		(c)	if once the claim, action or proceedings have been finally concluded and there has been no adverse

under the laws of any relevant jurisdiction) of the Company or any Associated Companies and for a period of six years after he
ceases to hold any such position, directors' and officers' liability insurance in respect of acts and omissions occurring or alleged
to have occurred in connection with any such position. As and when any such insurance falls for renewal in accordance with its
terms, or the existing policy expires and the Company seeks to obtain alternative cover, the Company shall use its best endeavours
to effect such renewal, or obtain alternative cover subject to the availability of reasonable commercial terms. The Company shall
ensure that the Director is, and all other directors of the Company are, provided at all times with a copy of the Company's current
directors' and officers' liability insurance policy, in so far as it relates to each director, or a summary of the terms thereof.



 


		5.2	Nothing contained in this deed modifies any obligation imposed upon the Director under the terms
of the Company's directors' and officers' liability insurance in force from time to time and nor will the terms of this deed take
precedence over any other obligation, whether under the policy or otherwise, that the Director might have to assist the Company
in complying with any obligations that it may have under the terms of such policy.

		6.1	All sums payable by the Company hereunder shall be paid free and without any rights of counterclaim
or set-off and without deduction and withholding on any ground whatsoever, save only as may be required by law or where the right
of counterclaim or set-off arises as a result of the Director's failure to fulfil those obligations described in clause 5.2.



 


		6.2	If a payment due from the Company under this deed is subject to tax (whether by way of direct assessment
or withholding at its source), the Director shall be entitled to receive from the Company such amounts as will ensure that she
will retain, after payment of the tax so chargeable, the amount she would have retained had the payment not been subject to taxation.

(directly or indirectly) to the circumstances which gave rise to the relevant dismissal; and



 


		(b)	the Director shall forthwith repay to the Company all amounts paid by the Company to or on behalf
of the Director pursuant to this deed to the extent that such payments are related to (whether directly or indirectly) the circumstances
which gave rise to the dismissal.
