Normally no more than two weeks may be taken consecutively unless specific prior permission is obtained from the Chairman. Holidays may not be carried forward from one holiday year to the next without the Board’s prior approval.

The Executive will use his best endeavours to prevent the unauthorised copying use or disclosure of such information.
	For the purposes of this agreement, “trade secrets” and “confidential information” include but will not be limited to technical data, know-how, information technology and know-how relating to the Company, customer lists, pricing information, information relating to the Company’s marketing and financial strategies, marketing materials, financial information and any other information concerning the affairs of the Company which is for the time being confidential, which the Executive is told is confidential or which by its nature is obviously confidential and whether such information is in written, oral, visual, electronic  or any other form.
10.2	In the course of the Employment the Executive is likely to obtain trade secrets and confidential information belonging or relating to other Group Companies and other persons.

7

All Intellectual Property which the Executive develops or produces in the course of his employment duties, or outside such duties but relating to the business of the Company, will be owned by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Executive agrees, at the Company’s expense, to sign all documents and carry out all such acts as will be necessary to vest such Intellectual Property in the Company, and to obtain protection and enforce the Company’s rights anywhere in the world. The Executive also hereby waives all moral rights in all Intellectual Property which is owned by the Company, or will be owned by the Company, further to this clause. The Executive will not copy, disclose or make use of any Intellectual Property belonging to the Company (whether or not subject to this clause) except to the extent necessary for the proper performance of his duties. Rights and obligations under this clause will continue after the termination of this agreement in respect of all Intellectual Property arising during the Employment.

If there is any doubt as to whether such a document (or other thing) has been carried out within the authority conferred by this clause 11.10, a certificate in writing (signed by any director or the secretary of the Company) will be sufficient to prove that the act or thing falls within that authority.
11.11	For the avoidance of doubt the terms of this Clause 11 may be read to relate to any Group Company in addition to or in substitution for the Company, as appropriate, and by entering into this Agreement the Executive acknowledges that any Group Company can rely upon its terms and enforce them on the same basis as the Company.

12.5	The Company may terminate the Employment by giving written notice to take immediate effect if the Executive:
	12.5.1	commits any serious or persistent breach of his obligations under this Agreement; or

13.1	Neither the Company nor any Group Company is under any obligation to provide the Executive with any work.

13.3

The Company may require the Executive to immediately resign from any directorship, trusteeships or other offices which he holds in the Company, any other Group Company or any other company where such directorship or other office is held as a consequence or requirement of the Employment, unless he is required to perform duties to which any such directorship, trusteeship or other office relates in which case he may retain such directorships, trusteeships or other offices while those duties are ongoing.

The terms of clause 12.3 will apply to any payment in lieu of the balance of any period of notice made under this clause 13.5.
13.6	During the Garden Leave Period:

	13.6.1	the Executive shall provide such assistance as the Company or any Group Company may require to effect an orderly handover of his responsibilities to any individual or individuals appointed by the Company or any Group Company to take over his role or responsibilities;
	13.6.2	the Executive shall make himself available to deal with requests for information, provide assistance, be available for meetings and to advise on matters relating to work (unless the Company has agreed that the Executive may be unavailable for a period); and
	13.6.3	the Company may appoint another person to carry out his duties in substitution for the Executive.

13.8	The Executive agrees that the exercise by the Company of its rights pursuant to this clause 13 shall not entitle the Executive to claim that he has been constructively dismissed.
14	Restrictions after Termination of Employment
14.1	In this clause:
	“Prohibited Area” means any country in the world in which the Company or a Group Company has material business interests;
	“Relevant Date” means the Termination Date or, if earlier, the date on which the Executive commences any Garden Leave Period; and
	“Restricted Period” means in relation to clause 14.2.1 the period of 6 months commencing on the Termination Date and in relation to clauses 14.2.2 to 14.2.4 (inclusive) the period of 12 months commencing on the Termination Date, in each case  less any Garden Leave Period.
14.2	The Executive is likely to obtain trade secrets and confidential information and personal knowledge of and influence over customers, clients and employees of the Group during the course of the Employment. To protect these interests of the Company, the Executive agrees with the Company that he will be bound by the following covenants:

14.2.1 during the Restricted Period and within the Prohibited Area he will not be engaged in, employed in, or carry on for his own account or for any other person, whether directly or indirectly, (or be a director of any company engaged in) any business

12

		which is or is about to be in competition with any business of the Company or any other Group Company being carried on by such company at the Relevant Date provided he was concerned or involved with that business to a material extent at any time during the 12 months prior to the Relevant Date;
	14.2.2	during the Restricted Period he will not (either on his own behalf or for or with any other person), whether directly or indirectly, canvass or solicit in competition with the Company or any other Group Company the custom of any person who at any time during the 12 months prior to the Relevant Date was a customer or client of, or in the habit of dealing with, the Company or (as the case may be) any other Group Company and in respect of whom the Executive had access to confidential information or with whose custom or business the Executive was personally concerned or employees reporting directly to him were personally concerned;
	14.2.3	during the Restricted Period he will not (either on his own behalf or for or with any other person, whether directly or indirectly,) deal with or otherwise accept in competition with the Company or any Group Company the custom of any person who was at any time during the 12 months prior to the Relevant Date a customer or client of, or in the habit of dealing with, the Company or (as the case may be) any Group Company and in respect of whom the Executive had access to confidential information or with whose custom or business the Executive was personally concerned;
	14.2.4	during the Restricted Period he will not (either on his own behalf or for or with any other person, whether directly or indirectly) entice or try to entice away from the Company or any other Group Company any person who was a director or officer of the Company or any employee employed at an executive grade in the Company at the Termination Date and with whom the Executive had worked closely at any time in the twelve months prior to the Relevant Date.

14.3	Each of the paragraphs contained in clause 14.2 constitutes an entirely separate and independent covenant. If any covenant is found to be invalid this will not affect the validity or enforceability of any of the other covenants.
14.4	Following the Termination Date, the Executive will not represent himself as being in any way connected with the businesses of the Company or of any other Group Company (except to the extent agreed by such a company).
14.5	Any benefit given or deemed to be given by the Executive to any Group Company under the terms of clause 14 is received and held on trust by the Company for the relevant Group Company. The Executive will enter into appropriate restrictive covenants directly with other Group Companies if asked to do so by the Company.
15	Offers on Liquidation
	The Executive will have no claim against the Company if the Employment is terminated by reason of liquidation in order to reconstruct or amalgamate the Company or by reason of any reorganisation of the Company and the Executive is offered employment with the company succeeding to the Company upon such liquidation or reorganisation and the new terms of employment offered to the Executive are no less favourable to him than the terms of this Agreement.

13

16	Return of Company Property
16.1	At any time during the Employment (at the request of the Company) and in any event when the Employment terminates, the Executive will immediately return to the Company:

	16.1.1	all documents and other materials (whether originals or copies) made or compiled by or delivered to the Executive during the Employment and concerning all the Group Companies. The Executive will not retain any copies of any materials or other information; and
	16.1.2	all other property belonging or relating to any of the Group Companies.

16.2	When the Employment terminates the Executive will immediately return to the Company any car provided to the Executive which is in the possession or under the control of the Executive. The Company car must be returned in good condition (allowing for fair wear and tear).
16.3	If the Executive commences Garden Leave in accordance with clause 13 he may be required to comply with the provisions of clause 16.1.
17	Directorships
17.1	The Executive’s office as a director of the Company or any other Group Company is subject to the Articles of Association of the relevant company (as amended from time to time). If the provisions of this Agreement conflict with the provisions of the Articles of Association, the Articles of Association will prevail.
17.2	The Executive must promptly resign from any office held in any Group Company if he is asked to do so by the Company.
17.3	If the Executive does not resign as an officer of a Group Company, having been requested to do so in accordance with clause 17.2, the Company will be appointed as his attorney to effect his resignation. By entering into this Agreement, the Executive irrevocably appoints the Company as his attorney to act on his behalf to execute any document or do anything in his name necessary to effect his resignation in accordance with clause 17.2. If there is any doubt as to whether such a document (or other thing) has been carried out within the authority conferred by this clause 17.3, a certificate in writing (signed by any director or the secretary of the Company) will be sufficient to prove that the act or thing falls within that authority.
17.4	The termination of any directorship or other office held by the Executive will not terminate the Executive’s employment or amount to a breach of terms of this Agreement by the Company.
17.5	During the Employment the Executive will not do anything which could cause him to be disqualified from continuing to act as a director of any Group Company.

22	Miscellaneous
22.1	This Agreement may be entered into in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any party may enter into this Agreement by executing any such counterpart.

The Executive acknowledges that he has not been induced to enter into this Agreement by any representation, warranty or undertaking not expressly incorporated into it or the offer letter. The Executive agrees and acknowledges that his only rights and remedies in relation to any representation, warranty or undertaking made or given in connection with this Agreement (unless such representation, warranty or undertaking was made fraudulently) will be for breach of the terms of this Agreement, to the exclusion of all other rights and remedies (including those in tort or arising under statute).

22.7	If either party agrees to waive his rights under a provision of this Agreement, that waiver will only be effective if it is in writing and it is signed by him.
