The amount of the payment in lieu (or deduction) shall be calculated on the basis of 1/260 of the Executive’s annual salary for each day’s holiday not taken (or taken in excess of the accrued entitlement).


	
                        7.3
 	
                        If either party serves notice to terminate the Appointment the Board may require the Executive to take any accrued but unused holiday entitlement during the notice period (whether or not the Executive is on Garden Leave).
 





	
                        7.4
 	
                        Holiday entitlement shall not accrue for any period during which the Executive is on Garden Leave. Any accrued but unused holiday shall be deemed to be taken during any period of Garden Leave.

                        (v)

                        (e)

                        RESTRICTIONS AFTER TERMINATION
 





	
                        17.1
 	
                        The Executive acknowledges that because of the nature of his duties and the particular responsibilities arising as a result of such duties owed to the Company and each Group Company he has knowledge of trade secrets and confidential business information (including details of customers and suppliers). He is therefore in a position to harm its/their legitimate business interests if he were to make use of such trade secrets or confidential business information for his own purposes or the purposes of another or make available, disclose, or communicate such trade secrets to a third party. Accordingly, having regard to the above, in the light of the consideration provided to the Executive for entering into the restrictions and having taken independent legal advice the Executive accepts that the restrictions in this clause are
reasonable.
 





	
                        17.2
 	
                        The Executive covenants to the Company (for itself and as trustee for each Group Company) that in order to protect the confidential information, trade secrets and business connections of the Company and each Group Company he shall not for the following periods (less any period or periods spent on Garden Leave immediately prior to Termination) after Termination for whatever reason (but excluding repudiatory breach of this agreement by the Company) save with the prior written consent of the Board (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or refused) directly or indirectly, either alone or jointly with or on behalf of any third party and whether on his own account or as principal, partner, shareholder, director, employee, consultant or in any other capacity whatsoever:
 





	
                         
 	
                        (a)
 	
                        for six months following Termination in the Relevant Territory and in competition with the Company or any Group Company engage, assist or be interested in any undertaking which provides Services or Products;
 





	
                         
 	
                        (b)
 	
                        for six months following Termination and in competition with the Company or any Relevant Group Company solicit or interfere with or endeavour to entice away from

the Company or any Group Company any Client or Customer in relation to the supply of Services or Products;


	
                         
 	
                        (c)
 	
                        for six months following Termination in the Relevant Territory and in competition with the Company or any Group Company be concerned with the supply of Services or Products to any Client or Customer;
 





	
                         
 	
                        (d)
 	
                        for six months following Termination and in competition with the Company or any Group Company solicit or interfere with or endeavour to entice away from the Company or any Group Company any Supplier in relation to the supply of Services or Products;
 





	
                         
 	
                        (e)
 	
                        for six months following Termination in the Relevant Territory and in competition with the Company or any Group Company be concerned with the receipt of services or goods from any Supplier where such services or goods are in competition with those supplied to the Company or any Group Company by the Supplier in the period of 12 months prior to Termination and with which supply the Executive was concerned in the said period of 12 months;
 





	
                         
 	
                        (f)
 	
                        for six months following Termination solicit the employment or engagement of any Key Employee in a business which is in competition with the Company or any Relevant Group Company (whether or not such person would breach their contract of employment or engagement by reason of leaving the service of the business in which they work); and
 





	
                         
 	
                        (g)
 	
                        at any time following Termination represent himself as being in any way connected with or interested in the business of the Company or any Relevant Group Company.
 





	
                        17.3
 	
                        Each of the obligations in this clause is an entire, separate and independent restriction on the Executive, despite the fact that they may be contained in the same phrase and if any part is found to be invalid or unenforceable the remainder will remain valid and enforceable.
 





	
                        17.4
 	
                        The Executive acknowledges that each and every restriction contained within this clause is intended by the parties to apply after Termination whether Termination is lawful or otherwise. The restrictions, which are acknowledged to be ancillary in nature, will apply even where Termination results from a breach of a provision within this agreement.
 





	
                        17.5
 	
                        While the restrictions are considered by the parties to be fair and reasonable in the circumstances, it is agreed that if any of them should be judged to be void or ineffective for any reason, but would be treated as valid and effective if part of the wording was deleted, they shall apply with such modifications as necessary to make them valid and effective.
 





	
                        17.6
 	
                        The Executive will (at the request of the Board) enter into a direct agreement with any Group Company under which he will accept restrictions corresponding to the restrictions contained in this clause (or such as will be appropriate in the circumstances) in relation to such Group Company.
 





	
                        17.7
 	
                        The provisions of this clause will not prevent the Executive from holding an Investment.
 





	
                        17.8
 	
                        If the Executive is offered employment or a consultancy arrangement or a partnership or any other engagement with a third party at any time during the Appointment or in the six months following Termination (howsoever arising), he will supply that third party with a full copy of this agreement with the amount of the salary in clause 9.1 redacted.
