PLEASE HELP! DO WE PAY HIS MOBILE BILL? 20th October 2017 3:56 PM

Hello! We are in the process of buying the company my husband currently works for in a share sale. The closing for the deal is jan 1st next year. Its a small company (4 employees) that the owner founded 30 years ago and has always run it to fund his lifestyle. EVERYTHING including his dogs, and their dog food have come out of the company finances. he has agreed within the sale agreement to clear all debts not pertaining to the day to day running of the company by jan 1st, BUT also wants us to keep him on in a "consultancy" role for a year after the sale for £500 a month - to sit at home and do some editing jobs (we print music) and be there incase theres any IT stuff we dont understand. 
HERES THE PROBLEM. on top of this £500 a month (basically 14.5 hrs a week) he is demanding we continue to pay for the home broadband he has currently through the company (its a business only supplier Woav) and his current sim only mobile. 
it amounts to about £50 a month. His exact words were "and of course you'll be keeping my internet and mobile on" - well no. I don't see any way in which this is reasonable, but unfortunately he is somewhat of a toxic personality and has bullied my husband into wanting to just pay him to avoid any further tantrums or unpleasantness....help give us some perspective! please!
