3. CONDITIONS

The Indemnitee’s right to claim under the indemnity is conditional upon the following (unless and to the extent waived by the Company at its sole discretion):

3.1 he/she shall give notice to the Company as soon as reasonably possible after becoming aware of any Claim or any circumstance for which there may be Liability under this indemnity;

3.2 he/she shall simultaneously take all reasonable steps and carry out all reasonable actions required to obtain recovery under any applicable policy of insurance and, if applicable, assist the Company in taking all steps and carrying out all actions reasonably required to obtain such recovery on his/her behalf;

3.3 except where the Claim is brought by the Company, save as required by law, he/she shall not make, or permit to be made on his/her behalf, any admission, compromise, release, waiver, offer or payment relating to the Claim or take any other action reasonably likely to prejudice the Company’s ability to defend such a Claim, in each case without the prior written consent of the Company;

3.4 as soon as reasonably possible after receiving a request from the Company, he/she shall provide the Company with written details of the Liability incurred by him/her, providing such level of detail, and evidence, of the Liability as may be requested by the Company acting reasonably;

3.5 except where the Claim is brought by the Company, whether before or after any payment by the Company to him/her pursuant to this Deed, he/she shall give full co-operation and provide such information as the Company (acting reasonably) may require, and do everything that the Company (acting reasonably) may request to enable the Company to exercise its rights under clause 4.1 or be subrogated to the extent of any payment under this Deed; and

3.6 he/she shall take all reasonable actions to mitigate any Liabilities in relation to the relevant Claim.

4. GENERAL

4.1 Except where the Claim is brought by the Company, the Company shall be entitled to take over and conduct in the Indemnitee’s name the defence or settlement of any Claim or to prosecute in his/her name for its own benefit any proceedings relating to a Claim, and shall have full discretion in the conduct or settlement of any proceedings relating to a Claim, save that the Company will not admit the guilt of a Indemnitee or cease to contest proceedings without the prior written agreement of the Indemnitee (not to be unreasonably withheld), unless such settlement solely involves the payment of money by persons other than the Indemnitee and includes an unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all Liabilities that

3

are the subject of the Claim and an acknowledgement that the Indemnitee denies all wrongdoings in connection with such Liabilities, or where such admission of guilt or cessation of proceedings would cause that Indemnitee to lose the benefit of the indemnity set out in clause 1. If the Indemnitee settles any Claim without the prior written consent of the Company, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee against amounts paid in such settlement.

4.2 This Deed shall not modify or waive any of the duties which the Indemnitee owes as an officer or director as a matter of law or under the rules of any relevant stock exchange or other regulatory body.

4.3 The Company shall, in the event that a payment is made to the Indemnitee under this Deed in respect of a particular Liability, be entitled to recover from the Indemnitee an amount equal to any payment received by the Indemnitee under any policy of insurance or from any other third party source to the extent that such payment relates to the Liability, and any such payment to him/her shall be made on that basis. The Indemnitee shall pay over such sum promptly upon the Company’s request.

4.4 The Company shall pay such amount to the Indemnitee so that it leaves the Indemnitee with sufficient funds to meet any Liability to which this indemnity applies after the payment of any tax thereon. For the avoidance of doubt, when calculating the amount of any such tax, the amount of any tax deductions, credits or reliefs which are or may be available to the Indemnitee in respect of the relevant payment under this indemnity received by the Indemnitee is to be taken into account. In the event that any amounts are paid to the Indemnitee under this clause 4.4 but a tax deduction, credit or relief is or becomes available to the Indemnitee in respect of the relevant payment under this indemnity received by the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall make a payment to the Company of such an amount as is equal to the benefit of such deduction, credit or relief which was not taken into account.
