Indemnity.

10.2 Time Limitation for Claims

The Seller shall not be liable under this Agreement or any Local Transfer Document for breach of any Seller’s Warranty or under the Tax Indemnity in respect of any claim unless a notice of the claim is given by the Purchaser to the Seller specifying the matters set out in Clause 11.2:

10.4.2 Where the liability agreed or determined in respect of all claims exceeds 1 per cent. of the Purchase Price, the liability of the Seller shall be liable for the aggregate amount of all claims as agreed or determined and not just the excess.

10.5 Maximum Liability

The aggregate liability of the Seller in respect of any breaches of the Seller’s Warranties (other than the Seller’s Warranties contained in paragraphs 1, 2.1 or 2.3 of Schedule 16) shall not exceed an amount equal to 20 per cent. of the Purchase Price provided that the aggregate liability of the Seller in respect of all breaches of the Seller’s Warranties (including those contained in paragraphs 1, 2.1 or 2.3 of Schedule 16) shall not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price.

any matter or thing done or omitted to be done by the Seller or any member of the Seller’s Group before Closing pursuant to and in compliance with this Agreement or any Local Transfer Document or otherwise at the request in writing of the Purchaser or any action taken or not taken by the Seller, any member of the Seller’s Group or any Flu Group Company as a result of the Purchaser not approving any other action or omission which the Seller, any member of the Seller’s Group or any Flu Group Company proposed to take under Clause 5.1.2;

The Seller shall not be liable in respect of any claim for breach of any Seller’s Warranty to the extent that the Purchaser was actually aware on or before the date of this Agreement of the facts, matters or circumstances giving rise to the relevant claim. For these purposes the Purchaser’s awareness shall mean the actual knowledge of: [***]; [***]; [***]; [***]; [***]; [***]; [***]; [***]; [***], [***] and [***].

10.12.2 Post-Signing Knowledge

The parties agree that no knowledge of the Purchaser or any of its directors, officers and employees (whether actual, constructive or imputed), to the extent arising following the date of this Agreement, shall in any way serve to reduce or extinguish any liability of the Seller or any of its Affiliates for any breach of a Seller’s Warranty when repeated at Closing.

Nothing in this Agreement shall prejudice the Purchaser’s duty under common law to mitigate any Loss which is or could be the subject of a claim under this Agreement.

10.14 Purchaser’s Right to Recover

If the Seller has paid an amount in discharge of any claim under this Agreement for breach of any Seller’s Warranty and subsequently the Purchaser recovers (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief, insurance or otherwise) from a third party a sum which indemnifies or compensates the Purchaser (in whole or in part) in respect of the loss or liability which is the subject matter of the claim, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller as soon as practicable after receipt an amount equal to: (i) the sum recovered from the third party less any costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery and any Tax on any amounts recovered (or Tax that would have been payable on such amounts but for the availability of any Tax relief), or if less, (ii) the amount previously paid by the Seller to the Purchaser.

A party shall be entitled to make more than one claim under this Agreement arising out of the same subject matter, fact, event or circumstance but shall not be entitled to recover under this Agreement or any Local Transfer Document or the Tax Indemnity or otherwise more than once in respect of the same Losses suffered or amount for which the party is otherwise entitled to claim (or part of such Losses or amount), regardless of whether more than one claim arises in respect of it. No amount (including any relief) (or part of any amount) shall be taken into account, set off or credited more than once under this Agreement or any Local Transfer Document or the Tax Indemnity or otherwise, with the intent that there will be no double counting under this Agreement or any Local Transfer Document and the Tax Indemnity or otherwise.

10.16 Fraud

None of the limitations contained in this Clause 10 shall apply to any claim to the extent that such claim which arises or is increased, or to the extent to which it arises or is increased, as the consequence of, or which is delayed as a result of, fraud by any director or officer of any member of the Seller’s Group.

Without prejudice to the obligations of the Purchaser under Clause 11.2, if the Purchaser becomes aware of any fact, matter or circumstance that may give rise to a claim against the Seller under this Agreement or any Local Transfer Document for breach of any Seller’s Warranty other than a Tax Warranty (ignoring for these purposes the application of Clause 11.2 or 11.3), the Purchaser shall as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event within 30 days) give a notice in writing to the Seller of such facts, matters or circumstances as are then available regarding the potential claim. The Purchaser shall not be entitled to make the relevant claim under this Agreement or any Local Transfer Document for breach of any Seller’s Warranty (other than a Tax Warranty) if:

11.3 Commencement of Proceedings

Any claim notified pursuant to Clause 11.2 shall (if it has not been previously satisfied, settled or withdrawn) be deemed to be irrevocably withdrawn 6 months after the relevant time limit set out in Clause 10.2 unless, at the relevant time, legal proceedings in respect of the relevant claim have been commenced by being both issued and served except:

11.3.1 where the claim relates to a contingent liability, in which case it shall be deemed to have been withdrawn unless legal proceedings in respect of it have been commenced by being both issued and served with 6 months of it having become an actual liability; or

11.3.2 where the claim is a claim for breach of a Seller’s Warranty of which notice is given for the purposes of Clause 10.2 at a time when the amount set out in Clause 10.4.2 has not been exceeded, in which case it shall be deemed to have been withdrawn unless legal proceedings in respect of it have been commenced by being both issued and served within 6 months of the date of any subsequent notification to the Seller pursuant to Clause 11.1 of one or more claims which result(s) in the total amount claimed in all claims notified to the Seller pursuant to Clause 10.2 exceeding the amount set out in Clause 10.4.2 for the first time.

11.4 Conduct of Third Party Claims

If the matter or circumstance that may give rise to a claim against the Seller under this Agreement or any Local Transfer Document for breach of any Seller’s Warranty (other than a Tax Warranty) is a result of or in connection with a claim by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) then:

11.4.5 if the Seller sends a notice to the Purchaser pursuant to Clause 11.4.4:

(i) the Purchaser shall, and the Purchaser shall procure that any other member of the Purchaser’s Group shall give, subject to their being paid all reasonable costs and expenses, all such information and assistance including access to premises and personnel, and the right to examine and copy or photograph any assets, accounts, documents and records, as the Seller may reasonably request, including instructing such professional or legal advisers as the Seller may nominate to act on behalf of the Purchaser or other member of the Purchaser’s Group concerned but in accordance with the Seller’s instructions; and

1.2.2 the offer to be made will be on the same terms and conditions (including as to period of continuous employment) as were provided to that person immediately prior to the Closing Date;

1.2.3 after the expiry of the ten Business Days referred to at paragraph 1.2.1 above (whether or not an offer of employment is made) the Purchaser or relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group may terminate the employment of such person and the Seller shall be responsible for and shall indemnify and keep indemnified the Purchaser (for itself and as trustee for any relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group) against all Losses made, suffered or incurred by the Purchaser (or any other member of the Purchaser’s Group) as a result of:

(i) the actual or alleged transfer to a member of the Purchaser’s Group and (regardless of whether there has been such a transfer) any employment liabilities relating to such person;

(ii) employing such person on and from the Closing Date until such termination (up to the time reasonably expected to have achieved such termination in accordance with the terms of the contract of employment and applicable Law) but subject to a maximum period of 6 months unless prevented by the terms of the contract of employment or Applicable Law; and

(iii) such termination; and

1.2.4 the parties agree to co-operate in good faith to minimise the Losses which are subject to the indemnity referred to in paragraph 1.2.3 above.

1.3 The parties acknowledge and agree that:

1.3.1 any Deferred Employee shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as if such Deferred Employee were a Flu Business Employee or a Flu Group Company Employee (as appropriate); and

1.3.2 the Purchaser’s obligations under this Schedule 9 shall apply in respect of each Deferred Employee in the same way as they do to each Flu Business Employee or Flu Group Company Employee (as appropriate); and

1.3.3 if any Deferred Employee accepts an offer of employment made by the Purchaser under paragraph 1.1.2 above or becomes an employee of a Flu Group Company after the Closing Date, such Deferred Employee shall further be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as a Transferred Employee.

1.4 Where any Flu Business Employee accepts such an offer of employment (pursuant to paragraph 1.1 above), the Seller will procure that the Relevant Employer will release such employee from its employment with effect from the Closing Date.

1.5 The Purchaser shall (for itself and for each member of the Purchaser’s Group) be responsible for and shall indemnify and keep indemnified the Seller (for itself and on behalf of each member of the Seller’s Group) from any and all Losses and claims of any kind:

1.5.1 arising out of the employment, or termination of employment, whether actual or constructive, of any Transferred Employee following the Effective Time, save to the extent that such Losses arise from the Seller’s, or a member of the Seller’s Group’s, acts or omissions (or alleged acts or omissions), including, but not limited

102

to, all claims relating to severance, termination pay, pay in lieu of notice of termination and similar obligations;

1.5.2 which are attributable to any act or omission (or alleged act or omission) by the Purchaser or any member of the Purchaser’s Group in relation to any of the Flu Business Employees, Flu Group Company Employees or Transferred Employees relating to any failure by the Purchaser or any member of the Purchaser’s Group to comply with obligations under Applicable Law to provide information to the relevant members of the Seller’s Group in order to allow them to comply with their information and consultation obligations; and/or

1.5.3 arising from any finding or allegation that the terms and conditions of employment provided or to be provided by the Purchaser or a member of the Purchaser’s Group to any Flu Business Employee would constitute a repudiatory breach of his contract.

1.6 The Seller shall (for itself and on behalf of each member of the Seller’s Group) be responsible for and shall indemnify and keep indemnified the Purchaser (for itself and on behalf of each member of the Purchaser’s Group) from any and all Losses and claims of any kind:

1.6.1 arising out of the employment of any Employee at any time prior to the Effective Time (excluding any transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities (as defined in Schedule 10) which the Purchaser agrees to assume in accordance with Schedule 10), save to the extent that such Losses arise from the Purchaser’s, or a member of the Purchaser’s Group’s, acts or omissions (or alleged acts or omissions);

1.6.2 subject to paragraph 1.5.3 above, arising out of any termination of employment, whether actual or constructive, of any Employee prior to the Effective Time including, but not limited to, all claims relating to severance, termination pay, pay in lieu of notice of termination and similar obligations;

1.6.3 which are attributable to any act or omission (or alleged act or omission) by the Seller or any member of the Seller’s Group in relation to any of the Flu Business Employees, Flu Group Company Employees or Transferred Flu Business Employees relating to any failure by the Seller or any member of the Seller’s Group to comply with its obligations (under Applicable Law, trade union agreement or otherwise) to inform and consult (other than as a result of any failure by the Purchaser or any member of the Purchaser’s Group to comply with its obligations under Applicable Law to provide information and assistance to the Seller to enable such compliance); and/or

1.6.4 the employment or termination of employment by the Seller or any member of the Seller’s Group of any person who is an Excluded Employee at any time.

4 Benefits arrangements/service continuity

4.1 Each Transferred Employee shall have their service with the Seller’s Group and their respective predecessors recognised under any employee benefit plans or arrangements of the Purchaser’s Group for all purposes of eligibility, vesting and accrual of benefits to the extent past service was recognised for such Transferred Employees under a comparable benefit plan immediately prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph 4.1 shall be construed to require recognition of service for the purposes of calculation of benefits or that would result in:

4.1.1 duplication of benefit;

4.1.2 recognition of service for any purposes under any plans for which participation, service and/or benefits accrual is frozen or any post-retirement medical plan; or

4.1.3 recognition of service under a newly established plan for which prior service is not taken into account for employees of the Purchaser’s Group generally.

Without limiting the foregoing, with respect to the Transferred Employees, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause such other member of the Purchaser’s Group to, be responsible for all paid time off benefits, including vacation pay, sick pay, banked leave, flexitime and other payments for time off of normal work hours accrued by the Transferred Employees up to the Closing Date.

4.2 With respect to any welfare plan maintained by the Purchaser or any other member of the Purchaser’s Group in which Transferred Employees are eligible to participate after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall:

4.2.1 waive all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, exclusions, evidence of insurability provisions, waiting periods with respect to such participation and coverage requirements or similar provisions under a Purchaser’s benefit plans that are welfare plans (as defined in section 3(1) of ERISA or any equivalent Applicable

104

Law) applicable to such employees to the extent such conditions, exclusions and waiting periods or other provisions were satisfied or did not apply to such employees under welfare plans maintained by the Seller or other members of the Seller’s Group prior to the Closing Date; and

4.2.2 provide each Transferred Employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to the Closing Date in satisfying any analogous deductible or out-of-pocket requirements to the extent applicable under any such plan in the year in which Closing occurs, to the extent credited under the welfare plans maintained by the Seller or other members of the Seller’s Group prior to the Closing Date.

5 US Transferred Employees

5.1 The Purchaser will maintain or, if they do not exist, establish a health care and dependent care flexible spending account arrangement pursuant to section 125 or 129 of the Code (collectively, “FSAs”). The Purchaser will honour the elections of all Transferred Employees who are employed in the United States and/or covered by US Benefit Plans (“US Transferred Employees”) under the FSAs of any relevant member of the Seller’s Group (“Relevant Employer’s FSAs”), as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, and the Purchaser will assume responsibility for administering all reimbursement claims of US Transferred Employees with respect to the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs that are submitted for payment on or after the Closing Date, whether arising before, on or after the Closing Date, under the Purchaser’s FSAs. As soon as practicable but no more than 45 days following the Closing Date, the Seller will cause to be transferred to the Purchaser an amount in cash equal to (i) the sum of all contributions to the Relevant Employer’s FSAs with respect to the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs by or on behalf of the US Transferred Employees prior to the Closing Date, reduced by (ii) the sum of all claims incurred in the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs that are submitted to the Relevant Employer for payment prior to the Closing Date and paid by the Relevant Employer’s FSAs with respect to such US Transferred Employees prior to the date of such cash transfer to the Purchaser; provided, however, if this calculation results in a negative amount, then the Purchaser will pay to the Seller (on behalf of the Relevant Employer) as soon as practicable but not more than 45 days following the Closing Date, the amount by which (ii) exceeds (i).

5.2 The US Transferred Employees shall, as of the Closing Date, become eligible to participate in a US tax-qualified defined contribution plan sponsored by the Purchaser or another member of the Purchaser’s Group. The Purchaser agrees that such plan will accept rollovers of the account balances of US Transferred Employees (including participant loan promissory notes) from the Relevant Employer’s tax-qualified retirement plans, provided that the Seller makes available to the Purchaser at the Purchaser’s request a copy of the relevant IRS determination letter.

5.3 With effect on and from the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall, or shall procure that such other members of the Purchaser’s Group shall, assume the responsibility and obligation to provide COBRA continuation coverage to all M&A Qualified Beneficiaries. “M&A Qualified Beneficiary” means an individual whose COBRA qualifying event occurred prior to or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and who is, or whose COBRA qualifying event occurred in connection with, a covered employee whose last employment prior to the COBRA qualifying event was in connection with the Business with a Relevant Employer.

105

6 Consultation

The Seller and the relevant member of the Seller’s Group (as the case may be) shall comply with its obligations under the Transfer Regulations and any other relevant information negotiation and/ or consultation process or requirements in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The parties shall, and shall cause such other relevant members of the Seller’s Group or the Purchaser’s Group (as the case may be) to, provide the other with such information and assistance at such times as the parties may reasonably request or as may be reasonably necessary for them or any other relevant member of the Seller’s Group or the Purchaser’s Group (as the case may be) to comply with any requirements to consult with any affected employees, the Novartis Eurofourm, a relevant trade union or any other employee representatives, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser shall, and shall cause such other relevant members of the Purchaser’s Group to, at the reasonable request of the Seller, cooperate with and participate in any information, negotiation and/or consultation process which the Seller or such other member of the Seller’s Group undertakes with employees or their representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

7 International Assignees

Where Applicable Law does not provide for the automatic transfer of employment of any International Assignee and/or the other terms governing their international assignment, the Purchaser shall assume and agree to be bound by the individual contract of employment and such other terms governing their international assignment including any tax equalisation agreement entered into between an International Assignee and a member of the Seller’s Group provided that such employee becomes a Transferred Employee.

8 Liability for retention arrangements

8.1 [***]

8.2 The provisions of paragraph 9 below shall not apply to the share-based retention awards made pursuant to this paragraph, which will vest in accordance with their terms.

9 Share incentive plans

9.1 This paragraph 9 applies notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, except paragraph 8 above.

9.2 Share-based awards held by Transferred Employees pursuant to a share-based incentive scheme operated by the Seller or another member of the Seller’s Group (“Relevant Awards”) shall be treated in accordance with the rules of the relevant share based incentive scheme and, where possible shall be afforded ‘good leaver treatment’. Where Relevant Awards are subject to performance (or other) conditions and it is not possible to determine whether or not such conditions have been met at the applicable early vesting date (or within a reasonable period thereafter), the Seller and Purchaser agree that performance shall be deemed “on target”.

Without limitation:

106

(a) where necessary and subject to (b), the Seller shall rely on and procure the exercise of existing discretions in the relevant plan rules to afford the “good leaver treatment”; and

(b) the Seller (or relevant member of the Seller’s Group) shall not take any action which would require shareholder approval or which could trigger any significant legal, Tax or operational issues for the relevant Transferred Employee (including the loss of any Tax-favourable treatment), the Seller’s Group or the Purchaser’s Group.

For the purposes of this paragraph 9.2, and subject to the rules of the relevant share based incentive scheme the “good leaver treatment” shall be that:

(c) Relevant Awards shall not lapse or be forfeited as a result of Closing except to the extent that they do not vest in accordance with (d) and/or (e) below;

(d) Relevant Awards shall vest early as a result of Closing and shall (subject to (f) below) be time pro-rated to take account of the reduced period of time, as a proportion of the original vesting period, that the relevant Transferred Employee worked within the Seller’s Group (calculated on the basis of the number of years of service as at the Closing Date, where part years of service are rounded up to the next whole year of service);

(e) Relevant Awards that vest after the Closing Date shall remain subject to any relevant performance (or other) conditions, adjusted as necessary to take account of Closing and measured up to the applicable early vesting date; and

(f) The Seller shall procure that any restricted shares or restricted stock units (or any part of an award of restricted shares or restricted stock units) granted under the Employee Share Ownership Plan, Restricted Stock Plans for Switzerland, the Restricted Stock Plan for the Rest of the World or the 2007 Restricted Stock Unit Plan, shall not lapse or be forfeited on Closing and will vest on the Closing Date.

The Seller retains the discretion to provide more favourable treatment for Relevant Awards in accordance with the rules of the relevant share based incentive scheme and, in particular but without limiting this general discretion, for the purposes of this paragraph 9.2, “on target” performance may be construed as permitting share-based awards to vest in full.

9.3 The Seller agrees to indemnify the Purchaser (or relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group) for any Liabilities borne by the Purchaser’s Group in connection with the Relevant Awards and any payments made by the Seller in accordance with paragraph 9.9, including any Tax (which, for the avoidance of doubt and without limitation to the definition of Tax, in this paragraph 9 includes any UK secondary Class 1 National Insurance contributions, US FICA and any other amounts of employer and employee social security contributions arising in any jurisdiction, any income tax and any state, cantonal or other local taxes in any jurisdiction). The Purchaser agrees to use its best endeavours to obtain and utilise any applicable Tax relief in respect of the Relevant Awards as soon as reasonably practicable and pay (or procure payment) to the Seller of an amount equal to any reduction in the Tax Liabilities of the Purchaser’s Group arising as a result of or by reference to such Tax relief by way of adjustment to the Purchase Price, provided always that the Seller provides the Purchaser with any information that the Purchaser may reasonably request in this respect in a timely manner.

107

9.4 The Seller undertakes to inform the Purchaser of the vesting or exercise (as applicable) of the Relevant Awards (or cash payments made by the Seller in accordance with paragraph 9.9) and to provide, in a timely manner, details of the Relevant Awards that so vest or are exercised (or cash payments made) so that the Purchaser’s Group can make any applicable withholdings for Tax and pay any Tax for which the Purchaser’s Group is liable in respect of the Relevant Awards to the relevant Tax Authority within any applicable timescale.

9.5 To the extent permitted under the relevant plan rules and any Applicable Law, the Seller undertakes to sell such number of the shares underlying the Relevant Awards as may be necessary for the sale proceeds to satisfy any applicable Tax required to be withheld or accounted for by the Purchaser’s Group and to pay such amounts to the Purchaser in sufficient time for the Purchaser to pay such Tax to the relevant Tax Authority within any applicable timescale, provided always that the Purchaser provides the Seller with any information that the Seller may reasonably request in this respect in a timely manner.

9.6 The Seller undertakes to complete all relevant filings, tax reporting obligations and notifications in relation to Relevant Awards in all relevant jurisdictions.

9.7 This paragraph shall apply where restricted stock units granted under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan for North American Employees lapse or are forfeited (or will lapse or be forfeited) either in whole or in part as a result of Closing (“RSU Awards”). As soon as practicable following Closing (and, in any event, by the later of 30 days from the Closing Date and 30 days from the first date after the Closing Date when the granting of share-based awards is not prevented by dealing restrictions, subject in both cases to the relevant plan rules and any Applicable Law), the Purchaser (or member of the Purchaser’s Group) shall grant each relevant Transferred Employee a share-based award referable to shares in the capital of the Purchaser substantially equal in value (valued as at the grant date) to the value of the portion of their RSU Awards which lapsed or was forfeited (or will lapse or be forfeited) as a result of Closing (valued as at the Closing Date), where relevant, disregarding any loss (or expected loss) of Tax-favourable treatment (each a “Compensation Award”). Such Compensation Awards shall be granted pursuant to the rules of whichever incentive plan operated by the Purchaser’s Group at the time of grant the Purchaser considers most closely aligned to the share-based incentive plan operated by the Seller’s Group (which may, for the avoidance of doubt, include a plan which may or must be settled in cash) pursuant to which the related RSU Award had been granted but will vest according to a vesting schedule substantially similar to the vesting schedule that would have otherwise applied to the related RSU Award if Closing had not occurred.

For the purposes of this paragraph 9.7:

(a) the portion of a RSU Award which lapsed or was forfeited (or will lapse or be forfeited) as a result of Closing shall be valued on the basis of the average price of an ordinary share in the capital of the Seller over the five trading days immediately prior to Closing;

(b) the value of a Compensation Award to be granted shall be valued on the basis of the average price of an ordinary share in the capital of the Purchaser over the five trading days immediately prior to the date of grant; and

108

9.8 To the extent that any payment to a Transferred Employee (whether by the Seller’s Group or by the Purchaser’s Group) would trigger Liabilities to Tax under section 280G of the United States Internal Revenue Code (“Section 280G”), the relevant Transferred Employee shall be allowed to choose whether to accept the full payment (and pay any relevant Section 280G Tax) or to receive such lower payment as may be necessary in order to fall below the Section 280G threshold for Tax. To the extent that any similar Tax would arise pursuant to any Applicable Law in another jurisdiction, this paragraph 9.8 shall apply mutatis mutandis.

9.9 This paragraph shall apply where: (i) a Transferred Employee would, in the ordinary course of business, have been granted a share-based award pursuant to a share-based incentive scheme operated by the Seller or another member of the Seller’s Group on the basis of performance criteria linked to the Seller’s Group’s 2015 financial year (which may, for the avoidance of doubt, be business and/or individual performance criteria and assessment) (each a “2015 Performance Award”); and (ii) Closing occurs prior to the grant of such 2015 Performance Award. As soon as practicable following Closing (and, in any event, by the later of 30 days from the Closing Date and 30 days from the date when the value of each 2015 Performance Award has been determined), the Seller shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the value of each 2015 Performance Award and under which share-based incentive plan operated by the Seller’s Group the related 2015 Performance Award would have been granted. As soon as practicable following the receipt of such notice (and, in any event, by the later of 30 days from the receipt of such notice and 30 days from the first date following the receipt of such notice when the granting of share-based awards is not prevented by dealing restrictions, subject in both cases to the relevant plan rules and any Applicable Law), the Purchaser (or member of the Purchaser’s Group) shall grant each relevant Transferred Employee a share-based award referable to shares in the capital of the Purchaser substantially equal in value (valued as at the date of grant) to two-thirds of the value of the 2015 Performance Award which would have been granted but for the occurrence of Closing (“2016 Grant Award”). Such 2016 Grant Awards shall be granted pursuant to the rules of whichever share-based incentive plan operated by the Purchaser’s Group (which may, for the avoidance of doubt, include a plan which may or must be settled in cash) at the time of grant the Purchaser considers most closely aligned to the share-based incentive plan operated by the Seller’s Group pursuant to which the related 2015 Performance Award would have been granted.

The Seller shall pay, in cash, the remaining one-third of the value of the 2015 Performance Award which would have been granted but for the occurrence of Closing to each relevant Transferred Employee on, or as soon as practicable following, Closing.

The grant of a 2016 Grant Award to a Transferred Employee shall be taken into account by the Purchaser when determining the extent to which that Transferred Employee shall participate in incentive arrangements (other than any Compensation Award) operated by the Purchaser’s Group following Closing.

For the purposes of this paragraph 9.9:

(a) the value of a 2015 Performance Award to be granted shall: (i) be determined by the Seller acting reasonably and in good faith; (ii) be consistent with past practice and with the level of similar awards granted to employees remaining in service within the Seller’s Group; (iii) take into account the relevant business and/or individual performance criteria linked to the Seller’s Group’s 2015 financial year, and (iv) if Closing occurs before 31 December 2015, be time pro-rated to take

109

account of the reduced period of time, as a proportion of the Seller’s Group’s 2015 financial year, that the relevant Transferred Employee worked within the Seller’s Group (calculated on the basis of the number of complete months of service as at the Closing Date);

(b) the number of shares by reference to which a 2016 Grant Award is granted shall be valued on the basis of the average price of an ordinary share in the capital of the Purchaser over the five trading days immediately prior to the date of grant; and

9.10 Costs in relation to satisfying the Compensation Awards and the 2016 Grant Awards shall be shared equally between the Seller and Purchaser, provided that the Purchaser shall bear costs in relation to satisfying the Compensation Awards and the 2016 Grant Awards only to the extent that the aggregate costs of satisfying the Compensation Awards and the 2016 Grant Awards do not exceed a maximum value of US$5m. In the event that the costs of satisfying the Compensation Awards and 2016 Grant Awards exceed US$10m (as shared between the Purchaser and Seller equally), any costs in respect of satisfying the Compensation Awards and/or the 2016 Grant Awards in excess of US$10m shall be at the cost of the Seller only. In the event that Compensation Awards and/or 2016 Grant Awards are satisfied in cash, for the purposes of this paragraph 9.10 the costs involved in that satisfaction shall be equal to the gross cash payments made in satisfaction of those awards. In the event that Compensation Awards and/or 2016 Grant Awards are satisfied in shares, the Seller and Purchaser shall use their reasonable endeavours to agree the quantum of the costs of satisfaction.

Schedule 10
Group Retirement Benefit Arrangements
(Clause 2.4.2)

In this Schedule 10:

“Employee Benefits” means benefits to or in respect of any current or former employee, including without limitation, any pension, early retirement, disability, death benefit, long service awards, termination indemnity or post-retirement medical benefits or deferred compensation linked to retirement, disability or death benefits or old age part-time benefits and jubilee payments; and

“Employee Benefit Liabilities” means liabilities and obligations (whether funded or unfunded) in respect of any employee benefit promise, scheme, plan, fund, program, policy, practice or other individual or collective arrangement providing Employee Benefits.

1 Except to the extent otherwise agreed by the Seller and the Purchaser before Closing, Employee Benefit Liabilities in respect of the Flu Group shall transfer to the Purchaser or the relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group.

2 Where Employee Benefit Liabilities transfer to or remain with the Purchaser and/or its Affiliates (which for the avoidance of doubt in the period from Closing includes any Flu Group Company) (such Employee Benefit Liabilities being the “Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities”), the Purchaser shall, or shall procure that its relevant Affiliate shall, assume, with a full discharge for Seller and its Affiliates, the Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities.

3 Without limiting the provisions of paragraph 1 above, the Purchaser agrees and acknowledges the pension liabilities in respect of the Flu Group (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in Germany, Italy, India, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the USA) other than the Pension Scheme will transfer to the Purchaser.

4 Without limiting the provisions of paragraph 1 above, the Purchaser agrees and acknowledges the post-retirement medical healthcare plan to which it admits US Transferred Employees who immediately before Closing were members of such a plan will take account of periods of employment with the Seller’s Group to the extent previously recognised under the equivalent Seller’s Group plan for the purposes of determining eligibility, contributions, and vesting; provided, however, that, unless otherwise agreed between the Seller and the Purchaser, the Seller shall retain liability for post-retirement medical liabilities for employees who became eligible for such benefits under the Seller’s plans prior to the Closing Date and the Seller shall retain liability or unfunded non-qualified deferred compensation liabilities accrued through the date of Closing. If the Seller requests, the Purchaser shall enter into discussions to discuss a transfer of these liabilities in good faith.

5 The Purchaser shall admit Transferred Employees in the United States who were not eligible for post-retirement benefits under the Seller’s plans as of the Closing Date to participation in a Purchaser post-retirement medical plan as of the Closing Date. Periods of employment with the Seller’s Group (including, without limitation, any current or former Affiliate of the Seller, to the extent previously recognised under the applicable benefit plan arrangement provided by the Seller’s Group), shall be taken into account for such employees or the purposes of determining, as applicable, the eligibility for participation, contributions, and vesting for any employee under such post-retirement medical plan.

111

6 Notwithstanding any general provision to the contrary in Schedule 9, the US Transferred Employees shall, as of the Closing Date, become eligible to participate in a US tax-qualified defined contribution plan to the extent such plan is sponsored by the Purchaser or a relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group. The Purchaser will use all reasonable efforts to cause such plan to accept rollovers of the account balances of the US Transferred Employees (including participant loan promissory notes) from the relevant employer’s tax-qualified retirement plans provided that the Seller provides reasonable evidence of the Relevant Employer’s tax qualified retirement plans compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.

7 The Seller and Purchaser agree that the Pension Scheme will be retained by the Seller at Closing. The Seller will procure that, before, on, or immediately after, the Closing Date, Novartis Vaccines Holdings Limited and its Subsidiary will cease to participate in the Pension Scheme and will have no further liability to contribute to the Pension Scheme.

8 The Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser against any Liabilities that are incurred in relation to the imposition of a debt on the Flu Group Companies under Section 75 or 75A of the Pensions Act 1995 or otherwise in respect of the Pension Scheme.

9 Indemnity for underfunded transferred pension liabilities

9.1 To the extent liability to fund a pension arrangement transfers to the Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of this Schedule 10, and the relevant arrangement is underfunded (calculated using the methods and assumptions used by the relevant member of the Seller’s Group for IFRS accounting purposes at Closing) at Closing, the Seller will indemnify the Purchaser, by way of a reduction in the Purchase Price attributable to the relevant Shares or the particular part of the Flu Group to which the payment relates.

9.2 The provisions of paragraph 9.1 of this Schedule 10 shall apply In relation to Switzerland with the following modifications:

9.2.1 the methods and assumptions used in the calculation will be modified by:

(i) replacing any assumed “cash balance” annuity conversion rate with a conversion rate representing a reasonable estimate of the likely effective overall blended conversion rate which will apply, having regard to the changes to the rate which can reasonably be expected to occur during the expected service lives of the relevant individuals, and weighting the impact of those changes by reference to the ages of the relevant employees (and so the extent to which the changes will in fact operate to reduce the effective liability on the Purchaser); and

(ii) removing any reserve for death or disability benefits to the extent that it constitutes a reserve for liabilities in respect of the relevant individuals which could reasonably be externally insured by the Purchaser; and

9.2.2 the calculation of any underfunding shall, if partial liquidation occurs in relation to any of the Swiss pension liabilities before the period ending 12 months after Closing, make allowance for the assets thereby transferred.

112

Schedule 12
VAT
(Clause 3.4)

1 VAT: Records

1.1 The Seller may, on or before the date of Closing, obtain a direction from the relevant Tax Authority for the retention and preservation by it of any VAT records relating to its period of ownership of the relevant part of the Flu Group and, where any such direction is obtained, the Seller shall:

1.1.1 preserve the records to which that direction relates in such a manner and for such period as may be required by the direction or by Applicable Law; and

1.1.2 allow the Purchaser, upon the Purchaser giving reasonable notice, reasonable access to and copies of such records where reasonably required by the Purchaser for its Tax purposes.

1.2 If no such direction as is referred to in paragraph 1.1 above is obtained or before the date of Closing and any documents in the possession or control of a member of the Seller’s Group are required by law to be preserved by the Purchaser, the Seller shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after Closing, deliver such documents to the Purchaser.

114

(Clause 7)

Part 1

Preparation of Closing Statement

1 Preparation

1.1 No later than 60 days following Closing, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser the Draft Closing Statement. Prior to such delivery, the Seller shall so far as is practicable consult with the Purchaser with a view to reducing the potential areas of disagreement.

1.2 In order to enable the Seller to prepare the Draft Closing Statement, the Purchaser shall keep up-to-date and, subject to reasonable notice, make available to the Seller’s representatives and to the Seller’s accountants all books and records relating to the Flu Group during normal office hours and co-operate with them with regard to the preparation, review and agreement or determination of the Draft Closing Statement. The Purchaser agrees to make available the services of the employees of the Flu Group to assist the Seller in the preparation, review and agreement or determination of the Draft Closing Statement. In order to allow the Purchaser to review the Draft Closing Statement, the Seller shall, subject to reasonable notice, make available to the Purchaser’s representatives and to the Purchaser’s accountants all books and records relating to the Flu Group during normal office hours and co-operate with them with regard to their review of the Draft Closing Statement.

1.3 If the Purchaser does not within 60 days of presentation to it of the Draft Closing Statement give notice to the Seller that it disagrees with the Draft Closing Statement or any item thereof, such notice stating the reasons for the disagreement in reasonable detail and specifying the adjustments which, in the Purchaser’s opinion should be made to the Draft Closing Statement (the “Purchaser’s Disagreement Notice”), the Draft Closing Statement shall be final and binding on the parties for all purposes. If the Purchaser gives a valid Purchaser’s Disagreement Notice within such 60 days, the Seller and the Purchaser shall attempt in good faith to reach agreement in respect of the Draft Closing Statement and, if they are unable to do so within 30 days of such notification, the Seller or the Purchaser may by notice to the other require that the Draft Closing Statement be referred to the Reporting Accountants (an “Appointment Notice”).

1.4 Within 30 days of the giving of an Appointment Notice, the Seller may by notice to the Purchaser indicate that, in the light of the fact that the Purchaser has not accepted the Draft Closing Statement in its entirety, it wishes the Reporting Accountants to consider matters relating to the Draft Closing Statement in addition to those specified in the Purchaser’s Disagreement Notice, provided that such matters as are related to the matters specified in the Purchaser’s Disagreement Notice and that the notice states in reasonable detail the reasons why and in what respects the Seller believes that the Draft Closing Statement should be altered in respect of such matters (the “Seller’s Disagreement Notice”).

If the terms of engagement of the Reporting Accountants have not been settled within 45 days of their identity having been determined (or such longer period as the Seller and the Purchaser may agree) then, unless the Seller or the Purchaser is unreasonably refusing its agreement to those terms, those accountants shall be deemed never to have become the Reporting Accountants and new Reporting Accountants shall be selected in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(iii) permit each party to be present while oral submissions are being made by the other party; and

(iv) for the avoidance of doubt, the Reporting Accountants shall not be entitled to determine the scope of their own jurisdiction.

1.7 The Reporting Accountants shall send the Seller and the Purchaser a copy of their determination pursuant to paragraph 1.6.1 within one month of their appointment. Such determination:

1.7.1 shall be made available to the Seller and the Purchaser in writing; and

1.8 The Reporting Accountants shall act as experts and not as arbitrators and their determination of any matter falling within their jurisdiction shall be final and binding on the Seller and the Purchaser save in the event of manifest error (when the relevant part of their

118

determination shall be void and the matter shall be remitted to the Reporting Accountants for correction). In particular, their determination shall be deemed to be incorporated into the Draft Closing Statement.

1.9 The expenses (including amounts in respect of VAT) of the Reporting Accountants shall be borne as they shall direct at the time they make any determination under paragraph 1.6.1(i) or, failing such direction, equally between the Purchaser and the Seller.

1.10 The Seller and the Purchaser shall co-operate with the Reporting Accountants and comply with their reasonable requests made in connection with the carrying out of their duties under this Agreement. In particular, the Purchaser shall keep up-to-date and, subject to reasonable notice, make available to the Seller’s representatives, the Seller’s accountants and the Reporting Accountants all books and records relating to the Flu Group during normal office hours as the Seller or the Reporting Accountants may reasonably request during the period from the appointment of the Reporting Accountants down to the making of the relevant determination.
