	15.	 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED] 



 

	16.	 TERMINATION 


  

	 	16.1	 If the Executive resigns for Good Reason, or the Company terminates Executive’s employment for any reason
whatsoever other than for Cause (as defined below in clause 17.1): 


  

	 	(A)	 the Executive will (subject to clause 16.3), be entitled to receive within 7 days of the Termination Date a net
severance payment (the “Severance Payment”) of an amount equal to: 


 (i) his latest Basic Net Annual
Salary; and 
 (ii) the “Performance Bonus” (as defined in the applicable Bonus Scheme Agreement); and 

(iii) any “Additional Bonus” (as defined in the applicable Bonus Scheme Agreement) that the Executive had been awarded for the year
preceding the termination of the Executive’s employment under this clause 16.1, prorated daily on the basis of the days for which the Executive was employed during the year of his termination; and     

(iv) the cost to the Company of the provision of contractual benefits to the Executive for 12 months following the Termination Date. 

To the extent that the above amounts exceed and cover the statutory severance payment provided by Greek labour law (pursuant to Law 2112/1920
in conjunction with Law 3198/1955), it is clarified that the Executive shall not be entitled to receive such statutory severance payment. In any event, it is expressly agreed and accepted by the Executive that any statutory severance entitlement
under Greek labour law shall be set-off against the Severance Payment agreed in this clause 16.1. 

  
 12 














	 	(B)	 In addition, the Company shall use reasonable endeavors to procure that (i) the Executive receives the
full benefit of any awards under the Stock Incentive Plan and/or any Cash Award Agreement (including, without limitation, any acceleration of vesting or extension of the post-termination exercise term of the Executive’s awards as provided for
in the applicable award agreement) and (ii) he is treated as being a “Good Leaver” (as defined in the relevant scheme(s) and subject always to the rules and provisions of such scheme(s)) for the purposes of any other applicable bonus
or incentive scheme (besides the Stock Incentive Plan) which is operated by the Company, the Listed Company or any other Group Company from time to time and in which the Executive is participating as at the Termination Date. 



 

	 	16.2	 For the avoidance of doubt, any Severance Payment payable under clause 16.1 shall be in addition to any
payments, rights or benefits accrued in respect of services already provided, including, without limitation, (a) any Basic Net Annual Salary paid, and provision of contractual benefits, to the Executive up to the Termination Date,
including any Basic Net Annual Salary paid, and provision of contractual benefits, to the Executive during any part of his contractual notice period which he is required to work or during which he is placed on garden leave; and (b) the
payment of a pro-rated portion of the Executive’s “Performance Bonus” (as defined in the applicable Bonus Scheme Agreement) on the basis of the days of the calendar year during which the
Executive was employed up to the Termination Date; and (c) any other unpaid bonus in accordance with the terms of the Bonus Scheme Agreement or otherwise; and (d) any payment in lieu of notice made to the Executive pursuant
to clause 3.3. If the Company is required to deduct or withhold Employment Taxes with respect to amounts paid under clauses 16.1 and 16.2, then the Company shall pay to the Executive, in addition to the Severance Payment and the amounts under this
clause 16.2, such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Executive (after the deduction or withholding of Employment Taxes) equals the Severance Payment and the amounts in this clause 16.2.



  

	 	16.3	 The Company’s obligations under clause 16.1 are subject to and conditional on: 



 

	 	(A)	 the Executive entering into, and complying with the terms of, a settlement agreement with the Company in a form
reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Executive pursuant to which the Executive will waive all claims that he may have against the Company, the Listed Company or any other Group Company arising from his employment or its termination and any
directorships or other offices and their termination; and 


  

	 	(B)	 the Executive’s compliance with his material obligations under this Agreement (including, but not limited
to, his obligations under clause 13). In the event that the Executive commits any breach of such material obligations, the Company shall be released from its obligations under clause 16.1, and in the event that the Executive commits any such breach
following receipt of any payment pursuant to clause 16.1, or the Company becomes aware of any such breach following the Executive having received a payment under clause 16.1, an amount equal to the payment made under clause 16.1 shall be immediately
repayable by the Executive to the Company as a debt. 



  
 13 














	 	16.4	 In the event of a dispute between the Parties as to whether there was Cause to terminate Executive’s
employment or there was Good Reason for Executive to resign, the full amount of termination payments under clause 16.1 shall be placed into escrow until such time that there is a judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that Cause or Good
Reason existed, or the Parties otherwise agree in writing that the amount may be released. 


  

	 	16.5	 In the event of death of the Executive, the Company’s obligations hereunder shall automatically cease and
terminate; provided, however, that within fifteen (15) days the Company shall pay to the Executive’s heirs or personal representatives the Executive’s basic salary and any unpaid bonuses (in accordance with the terms of the applicable
Bonus Scheme Agreement) accrued to the date of death including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Severance Payment and any other amounts payable to the Executive under this Agreement as if the Executive had resigned for Good Reason; until the final
determination of the identity of the heirs, the Company shall have the right to deposit any such amount with a third party escrow agent appointed by the Company or with the Greek Deposits and Loans Fund.

	 	18.3	 The Executive hereby assigns (in so far as title has not automatically vested in the Company through the

throughout the world in respect of all works, designs or materials (including, without limitation, source code and object code for software) originated, conceived, written or made by the Executive during the period of his employment (except only

his grievance before the Board or the board of directors of the parent company of any group of which the Company or the Listed Company is a member from time to time (in this clause 19, “Ultimate Board”) in writing, who will afford the

	 	19.2	 The Company’s and the Listed Company’s usual disciplinary procedures do not apply to the Executive.

Listed Company is a member from time to time as the Board or the Ultimate Board may in its reasonable discretion nominate. If the Executive seeks to appeal against any disciplinary action taken against him he should do so to the Ultimate Board
submitting full written grounds for his appeal to the Chairman of the Ultimate Board within 7 days of the action appealed against. The decision of the Ultimate Board or a delegated committee thereof shall be final and binding. For the avoidance of
doubt, the Executive has no contractual right to either a disciplinary hearing or appeal.

conditions of the employment of the Executive hereunder shall not be applicable. 


  

	 	20.4	 For the avoidance of doubt any payments made to or other benefits provided to the Executive or his family which

occurring after the date of this Agreement which may adversely affect any amount payable to the Executive by the Company under this Agreement, shall be for the Company’s account in its capacity as employer which shall be obliged to gross up any
such amount payable to the Executive accordingly so that the net amount received by the Executive from time to time remains the same.
