rata save that it shall not fall below the Employee's entitlement under the
Working Time Regulations 1998.

15.
OUTSIDE INTERESTS

15.1
Subject to clause 15.2 below, during the Appointment the Employee shall not,
except as a representative of the Company or with the prior written approval of
the Company, whether paid or unpaid, be directly or indirectly engaged,
concerned or have any financial interest in any Capacity in any other business,
trade, profession or occupation (or the setting up of any business, trade,
profession or occupation).

15.2
Notwithstanding clause 15.1 above, the Employee may hold an investment by way of

in on a recognised stock exchange) where such company does not carry on a
business similar to or competitive with any business for the time being carried
on by any Group Company.

15.3
The Employee agrees to disclose to the Company any matters relating to his
spouse or civil partner (or anyone living as such), children or parents which
may, in the reasonable opinion of the Company, be considered to interfere,
conflict or compete with the proper performance of the Employee's obligations
under this agreement.

16.
INCAPACITY

16.1
If absent from work because of Incapacity, the Employee must call the Company
before 10.00am on the first day of absence to inform them of the reason for your
absence and its likely duration. For the avoidance of doubt, a text message is
not acceptable. For absences of seven calendar days or less, the Employee is
required to produce a self-certification form immediately upon return to work.
If the absence continues for eight calendar days or longer the Employee is
required to produce a medical certificate signed by his registered medical
practitioner stating the reason for absence. A new medical certificate must be
produced to cover any subsequent period of absence.

16.2
The Employee agrees to consent to medical examinations (at the Company's
expense) by a doctor nominated by the Company should the Company so require. The
Employee agrees that any report produced in connection with any such examination
may be disclosed to the Company and the Company may discuss the contents of the
report with the relevant doctor.

16.3
The Company operates a Statutory Sick Pay scheme (SSP) and the Employee is
required to co-operate in the maintenance of necessary records. For the purposes
of the SSP, the agreed “qualifying days” are Monday to Friday. The Employee will

9

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

EXHIBIT 10-36

eligible, for any absence due to illness for a maximum of 28 weeks and in
accordance with current legislation.
16.4
In addition the Company provides Occupational Sick Pay (OSP) in some
circumstances (please refer to the Handbook). If eligible, and provided the
Employee complies with his obligations under this Contract, entitlement pro rata
working hours is as follows:

•
On completion of six months service and up to one year: three working days

•
Between one and two years: up to 10 working days

•
Third and subsequent years: up to eight weeks at full pay with further 16 weeks
half pay.

Such payments shall be inclusive of any SSP due in accordance with applicable
legislation in force at the time of the absence. The Company may in its absolute
discretion pay full salary and benefits during sick leave for any period in
excess of those shown above.
16.5
If the Incapacity is or appears to be occasioned by actionable negligence,
nuisance or breach of any statutory duty on the part of a third party in respect
of which damages are or may be recoverable, the Employee shall immediately
notify the Company of that fact and of any claim, compromise, settlement or
judgment made or awarded in connection with it and all relevant particulars that
the Company may reasonably require. The Employee shall if required by the
Company, refund to the Company that part of any damages or compensation
recovered by him relating to the loss of earnings for the period of the
Incapacity as the Company may reasonably determine less any costs borne by him
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 Employee
by the Company in respect of the period of Incapacity.

16.6
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 Employee to
forfeit any entitlement to sick pay or other benefits.

16.7
Pension contributions will continue as normal while the Employee is paid at the
full rate in accordance with this clause 16. If the Employee's pay during any
period of absence is reduced or the Employee is paid SSP only, the level of
contributions in respect of their membership of the Newsquest Stakeholder
Pension Plan or other personal pension plan made available by the Company may
continue, subject to the relevant pension scheme rules in force at the time of
their absence.

17.
OTHER PERIODS OF ABSENCE

If unable to attend work for any reason other than Incapacity, the Employee must
provide full details and receive approval in advance from the Company. Details
of any entitlement to Parental Leave, Dependant Care Leave and Maternity Leave
and other types of leave can be obtained from the Group Human Resources
Department.

10

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

EXHIBIT 10-36

18.
LAY OFF AND SHORT TIME WORKING

The Employee may be laid off from working by the Company due to a temporary
cessation of work. In such event, the Employee’s entitlement to pay during that
period of layoff will cease save that any rights to a statutory guarantee
payment are not affected. The Employee may be put on short time working by the
Company due to a temporary reduction of work. In such event, entitlement to pay
during that period will reduce save that any rights to a statutory guarantee
payment are not affected.
19.
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

19.1
The Employee acknowledges that in the course of the Appointment he will have
access to Confidential Information. The Employee has therefore agreed to accept
the restrictions in this clause 19.

19.2
The Employee shall not (except in the proper course of his duties), either
during the Appointment or at any time after its termination (however arising),
use or disclose to any person, company or other organisation whatsoever (and

Confidential Information. This shall not apply to:

(a)
any use or disclosure authorised by the Company or required by law;

(b)
any information which is already in, or comes into, the public domain other than

any protected disclosure within the meaning of section 43A of the Employment
Rights Act 1996.

20.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

20.1
The Employee acknowledges that all Intellectual Property Rights subsisting (or
which may in the future subsist) in all works made wholly or partially by him at
any time during the course of his employment and all materials embodying such
Intellectual Property Rights belong automatically to the Company to the fullest
extent permitted by law. To the extent that they do not vest automatically in
the Company on creation, the Employee holds them on trust for the Company. The
Employee 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 20.

20.2
The Employee hereby irrevocably waives all moral rights under the Copyright,
Designs and Patents Act 1988 (and all similar rights in other jurisdictions)
which the Employee has or will have in any existing or future works referred to
in this clause 20.

20.3
The Employee irrevocably appoints the Company to be his attorney in his name and
on his behalf to execute documents, use the Employee's name and do all things
which are necessary or desirable for Company to obtain for itself or its nominee
the full benefit of this clause 20. 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

11

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

EXHIBIT 10-36

agreement shall be conclusive evidence that such is the case so far as any third
party is concerned.
21.

Employee for legal, personnel, administrative and management purposes and in

PENSIONS

27.1
The Company sponsors a pension plan which you may apply to join - the Newsquest
Workplace Pension Plan – Enhanced Section (“NWPP - Enhanced Section”).  The NWPP
- Enhanced Section is a group Stakeholder Pension Plan currently operated by
Legal & General Assurance Society Ltd (L&G). The terms of the NWPP – Enhanced
Section are detailed in the Plan Joining Pack, a copy of which is supplied with
this agreement.  The NWPP - Enhanced Section is not contracted-out of the State
Second Pension. 

27.2
The Company reserves the right to provide alternative pension arrangements in
place of the NWPP – Enhanced Section, amend the NWPP – Enhanced Section,
(including the level or type of benefits it provides), terminate the NWPP –
Enhanced Section and withdraw from sponsoring any pension arrangements. In any
of these circumstances, you will be notified of any different pension
arrangements which apply.

27.3
The Company also operates a group personal pension plan in compliance with the
employer pension duties under the Pensions Act 2008. If you are an Eligible
Jobholder, and you choose not to join the NWPP - Enhanced Section, you may be
enrolled automatically as an active member of this plan instead, or such other
registered pension scheme as may be established by the Company to replace the
plan, from the start of your employment. You will be subject then to the rules
of the plan as are in force from time to time. The Company reserves the right to
vary, amend or withdraw the plan, or any of its rules or benefits, at any time
and this may include terminating the plan and taking out a new one with another
pension scheme provider. Further details about the plan, including conditions of
eligibility and the rates of contributions can be obtained by emailing the
payroll department on nwpp.payroll@nqhd.co.uk.

law from time to time and the Company will also pay such contributions to the
plan as it may designate from time to time. Any Company and Employee
contributions paid will be sufficient to maintain the plan’s status as a
qualifying scheme for the purposes of the Pensions Act 2008. Your employee
contributions to the plan will be deducted from your salary and paid into the
plan on a monthly basis in arrears.

A contracting-out certificate is not in force in respect of your employment.
