(2)The agreement may provide—
(a)for the transfer or retention of any property, rights and liabilities, with or without conditions, and for the joint use of any property;
(b)for the making of payments by either party to the agreement in respect of property, rights and liabilities so transferred or retained, or of such joint use, and in respect of the remuneration or compensation payable to any person ; and
