Page 5 of 21

8.3 Bonus will not become part of the Director’s remuneration package for any purpose including any pension or insurance benefits.

8.4 Except where the terms of the Bonus Scheme expressly so provide or where the Parent Company in its absolute discretion so determines, bonus is not payable if, at the date of payment, the Director is not employed with the Company or has served or been served with notice of termination of employment.

The Director must provide all supporting receipts or documents in respect of such expenses as may be required by the Company.

10 CAR

10.1 Subject to the terms of the Company’s car policy in force from time to time the Company will make available to the Director for her use in performing her duties a car of a type that it deems suitable for her role, and authorises the Director to use it also for her private purposes.

10.8 At any time and for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation if the Director is disqualified (for any reason) from driving a motor vehicle or becomes unable or is no longer required to use the car in order to perform the duties of her employment) the Company may at its discretion withdraw the use and benefit of the car. Where the Company exercises its discretion under this Clause, the Director will have no claim or entitlement to compensation in lieu of the benefit.

11 OTHER BENEFITS

Pension

The Company will pay employer contributions into a personal pension plan nominated by the Director at a rate to be agreed by the parties from time to time and which shall not be less than 3 per cent of the Director’s annual basic salary set out in Clause 7.1 above, [provided that the Director also contributes at least [3] per cent of her annual basic salary to such plan)]. The current Company contribution rate is 10 per cent of the Director’s annual basic salary. The Company’s [and the Director’s] contributions will be made on a monthly basis.

A contracting-out certificate issued in accordance with Part III of the Pension Schemes Act 1993 is not in force in respect of the Director’s employment.

Medical Expenses

Details of the current policy will be supplied on request.

Other Employee Benefits

The Director may be eligible from time to time to receive other benefits generally available to employees of the Company or of any Group Company. The Director will be notified of her eligibility to receive any such benefits, and of the terms on which those benefits are to be made available, when and if she becomes eligible to receive them.

General

11.1.1 The benefits referred to in this Clause 11 are subject to the rules and eligibility requirements of the relevant schemes from time to time and the terms and requirements imposed by any insurer or service provider.

Page 7 of 21

11.1.2 The Company reserves the right to vary the terms of and/or withdraw any scheme or benefit provided under this Clause or to change the provider of any scheme or benefit.

12 SICKNESS OR INJURY

12.1 If the Director is prevented by sickness or injury from properly performing her duties under this Agreement she must report this fact forthwith to the director to whom she reports and must (on her return to work) provide a self-certification form stating the dates of and reason(s) for such absence.

12.2 If the Director is prevented by sickness or injury from properly performing her duties under this Agreement for seven or more consecutive days she must throughout her period of absence maintain at least weekly contact with the director to whom she reports and must provide a medical certificate from her doctor (or other relevant medical adviser) on the eighth day and weekly thereafter.

12.3 Provided that she has complied with the provisions relating to notification contained in Clauses 12.1 and 12.2 the Director will receive statutory sick pay during any absence due to sickness or injury, subject to the provisions governing the statutory sick pay scheme.

12.4 The Company reserves the right to ask the Director to produce a medical certificate at any stage of absence.

12.5 The above provisions do not limit or restrict the Company’s right to review the effect of any illness on the Director’s continued employment with the Company and the Company reserves the right to require the Director to be examined at any time by her own doctor and/or by an independent doctor (in either case at its expense) for the purpose of providing guidance to the Company on any such review. The Director agrees to the results of any such medical examination being disclosed to the Company, which will be entitled to discuss the examination and the results with the person who carried it out and with its advisers.

12.6 If the Director is or has been absent due to sickness or injury for longer than 26 weeks the Company may terminate her employment by giving her notice of not less than her minimum notice entitlement under section 86(1) of the Employment Rights Xxx 0000.

13 HOLIDAYS

13.1 In addition to the 8 public holidays observed by the Company (being the 8 public / bank holidays recognised in England and Wales), the Director is entitled to 25 days’ paid holiday in each holiday year (which runs from 1 January to 31 December in any year) to be taken at times to be agreed in advance with the director to whom she reports. This entitlement includes the Director’s statutory holiday entitlement under the Regulations.

13.2 No holidays may be carried over by the Director from one holiday year to the next except with the prior written consent of the Board (which will only be given in exceptional circumstances).

Page 8 of 21

13.3 Subject to Clause 13.5 below, for the holiday year during which her appointment commences or terminates, the Director is entitled to 2.08 working days’ holiday for each completed calendar month in the employment of the Company during that holiday year.

13.4 On termination of her employment only the Director will be entitled to receive pay in lieu of holiday accrued but untaken, unless the Director is dismissed in accordance with Clause 19.2 in which case her entitlement will be limited to any accrued unused statutory holiday. The Director must repay to the Company (and the Company will be entitled to deduct from any final monies due to her) any pay received for holiday taken in excess of her entitlement.

13.5 During her notice period the Director shall only be entitled to accrue holiday entitlement under the Regulations (which will accrue at the rate of 1.66 days per completed month). The Company may require the Director to take any accrued but untaken contractual or statutory holiday entitlement during her notice period (even if already booked to be taken at a later date).

13.6 The Director and the Company agree that the provisions of this Clause 13 regarding entitlement to and arrangements for paid holiday serve to vary the relevant provisions of the Regulations and that in any holiday year the Director will be deemed to have utilised her entitlement to 20 days’ leave under the Regulations before any other holiday.

13.7 The granting by the Company of additional days of holiday in any one holiday year does not create any right to those holidays in future years.

14.3.3 assist in defending any proceeding relating to, or in any application for or enforcement of, such patent or other protection.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement nor any actual or prospective entitlement to any payments of salary, sick pay or insurance benefits (including any PHI benefits) shall prejudice the Company’s rights to terminate the Director’s employment under this Agreement and the Company may exercise any of its rights to terminate even if this affects the Director’s benefits or future potential benefits or payments.

19.2 The Company may terminate the Director’s employment summarily without notice or payment in lieu of notice or obligation to pay compensation for breach of contract:

19.2.1 if the Director commits any act of dishonesty whether relating to the Company, any Group Company, an employee or otherwise; or

19.4 At any time on or after either party has given notice of any length for any reason to terminate the Director’s employment, the Company may in its absolute discretion make a payment in lieu of the notice stipulated in Clause 4.1, 10.4 or 12.6 (as the case may be) or of any unexpired period of notice in full and final settlement of the Director’s contractual entitlements under this Agreement.

19.5 Any payment in lieu made under Clause 19.4 shall consist solely of a sum equivalent to the Director’s basic salary (at the rate applicable at the date notice is given) and the cost to the Company of providing her other contractual benefits but excluding any bonus payable under Clause 8 for the notice period or any unexpired period of notice as appropriate and shall be subject to such deductions for tax and national insurance as the employer is required to make. The Company may in its absolute discretion elect to maintain the provision of some or all of the Director’s other contractual benefits, as an alternative to making payment in lieu of the same.

19.6 At any time during any period of suspension and/or during the Director’s notice period:

Subject to Clause 19.2, if during the term of this Agreement the Director ceases to be a director of the Company (otherwise than by death), the employment of the Director under this Agreement will nevertheless continue and will thereafter have effect as if she were employed as a manager instead of in the position specified in Clause 3.1.

24 WORKING TIME REGULATIONS 1998

24.1 The Director agrees that Regulations 4(1) and (2), 6(1), (2), and (7), 10(1), 11(1) and (2), and 12(1) of the Regulations do not apply to her because the duration of her working time is not measured or pre-determined or can be determined by her in her capacity as a managing executive with autonomous decision taking powers.

The Director or the Company may terminate that agreement to disapply the 48-hour maximum working week at any time by giving not less than three months written notice to the other, following which period of notice Clause 24.2 above shall no longer have effect though the other Clauses of this Agreement shall continue to apply.

24.4 The Director and the Company agree that in the event that either party exercises the right to terminate the agreement to disapply the 48-hour maximum working week in accordance with Clause 24.3 above the Director will then work a maximum of 48 hours per week on average over any 17-week reference period.

24.5 The Director agrees to co-operate with the Company’s arrangements to monitor her working time.

24.6 If the Director (with the Company’s prior permission) carries out work other than for the Company or any Group Company she is under a duty to inform the Company as to the exact amount of time she takes up in carrying out such work.
