3. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT AND PRE-COMPLETION MATTERS

3.1 Completion is conditional upon the satisfaction or waiver (if made in accordance with the provisions hereof) of the following condition(s) precedent before the Long Stop Date:

(a) all necessary approvals from the Competition Authority (either as the result of an explicit approval or the expiry of any stand still periods without any objection from the Competition Authority). An approval shall not be considered to have been granted if such approval is subject to any conditions, unless all Parties accept the conditions in such approval;

(b) there being no injunction, judgment, court order, pending legal proceedings or ongoing investigations or, after the date of this Agreement, new regulations or laws prohibiting Completion;

(c) since the last Interim Accounts Date prior to signing of this Agreement, there shall not have been any Material Adverse Change.

3.2 The Parties agree to use their best endeavours to co-operate in connection with the satisfaction of the Condition in Clause 3.1(a), including at the request of the other Party to promptly provide, and for the Seller (on a request from the Purchaser) to procure that the Group provides, all necessary information and other assistance reasonably required by the other Party or the Competition Authority.

3.3 The Purchaser is responsible for preparing and making the clearance applications and filings contemplated or required to be made to obtain all consents, approvals or actions of the Competition Authority or any other person which are required in order to satisfy or fulfil the Condition in Clause 3.1(a). Subject thereto and without prejudice to the generality of Clause 3.2,

12

the Parties shall co-operate in the timely preparation, submission and pursuit of all clearance applications and filings required in connection with satisfying the Condition in Clause 3.1(a) and the taking of all other steps as the Purchaser shall consider reasonably necessary or desirable to obtain all consents, approvals or actions of the Competition Authority or any other person which are required in order to satisfy or fulfil the Condition in Clause 3.1(a).

(a) with the reasonable assistance of the Seller, procuring the filing of any necessary submissions to the Competition Authority as soon as practicable and in any event within five (5) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, and the payment of any filing fees assessed by the Competition Authority. If the approval sought from the Competition Authority proceeds to a “Phase II” review, and the Parties agree to extend the Long Stop Date to accommodate such review process, the Seller shall pay half of all the reasonable costs associated with such Phase II application and approval;

(b) providing the Seller (or advisers nominated by the Seller) with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any drafts of notifications and communications proposed to be submitted to the Competition Authority before they are so submitted or sent;

(c) providing the Seller (or advisers nominated by the Seller) with copies of final submissions, written responses and other communications with the Competition Authority (which relate to the Transaction) as soon as reasonably practicable after being sent or received (as the case may be) (save that business secrets and other confidential material may be redacted so long as the Purchaser acts reasonably in identifying such material for redaction); and

(a) shall give notice in writing to the other that a relevant Condition has been satisfied or waived as soon as practicable and in any event within two (2) Business Days of becoming aware of the fact; and

(b) shall disclose to the other Party preferably in writing any matter, fact or circumstance of which it becomes aware which will or might reasonably be expected to prevent any of the Conditions from being satisfied on or prior to the Long Stop Date.

3.6 If one or more of the Conditions:

(a) remains unsatisfied or is not waived by the relevant Party as at the Long Stop Date; or

(b) becomes impossible to satisfy or is not waived by the relevant Party before the Long Stop Date,

the provisions of Clause 3.7 shall apply.

(i) prior to or at Completion (A) pay the aggregate potential Leakage identified by (or agreed to with) the Purchaser (the “Potential Leakage”) into the Group to satisfy that Potential Leakage and (B) present documentary evidence to the Purchaser that the Seller has paid the Potential Leakage, and Completion shall proceed (and the Purchaser shall have no Claims in respect of such amounts pursuant to Clause 5.1 or otherwise); or

(ii) at the Scheduled Completion place the Potential Leakage into the General Escrow Account and added to the General Escrow Amount (and the Consideration to be paid at the Scheduled Completion shall be reduced by an equal amount), and the Parties shall resolve the matter after the Scheduled Completion; or

(b) if the Seller does not elect to deal with the Potential Leakage in accordance with Clause 3.9(a);

(i) the Parties may, by mutual agreement, defer Completion, however no longer than to the Long Stop Date, and if Completion does not occur on or prior to the Long Stop Date, this Agreement shall be terminated and the provisions of Clause 3.7 shall apply; and/or

(ii) either the Seller or the Purchaser may, by written notice to the other Parties, determine not to complete, and this Agreement shall be terminated and the provisions of Clause 3.7 shall apply.

14

In such case, the Seller’s reimbursement of the Purchaser’s transaction costs shall not exceed an amount of €2,000,000. The limitations set out in Clauses 7.5, 7.6 and 7.7 shall not apply to this Clause 3.11.

3.12 If Completion does not occur pursuant to Clause 3.9(b), and the Potential Leakage subsequently is established not to have been Leakage (or to have been Permitted Leakage) pursuant to this Agreement, or if it is established that the Purchaser has not been in compliance with Clause 3.10, the Purchaser indemnifies and undertakes to pay the Seller for any and all costs, losses or liabilities sustained by the Seller in order to reimburse the Seller’s transaction costs. In such case, the Purchaser’s reimbursement of the Seller’s transaction costs shall not exceed an amount of €2,000,000.

7.3 In each Warranty, where any statement is qualified as being made “so far as the Seller is aware” or any similar expression, a matter shall be treated as being within the awareness, knowledge, information or belief of the Seller if: (i) it is within the actual knowledge, information or belief of any of Xxxxxxx Duelund, Urban Folcker, Xxxxx Boork, Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx Fog-Xxxxxxx, Clause Xxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx or Xxx Xxx; or (ii) any such persons would reasonably be expected to be aware, or to have such knowledge, information or belief, given their positions and responsibilities within the Group.

7.4 The Parties agree that:

(a) the Purchaser shall pay, or procure the payment of the Insurance Premium at Completion to the Insurer;

(b) if and to the extent that the Purchaser wishes to make a Claim, and the fact, matter or circumstance giving rise to such Claim would be, or might reasonably be expected to be, covered by the Insurance Policy (it being acknowledged and agreed that Claims up to the amount of the Insurance Excess, are not covered by the Insurance Policy) (a “Covered Risk”):

(i) at the time of notifying a claim for a Covered Risk to the Insurer, the Purchaser shall also notify the corresponding potential Claim to the Seller by issuance of a Claim Notice (and in accordance with paragraph 2(a) of Schedule 6, an amount equal to any such Claim shall be withheld and not released from the General Escrow Account);

(ii) the Purchaser shall first attempt to seek recovery under the Insurance Policy;

(iii) the Seller shall not be liable in respect of any Claim relating to a Covered Risk, unless and until the Purchaser has made a claim in respect of the Covered Risk under the Insurance Policy, and the Insurer has finally determined that the claim (or any part thereof) is not payable pursuant to such Insurance Policy; and

(iv) prior to seeking any recovery in respect of a Claim against the Escrow Amounts, the Purchaser shall confirm in writing to the Seller that either (A) in the Purchaser’s reasonable opinion, such matter that is not a Covered Risk; or (B) that the Insurer has determined that no amount is payable in respect of such matter pursuant to the Insurance Policy.

(c) in connection with a Claim, if the Purchaser is unable to recover under the Insurance Policy, and the Seller makes a payment to the Purchaser in respect of such Claim,

19

upon the written request of the Seller, the Purchaser shall to the extent possible assign the claim (or potential claim) under the Insurance Policy to the Seller, to enable the Seller to pursue such claim against the Insurer; and

(d) in the event that the Purchaser makes a claim under the Insurance Policy, the Purchaser agrees that:

7.5 The Seller shall not be liable in respect of any Claim unless the Purchaser shall have delivered a Claim Notice to the Seller as soon as reasonably practicable after the Claim has come to the knowledge of the Purchaser (it being acknowledged that this requirement to provide such notice to the Seller, and the failure to do so shall not preclude or limit a Claim unless and to the extent that the delay adversely affects the Seller’s ability to mitigate the amount of a Claim), and in any event:

(a) in relation to a Claim under Clause 4 (Conduct of business before Completion) or Clause 5 (No Leakage), within 6 months after the Completion Date;

(b) in relation to Other Tax Claims, any Claims under Schedule 4, paragraph 6 (Tax matters) or Schedule 4, paragraph 17 (Environmental matters), within 6 years after the Completion Date; and

7.7 The Seller shall not be liable in respect of a Claim, if the matter which has given cause for the Claim is fairly disclosed in the Due Diligence Documentation. For the purposes of this Agreement and the Disclosure Letter, “fairly disclosed” means disclosed with sufficient details to identify the nature and scope of the matter disclosed in the Due Diligence Documentation. For the avoidance of doubt, opinions, advice and limitations of scope (to the extent they do not disclose facts) in the due diligence reports provided by the Seller’s advisors and contained in the Xxxxxxx Datasite shall not be considered disclosed. This limitation, however, shall not apply to Claims arising out of breaches of: (i) the Title Warranties; (ii) an Indemnity; (iii) Clause 4 (Conduct of Business Before Completion); (iv) Clause 5 (Leakage); (v) Clause 8.4; (vi) Schedule 4, Clause 6 (Tax Matters); or (vii) Clause 3.11.

20

7.8 The maximum aggregate liability of the Seller in relation to all Claims (including, without limitation, Other Tax Claims, Employment Claims or Trade Debtor Claims) shall not exceed the General Escrow Amount plus the Shared Amount.

Claims shall be calculated in accordance with and subject to Danish Law, with the modifications set out herein.

7.9 If the Purchaser or any member of the Purchaser’s Group becomes aware of a matter which constitutes or is reasonably likely to give rise to a Claim or a TP Claim:

(a) the Purchaser or the relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group shall within a reasonable time deliver a Claim Notice or TP Notice to the Seller of the matter in accordance with Clauses 7.5 and 9.3, and shall consult with the Seller with respect to the matter;

(b) the Purchaser or the relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group shall, and shall ensure that each member of the Purchaser’s Group will (save to the extent to do so would not be legally permissible), (i) provide to the Seller and its advisers reasonable access to any member of the Purchaser’s Group’s (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Group Company’s after Completion) premises, personnel and relevant assets, documents and records for the purposes of investigating them after and enabling the Seller to take the action referred to in paragraph (d) below; and (ii) keep the Seller reasonably informed in relation to the matter, including its progress;

(c) save to the extent to do so would not be legally permissible, the Seller (at its cost) may take copies of the documents or records, and photograph the premises or assets, referred to in paragraph (b) above;

(d) the Seller shall use all reasonable endeavours and take all reasonable steps to settle and resolve the subject matter of any Claim or TP Claim, as soon as is practicable;

(g) in the event that a reserve has been established in the Locked Box Date Accounts:

(i) with respect to reserves established for specific warranty claims, only losses incurred which are in excess of the aggregate reserve for all specific warranty claims, (but, for avoidance of doubt, excluding any general warranty reserve), shall be included in the calculation of a loss; and

(ii) with respect to reserves established for general warranty claims, only losses incurred which are in excess of the aggregate reserve for all general warranty claims, (but, for avoidance of doubt, excluding any specific warranty reserve), shall be included in the calculation of a loss; and

(h) the Purchaser is under an obligation to mitigate the losses (in Danish: “tabsbegrænsningsforpligtelse”) in accordance with Danish law.

7.11 Any payment by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to Clauses 7, 8 or 9 shall be deemed an adjustment to the Consideration whereby the Consideration is decreased by the amount paid by the Seller on a € for € basis.

7.12 The remedies provided in this Clause 7 and Clause 8 are the exclusive remedies available to the Purchaser with respect to any Claim.

(b) the purpose of placing the General Escrow Amount into the General Escrow Account is to satisfy any Claims (including Other Tax Claims, Employment Claims and Trade Debtor Claims) to the extent they are validly made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, plus any TP Claims for which the TP Escrow Amount is not sufficient. Subject to Clause 7, all Claims against the Seller must, if payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, be satisfied by payment from:

(i) the General Escrow Amount held in the General Escrow Account (from time to time); and/or

(ii) the Shared Amount in the TP Escrow Account, in accordance with Clause 10.2(a)(ii) above,

10.4 In the first instance, the Seller intends to apply the China Withholding Tax to the China Dividends at a rate of 10%, but it is noted that such tax may be reduced. Accordingly, the Purchaser undertakes and agrees that it will (or it will procure that a member of the Group will):

(a) provided that the Purchaser (or relevant Group Company) provides the Seller with all information reasonably requested in respect of such Loss (such that the Seller can determine, acting reasonably, that the Loss would reasonably be expected to be covered by the General / Products Liability Insurance Policies), the Seller shall, or shall procure that an Affiliate shall, notify and pursue recovery of the Loss under the relevant General / Products Liability Insurance Policy (it being acknowledged that recovery of such Loss includes all available types of cover under the LM Group’s General / Products Liability Insurance Policies, including, but not limited to indemnity and defence costs);

(b) on the request of the Purchaser (or any Group Company), the Seller shall upon notification of a Loss to the insurer, also notify the insurer that the Purchaser (or relevant Group Company) is nominated as Loss payee for any and all insurance proceeds in respect of such Loss and keep the Purchaser (or any relevant Group Company) informed of the progress and status of any such claim; and

(c) in pursuing recovery for the Loss under the General / Products Liability Insurance Policies, the Seller shall take into account the reasonable requests and representations of the Purchaser (or relevant Group Company), and provided that any such request does not have an adverse effect on the LM Group, take such actions in respect of the recovery of such Loss, as the Purchaser requests (it being acknowledged that it shall be at the discretion of the Seller as to whether any proceeding or litigation or other step of a similar kind is threatened or brought against the relevant insurer or underwriter, provided that, the Seller shall not unreasonably refuse such a request by the Purchaser if the Purchaser provides an opinion of counsel that determines that, under the circumstances, pursuit of an action for recovery against the insurer would be reasonable. For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller shall have conduct in respect of any such action),

provided that in any such case: (A) the Purchaser shall indemnify the Seller (for itself and as trustee for each member of the LM Group) from time to time on demand against all losses, claims, expenses, demands and other liabilities incurred by any member of the LM Group as a result of compliance with the above provisions of this Clause 14.7 (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of making and pursuing a claim); (B) upon the written request of the Seller, it will either prepay or provide security for amounts that are reasonably expected to be payable pursuant to the indemnity under item (A) above, and if the Purchaser does not prepay or provide security for such amounts, the Seller is not obliged to carry out any of its obligations pursuant to this Clause 14.7; and (C) subject to the obligations to give notice to the Purchaser as set out herein, nothing herein shall require the LM Group or its Affiliates to maintain existing its insurance policies post Completion;

33

The Seller shall ensure, and shall procure that the LM Group ensures, that the LM Group does not terminate, buy-back, or in other ways exit the General / Products Liability Insurance Policies (with the effect that the cover for any Loss or future Loss is limited or eliminated) without providing the Purchaser with at least three (3) months’ prior written notice of the LM Group’s intent to terminate such General / Products Liability Insurance Policies. In addition, the Seller shall, and shall procure that the LM Group shall, cooperate reasonably in the event that the Purchaser determines that purchasing a form of “run-off” or “tail” coverage would be beneficial in protecting the Purchaser’s interests and ensuring there is no gap in coverage, provided that any such insurance shall be at the Purchaser’s cost.

14.8 The Parties acknowledge and agree that:

(a) Mr H K Song is currently employed at Svendborg Brakes Korea Co. Ltd., however provides no services to Svendborg Brakes Korea Co. Ltd. and solely carries out business for and on behalf of the LM Group. The LM Group undertakes use all reasonable endeavours to enter into, as soon as practically possible after signing of this Agreement, a new employment agreement (or an assignment of the existing employment agreement) with Mr Song to accomplish the transfer of his employment to another legal entity within or on behalf of the LM Group. The LM Group undertakes to indemnify and hold harmless, Svendborg Brakes Korea Co. Ltd for all damages, liabilities and costs, including already paid costs, and all other costs relating to Mr H K Song, from the Locked Box Date to Completion and undertakes and agrees to pay all costs and take over all liabilities relating to Mr Song from Completion until Mr Song is transferred to another entity of the LM Group or until Mr Song’s employment with Svendborg Brakes Korea Co. Ltd. is terminated (including where such termination of Mr H K Song is not lawful, i.e. not in compliance with relevant labour law entailing penalties to be paid by Svendborg Brakes Korea Co. Ltd. to Mr H K Song), whichever date is first; and

(b) the Seller holds the lease as lessee, and pays the rent for, the leased premises in South Korea situated at 102-2602, Daewoo World Xxxx-YongSan, Seoul (the “South Korean Leased Premises”). The parties further acknowledge that Mr H K Song (who is currently an employee of Svendborg Brakes Korea Co. Ltd, but whose employment shall be dealt with pursuant to Clause 14.8(a) above) is provided with access to and use of the Leased Premises and that LM Group reimburses Svendborg Brakes Korea Co. Ltd for such use. Following signing of this Agreement:

(i) the Purchaser shall (and shall procure that Svendborg Brakes Korea Co. Ltd shall), subject at all times to the terms of any lease agreement or extension relating to the Leased Premises, and provided that such access is not materially detrimental to the Purchaser or any Group Company, permit Mr H K Song to have access to and use of the Leased Premises for not less than 6 months after Completion, and thereafter as agreed to between the Parties; and

(ii) the Seller shall reimburse and shall procure that the LM Group reimburses Svendborg Brakes Korea Co. Ltd – upon Svendborg Brakes Korea Co. Ltd.’s delivery of documentation for half the costs relating to the Leased Premises and any additional costs relating to Mr H K Song’s use of the Leased Premises from the Locked Box Date (to the extent that such costs have not already been satisfied by a member of the LM Group), and for as long as the Leased Premises is shared by the Parties,

and the Seller acknowledges and agrees that: (X) any amounts payable under the indemnity provided in this Clause 14.8, shall not be required to be satisfied (but may at the Purchaser’s

34

election be satisfied) by the Escrow Amounts, and the Purchaser shall have separate recourse to the Seller, and further that the limitations set out in Clauses 7.5, 7.6 and 7.7 shall not apply to such indemnity; and (Y) upon the written request of the Purchaser, it will either prepay or provide security for amounts that are reasonably expected to be payable pursuant to this Clause 14.8, and if the Seller does not prepay or provide security for such amounts, the Purchaser is not obliged to carry out any of its obligations pursuant to this Clause 14.8.
