of which damages are or may be recoverable, the Executive shall immediately
notify the Board of that fact and of any claim, compromise, settlement or
judgment made or awarded in connection with it and all relevant particulars that
the Board may reasonably require. The Executive shall if required by the
Company, refund to the Company that part of any damages or compensation
recovered by her relating to the loss of earnings for the period of the
Incapacity as the Board may reasonably determine less any costs borne by her in
connection with the recovery of such damages or compensation, provided that the
amount to be refunded shall not exceed the total amount paid to the Executive by
the Company in respect of the period of Incapacity.

The rights of the Company to terminate the Appointment under the terms of this
agreement apply even when such termination would or might cause the Executive to

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

 

 

19.1

The Executive shall give the Company full written details of all Inventions and
of all works embodying Intellectual Property Rights made wholly or partially by
her at any time during the course of the Appointment. The Executive acknowledges
that all Intellectual Property Rights subsisting (or which may in the future
subsist) in all such Inventions and works shall automatically, on creation, vest
in the Company absolutely. To the extent that they do not vest automatically,
the Executive holds them on trust for the Company. The Executive agrees promptly
to execute all documents and do all acts as may, in the opinion of the Company,
be necessary to give effect to this clause 19.1.

 

 

19.2

The Executive hereby irrevocably waives all moral rights under the Copyright,
Designs and Patents Act 1988 (and all similar rights in other jurisdictions)
which she has or will have in any existing or future works referred to in clause
19.1.

 

 

19.3

The Executive irrevocably appoints the Company to be her attorney in her name
and on her behalf to execute documents, use the Executive's name and do all
things which are necessary or desirable for the Company to obtain for itself or
its nominee the full benefit of this clause. A certificate in writing, signed by
any director or the secretary of the Company, that any instrument or act falls
within the authority conferred by this agreement shall be conclusive evidence
that such is the case so far as any third party is concerned.

 

20.

Garden leave

 

 

20.1

Following service of notice to terminate the Appointment by either party, or if
the Executive purports to terminate the Appointment in breach of contract, the
Company may by written notice place the Executive on Garden Leave for the whole
or part of the remainder of the Appointment.

 

 

20.2

During any period of Garden Leave:

 

 

(a)

the Company shall be under no obligation to provide any work to the Executive
and may revoke any powers the Executive holds on behalf of the Company or any
other Group Company;

 

 

(b)

the Board may require the Executive to carry out alternative duties or to only
perform such specific duties as are expressly assigned to the Executive, in
either case commensurate with her skills and experience, at such location
(including the Executive's home) as the Board may reasonably decide;

 

 

(c)

the Executive shall continue to receive her basic salary and all contractual
benefits in the usual way and subject to the terms of any benefit arrangement;

 

 

(d)

the Executive shall remain an employee of the Company and bound by the terms of
this agreement (including any implied duties of good faith and fidelity);

 

 

 
14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

(e)

the Executive shall ensure that the Chief Executive Officer of the Parent knows
where she will be and how she can be contacted during each working day (except
during any periods taken as holiday in the usual way);

 

 

(f)

the Board may exclude the Executive from any premises of the Company or any
other Group Company; and

 

 

(g)

the Board may require the Executive not to contact or deal with (or attempt to
contact or deal with) any officer, employee, consultant, client, customer,
prospective client or customer, intermediary, supplier, partner, agent,
subcontractor, distributor, shareholder, investor, adviser, any prospective
employer of service users or job seekers or other business contact of the
Company or any other Group Company, save for social contact.

 

21.

PAYMENT IN LIEU OF NOTICE

 

 

21.1

Notwithstanding clause 2, the Company may, in its sole discretion, terminate the
Appointment at any time and with immediate effect by notifying the Executive
that the Company is exercising its right under this clause 21 and that it will
make within 28 days a payment in lieu of notice (Payment in Lieu), or the first
instalment of any Payment in Lieu, to the Executive. This Payment in Lieu will
be equal to either:

 

 

(a)

the basic salary (as at the date of termination) which the Executive would have
been entitled to receive under this agreement during the notice period referred
to in clause 2 (or, if notice has already been given, during the remainder of
the notice period) less income tax and National Insurance contributions; or

 

 

(b)

the sum provided for in clause 21.1(a) and the Bonus provided for in clause 10.6
if the Executive enters into the Company’s standard form settlement agreement in
compliance with all of the conditions relating to settlement agreements under
statutory employment legislation as amended from time to time in full and final
settlement of all and any claims or rights of action that the Executive has or
may have against the Company or any other Group Company or their current or
former officers or employees whether arising out of her employment with the
Company, or its termination or from events occurring after the settlement
agreement has been entered into, whether arising under common law, contract,
statute or otherwise, whether such claims are, or could be, known to the
Executive or the Company or any other Group Company or in their contemplation at
the date of the settlement agreement in any jurisdiction and including, but not
limited to, unfair dismissal, breach of contract, discrimination on any grounds
under the Equality Act 2010 or otherwise and the Executive confirms that she has
taken independent legal advice on the terms and effect of such agreement.

 

 

 
15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

21.2

For the avoidance of doubt, the Payment in Lieu shall not include any element in
relation to:

 

 

(a)

in the absence of a settlement agreement pursuant to clause 21.1(b), any Bonus,
incentive or commission payments that might otherwise have been due during the
period in respect of which the Payment in Lieu is made;

 

 

(b)

any payment in respect of benefits which the Executive would have been entitled
to receive during the period for which the Payment in Lieu is made; or

 

 

(c)

any payment in respect of any holiday entitlement that would have accrued during
the period for which the Payment in Lieu is made.

 

 

21.3

The Company may pay any sums due under clause 21.1 in equal monthly instalments
until the date on which the notice period referred to in clause 2 would have
expired if notice had been given. The Executive 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.

 

 

21.4

The Executive shall have no right to receive a Payment in Lieu unless the
Company has exercised its discretion in clause 21.1. Nothing in this clause 21
shall prevent the Company from terminating the Appointment in breach.

 

 

21.5

Notwithstanding clause 21.1, the Executive shall not be entitled to any Payment
in Lieu if the Company would otherwise have been entitled to terminate the
Appointment without notice in accordance with clause 22. In that case the
Company shall also be entitled to recover from the Executive any Payment in Lieu
(or instalments thereof) already made.

 

22.

TERMINATION WITHOUT NOTICE

 

 

22.1

The Company may also terminate the Appointment with immediate effect without
notice and with no liability to make any further payment to the Executive (other
than in respect of amounts accrued due at the date of termination) for Cause.

 

 

22.2

For the purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean the following:

 

 

(a)

Executive commits fraud or theft against the Company or any subsidiaries,
affiliates, joint ventures or related organisations, including any entity
managed by the Company or Parent (collectively referred to as “Affiliates”) or
is indicted, convicted of, or pleads guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony or
any crime involving fraud or moral turpitude.

 

 

(b)

In carrying out her duties hereunder, Executive engages in conduct that
constitutes gross neglect or wilful misconduct that results, in either case, in
material financial or reputational harm to the Company or its Affiliates;

 

 

 
16

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

(c)

Executive materially breaches any provision of this Agreement or any fiduciary
duty or duty of loyalty owed to the Company or its Affiliates or shareholders;

 

 

(d)

Executive engages in any wrongful or questionable conduct which does or which is
reasonably likely to bring the Company or its Affiliates into public disgrace or
embarrassment, or which is reasonably likely to cause one or more of its
customers or clients to cease doing business with, or reduce the amount of
business with, the Company or its Affiliates;

 

 

(e)

Executive repeatedly neglects or refuses to perform her duties or
responsibilities as directed by the Board or any committee established by the
Board, or violates any express direction of any lawful rule, regulation or
policy established by the Company, the Board or any committee established by the
Board which is consistent with the scope of Executive’s duties under this
Agreement, and such failure, refusal or violation continues uncured for a period
ten (10) days after written notice from the Company to the Executive specifying
the failure, refusal or violation and the Company’s intention to terminate this
agreement for Cause.

 

 

(f)

Executive commits any act or omission resulting in or intended to result in
direct material personal gain to Executive at the expense of the Company or its
Affiliates; or

 

 

(g)

Executive materially compromises trade secrets or other confidential and
proprietary information of the Company or its Affiliates.

 

 

22.3

The rights of the Company under clause 22.1 are without prejudice to any other
rights that it might have at law to terminate the Appointment or to accept any
breach of this agreement by the Executive as having brought the agreement to an
end. Any delay by the Company in exercising its rights to terminate shall not
constitute a waiver thereof.

 

23.

23.1

of a period of Garden Leave, the Executive shall:
