11 ACTIONS AFTER CLOSING; PURCHASE PRICE ADJUSTMENT

11.1 Notification of Resignations and Directors.

11.1.1 The Buyer undertakes to notify the Danish Business Authority and similar relevant foreign public authorities about the retirement of board members in accordance with clause 10.4(c) no later than 2 Business Days after the Closing Date and pending the de-registrations of such board members, the Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless such individuals against any and all claims of whatever nature arising out of the operations of the Group or a Group Company after the Closing Date, provided that, prior to Closing, the Seller shall procure that the Company provides such assistance with preparing such de-registrations

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

as may be reasonably requested by the Buyer. The Buyer undertakes promptly to provide the Seller with evidence of such completed de-registrations.

11.2 Purchase Price Adjustment.

11.2.1 No later than 30 Business Days after the Closing Date, the Seller must provide the Buyer with a draft Final Purchase Price Calculation applying the provisions of clause 5, and consisting of a calculation, accompanied by relevant documentation, of (i) the Final Net Debt; (ii) the Final Working Capital; (iii) the Purchase Price determined in accordance with clause 5.1 and (iv) the Adjustment Amount, if any. The Buyer must procure that the Group makes available and gives the Seller and its advisors access during usual business hours and upon 2 Business Days’ notice to all necessary information and relevant employees within the Group as well as to the Group Companies’ auditors to enable the Seller to prepare the draft Final Purchase Price Calculation within the timeframe set forth herein.

11.2.2 If the Buyer does not notify the Seller of an objection to the Seller’s draft of the Final Purchase Price Calculation in accordance with the procedures of clause 11.2.3, it will be final and binding on the Parties and the Adjustment Amount payable, if any, and by which Party, shall be determined by reference to such Final Purchase Price Calculation.

11.2.3 If the Buyer disagrees with any element of the Seller’s draft of the Final Purchase Price Calculation, the Buyer must give Notice of an Objection to the Seller no later than 30 Business Days after delivery of the Seller’s draft of the Final Purchase Price Calculation. The Buyer must describe in detail the Disputed Matters, include the Buyer’s calculation of the Final Purchase Price Calculation and refer to the provisions of the Agreement that the Buyer invokes in support of its position, including which adjustments to the Adjustment Amount, if any, the Buyer requests. Unless (i) any Objection has been served on the Seller within the time frame stipulated above and (ii) the Objection contains all such information as specified in the immediate preceding sentence, the draft Final Purchase Price Calculation prepared by the Seller will be final and binding on the Parties.

11.2.4 Subject to clause 11.2.5, if the Buyer gives Notice of an Objection in accordance with clause 11.2.3, the Parties must attempt to reach an agreement on the Disputed Matters no later than 15 Business Days after the Seller’s receipt of the Objection. If the Parties are unable to reach an agreement within this time limit, either Party may demand that the Disputed Matters be referred to the Expert.

(a) The Expert will resolve the Disputed Matters by determining the proper value of the items which are subject of the Disputed Matters in accordance with the Agreement, including clause 5. The Expert’s decision on the Disputed Matters must be within the range of the values proposed for such Disputed Matter by the Buyer and the Seller. If the determination of the Disputed Matters depends on an accounting estimate, the Expert must make an independent estimate on the basis of what he considers to be fair and reasonable under the Agreement and consistent with the Group’s Accounting Principles. If his independent determination is outside the range proposed by the Parties, his determination will be deemed to be equal to the value proposed by the Party which was closest to such determination. The Expert is not authorized to decide on any legal dispute concerning the interpretation of the Agreement. Any such dispute must be resolved in accordance with clause 15. Upon determination of the Disputed Matters, the Expert will prepare a Final Purchase Price Calculation implementing his determination on the Disputed Matters (but without making any changes to any elements of the Final Purchase Price Calculation which were not Disputed Matters).

(b) The Final Purchase Price Calculation prepared by the Expert will be final and binding on the Parties, and it can only be challenged in accordance with clause 15 in the event of fraudulent acts or obvious errors. The Adjustment Amount payable, if any, shall be determined by reference to such Final Purchase Price Calculation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c) The Expert will make decisions as to the apportionment of his fees and other costs between the Parties, taking into account the amount by which each Party’s calculation of the Purchase Price deviated from the Purchase Price determined by him.

11.2.5 Any Disputed Matters in a Notice of Objection given by the Buyer relating to the line item entitled “Corporate Tax Payables” in the table in Schedule 5.1(b) shall be disregarded and not referred to the Expert, unless the Seller’s estimate delivered under clause 10.3(a) is based on manifest error on the part of the Seller.

11.2.6 No later than 5 Business Days after the Final Purchase Price Calculation has become final and binding on the Parties in accordance with this clause 11.2, the Adjustment Amount (together with the Interest accrued on the Adjustment Amount from the Closing Date through the date of payment) must be paid in immediately available funds by the Seller to the Buyer, or by Buyer to the Seller, as applicable, provided that

(a) if the Adjustment Amount is to be paid by the Buyer to the Seller, 10% of the Adjustment Amount shall be paid by the Buyer into the Escrow Account and payment of such portion of the Adjustment Amount into the Escrow Account and the remainder to the Seller shall fully discharge the Buyer’s obligation under this clause 11.2.6; and

(b) if the Adjustment Amount is to be paid by the Seller to the Buyer, 10% of the Adjustment Amount shall be released from the Escrow Account in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and such release together with the payment by the Seller to the Buyer of the remainder of the Adjustment Amount shall fully discharge the Seller’s obligation under this clause 11.2.6.

11.3 Bookkeeping. Following the Closing, the Buyer must ensure that the Group stores its bookkeeping records as required by the Danish Bookkeeping Act (bogføringsloven) or similar applicable local legislation, and that the Seller and the Seller’s advisors will be able to gain access to such records within normal business hours in relation to clause 11.

13 SELLER’S LIABILITY, LIMITATIONS AND CLAIMS PROCEDURE

13.1 Survival; Liability for Breach. In the event of any Breach by Seller of this Agreement, the Seller must indemnify and hold the Buyer harmless against and from any Loss in accordance with the general rules of Danish law, subject to the limitations stated in this clause 13; provided that the Seller shall be entitled to remedy a Breach capable of being remedied within 20 Business Days after receipt of the Buyer’s Notice of the Claim, and the Claim and such Breach will cease to exist if the Seller, at its sole cost and expense, remedies the Breach before expiry of this deadline.

13.2 Calculation of Loss. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Seller shall not be liable for any indirect or consequential loss, punitive damages, diminution in value or loss of profits, or any Loss which (i) has been taken into account in calculation of the Final Purchase Price Calculation or (ii) was caused by a failure of the Buyer to consent to any action pursuant to clause 6.1. The Buyer’s Loss shall be calculated as the Buyer’s or any Group Company’s direct loss on a DKK 1 for DKK 1 basis without regard to any methods of calculation (P/E, EBITDA multiple or similar method) used for the determination of the Enterprise Value.

13.2.1 The effect of any Loss on any tax asset of the Group (by reducing the Buyer’s or any Group Company’s possibility to utilise such tax asset) shall not be regarded as a Loss under this Agreement. This clause 13.2.1 shall not apply to any tax asset taken into account in calculating the Final Net Debt or Final Working Capital.

13.2.2 When calculating a Loss, the Buyer must take into account any amount that the Buyer or a Group Company has received or is able to receive after using reasonable commercial efforts from a third party as a result of the Breach or the Loss, and any such amount must be set off against the Buyer’s Claim, including (i) any net tax benefit as a result of such Breach or Loss that the Buyer or a Group Company is reasonably able to utilise and (ii) any insurance payment that the Buyer or a Group Company has received or which is recoverable in respect of such Loss (or which it would actually have been able to recover under the insurance policies in place at the Closing).

13.2.3 Any loss will not be considered a Loss under the Agreement to the extent that it is caused or increased as a direct result of voluntary acts or omissions of the Buyer or any Group Company after Closing (other than any acts or omissions carried out (i) in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice of the Group prior to Closing (provided that nothing in this clause shall limit the Buyer’s obligation to mitigate Loss pursuant to clause 13.3 upon the Buyer becoming aware that to continue with such act or omission would cause or increase a Loss) or (ii) pursuant to the requirements of any law or legally binding obligation created on or before Closing) or to the extent that it would not have arisen but for changes in laws, regulations or practices of any Governmental Authority not finally enacted and published on the Signing Date.

13.3 Mitigation. The Buyer is required to mitigate any Loss in accordance with the general rules of Danish law. In furtherance of the foregoing, except where to do so would materially prejudice the interests of the Buyer or any Group Company, Buyer undertakes and agrees to use reasonable efforts to recover from a third party any Loss for which an indemnity payment hereunder may be due. If the Buyer receives payment from a third party in respect of a Loss subsequent to an indemnification payment by Seller against which the Seller has already indemnified the Buyer, the Buyer shall promptly reimburse the Seller up to the amount paid by the Seller in indemnification hereunder.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

13.4 Limitations

13.4.1 The Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify the Buyer in respect of any Loss in respect of a Breach if the Buyer fails to give Notice (in accordance with clause 13.5) of the Claim to the Seller no later than 11:59 pm CET on the day 15 months following the Closing Date (the period between Closing and such time being the “Warranty Survival Period”).

13.4.2 The Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify the Buyer in respect of any Loss caused by a Breach of any of the Warranties unless:

(a) the amount of such Loss arising from a single Beach or series of related Breaches of any of the Warranties exceeds DKK 4,000,000 (the “De Minimis Threshold”); and

(b) the total amount of the Buyer’s Losses in respect of all such Breaches of the Warranties (each exceeding the De Minimis Threshold), is in excess of DKK 80,000,000 (the “Basket”) in which case the Seller shall only be liable for such part of the Loss exceeding DKK 40,000,000.

13.4.3 The Seller’s maximum aggregate liability for all Losses in respect of all such Breaches of the Warranties shall be limited to 10% of the Purchase Price in the aggregate (the “Cap”).

13.4.4 The limitations in clause 13.4 do not apply to any Breach of any of the Warranties arising out of or as a result of fraud or willful misrepresentation or in respect of Breach of any of the Title Warranties.

13.4.5 Any payment by any Party in respect of a claim under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, which shall be reduced or increased by the amount of such payment (as the case may be).

13.5 Claims procedure

13.5.1 The Buyer shall give Notice to the Seller (in accordance with clause 16.1) promptly and in any event within 30 Business Days after the Buyer becomes aware of the events or circumstances giving rise to the Claim. The Buyer’s Notice must include a detailed description of the Claim, its actual and legal basis and a calculation of the Loss or the estimated Loss together with reasonable supporting documentation. No delay by or failure of the Buyer in complying with any of the obligations in this clause 13.5.1 shall affect its rights in respect of the Claim, except to the extent that such delay or failure increases the amount that the Buyer would otherwise be entitled to claim.

13.5.2 The Seller shall have a period of 30 Business Days from receipt of the Notice of Claim to dispute such Claim by providing Notice that the Seller disputes such claim in accordance with clause 16.1.

13.5.3 If the Seller provides Notice that it disputes such Claim, in full or in part, within the period described in clause 13.5.2 the Buyer may request arbitration in accordance with clause 15.2 and if it so requests, shall serve its written complaint (klageskrift) on the Seller within 60 Business Days after the Buyer has received Notice that the Seller disputes the Claim. If the written complaint is not served within such period, the Seller will be released from any and all obligations to indemnify the Buyer against the Loss arising from the Claim in question or any other alleged Loss based on substantially the same events or circumstances. If the Seller fails to provide Notice that it disputes the Claim within the period described in clause 13.5.2, the Seller shall be deemed to accept the Claim and shall indemnify the Buyer’s Loss.

13.5.4 If the grounds for a Claim in relation to any of the Seller’s Warranties arise as a result of, or in connection with, a claim by, or alleged liability to, a third party (a “Third Party Claim”),

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the Buyer shall have exclusive conduct of the defense of any Third Party Claim and, subject to the limitations set forth in this clause, shall be entitled to control and appoint lead counsel for such defense, in each case at its own expense. The Buyer shall obtain the prior written consent of the Seller (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before entering into any settlement of such Third Party Claim, if the settlement does not release the Seller and its Affiliates from all liabilities and obligations, including hereunder, with respect to such Third Party Claim or the settlement imposes injunctive or other equitable relief against the Seller or any of its Affiliates, provided that the Seller shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose at its own expense.

13.5.4.1 Each Party shall cooperate, and cause its Affiliates to cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

13.5.4.2 The Buyer must keep the Seller informed on an on-going basis of any significant developments in the matter.

13.6 Exclusivity. After Closing, the rights described in this clause 13 (and clause 16.7) shall be the Buyer’s exclusive remedy for Breach, including the Seller’s Breach of any of the Warranties. Except for the situations described in clause 9, the Buyer is not entitled to terminate (hæve) the Agreement or demand a proportionate reduction of the Purchase Price (forholdsmæssigt afslag) except that the Buyer shall be entitled to rescind the Agreement in the event of Breach of any of the Title Warranties. The Buyer hereby waives any other rights and claims Buyer may have against Seller, whether at law or in equity, relating to the Group or the transactions contemplated hereby. The rights and claims waived by Buyer include claims for contribution or other rights of recovery arising out of or relating to any environmental law (whether now or hereinafter in effect), claims for breach of contract, breach of representation or warranty, negligent misrepresentation and all other claims for breach of duty. Other than in relation to fraud or wilful misrepresentation, the Buyer expressly waives any right to claim damages from the present or former members of the board of directors or management of the Group, or from members of the board of directors or management of the Seller or its Affiliates with respect to any act or omissions of such individuals, in each case, in their aforementioned capacities prior to the Closing Date and the Buyer shall seek its remedy against the Seller exclusively under the provisions of this Agreement.

14 CONFIDENTIALITY AND PUBLICATION

14.1 The Parties shall treat as strictly confidential all information received or obtained as a result of entering into or performing this Agreement, including all information relating to (i) the terms of the Agreement; and (ii) all information concerning the other Party and the Group.

15 GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTES

15.1 The Agreement is governed by and will be interpreted in accordance with Danish law, excluding its conflicts of law rules.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

15.2 Except in relation to Disputed Matters in connection with the finalisation of the Final Purchase Price Calculation pursuant to clause 11 (which shall be resolved in accordance with clause 11.2), any dispute arising out of or in connection with the Agreement, including any dispute concerning its existence or validity, that cannot be settled between the Parties within 20 Business Days of that dispute arising shall be referred to and finally settled by arbitration under the Rules of the London Court of International Arbitration (the “LCIA Rules”) in force when the request for arbitration is submitted, which LCIA Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this clause.

15.3 The arbitration shall be conducted by three arbitrators. Each Party will nominate one arbitrator and the two arbitrators thus nominated shall nominate the third arbitrator and notify the parties to the arbitration and the LCIA Court of such nomination. If a Party fails to nominate an arbitrator in accordance with the LCIA Rules, or if the two initially appointed arbitrators fail to agree on the identity of the third arbitrator within 15 days of the appointment of the second arbitrator, the LCIA Court will appoint the third arbitrator. The third arbitrator shall act as chairman of the Arbitral Tribunal. All arbitrators will be qualified lawyers with at least 15 years’ experience of international commercial transactions and at least 5 years’ experience of sitting as an arbitrator in disputes relating to international commercial transactions.

15.4 The seat or legal place of the arbitration proceedings will be London (although hearings may take place in Copenhagen if the parties to the arbitration agree) and the language of the proceedings will be English.

15.5 Each Party shall pay the fees and other costs of its own advisors in connection with the arbitration. The arbitration shall determine the apportionment of its fees and other costs between the Parties taking the outcome of the arbitration into account.

15.6 The Parties are not entitled to disclose any confidential information relating to the arbitration proceedings to any third party, including information on any decision or arbitration award, unless the other Party has consented in writing to such disclosure. However, either Party is entitled to disclose information relating to the arbitration proceedings to a third party if such disclosure is made to protect its interests in relation to the other Party or to comply with current legislation or public authority decisions, or if such disclosure is required under any listing agreements.

16.5 This Agreement shall become effective when each Party shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Party. Until and unless each Party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Party, this Agreement shall have no effect and no Party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). No provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations, or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

16.6 If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, but would be valid and enforceable if deleted in part or reduced in application, such provision shall apply with such deletion or modification as may be necessary to make it valid and enforceable. Without prejudice to the foregoing, if any provision is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, such provision shall to that extent be deemed not to form part of this Agreement, but the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
