Third sheet | page five |
Both bank transfers shall be made immediately. | ||
Terms of sale
1. | The property sold here is transferred in its present condition, well known to the Buyer, with all dependencies on the property, in accordance with the law and the instructions from the Property Registry, to which the parties refer. | |
The Seller is responsible for removing the old ASCOM SA fixtures from factory no. 52. All electrical and heating connections have been removed. | ||
However, the following fixtures have been kept: |
| Gas heating installations (2 burners) | ||
| Air compressor installations | ||
| 560 KVA diesel backup generator | ||
| Self-contained ventilation units and compressor units |
It is imperative that these fixtures be inspected before they are put back into service. Especially the heating and compressed air installations need to be inspected by the appropriate agencies before they are put back into service to avoid any risk of explosion. Ad hoc documentation has been delivered to the Buyer. | ||
2. | It is expressly stated that no guarantee is made against any apparent or hidden defects at the site being sold or in its structures and fixtures (Article 197 ff. and 219 CO). | |
However, the undersigned public notary has informed the parties that the present clause of exclusion from guarantee does not apply in the following two cases: |
[Bottom right of each page: stamped seal of the public notary Fritz Stahl, with coat-of-arms]
page six
| If the Seller has fraudulently hidden the defects (Article 199 CO) and | |
| If the defect is completely outside of what the Buyer should reasonably expect as to its nature and size, to the point that it seriously compromises the financial purpose of the contract (ATF 130 III 686, JT 2005 I 247). | |
The Buyer knows that the buildings on the site require a certain amount of work to be put back in good condition. In particular, factory no. 28, occupied by INTERSEMA SENSORIC SA, has leaks and insulation problems at the windows and in the walls (for example, leaks on the south facades and deformed windows). The Buyer is informed that ISOLAGEN has made available to INTERSEMA an additional cooling unit with power equivalent to the unit installed in factory no. 28, located outside the factory and serving the back- up generator and support unit to meet the increased power demand for cooling during critical periods. Ownership of this equipment is also transferred to the Buyer. | ||
The roof of the building for factory no. 52 also has leaks that need to be attended to relatively soon, at the expense of the Buyer. The Buyer knows that all electrical and heating connections have been removed. | ||
3. | The Buyer has been informed by the undersigned public notary of the contents of Article 54 of the LF [= federal act] on insurance policies. | |
4. | Taking material possession and the transfer of profits and risks take place on 31 March 2008 (thirty-one March, two thousand eight). | |
The property transfer takes place at the time of signing this document at the Property Registry Office within the legal deadline of ten days. | ||
5. | A buyer-seller price adjustment (also including the rent and the insurance premiums and utility costs) will be drawn up by the Seller on 31 March 2008. | |
6. | A set of keys is given to the Buyer on this date. | |
7. | The fees for this document, in particular the authorizations, the public notarys fee and the Property Registrys fees, are divided in half between the parties. |

8. | The buyer is taking over the existing lease with INTERSEMA SENSORIC SA and the Agreement dated 28 January 2005 between ISOLAGEN and INTERSEMA. These two documents have been delivered to the Buyer, which states that it is aware of same and is taking the place of the Seller. | |
9. | The Buyer is taking over the maintenance contract: | |
Of the burners, with SIXMADUN AG. |
The contract has been delivered to the Buyer. |
10. | The LCDir 247 consignation is in the hands of the undersigned public notary. The public notary has given adequate explanations in this regard. |
11. | The State of Neuchâtels right to purchase, annotated under no. 1855, subsists without modification. The indemnification payment already made to the Seller remains the Sellers property. Indemnification payments yet to be received are the Buyers property. |
An area of 525 m2 resulting from the construction of the N5 [a highway] will subsequently be transferred to the State of Neuchâtel. The new property will be recorded under no. 7656, with a surface area of 21,139 m2. All expenses for updating will be paid by the State of Neuchâtel. |
The undersigned public notary will write to the State of Neuchâtel so the Property Register can be updated as soon as possible. |
12. | The indemnification payment still to be received from E-Group (826 Swiss francs) remains the Sellers property. |
IV. TAKE-OVER OF MORTGAGES
The Buyer, with no compensation due to the Seller, is taking over mortgage certificates nos. 47.1969 and ###-###-####.
[Bottom right of each page: stamped seal of the public notary Fritz Stahl, with coat-of-arms]
page eight
It is specifically stated that the mortgage certificates are being taken over free of any third party rights, that they do not cover any debt currently unpaid, and that the Buyer strictly will not assume any debt or other obligation deriving from taking over the mortgages.
The undersigned public notary has delivered the two certificates to Urs Guler, Esq. on this day. His signature is equivalent to a receipt therefor.
V. LFAIE
This purchase is not subject to approval under the LFAIE, Article 2, section 2 (industrial area).
Furthermore, the purchaser is a company that is totally integrated in the Swatch Group, meaning that it is an entity that is clearly not subject to approval in the meaning of the LFAIE.
