Accordingly, DCL agrees that (subject to Clause 11.7) in the event that SEV terminates the employment of any of the Transferring Employees on the ground of redundancy and:- 11.6.1 the date on which the applicable redundancy notice is issued falls on or within a period of 6 months commencing on and including the Commencement Date; and 11.6.2 a copy of such redundancy notice is served (in accordance with clause 32.1) upon DCL within the same period; then DCL will reimburse the Redundancy Costs validly incurred by SEV in association with such termination(s) to SEV within 14 days of receipt of an invoice from SEV detailing the name of the Transferring Employee, the effective date of termination of their employment and the date and amount of any payment of the Redundancy Costs (including a breakdown of PAYE deducted). 11.7 DCL will reimburse Redundancy Costs to SEV in accordance with Clause 11.6 up to a maximum total sum as set out in Schedule Two ("the Redundancy Cap"). However, in the event that the basis of calculation of the Redundancy Costs applicable to all or any of the Transferring Employees as stated in Schedule Two ("the Anticipated Redundancy Costs") is challenged (whether by one or more of the Transferring Employees or by any trade union, staff association or staff body recognised by DCL or SEV in respect of all or any of the Transferring Employees) with the result that the Anticipated Redundancy Costs are agreed by the parties or adjudged by a competent court or tribunal to be less than the actual Redundancy Costs ("the Actual Redundancy Costs"), DCL agrees to forthwith pay to SEV in addition to the Anticipated Redundancy Costs such sum as represents the difference between the Anticipated Redundancy Costs and the Actual Redundancy Costs; provided that DCL's liability in respect of such difference shall not exceed the sum of ___ 11.8 SEV will for the purposes of its accounts and tax return consider whether any payment received from DCL under the terms of Clause 11.6 can be treated as a non taxable income receipt with a claim being made for the Redundancy Costs as deductible for corporation tax purposes. Provided SEV considers that there are reasonable grounds 15

Omitted portions have been filed separately with the Commission. for submitting its tax return on this basis then upon acceptance by the HM Revenue and Customs of this treatment or upon expiry of the relevant time limit for the HM Revenue and Customs to raise enquiries in relation to the tax return covering the provision of the Maintenance Services SEV will pay to DCL an amount equal to the reduction in the SEV's corporation tax liability attributable to the deductibility of the Redundancy Costs within 14 days of such acceptance or expiry. 11.9 SEV shall only terminate the employment of any Transferring Employees under Clause 11.6 in the event that headcount reductions are necessary (as specified under Clause 11.6) and SEV has used all reasonable endeavours to try and find alternative employment for such employees within SEV. 11.10 SEV hereby undertakes to DCL that it will comply with all relevant legislation and case law and will use best practice in any redundancy process it undertakes in relation to the Transferring Employees where it intends to call upon or does call upon DCL to reimburse any Redundancy Costs so as to ensure that such dismissals are fair and reasonable in all the circumstances. 11.11 DCL acknowledges that SEV requested DCL to provide it with various employment details in relation to the Transferring Employees as set out in Schedule Three ("Transferring Employees Information") before: the Commencement Date DCL used all reasonable endeavours to ensure that it provided SEV with all the Transferring Employees Information and warrants that to the best of its knowledge and belief (having undertaken all reasonable investigations and conducted all relevant enquiries) the Transferring Employees Information was true complete and accurate when given and remains true, complete and accurate until the Commencement Date. 11.12 DCL acknowledges that SEV is relying on the warranty set out in Clause 11.11. 11.13 The rights and remedies of SEV in respect of any breach of the warranty set out in Clause 11.11 shall not be affected by completion of the transfer of the Transferring Employees, by any knowledge of SEV or its advisers, by the rescission or non-rescission of this Agreement, by any investigation made by or on behalf of SEV into the affairs of DCL or by SEV failing to exercise or delaying the exercise of any of its rights or remedies. 11.14 SEV hereby warrants to DCL that as at the date of this Agreement no claim is contemplated against DCL in relation to clause 11.11 11.15 DCL shall subject to clause 11.16 indemnify and keep SEV indemnified against any Liabilities incurred by SEV during a period of 12 months from the Commencement Date or any potential Liabilities of which SEV becomes aware during the period of 12 months from the Commencement Date as a result of a breach by DCL of the warranty set out in clause 11.11 provided that: 11.15.1 SEV promptly notifies DCL of any allegation of loss or damage within a period of 12 months from the Commencement Date. 16

Omitted portions have been filed separately with the Commission. APPENDIX Code of Practice on Acceptable Standards of Maintenance The Department of Transport accepts that many operators, particularly those new to the profession, are unaware of what is needed to meet the required standards, and have issued, in consultation with representatives of the industry a Code of Practice to provide guidance for operators on what is needed for good maintenance. The Code is entitled Guide to Maintaining Roadworthiness, and is published by HMSO. The Preface to the Code repeats the caveat in the Department's Guide to Operator Licensing that the ultimate test of an operator's maintenance system is the condition of his vehicles on the road. It assures operators that if their maintenance systems accord with the Code they will be acceptable to Traffic Commissioners, providing the resulting condition of their vehicles is satisfactory. However, it adds a rider that Traffic Commissioners remain free to require more stringent arrangements than those which the operator proposes. Advice contained in the code The Code offers much sensible advice on what is acceptable. It thus fills the gap which previously existed between the legal requirement for safe operation and the means by which this can be fulfilled. The Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) is now much more specific than hitherto about these means. VOSA examiners have always been prepared to visit operators and advise them on their maintenance. The VOSA is now an Executive Agency with a commercial remit, self funded by the fees it charges for inspections it provides for a commercial fee, courses for goods vehicle operators' staffs responsible for inspecting vehicles. The Code places considerable emphasis on regular inspections of vehicles, including a daily "walkround check", the keeping of records of inspections (Croners' Road Transport Operation: Records and Procedures gives valuable information on the types of records to be kept), and the importance of driver defect reports (including the making of NIL Defects reports where appropriate). The practice of keeping defect reports and records of inspection for 15 months is confirmed in the Code. A clear indication is given that safety inspections should follow a pattern based on time, and that the interval of time between inspections should be determined by operating conditions. Operators are advised to own or have access to means of measuring braking efficiency. The VOSA is currently offering, on an experimental basis, this facility to operators at some goods vehicle testing stations. 32

Omitted portions have been filed separately with the Commission. Maintenance Staff Vehicle maintenance must be carried out by qualified maintenance staff so that the driver is well supported in his operational duties thus enabling him to give maximum productivity during his working hours. Fleet maintenance should be planned, with regular vehicle testing and inspection, to minimise breakdowns on the road and to assist maximum vehicle utilisation. The Driver's Responsibilities The driver is the operator's representative and as such is responsible — with his employer — for any infringement of the law and he should therefore have a working knowledge of the appropriate regulations. Whatever the standards laid down by vehicle operators for maintenance and servicing, ultimately it is the driver who is responsible for reporting on performances He, more than anyone else, handles the vehicle under load, which is the only time when a true test of vehicle performance can be obtained. The driver, therefore, must ensure that he reports in good time, to the maintenance staff, any defects likely to infringe the law or affect the safety requirements. For such purposes a Vehicle Defects Report Sheet should be supplied by the operator to his driver so that any abnormalities can be recorded and dealt with as soon as possible. The items for checking and reporting on the Defects Report Sheet are: (a) fuel, oil and water (b) brakes (c) tyre condition and inflation pressures, spare wheel and jack (d) wheel security, making sure that: (i) all nuts and studs are tight (ii) no nuts or studs are missing (iii) no cracks are evident around wheel holes and where the centre joins the rim (iv) where a wheel has been replaced recently the nuts are tight (these should be checked again after 30 minutes of the work being carried out) Note: A vehicle should not be moved if any problems are found which should be reported immediately. (e) driving mirrors, windscreen wipers and washers (f) lights and reflectors (g) stop-lights and direction indicators (h) steering 33
