The parties have agreed to vary the terms of the Service Agreement, with retrospective effect from 31 March 2020, so that the notice period at clause 2.1 of the Service Agreement shall be reduced from six months to one month and that, in accordance with the terms of clauses 2.2 and 3.3 (a) of this Agreement, with effect from 1 April and continuing to 30 April 2020 ("Handover Period"), the Employee shall work out that one month notice period, to enable the Employee, as a temporary measure, and on a reduced salary, to complete a handover of his duties to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, his successor Chief Executive Officer, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Handover Period and the employment of the Employee with the Company will terminate on one month's notice with immediate effect on the Departure Date.

2.2

From the date of this Agreement up until 30 April 2020, the Employee agrees that he will co-operate fully with the board of the Company to ensure the smooth handover of his duties to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx. The Employee will be available during the Company's normal business hours to undertake any such duties as the Company may require and the Employee will undertake such duties, as more particularly described but not limited to the duties listed at Schedule 3, for not less than 25 hours a week during the Handover Period.

2.3

The Employee shall not hold himself out or conduct himself as a director of the Company, or any Group Company after 31 March 2020, or as an employee of the Company, or any Group Company after the Departure Date.

2.4

The Company will pay the Employee's outstanding salary and an agreed payment of £3,500 gross (less Deductions) in lieu of accrued but untaken holiday entitlement accrued up to the Departure Date within 14 days of the Departure Date.

2.5

Save as otherwise provided by this Agreement, the Employee’s contractual benefits provided by the Company ceased on 31 March 2020.

The Company announced the Employee’s resignation as a Director and Chief Executive Officer on 31 March 2020 in the terms set out in Schedule 2.

2.8

The Employee will immediately provide the Company with his written resignation from the offices which the Employee held in the Company or any other company and all other appointments, trusteeships, memberships and positions which he held as nominee or representative of the Company with effect from 31 March 2020 in the form attached at Schedule 5 to this Agreement.

COMPENSATION

3.1

Subject to the further provisions of this clause 3, in connection with the termination of the Employee’s employment and subject to and conditional on the Employee complying and continuing to comply fully with the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall pay the Employee without admission of liability the total gross sum of £40,000.00 (the “Settlement Sum”) less any Deductions.

3.2

The Settlement Sum, less any Deductions, shall be paid into the Employee’s nominated bank account within 14 days of the latest of the dates on which the following has occurred:

(a)

receipt by the Company’s solicitors of an original version of this Agreement duly executed by the Employee, and the Certificate signed by the Adviser; and

(b)

the return of the Company’s property in accordance with clause 5 below.

3.3

The Settlement Sum comprises the following:

(a)

£10,000.00 (gross) as payment for the Employee's duties during the Handover Period in accordance with clause 2.2 of this Agreement (“Reduced Salary Payment”); and

(b)

£30,000.00 (gross) paid as compensation to the Employee for the loss of his employment (“Compensatory Payment”).

3.4

The Settlement Sum will be paid less any Deductions. Specifically, the parties agree that the Company will make deductions at source for any income tax and employee’s national insurance contributions which may be required in respect of the Reduced Salary Payment.

3.5

The parties agree that the amount of the Reduced Salary Payment is equal to the amount given by the formula in section 402D (1) of Income Tax (Earnings and Xxxxxxxx) Xxx 0000 ("ITEPA") and that, accordingly, the Employee's Post-Employment Notice Pay (as defined by ITEPA) is nil.

3.6

Accordingly, the parties' understanding is that no part of the Compensatory Payment is taxable as Post-Employment Notice Pay.

3.7

The Compensatory Payment will be paid tax free, as a termination award under the threshold within the meaning of sections 402A(1) and 403 of ITEPA.

3.8

The parties agree that the Settlement Sum is made in good faith and that the Compensatory Payment is paid by way of settlement or compromise of any claim arising in connection with the termination of the Employee’s offices and employment.

INDEMNITY

4.1

The Employee agrees that he is wholly liable for the amount of any tax (including without limitation, income tax and employee’s national insurance contributions), arising in connection with the Settlement Sum or any other payments or arrangements set out in this Agreement, other than any deductions for tax or employee’s national insurance contributions made at source by the Company pursuant to clause 3.4 or otherwise.

4.2

The Employee agrees fully and properly to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company or any Group Company against any demand for tax (including, without limitation, income tax and employee’s national insurance contributions) which may become payable arising from his employment, the Settlement Sum or any other payments or arrangements set out in this Agreement or arising in connection with the termination of his employment with the Company and any interest, penalties, costs, claims, damages or other expenses which the Company or any Group Company may incur in this regard (save for any liability which arises solely as a result of the default or delay of the Company, or any Group Company), including, without limitation, as a result of challenging such demand for tax provided that the Company may choose (in its sole discretion) to challenge any such demand following receipt of a reasonable written request from the Employee, and in the absence of such a request, the Company, or any Group Company, may challenge such tax demand or comply with any such tax demand (in its sole discretion) and, the Employee shall be liable to the Company, or any Group Company, under this indemnity or in relation to any such tax demand (including any liability resulting from a failure to deduct tax).

4.3

For the avoidance of doubt:

(a)

the indemnity in clause 4.2 shall not apply to any tax or national insurance contributions which have already been deducted at source by the Company under clause 3.4 or otherwise; and

(b)

the indemnity in clause 4.2 shall extend to any income tax or employee’s national insurance contributions, penalties and interest in respect of such arising on the Settlement Sum if HM Revenue & Customs do not accept the parties’ agreed treatment of the constituent parts of the Settlement Sum as taxable only under sections 401 and 403 Income Tax (Earnings and Xxxxxxxx) Xxx 0000 or any other tax treatment of any other payment under this Agreement.
