prevailing in the Business during the period of six months preceding the
Commencement Date, and details of which are set out in Schedule 9.
4 Grant of rights and use of assets
4.1 Thales hereby grants to Instem the exclusive right to use the Know-how and
the Initial Know-how.
4.2 Thales shall, during the Life of this Agreement, make the Tools and Test

5 Technical Assistance
5.1 On the execution of this Agreement Thales shall forthwith disclose the

(b) the use of the Know-How; and
(c) the exploitation of the Patents.
5.4 Thales hereby agrees that it shall, from time to time, at Instem's
reasonable request provide Instem with such information, technical
assistance and support on such subjects (including updates on Initial

suitable members of its engineering staff).
6 Quality
6.1 Instem agrees that it shall manufacture each Product so as to conform with:
(a) the configuration specified by Thales in the Purchase Order relating
to that Product; and
(b) its Final Test Specification.
6
6.2 Thales shall be entitled to conduct sample tests of Products, on the
following terms:
(a) Thales shall give not less than 24 hours notice of its intention to
conduct such a test, which will take place at the Property, during
normal working hours;
(b) a maximum of 20 per cent of the Products manufactured in a given week
may be subjected to testing;
(c) the Products tested shall be those which have received a final test by
Instem and are awaiting despatch;
(d) any test failure shall be categorised as one of the following:
(i) Grade A Failure - Product fails to function;
(ii) Grade B Failure - Product functions but is not to required build
standard or current specification;
(iii) Grade C Failure - Product bears cosmetic defects only but
otherwise functions satisfactorily.
6.3 If Thales identifies any Product as a Grade A Failure, Thales may require
Instem to carry out repeat testing on all Products of the same Product type
which are awaiting despatch having previously passed final test. The scope
of such testing shall be determined by Thales. Pending the outcome of any
such testing, Thales may issue a "Hold Order" in respect of that Product
type, which shall suspend all deliveries of that Product type pending
resolution of the fault.
6.4 If the outcome of testing undertaken pursuant to clause 6.3 is that a Grade
A Failure was due to a manufacturing defect, Thales may require additional
testing to be performed in order to establish, to the reasonable
satisfaction of Thales, that such defect has been corrected. Any Products
delivered late as a consequence of the investigations into such a Grade A
Failure shall be counted for the purposes of clause 8.4.
6.5 If the outcome of testing undertaken pursuant to clause 6.3 is that a Grade
A Failure was not due to a manufacturing defect, the cost of investigation
and remedial work required to resolve the failure shall be borne by Thales,
and Products withheld from delivery as a consequence of such failure shall
not be counted as late deliveries for the purpose of clause 8.4.
6.6 If Thales identifies a Grade A failure in respect of any Product, Thales
may require Instem to undertake a programme of corrective action specified
by Thales, in a timescale agreed between the Parties, in order to avoid
that failure recurring. If that same Grade A failure is repeated, after the
time has passed within which Instem was required to implement corrective
action, then Thales shall be entitled to require Instem, by notice in
writing, to implement such corrective action by a date specified by Thales
in such notice (but which shall allow Instem a reasonable period to do so).
If Instem thereafter fails to act in accordance with such notice, Thales
may terminate Instem's exclusive appointment under this Agreement in
respect of the Product in which the Grade A failure occurred.
6.7 If, having terminated Instem's exclusive appointment in respect of a
Product pursuant to clause 6.6, Thales ceases to order that Product to be
manufactured by Instem
7
Thales may require Instem to deliver to Thales such of the items of Tools
and Test Equipment as relate to the manufacture of that Product and no
other Products.
7 Forecasts and Purchase Orders
7.1 By the tenth Business Day of each calendar month, Thales shall provide
Instem with its estimate in writing of its anticipated requirements for
each type of Product for each of the following four calendar months (a
"Forecast Period"). Within 10 Business Days of receipt of this estimate by
Instem, representatives of the Parties shall meet to discuss and endeavour
to agree the estimate (each agreed estimate being hereinafter referred to
as a "Forecast").
7.2 If Thales shall advise Instem in writing of a variation to a Forecast (a
"Revised Forecast") Instem shall use its reasonable endeavours to comply
with the Revised Forecast, provided always that Instem gives no guarantee
or undertaking as to its ability to comply with the Revised Forecast and
shall accept no liability for any loss resulting to Thales from late or
non-delivery of the Products the subject of the Revised Forecast.
7.3 Subject to clause 7.4, Thales may place Purchase Orders with Instem, from
time to time, which shall constitute firm orders by Thales to Instem for
the manufacture of the Products specified therein, and which shall specify
Thales s required date for delivery of such Products, which shall not,
unless Instem agrees otherwise in respect of any particular Purchaser
Order, be earlier than the date of expiry of the Minimum Lead Time for the
relevant Product(s).
7.4 Thales's ability to place Purchase Orders shall, unless Instem agrees
otherwise in respect of any particular Purchaser Order, be limited as
follows:
(a) the maximum volume of any Product type which may be ordered by Thales
for delivery in any month shall not exceed 120% (one hundred and
twenty per cent) of the requirement for that Product type specified in
the most recent Forecast for that month;
(b) the maximum aggregate volume of any Product type which may be ordered
by Thales for delivery in the second, third and fourth months of any
Forecast Period may not exceed its total requirements for that Product
type in the preceding Forecast, less the number of Products of that
type delivered by Instem in the first month of the current Forecast
Period; and
(c) the maximum aggregate volume of any Product type which may be ordered
by Thales for delivery in all months of any Forecast Period may not
exceed its total requirements for that Product type specified in the
current Forecast.
7.5 Instem shall be entitled to purchase or commit to purchase such stock
and/or materials and to generate such work-in-progress, as the Business may
require in order to enable Instem to satisfy each Forecast. If Instem
purchases or commits to purchase stock and/or materials which are or will
become obsolete because either:
(a) a Revised Forecast involves a reduction in Thales' requirements for
Products from those stated in the original Forecast; or
8
(b) Purchase Orders placed by Thales in any period do not order the volume
of Products reflected in the Forecast for that period (whether or not
Thales has advised Instem of a Revised Forecast),
then Instem may notify Thales that such items are or are likely to become
obsolete. Thales may purchase any such items of stock from Instem, on
payment to Instem of an amount equal to the cost to Instem of purchasing
the relevant items. If Thales does not purchase such items, and Instem is
required to write off the whole or any part of the value of such items in
its books, then Thales shall pay to Instem an amount equal to the value so
written off. Any such payment may, if the parties so agree, be satisfied by
a partial release by Thales of Instem's liability to repay the Loan
pursuant to the Loan Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed between the
Parties, an item of stock and/or materials shall be deemed to be obsolete
if it has not been used within 12 months after the date on which it was
purchased, save for Last Buy Items to which the utilisation periods set out
in Schedule 6 of the Asset Sale Agreement shall apply.
8 Delivery
8.1 Instem shall supply the Products (suitably packed) ex works the Property.
The price to be paid for the Products pursuant to clause 12 shall be
exclusive of the cost of pallets, packing cases, drums or other articles
used for packing the Products which Thales shall be additionally liable to
pay.
8.2 All Products are to be accompanied by a detailed advice note stating the
purchase order number and giving full particulars of the Products supplied.
8.3 Instem shall use its reasonable endeavours to supply the Products by the
date (if any) specified by Thales when placing the relevant Purchase Order
pursuant to clause 7.3. Instem shall notify Thales as soon as reasonably
practicable if Instem has reason to believe that there may be a delay in
the delivery of the Products and shall provide Thales with reasonable
details of the cause, and likely duration, of such delay.
8.4 If any Products ordered by Thales for delivery on any date falling after 1
January 2002 are delivered by Instem later than the fifth Business Day
after the date specified therefor by Thales in the relevant Purchase Order,
then Instem will be liable to make payment to Thales on the following
terms:
(a) for every complete period of five Business Days by which a Product is
delivered late, up to a maximum of twenty Business Days, Instem will
be liable to pay Thales 0.25% (one quarter of one per cent) of the
invoice value (excluding VAT) of the Products which are delivered
late;
(b) Instem shall not be liable to make payment to Thales pursuant to this
clause 8.4 to the extent that the late delivery of Products is
attributable to an event of Force Majeure;
(c) Instem shall only be liable to make payment to Thales pursuant to this
clause 8.4 if, in respect of any quarter of any Contract Year, 30%
(thirty per cent) or more of the Products due to be delivered to
Thales during that quarter were delivered more than five Business Days
after the due date for delivery;
(d) any amounts due to Thales pursuant to this clause 8.4 shall be
calculated and aggregated for each successive quarter of each Contract
Year and shall be paid by Instem within five Business Days after
demand therefor made by Thales.
9
8.5 Instem shall, without prejudice to clause 23.1, be entitled to delay
delivery or to reduce the amount of Products delivered if and to the extent
that it is prevented from or hindered in or delayed in manufacturing,
obtaining or delivering the Products by normal means due to Force Majeure.
8.6 If for any reason Thales is unable to collect the Products at the time when
the Products are due and ready for delivery, Instem shall, if its storage
facilities permit store the Products and take reasonable steps to prevent
damage to them until their actual collection by Thales and Thales shall be
liable to Instem for the reasonable cost [(including insurance)] of Instem
so doing.
9 Passing of property and risk
9.1 Title to and risk of damage to or loss of the Products shall pass to Thales
on delivery of the Products pursuant to clause 8.1 and Thales shall be
solely responsible for their custody and maintenance.
9.2 Pending payment of the full purchase price of the Products to Instem,
Thales shall at all times keep the Products comprehensively insured against
loss or damage by accident, fire, theft and other risks which it is
commercially usual to insure against in an amount at least equal to the
balance of the purchase price for the same from time to time remaining
outstanding.
10 Payment
10.1 Instem shall submit to Thales a VAT invoice for all amounts payable by
Thales to Instem pursuant to this Agreement, such invoices to include
applicable VAT on the amounts due, at the prevailing VAT rate.
10.2 Thales agrees to pay the amount of any valid Instem invoice (without making
any deduction or set off) by BACS or other electronic funds transfer in
cleared funds for value on the 27th day of the calendar month following the
month of invoice.
10.3 Payment of any monies due to Instem shall not be withheld by Thales if the
delivery of the Products shall be subject to refusal, detention or
confiscation by reason of the lack of proper import licence or failure to
pay customs duties or any other default or omission of Thales.
10.4 Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to Instem when
payment of any invoice is delayed, interest at the rate of 3 per cent per
annum above the base lending rate from time to time of Bank of Scotland (to
be calculated on a daily basis) shall be added on the amount of such
invoice for the period of the delay.
11 Verification of the Established Manufacturing Costs
11.1 During the first Contract Year, Instem may request that the whole or any
part of the Established Manufacturing Costs shall be re-calculated, in
accordance with the provisions of clauses 11.2 to 11.9.
11.2 Instem may prepare and deliver to Thales a revised statement of the
manufacturing costs which it anticipates would have been incurred during

time after 30 June 2002 and before 1 August 2002, provided that if a
Schedule of Revised Costs shows costs in aggregate which exceed the
aggregate costs stated in Schedule 5 by more than 5 per cent, Instem may
deliver such Schedule of Revised Costs to Thales at any time before 1
August 2002.
11.4 Instem shall accord Thales and its authorised representatives (at its own
reasonable cost) such assistance and facilities during normal working hours
(including access to its books and records) as Thales may reasonably
request for the purpose of reviewing the Schedule of Revised Costs and
Thales shall be entitled to make such enquiries as it considers reasonably
appropriate and by its authorised representatives to have access to the
accounting records and sale and purchase invoices of the Business for the
purposes of satisfying itself as to the matters in the Schedule 5 of
Revised Costs.
11.5 As soon as reasonably practicable after delivery of the Schedule of Revised
Costs to Thales pursuant to clause 11.1, Thales shall notify Instem in
writing whether it agrees with the Schedule of Revised Costs.
11.6 If Thales notifies Instem that it agrees with the Schedule of Revised
Costs, the costs specified in the Schedule of Revised Costs shall become
the "Established Manufacturing Costs" for all purposes of this Agreement.
11.7 If Thales notifies Instem pursuant to clause 11.5 that it does not agree
with the Schedule of Revised Costs, the Parties shall negotiate in good
faith in a bona fide attempt to agree the Schedule of Revised Costs and,
upon agreement of the same, the costs specified therein shall become the
"Established Manufacturing Costs" for all purposes of this Agreement.
11.8 If after 30 Business Days from the date upon which Instem delivered the
Schedule of Revised Costs to Thales there exists any aspect of the Schedule
of Revised Costs which Instem and Thales have not agreed (a "Disputed
Item") then:
(a) either Thales or Instem may require that any Disputed Item be referred
to the decision of the Independent Accountant;
(b) the Independent Accountant shall act as an expert and not as an
arbitrator and his decision in relation to any Disputed Item shall be
final and binding on Thales and Instem in the absence of manifest
error;
(c) all of the costs of the Independent Accountant shall be shared equally
Thales and Instem unless the Independent Accountant decides otherwise;
(d) Thales and Instem shall each procure that the Independent Accountant
is afforded all facilities and access to personnel, premises, papers,
accounts records and such other documents as may reasonably be
required by him in order to reach his decision;
(e) Thales and Instem and/or their respective professional advisers shall
each be entitled to make written submissions to the Independent
Accountant in relation to any Disputed Item referred to him, provided
that a copy of any such submission shall be supplied simultaneously to
the other party; and
(f) Thales and Instem shall each use all reasonable endeavours to procure
that the Independent Accountant issues his determination within 30
Business Days of
11
the initial reference to him under this clause 11.8 and shall
accordingly co-operate with the Independent Accountant and with each
other in agreeing and complying with any procedural requirements and
any timetable suggested by the Independent Accountant or, if
reasonable, by the other party.
11.9 Within 5 Business Days of any written determination being made by the
Independent Accountant in relation to any Disputed Item, Instem and Thales
shall jointly incorporate into the Schedule of Revised Costs the matters
determined by the Independent Accountant (together with any adjustments
which may have separately been agreed in writing between Instem and Thales
and any other adjustments which arise as a direct consequence of the
matters determined by the Independent Accountant) and the costs specified
in the Schedule of Revised Costs, as amended shall become the "Established
Manufacturing Costs" for all purposes of this Agreement.
12 Prices for Products in the first Contract Year
12.1 During the first Contract Year, the price to be charged for the manufacture
and supply of any Product shall be the Estimated Price of that Product,
plus the Manufacturing Management Charge applicable to that price.
12.2 If, by the operation of clause 11 of this Agreement, the amount of the
Established Manufacturing Costs is re-calculated and is an amount greater
(or less) than the amount thereof set out in Schedule 5, Thales shall pay
to Instem (or Instem shall pay to Thales) an amount equal to the excess (or
the deficit), plus the Manufacturing Management Charge applicable to the
amount of that sum, such payment to be made following delivery of an
invoice therefor to the appropriate party.
12.3 During the first Contract Year, if Instem reasonably believes that the
Estimated Price of any Product did not reflect any aspect of the actual
cost of manufacture of that Product as at the Commencement Date, then
Instem may propose a revised price for that Product and the Parties shall
negotiate in good faith with a view to agreeing such revised price.
12.4 A revised price agreed pursuant to clause 12.3 shall thereupon become the
Estimated Price for the relevant Product for the purposes of clause 12.1
and Instem shall be entitled to deliver an invoice to Thales in respect of
the amount of the difference between the initial Estimated Price and the
revised Estimated price agreed pursuant to clause 12.3, for all relevant
Products delivered to Thales in the period from the Commencement Date to
the date upon which the revised Estimated Price takes effect.
13 Prices for Products in subsequent Contract Years
13.1 At least 3 months prior to the commencement of the second Contract Year and
each subsequent Contract Year, Thales shall provide to Instem a written
estimate of Thales estimated requirements for Products to be manufactured
during that Contract Year including the estimated volume required of each
Product type.
13.2 Following receipt of Thales' estimate pursuant to clause 13.1, Instem shall
provide to Thales a written statement of Instem's proposed price for the
following Contract Year for each Product type included in Thales' estimate.
13.3 The proposed prices for the second and third Contract Years shall be based
on the prices charged for Products in the first Contract Year. The proposed
prices for the
12
fourth Contract Year and all subsequent Contract Years shall be based on
the prices charged for Products in the preceding Contract Year. If, for any
Contract Year Instem proposes an increase in the price of any Product,
Instem shall also supply to Thales, as appropriate:
(a) evidence from relevant labour rate indices to support the proposed
labour element of any price;
(b) the effect of product mix variances on the rate of recovery of
overheads;
(c) evidence of specific enhancements or variations to the service or
facilities offered by Instem, to support the proposed overhead element
of any price; and
(d) evidence of prices charged or to be charged by suppliers to support
the product or component element of any price.
Thereafter, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith with a view to
agreeing the price to be applied to each Product to be manufactured by
Instem in the relevant Contract Year ("Agreed Price"). Thales may request
that it joins with Instem in negotiating the prices to be charged by
suppliers for products or components to be purchased by Instem for
installation in Products.
13.4 In respect of the fourth Contract Year and each subsequent Contract Year,
Instem's proposed prices for that Contract Year may be increased so as to
seek to achieve a maximum Net Sales Profit of 5 per cent. of sales.
13.5 During the second Contract Year, and each subsequent Contract Year the
price to be charged for the manufacture and supply of any Product shall be
the Agreed Price of that Product.
l3.6 From the first anniversary of the Commencement Date and during the
remainder of Life of this Agreement, Instem shall be entitled to review and
adjust the product or component element of any Agreed Price of any Product
from time to time, but only to the extent necessary to take account of any
variation to its costs resulting from market and/or economic forces
(including, without limitation, variations in the cost of materials,
exchange rate, valuations and alterations of duties) or from any changes
made to any Specification or the structure of any Product, since the date
of agreement or determination of the Agreed Price.
14 Minimum payments to Instem
14.1 After the end of each of the first, second and third Contract Years, Instem
shall calculate the Received Amount for that Contract Year.
14.2 If the Received Amount in the first Contract Year is less than the amount
of the Established Manufacturing Costs, Thales shall pay to Instem an
amount equal to the shortfall, together with the Manufacturing Management
Charge applicable to that shortfall.
14.3 If the Received Amount in the second Contract Year is less than the amount
of the Established Manufacturing Costs, Thales shall pay to Instem an
amount equal to the shortfall.
13
14.4 If the Received Amount in the third Contract Year is less than the amount
of the Established Manufacturing Costs, Thales shall pay to Instem an
amount equal to the shortfall.

the Established Manufacturing Costs in order to take into account any
variations in the costs and expenses falling within the categories which
comprise the Established Manufacturing Costs and which are attributable to
market and/or economic forces prevailing in the relevant Contract Year.
14.6 Instem confirms that if it is able to attract third party manufacturing
businesses to the Hythe facility and is able to recover a proportion of the
costs of operating that facility by carrying out that work, then to that
extent it would not be Instem's intention to seek to enforce its
entitlement to call on Thales to reimburse Established Manufacturing Costs
which are not recovered via the manufacture of Products for Thales, whether
pursuant to clauses 14.2, 14.3 or 14.4.
15 Payments by Instem to Thales
15.1 If the Actual Level of Business in the second Contract Year is equal to or
greater than:
(a) the Actual Level of Business in the first Contract Year; and
(b) the Initial Level of Business
