A perusal of both the agreements show that there is nothing to link the two agreements. Nowhere in the agreement it can be seen that there is any link between the two. Under these circumstances, it cannot be said that the sale and purchase agreement has been executed subject to the execution of know-how licence and technical assistance agreement.
