with the business of Prudential or the Company or any company in the Company Group except as holder or beneficial owner, for the purpose only of a passive minority investment, of securities dealt in
or on any recognized stock exchange (not exceeding one per cent of the total number or value of such securities from time to time in issue).



	(10)
	The
Executive agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly, make use of, divulge or communicate to any Person any Confidential Information except:

	(iii)
	as
required in the appropriate performance of his duties hereunder during the Term.






	(11)

notice of termination of the Appointment with the Company howsoever arising and whether or not any dispute exists concerning the termination, the Executive shall forthwith upon
request of Prudential, resign from office as a director of Prudential and all other offices held by the Executive in any other companies in the Company Group at the direction of the Board. The
Executive will also forthwith resign any membership of any organisation to which he is appointed by virtue of his position in any company in the Company Group. Should he fail to do so, Prudential is
hereby irrevocably authorised to appoint some individual in the Executive's name and on the Executive's behalf to sign any documents and do anything necessary or requisite to give effect thereto and
the Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that any documents executed or things done by such individual in the Executive's name and on the Executive's behalf shall have the same validity, force and
effect as though executed or done directly by the Executive. Any such resignation shall not prejudice the Executive's rights under this Agreement.

directed by the Board or the Company) devote such of his time, attention and abilities to the business and interests of the Company and any other company in the Company Group as the proper performance
of his duties hereunder demands.



	(3)
	During
the Term, the Executive shall perform such duties and exercise such powers in relation to the conduct and management of the affairs of the Company and any company in the
Company Group as may from time to time reasonably be assigned or communicated to or vested in him consistent with the nature of the Appointment.



	(4)
	Where
notice of termination has been served by either the Company or the Executive whether in accordance with clause 2(3) or otherwise or a Non-Renewal Notice has
been served by either the Company or the Executive in accordance with clause 2(2), neither the Company nor any company in the Company Group shall be under any obligation to provide work for or

resign with immediate effect from any offices or positions he holds with the Company or any other company in the Company Group (and any related trusteeships or

the Company Group in form and substance satisfactory to the Company. 






	(5)
	The
Board may also suspend all or any of the Executive's duties and powers during any period in which the Company, Prudential and/or the Board, either alone or in conjunction with any
other Person, is carrying out an investigation into any alleged act or default of the Executive. Such a suspension shall be on such terms as the Board considers expedient (including a term that the
Executive shall not attend at the Company's premises and/or that the Executive shall refrain from business contact with any customers, clients or employees of the Company or any company in the Company
Group during such period of suspension) providing that:



	(i)
	the
Board on or before such suspension notifies the Executive in writing of the subject matter and grounds for initiating the investigation; and



	(ii)
	during
such period of suspension the Executive shall be entitled to the salary and benefits due under clauses 5(1) and 5(2) of this Agreement. 






The
provision of clauses 4(1) and 4(2) will continue to apply to any services rendered by the Executive during any period of suspension under clause 4(5) or to any Suspension Period under
clause 4(4). 



	(6)
	The
Executive shall at all times promptly give to the Company and the Board (in writing if so required) all such information and explanations concerning the affairs of any company in
the Company Group as the Company shall request and of which the Executive is or, after due inquiry could become, aware.



	(7)
	The
Executive shall comply with all instructions and directions from time to time laid down by the Company for senior executives.



	(8)
	During
the Term, the Executive shall perform his duties at such offices of the Company or at such other locations as the Company or any company in the Company Group, may from time to
time reasonably require.



	(9)
	During
the Term, the Executive shall allow the Company (and its authorized agents) supervised access on reasonable notice to all or any of the properties in which he resides from time
to time in order for the Company to assess, and, if the Company considers it desirable, to carry out at its own expense those security measures which the Company may consider advisable for the
protection of the Executive. Nothing herein shall require the Company to carry out any such security measures and the Company expressly disclaims any responsibility in respect of any act or failure to
act by the Company pursuant to this subclause (9). 



5.    REMUNERATION  


	(1)
	During
the Term, the Company will pay the Executive an annual salary as separately notified, to accrue from day to day and to be payable by equal monthly instalments in arrears to a
bank nominated by the Executive. The rate of salary shall be subject to periodic review but shall not be reduced without the prior written agreement of the Executive.



	(2)
	During
the Term, the Executive will also be eligible to participate in the employee benefit plans of the Company in which its senior executives participate in accordance with the
generally applicable terms and conditions of such plans as amended and in effect from time to time.



	(3)
	Participation
in any Company Group incentive arrangement or scheme is a matter entirely separate from the Executive's terms and conditions of employment and in particular if the
Executive's employment shall terminate for whatever reason whether lawfully or unlawfully he shall not be entitled to any compensation for any loss of any right or benefit or prospective right or
benefit under any arrangement or scheme which he might otherwise have enjoyed whether such compensation is claimed by way of damages for wrongful dismissal or breach of contract or by way of
compensation for loss of office or otherwise. 






6.    HOLIDAY  


	(1)
	The
Executive shall be entitled to such holiday with pay in each calendar year during the Term (in addition to statutory holidays) as the proper performance of his duties hereunder
permits and in accordance with the guidelines laid down by the Company from time to time for its senior executives. 



7.    CONFIDENTIALITY, NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION COVENANTS OF EXECUTIVE  


	(1)
	During
the Term and following any termination of the Term or of the Appointment, except:



	(i)
	with
the prior written consent of the Board or its authorised representative;



	(ii)
	to
the extent required by an order of a court having jurisdiction or under subpoena from an appropriate government agency, in which event, the Executive will use his
best efforts to consult with the Board prior to responding to any such order or subpoena; and



	(iii)
	as
required in the appropriate performance of his duties for the Company or any company in the Company Group during the Term, 






the
Executive will not use or disclose any Confidential Information to any third Person unless such Confidential Information has been previously disclosed to the public or is in the public domain
(other than by reason of the Executive's breach of this clause 7(1) or by reason of the breach by any other Person known by the Executive to be subject to a confidentiality obligation to any
company in the Company Group). 



	(2)
	During
the Restriction Period, the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, for his own account or for the account of any other Person, anywhere in the world, solicit for
employment, employ or otherwise interfere with the relationship of any member of the Company Group with any natural person throughout the world who is or was employed by or otherwise engaged to
perform services for any member of the Company Group at any time during the six-month period preceding such solicitation, employment or interference.



	(3)
	During
the Restriction Period, the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, for his own account or for the account of any other Person, anywhere in the world, solicit or otherwise
attempt to establish any business relationship of a nature that is competitive with the business or relationship of any member of the Company Group with any Person which is or was a customer, client,
agent, broker or other distributor of any member of the Company Group at any time during the twelve-month period preceding the expiration of the Term.



	(4)
	During
the Restriction Period, the Executive will not, without the prior consent of the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer of Prudential, which shall not be withheld
unreasonably, be engaged or interested in any capacity, directly or indirectly, in any business or with any individual company or other entity which is, in the reasonable opinion of the Chairman and
the Chief Executive Officer of Prudential, competitive with the business of Prudential or the Company or any company in the Company Group except as holder or beneficial owner, for the purpose only of
a passive minority investment, of securities dealt in or on any recognized stock exchange (not exceeding 5 per cent of the total number or value of such securities from time to time in issue). 





	(5)
	The
Executive acknowledges and agrees that the covenants, obligations and agreements of the Executive contained in this clause 7 relate to special, unique and extraordinary
matters and that a violation of any of the terms of such covenants, obligations or agreements will cause the Company and any other company in the Company Group irreparable injury for which adequate
remedies are not available at law. Therefore, the Executive agrees that the Company and any other company within the Company Group will be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or such other
equitable relief (without the requirement to post bond) as a court of competent jurisdiction may deem necessary or appropriate to restrain the Executive from committing any violation of such
covenants, obligations or agreements. These injunctive remedies are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies the Company and any other company within the Company Group may have. The
Company and any other company within the Company Group and the Executive hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Michigan and the Federal courts of the United States
of America, in each case located in Lansing, Michigan in respect of the injunctive remedies set forth in this clause 7(5) and the interpretation and enforcement of this clause 7 insofar
as such interpretation and enforcement relate to any request or application for injunctive relief in accordance with the provisions of this clause 7(5).



	(6)
	The
period during which the restrictions referred to in clauses 7(2), 7(3), 7(4) and 7(5) shall apply following the expiration of the Term shall be reduced by the length of any
Suspension Period imposed under the provisions of clause 4(4) in existence at the Termination Date or the expiry of the Term.



	(7)
	In
the event of (i) the suspension of the Executive's duties pursuant to clause 4(4) during any Suspension Period or (ii) the termination of the Term and the
Executive's employment pursuant to clause 2(2) following delivery by either party of a Non-Renewal Notice, the Company may waive, in whole or in part, enforcement of the
restrictions referred to in clause 3(9) and/or clause 7(4), as applicable, upon the delivery of prior written notice of such waiver to the Executive. Such waiver shall become effective
on the date (the "Waiver Effective Date") specified in the notice delivered by the Company under this clause 7(7). If the Company elects to waive application of the restrictions referred to in
clause 3(9) and/or 7(4) for any period pursuant to this clause 7(7), then notwithstanding the provisions of clauses 4(4) and 8(4), the Company's obligation to provide the Executive with
salary and benefits (i) pursuant to clause 4(4) during any portion of a Suspension Period after the Waiver Effective Date or (ii) pursuant to clause 8(4) during any portion
of the Restriction Period after the Waiver Effective Date, as applicable, will automatically terminate effective immediately upon the Waiver Effective Date. 



8.    TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT  


	(1)
	The
Appointment may be terminated by either party by notice given in accordance with clause 2.2. The Appointment shall automatically terminate upon the Executive's death or
following 30 days' prior notice to the Executive of the termination of the Appointment due to the Executive's Disability. The Term will expire on the date specified in any such notice (as the
same may be amended by mutual agreement) or upon the Executive's death, whichever is applicable.



	(2)
	Notwithstanding
the other provisions of this Agreement and without prejudice to the rights and remedies of the Company for any breach of this Agreement, and to the Executive's
continuing obligations under clause 3(12) and clauses 7 and 11, the Company shall at any time be entitled by notice in writing to the Executive to terminate the Appointment immediately,
whereupon the Term will immediately expire, in any of the following circumstances, namely:



	(a)
	if
he is or becomes bankrupt or has a receiving order made against him or compounds with his creditors or otherwise takes advantage of any statute for the time being in force offering
relief for insolvent debtors; or 











	(b)
	if
he engages in any behavior such as to bring any company in the Company Group into disrepute (including but without limitation the commission of a criminal offence (excluding
misdemeanour moving violations other than driving while intoxicated), he is guilty of any serious misconduct in connection with his duties for any company in the Company Group or he commits any
serious breach of any of his obligations to the Company or any other company in the Company Group (whether under this Agreement or otherwise); or



	(c)
	if
he refuses to comply with any lawful orders or directions reasonably given to him by the Company or any other Company within the Company Group or the Board or neglects so to comply
with material adverse consequences for the Company or any other company within the Company Group; or



	(d)
	if
he fails or refuses to perform substantially his duties for the Company or any other company within the Company Group under this Agreement or engages in wilful or reckless conduct
injurious to or damaging to the reputation of the Company or any other company within the Company Group; or



	(e)
	if
he is prevented from carrying out his duties by reason of a personal disqualification by an industry regulator, caused by reasons attributable to the Executive.






	(3)
	The
Executive shall have no claim against the Company or any other company in the Company Group for damages or otherwise by reason of any termination contemplated by this
clause 8. Any delay or forbearance by the Company in exercising any such right of termination shall not constitute a waiver of its rights in respect of any subsequent occurrence giving rise to
such a right.



	(4)
	If
the Appointment and the Term terminate pursuant to clause 2(2) following delivery by the Company of a Non-Renewal Notice, the Executive shall be entitled to the
continued payment of the salary and benefits provided to the Executive pursuant to clauses 5(1) and 5(2) at the time such Non-Renewal Notice is delivered to the Executive for the period
following expiration of the Term that ends on the first anniversary of the date that such Non-Renewal Notice is delivered to the Executive, provided the Executive executes and delivers to
the Company an effective general release of all claims against the Company Group in form and substance satisfactory to the Company.



	(5)
	If
at any time during the Term, the Appointment is terminated by reason of any reorganization of the Company Group or the businesses conducted thereby or by reason of the merger or
consolidation of the Company with any other entity and the Executive is offered a position with any concern or undertaking resulting from such reorganization, merger or consolidation upon terms and
conditions no less favorable than the terms of this Agreement and of similar status to the Executive's status under the Appointment then the Executive shall have no claim against the Company or any
company in the Company Group in respect of the termination of the Appointment or the change in his position.



	(6)
	The
Executive shall promptly deliver to the Company upon the last day of his active employment with the Company Group:



	(a)
	any
credit cards or any property provided by the Company or any other company within the Company Group; and



	(b)
	all
lists of clients or customers, correspondence, books, and all other documents, papers and records which may have been prepared by him or have come into his possession in the
course of his employment and the Executive shall not be entitled to and shall not retain any copies thereof, in any medium: title and copyright therein shall at all times remain in the Company. The
Company will on request make available copies of board minutes and supporting documents which the Executive reasonably requires in connection with any legal or regulatory proceedings in which he is or
may become involved. 












	(7)
	Notwithstanding
the provisions of clauses 4(4) and 8(4), (i) payments of the Executive's salary during any Suspension Period or period following the Executive's termination of
employment will be reduced, but not below zero, by the amount of any compensation earned by the Executive (whether paid currently or deferred) during any portion of such Suspension Period or
post-termination period from any subsequent employer or other Person for which the Executive performs services, including but not limited to consulting services and including any such
compensation earned in connection with the Executive's self-employment, and (ii) any benefits to be provided to the Executive during such Suspension Period or
post-termination period shall be reduced or canceled if and to the extent that comparable benefits are provided or offered to the Executive by any subsequent employer or Person for which
the Executive performs services, including but not limited to consulting services. 



9.    CHANGE OF CONTROL  


	(1)
	The
Executive is currently entitled to participate in the Brooke Holdings Inc. Change of Control Severance Plan ("the Severance Plan"). The Change of Control Plan shall
continue to apply to the Executive except that:



	(a)
	with
effect from the Commencement Date the provisions of the Severance Plan relating to a change of control of Prudential shall no longer apply to the Executive;



	(b)
	the
Severance Plan shall only apply to the Executive for the period of three years following the Commencement Date, following which the Severance Plan shall cease to apply to the
Executive. For the avoidance of doubt if a Change of Control as defined in the Severance Plan occurs on a date which is on or after 9 November 2004 the Executive shall have no entitlement under
the Severance Plan.






	(2)

as expressly set out in 9(1) above, the Executive's entitlement under the Severance Plan shall remain unaffected by this Agreement. 




10.  GRATUITIES

Company may assign its interest in this Agreement to any other company within the Company Group with the agreement of the Executive such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld.

Executive shall comply with all instructions and directions from time to time laid down by the Company and/or the Board for senior executives including those rules relating to
dealing in the shares of Prudential Group. The Executive shall also comply with the requirements laid down by all external regulatory bodies.



	(7)
	The
Executive shall allow the Company supervised access on reasonable notice to all or any of the properties in which he resides from time to time in order for the Company to assess,
and, if the Company considers it desirable, to carry out at its own expense those security measures which the Company may consider advisable for the protection of the Executive. 



4.    PERFORMANCE OF DUTIES  


	(1)
	During
the continuance of the Appointment, the Executive shall (unless prevented by ill-health or accident or otherwise directed by the Board) devote such of his time,
attention and abilities to the business and interests of the Company or any other company in the Prudential Group as the proper performance of his duties hereunder demands.



	(2)
	The
Executive shall not (unless otherwise agreed by the Company and/or the Board) undertake any other business or profession, or be, or become directly or indirectly concerned, or
interested in any other business or profession except as holder or beneficial owner, for the purpose only of a passive minority investment, of securities dealt in or on any recognized stock exchange
(not exceeding 5 per cent of the total number or value of such securities from time to time in issue).



	(3)
	The
Executive shall perform his duties at such offices of the Company in London or at such other locations as may be agreed from time to time or as the Company or the Board may from
time to time reasonably require. 



5.    REMUNERATION  


	(1)
	During
the Appointment the Company will pay the Executive an annual salary as separately notified, to accrue from day to day and to be payable by equal monthly instalments in arrears
to a bank nominated by the Executive. The rate of salary shall be subject to periodic review but shall not be reduced without the prior written agreement of the Executive. 





	(2)
	The
Executive shall:



	(a)
	continue
to be eligible for membership of the M&G Group Pension Scheme details of which have been supplied to the Executive, subject to the trust deed and rules from time to time
governing the scheme. Final Pensionable Earnings ("FPE") is limited ("capped") by legislation and consequently so are the benefits the Scheme can provide. The Earnings Cap is adjusted from time to
time (as described in Section 590C of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988);



	(b)
	be
paid a salary supplement of a percentage of base salary, less an offset of 15% of salary up to the Earnings Cap.

	40–44	 	26%
	45–49	 	30%
	50–54	 	34%
	55–60	 	38%






The
Executive will also be eligible for participation in a Funded Unapproved Retirement Scheme "FURBS", to which this salary supplement would be applied. The contribution to a FURBS is a taxable
benefit. In any event the Executive will be required to provide evidence to the Company that this supplement is used for retirement benefits. The Company will also meet the cost of life cover broadly
equivalent to the total value of death in service benefits under PSPS related to the Executive's salary in excess of the cap; this is also a taxable benefit. 



	(3)
	Subject
to production, if requested, of medical certificates satisfactory to the Company, full remuneration will continue to be payable notwithstanding the Executive's incapacity for
work due to sickness or accident (unless and until the Appointment shall be determined under any terms hereof) for the first six months of such incapacity. During this period of incapacity, the
Company shall only give notice terminating the Appointment on grounds of redundancy, falling within section 139 of The Employment Rights Act 1996 or those circumstances as set out in
clause 9(2). Thereafter the Company may at its discretion discontinue the payment of remuneration under this Agreement in which event the rules of the Prudential Staff Long Term Incapacity
Scheme as from time to time in force, will apply to the Executive.



	(4)
	If
the Executive is incapable of performing his duties by reason of injury sustained wholly or partly as a result of negligence, nuisance or breach of any statutory duty on the part
of any third party all payments made to the Executive by the Company shall (insofar as lawful) be by way of interest free loan repayable to the Company only when and to the extent that compensation is
recovered for loss of earnings from that third party by legal action or otherwise in so far as it is not repayable to the Department of Social Security.



	(5)
	The
Executive, his wife and his unmarried children below the age of 18 (or 21 if in full time education) will be eligible free of charge to participate with effect from the
Commencement Date until termination of the Executive's employment in the M&G Premier Cover medical insurance scheme currently established with British United Provident Association.



	(6)
	The
Executive is eligible to participate in appropriate remuneration plans available from time to time (subject to the rules governing those plans) which currently include:



	(a)
	Annual
Bonus Plan;



	(b)
	Restricted
Share Plan;



	(c)
	the
Prudential Savings Related Share Option Scheme; 






details
of which have been supplied to the Executive. 






	(7)
	While
the Executive is employed as Chief Executive M&G, at the discretion of the Company he will be eligible for invitation to participate in the M&G Chief Executive Long Term
Incentive Plan. 



Participation
is subject to the rules of the Plan, as set and amended from time to time at the discretion of the Company. 



	(8)
	Participation
in the Restricted Share Plan, the M&G Chief Executive Long Term Incentive Plan, Annual Bonus Plan and any other annual or long term incentive arrangement, and the
Savings Related Share Option Scheme is a matter entirely separate from the Executive's terms and conditions of employment; the Company has no contractual obligation to invite the Executive's
participation in any plan cycle; and in particular if the Executive's employment shall terminate for whatever reason he shall not be entitled to any compensation for any loss of any right or benefit
or prospective right or benefit under any scheme which he might otherwise have enjoyed whether such compensation is claimed by way of damages for wrongful dismissal or other breach of contract or by
way of compensation for loss of office or otherwise other than such benefits as he would be entitled to within the Rules of the plan.



	(9)
	The
Executive shall be entitled to an interest free season ticket loan. 



6.    EXPENSES/MOTOR CAR  


	(1)
	The
Company, on production of the relevant receipts and/or invoices, shall reimburse the Executive for all travelling, hotel, entertainment and other
out-of-pocket expenses properly incurred by him from time to time in the execution of his duties hereunder in accordance with the relevant rules of the Company for the time
being in force.

Executive acknowledges and agrees that:



	(a)
	the

any such restriction is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable as going beyond what is reasonable in the circumstances for the protection of the
interests of the Prudential Group but would be valid if part of the wording was deleted and/or the period thereof was reduced and/or the territory concerned was reduced the restriction shall apply
within the jurisdiction of that court with such modifications as may be necessary to make it valid and effective. 






9.    TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

	The
Appointment may be terminated by either party by notice given in accordance with Clause 2.



	(2)

the other provisions of this Agreement and without prejudice to the rights and remedies of the Company for any breach of this Agreement, and to the Executive's
continuing obligations under Clauses 8 and 11, the Company shall at any time be entitled by notice in writing to the Executive to terminate the Appointment immediately in any of the following
circumstances, namely:

	if
he is guilty of serious misconduct or behavior such as to bring any company in the Prudential Group into disrepute (including but without limitation the commission of a criminal
offence excluding traffic offences) or commits any serious breach of any of his obligations to the Company or any other company in the Prudential Group (whether under this Agreement or otherwise) and
such misconduct behavior or breach justifies summary dismissal; or

Prudential Group; or



	(d)

termination shall not constitute a waiver of its rights in respect of any subsequent occurrence giving rise to such a right.

	Without
prejudice to the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 1981, if at any time during this Agreement the Executive's employment is terminated by reason
of reconstruction or amalgamation of the Company and the Executive is offered employment with any concern or undertaking resulting from such reconstruction or amalgamation upon terms and conditions no

prospective right or benefit under any scheme which he might otherwise have enjoyed whether such compensation is claimed by way of damages for wrongful dismissal or other breach of contract or by way
of compensation for loss of office or otherwise.

force with respect to the use of the motor car.

obtaining professional tax advice from an organisation acceptable to the Company. 



8.    HOLIDAY  


The
Executive shall be entitled to such holiday with pay in each calendar year (in addition to statutory holidays) as the proper performance of his duties hereunder permits and in accordance with the
guidelines laid down by the Company from time to time.

reimburse one return first class flight for the Executive between Hong Kong and the UK.

The

termination of the Appointment.






	(2)
	For
the purpose of sub-clause 11(1)(b) and 11(1)(c) hereof, if the Company terminates the Appointment upon written notice (whether or not in accordance with

	(3)
	The
Executive acknowledges and agrees that:



	(a)
	each
of sub-clauses 11(1)(a) (b) and (c) hereof constitute an entirely separate and independent restriction on
him;

	the
duration extent and application of each of the restrictions are no greater than is necessary for the reasonable protection of the proper interests of the Prudential Group; and



	(c)
	if
any such restriction is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable as going beyond what is reasonable in the circumstances for the protection of the
interests of the Prudential Group but would be valid if part of the wording was deleted and/or the period thereof was reduced and/or the territory concerned was reduced the restriction shall apply
within the jurisdiction of that court with such modifications as may be necessary to make it valid and effective.

continuing obligations under Clauses 11 and 14, the Company shall at any time be entitled by notice in writing to the Executive to terminate the Appointment immediately in any of the following

offence (excluding road traffic offences)) or commits any serious breach of any of his obligations to the Company or any other company in the Prudential Group (whether under this Agreement or
otherwise) and such misconduct behavior or breach justifies summary dismissal; or

Prudential Group; or



	(d)

the reputation of the Company or any other company within the Prudential Group; or

	if
he is prevented from carrying out his duties by reason of a personal disqualification by an industry regulator, caused by reasons attributable to the Executive.






	(3)
	The
Executive shall have no claim against the Company for damages or otherwise by reason of such termination. Any delay or forbearance by the Company in exercising any such right of
termination shall not constitute a waiver of its rights in respect of any subsequent occurrence giving rise to such a right.

prejudice to the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 1981, if at any time during this Agreement the Executive's employment is terminated by reason

	(7)
	The
Executive shall allow the Company supervised access on reasonable notice to all or any of the properties in which he resides from time to time in order for the Company to assess,
and, if the Company considers it desirable, to carry out at its own expense those security measures which the Company may consider advisable for the protection of the Executive. 



4.    PERFORMANCE OF DUTIES  


	(1)
	During
the continuance of the Appointment, the Executive shall (unless prevented by ill-health or accident or otherwise directed by the Board) devote such of his time,
attention and abilities to the business and interests of the Company or any other company in the Prudential Group as the proper performance of his duties hereunder demands.



	(2)
	The
Executive shall not (unless otherwise agreed by the Company and/or the Board) undertake any other business or profession, or be, or become directly or indirectly concerned, or
interested in any other business or profession except as holder or beneficial owner, for the purpose only of a passive minority investment, of securities dealt in or on any recognized stock exchange
(not exceeding 5 per cent of the total number or value of such securities from time to time in issue).



	(3)
	The
Executive shall perform his duties at such offices of the Company in London or any such place in the UK as the Company shall from time to time reasonably require the Executive to
work. The Executive shall also be expected to make such visits both in the UK and overseas as necessary for the proper discharge of the Executive's duties. 



5.    REMUNERATION  


	(1)
	During
the Appointment the Company will pay the Executive an annual salary as separately notified, to accrue from day to day and to be payable by equal monthly instalments in arrears
to a bank nominated by the Executive. The rate of salary shall be subject to periodic review but shall not be reduced without the prior written agreement of the Executive. 





	(2)
	The
Executive shall be eligible to be admitted to membership of the Prudential Staff Pension Scheme details of which have been supplied to the Executive, subject to the trust deed and
rules from time to time governing the scheme. Final Pensionable Earnings ("FPE") is limited ("capped") by legislation and consequently so are the benefits the Scheme can provide. The cap is adjusted
from time to time (as described in Section 590C of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988). The Executive may join the scheme and receive retirement and death benefits in relation to the
salary cap.



	(3)
	In
addition, the Executive will be paid a salary supplement of a percentage of base salary, less an offset of 15% of salary up to the Earnings Cap. 





The
contribution is on an age related scale: 



	Age
	 	Percentage

	35–39	 	23%
	40–44	 	26%
	45–49	 	30%
	50–54	 	34%
	55–60	 	38%






The
Executive will also be eligible for participation in a Funded Unapproved Retirement Scheme "FURBS", to which this salary supplement would be applied. The contribution to a FURBS is a taxable
benefit. In any event the Executive will be required to provide evidence to the Company that this supplement is used for retirement benefits. The Company will also meet the cost of cover broadly
equivalent to the total value of death in service benefits under PSPS related to the Executive's salary in excess of the cap; this is also a taxable benefit. 



	(4)
	Subject
to production, if requested, of medical certificates satisfactory to the Company, full remuneration will continue to be payable notwithstanding the Executive's incapacity for
work due to sickness or accident (unless and until the Appointment shall be determined under any terms hereof) for the first six months of such incapacity. During this period of incapacity, the
Company shall only give notice terminating the Appointment on grounds of redundancy, falling within section 139 of The Employment Rights Act 1996 or those circumstances as set out in
clause 9(2). Thereafter the Company may at its discretion discontinue the payment of remuneration under this Agreement in which event the rules of the Prudential Staff Long Term Incapacity
Scheme as from time to time in force, will apply to the Executive.



	(5)
	If
the Executive is incapable of performing his duties by reason of injury sustained wholly or partly as a result of negligence, nuisance or breach of any statutory duty on the part
of any third party all payments made to the Executive by the Company shall (insofar as lawful) be by way of interest free loan repayable to the Company only when and to the extent that compensation is
recovered for loss of earnings from that third party by legal action or otherwise in so far as it is not repayable to the Department of Social Security.



	(6)
	The
Executive, his wife and his unmarried children below the age of 18 (or 21 if in full time education) will be eligible free of charge to participate with effect from the
Commencement Date until termination of employment in the Prudential Group medical insurance scheme currently established with British United Provident Association.



	(7)
	The
Executive is eligible to participate in the remuneration plans available from time to time to senior executives of the Prudential Group (subject to the rules governing the
availability of those benefits generally) which currently include:



	(a)
	the
Prudential Annual Incentive Plan ("AIP");



	(b)
	any
other annual or long term incentive arrangements generally established for senior executives from time to time; and 











	(c)
	the
Prudential Savings Related Share Option Scheme, details of which have been supplied to the Executive.






	(8)
	In
addition to those plans referred to in clause 5(6) above, whilst the Executive is employed as the Chief Executive UK and Europe at the discretion of the Company he will, in
respect of the calendar year 2001, be eligible to participate in the Chief Executive UK and Europe Long Term Incentive Plan ("the Chief Executive UK and Europe LTIP"). In respect of the calendar year
2002 and thereafter, the benefits under the UK and Europe LTIP may form part of the long term incentive arrangements referred to in clause 5(6)(b) above.



	(9)
	Participation
in the AIP, UK and the Chief Executive UK and Europe LTIP, any other annual or long term incentive arrangement and Savings Related Share Option Scheme is a matter
entirely separate from the Executive's terms and conditions of employment; the Company has no contractual obligation to invite the Executive's participation in any plan cycle; and in particular if the
Executive's employment shall terminate for whatever reason he shall not be entitled to any compensation for any loss of any right or benefit or prospective right or benefit under any scheme which he
might otherwise have enjoyed whether such compensation is claimed by way of damages for wrongful dismissal or other breach of contract or by way of compensation for loss of office or otherwise other
than such benefits as he would be entitled to within the Rules of the plan.



	(10)
	The
Executive shall be entitled to an interest free season ticket loan. 



6.    EXPENSES/MOTOR CAR  


	(1)
	The
Company, on production of the relevant receipts and/or invoices, shall reimburse the Executive for all travelling, hotel, entertainment and other

being in force.



	(2)
	The
Executive will also receive an annual amount in lieu of a car, at the rate applicable from time to time for Directors. This amount will be paid in monthly instalments (less such
deductions as the Company is required by law to make) at the same time as the Executive's salary, but will not form part of his salary for pensions or other salary related benefits. 




7.    HOLIDAY  


The
Executive shall be entitled to such holiday with pay in each calendar year (in addition to statutory holidays) as the proper performance of his duties hereunder permits and in accordance with the
guidelines laid down by the Company from time to time. 


8.    NON-SOLICITATION  


	(1)
	The
Executive undertakes that during the Appointment and (subject to clause 8(2)) for a period of 12 months following the termination of the Appointment (the "Exclusion
Period") he shall not whether on his own account or otherwise and whether directly or indirectly:



	(a)
	solicit,

manager of the Company or any other company within the Prudential Group; or



	(b)
	solicit,
interfere with or endeavour to or actually entice away from the Company or any company within the Prudential Group business orders, or custom for products or services similar

twelve months before the termination of the Appointment; or 











	(c)
	engage
in the United Kingdom (whether as principal employee agent consultant or otherwise) in any trade or business which competes with any trade or business being carried on by the
Company or any other company within the Prudential Group at the date of termination of the Appointment and with which the Executive was actively concerned in the twelve months before the termination
of the Appointment.






	(2)
	The
period during which the restrictions referred to in clause 8 shall apply following the termination of the Appointment shall be reduced by the period of notice actually
served. The amount of time during which, if at all, the Company suspends the Employee under the provision of clause 3(3), shall also reduce the period during which the restrictions referred to
in clause 8 shall apply.



	(3)
	The
Executive acknowledges and agrees that:



	(a)
	each
of sub-clauses 8(1)(a) (b) and (c) hereof constitute an entirely separate and independent restriction on
him;



	(b)
	the
duration extent and application of each of the restrictions are no greater than is necessary for the reasonable protection of the proper interests of the Prudential Group; and



	(c)
	if
any such restriction is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable as going beyond what is reasonable in the circumstances for the protection of the
interests of the Prudential Group but would be valid if part of the wording was deleted and/or the period thereof was reduced and/or the territory concerned was reduced the restriction shall apply
within the jurisdiction of that court with such modifications as may be necessary to make it valid and effective. 






9.    TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT  


	(1)
	The
Appointment may be terminated by either party by notice given in accordance with Clause 2.



	(2)
	Notwithstanding
the other provisions of this Agreement and without prejudice to the rights and remedies of the Company for any breach of this Agreement, and to the Executive's
continuing obligations under Clauses 8 and 11, the Company shall at any time be entitled by notice in writing to the Executive to terminate the Appointment immediately in any of the following

	(3)
	The
Executive shall have no claim against the Company for damages or otherwise by reason of such termination. Any delay or forbearance by the Company in exercising any such right of
termination shall not constitute a waiver of its rights in respect of any subsequent occurrence giving rise to such a right.

prejudice to the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 1981, if at any time during this Agreement the Executive's employment is terminated by reason
