“Exchange Act”) (other than the Client or a person that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Client) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule
13d-3 of the Exchange Act) of securities of the Client representing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of the Client’s then outstanding securities entitled to vote in the election of the
directors of the Client (the “Voting Shares”); 
 b. the Client disposing of all or substantially all of its
assets; 
 c. 10% or more of the value of the assets of the Client, or the Voting Shares of the Client are about to be

the Executive. 


  

	6.	 EXPENSES 



The Company shall reimburse the Executive all reasonable travelling, hotel, entertainment and other out of pocket expenses properly incurred by him in or about
the performance of his duties under this Agreement subject to his compliance with the Company’s then current guidelines, if any, relating to expenses and to the production, if required, of receipts, vouchers or other supporting documents. 

 

	7.	 BONUS SCHEME 



The Executive will be entitled to participate in any contractual bonus scheme or schemes established from time to time by the Company for executives of
equivalent status to the Executive, subject always to the rules of those schemes. The Executive may from time to time receive a bonus payment up to an annual maximum of 60% of the Executive’s basic salary as set out in clause 5.1 above based on
achievement of objectives to be agreed between the Executive and the Company from time to time. The payment and amount of any payment (within the 60% of basic salary threshold) is at the Company’s absolute discretion. A payment at any
particular time will not create any entitlement to or expectation of any future payment or the amount of any future payment. Save in the case of any accrued bonus under any bonus scheme in which the Executive is participating, the Executive will not
be entitled to receive any such bonus payment if, at the date the bonus payment under the bonus scheme would ordinarily be made, he is not employed by the Company or if the Executive has served notice to terminate his employment without Good Reason
(as defined above).

Company of equivalent status to the Executive, subject to any applicable rules and conditions of the Insurance Schemes. To the extent that there is any disparity between the rules and conditions of the relevant Insurance Scheme and the terms of this
Agreement the relevant scheme rules and conditions shall take precedence. The Company shall not have any liability to pay any benefit to the Executive (or any family member) under any Insurance Scheme unless it receives payment of the benefit from
the insurer under the scheme and shall not be responsible for providing the Executive (or any family member) with any benefit under an Insurance Scheme in the event that the relevant insurer refuses for whatever reason to pay or provide or to
continue to pay or provide that benefit to the Executive (or family member). 
  

	 	9.2	 Any Insurance Scheme which is provided for the Executive is also subject to the Company’s right to alter
the cover provided or any term of that scheme or to cease to provide (without replacement) the scheme at any time if in the opinion of the Board (after the Executive has been examined by a medical practitioner nominated by the insurers or by the
Company) the state of health of the Executive is or becomes such that the Company is unable to insure the benefits under the scheme at the normal premiums applicable to a person of the Executive’s age. 



 

	 	9.3	 No contracting out certificate is in force in relation to this employment. 



 

	10.	 ILLNESS 


  

	 	10.1	 In the event of illness or other incapacity beyond his control as a result of which he is unable to perform his
duties the Executive shall remain entitled to receive his salary in full for any continuous period of 3 months or an aggregate period of 90 days’ absence in any consecutive twelve month period subject to: 



 

	 	(A)	 compliance with the Company’s procedures relating to sickness notification, statutory sick pay and
self-certification to cover absence from work due to sickness or other incapacity and to the provision of medical certificates and/or (at the Company’s discretion) undergoing a medical examination by a doctor appointed by the Company. The
Executive shall co-operate in ensuring the prompt delivery of such report to the Company and authorise his own medical practitioner to supply all such information as may be required by that doctor and, if so
requested by the Company, authorise his medical practitioner to disclose to the Company his opinion of the Executive’s state of health; 



  
 8 














	 	(B)	 a deduction (at the Company’s discretion) from his salary of an amount or amounts equal to any statutory
sick pay or social security benefits to which the Executive is entitled; and 


  

	 	(C)	 a deduction (at the Company’s discretion) from his salary of an amount or amounts equal to any payment
made to the Executive under any health insurance arrangements effected from time to time by the Company and/or any Group Company on his behalf. 


  

	11.	 HOLIDAYS 


  

	 	11.1	 The Executive shall be entitled to 25 working days’ holiday (in addition to the normal United Kingdom
public holidays) in each calendar year commencing on 1 January in each year (which shall accrue on a monthly basis). Holidays shall be taken at such times as are reasonable and convenient having regard to the requirements of the Company’s
business. 


  

	 	11.2	 If at the end of the calendar year the Executive has accrued holiday entitlement which he has not taken he
shall be entitled to carry forward an absolute maximum of up to 10 days into the following calendar year. 


  

	 	11.3	 The Company reserves the right, at its absolute discretion, to require the Executive to take any outstanding
holiday during any notice period. 


  

	 	11.4	 On termination of the Executive’s employment (howsoever occasioned), if the Executive has taken more or
less than his annual holiday entitlement an appropriate adjustment shall be made to any payment of salary or benefits from the Company to the Executive. In this event the calculation shall be made on the basis that each day of holiday is worth 1/260
of his basic salary as set out in clause 5.1. 


  

	12.	 OTHER BUSINESS INTERESTS 



 

	 	12.1	 The Executive shall not during the continuance of his employment (whether during or outside working hours)
without the prior consent in writing of the Board, be directly or indirectly engaged, concerned or interested in any business, profession or occupation other than the Company or any Group Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
provided that nothing in this clause 12 shall prohibit the Executive from being the holder of not more than three per cent. of any class of stock, shares or debentures or other securities in any company which is listed, dealt in and/or admitted for
trading on any stock exchange, recognised investment exchange or automated quotation system (‘Exchange’); or 


  

	 	12.2	 The Executive shall not during the continuance of his employment (except with the prior written consent of the
Board) introduce to any other person, firm or company business of any kind which could appropriately be dealt with by the Company or any Group Company, nor shall he have any financial interest in or derive any financial benefit from any contracts

as at the Termination Date. 
  

	 	16.3	 Any severance payment payable under clause 16.1 and 16.2 shall be in addition to any salary paid to the

termination; and

	 	18.2	 The Executive shall promptly disclose and deliver to the Company in confidence full details of each Invention
(whether or not it was made, devised or discovered during normal working hours or using the facilities of the Company, and whether or not the Executive considers that by virtue of section 39 Patents Act 1977 rights to such Invention fail to vest in

	 	21.6	 If any clause or provision in this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction or other competent
authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable then such clause or provision shall be severed from the remainder of the Agreement or clause and that remainder shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. In
that case, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to replace any invalid, unlawful or unenforceable clause or provision with a suitable substitute clause or provision which maintains as far as possible the purpose and effect of this Agreement.



  

	 	21.7	 This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed, shall be an
