The Employee’s employment will terminate immediately and any ▇▇▇▇▇ due to the Employee in accordance with the provisions of this clause 21.1 will subsequently be paid.

The Employee shall be obliged to seek alternative income during this period and to notify the Company of any income so received. The instalment payments shall then be reduced by the amount of such income.

21.3

The Employee shall have no right to receive a ▇▇▇▇▇ unless the Company has exercised its discretion in clause 21.1. Nothing in this clause 21 shall prevent the Company from terminating the Employee’s employment under this Agreement in breach.

Notwithstanding clause 21.1, the Employee shall not be entitled to any ▇▇▇▇▇ if the Company would otherwise have been entitled to terminate the Employee’s employment under this Agreement without notice in accordance with clause 22. In that case the Company shall also be entitled to recover from the Employee any ▇▇▇▇▇ already made.

21.5

On termination of the employment howsoever arising the Employee shall not have any claim for breach of contract in respect of the loss of any rights or benefits under any share option, bonus, long-term incentive plan or other profit sharing scheme operated by the Company or by any Group Company in which the Employee may participate which would otherwise have accrued during the period of notice to which the Employee is entitled under clause 2 of the Agreement.
