enforceable.

Capacity. Should the Employee obtain such future employment within the specified

provisions of this paragraph.

obliged to draw the provisions of this clause 6 to the attention of any Entity
who may at any time before or during the period of 12 months after the
Termination Date offer to employ, engage or involve the Employee in any
Capacity, in a business in circumstances where such engagement or involvement
will or might, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, cause the Employee
to be in breach of this Agreement.

6.9

Subject to the provisions of clause 6.11, the Company shall pay to the Employee
for the duration of the period of restriction referred to in clause 6.1 (as such

payment calculated at the rate of the basic salary which was payable to the
Employee at the Termination Date (and will not include any bonuses, commissions,
or other forms of compensation), such payments to be made in accordance with the
Company's usual monthly payroll procedures during the period of restriction and

provisions of clause 6.1 at any time (whether before the commencement of or
during the period of restriction provided for in that clause), in which case its
obligations to make payments pursuant to the provisions of clause 6.10 shall
cease immediately on the date that such release takes effect. Such release of
clause 6.1, if made by the Company, will not waive, terminate or otherwise
affect any other clauses or obligations upon the Employee under the Agreement.

Associated Company or the Group or their nominee absolutely.

7.3

paragraph or otherwise.

7.10

proposed to be used by the Company, any Associated Company or the Group, without

Group and at all times thereafter the Employee will (whether by omission or
commission) do nothing to affect or imperil the validity of the protection for

Miscellaneous

    
16.1
