3. Compensation upon Termination of Employment.

Subject to the strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement, upon
Termination of Employment by the Company other than for Cause, Executive will
receive from the Company the following payments and benefits, which shall be
inclusive of any statutory redundancy payment which Executive is entitled to
receive:

 

(a) Cash Bonuses for Years Preceding the Year of Termination.

If any cash bonus pursuant to an Annual Incentive Plan in respect of a
Performance Period which ended before the Year of Termination shall not have
been paid to Executive on or before the Termination Date, the Company will pay
Executive such bonus in the amount of Executive’s award earned for the
Performance Period in the form of a single lump sum cash payment on the later of
the 15th day following the Termination Date or the date that is 2-1/2 months
following the end of the Performance Period. Save as provided for in clause
3(c), no other bonus payment shall be payable.

 

(b) Continuation of Base Salary

The Company will pay Executive an amount equivalent to 15 months of Executive’s
Base Salary as in effect immediately prior to the Termination Date, payable in
accordance with the Company’s normal payroll schedule and payroll practices in
effect from time to time, subject to all applicable withholdings and deductions.

to 15 months of Executive’s Base Salary as in effect immediately prior to the
Executive’s illness leave.

In the event that Executive is made redundant, then any statutory redundancy
payment to which Executive is entitled shall be calculated as of the Termination
Date. The amount of the statutory redundancy payment shall be subtracted from
Executive’s base salary continuation and paid out in a lump sum following the
expiration of a waiting period of that period of time which it would otherwise
have taken Executive to receive the equivalent of the statutory redundancy
payment under the Company’s normal payroll schedule and payroll practices in
effect as of the Termination Date.

 

(c) Payment of Annual Incentive Plan Award for Performance Period Not Completed
Before the Termination Date

If the Termination Date occurs before the last day, but after completion of at
least six months, of a Performance Period under the Annual Incentive Plan, the
Company will pay Executive the Prorated Amount of Executive’s award under the
Annual Incentive Plan for that Performance Period. The amount of the award, from
which the Prorated Amount is derived, shall be determined based on the degree to

the end of the Performance Period (provided that any individual performance
component shall be equal to the target award amount for such component). The
“Prorated Amount” of the award means an amount equal to the portion of the award
which bears the same ratio to the amount of the award as the portion of such
Performance Period expired immediately before the Termination Date bears to the
entire period of such Performance Period. The amount to which Executive is
entitled under this Section 3(c) shall be paid in the form of a single lump sum
cash payment on the date that is 2-1/2 months following the end of the
Performance Period.

 

4

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

(d) Vehicle Allowance

Subject to statutory deductions, during the Severance Compensation Period, the
Company shall continue to pay Executive his monthly cash vehicle allowance that
was in effect as of the Termination Date, in accordance with the Company’s
normal payment schedule and payment practices in effect from time to time.

 

(e) Outplacement

The Company shall reimburse Executive for expenses incurred for outplacement
services during the Severance Compensation Period, up to a gross maximum
aggregate amount of €16,000 inclusive of VAT and outlay, which services shall be
provided by an outplacement agency selected by Executive. The Company shall
reimburse Executive within 15 days following the date on which the Company
receives proof of payment of such expense, which proof must be submitted no
later than December 1st of the calendar year after the calendar year in which
the expense was incurred and although addressed to Executive the amount will be
payable by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall only be
entitled to reimbursement for those outplacement service costs incurred by
Executive on or prior to the last day of the second year following the
Termination Date. Any such payment may be subject to statutory deductions.

 

(f) Health Care Coverage

Subject to statutory deductions, during the Health Care Continuation Period, the
Company will provide health care coverage under the Company’s then-current
health care Plan for Executive and Executive’s spouse and eligible dependents on
the same basis as if Executive had continued to be employed during that period.
If not permitted under the relevant Plan, and subject to statutory deductions,
the Company shall pay an amount equivalent to the cost to it of providing cover
for the Executive and Executive’s spouse and eligible dependants on the same
basis as if the Executive had continued to be a member of the Plan during the
Health Care Continuation Period.

 

(g) Life and Accident Insurance

Subject to statutory deductions and the terms, limitations and exclusions of the
Plan or Plans for provision of life and accident insurance and the Company’s
related policies of group insurance, during the Insurance Benefits Period the
Company will provide life and accident insurance coverage for Executive
comparable to the life and accident insurance coverage which Executive last
elected to receive as an employee under the applicable Plan for such benefits,
subject to modifications from time to time of the coverage available under such
Plan or related insurance policies which are applicable generally to global
executive officers. The cost of providing such insurance will be borne by the
Company and Executive in accordance with the Company’s policy then in effect for
employee participation in premiums, on substantially the same terms as would be
applicable to a global executive officer. The Company shall pay its share of
such premiums to the applicable insurance carrier(s) on the due date(s)
established by such

 

5

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

carrier(s), but in no event later than the last day of the calendar year in
which such due date(s) occurs. If not permitted under the relevant Plan, and
subject to statutory deductions, the Company shall pay an amount equivalent to
the cost to it of providing cover for the Executive and Executive’s spouse and
eligible dependants on the same basis as if the Executive had continued to be a
member of the Plan during the Health Care Continuation Period.

 

(h) Taxable Benefits

The Company shall deduct all taxes and levies from any emoluments, payments or
benefits provided under this Agreement (including PAYE, employees PRSI, health
contributions or any other taxes or levies which the Company and/or Group is
obliged to deduct from emoluments, payments or benefits provided to Executive,
but excluding employers PRSI). In the event that the amounts deducted are
insufficient to discharge the Company’s liability, Executive hereby agrees to
indemnify the Company and / or Group for all taxes and benefit contributions
arising therefrom. The Company shall pay all interest, penalties, costs, and
expenses incurred due to its own negligent failure to make required deductions
from Executive’s compensation. The amount payable by Executive under this clause
will be such amount as will leave the Executive in the same position (after
settling all taxes, levies, interest, penalties, costs and expenses), as he
would have been if the correct deductions had been made from all emoluments,
payments or benefits provided under this Agreement at the time such deductions
were due.

 

4. Deductions and Taxes

For the avoidance of doubt, all amounts payable or benefits provided by the
Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid net of (i) taxes withheld or
deducted by the Company in accordance with the requirements of law and
(ii) deductions for the portion of the cost of certain benefits to be borne by
Executive. The Company reserves absolute discretion to determine the manner in
which tax should be applied to any such amounts or benefits.

 

5. Compensation and Benefits Pursuant to Other Agreements and Plans

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to diminish or otherwise affect
Executive’s right to receive from the Company all compensation payable to
Executive by the Company in respect of his Employment prior to the Termination
Date pursuant to any agreement with the Company (other than this Agreement) or
any Plan.

 

6. Executive’s General Release and Resignation from Board of Directors

As a condition to the obligations of the Company to pay severance compensation
and provide benefits pursuant to Section 3, the Company shall have received from
Executive on the Termination Date a written resignation from the Board and as an
officer and director of the Company, the Group, all of its Affiliates and a
general release up to the Termination Date in substantially the form of Exhibit
A and updated as necessary to

 

6

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

reflect any changes in statutory references, relevant benefits plans as
identified or such other changes as required, executed by Executive (the
“Release”), and Executive shall not thereafter seek to withdraw or in any way
challenge to the effect or scope of the Release. If Executive fails to resign
from the Board of the Company or any Affiliate by the Termination Date or fails
to execute, or if Executive seeks to withdraw from the Release or to in any way
challenge the effect or scope, or acts in any way to suggest he is no longer
bound by the Release, no payments or benefits shall thereafter be made or
provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, and Executive may be required
to reimburse to the Company any payments or benefits received by Executive
pursuant to this Agreement, but Executive’s obligations pursuant to this
Agreement and Sections 7 and 8 in particular shall continue in force.

 

7. Confidential Information

Executive acknowledges that, by reason of Executive’s employment by and service
to the Company, Executive has had and will continue to have access to
