                                         Executive to be disqualified from continuing to act as a director of any Group Company
                                         or lose approval as an “Approved Person” by the FSA under the FSMA

                                         which would cause the Executive from becoming an “Approved Person” in the

                                         Employer in its sole and absolute discretion may from time to time determine. In accordance
                                         with clause 4.11 below payment of such a bonus or participation in a bonus scheme is
                                         not a contractual entitlement. Notwithstanding the discretionary nature of the bonus
                                         scheme, in recognition that the Executive may by reason of accepting Employment with

                                         March 2011 (the “Bonus Award Date”) and provided always that the
                                         Executive remains employed by the Employer (or another Group Company) and has not given
                                         or received notice to terminate the Employment at the Bonus Award Date, procure
                                         the making to the Executive of a bonus award to the value of £500,000
                                         less the value of any bonus award for 2010 made or agreed to be made to the Executive
                                         by Santander. The bonus award shall be subject to the Employer’s policy
                                         in relation to payment, deferral, malus and clawback prevailing at the Bonus Award

		3.4	The
                                         Executive will be eligible to participate in any all-employee share schemes or other
                                         benefits provided to all employees, or to be considered for participation in any discretionary
                                         scheme, operated or offered by the Employer or any Group Company from time to time in
                                         accordance with the relevant rules (including without limitation any rules as to eligibility).

                                         or other employee benefit plan, scheme or arrangement is not a contractual entitlement
                                         except to the extent of any specific awards or entitlements made or notified to the Executive
                                         and, for the avoidance of doubt it is agreed that the provisions set out in Clause 5
                                         are contractual and binding on the Employer.

                                         will pay the Executive an annual expatriate allowance of £36,000 net of tax (which
                                         shall be grossed up to take account of tax payable by the Executive). The expatriate
                                         allowance shall not be treated as salary or taken into account for the purposes of calculating
                                         bonus or other awards, pension contributions or benefits or any other benefits provided

the Executive does not join the Scheme or subsequently opts out, the Employer will pay to the Executive or to a pension scheme
nominated by the Executive an amount equal to 25% of the annual salary referred to in Clause 3.1 from time to time as a non-pensionable
cash supplement. Such allowance will be payable in equal monthly instalments.


 


The
Executive acknowledges that in signing this contract the Executive will be deemed to have opted out of the “personal accounts”
arrangements due to be implemented from 2012 in the United Kingdom (except and to the extent that this is the arrangement which
the Employer designates as the Scheme).


 


Currently,
a Contracting-Out Certificate pursuant to the provisions of the Pensions Act 1995 is not in force in respect of the Executive’s
employment.


 


The
contribution or allowance paid by the Employer will not be taken into account for the purposes of calculating bonus or other such
payments as provided for in clause 3.1 above and shall be exclusive of the Executive’s 4% flexible benefit allowance.



    	 



    	



    

		4.2	This
                                         Clause shall apply where the Executive loses rights to payments pursuant to a letter
                                         agreement dated 15 December 2008 between Santander, S.A. and the Executive. In recognition
                                         that the Executive will by reason of accepting employment with the Employer, suffer loss
                                         in relation to payments on retirement by virtue of his loss of rights as referred to
                                         in this Clause, the Employer has agreed to establish for the Executive as soon as reasonably
                                         practicable an unfunded pension arrangement for and in respect of the Executive (in terms
                                         to be agreed with the Executive and subject to complying with any requirements of the
                                         FSA, including its Remuneration Code, as amended from time to time) to compensate him
                                         for the loss of payments under his existing arrangements.



 


		4.3	Flexible
                                         Benefits



 


The
Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Flexible Benefits Scheme. The Executive shall receive in addition to salary
a 4% flex cash allowance each month which the Executive can use, together with up to 50% of salary, to select from a range of
benefits. Eligibility for flexible benefits will commence on the 1st day of the following month after the Commencement Date.


 


		4.4	Salary
                                         sacrifice arrangements



 


The
Employer has or may at some stage introduce a salary sacrifice arrangement. Under this arrangement some or all of the Executive’s
pension contributions payable to the Scheme from time to time (which may at the Employer’s discretion include both regular
or mandatory contributions or voluntary contributions) are currently or will be paid on the Executive’s behalf by the Employer
in return for a reduction in the Executive’s salary (although pension and life cover benefits will be calculated without
regard to this reduction).  By signing and/or entering into this contract the Executive has agreed to this reduction.  The
Executive is therefore automatically a member of the salary sacrifice scheme (if one is already in place) or alternatively will
join the salary sacrifice arrangement if it is introduced unless the Executive chooses to opt out as permitted under the terms
of the salary sacrifice arrangement.


 


		4.5	Rights
                                         of the Employer



 


The
Employer shall be entitled at any time to terminate or vary the Scheme or the Executive’s membership of it. For the avoidance
of doubt termination of the Scheme shall not affect the Executive’s entitlement to receive an amount equal to 25% of the annual
salary as a pension allowance.


 


		4.6	Car
                                         Allowance

The
Executive will be provided with Life Cover.


 


The
amount of Life Cover in the event of the Executive’s death during the Employment will be equal to four times the annual
salary set out in Clause 3.1 (as revised from time to time), irrespective of whether or not the Executive is a member of any pension
scheme operated by the Employer.


 


If
the Executive joins the Scheme for retirement benefits, depending on the Executive’s circumstances at the time of the Executive’s
death, there may be a further benefit available of up to four times the annual salary set out in Clause 3.1 (as revised from time



    	 



    	



    

to
time). The provision of any such benefit will be as provided for in the terms of the New Scheme.


 


Such
Life Cover will be provided under the terms of any arrangement designated by the Employer and notified to the Executive (subject
to the proviso that any Life Cover in excess of the Lifetime Allowance applicable to registered pension schemes will be provided
by the Employer or through an arrangement other than a registered pension scheme).

                                         his spouse and his dependent children subject to and in accordance with such terms from
                                         time to time on which any appointed supplier provides cover (including eligibility requirements).
                                         In addition, the Employer will provide Permanent Health cover at a level and on terms
                                         to be agreed with the Executive. If and to the extent that the Employer reduced, varies
                                         or withdraws the private health scheme or permanent health cover for all other participants,
                                         the arrangements in this clause may also be reduced, varied or withdrawn by the Employer
                                         to the same extent.

                                         Agreement shall be subject to such deductions for tax and National Insurance as the Employer
                                         is required to make by law or the tax and/or National Insurance authorities. Professional

                                         scheme or arrangement (“Plan”) is not a contractual entitlement and on termination
                                         of the Employment the Executive will have no right to compensation or otherwise against
                                         the Employer or any other Group Company by reason of no longer being able to participate
                                         in any such Plan.

                                         payment under this clause will be retained by the Executive and not lapse. If the Executive
                                         ceases to be an employee of the Group:



 


		5.8.1	because
                                         he is Dismissed for Cause or by reason of his voluntary resignation (i.e. in circumstances
                                         in which he is not entitled to resign without notice owing to the conduct of the Group),
                                         any outstanding payment will lapse on the Termination Date; or



 


		5.8.2	for
                                         any other reason (including Absence Dismissal under Clause 11.3) any outstanding payment
                                         will not lapse and will be paid on the due date.




    	 



    	



    

		6	Holiday
                                         and Expenses



 


		6.1	The
                                         Executive shall be entitled during the Employment to 30 working days holiday in each
                                         calendar year plus bank holidays. Holiday may only be taken at such time or times as
                                         the Executive’s line manager shall approve. The Executive’s holiday entitlement
                                         shall be pro rated for the year in which the Employment begins and for the year in which
                                         the Employment ends.



 


		6.2	The
                                         Employer will refund to the Executive all reasonable expenses properly incurred by the
                                         Executive in performing the duties under this Agreement, provided that these are incurred
                                         in accordance with Employer’s policy from time to time. The Employer will require
                                         the Executive to produce receipts or other documents as proof for any expenses claimed.



 


		7	Confidentiality



 


		7.1	Without
                                         prejudice to the common law duties which the Executive owes to the Employer, the Executive
                                         agrees to preserve the confidentiality of any trade secrets and/or confidential information
                                         belonging or relating to the Employer or its employees or relating to the Works, in whatever
                                         form (written, oral, visual and electronic), whether of a technical or commercial nature,
                                         disclosed to the Executive by or on behalf of the Employer or its employees or otherwise
                                         comes under the control of the Executive in the course of the Employment (“Confidential
                                         Information”), and agrees not to (except in so far as may be strictly necessary
                                         for the proper performance of the duties under this Agreement or with the prior written
                                         consent of the Employer), copy, use, discuss with or disclose to any third party any
                                         Confidential Information. This provision will not apply to Confidential Information which
                                         becomes public other than through unauthorised disclosure by the Executive. The Executive
                                         will use best endeavours to prevent the unauthorised copying, use or disclosure of such
                                         information by any third party.



 


		7.2	In
                                         the course of the Employment the Executive is likely to obtain Confidential Information
                                         belonging or relating to other Group Companies or other persons. The Executive will treat
                                         such information as if it falls within the terms of Clause 7.1 and Clause 7.1 will apply
                                         with any necessary amendments to such information. If requested to do so by the Employer,
                                         the Executive will enter into an agreement with other Group Companies or any other persons
                                         in the same terms as Clause 7.1 with any amendments necessary to give effect to this
                                         provision.



 


		7.3	The
                                         Executive agrees not to, either during or after the termination of the Employment (without
                                         the written consent of the Employer) make any public announcement, statement or comment
                                         (whether to the media or otherwise) concerning:



 


		7.3.1	the
                                         affairs of the Employer or any other Group Company;



 


		7.3.2	the
                                         circumstances of the termination of the Employment and any offices (except he may disclose
                                         the reason for such termination to any prospective or future employer) with any other
                                         Group Company; or



 


		7.3.3	anything
                                         that may be detrimental to the Employer or any other Group Company, except as required
                                         by law or any regulatory body.



 


		7.4	Nothing
                                         in this Agreement will prevent the Executive from making a “protected disclosure”
                                         in accordance with the provisions of the Employment Rights Act 1996.







    	 



    	



    

		8	Intellectual
                                         Property Rights



 


		8.1	The
                                         Executive shall prepare, maintain and promptly disclose to the Employer immediately on
                                         creation full written details of all Works made, created or developed, wholly or partially,
                                         by the Executive at any time during the course of the Employment (whether or not during
                                         working hours or using Group premises or resources). The Executive acknowledges that
                                         all Intellectual Property Rights subsisting (or which may in the future subsist) in any
                                         Work shall automatically, on creation, vest in the Employer absolutely. To the extent
                                         that they do not vest automatically, the Executive hereby assigns (or where immediate
                                         assignment is not effective, agrees to assign) to the Employer, with full title guarantee,
                                         all the Executive’s Intellectual Property Rights in any Work. Pending assignment,
                                         the Executive shall hold the Intellectual Property Rights on trust for the Employer.
                                         The Executive agrees to promptly execute all documents and do all acts as may, in the
                                         opinion of the Employer, be necessary to give effect to this Clause 8.1.



 


		8.2	So
                                         far as permitted by applicable laws, the Executive hereby irrevocably waives all moral
                                         rights under Chapter IV (Moral Rights) of Part 1 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents
                                         Act 1988 (and all similar rights in other jurisdictions), which he may have or will have
                                         in any Work.



 


		8.3	The
                                         Executive hereby irrevocably appoints the Employer to act as the Executive’s attorney
                                         to do everything necessary to give the Employer the full benefit of the rights under
                                         this Clause 8.



 


		8.4	The
                                         rights and obligations of the parties under this Clause 8 shall continue after expiry
                                         or termination of this Agreement.



 


		9	Garden
                                         Leave and Suspension



 


Garden
Leave


 


		9.1	At
                                         any time after notice to terminate the Employment is given by either party, or if the
                                         Executive resigns without giving due notice and the Employer does not accept the Executive’s
                                         resignation, the Employer may require the Executive to take a period of absence called
                                         garden leave (the “Garden Leave Period”). The Garden Leave Period
                                         shall last for such period or periods of the notice period as the Employer shall in its
                                         absolute discretion determine. The provisions of Clause 9.2 to Clause 9.8 apply to any
                                         Garden Leave Period.



 


		9.2	During
                                         the Garden Leave Period the Executive will not, without prior written consent of their
                                         line manager, be employed or otherwise engaged in the conduct of any activity, whether
                                         or not of a business nature. The Employer will have no obligation to provide work to
                                         the Executive during the Garden Leave Period. Further, the Executive will not, unless
                                         requested by the Employer:



 


		9.2.1	enter
                                         or attend the premises of the Employer or any other Group Company; or



 


		9.2.2	contact
                                         or have any communication with any customer or client of the Employer or any other Group
                                         Company in relation to the business of the Employer or any other Group Company; or



 


		9.2.3	contact
                                         or have any communication with any employee, officer, director, agent or consultant of
                                         the Employer or any other Group Company in relation to the business of the Employer or
                                         any other Group Company; or




    	 



    	



    

		9.2.4	remain
                                         or become involved in any aspect of the business of the Employer or any other Group Company
                                         except as required by such companies.



 


		9.3	During
                                         the Garden Leave Period the Executive shall be available to deal with requests for information,
                                         be available for meetings (unless the Employer has agreed in writing that the Executive
                                         may be unavailable for a period) and to advise on matters relating to work.



 


		9.4	During
                                         the Garden Leave Period the Employer may require the Executive to comply with the provisions
                                         of Clause 12, except that there will be no requirement to return any company car in the
                                         possession of the Executive. The Employer may also require the Executive to resign immediately
                                         from any directorship held in the Employer, any other Group Company or any other company
                                         where such directorship is held as a consequence or requirement of the Employment, unless
                                         the Executive is required by the Employer to perform duties to which any such directorship
                                         relates in which case the Executive may retain such directorships while those duties
                                         are ongoing. The Executive hereby irrevocably appoints the Employer to be the Executive’s
                                         attorney to execute any instrument and do anything in the Executive’s name and
                                         on their behalf to effect the Executive’s resignation if the Executive fails to
                                         do so in accordance with this Clause 9.4



 


		9.5	During
                                         the Garden Leave Period, the Executive will be entitled to receive the salary and all
                                         contractual benefits in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. For the avoidance
                                         of doubt the Executive shall not be entitled to participate in any bonus or other such
                                         incentive scheme. Any unused holiday accrued at the commencement of the Garden Leave
                                         Period and any holiday accrued during any Garden Leave Period will be deemed to be taken
                                         by the Executive during the Garden Leave Period in relation to day(s) (not being a Saturday,
                                         Sunday, public or bank holiday) during which the Executive was not required to deal with
                                         information requests, attend a meeting or give advice.



 


		9.6	The
                                         Executive agrees and acknowledges that during any Garden Leave Period the Employer may
                                         appoint another person to carry out duties in substitution of the Executive.



 


		9.7	At
                                         the end of the Garden Leave Period, the Employer may, at its sole and absolute discretion,
                                         pay the Executive basic salary alone in lieu of the balance of any period of notice given
                                         by the Employer or the Executive (less any deductions the Employer is required by law
                                         to make).



 


		9.8	All
                                         duties of the Employment (whether express or implied), including, but not limited to,
                                         the Executive’s duties of fidelity, good faith and under Clauses 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3
                                         shall continue throughout the Garden Leave Period.



 


Suspension


 


		9.9	Without
                                         prejudice to the Executive’s rights to remuneration and other benefits hereunder,
                                         the Employer shall have the right at any time to require the Executive not to attend
                                         at any place of work or otherwise to suspend the Executive from the performance of any
                                         duties under this Agreement. During the period of such suspension the Employer may assign
                                         the Executive’s duties, titles or powers to another. Further, during such period
                                         of suspension the Employer shall be under no obligation to vest in or assign to the Executive
                                         any powers or duties or to provide any work to the Executive. For the avoidance of doubt,
                                         during any period of suspension the rights of the Employer and duties of the Executive
                                         set out in clauses 9.2 – 9.8 above shall apply (save that the Employer shall not
                                         require the Executive to resign from any directorships unless a complaint is made out
                                         against him and otherwise subject to any FSA or other regulatory requirements).

		11.4	If
                                         employment of the Executive under this Agreement is terminated by reason of the liquidation

Payment
in lieu of notice


 


		11.5	The
                                         Employer may, at any time in its absolute discretion elect to terminate the Employment
                                         and this Agreement by paying to the Executive, in lieu of the notice period referred
                                         to in Clause 1.3 or any part thereof, an amount equivalent to the basic salary for such
                                         period or part period. Such a payment shall be subject to such deductions for tax and
                                         national insurance as are required by law and to any other authorised deductions.



 


		11.6	For
                                         the avoidance of doubt:-



 


		(i)	If
                                         the Employer terminates the Executive’s employment other than in accordance with
                                         its rights under this Agreement any entitlement to damages for breach of contract will
                                         be assessed on normal common law principles (including the Executive’s obligation
                                         to mitigate any losses); and



 


		(ii)	The
                                         right of the Employer to make a payment in lieu of notice does not give rise to any right
                                         for the Executive to receive such a payment.



 


		11.7	The
                                         Employer will pay any sums due under Clause 11.5 in monthly instalments over the period
                                         until the date on which notice, if it had been served in accordance with Clause 1.3,
                                         would have expired (the “Relevant Period”). The Executive is obliged
                                         to seek alternative income over the Relevant Period and to disclose the gross amount
                                         of any such income to the Employer as evidenced by payslips and/or invoices in a timely
                                         manner. The Employer’s monthly instalment payments pursuant to this Clause 11.7
                                         shall then be reduced by the gross amount of such alternative income earned in respect
                                         of any part of the Relevant Period. Payments shall be subject to such deductions for
                                         tax and national insurance contributions as are required by law and to any other authorised
                                         deductions.

                                         Confidential Information and will not retain any copies of such documents or materials;
                                         and



 


		12.1.2	all
                                         other property belonging or relating to any Group Company, in good condition (allowing
                                         for fair wear and tear).




    	 



    	



    

		13	Directorships



 


		13.1	The
                                         Executive’s office in any Group Company is subject to the Articles of Association
                                         of the relevant company (as amended from time to time). If the provisions of this Agreement
                                         conflict with the provisions of the Articles of Association, the Articles of Association
                                         will prevail.



 


		13.2	The
                                         Executive must resign from any office held in any Group Company if asked at any time

                                         to act in the Executive’s name and on the Executive’s behalf to execute any
                                         document or do anything in the Executive’s name necessary to effect the Executive’s
                                         resignation in accordance with Clause 13.2. If there is any doubt as to whether such
                                         a document (or other thing) has been carried out within the authority conferred by this
                                         Clause 13.3, a certificate in writing (signed by any director or the secretary of the
                                         Employer) will be sufficient to prove that the act or thing falls within that authority.

                                         termination of any directorship or other office held by the Executive will not terminate
                                         the Executive’s employment or amount to a breach of terms of this Agreement by
                                         the Employer.



 


		13.5	During
                                         the Employment the Executive will not do anything which could cause the Executive to
                                         be disqualified from continuing to act as a director of any Group Company.



 


		13.6	The
                                         Executive must not resign office as a director of any Group Company without the agreement
