amounts received by his pursuant to those Plans. The Executive hereby agrees to be bound by
such provisions of the Plans both during and following the Employment and, without

17.1Either party may terminate the Executive's employment in accordance with clause 1.3.
17.2The Company may, in its sole discretion, also terminate the Executive's employment with
immediate effect in accordance with this clause 17.2, by giving notice of its intention to pay
the Executive a sum in lieu of notice ("Payment in Lieu of Notice") equal to the basic salary
(calculated by reference to the Executive's basic salary at the date of termination) together
with pension contributions and other benefits that would normally be paid for the notice
period referred to a clause 1.3 if notice had been given (or, if notice has already been given,
during the remainder of the notice period) ("Relevant Period"). The Executive may, in
addition to receiving the Payment in Lieu of Notice, be entitled to a pro rata bonus for the year
in which termination occurs if the Remuneration Committee so decides. If the Remuneration
Committee awards a bonus for this period, it will be paid this at the same time as bonuses for
the year are paid to other executives.
17.3The Payment in Lieu of Notice shall be paid within one month of the date of termination of
the Executive's employment and shall be paid net of tax and subject to such deductions as may be
required by law. The Payment in Lieu of Notice shall be made in settlement of any claims the
Executive may have against the Company or any Group Company in relation to notice.
17.4As an alternative to the Payment in Lieu of Notice being paid in a lump sum, the Company
may pay it in equal monthly instalments from the date on which the Executive's employment
terminates until the end of the Relevant Period.
17.5If the Executive commences alternative employment at a basic annual salary of at least
£50,000, for each month that instalments of the Payment in Lieu of Notice remain payable,
the amount calculated in accordance with clause 17.2 (as is attributable to each monthly
instalment of the Payment in Lieu of Notice) shall be reduced by such sum as is equal to
1/12th of the basic salary in excess of £50,000 the Executive is entitled to receive from the
alternative employment.
17.6Any entitlement that the Executive has or may have under any share incentive plan or annual
bonus plan shall be determined in accordance with the rules of the relevant plan and shall not
be affected by the Executive's receipt of the Payment in Lieu of Notice.
17.7In consideration for the Payment in Lieu of Notice the Executive agrees to remain bound by
the covenants contained in clauses 19 and 20 of this Agreement.
17.8For the avoidance of doubt, the Executive will not be entitled to receive any payment in
addition to the Payment in Lieu in respect of any holiday entitlement that would have accrued
during the period for which the Payment in Lieu is made.
17.9The Company may also terminate the Employment immediately and with no liability to make
any further payment to the Executive (other than in respect of amounts accrued due at the date

court; or

affording relief for insolvent debtors.
This clause shall not restrict any other right the Company may have (whether at common law
or otherwise) to terminate the Employment summarily and any delay by the Company in
exercising its rights under this clause shall not constitute a waiver of those rights.
17.10The Company may also terminate the Employment immediately by giving written notice to
the Executive if the Executive is unable (whether due to illness or otherwise) properly and
effectively to perform his duties under this Agreement for a period or periods totalling 180
days in any period of 365 days.
17.11The Company may terminate the Employment pursuant to clause 17.2 even when, as a result,
the Executive would or may forfeit any entitlement to benefit under the permanent health
insurance arrangements referred to in clause 9 or to sick pay under clause 11 save that the
Company will not terminate the Employment solely on grounds of the Executive’s ill health
where such an entitlement or benefit would be forfeited.
17.12On termination of the Employment for whatever reason (and whether in breach of contract or
otherwise) the Executive will:
17.12.1immediately deliver to the Company all books, documents, papers, laptop(s),
mobile device(s), computer records, computer data, credit cards, and any other
property relating to the business of or belonging to the Company or any other
Group Company which is in his possession or under his control. The Executive is
not entitled to retain copies or reproductions of any documents, papers or
computer records relating to the business of or belonging to the Company or any
other Group Company.
17.12.2immediately resign from any office he holds with the Company or any other
Group Company (and from any related trusteeships) without any compensation
for loss of office. Should the Executive fail to do so he hereby irrevocably
authorises the Company to appoint some person in his name and on his behalf to
sign any documents and do anything to give effect to his resignation from office;
and
17.12.3immediately pay to the Company or any other Group Company all outstanding
loans or other amounts due or owed to the Company or any Group Company. The
Executive confirms that, should he fail to do so, the Company is to be treated as
authorised to deduct from any amounts due or owed to the Executive by the
Company (or any other Group Company) a sum equal to such amounts.
17.13The Executive will not at any time after termination of the Employment represent himself as
being in any way concerned with or interested in the business of, or employed by, the
Company or any other Group Company.
18.SUSPENSION AND GARDENING LEAVE

including duties of good faith and fidelity and remain available to perform such duties (if any)
when called upon by the Company to do so during any period of “garden leave” under clause
18.1.
18.3Any period of “garden leave” under clause 18.1 shall be on full salary and contractual benefits
but, for the avoidance of doubt, the Executive shall not be entitled to any annual bonus in
relation to such period.
18.4The Company may suspend the Executive from the Employment during any period in which
the Company is carrying out a disciplinary investigation into any alleged acts or defaults of
the Executive. Such suspension shall be on full salary and contractual benefits but, for the
avoidance of doubt, the Executive shall not be entitled to any annual bonus in relation to such
period. During any period of such suspension:
18.4.1the provisions of clause 12 shall remain in full force and effect.

Instant Messaging system for purposes that are prohibited in the Company's
policies or rules; and

Monitoring is only carried out to the extent permitted or as required by law and as necessary and
justifiable for business purposes. The Executive therefore consents to the interception and
monitoring by the Company of the telephone calls he makes or receives, his incoming and
outgoing email messages, incoming and outgoing text and/or instant messages on any
Company mobile telephone and the internet sites he accesses during his work. Full details of
the Information Security Acceptable Use Policy and the rules are available on the Company
Intranet.
23.3All documents, communications and other files created, sent, or received on email or through
the internet or intranet are the Company’s property.
23.4Upon request by the Company, the Executive must give the Company access to his Company
telephone, PC, laptop, or other electronic device(s) provided by the Company. Failure to
comply with such a request will be regarded as a serious breach by the Executive and may
result in disciplinary action being taken against him, including dismissal without notice or pay
in lieu of notice.
