(iii) In addition, where any such claim or investigation involves a Governmental Entity, the Purchaser shall, subject to Applicable Law, the requirements of the Relevant Governmental Entity and the Seller providing an appropriate confidentiality undertaking in favour of the Purchaser’s Group, provide to the Seller, at least five Business Days in advance (or, where not possible, as soon as reasonably possible), any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals they or their agents make or submit to a Governmental Entity. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties agree, subject to the Applicable Law, and the requirements of the relevant Governmental Entity, and the Seller providing an appropriate confidentiality undertaking in favour of the Purchaser’s Group, to:

(a) give the Seller reasonable advance notice of all meetings with any Governmental Entity;

(g) not advance arguments with the Governmental Entity without prior agreement of the Seller that would reasonably be likely to have a significant adverse impact on the Seller, provided however, that the Purchaser shall not be required to comply with paragraph (b) above to the extent that the Governmental Entity objects to the participation of a party, or with paragraph (e) or (f) above to the extent that such disclosure may raise regulatory concerns (in which case, the disclosure may be made on an outside counsel basis).

(iv) Other than in respect of any claim to the extent it relates to an IP Liability, a Commercial Practices Liability or a Governmental Liability (other than in

respect of any Liability arising solely by virtue of a breach of any Contract with any Governmental Entity which breach does not also constitute a breach of Applicable Law), the Seller shall be entitled at its own expense and in its absolute discretion, by notice in writing to the Purchaser, to take such action as it shall deem necessary to avoid, dispute, deny, defend, resist, appeal, compromise or contest any such claim (including making counterclaims or other claims against third parties) in the name of and on behalf of the Purchaser or other member of the Purchaser’s Group concerned and to have the conduct of any related proceedings, negotiations or appeals.

(vi) The Purchaser shall, and shall procure that each other member of the Purchaser’s Group shall, on reasonable notice from the Seller, give such assistance to the Seller as it may reasonably require in relation to the claim including providing the Seller or any member of the Seller’s Group and its representative and advisers with access to and assistance from directors, officers, managers, employees, advisers, agents or consultants of the Purchaser and/or of each other member of the Purchaser’s Group (collectively, the “Relevant Persons”) and the Purchaser will use its reasonable endeavours to procure that such Relevant Persons comply with any reasonable requests from the Seller and generally co-operates with and assists the Seller and other members of the Seller’s Group.

(vii) When seeking assistance under Clauses 8.2.2(v) and (vi), the Seller, or any other relevant member of the Seller’s Group, shall use reasonable endeavours to minimise interference with the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s Group’s conduct of the relevant business or the performance by the Relevant Persons of their employment duties.

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.

Without prejudice to the obligations of the Purchaser under Clause 12.2, 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 12.2 or 12.3), the Purchaser shall as soon as reasonably practicable give a notice in writing to the Seller of such facts, matters or circumstances as are then available regarding the potential claim. Failure to give notice within such period shall not affect the rights of the Purchaser to make a relevant claim under this Agreement or any Local Transfer Document for breach of any Seller’s Warranty, except that the failure shall be taken into account in determining the liability of the Seller for such claim to the extent the Seller establishes that the amount of it is increased, or is not reduced, as a result of such failure.

12.3.1 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 9 months of it having become an actual liability; or

12.3.2 where the claim is a claim for breach of a Seller’s Warranty of which notice is given for the purposes of Clause 11.2 at a time when the amount set out in Clause 11.4.2 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 9 months of the date of any subsequent notification to the Seller pursuant to Clause 12.1 of one or more claims which result(s) in the total amount claimed in all claims notified to the Seller pursuant to Clause 11.2 exceeding the amount set out in Clause 11.4.2 for the first time.

provided that failure to give notice in accordance with Clause 12.4.1(i) shall not affect the rights of the Purchaser to make a relevant claim under this Agreement for breach of any Seller’s Warranty, except that the failure shall be taken into account in determining the liability of the Seller for such claim to the extent the Seller establishes that the amount of it is increased, or is not reduced, as a result of such failure.

12.4.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of this Clause 12.4, if a Third Party Claim may give rise to a claim against the Seller under Clause 8.1.2, the conduct of any such Third Party Claim shall be dealt with pursuant to Clause 8.2.2 and Clause 12.4.1 shall not apply.

(ii) if an opinion from reputable local counsel or a firm of accountants of international standing has been obtained at the request of the Seller as envisaged by Clause 17.10.4, the Purchaser shall (and shall procure that any relevant member of the Purchaser Group shall) make such Relevant Tax Deduction in an amount or on a basis which is consistent with that opinion (which may result in no withholding or deduction), provided that the Seller has indemnified the Purchaser and any relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group, to the Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction, against any Liabilities arising (including any interest and penalties) should such opinion be wholly or partly incorrect.

agree that the Licence shall determine on a date to be agreed between the parties (acting reasonably); or

in the absence of such agreement, either party may require a QC (or equivalent) with no less than 15 years’ post-qualification experience in commercial real estate in the relevant jurisdiction to be appointed (such appointment to be by agreement between the Seller and the Purchaser or, failing agreement, within 14 days, by the President (as defined in paragraph 1.3.2(ii) of this Part 4 of Schedule 3)). Should the QC determine that there is more than a 50% chance of the proceedings in question resulting in the Lease in question being forfeited (or equivalent), then the Licence shall determine on a date to be agreed between the parties (acting reasonably) in order to afford the Seller the opportunity to apply for relief from forfeiture or otherwise challenge the proceedings in question on the basis that any breach resulting from the grant of the Licence has been cured,

provided that this paragraph 1.5.1(iii) shall at all times operate without prejudice to paragraphs 1.4.7, 1.5.1(i) and 1.12.

1.5.2 If, for whatever reason, the Licence Period comes to an end in relation to any of the Licensed Premises then:

(i) the Licence insofar as it relates to the relevant Licensed Premises shall be severable from the remainder of this Agreement and this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect;

(ii) the Purchaser shall not be entitled to any refund, abatement or reduction of the Purchase Price but shall be entitled to a refund in respect of any Licence Fee prior to the termination of the Licence for the Licensed Premises and which relates to the period following termination of the Licence;

(iii) it shall not prejudice or affect any claim by any relevant Business Seller in respect of any prior breach of this Agreement by the Purchaser in respect of that Licensed Premises; and

(iv) unless the Licence Period comes to an end due to Property Transfer Completion in respect of the relevant Licensed Premises taking place, the Purchaser shall:

vacate the Licensed Premises forthwith;

remove from the Licensed Premises all items belonging to it;

leave the Licensed Premises in a clean and tidy condition; and

at the request of the relevant Business Seller, reinstate the Licensed Premises or any part or parts thereof to at least as good a state of repair or condition as at Closing, fair wear and tear excepted.

1.6 Closing

1.6.1 The transfer of the Transferred Real Property shall only take place on Closing to the extent that all necessary Property Third Party Consents in respect of the relevant transfer have been obtained prior to the Closing Date.

122

1.6.2 Without prejudice to Clause 4.1.8, the Purchase Price shall be paid on the Closing Date in accordance with this Agreement even if any necessary Property Third Party Consents have not then been obtained and not all the Transferred Real Property is transferred on the Closing Date.

1.6.3 Completion of the transfer of the Transferred Real Property shall take place at such place (or places) as the parties may agree.

1.7 Property Transfer Completion

1.9.2 The Purchaser is deemed to acquire with full knowledge of the matters referred to in paragraph 1.9.1 of this Part 4 of Schedule 3.

1.9.3 The Business Sellers shall procure that any and all financial charges affecting the Transferred Real Properties will be discharged on or before the date on which such Transferred Real Property is to be transferred to the Purchaser, and shall provide to the Purchaser such evidence as the Purchaser may reasonably require in order to satisfy itself that such discharge has been effected and to remove any notices or entries in respect of such charges from any relevant register.

1.9.4 The Business Sellers do not give any warranty as to the use or area of any of the Transferred Real Properties and shall not be required to define the boundaries of any of the Transferred Real Properties. The transfer of the Transferred Real Properties shall not be annulled, nor shall any compensation be allowed or payable, in respect of any error in respect of any such matters.

1.9.5 On the date on which the transfer of each Transferred Real Property is completed, the Seller shall deliver, to the Purchaser (or such other third party as the Purchaser may reasonably direct) all of the original documents in the possession of the Business Sellers or relevant member of the Seller’s Group in respect of each of the Transferred Real Properties.

1.11 Grant of Sublease

If a Business Seller is unable to obtain a Property Third Party Consent from a Landlord for the transfer of a Transferred Leased Real Property the provisions of this paragraph 1.11 of Part 4 of Schedule 3 shall apply:

1.11.1 where a Lease permits a sublease to be granted without the requirement for any Property Third Party Consent from the Landlord, the relevant Business Seller shall grant to the Purchaser a sublease of the Transferred Leased Real Property on the same rent and other terms and conditions as the Lease of the Transferred Leased Real Property with such changes as are appropriate and agreed between the relevant Business Seller and the Purchaser acting reasonably and the term of the sublease shall be the term of such Lease less one day; and

(i) the grant of a sublease; or

(ii) the terms on which a sublease is granted,

the Seller or the relevant Business Seller shall use all reasonable endeavours to obtain such consent (“Sublease Consent”) from such Landlord. Where the relevant Business Seller is able to obtain the appropriate Sublease Consent (or, where applicable, the court of competent jurisdiction referred to in paragraph 1.12.1 of this Part 4 of Schedule 3 declares that the Sublease Consent has been unreasonably withheld or delayed), the relevant Business Seller shall grant to the Purchaser a sublease of the Transferred Leased Real Property on the same rent and other terms and conditions as the Lease of the Transferred Leased Real Property with such changes as are appropriate and agreed between the relevant Business Seller and the Purchaser acting reasonably and the term of the sublease shall be the term of such Lease less one day.

1.12 Property Third Party Consent not obtained

1.12.1 If a Property Third Party Consent (and, where applicable, a Sublease Consent) has been refused or otherwise not obtained within twelve months following the Closing Date, the Seller and the Purchaser may (acting reasonably) agree that an application is to be made to a court of competent jurisdiction that the relevant Property Third Party Consent has been unreasonably withheld or delayed.

1.12.2 If an application is to be made to a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to paragraph 1.12.1 of this Part 4 of Schedule 3:

(i) the proceedings shall be brought and prosecuted by the Seller; and

(ii) the Purchaser shall provide all such assistance in connection with such proceedings as the Seller (acting reasonably) may require in the interests of obtaining the Property Third Party Consent; and

(iii) provided that the Seller has complied with its obligations under paragraphs 1.3.3(i) and 1.11.2 of this Part 4 of Schedule 3, the Purchaser shall indemnify and keep indemnified the Seller for any costs and expenses

126

properly incurred by the Seller in bringing and prosecuting proceedings under this paragraph.

1.12.3 If a Property Third Party Consent has not been obtained by the Property Longstop Date then the Seller and the Purchaser shall each bear fifty per cent. of any Losses of the Seller and the Purchaser arising out of or in connection with the failure to obtain such Property Third Party Consent.

1.13 Obligations on the Business Sellers

In this Part 4 of Schedule 3, any reference to an obligation on the part of the Business Sellers (or any of them, as the case may be) shall be read as if it were an obligation on the part of the Seller to procure performance of such obligation by the Business Seller or Business Sellers in question.

1.14.1 The Seller shall keep the Purchaser fully informed of any discussions or negotiations with the Landlord in respect of the lease of premises at Hullenbergweg 81-135 (1011 CL), Amsterdam, The Netherlands (the “Amsterdam Lease”), or any notices received by the Seller (or any member of the Seller’s Group) from the Landlord in respect of the Amsterdam Lease relating to the determination thereof or the yielding up of the premises demised thereunder.

1.14.2 The Seller shall not, and shall procure that no member of the Seller’s Group shall, act independently of the Purchaser in relation to any discussions or negotiations relating to the extension or renewal of the Amsterdam Lease, and shall not enter into any document or deed extending or renewing the term of the Amsterdam Lease without the prior written approval of the Purchaser (not to be unreasonably delayed).

1.14.3 The Seller shall, and shall procure that any relevant member of the Seller’s Group shall, take such action as the Purchaser may reasonably request in connection with the Amsterdam Lease, including taking steps to extend or renew the same.

1.14.4 The Purchaser shall indemnify and keep indemnified the Seller against all costs properly incurred by the Seller (or any member of the Seller’s Group) arising out of or in connection with paragraph 1.14.3 of this Part 4 of Schedule 3.

1.14.5 If the Amsterdam Lease is extended or renewed, the leasehold property as extended or renewed shall be a “Transferred Real Property” for the purposes of this Agreement and the provisions of this Part 4 of Schedule 3 shall apply to such lease as extended or renewed.

1 Marketing Authorisation Transfer and Marketing Authorisation Re-registration

1.1 The Seller and the Purchaser hereby agree they will each use, and will procure that their respective Affiliates will use, all reasonable endeavours to ensure that, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date:

1.1.1 subject to paragraphs 1.1.2 and 1.1.3, each Marketing Authorisation shall be transferred in accordance with Applicable Law by the Marketing Authorisation Holder to the Marketing Authorisation Transferee (“Marketing Authorisation Transfer”); and

1.1.2 where Applicable Law does not permit Marketing Authorisation Transfer, a new marketing authorisation shall be registered in the name of the Marketing Authorisation Transferee to replace the existing Marketing Authorisation (“Marketing Authorisation Re-registration”) and the Seller shall procure that the relevant Marketing Authorisation Holder takes all necessary steps to withdraw, abandon, cancel or allow to lapse the superseded Marketing Authorisation as soon as practicable after the Marketing Authorisation Re-registration Date; and

1.1.3 good faith discussions are held between the Seller and the Purchaser (or their respective Affiliates) to determine whether a structure may be implemented such that the Marketing Authorisation Transfers in Brazil may be effected without the need for a Marketing Authorisation Re-registration, such as by means of a spin-off structure under Applicable Law.

1.2 The parties agree that the transfer of any Marketing Authorisation from the Marketing Authorisation Holder to the Marketing Authorisation Transferee in respect of any Delayed Businesses shall not complete until on or after the relevant Delayed Closing Date.

1.3 Any Marketing Authorisation Transfer or Marketing Authorisation Re-registration (as applicable) shall each be effected on a Market-by-Market basis (such that there shall not be any staggered Marketing Authorisation Transfer or Marketing Authorisation Re-registration (as the case may be) on a Product-by-Product basis in any Market), unless otherwise agreed between the Seller and the Purchaser.

Documentation”). The MA Documentation shall be prepared in accordance with Applicable Law as soon as reasonably practicable.

1.6 At the Seller’s election, the Purchaser shall procure that advanced drafts of the MA Documentation are submitted to the Seller so as to allow the Seller and/or the Marketing Authorisation Holder a reasonable opportunity to provide comments on such MA Documentation before it is submitted to the relevant Governmental Entity. The Purchaser shall incorporate all comments on such drafts as may reasonably be made by the Seller and/or the Marketing Authorisation Holder PROVIDED THAT the Purchaser shall not be obliged to incorporate any comments if the Purchaser considers, acting reasonably that to do so would materially delay Marketing Authorisation Transfer or Marketing Authorisation Re-registration (as applicable).

1.7 Where under Applicable Law the MA Documentation is required to be submitted to the relevant Governmental Entity:

1.7.1 by the Marketing Authorisation Holder, the Purchaser shall procure that the finalised MA Documentation is provided to the Seller after such MA Documentation is finalised in accordance with paragraph 1.5 above and the Seller shall, in turn, procure that the Marketing Authorisation Holder submits such MA Documentation to the relevant Governmental Entity (the timing and date of such submission to be agreed with the Purchaser) and the Seller shall promptly thereafter advise the Purchaser of such submission and provide a copy of the relevant MA Documentation (in the form submitted) to the Purchaser; and

1.8 From the Closing Date, the Seller shall procure that the relevant Marketing Authorisation Holder shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, sign any notices, applications, submissions, reports and other instruments, documents, correspondence or filings presented to it by the Purchaser or the relevant Marketing Authorisation Transferee that are necessary to effect Marketing Authorisation Transfer or Marketing Authorisation Re-registration (as applicable).

1.8.1 provide notice of its consent to a Marketing Authorisation Transfer or Marketing Authorisation Re-registration if required by any Governmental Entity; and

1.8.2 provide to the Purchaser or the relevant Marketing Authorisation Transferee any information or other data or technical or other information in its possession that relates to the relevant Marketing Authorisation and that is required by a relevant Governmental Entity or otherwise reasonably required by the Purchaser or the relevant Marketing Authorisation Transferee to assist the Purchaser or the relevant Marketing Authorisation Transferee to effect the relevant Marketing Authorisation Transfer or Marketing Authorisation Re-registration;

1.8.3 in the event of any request for information or any query from any relevant Governmental Entity in respect of Marketing Authorisation Transfer or the

135

Marketing Authorisation Re-registration (as applicable), the relevant party receiving such request or query shall provide copies of any such request or query to the Seller or, as the case may be, to the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall be responsible for preparing, or shall be responsible for procuring that there is prepared, (at the Purchaser’s cost and expense) any response to such a request or query with the intention that such request or query shall be dealt with as promptly and efficiently as possible. In advance of finalising any such response, the Purchaser shall procure that the relevant response is submitted to the Seller so as to allow the Seller and/or the relevant Marketing Authorisation Holder a reasonable opportunity to provide comments on such response before it is submitted to the Governmental Entity. The Purchaser shall procure that relevant Marketing Authorisation Transferee (i) shall submit the response to the relevant Governmental Entity as soon as reasonably practicable after the same has been finalised in accordance with this paragraph 1.7.3 and (ii) shall provide a copy of the relevant response (in the form submitted) to the Seller.

The Purchaser further agrees and acknowledges that, if it so chooses, the Seller shall be entitled to assume responsibility for obtaining (or procuring that there is obtained) the consent(s) and approval(s) of any relevant Governmental Entity required for such new, amended or proposed advertising and promotional activity or training activity; and

2.1.6 to the extent permitted by the terms of the relevant Marketing Authorisation, the Purchaser or any other member of the Purchaser’s Group shall Commercialise the Product(s) which are the subject of such Marketing Authorisation (notwithstanding that such Marketing Authorisation is held in the name of the relevant Marketing Authorisation Holder and, for the avoidance of doubt, the proceeds of any such Commercialisation shall be for the benefit of the Purchaser’s Group) and the Purchaser shall:

(i) indemnify each member of the Seller’s Group against any and all actions, claims, demands, investigations, judgments, proceedings, liabilities, loss, damages, payments, costs and expenses arising in relation to the Commercialisation of the Products by the Purchaser or any other member of the Purchaser’s Group under this paragraph (i); and

2.2.5 if the Seller and/or the Marketing Authorisation Holder believes (acting reasonably) that any of the information or any proposal included in the Pricing Negotiation Documentation prepared by the Purchaser (or a member of the Purchaser’s Group) would constitute or result in a breach of Applicable Law by the Marketing Authorisation Holder, then it shall submit to the Purchaser (or relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group) within 10 Business Days of the date of receipt of the Pricing Negotiation Documentation from the Purchaser pursuant to paragraph 2.2.4, a written legal opinion specifying why any of the information or any proposal included in the Pricing Negotiation Documentation would constitute or result in a breach of Applicable Law.

Subject to paragraph 5.6, any Transferred Contract, Transferred Intellectual Property Contract, or Shared Business Contract relating to a Delayed Business (“Delayed Business Contracts”) shall not be transferred to the relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group until the relevant Delayed Closing Date and references in this Schedule 10 to “Closing”, “Closing Date” or “Effective Time” shall be deemed to be to “Delayed Closing Date” insofar as they relate to such Delayed Business Contracts, except paragraphs 2, 3.1 and 5.1.

2 Disclosure

From Closing the Purchaser shall have the right to full disclosure of all Transferred Contracts and Full Disclosure of the Relevant Part of the Shared Business Contracts (other than the Relevant Part of any Mixed Contracts) and the Seller shall use reasonable efforts to facilitate such disclosure as soon as reasonably practicable.

3 Separation of Shared Business Contracts

3.1 Prior to Closing, the Seller and the Purchaser shall discuss and agree in good faith a process to identify all material Shared Business Contracts.

3.2 The Seller shall use its reasonable efforts to maintain relationships under the Shared Business Contracts and continue to operate the Shared Business Contracts, including without limitation fulfilling all its obligations under the Shared Business Contracts (excluding the Relevant Parts), in the same manner as it has for the twelve months prior to the date of this Agreement.

3.3 The Purchaser may, by notice to the Seller at any time prior to the date falling 90 days after the Closing Date or, if the Seller has not provided Full Disclosure of the Relevant Part of a Shared Business Contract on or prior to Closing, the date falling 90 days after the date on which Full Disclosure of the Relevant Part of the relevant Shared Business Contract is made (the “Relevant Election Date”), elect to take the rights and obligations of the Relevant Part of any Shared Business Contract.

3.4 If the Purchaser makes an election under paragraph 3.3 above, the Seller and the Purchaser shall use their respective reasonable endeavours to procure that an arrangement is entered into with the relevant counterparty to each Shared Business Contract, the effect of which shall be that, with effect from the date of the relevant arrangement, the benefit and burden of the Relevant Part is severed from such Shared Business Contract and an agreement or arrangement equivalent to such Shared Business Contract is entered into between the relevant counterparty and a member of the Purchaser’s Group (or the Relevant Part of the Shared Business Contract is sub-licensed to such Purchaser) (a “Separation”). For the avoidance of doubt, no part of any such Shared Business Contract shall be severed and transferred to the Purchaser in so far as it relates to the Seller’s Group Retained Business, any product other than the Products or any Excluded Asset.

146

3.5 If no election is made by the Purchaser under paragraph 3.3 above by the Relevant Election Date, the provisions of paragraphs 6.2 of this Schedule shall apply in respect of the Relevant Part of such Shared Business Contract until the earlier of 9 months from the Relevant Election Date and the date on which the Purchaser notifies the Seller that an alternative arrangement has been put in place.

4.3 The Seller and the Purchaser shall use their respective reasonable endeavours to procure that an arrangement is entered into with the relevant counterparty to each Mixed Contract (save for those Mixed Contracts which the Seller and Purchaser otherwise agree and subject to such Mixed Contracts not containing any competitively sensitive information of the Influenza Business), the effect of which shall be that, with effect from the date of the relevant arrangement, the benefit and burden of the Relevant Part is severed from such Mixed Contract and an agreement or arrangement equivalent to such Mixed Contract is entered into between the relevant counterparty and a member of the Seller’s Group (or the Relevant Part of the Mixed Contract is sub-licensed to such Seller) (a “Mixed Contracts Separation”).

4.4 The Seller and the Purchaser shall, and shall procure that each other member of its Group shall, take all reasonable steps to install appropriate firewalls and other proportionate safeguards against the sharing of competitively sensitive information of the Influenza Business with those employees of the Purchaser’s Group engaged in the business of influenza vaccines.

5.1 Subject to paragraph 3, in relation to any Transferred Contract (excluding, for the purposes of this Schedule 10, any Product Approval or Product Application) or Transferred Intellectual Property Contract or Co-Owned Vaccines Group Intellectual Property Right or Transferred Plant and Equipment which is not assignable or sub-licensable without a Third Party Consent or a Separation of a Shared Business Contract or a Mixed Contracts Separation of a Mixed Contract which is not separable without a Third Party Consent, this Agreement shall not be construed as an assignment, an attempted assignment, a sub-licensing or an attempted sub-licensing and the Seller and the Purchaser shall each use their respective reasonable endeavours both before and after Closing to obtain all necessary Third Party Consents as soon as possible and shall keep the other informed of progress in obtaining such Third Party Consents.

5.3 Save as otherwise provided in this Agreement and save where related to the Mixed Contracts Separation of a Mixed Contract, the cost of any fee demanded by the third party as consideration for giving the Third Party Consent shall be borne by the Purchaser, provided that:

5.3.1 the cost is agreed in advance by the Purchaser (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and

5.3.2 no party shall be required to bear any internal or administrative costs of the other party in relation to any Third Party Consent.

5.4 Save as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the cost of any fee demanded by the third party as consideration for consenting to a Mixed Contracts Separation of a Mixed Contract and all administrative and all reasonable fully burdened internal costs of the Purchaser’s Group (including any Delayed Vaccines Group Company) shall be borne by the Seller, provided that the cost of any fee demanded by the third party is agreed in advance by the Seller (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

5.6.1 if the Seller or the relevant Business Seller and a member of the Purchaser’s Group agree in writing in respect of a specific Market that the Delayed Contract shall transfer at a later agreed date (a “Delayed Contract Transfer Date”), in which case such Delayed Contract shall transfer on the Delayed Contract Transfer Date; or

5.6.2 if a Delayed Contract Transfer Date has not been agreed under sub-paragraph 5.6.1 and such Delayed Contract relates to an Ongoing Clinical Trial (a “Clinical Trial Agreement”), the Clinical Trial Agreement shall not transfer before 1 May 2015 and shall transfer after that date but only to the extent permitted by Applicable Law; or

5.6.3 if a Delayed Contract Transfer Date has not been agreed under sub-paragraph 5.6.1 and such Delayed Contract is required to facilitate the provision of services by the Seller’s Group under the Transitional Distribution Services Agreement in any Market (a “Distribution Contract”), such Delayed Contract shall transfer in accordance with paragraph 5.7.

The parties agree that the provisions of this paragraph 5.6 shall not apply where a Contract is required under Applicable Law to transfer at a date that is earlier than the dates set out in sub paragraphs 5.6.1 to 5.6.3 and paragraph 5.7.

148

5.7 The parties agree that no Distribution Contracts shall transfer to the Purchaser (or a member of the Purchaser’s Group) before the date falling 90 days after the Closing Date (the “Moratorium Date”) (unless such Distribution Contract relates to distribution services provided in the USA). Following the Moratorium Date (or after the Closing Date if the Distribution Contract relates to distribution services in the USA), the Distribution Contracts shall transfer to the Purchaser (or a member of the Purchaser’s Group) as soon as possible after any relevant Third Party Consent is obtained unless either party notifies the other by the date which is 15 Business Days prior to the Moratorium Date that it believes (acting reasonably) that the transfer of the relevant Distribution Contract prior to the Planned Distribution Transfer Date will result in one or more Identified Risks, in which case, the relevant Distribution Contract shall not transfer to the Purchaser (or a member of the Purchaser’s Group) until the relevant Distribution Transfer Date unless any and all of the Identified Risks have been resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the party that may be adversely affected by the relevant Identified Risks before such date.

5.8 From the Effective Time until the transfer of any Delayed Contract is effected in accordance with sub-paragraphs 5.6 or 5.7, the provisions of paragraph 6 of this Schedule shall apply to such Delayed Contracts. Nothing in this paragraph 5.8 shall preclude the Purchaser or any member of the Purchaser’s Group from informing the counterparty to any Delayed Contract of the transfer of the Business to it or from engaging with such counterparty with respect to any matter relating to such Delayed Contract.

5.9 The provisions of paragraphs 3.3 to 3.5 (inclusive), paragraphs 5.1 to 5.8 (inclusive) and the entirety of paragraph 5 of this Schedule 10 shall not apply to Non-Transferring Tenders. The parties agree that each Non-Transferring Tender shall remain with the relevant member of the Seller’s Group that is the contracting party to the Non-Transferring Tender as at the date of this Agreement and no Third Party Consents shall be sought in respect of any Non-Transferring Tenders.

1.3 The Purchaser (on its own behalf and on behalf of any relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group) shall provide the Seller (for itself and any relevant member of the Seller’s Group) with such information and assistance at such times as the Seller may reasonably request or as may be reasonably necessary for the Seller or any other member of the Seller’s Group to comply with any formal or informal requirement to inform or consult with the Employees, a relevant trade union, a relevant works council, or any other employee representatives in connection with the matters contemplated by this Agreement (which formal or informal requirements the Seller hereby undertakes to comply or procure compliance with). Where reasonably necessary to ensure compliance with any formal or informal requirements or obligations to inform or consult with Employees, a relevant trade union, a relevant works council or any other employee representatives in connection with the matters contemplated by this Agreement, the Seller (for itself and for each member of the Seller’s Group) and the Purchaser (for itself and for each member of the Purchaser’s Group) agree that the Purchaser or relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group shall cooperate with and participate in any information, negotiation and/or consultation process as reasonably required by the Seller.

1.4 As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Purchaser agrees to provide on a timely basis such information, in writing, in respect of its existing terms and conditions of employment as may reasonably be required by the Seller so as to facilitate the Seller’s information and consultation exercise with its Employees in respect of the matters set out in this Agreement.

2 Vaccines Business Employees

2.1 General

2.1.1 The Purchaser shall (or shall procure that the relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group shall) fulfil all its duties and obligations under Applicable Law in relation to the Vaccines Business Employees. Where the provisions of local law do not provide for an automatic transfer of the employment of the Vaccines Business

154

Employees to the Purchaser or a relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group with effect from (and including) the Closing Date, then paragraph 2.2 below shall apply. Where the provisions of local law do provide for an automatic transfer of employment of the Relevant Vaccines Business Employees to the Purchaser or the relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group with effect from (and including) the Closing Date, then paragraph 2.3 below shall apply.

2.1.2 Notwithstanding that the employees referred to in the document attached to the email from [***] of Linklaters LLP and received by [***] of Slaughter and May on 25 February 2015 at 15:30 (GMT) may not in fact be working wholly or substantially in the Business (as carried on by the Vaccines Group), the parties hereby acknowledge and agree to treat them as if they are so working for the purposes of this Agreement.

2.1.3 The parties acknowledge and agree that:

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

(ii) the Purchaser’s obligations under this Schedule 11 shall apply in respect of each Deferred Employee in the same way as they do to each Vaccines Business Employee or Vaccines Group Company Employee (as appropriate); and

(iii) if any Deferred Employee accepts an offer of employment made by the Purchaser under paragraph 2.2.1 below or becomes an employee of a Vaccines Group Company after the Closing Date, such Deferred Employee shall further be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as a Transferred Employee.

2.1.4 For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph 2 shall not apply to any Excluded Employee, who will remain employed by the Seller or the relevant member of the Seller’s Group.

2.1.5 The parties agree that no provisions in this paragraph 2 shall require the Purchaser or another member of the Purchaser’s Group (including any Vaccines Group Company) to employ a Relevant Employee on and from the Closing Date until such time as such employee has the right (including, for the avoidance of any doubt, under any grace period) or is otherwise permitted under Applicable Law to accept an offer to work for the Purchaser or relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group and to commence working for the Purchaser or relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group. Any such employee will only be a “Transferred Employee” for the purposes of this Agreement from the time (the “Transfer Date”) he becomes an employee of a member of the Purchaser’s Group, and any provisions relating to Transferred Employees in this Agreement shall only apply to any such employee with effect on and from the Transfer Date and with the following amendments:

(i) references to the “Closing Date” and the “Effective Time” in paragraphs 4.1, 4.3.1, 4.3.2 and 4.4 shall be replaced with references to the “Transfer Date”;

(ii) references to an “Employee” in paragraphs 4.2.1, 4.2.2 and 4.3.5 shall be extended to refer to such Transferred Employee, and to the extent required

155

in respect of such Transferred Employee references to the “Closing Date” and the “Effective Time” shall be replaced with references to the “Transfer Date;

(iii) the reference to “basic salary” in paragraph 5.1.1 shall mean the basic salary that applied to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Transfer Date;

(iv) references to the “Closing Date” and the “Effective Time” in paragraph 6.2 shall be replaced with references to the “Transfer Date”;

(v) for the purposes of paragraphs 11.2 and 11.8 references to “Closing” and the “Closing Date” shall be construed as references to the Transfer Date; and

(vi) such other amendments as the parties may agree, each acting in good faith.

2.2 Where no automatic transfer of employment

2.2.1 In such timescale as the parties may agree in order to comply with any Applicable Law, but in any event at least 15 days prior to the Closing Date, unless agreed otherwise by the parties (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld by any party), the Purchaser or relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group shall make an offer to each Vaccines Business Employee employed by the Seller or a member of the Seller’s Group to employ him or her under a new contract of employment to commence with effect from (and including) the Closing Date provided that such employee continues to be a Vaccines Business Employee until the Closing Date. Save as otherwise agreed with the Seller (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld), 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 Vaccines Business Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date. The Purchaser shall keep the Seller updated throughout the offer process on when offers are made and accepted or rejected.

2.2.2 If the Vaccines Business Employee wishes to accept the offer of employment from the Purchaser or the relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group, then the Seller shall (or shall procure that the relevant member of the Seller’s Group shall), insofar as it is permitted by Applicable Law, waive the requirement on the Vaccines Business Employee concerned to give any period of notice of termination of his or her employment under the terms of his or her employment so as to allow the Vaccines Business Employee to commence employment with the Purchaser or relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group with effect from (and including) the Closing Date.

2.2.3 The parties agree that where a Relevant Employee (a “Leave Employee”) in the United States is absent on short term disability (including, without limitation, maternity) leave or military leave which will end on or after the Closing Date, and would otherwise have been made an offer of employment to commence with effect from (and including) the Closing Date by the Purchaser or relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group, such an offer shall be made, but employment pursuant to such offer shall commence only with effect from (and including) the date on which the Leave Employee returns to work at the end of such period of short term disability (including, without limitation, maternity) or military leave, provided always that the

156

date of such return to work is no more than six months after the date on which such short term leave began. Any such employee will only be a “Transferred Employee” for the purposes of this Agreement from the time (the “Transfer Date”) he becomes an employee of a member of the Purchaser’s Group, and any provisions relating to Transferred Employees in this Agreement shall only apply to any such employee with effect on and from the Transfer Date and with the following amendments:

(i) references to the “Closing Date” and the “Effective Time” in paragraphs 4.1, 4.3.1, 4.3.2 and 4.4 shall be replaced with references to the “Transfer Date”;

(ii) references to an “Employee” in paragraphs 4.2.1, 4.2.2 and 4.3.5 shall be extended to refer to such Transferred Employee, and to the extent required in respect of such Transferred Employee references to the “Closing Date” and the “Effective Time” shall be replaced with references to the “Transfer Date”;

(iii) the reference to “basic salary” in paragraph 5.1.1 shall mean the basic salary that applied to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Transfer Date;

(iv) references to the “Closing Date” and the “Effective Time” in paragraph 6.2 shall be replaced with references to the “Transfer Date”;

(v) for the purposes of paragraphs 11.2 and 11.8 references to “Closing” and the “Closing Date” shall be construed as references to the “Transfer Date”; and

(vi) such other amendments as the parties may agree, each acting in good faith.

2.2.4 If any Leave Employee has not returned to work by the date falling six months after the date on which such short term leave began then such Leave Employee shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as an Excluded Employee.

2.2.5 If in relation to any Relevant Employee, the day prior to the Closing Date occurs on a day which is not a Relevant Working Day in the jurisdiction in which that Employee is employed, the parties may agree (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld by any party), that such Relevant Employees (the “Working Day Relevant Employees”) shall remain employees of the Seller or a member of the Seller’s Group until the first Relevant Working Day on or after the Closing Date (the “Working Day Employee Termination Date”). If so agreed, the parties agree that the transfer of employment of the Working Day Relevant Employees to the Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall take effect on and from the day following the Working Day Employee Termination Date which applies to the relevant Working Day Relevant Employee. The Purchaser acknowledges that it will be responsible for the total amount actually paid by the Seller or its Affiliate for compensation and benefits, including any withholding taxes and payroll taxes paid by the Seller’s Group, to or in respect of the Working Day Relevant Employees in relation to their ordinary course of employment for the period on and from the Effective Time to (and including) the Working Day Employee Termination Date which applies to the relevant Working Day Relevant Employee.

157

2.3 Where automatic transfer of employment

If the Transfer Regulations do not or are found not to or are alleged not to apply to any person who is a Relevant Vaccines Business Employee and to whom paragraph 2.2 does not apply, the Purchaser agrees that following Closing:

2.3.1 in consultation with the Seller, the Purchaser or relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group shall within 10 Business Days of being so requested by the Seller (as long as the request is made no later than 3 months after Closing) (or if the Purchaser so chooses), make such Relevant Vaccines Business Employee an offer in writing to employ him or her under a new contract of employment subject to, and to take effect upon, a date agreed between the parties and such employee; and

2.3.2 save as otherwise agreed with the Seller (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld) 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 Relevant Vaccines Business Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date.

3 Wrong-pocket arrangements for persons other than Relevant Employees

3.1 If the contract of employment of any person other than a Relevant Employee is found or alleged to have effect upon Closing as if originally made with the Purchaser or another member of the Purchaser’s Group (including any Vaccines Group Company) as a consequence of this Agreement, or if any Vaccines Group Company employs any person who at Closing does not work wholly or substantially in the Business (as carried on by the Vaccines Group), or if any Vaccines Group Company employs or becomes liable to employ on or after the Closing Date any person other than a Relevant Employee as a consequence of such person exercising a right of objection against the transfer of his employment relationship (including without limitation pursuant to Section 613a para. 6 German Civil Code (BGB)) which results in his continuing employment relationship with that Vaccines Group Company or otherwise exercising a right to be re-hired by that Vaccines Group Company and provided in either case that the right arose in connection with Closing or matters arising prior to Closing, the Seller agrees that following Closing:

3.1.1 in consultation with the Purchaser, the Seller or relevant member of the Seller’s Group may within 10 Business Days of being so requested by the Purchaser (as long as the request is made no later than 3 months after Closing or, in the case of an objection or a right to be re-hired referred to above, no later than 3 months after that person exercises a right of objection or a right to be re-hired) (or if the Seller so chooses), make to that person an offer in writing to employ him or her under a new contract of employment subject to, and to take effect upon, the termination referred to below; and

3.1.2 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.

3.2 After the expiry of the 10 Business Days referred to at paragraph 3.1 above, and provided that the relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group takes such steps as are legally possible to terminate the employment of the person concerned as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming aware of the finding, allegation, objection or re-hire referred to at paragraph 3.1 above (either by giving notice or transferring the person by agreement to

158

be concluded between the relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group, the person concerned and the relevant member of the Seller’s Group), 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 from time to time made, suffered or incurred by the Purchaser (or any other member of the Purchaser’s Group) as a result of:

3.2.1 the actual or alleged transfer to (or continued employment with or right to be employed by) a member of the Purchaser’s Group and (regardless of whether there has been such a transfer) any employment liabilities relating to such person;

3.2.2 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

3.2.3 such termination.

3.3 The parties agree to co-operate in good faith to minimise the Losses which are subject to the indemnity referred to in paragraph 3.2 above.

3.4 Save as set out in paragraph 3.5 below, the provisions of this paragraph 3 shall not apply in relation to any of the people listed in Schedule 5 under the heading “Marburg 35”.

3.5 As soon as any 18 people listed in Schedule 5 under the heading “Marburg 35” have exercised a right of objection or a right to be re-hired referred to at paragraph 3.1 above, then the provisions of this paragraph 3 shall apply in relation to the remaining 17 people listed under the heading “Marburg 35”.

4 Employment liabilities

4.1 All wages, salaries, employer’s liabilities in respect of associated Taxes and other periodic outgoings in respect of the Transferred Employees which relate to a period:

4.1.1 on and after the Effective Time shall be borne or discharged by the Purchaser or relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group; and

4.1.2 before the Effective Time shall be borne or discharged by the Seller or relevant member of the Seller’s Group.

4.2 Subject to paragraph 4.1, the Seller shall (for itself and for each member of the Seller’s Group) indemnify and keep indemnified the Purchaser (for itself and as trustee for each other member of the Purchaser’s Group) against all Losses (ignoring any amount in respect of Employee Benefits, as to which see Schedule 12) in respect of:

4.2.1 the employment of any Employee at any time prior to the Effective Time (excluding any Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities (as defined in Schedule 12) which the Purchaser agrees to assume in accordance with Schedule 12);

4.2.2 any termination of the employment of any Employees prior to the Effective Time and any termination of the employment of any Employees on and after the Effective Time but prior to the Closing Date which are not otherwise covered by paragraph 4.3.2 including, but not limited to, all claims relating to severance, termination pay, pay in lieu of notice of termination and similar obligations (excluding any liability arising directly as a result of any breach of the commitments

159

set out in paragraph 5 or 6 below by the Purchaser or a member of the Purchaser’s Group and any act or omission by the Purchaser or any member of the Purchaser’s Group in relation to any Employee before the Closing Date as a result of which that Employee treats his employment as having been terminated prior to the Closing Date);

4.2.3 any amount which becomes payable to any Employee or benefit to which any Employee becomes entitled by reason of this Agreement or the matters it contemplates, including any change of control or other payment or benefit (and including any enhancement of severance terms on a subsequent termination of employment but excluding any Losses relating to any share-based incentive schemes, as to which see paragraph 11 below);

4.2.4 any failure by the Seller or any other member of the Seller’s Group to comply with any obligation to inform or consult with employee representatives in connection with the matters contemplated by this Agreement (other than as a result of any failure set out in paragraph 4.3.3 below); and

4.2.5 any breach by the Seller or any other member of the Seller’s Group of paragraph 4.1.2 above or paragraph 4.4, 4.5 or 10 below.

4.3 The Purchaser shall (for itself and for each member of the Purchaser’s Group) indemnify and keep indemnified the Seller (for itself and as trustee for each other member of the Seller’s Group) against all Losses (ignoring any amount in respect of Employee Benefits, as to which see Schedule 12) in respect of:

4.3.1 the employment of any of the Transferred Employees on and after the Effective Time (including, without limitation, any changes to terms and conditions of employment by the Purchaser or any other member of the Purchaser’s Group);

4.3.2 any termination of the employment of any Transferred Employees on and after the Effective Time and any termination of the employment of any Employees by a member of the Seller’s Group on and after the Effective Time but prior to the Closing Date who would, but for such termination of employment by a member of the Seller’s Group, have been Transferred Employees (save in each case where such termination is in order to facilitate the transfer of any Relevant Employees pursuant to paragraph 2 of this Schedule 11 or is otherwise in connection with any rejection or objection to such transfer in circumstances where paragraph 4.3.5 does not apply) including, but not limited to, all claims relating to severance, termination pay, pay in lieu of notice of termination and similar obligations except as contemplated under paragraph 3.2 above;

4.3.3 any failure by the Purchaser or any other member of the Purchaser’s Group to provide information and reasonable assistance to the Seller to enable the Seller or any other member of the Seller’s Group to comply with any obligation to inform or consult with employee representatives in connection with the matters contemplated by this Agreement;

4.3.4 any breach by the Purchaser or any other member of the Purchaser’s Group of paragraph 4.1.1 above or paragraph 4.4 or 4.5 below; and

4.3.5 any act or omission by the Purchaser or any member of the Purchaser’s Group in relation to any Employee before the Closing Date as a result of which that

160

Employee treats his employment as having been terminated prior to the Closing Date.

4.4 Any amount payable to or in respect of any Transferred Employee on or after the Closing Date (including without limitation amounts paid under paragraph 4.5 below) which (ignoring vesting conditions and any amount payable in respect of Employee Benefits or otherwise in accordance with Schedule 12) is referable to the period prior to the Effective Time is payable by the Seller (for itself or on behalf of the relevant Share Seller or Business Seller). Responsibility for amounts payable which are only partly referable to the period prior to the Effective Time (again ignoring vesting conditions) is to be shared between the Seller (for itself or on behalf of the relevant Share Seller or Business Seller) and the Purchaser (for itself or on behalf of the relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group) such that the Seller bears S per cent. of the cost and the Purchaser bears P per cent., where S is the percentage of the period by reference to which the amount was earned which fell before the Effective Time and P is the percentage of that period which falls on and after the Effective Time. Save for the payments described in paragraph 4.5 below, the Purchaser shall, or shall procure that such other member of the Purchaser’s Group shall, pay such amounts when due to the relevant Transferred Employees on or after the Closing Date and shall deduct and/or pay and account for any Tax payable or accountable for by the employer in respect of such amounts. The Seller covenants to reimburse the Purchaser in respect of any such amount (or S per cent. of it where relevant), including any Tax payable or accountable for by the employer in respect of such amount, within 30 days of receiving notification that it has been paid to the extent such amounts are not reflected in the Closing Statement. The Seller will provide the Purchaser with all information and documentation reasonably necessary to allow such payments to be made.

4.5 Following the Closing Date:

4.5.1 the Seller shall, or shall procure that a member of the Seller’s Group shall, pay a pro-rated cash bonus for the current bonus year as at the Effective Time and any unpaid cash bonus for the bonus year which ended before the Effective Time to each Transferred Employee who participated in such annual cash bonus plan within 90 days following the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph 4.5.1 shall apply whether or not a member of the Seller’s Group provides post-Closing payroll services to a Vaccines Group Company; and

4.5.2 where the Seller is able to determine performance, any such bonus payment made to such eligible employees will be based on the Seller’s determination of performance to the Effective Time and (where applicable) pro-rated to the Effective Time; or

4.5.3 where the Seller is unable to determine performance (either business or individual), for example, because the Effective Time occurs near the start of the bonus year, the Seller shall calculate any such bonus payment based on a deemed achievement of performance conditions at target level pro-rated to the Effective Time; and

4.5.4 as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall, or shall procure that such other member of the Purchaser’s Group shall, provide such information as the Seller requires in order for the Seller to calculate the Tax payable or accountable for by the employer in respect of such bonus payments; and

161

4.5.5 if and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Seller shall, or shall procure that such other member of the Seller’s Group shall, deduct and/or account for any Tax payable or accountable for by the employer in respect of such bonus payments; or

4.5.6 if and to the extent paragraph 4.5.5 above is not permitted by Applicable Law, the Purchaser shall, or shall procure that such other member of the Purchaser’s Group shall, pay and/or account for any Tax payable or accountable for by the employer in respect of such bonus payments and the Seller shall reimburse the Purchaser in respect of such amounts so paid and/or accounted for; and

4.5.7 where any amount in respect of payments made by the Seller or any other member of the Seller’s Group pursuant to this paragraph 4.5 is reflected in the Closing Statement, the Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller in respect of the amount so reflected. For the avoidance of doubt, no reimbursement by the Purchaser shall be due in respect of any such payment to the extent it is not reflected in the Closing Statement.

4.6 If any loan made by a member of the Seller’s Group to a Transferred Employee (an “Employee Loan”) remains outstanding at the Closing Date, then the parties shall co-operate in good faith to procure an outcome such that:

4.6.1 the Employee Loan shall be discharged in full within a reasonable period after the Closing Date and the relevant member of the Seller’s Group shall receive all outstanding amounts of principal and interest under the Employee Loan (either from the relevant Transferring Employee or from a member of the Purchaser’s Group); and

4.6.2 a loan in the same amount and on the same terms as to interest and repayment as the outstanding portion of the Employee Loan shall be made available by the Purchaser to the relevant Transferred Employee.

5 Protection of terms and conditions and termination rights post-Closing

5.1 Without prejudice to paragraph 5.4 below, the Purchaser shall procure that for a period of 24 months following the Closing Date:

5.1.1 each Transferred Employee will (for so long as such Transferred Employee continues in the same role with any member of the Purchaser’s Group save that the Purchaser shall not seek to demote any Transferred Employee to avoid the application of this provision) continue to receive at least the same basic salary; and

5.1.2 each Transferred Employee will continue to receive contractual benefits (but excluding Employee Benefits and any share-based incentive schemes or other long-term incentive plans) which the Purchaser reasonably considers to be substantially comparable, taken as a whole, to the contractual benefits (but excluding Employee Benefits and any share-based incentive schemes or other long-term incentive plans) of such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date; and

5.1.3 no Transferred Employee will suffer a change to his overall employment terms (whether contractual or otherwise) and including, without limitation, any related to length of service (but excluding Employee Benefits and any share-based incentive schemes or other long-term incentive plans), which, when taken as a whole viewed

162

in the round (including to the extent relevant alongside any other changes being made at the same time to that Transferred Employee’s employment terms), would in the Purchaser’s reasonable opinion acting in good faith, be regarded as materially detrimental.

5.2 The Purchaser confirms that, following the Closing Date and for so long as the Transferred Employees continue in the employment of any member of the Purchaser’s Group, the Transferred Employees will be eligible to participate in those share-based incentive schemes or other long-term incentive plans that are operated by the Purchaser or relevant members of the Purchaser’s Group from time to time for employees of equivalent status, subject always to the rules of such share-based incentive schemes or long-term incentive plans and any qualifying conditions.

5.3 The Seller shall provide or shall cause to be provided to any member of the Purchaser’s Group such information reasonably requested in writing by any member of the Purchaser’s Group to enable the Purchaser to comply with its obligations in paragraph 5.1 above.

5.4 If the employment of any Transferred Employee is terminated by reason of redundancy within 24 months following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall procure that there shall be provided to such Transferred Employee benefits which are equivalent to those provided under such redundancy and severance policies and benefits (whether contractual or otherwise and giving due credit to the Transferred Employees for any additional service or earnings from the Closing Date onwards) (but excluding Employee Benefits) as were applicable in respect of the particular Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, to the extent that such policies and benefits are notified in writing to the Purchaser prior to the Closing Date. If, at any time during the 24 month period immediately following the Closing Date, the Purchaser places any Transferred Employee into a redundancy selection process, the Purchaser undertakes that, in determining such selection, it will or will procure that the relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group will take no account of the costs of dismissal of any person within the relevant selection pool (including such Transferred Employee). For the avoidance of doubt, redundancy payments of the type described in this paragraph 5.4 (whether paid within 24 months of Closing or later) are not intended to be covered by the apportionment mechanism at paragraph 4.4 above.

5.5 For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this paragraph 5 are without prejudice to the operation of any rule of law in relation to the terms and conditions of employment of the Transferred Employees.

6 Benefits arrangements/service continuity

6.1 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 Employee under a comparable plan or arrangement immediately prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph 6.1 shall be construed to require recognition of service for the purposes of calculation of Employee Benefits or that would result in:

6.1.1 any additional liability being assumed by the Purchaser’s Group in respect of Employee Benefits other than subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 12;

163

6.1.2 duplication of benefit;

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

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

6.2 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, provided that, if the value of such matters (excluding normal accrued but untaken annual leave for the year current as at the Closing Date) would exceed US$7.5 million if accrued for in a balance sheet in accordance with IFRS prior to the Effective Time, then the Seller shall compensate the Purchaser for such matters accrued prior to the Effective Time (again excluding normal accrued but untaken annual leave for the year current as at the Closing Date) by paying the Purchaser an amount equal to that value, less any amount actually accrued and transferred to the Purchaser for such matters.

6.3 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:

6.3.1 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 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

6.3.2 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.

7 US Transferred Employees

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 Transferred Employees who are employed in the United States and/or covered by US Benefit Plans and whose employment is terminated after the Closing Date and their eligible dependents.

8 Shared Employees

After the date of this Agreement, the Seller shall identify any Shared Employees who work wholly or substantially in the Business (as carried on by the Vaccines Group) but who are not Vaccines Group Company Employees or Vaccines Business Employees. In

164

consultation with the Purchaser, the Seller will procure that a Vaccines Group Company will offer employment to any such employee before the Closing Date, to take effect from immediately before the Closing Date (provided that such employee continues to work wholly or substantially in the Business (as carried on by the Vaccines Group) until the Closing Date) or, where that is not reasonably practicable or there is no Vaccines Group Company in the country in which the employee works, the Purchaser shall treat such employee as if he or she were a Vaccines Business Employee (provided that such employee continues to work wholly or substantially in the Business (as carried on by the Vaccines Group) until the Closing Date) and the provisions of this Schedule 11 will apply to him or her and further provided, however, that these arrangements will apply to no more than 10 full time equivalent employees.

9 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 and the Seller has disclosed to the Purchaser the template international assignment terms of the Seller’s Group prior to the Closing Date.

10 Liability for retention arrangements

The Seller or any other member of the Seller’s Group has or will put in place certain retention arrangements (in the form of cash) to retain key employees in connection with the matters contemplated by this Agreement. To the extent that details of such retention arrangements are disclosed to the Purchaser prior to the Closing Date, and in respect of arrangements put in place after the date of this Agreement, with the agreement of the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall, or shall procure that such other member of the Purchaser’s Group shall, make the cash retention payments when due to the relevant Transferred Employees on or after Closing and shall deduct and/or pay and account for any Tax payable or accountable for by the employer in respect of such cash payments. The Seller covenants to reimburse the Purchaser in respect of any cash retention payments, whether or not disclosed (including any Tax payable or accountable for by the employer in respect of such payments), which are put in place prior to the Closing Date. The Seller acknowledges that the Purchaser may ask the Seller to put in place more generous retention arrangements than those proposed by the Seller (including, where practicable, putting in place retention arrangements which last for a period of at least six months following Closing) and will not unreasonably withhold consent to such arrangements provided that any incremental cost of such arrangements over and above the cost of the Seller’s own proposals will be for the Purchaser’s account. The Seller will provide the Purchaser with all information and documentation reasonably necessary to allow such payments to be made.

11 Share-based incentive schemes

11.1 This paragraph 11 applies notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement.

165

11.2 Subject to paragraph 11.11, the Seller undertakes to use its best endeavours to ensure that 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 a manner consistent with the “good leaver treatment” in the share-based incentive schemes operated by the Purchaser, to the extent possible under the relevant plan rules and any Applicable Law. 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”.

For the avoidance of doubt:

(a) where necessary and subject to (b), the Seller shall rely on the exercise of existing discretions in the relevant plan rules and (provided the approval of the Seller’s shareholders is not required) shall be expected to amend the relevant plan rules to achieve the “good leaver treatment”;

(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 11.2, 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 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); and

(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.

For the purposes of this paragraph 11.2, “on target” performance shall not be construed as permitting share-based awards to vest in full.

11.3 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, including any Tax. The Purchaser agrees to use its best endeavours to seek any applicable Tax relief in respect of the Relevant Awards and to indemnify the Seller in respect of any Tax relief obtained, provided always that the Seller provides the Purchaser with any information that the Purchaser may reasonably request in this respect in a timely manner.

11.4 Subject to paragraph 11.5, the Seller undertakes to inform the Purchaser of the vesting or exercise (as applicable) of the Relevant Awards and to provide, in a timely manner, details of the Relevant Awards that so vest or are exercised so that the Purchaser’s Group can make any applicable withholdings for Tax and pay any Tax for which the Purchaser’s

166

Group is liable in respect of the Relevant Awards to the relevant Tax Authority within any applicable timescale.

11.5 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 withholdings 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.

11.6 The Seller undertakes to procure that each relevant member of the Seller’s Group will pay any Tax for which such member is liable in respect of the Relevant Awards to the relevant Tax Authority within any applicable timescale.

11.7 The Seller undertakes to procure the completion of any relevant Tax Return in respect of the Relevant Awards and to procure the submission of any such Tax Return to the relevant Tax Authority within any applicable timescale.

11.8 This paragraph shall apply where Relevant Awards lapse or are forfeited (or will lapse or be forfeited) either in whole or in part as a result of Closing. As soon as practicable following Closing with the intention being, where possible, to grant within 30 days of the Closing Date or the first date after the Closing Date when dealing restrictions do not apply (and, in any event, by the later of 90 days from the Closing Date and 90 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 over shares in the capital of the Purchaser substantially equal in value (valued as at the date of grant) to the value of the portion of their Relevant 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”). To the extent that (i) it could reasonably have been expected that any related matching share award and/or free share award would have been granted to a Transferred Employee following Closing in connection with any Relevant Award which lapsed or was forfeited (or will lapse or be forfeited) as a result of Closing (each a “Relevant Matching Award”), and (ii) such Relevant Matching Award has not been granted (or will not be granted) as a result of Closing, on or around the date on which such Relevant Matching Award would, in the ordinary course of business, have been made by the Seller (or member of the Seller’s Group), the Purchaser (or member of the Purchaser’s Group) shall grant each relevant Transferred Employee a share-based award over shares in the capital of the Purchaser substantially equal in value (valued as at the date of grant) to the value of such Relevant Matching Award (valued as at the date of grant of the related Matching Award, defined below), where relevant, disregarding any loss (or expected loss) of Tax-favourable treatment (each a “Matching Award”), subject to the relevant plan rules and any Applicable Law.

Such Compensation Awards and Matching Awards shall be granted pursuant to the rules of whichever share-based 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 pursuant to which the related Relevant Award had been granted (or related Relevant Matching Award would have been granted) but will vest

167

according to a vesting schedule substantially similar to the vesting schedule that would have otherwise applied to the related Relevant Award or related Relevant Matching Award if Closing had not occurred. In such cases:

(a) the Purchaser undertakes to seek any applicable Tax relief in respect of the Compensation Awards and Matching Awards and to indemnify the Seller in respect of 50 per cent of any Tax relief obtained, provided always that the Seller provides the Purchaser with any information that the Purchaser may reasonably request in this respect in a timely manner;

(b) where a Compensation Award or Matching Award is granted in the form of a restricted share award, the Purchaser undertakes to obtain a valid election pursuant to section 431 of the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (or, as applicable, any similar Tax election that is available pursuant to any Applicable Law in another jurisdiction), provided that, if either party makes representations to the other party to waive this obligation in respect of certain Compensation Awards or certain Matching Awards and the other party consents to such waiver (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), this paragraph (B) shall not apply in respect of such Compensation Awards or Matching Awards; and

(c) the Seller agrees to indemnify the Purchaser (or relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group) for 50 per cent. of any Liabilities borne by the Purchaser’s Group in connection with such Compensation Awards and Matching Awards, including any Tax, provided that:

(i) the Seller shall not indemnify the Purchaser (or relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group) to the extent that the Purchaser (or member of the Purchaser’s Group) compensates Transferred Employees for any loss (or expected loss) of Tax-favourable treatment in respect of Relevant Awards or for any Liabilities to Tax as contemplated in paragraph 11.9 below;

(ii) the Seller only agrees to indemnify the Purchaser (or member of the Purchaser’s Group) to a maximum of 50 per cent of the total of (i) the value of the portion of such Relevant Awards that lapsed or was forfeited (or will lapse or be forfeited) as a result of Closing, (ii) the value of the Relevant Matching Awards, and (iii) any related Liabilities, including any Tax; and

(iii) for the avoidance of doubt, the Seller shall not indemnify the Purchaser (or member of the Purchaser’s Group) for any lapse or forfeiture (or expected lapse or forfeiture) due to a failure to meet any applicable performance (or other) conditions.

For these purposes, the compensation in respect of the portion of a Relevant Award which lapsed or was forfeited (or will lapse or be forfeited) as a result of Closing shall not exceed the difference between (i) the value of the Relevant Award which could reasonably have been expected to vest on the normal vesting date but for Closing (subject, where applicable, to performance (or other) conditions), and (ii) the value of the Relevant Award which actually vested (or will vest) as a result of Closing.

For the purposes of this paragraph 11.8:

(a) the portion of a Relevant 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

168

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;

(c) the value of a Relevant Matching Award 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 the date of grant of the related Matching Award;

(d) the value of a Matching 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

(e) any currency conversion shall be made in accordance with Clause 1.13.1 of this Agreement.

11.9 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 11.9 shall apply mutatis mutandis.

11.10 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 2014 financial year (which may, for the avoidance of doubt, be business and/or individual performance criteria and assessment) (each a “2014 Performance Award”), and (ii) Closing occurs prior to the grant of such 2014 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 2014 Performance Award has been determined), the Seller shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the value of each 2014 Performance Award and under which share-based incentive plan operated by the Seller’s Group the related 2014 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 over shares in the capital of the Purchaser substantially equal in value (valued as at the date of grant) to the value of the 2014 Performance Award which would have been granted but for the occurrence of Closing. Such 2014 Performance Awards shall be granted pursuant to the rules of whichever share-based 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 pursuant to which the related 2014 Performance Award would have been granted. In such cases:

169

(a) the Purchaser undertakes to seek any applicable Tax relief in respect of the 2014 Performance Awards and to indemnify the Seller in respect of any Tax relief obtained, provided always that the Seller provides the Purchaser with any information that the Purchaser may reasonably request in this respect in a timely manner;

(b) where a 2014 Performance Award is granted in the form of a restricted share award, the Purchaser undertakes to obtain a valid election pursuant to section 431 of the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (or, as applicable, any similar Tax election that is available pursuant to any Applicable Law in another jurisdiction), provided that, if either party makes representations to the other party to waive this obligation in respect of certain 2014 Performance Awards and the other party consents to such waiver (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), this paragraph (b) shall not apply in respect of such 2014 Performance Awards; and

(c) 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 such 2014 Performance Awards, including any Tax.

The grant of a 2014 Performance 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 or Matching Award) operated by the Purchaser’s Group following Closing.

For the purposes of this paragraph 11.10:

(d) the value of a 2014 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 2014 financial year, and (iv) if Closing occurs before 31 December 2014, be time pro-rated to take account of the reduced period of time, as a proportion of the Seller’s Group’s 2014 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);

(e) the number of shares to be placed under a 2014 Performance Award 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

(f) any currency conversion shall be made in accordance with Clause 1.13.1 of this Agreement.

11.11 This paragraph shall apply if any member of the Seller’s Group’s corporate executive team (or similar body) is a Transferred Employee (each a “CET Member”). The treatment of share-based awards held by CET members shall be determined by the remuneration committee of the board of directors of the Seller (acting reasonably and in good faith and following informal consultation with the Purchaser), subject to the rules of any relevant share-based incentive scheme and any Applicable Law, and the provisions of paragraphs 11.8 and 11.10 shall apply.

170

12.1 In this Schedule:

“Controlled Business Instruction” has the meaning given to it in Schedule 25;

“Delayed Business Employees” means (i) the Relevant Vaccines Business Employees who immediately prior to the Closing Date work in any of the Delayed Vaccines Group Businesses, and (ii) any employees of any member of the Seller’s Group who are appointed to their position (whether by internal or external hire) on or after the Closing Date in accordance with a Controlled Business Instruction or Seller Involvement Instruction to work wholly or substantially in the Business (as carried on by the Vaccines Group) (other than the Delayed Company Employees), and in each case for so long as they are not assigned to work other than wholly or substantially in the Business (as carried on by the Vaccines Group);

“Delayed Closing Date” has the meaning given to it in Schedule 25;

“Delayed Company Employees” means (i) the Relevant Vaccines Company Employees who immediately prior to the Closing Date are employees of any of the Delayed Vaccines Group Companies, and (ii) any employees of any of the Delayed Vaccines Group Companies who are appointed to their position (whether by internal or external hire) on or after the Closing Date to work wholly or substantially in the Business (as carried on by the Vaccines Group) in accordance with a Controlled Business Instruction or Seller Involvement Instruction, and in each case for so long as they are not assigned to work other than wholly or substantially in the Business (as carried on by the Vaccines Group);

“Delayed Employees” means the Delayed Business Employees and the Delayed Company Employees;

“Delayed Vaccines Group Business” has the meaning given to it in Schedule 25;

“Delayed Vaccines Group Company” has the meaning given to it in Schedule 25; and

“Seller Involvement Instruction” has the meaning given to it in Schedule 25.

12.2 The parties intend and agree that:

12.2.1 the employment of the Delayed Employees shall not be transferred by the Seller or another member of the Seller’s Group to a member of the Purchaser’s Group on and from the Closing Date but shall transfer on and from the Delayed Closing Date which relates to the Delayed Vaccines Group Company or Delayed Vaccines Group Business associated with that Delayed Employee;

12.2.2 notwithstanding the intention at paragraph 12.2.1 above, if the contract of employment of any Delayed Employee is found or alleged to have effect at any time prior to the Delayed Closing Date as if originally made with the Purchaser or another member of the Purchaser’s Group (including any Vaccines Group Company) as a consequence of this Agreement, paragraph 3 shall not apply in relation to that Delayed Employee and as a result the parties shall in good faith seek to agree as soon as reasonably practicable how best to deal with such unintended transfer or allegation of transfer having regard to the reason why the individual’s transfer to the Purchaser or another member of the Purchaser’s Group (including any Vaccines Group Company) was delayed but provided that, if the parties are unable to reach such agreement within a reasonable period and if it is

171

agreed that such Delayed Employee’s contract of employment has so transferred, then such Delayed Employee shall be treated from the time he actually became so employed as a “Transferred Employee” (and no longer a Delayed Employee) for the purposes of this Agreement;

12.2.3 no provisions in paragraph 2 shall require the Purchaser or another member of the Purchaser’s Group (including any Vaccines Group Company) to employ, or make an offer to employ, a Delayed Employee, on and from the Closing Date;

12.2.4 paragraph 2.2 shall be amended to the extent required so that it applies to Delayed Business Employees and, in respect of such Delayed Business Employees, references to the “Closing Date” shall be replaced with references to the “Delayed Closing Date which relates to the Delayed Vaccines Group Business associated with that Delayed Employee”;

12.2.5 paragraph 2.3 shall be amended to the extent required so that it applies to Delayed Business Employees and, in respect of such Delayed Business Employees, references to the “Closing Date” or “Closing” shall be replaced with references to the “Delayed Closing Date which relates to the Delayed Vaccines Group Business associated with that Delayed Employee”; and

12.2.6 paragraph 3 shall be amended to the extent required so that it applies on each Delayed Closing Date in respect of any person who is not at that time a Delayed Business Employee or Delayed Company Employee and any references to the “Closing Date” or “Closing” shall be replaced with references to that “Delayed Closing Date”.

12.3 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 12.2 above, the parties agree that each Delayed Employee shall, with effect from and including the Closing Date, be treated for economic purposes as if he is employed by a member of the Purchaser’s Group, and as a consequence will be deemed to be a “Transferred Employee” (meaning that the Purchaser will be economically responsible for all costs and liabilities relating to his employment on and from the Effective Time or termination of his employment on and from the Effective Time) provided that such treatment shall not result, in relation to any Delayed Employee, in any member of the Purchaser’s Group being liable for any costs and liabilities under this Schedule to the extent that any such costs and liabilities arise from (i) any failure by the relevant member of the Seller’s Group prior to a Delayed Employee’s Delayed Closing Date, without good reason, to comply with any Controlled Business Instruction or Seller Involvement Instruction in relation to that Delayed Employee; or (ii) any claim by a Delayed Employee as a result of any breach of contract or Applicable Law by the relevant member of the Seller’s Group (other than in express compliance with any Controlled Business Instruction or Seller Involvement Instruction or as otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the Purchaser) in respect of such Delayed Employee. Any amount payable pursuant to this paragraph 12.3 shall be paid in accordance with Part 4 of Schedule 25, For the avoidance of doubt, no provision of this paragraph 12.3 shall entitle the Seller or any member of the Seller’s Group to recover any amount in respect of any Delayed Employee if that would entitle that Seller or member of the Seller’s Group to recover more than once in respect of the same amount under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

12.4 For the purposes of paragraphs 11.2 and 11.8 above, references to “Closing” and the “Closing Date” shall be construed as references to the relevant Closing, Closing Date or Delayed Closing Date which applies to each of the relevant Transferred Employees.

172

Schedule 12
Employee Benefits
(Clause 2.4.2)

In this Schedule 12:

“Delayed Business Employees” has the meaning given to it in Schedule 11;

“Delayed Company Employees” has the meaning given to it in Schedule 11;

“Delayed Employees” has the meaning given to it in Schedule 11;

“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 (such as Italian TFR) or post-retirement medical benefits or deferred compensation linked to retirement, disability or death benefits or old age part-time benefits (such as German ATZ) and jubilee payments;

“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;

“Purchaser Funding Assumptions” means, in relation to any Transferred Employee Benefits, where a member of the Purchaser’s Group provides, in the same country, a similar or comparable benefit programme to the programme to which the Transferred Employee Benefits relate (regardless of differences in the terms of entitlement of accrual etc), and there is a local obligation or practice prior to the date of this Agreement to pre-fund or externally fund those similar or comparable benefits to a funding target which is determined by reference to a method and assumptions other than IFRS (such as would, for example, be the case in relation to UK HMRC-registered defined benefit pension obligations), then that method and those assumptions as in force in relation to those similar or comparable benefits immediately prior to the date of this Agreement (so, taking the example of UK defined benefit obligations, this would be the method and assumptions used to determine the relevant plan’s technical provisions as at the date of this Agreement — regardless of whether the plan is in fact fully funded on that basis at any relevant time);

“Purchaser IFRS Assumptions” means, in relation to any Transferred Employee Benefits, where a member of the Purchaser’s Group provides, in the same country, a similar or comparable benefit programme to the programme to which the Transferred Employee Benefits relate (regardless of differences in the terms of entitlement of accrual etc), the method and assumptions used most recently prior to the date of this Agreement to value those similar or comparable benefits by the Purchaser’s Group (or any relevant member thereof) for IFRS accounting purposes;

“Seller Funding Assumptions” means, in relation to any Transferred Employee Benefits, if there is a local obligation or practice prior to the date of this Agreement to pre-fund or externally fund those Transferred Employee Benefits to a funding target which is determined by reference to a method and assumptions other than IFRS (such as would, for example, be the case in relation to UK HMRC-registered defined benefit pension obligations), then that method and those assumptions as in force in relation to those Transferred Employee Benefits immediately prior to the date of this Agreement (so, taking the example of UK defined benefit obligations, this would be the method and assumptions used to determine the relevant plan’s technical provisions as at the date of this Agreement — regardless of whether the plan is in fact fully funded on that basis at any relevant time);

173

“Seller IFRS Assumptions” means, in relation to any Transferred Employee Benefits, the method and assumptions used by the Seller’s Group (or the most relevant member thereof) most recently prior to the date of this Agreement to value those Transferred Employee Benefits for IFRS accounting purposes;

“Swiss Actuary” means an actuary: (a) who can reasonably be viewed: (i) as independent of both the Purchaser and the Seller; and (ii) as familiar with Swiss pension issues; and (b) whom the Purchaser and Seller have agreed should be jointly appointed by them for the purposes of determining the Swiss Assumptions or who in default of such agreement has been appointed by the Swiss Association of Actuaries or other industry body of actuaries in Switzerland as agreed by the Seller and the Purchaser;

“Swiss Assets” means cash with a value equal to the aggregate of:

(i) the value of the vested benefits, as at the Effective Time, held by the Swiss Pension Providers on behalf of each Transferred Employee in Switzerland;

multiplied by

“Swiss Assumptions” means, in relation to any Transferred Employee Benefits in Switzerland, the Seller IFRS Assumptions adjusted:

(a) by replacing any assumed “cash balance” annuity conversion rate in the Seller IFRS Assumptions with a conversion rate which the Swiss Actuary certifies to the Purchaser and the Seller as representing a reasonable estimate of the likely effective overall blended conversion rate which will apply in relation to the Transferred Employee Benefits in question, having regard to the changes to the rate which can (having regard to longevity projections, legal and governance constraints around Swiss pension structures and such other matters as the Swiss Actuary considers relevant) in the Swiss Actuary’s opinion reasonably be expected to occur during the expected service lives of the Transferred Employees to whom the Transferred Employee Benefits relate, 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

(b) by removing any reserve for death or disability benefits to the extent that the Swiss Actuary certifies to the Purchaser and the Seller that it constitutes a reserve for liabilities to and in respect of the relevant Transferred Employees which could reasonably be externally insured by the Purchaser without introducing a new ongoing cost on the Purchaser which was not reflected in the Accounts;

“Swiss EB Liabilities” means those of the Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities that are attributable to the Transferred Employees in Switzerland;

“Swiss Employee Benefits” means the benefits to which the Swiss EB Liabilities relate;

“Swiss Pension Providers” means the provider(s) of Swiss Employee Benefits;

174

“Swiss Post-Closing Employers” means the Vaccines Group Companies, and any relevant members of the Purchaser’s Group which employ the Transferred Employees in Switzerland on and from Closing;

“Temporary Participation Plan” means any plan or arrangement (whether funded or unfunded) for the provision of Employee Benefits in which Transferred Employees participate prior to Closing and continue (for any reason, whether by special arrangement as is the case for the Swiss Post-Closing Employers or because they are Delayed Business Employees or Delayed Company Employees, or otherwise) to participate for a temporary period after Closing; and

“Temporary Participation Cessation Date” means, in relation to any Temporary Participation Plan, the date on which Transferred Employees cease to participate in the relevant plan or arrangement.

For the purposes of each of the Purchaser Funding Assumptions, the Purchaser IFRS Assumptions, the Seller Funding Assumptions, the Seller IFRS Assumptions and the Swiss Assumptions, any economic and financial assumptions which are based (whether expressly or implicitly) on yields, rates or indices shall be updated for the purposes of such definitions to take account of those yields, rates or indices as at the Effective Time (or the latest practicable time prior to the Effective Time).

1 Except to the extent otherwise requested by the Seller and expressly agreed by the Purchaser before Closing (such Purchaser agreement not to be unreasonably withheld to the extent that it is not reasonably possible for the Seller or its Affiliates to retain the relevant Employee Benefit Liabilities — for example, where a Vaccines Group Company operates its own standalone arrangement, liability for which cannot lawfully be assumed by another member of the Seller’s Group, or where liability unavoidably transfers by operation of law under European Council Directive 2001/23/EC or its local implementing legislation), any Employee Benefit Liabilities in respect of service in the Vaccines Group or with any member of the Seller’s Group (including any Vaccines Group Company) or in any plan or arrangement in which any member of the Seller’s Group (including any Vaccines Group Company) participates or has participated:

(a) (in the case of a Transferred Employee) prior to Closing; or

(b) (in the case of any other person) at any time,

(together, “Pre-Closing EB Liabilities”) will stay with or be assumed by the Seller or its Affiliates (excluding any Vaccines Group Company) and the Seller shall fully indemnify the Purchaser and its Affiliates and/or any Vaccines Group Company) against any such Employee Benefit Liabilities and against any liabilities and obligations to or in respect of any plan or arrangement for the provision of Employee Benefits in which any member of the Seller’s Group (including any Vaccines Group Company) participates or participated prior to Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser’s agreement under this paragraph 1 may, if the Purchaser so determines, relate only to certain specified categories or tranches of Pre-Closing EB Liabilities under a particular benefit programme (in other words, it does not need to be “all or nothing”), in which case it is only those specified Pre-Closing EB Liabilities which are excluded from the scope of the Purchaser’s indemnity entitlement hereunder.

2 Where and to the extent that the Purchaser agrees under paragraph 1 that any Pre-Closing EB Liabilities may transfer to or remain with the Purchaser and/or its Affiliates and/or any Vaccines Group Company (such Pre-Closing EB Liabilities being the

175

“Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities” and the benefits to which they relate being the “Transferred Employee Benefits”), the Purchaser will be compensated in respect of such Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities as set out in the rest of this Schedule 12. Subject to being so compensated but without prejudice to paragraphs 9 and 11, the Purchaser shall, or shall procure that its relevant Affiliate shall, assume, with a full discharge for the Seller and its Affiliates, the Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities. The Purchaser acknowledges its agreement to the principle that 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; again, therefore, subject to appropriate identification during the period before Closing of such liabilities and to the operation of the compensation mechanism set out in this Schedule 12, they will become Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities.

2A This paragraph 2A applies where there are Transferred Employee Benefits in a Temporary Participation Plan. In such a case, notwithstanding that the Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities may (subject to the Purchaser’s agreement as per 1 above) include liabilities in respect of service after the Effective Time, the Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities which are included in the calculation of the Employee Benefit Indemnification Amount as per paragraph 3 below shall (unless the Seller and the Purchaser agree otherwise in any particular case) comprise only those liabilities attributable to service before the Effective Time. Conversely, although the Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities will not for the purposes of paragraph 1 and 2 above include liabilities in respect of Transferred Employees or other individuals who leave employment or crystallise benefits before the Temporary Participation Cessation Date in relation to the relevant Temporary Participation Plan (unless the Seller and the Purchaser agree otherwise in any particular case and without prejudice to the Purchaser or its Affiliates’ obligation to comply with any requirements in relation to such individuals before they leave employment or crystallise benefits), the parties agree that the calculation of the Employee Benefit Indemnification Amount under paragraph 3 below in relation to any Temporary Participation Plan shall be carried out on the basis of a conclusive presumption (regardless of any actual knowledge to the contrary) that:

2A.1 any individual who is a Delayed Employee on the day after the Closing Date is or will become a Transferred Employee, and

2A.2 no Contingent Individual will leave employment or crystallise benefits before the relevant Temporary Participation Cessation Date. For these purposes a “Contingent Individual” is a Transferred Employee or other individual who on the day after the Closing Date has not left employment or crystallised benefits and in respect of whom liabilities: (a) would become Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities if he does not leave employment or crystallise benefits before the relevant Temporary Participation Cessation Date; but (b) would not otherwise become Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities.

United Kingdom

For the avoidance of doubt, it is also agreed that no UK defined benefit pension liabilities are to be Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities.

176

3 The value of the Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities shall be determined on employee census data and plan provision as at the Effective Time (and making the conclusive presumptions at 2A.1 and 2A.2 above) on:

3.1 in relation to any Transferred Employee Benefits in Switzerland, the Swiss Assumptions; and

3.2 in relation to any other Transferred Employee Benefits, the Seller IFRS Assumptions, PROVIDED that if any of the following values is available and is greater than the value derived using the Seller IFRS Assumptions then that value will be used instead (and if more than one of these values is available then the one which would place the greatest value on the relevant Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities will be used):

3.2.1 if a member of the Purchaser’s Group provides, in the same country, a similar or comparable benefit programme to the programme to which the Transferred Employee Benefits relate (regardless of differences in the terms of entitlement of accrual etc), the value which is midway between the value based on the Seller IFRS Assumptions and the Purchaser IFRS Assumptions;

3.2.2 if there is a local obligation or practice prior to the date of this Agreement to pre-fund or externally fund the Transferred Employee Benefits to a funding target which is determined by reference to a method and assumptions other than IFRS, the value derived using the Seller Funding Assumptions; and

3.2.3 if there is both: (i) a local obligation or practice prior to the date of this Agreement to pre-fund or externally fund the Transferred Employee Benefits to a funding target which is determined by reference to a method and assumptions other than IFRS; and (ii) a member of the Purchaser’s Group provides, in the same country, a similar or comparable benefit programme to the programme to which the Transferred Employee Benefits relate (regardless of differences in the terms of entitlement of accrual etc), the value which is midway between the value based on the Seller Funding Assumptions and the Purchaser Funding Assumptions.

Where there are any Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities which prior to Closing were externally funded by assets held in a trust or other vehicle established for the purposes of meeting such Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities, and the actuary chosen by the Seller and the actuary chosen by the Purchaser agree under paragraph 4 (or it is otherwise determined under paragraph 5) that, having regard to all relevant matters as they subsisted immediately after Closing, it would be reasonable to expect all or part of such assets to be or remain available to the Purchaser or its Affiliates to meet the cost of such Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities (whether by transfer out to another vehicle or because a Vaccines Group Company is expected to remain affiliated to the vehicle on more than a merely temporary basis), then the value as at the Effective Time of the assets which, ignoring matters arising after Closing, the actuaries would expect to be made or remain so available (the “Available Assets”) (including for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of Switzerland, the Swiss Assets to the extent that they are so agreed or determined) as agreed under paragraph 4 or determined under paragraph 5 will be deducted from the value of the Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities, and the remaining value of the Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities (if any) is the “Employee Benefit Indemnification Amount”. The determination of the Employee Benefit Indemnification Amounts shall be carried out on a country-by-country basis and, where necessary, on a plan-by-plan basis.

177

If the Employee Benefit Indemnification Amount for any country (or plan, where applicable) is greater than 95% of the estimate of the Employee Benefit Indemnification Amount for that country (or plan) set out in the Seller’s notification pursuant to Clause 6.4.3 (or, where no such estimate was made, greater than zero), then the Seller shall pay or procure payment, by way of a reduction in the Purchase Price attributable to the relevant Shares or the particular part of the Vaccines Group to which the payment relates, an amount equal to the difference (or, where no such estimate was made, the full Employee Benefit Indemnification Amount for that country (or plan)) to the Purchaser, or at the request of the Purchaser to an Affiliate of the Purchaser, as compensation for the Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities. If the Employee Benefit Indemnification Amount for any country (or plan, where applicable) is less than 95% of the estimate of the Employee Benefit Indemnification Amount for that country (or plan) set out in the Seller’s notification pursuant to Clause 6.4.3 (if any), the Purchaser shall pay an amount equal to the difference to the Seller.

4 The Seller and its Affiliates shall, within 45 days after Closing, provide its actuary, the Swiss Actuary (if relevant) and the actuary chosen by the Purchaser with all relevant plan, asset, assumptions and employee census information needed to calculate the Employee Benefit Indemnification Amounts in respect of any Transferred Employees or Delayed Employees to the extent not otherwise within the control of the Purchaser or its Affiliates (including any Vaccines Group Company). The actuary chosen by the Seller shall provide the actuary chosen by the Purchaser with its calculation of the Employee Benefit Indemnification Amounts (including, but not limited to, any supporting documentation on which it relied as well as the methodologies it employed in calculating the Employee Benefit Indemnification Amounts), on a plan-by-plan basis, within 90 days following Closing. The actuary chosen by the Purchaser shall review the calculation of the Employee Benefit Indemnification Amounts of the Seller’s actuary within 120 days following Closing. The Employee Benefit Indemnification Amounts shall be determined, on a plan-by-plan basis, by mutual agreement between the parties within 180 days following the Closing Date.

5 If the parties cannot agree on any Employee Benefit Indemnification Amount within the 180-day period referred to in paragraph 4, the parties shall appoint within 5 days an independent actuary acceptable to both parties, or such actuary shall be selected by the President of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries in the UK if they cannot agree, and the independent actuary thus appointed shall review their calculations and, within 75 days after appointment, render a final and binding decision on the amount of that Employee Benefit Indemnification Amount, and, in making such decision, shall be limited to adopting the position taken by either one of the parties. The cost of any independent actuary shall be borne jointly by the parties.

6 In connection with the procedures referred to in this Schedule 12, the parties shall provide each other and the actuaries referred to in this Schedule 12 with access to the relevant business records and other relevant documents and information as may reasonably be requested. All documents, records and information provided for the purposes of this Schedule 12 must be accurate and complete in all material respects.

7 Each payment in respect of an Employee Benefit Indemnification Amount shall be made by the Seller (by way of a reduction in the Purchase Price attributable to the relevant Shares or the particular part of the Vaccines Group to which the payment relates) within 14 days following its final determination. The Seller may make an accelerated or advance payment at its own discretion (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes in relation to each

178

Employee Benefit Indemnification Amount so much (if any) of the Estimated Employee Benefit Adjustment as the Seller notified pursuant to Clause 6.4 was intended to relate to that Employee Benefit Indemnification Amount). Each Employee Benefit Indemnification Amount shall include interest calculated from the Effective Time to (and including) the date of payment at a rate per annum of LIBOR (but where amounts are prepaid or paid in stages or treated as paid via inclusion in the Estimated Employee Benefit Adjustment then the interest will cease to accrue on so much of the Employee Benefit Indemnification Amount as has been paid). Such interest shall accrue from day to day. Any such payment shall be made in US dollars (and any underlying values shall be expressed in US dollars) and any currency other than US dollars shall be converted into US dollars at the exchange rates determined in accordance with Clause 1.13 of this Agreement on the Closing Date.

8 To the extent (if any) that there are any Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities which prior to Closing were externally funded by assets held in a trust or other vehicle established for the purposes of meeting such Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities, the Purchaser will, if requested by the Seller before Closing (or the relevant Temporary Participation Cessation Date) and unless it is not reasonably practicable to do so, establish or nominate a trust or other vehicle which is capable of receiving a transfer of assets from the pre-Closing trust or other vehicle to the extent that such assets relate to the Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities.

9 If, within one year of Closing, the Seller or the Purchaser notifies the other that the membership or other benefit data (the “Data”) used for calculating any Employee Benefit Indemnification Amount may be inaccurate, other than by reason of an Excluded Matter, then a “Data Dispute” has arisen and the following provisions shall apply:

9.1 On such notification, the Seller shall procure that its actuary and the Purchaser shall procure that its actuary consult each other with a view to agreeing whether the Data is inaccurate and if so, what the accurate Data should be. If the Seller’s actuary and the Purchaser’s actuary agree that the Data is inaccurate, they will jointly certify this to be the case and advise on what the accurate Data should be. The notification is deemed to have occurred on the date of the certification.

9.2 If the Seller’s actuary and the Purchaser’s actuary fail to agree whether the Data is inaccurate within 60 days of the notification by one party to the other that the Data may be inaccurate, paragraph 5 shall apply mutatis mutandis. The notification is deemed to have occurred when the independent actuary advises that the Data is inaccurate and what the accurate Data should be.

9.3 On the occurrence of the Data Dispute, the Seller and the Purchaser shall respectively procure that a valuation of the relevant Employee Benefit Indemnification Amount is carried out in accordance with paragraphs 3 and 4 (mutatis mutandis) but on the basis of the accurate Data as agreed under paragraph 9.1 or determined under paragraph 9.2.

9.4 If as a consequence of paragraph 9.3, the Seller has paid to the Purchaser an amount which on the basis of the further valuation is not payable, such amount (the “Overpayment”) shall be repaid within 21 days of the amount of the Overpayment being agreed or determined. Any such payment shall bear interest calculated from (and including) the date the Overpayment was made to (and including) the date the payment is made in full in accordance with this paragraph 9.4 at a rate per annum of LIBOR. Such interest shall accrue from day to day.

179

9.5 If as a consequence of paragraph 9.3, the Seller has not paid to the Purchaser an amount which on the basis of the further valuation is payable, such amount (the “Outstanding Amount”) shall be paid within 21 days of the amount of the Outstanding Amount being agreed or determined. Any such payment shall bear interest calculated from (and including) the Closing Date to (and including) the date the payment is made in full in accordance with this paragraph 9.5 at a rate per annum of LIBOR. Such interest shall accrue from day to day.

For the purposes of this paragraph 9, the “Excluded Matters” are:

(i) assets which were assumed to be Available Assets ultimately turning out not to be available to the Purchaser or its Affiliates to meet the cost of the Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities to which they related, and

(ii) liabilities in respect of individuals being assumed to be Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities but turning out not to be because the individuals leave service or crystallise benefits before the date liabilities are transferred.

10 Except as otherwise agreed by the Seller, the Purchaser shall where a trust or other vehicle has been established under paragraph 8, procure that all of the assets transferred as envisaged by paragraph 8 are paid into such trust or other vehicle. If, after such payment or transfer, or after payment of an Employee Benefit Indemnification Amount or after making an Estimated Employee Benefit Adjustment, the Purchaser and/or its Affiliates achieves a reduction in its liability to any Tax in respect of or in connection with the payment or transfer, the Purchaser shall pay to Seller (for itself or on behalf of the relevant Share Seller or Business Seller as applicable), within 30 days after the Purchaser would otherwise have been liable to pay the saved Tax, a sum equal to the amount of that Tax reduction by way of an increase in the Purchase Price in respect of the relevant Shares or the particular part of the Vaccines Group. This paragraph 10 applies for a period of four years following the later of the date on which a transfer of assets is made, or payment of any Employee Benefit Indemnification Amount or Estimated Employee Benefit Adjustment is made to the Purchaser.

11 The Seller covenants with the Purchaser to pay to the Purchaser an amount equal to any cost, claim or liability incurred by any member of the Purchaser’s Group which it is or becomes liable to make on or at any time after Closing by reason of any change or purported change made to the terms of any Transferred Employee Benefits prior to Closing proving to be or have been legally ineffective or by reason of such terms and/or benefits failing to comply with any mandatory legal requirements (excluding any obligation to equalise guaranteed minimum pensions in the United Kingdom). The Seller shall not be liable under this paragraph 11 in respect of any individual claim (or a series of claims arising from similar or identical facts or circumstances) unless the liability in respect of such claim or series of claims exceeds US$100,000. If the Purchaser becomes aware of any fact, matter or circumstance that may give rise to a claim against the Seller under this paragraph 11, the Purchaser shall as soon as reasonably practicable give notice in writing to the Seller of such facts, matters or circumstances as are then available regarding the potential claim. Failure to give such notice within such period shall not affect the rights of the Purchaser to make a relevant claim under this paragraph 11, except that the Seller shall not be liable for any increase in the amount of such claim arising from such failure. The latest date on which the Purchaser may give notice of a claim under this paragraph 11 is the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date.

180

12 Notwithstanding any general provision to the contrary in Schedule 11 and subject to being compensated in accordance with this Schedule 12, the Purchaser shall admit Transferred Employees in the United States who participated in a post-retirement medical plan immediately prior to Closing to its own post-retirement medical plan. Subject to being compensated in accordance with this Schedule 12, 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 the purposes of determining, as applicable, the eligibility for participation, contributions, and vesting for any employee under such post-retirement medical plan.

13 Notwithstanding any general provision to the contrary in Schedule 11, 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 agrees that it will use commercially 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 (i) the Purchaser will not be required to accept any such rollovers that might result in material liability to the Purchaser or may otherwise cause the relevant plan to cease to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code and (ii) the Purchaser will not be required to amend any plan to permit participant loans.

14 The parties agree that where any Transferred Employee has accrued defined contribution benefits prior to Closing in a Seller’s Group arrangement then:

14.1 the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to procure the vesting of those benefits (if they would otherwise lapse as a result of Closing);

14.2 the parties shall, provided this will not impose unreasonable administrative burdens on the Purchaser’s Group, co-operate in good faith to procure a transfer of the account balances of such Transferred Employee from the Seller’s Group arrangement to a Purchaser’s Group arrangement; and

14.3 for the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser will comply with the provisions of paragraph 6.1 of Schedule 11.

Switzerland: temporary period of participation

15 The Seller and Purchaser shall use all reasonable endeavours to procure that, with effect from Closing, the Swiss Post-Closing Employers shall be admitted to participate in the relevant plans operated by the Swiss Pension Providers, to enable the Swiss Post-Closing Employers to continue to provide Swiss Employee Benefits to, and in respect of, the Transferred Employees in Switzerland for the period from Closing up to 31 December 2015 or such earlier date as the Swiss Pension Providers may permit under their temporary affiliation agreements with the Swiss Post-Closing Employers.

16 The Purchaser shall use all reasonable endeavours to procure that the Swiss Post-Closing Employers shall each enter into a temporary affiliation agreement with the board of trustees of the Swiss Pension Providers on such terms as the Seller and the Purchaser may have agreed prior to Closing.

181

17 The Seller and the Purchaser agree that, if, during the period on and from the Effective Time up to and including the Temporary Participation Cessation Date in relation to the plans operated by the Swiss Pension Providers, there is underperformance in the investment returns achieved in respect of the assets held by the Swiss Pension Providers in respect of the Transferred Employees in Switzerland who are cash balance members (so that the assets are not sufficient to provide the mandatory 1.5% p.a interest rate accrual), then there may be payment due from the Swiss Post-Closing Employers to the Swiss Pension Providers in accordance with the terms of the relevant affiliation agreement. If such a payment is demanded by the Swiss Pension Providers, then the Seller undertakes to pay to the Purchaser 50% of the amount demanded from the Purchaser or any Affiliate (including without limitation a Swiss Post-Closing Employer) to the Swiss Pension Providers within 14 days of being notified of such demand. The Purchaser shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, pay (or procure that its Affiliate pays) any such amount received from the Seller to the Swiss Pension Providers, to the extent that the amount is still owed to the Swiss Pension Providers by the Purchaser or its Affiliate.

Other jurisdictions: temporary periods of participation

18 The Seller and Purchaser may agree that an employing entity in the Purchaser’s Group shall be admitted to participate, for a temporary period with effect from Closing, in one or more Employee Benefit plans operated by a member of the Seller’s Group, or in which a member of the Seller’s Group participates.

19 In such event, the Seller and Purchaser shall use all reasonable endeavours to enter into an agreement with the provider or board of trustees of the relevant Employee Benefit plan on such terms as the provider or board of trustees may reasonably require.

Specific assurance in relation to plans operated by Swiss Pension Providers

20 The Seller warrants to the Purchaser that, assuming the Temporary Participation Cessation Date is on or before 31 December 2015, the regulations governing the plans operated by the Swiss Pension Providers would oblige the Swiss Pension Providers to transfer to the replacement pension arrangement put in place for the Transferred Employees, in addition to amounts calculated as at Closing in respect of benefits accrued to that date, the contributions paid after the Effective Time in respect of the retirement accounts of the Transferred Employee by the employees or their employers. For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller gives no warranty as to whether the Swiss Pension Providers will comply with this obligation.

Jubilee payments

21 For the purposes of calculating the amount of jubilee payments and long service awards falling within the definition of “Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities” the following principles shall apply:

21.1 in relation to Vaccines Group Company Employees, liabilities to make jubilee payments and grant long service awards will be treated as falling within Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities and shall be calculated on the basis of the value of such liabilities determined in accordance with the preceding provisions of this Schedule;

21.2 in relation to Vaccines Business Employees in respect of whom each of the following applies:

182

21.2.1 liabilities to make jubilee payments or grant long service awards transfer to a member of the Purchaser’s Group by operation of law; and

21.2.2 the relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group replicates or will replicate the benefits which applied while they were employees of the Seller’s Group,

liabilities to make jubilee payments or grant long service awards will be treated as falling within the Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities and shall be calculated on the basis of the benefit scales which applied while the Vaccines Business Employees were employees of the Seller’s Group;

21.3 in relation to Vaccines Business Employees for whom either:

21.3.1 liabilities to make jubilee payments or grant long service awards do not transfer by operation of law but the relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group provides or will provide replacement benefits which replicate the benefits provided by the Seller’s Group); or

21.3.2 the relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group provides or will provide replacement jubilee or long service benefits but does not or will not replicate the benefits which applied while they were employees of the Seller’s Group,

21.4 for the avoidance of doubt, no amount will be included within “Transferred Employee Benefit Liabilities” in respect of jubilee payments or long service awards in relation to Vaccines Business Employees for whom liabilities to make such payments or grant such awards do not transfer by operation of law and no replacement benefits are provided by any member of the Purchaser’s Group;

21.5 the Purchaser and the Seller will negotiate in good faith with a view to agreeing an appropriate and simple method in each jurisdiction for valuing jubilee payments and long service awards which are not disproportionate to the amounts of such payments but which is suitably even-handed as between the parties. Any such agreement will override the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 21 to the extent there is any inconsistency.

183

Schedule 13
Allocation of Purchase Price
(Clauses 3.3 and 7.6)

1 The Seller and the Purchaser agree that the Purchase Price (and any adjustments thereto) and the Assumed Liabilities shall be allocated for Tax purposes among the Shares and the Vaccines Group Businesses in accordance with Applicable Law (the “Allocation”).

1 Prior to the Closing Date and subject always to paragraph 1, the Seller and the Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to reach an agreement as to the Allocation of the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities including by ascribing a value to that part of the Vaccines Group comprising the Products Encepur and Ixiaro (which, if disposed of by the Seller’s Group prior to the Closing Date shall be the amount payable by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to Clause 3.6.1) to the Shares, and to any Vaccines Group Businesses that are subject to transfer Taxes or VAT, or where a valuation of a particular Vaccines Group Business prior to Closing is otherwise required by Applicable Law (each a “Required Item”).

2 Failing agreement between the parties on the Allocation in respect of any Required Item in accordance with this Schedule 13, the Allocation shall be determined by the Reporting Accountants on the application of the Seller or the Purchaser. Paragraphs 1.6 to 1.12 of Part 1 of Schedule 16 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the engagement and determination of the Reporting Accountants pursuant to this paragraph 2.

3 The Seller and the Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to further allocate the Purchase Price and Assumed Liabilities among the Vaccines Group Businesses for which an allocation was not agreed prior to Closing within 90 calendar days after the Closing Date. If the Seller and the Purchaser reach written agreement within such 90 day period, the Allocation, as so amended, shall become binding upon the Seller and the Purchaser as the “Final Allocation Schedule”.

4 The Seller and the Purchaser shall, and shall procure that each of their Affiliates will, file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Final Allocation Schedule, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, and shall take no position inconsistent with the Final Allocation Schedule in any proceedings before any Governmental Entity or otherwise.

5 If the Seller and the Purchaser are unable to agree to an Allocation pursuant to paragraph 4, the matter shall be determined by the Reporting Accountants on the application of the Seller or the Purchaser. Paragraphs 1.6 to 1.12 of Part 1 of Schedule 16 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the engagement and determination of the Reporting Accountants pursuant to this paragraph 5.

184

Schedule 14
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 Vaccines 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.

2 VAT: Going Concern - EU Member States

2.1 The Seller and the Purchaser shall use reasonable endeavours (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the making of an election or application in respect of VAT to any Tax Authority or entering into a written agreement) to secure that, to the extent reasonably possible, the sale of all or any part of the Vaccines Group Businesses, so far as carried on in the European Union, is treated as neither a supply of goods nor a supply of services for the purposes of the laws governing VAT in each relevant member state.

2.2 Each Business Seller shall have the right to seek a ruling from the relevant Tax Authority as to whether the sale of all or part of the Vaccines Group Businesses, so far as carried on in the relevant member state, should be treated as neither a supply of goods nor a supply of services for the purposes of the laws governing VAT in that member state and to account for VAT (and accordingly to seek an additional payment from the Purchaser under Clause 3.4.2) in accordance with that ruling. The Seller shall not be obliged to challenge (or to procure that any relevant Business Seller challenges) that ruling unless required to do so by the Purchaser. If the Purchaser wishes to challenge, or to require the relevant Business Seller to challenge, any such ruling it may do so, provided that it bears the full cost of, and agrees to indemnify the relevant Business Seller in respect of any loss arising from or in connection with, that challenge and that such challenge shall not affect the date on which VAT must be paid to the Seller under paragraph 4 below.

2.3 Insofar as no ruling has been obtained from a relevant Tax Authority prior to Closing, the Seller shall determine in good faith if (or the extent to which) VAT is payable in respect of the sale of the Vaccines Group Businesses and shall be entitled to charge (or not to charge) VAT to the Purchaser in accordance with such determination.

185

3 VAT: Going Concern - non-EU Jurisdictions

3.1 To the extent that any state outside the European Union provides for relief or exemption from VAT on the transfer of a business or a company or treats such a transaction as being non-taxable for VAT purposes, the Seller and the Purchaser shall, use reasonable endeavours (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the making of an election or application in respect of VAT to any Tax Authority or entering into a written agreement) to secure such relief, exemption or treatment, to the extent reasonably possible, as regards the sale of all or part of the Vaccines Group Businesses (insofar as the business of the Vaccines Group is carried on in the relevant state) under this Agreement.

3.2 The relevant Business Seller shall have the right to seek a ruling from the relevant Tax Authority as to whether the sale of all or part of the Vaccines Group Businesses, so far as the business of the Vaccines Group is carried on in the relevant state, is eligible for a relief or exemption or is otherwise eligible to be treated as non-taxable for the purposes of the laws governing VAT in that state and to account for VAT and accordingly seek an additional payment from the Purchaser under Clause 3.4.2) in accordance with that ruling. The Seller shall not be obliged to challenge (or to procure then the relevant Business Seller challenges) that ruling unless required to do so by the Purchaser. If the Purchaser wishes to challenge, or to require the relevant Business Purchaser to challenge, any ruling it may do so, provided that it bears the full cost of, and agrees to indemnify the relevant Business Seller in respect of any loss arising from or in connection with, that challenge and that such challenge shall not affect the date on which VAT must be paid to the Seller under paragraph 4 below. Insofar as no ruling has been obtained from a relevant Tax Authority prior to Closing, the Seller shall determine in good faith if (or the extent to which) VAT is payable in respect of the sale of the Vaccines Group Businesses and shall be entitled to charge (or not to charge) VAT to the Purchaser in accordance with such determination.

4 VAT: Time, Manner and Currency of Payment

4.1 Any amounts which the Purchaser is obliged to pay to the Seller under this Agreement in respect of VAT shall be paid by the Purchaser, on its own account or on behalf of another member of the Purchaser’s Group, to the Seller or to such member of the Seller’s Group as the Seller may direct. Such amounts shall be paid in the currency in which the VAT in question must be accounted for to the relevant Tax Authority.

4.2 Subject to any provision or express agreement to the contrary (including the terms of any Ancillary Agreements or other agreements entered into between members of the Seller’s Group and members of the Purchaser’s Group in respect of the provision of transitional services dealing with payments of amounts in respect of VAT arising in connection with the supply of goods or services to members of the Purchaser’s Group at Closing), any amounts in respect of VAT payable in any jurisdiction in respect of the transfer at Closing of any of the Vaccines Group Businesses or Shares shall be paid in accordance with paragraph 4.1 above at Closing against production of a valid VAT invoice (or equivalent, if any).

4.3 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall not be liable to account to the Seller or any member of the Seller’s Group for or in respect of penalties or interest arising solely from the failure of the Seller or any other member of the Seller’s Group to account promptly for VAT to the relevant Tax Authority following the Seller having been placed in the appropriate amount of funds for that purpose by the Purchaser.

Statement of Net Assets

Part 1 of Schedule 23 comprises the Statement of Net Assets Rules.

Part 2 of Schedule 23 sets forth, for illustrative purposes only, a computation of the Statement of Net Assets as of the close of business on 31 December 2013 (the “Statement of Net Assets”).

1 Preparation of the Statement of Net Assets

1.1 Period

The Statements of Net Assets is prepared as of the close of business on the final day of the relevant calendar month.

1.2 Translation of Reporting Entity’s Statements of Net Assets

A reporting entity reports in local currency. All reports are translated into US dollars by the Seller for reporting purposes. The Statement of Net Assets is translated with the period-end exchange rates which are the rates provided by Novartis Group Treasury and are based on Bloomberg’s mid-morning CET exchange rates and are published in the Group Treasury section of the Novartis intranet.

1.3 Novartis Reporting System and Materiality:

1.3.1 Financial information is obtained from the Financial Consolidation & Reporting System of Novartis and the supporting general ledgers are prepared in accordance with Novartis’ Accounting Manual (the “NAM”). The Financial Consolidation & Reporting System is the system of record for Novartis external reporting. References in the Statement of Net Assets included as part 2 of this Schedule 23 shown as “BS01 lines 010-671” relate to the groupings shown in Novartis’ monthly reporting form “BS01 — Balance sheet”.

1.3.2 For the Seller’s reporting purposes, the financial reporting of a legal entity is separated into a divisional part, which includes operating items and a corporate part, which mainly captures the amounts related to taxes, post-employment benefit obligations and most of the financial assets and liabilities. The Statement of Net Assets contains the business of the Vaccines division (including the Influenza Business) as included in Novartis’ segment reporting (column C - “Vaccines Divisional Reported Statement of Net Assets”), and items of the corporate Statement of Net Assets for the Vaccines Group Companies (Column D — “Vaccines Statement of Net Assets of the Corporate part of the Vaccines Group Companies” and items related to the Statement of Net Assets for the Novartis Vaccines Institute for Global Health (column E — “Statement of Net Assets of the part of Novartis Vaccines Institute for Global Health”) as well as adjustments for certain items which are either excluded from or added to the transaction (columns F -”Excluded items”). A US$10 million threshold was applied. Column H shows the impact of the Influenza Business which is excluded from the transaction. For the purpose of the carve out of the Influenza Business allocations have been made

231

based on management’s best estimate of the contribution of the Influenza Business. For Receivables own BU (BS01_130) and Payables own BU (BS01_620) items related to the entity in Liverpool, which will not transfer have been added back into the statement of net assets. For other entities amounts related to the Influenza Business have not been added back in as they are offsetting each other. Payables and Receivables to Other BU’s related to the Influenza Business have been left in the statement of net assets as they are not expected to be material on a net basis. A materiality threshold of US$ 50million applies to the Influenza Business.

1.3.3 The Statement of Net Assets has been prepared as follows:

(i) in accordance with the specific accounting treatments set out below; and, subject thereto,

(ii) adopting the same accounting principles, methods, procedures and practices utilized in preparing the consolidated financial statements of Novartis AG as described in the Novartis Accounting Manual applied on a consistent basis using consistent estimation methodologies and judgments and with consistent classifications and, subject thereto,

(iii) in accordance with IFRS.

1.3.4 For the avoidance of doubt, paragraph 1.3.3(i) shall take precedence over paragraphs 1.3.3(ii) and 1.3.3(iii), and paragraph 1.3.3(ii) shall take precedence over paragraph 1.3.3(iii).

2.4 Current Liabilities:

2.4.1 Trade payables (BS01_610)

An amount of US$11 million included in this line relates to the construction of the plant in Pernambuco, Brazil which will not be transferred and has therefore been excluded (as reflected in Column F) from the Statement of Net Assets.

2.4.2 Payables own BU (BS01_620)

Column C of the Statement of Net Assets represents payables against other entities within the Vaccines division, which are offset by an equivalent amount in the line Receivables own BU. These amounts have been eliminated in the Statement of Net Assets.

2.4.3 Payables own BU — Corporate (BS01_620)

Column D of the Statement of Net Assets represents payables against other Vaccines Group Companies as well as payables against other members of the Seller’s Group. The corporate payables against Vaccines Group Companies have been eliminated in Column F of the Statement of Net Assets.

Payables recognized on this line are due to members of the Sellers’ Group, except for a payable recognized by the Vaccines Institute for Global Health, which is owed to a Vaccines Group Company and has therefore been eliminated.

An amount of US$35 million is related to short term liabilities of the divested Diagnostics business, which did not transfer to the purchaser of this Diagnostics business. They are excluded from the Statement of Net Assets (as reflected in Column F) as they do not relate to the activities of the Vaccines Group. Furthermore, an amount of US$3 million relates to the construction of the plant in Pernambuco, Brazil, which will not be transferred and has therefore also been excluded (as reflected in Column F) from the Statement of Net Assets. An amount of US$1 million relates to legal fees for litigation not related to the Vaccines Group.

2.4.6 Accrued share-based payments (BS01_671)

A liability for share-based compensation is recognized to reflect Novartis’ internal charge-out mechanism for its equity-settled share-based compensation plans.

This liability has been excluded (as reflected in Column F) and is not reflected in the Statement of Net Assets.

Management and control

3.1 To the maximum extent permissible by Applicable Law, and the terms of any Product Approvals and Product Applications, the parties intend that, pursuant to this Schedule, all management and control rights and powers that the Seller (or any member of the Seller’s Group) has in relation to a Controlled Delayed Business shall transfer to the Purchaser with effect from Closing and, accordingly, that the Purchaser shall consolidate the Controlled Delayed Businesses into its accounts with effect therefrom in accordance with its accounting policies as applied from the Closing Date.

3.2 As soon as reasonably practicable after Closing, the Purchaser shall notify the Seller of the names of its personnel permitted to provide Controlled Business Instructions (“Instructing Personnel”) and the Seller shall be entitled to rely on and act in accordance with Controlled Business Instructions from Instructing Personnel without further verification. Instructions provided by or on behalf of the Purchaser shall not be required to be in writing if they are provided by the Instructing Personnel. The Purchaser shall be free to change its

3.4.2 comply with the provisions of Schedule 8 in relation to Product Approvals and Product Applications relating to the Controlled Delayed Business;

3.4.3 except to the extent otherwise instructed by the Purchaser’s Instructing Personnel in accordance with this paragraph 3.4 or as required by Schedule 8, ensure that the Controlled Delayed Business is carried on in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice in relation to that Controlled Delayed Business; and

(i) make any distribution, dividend or any return of value to any member of the Seller’s Group (whether in cash or in kind) or any return of capital (whether by reduction of capital or redemption or purchase of shares) other than dividends in the ordinary course of the business consistent with past practice; or

(ii) take any action which results in a reduction in its dividend capacity (other than the incurrence of trading losses in the ordinary course of business); or

240

(iii) make or incur any Liability to make any payment to, or enter into any transaction with, any member of the Seller’s Group other than with the consent of the Purchaser or in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements; or

(v) permit any waiver, deferral or release by any Delayed Vaccines Group Company of any amount or obligation owed or due to such Delayed Vaccines Group Company; or

(vi) permit any guarantee, indemnity or security to be provided by any Delayed Vaccines Group Company in respect of the obligations or liabilities of the Seller or any of its Affiliates,

and provided that the Seller shall not be required, pursuant to any Controlled Business Instruction, to take any action (or omit to take any action) in relation to any of its business (or the business of the Seller’s Group) that is not a Controlled Delayed Business.

3.5 The Seller shall indemnify on demand and hold harmless the Purchaser against and in respect of any and all Liabilities of the Purchaser’s Group and any Delayed Vaccines Group Company arising directly or indirectly as a result of any breach of paragraph 3.4.4 above and, for the avoidance of doubt, any such liability shall not constitute an Assumed Liability for the purposes of this Agreement.

3.6 The provisions of Clause 5 and Schedule 20 shall not apply in respect of any Controlled Delayed Business following Closing and the provisions of Clause 13.1 shall not apply in respect of any Delayed Business following Closing.

3.7 The Purchaser shall (or shall procure that its Affiliates shall) supply such assistance and access (including the supply of products, the supply of services and access to Transferred Books and Records and Commercial Information, but excluding any access to Intellectual Property Rights except as referred to in paragraph 3.8 below) as shall be reasonably necessary to allow the Seller to operate each Controlled Delayed Business in accordance with this Schedule.

3.8 The Purchaser shall (or shall procure that its Affiliates shall) grant the Seller from Closing a non-exclusive, fully paid up, royalty free and sub-licensable licence or sub-licence (as applicable) to use, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, the Vaccines Group Intellectual Property Rights and Intellectual Property Rights licensed to the Purchaser (and its Affiliates) under any Ancillary Agreement (except the Purchaser Intellectual Property Licence Agreement) for the sole purpose of operating each Delayed Business in accordance with the provisions of this Schedule 25.

3.9 Delayed Employees who are engaged in a Controlled Delayed Business shall report to the management of the Purchaser and shall be treated for such management and reporting purposes in the same way as any employee of the Purchaser’s Group. Controlled

241

Business Instructions may, accordingly, be given by the Instructing Personnel directly to any Delayed Employee engaged in a Controlled Delayed Business.

3.10 To the extent that the implementation of any Controlled Business Instruction requires an action or actions of a person employed by the Seller but who is not a Delayed Employee (whether because Applicable Law prevents such Controlled Business Instruction from being given directly to a Delayed Employee or for any other reason) (a “Seller Involvement Instruction”), the Seller shall also provide the Controlled Business Instruction, in writing (which may include email), to the Seller’s Delayed Business Representative specifying (i) that it is a Seller Involvement Instruction; (ii) the actions that are required to be taken by such person; and (iii) a reasonable time within which such actions are required to be taken.

3.11 The Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge that the Delayed Employees shall continue to be bound by, and shall comply with, the employment policies and procedures (including terms and conditions and disciplinary procedures) of the Seller’s Group that apply to employees of the Seller’s Group.

3.12 Subject to paragraph 3.11, the Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge that Delayed Employees shall continue to be bound by and shall comply with the policies of the Seller’s Group provided that:

3.12.1 from the date on which the relevant Delayed Employees are given reasonable notice of the relevant restrictions and anti-bribery and corruption policies, Delayed Employees engaged the Delayed Business in China shall be bound by and shall comply with any additional restrictions imposed on commercial practices and anti-bribery and corruption policies that the Purchaser’s Group implements and which apply to employees of the Purchaser’s Group in China including (but not limited to) its policy related to payments to health care providers and such other policies as may be required by Applicable Law from time to time;

3.12.2 [***]; and

3.12.3 the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with copies of its operational and other policies that apply in relation to Controlled Delayed Businesses. In respect of such policies, the Purchaser may give notice to the Seller that it wishes a particular policy of the Purchaser’s Group to apply in respect of a Controlled Delayed Business and/or the relevant Delayed Employees in place of the equivalent Seller’s policy. The Purchaser’s equivalent policy shall apply to the relevant Delayed Employees from the date on which such Delayed Employees are given reasonable notice of the relevant policy. If the Seller’s and the Purchaser’s policies apply at the same time, if and to the extent that there is any inconsistency or conflict between the two policies, the policy which requires behaviour that is likely to expose the parties to the smallest amount of legal, regulatory and/or compliance risk shall prevail.

3.13 The Purchaser hereby undertakes to the Seller (for itself and on behalf of each other member of the Seller’s Group (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Delayed Vaccines Group Companies) and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (excluding any Delayed Employees) (the “Delayed Indemnity Parties”) that, with effect from the Effective Time, the Purchaser will indemnify on demand and hold harmless each of the Delayed Indemnity Parties against and in respect of any and all Liabilities, other than Liabilities in respect of Tax that are taken into account in calculating any Profit Payment

242

resulting directly or indirectly from any Controlled Delayed Business and/or from any Controlled Business Instruction to the extent that (i) such Liabilities are not Assumed Liabilities and (ii) the Controlled Delayed Indemnity Parties concerned would not have incurred such Liabilities if the Controlled Delayed Business in question had been transferred to the relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group at Closing (“Incremental Delay Liabilities”), but in any case excluding any such Liabilities to the extent they arise from a breach by the Seller under paragraph 3.16.

3.14 If the Seller is of the opinion that any Controlled Business Instruction may result in any Liability that would fall to be indemnified pursuant to paragraph 3.13 above, the Seller shall use its reasonable endeavours to inform (and procure that the members of the Seller’s Group shall inform) the Purchaser of that opinion and the reasons for it as soon as reasonably practicable after reaching that opinion. The indemnity set out in paragraph 3.13 above shall not be affected or limited in any way by any failure of any member of the Seller’s Group to so inform the Purchaser.

3.15 The Purchaser shall not be entitled to make any claim for damages against the Seller in respect of a breach of paragraph 3.4 otherwise than pursuant to a claim brought under paragraph 3.16.

3.16 Each Seller shall procure that:

3.16.1 in respect of Controlled Business Instructions that are not Seller Involvement Instructions, neither it nor any of its Associated Persons shall act (or fail to act) fraudulently or with Gross Negligence in connection with the implementation of any Controlled Business Instruction. “Gross Negligence” for these purposes means any act or failure to act by the Seller (or any of its Associated Persons that: (i) the Seller (or the relevant Associated Person) knew may create a risk of material harm to the relevant Delayed Business; (ii) was intended to cause such harm, or was done in reckless disregard of, or in wanton indifference to, such risk of harm; and (iii) in all the circumstances (having regard to both the probability and seriousness of such harm) was an unreasonable risk for the Seller (or the relevant Associated Person) to take; and

3.16.2 in respect of Seller Involvement Instructions, neither it nor any of its Associated Persons shall act (or fail to act) fraudulently or negligently or in wilful default in connection with the implementation of the Seller Involvement Instruction and shall take no steps which are intended to have the effect of preventing this implementation of a Seller Involvement Instruction,

provided that it shall not be a breach of this paragraph 3.16 (and shall accordingly not be acting with Gross Negligence or wilful default for the purposes of this paragraph) to carry out any act, or fail to act, if to do so is:

3.16.3 required to implement a Controlled Business Instruction;

3.16.4 required to comply with any Applicable Law;

3.16.5 required to implement or comply with the terms of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; or

3.16.6 taken to mitigate any other loss or damage to the Controlled Delayed Business which the Seller (or the relevant Associated Person) believes, acting reasonably

243

and in good faith, could be material in the context of that Controlled Delayed Business.

In any event, no claim shall be made by the Purchaser (and the Purchaser shall ensure that no member of the Purchaser’s Group shall make any claim) for any breach of any other provisions of this Agreement (or the provisions of any Ancillary Agreement) by the Seller (or any member of the Seller’s Group) that occurs in order to comply with any Controlled Business Instruction.

3.17 Prior to the making of any claim under this Schedule 25 in respect of any matter, the parties shall use reasonable endeavours to escalate such matter first for consideration to the Delayed Business Representatives and then to the Purchaser’s and the Seller’s chief financial officers, for the purpose of seeking to resolve such matter within a period of 30 days following such escalation.

3.18 Subject in each case to Applicable Law, the Seller shall, in the period between Closing and the relevant Delayed Closing Date, promptly upon request by the Purchaser provide (or procure that any member of its Group shall provide) the Purchaser and its representatives with access to:

3.18.1 any books and records of the Seller’s Group to the extent relating to any Controlled Delayed Business of the Seller; and

3.18.2 any personnel of the Seller for the purposes of any requests for information from such personnel in relation to the Controlled Delayed Business.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties shall take all steps necessary to ensure that no information is provided to the Purchaser or any person on behalf of the Purchaser which relates to any business of the Seller or any member of the Seller’s Group other than the Controlled Delayed Business.

3.19 For the purposes of the Warranties deemed repeated by the Seller immediately before Closing pursuant to Clause 10.1.5, ownership of the Delayed Businesses shall be deemed to have transferred to the Purchaser at Closing.

3.20 During the period between the Closing Date and the Delayed Closing Date, funding for Delayed Businesses shall continue to be provided by the Seller’s Group, save that in the event that any Delayed Business requires funds (for the purposes of working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditure or otherwise) during such period, in excess of US$10 million and the Delayed Business does not have the required funding in place (including through any cash pooling arrangements), then such funds shall promptly be provided by the Purchaser, on such terms as the Seller and the Purchaser shall agree, acting reasonably, having regard to, amongst other things, the Tax effects of such funding.

Non-Controlled Delayed Businesses

3.21 From Closing until the relevant Delayed Closing Date:

3.21.1 the provisions of paragraph 3 of this Schedule shall not apply in respect of the Non-Controlled Delayed Businesses, with the exception of paragraphs 3.4.4, 3.5, 3.11, 3.18, 3.19 and 3.20 which shall apply if and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law;

3.21.2 subject to paragraph 3.22, the provisions of paragraph 4 of this Schedule shall not apply in respect of the Non-Controlled Delayed Businesses; and

244

3.21.3 if and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the provisions of Clause 5 and Schedule 20 will continue to apply to the Non-Controlled Delayed Businesses and each Seller shall exercise such interests, rights and powers that such Seller has in respect of that Non-Controlled Delayed Business to the maximum extent that it is able in order to procure that the Non-Controlled Business is operated in accordance with Clause 5 and Schedule 20.

3.22 With effect from the relevant Delayed Closing Date, the provisions of paragraph 4 of this Schedule shall apply in respect of the Non-Controlled Delayed Businesses, save that the first Half Yearly Accounting Period shall be extended so that it commences at the Effective Time and ends on the relevant Delayed Closing Date.

3.23 From Closing until 31 March 2015, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with such assistance and information to which it does not otherwise have access as it reasonably requests in order for it to be able to calculate the necessary receivables to be recorded in respect of any payments that may be made under paragraph 3.23, including, such monthly profit and loss forecast information as already exists and is reasonably available to the Seller or its Affiliates in relation to the Non-Controlled Delayed Businesses for the period up to the estimated relevant Delayed Closing Date.

4 Economic Benefit Transfer

Economic benefit

4.1 The Seller shall comply with the provisions of this Part 4, in relation to any Delayed Business (other than in relation to a Delayed Vaccines Group Company in respect of which only paragraph 4.2 of this Schedule will apply), for each Half-Yearly Accounting Period in which such Delayed Business remains legally owned by it or any member of the Seller’s Group. The first Half-Yearly Accounting Period for which the provisions of this Part 4 shall be extended so that it commences at the Effective Time and shall end on 31 December 2015.

4.2 Within 45 days of the relevant Delayed Closing Date for any Delayed Vaccines Group Company, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with a cash flow statement (including opening and closing balances for cash and cash equivalents, and payables and receivables that would have fallen within the definitions of Intra-Group Non-Trade Receivables and Intra-Group Non-Trade Payables) for such Delayed Vaccines Group Company for the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the Delayed Closing Date prepared using the Accounting Standards.

4.3 Within one month following the end of each Half-Yearly Accounting Period, the Seller shall produce and provide to the internal audit team of the Purchaser (or, at the Purchaser’s discretion, the external auditors) (the “Audit Team”) a draft statement setting out, for each Delayed Business that had not transferred to the Purchaser by the start of that Half-Yearly Accounting Period, the Economic Benefit Amount in respect of such Delayed Business for such Half-Yearly Accounting Period (or, if applicable, such part of the Half-Yearly Accounting Period as falls prior to the Delayed Closing Date for such Delayed Business). Each such statement shall be a “Draft Economic Benefit Statement”.

4.4 It is intended that the Economic Benefit Amount shown in each Economic Benefit Statement is the amount that is necessary to be paid to the Purchaser by the Seller or by the Seller to the Purchaser, in order to put the Purchaser’s Group and the Seller’s Group in the same economic position as they would have been in, taking into account any

245

arrangements that would have been in place in respect of the relevant Delayed Businesses pursuant to any Ancillary Agreement, had such Delayed Businesses been transferred to the Purchaser at Closing before taking account, in each case, of any Tax effect for the Purchaser or the Seller in respect of such payment (the “Economic Benefit Objective”).

4.5 In the period prior to 31 December 2015, the Seller and the Purchaser shall meet together to consider in good faith whether there are any adjustments required to the provisions of Part 5 of this Schedule in order for the Economic Benefit Statements to achieve the Economic Benefit Objective and (acting reasonably and in good faith) seek to agree such adjustments.

4.6 The portion of the Economic Benefit Amount set out in the Draft Economic Benefit Statement in relation to each Delayed Business shall be calculated in the local currency for that Delayed Business but any Economic Benefit Payment shall be paid pursuant to paragraph 4.15 or 4.16 of this Schedule in pounds sterling, for which purpose each amount in a currency other than pounds sterling shall be converted into pounds sterling at the spot reference rate for those currencies as quoted by the European Central Bank (or if there is no such rate, as quoted by the nearest equivalent institution) on the Business Day immediately prior to the relevant payment date and the sum of such converted sterling amounts shall be the Economic Benefit Payment amount. The calculation of the Economic Benefit Amount set out in an Economic Benefit Statement shall only be converted into pounds sterling in accordance with this paragraph 4.6 and aggregated after the Economic Benefit Statement has been agreed or determined in accordance with this Part 4.

4.7 The Seller shall, and shall procure that the members of the Seller’s Group (and, if applicable, its external accountants) shall, provide to the Audit Team, without charge, such access to their personnel, books and records, calculations and working papers as the Audit Team may reasonably request in connection with its review of the Draft Economic Benefit Statement (and the parties acknowledge that local market information that is not contained on central consolidation systems will only be requested where material in the context of the Draft Economic Benefit Statement as a whole), subject (where applicable) to the Purchaser providing such undertakings as the relevant external accountants may reasonably request, and provided that the Seller hereby undertakes to the Purchaser that it shall procure that each member of its Audit Team shall (i) keep any such information which is commercially sensitive (the “Protected Information”) confidential and shall only disclose such information to, and discuss such information with, other members of that Audit Team; (ii) be expressly prohibited from communicating (in any form) any Protected Information to any other employee, agent, adviser or consultant of any member of the Purchaser’s Group; and (iii) be subject to the above requirements whilst employed or engaged by any member of the Purchaser’s Group in any capacity (whether or not as a member of that Audit Team). The provisions of Clause 14 (Confidentiality) of this Agreement shall apply mutatis mutandis to such information including, for the avoidance of doubt, to allow (where permitted by that clause) disclosure of information otherwise prohibited to be communicated to any agent, adviser or consultant of any party’s Group.

4.8 No amendments shall be made to any Draft Economic Benefit Statement except in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 4.9 below.

4.9 The Audit Team may dispute a Draft Economic Benefit Statement by notice in writing (in this Schedule, a “Dispute Notice”) delivered to the Seller by or on behalf of that Audit Team in accordance with Clause 17.11 (Notices) of this Agreement within 3 weeks following receipt of the Draft Economic Benefit Statement. Any Dispute Notice shall specify

246

(i) which items of the Draft Economic Benefit Statement are disputed; (ii) the reasons therefor, making specific reference (where relevant and reasonably possible) to the parts of this Schedule which the Audit Team asserts have not been complied with in preparing the relevant statement; and (iii) to the extent practicable, any adjustments that the Audit Team considers should be made to the Draft Economic Benefit Statement, and provided that a Dispute Notice may only be submitted if the aggregate impact of all disputed items comprised in that Economic Benefit Amount are greater than £500,000.

4.10 Any Dispute Notice shall be accompanied by all relevant supporting documentation and working papers on which the Audit Team wishes to rely, it being acknowledged by the Purchaser that it shall procure that its Audit Team shall provide further documentation to support its claims promptly on reasonable request by the Seller or, where relevant, the Economic Benefit Expert.

4.13 The Purchaser shall bear the costs in relation to the preparation and certification of any Draft Economic Benefit Statement and in relation to the review of (and any dispute in relation to) any Draft Economic Benefit Statement.
