thereafter, the Term shall automatically renew for an additional twelve-month period on each anniversary thereof (any such date, a "Renewal Date"). This Agreement shall remain in effect and the Term
shall continue to be extended as provided for in the immediately preceding sentence unless earlier terminated (a) pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement, (b) by the board of
directors of the Company (the "Board") if it reasonably determines, in its sole discretion that one or both of the Transactions shall not occur, and provides written notice to Executive as soon as
practicable after the Board makes such determination or (c) upon 52 weeks written notice by either party hereto prior to any Renewal Date that it does not intend to extend the Term for an
additional twelve-month period following the applicable Renewal Date.

3.Employment.

(a)Position.Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company agrees to continue to employ
Executive during the Term (as defined in Section 3 of this Agreement) as its Senior Vice President, International (the "SVPI"), or in an appropriate role of no less seniority. Executive

---

shall report directly to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the "CEO"), or to an appropriate senior Executive of no less seniority.

(b)Duties and Responsibilities.Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement during the Term Executive
agrees to remain employed as the SVPI of the Company, and agrees to devote his full working time and efforts to the performance of services, duties and responsibilities in connection therewith.
Executive shall perform such duties and exercise such powers, commensurate with his position as the SVPI of the Company, as the CEO shall from time to time delegate to him on such terms and conditions
and subject to such restrictions as the CEO may reasonably from time to time impose.

(c)Location of Workplace.The Executive will perform his services at such location in Denham, Buckinghamshire,
England where the Executive principally performs his duties at the time of the Effective Date, with the understanding that he may be required to transfer to another location in England after receipt

4.Compensation.

(a)Salary.During the Term, the Company shall pay Executive a base salary ("Base Salary") of not less than the
rate in effect at the time of the Effective Date. The Base Salary shall be payable monthly in arrears by direct electronic payment at the rate of 1/12th of the Base Salary. Payment will
be made no later than the last working date of each month. Executive shall maintain a personal bank account or suitable Building Society account and provide the Company with the necessary details to
enable direct electronic payment to be made. The Base Salary shall be reviewed on 1 January of each calendar year;provided, however, that with respect to
calendar year 2003, Executive acknowledges and agrees that (i) his Base Salary as of January 1, 2003 shall
be the same as the rate in effect on December 31, 2002 and (ii) the Company shall postpone the review of Executive's Base Salary (and the review of the base salaries of all other
executives of the Company) until on or about July 1, 2003, at which time, in the event the Company determines that Executive's Base Salary (and the base salaries of any other executives of the
Company) should be increased, with such increase to become effective only prospectively through the end of calendar year 2003 (and shall not apply retroactively to any period commencing prior to such
effective date).

(b)Annual Bonus.During the Term, in addition to his Base Salary, Executive shall be eligible to participate in
the cash incentive component of the Executive Incentive Plan of the Company (and/or any other annual incentive plan or program maintained by the Company) (the "Bonus Plan"). Such participation shall
be on terms commensurate with Executive's position and level of responsibility and shall be calculated in accordance with the parameters set forth in the Bonus Plan, which shall be communicated to
Executive separately from this Agreement and agreed upon by and between Executive and CEO. Executive's full year annual target bonus for each fiscal year will be established in accordance with the
terms of the Bonus Plan, but the maximum potential annual target bonus that Executive may be entitled to receive is 200% of the Base Salary, based on business performance, consistent with "Bonus"
provision of the Prior Employment Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "annual target bonus" shall mean that percentage of Executive's Base Salary (currently established at 50%) which
Executive is eligible to earn as an annual bonus amount upon the achievement of certain performance targets established pursuant to the terms of the Bonus Plan for each fiscal year.

(c)Retention Bonus.As an inducement for Executive to continue to be employed by the Company from the Effective
Date through the Closing Date and thereafter, Executive shall be entitled to receive the Retention Bonus (as defined below), in a lump sum payment, in cash, upon the earlier to occur of (i) the
first anniversary of the Closing Date, so long as Executive remains employed on such date and (ii) after the Closing Date but prior to the first anniversary thereof, the termination of
Executive's employment for any reason, other than a termination for Cause by the Company or by Executive without Good Reason (as such terms are hereinafter defined). For purposes of this Agreement,
the "Retention Bonus" is equal to two times the sum of: (x) the greater of (I) Executive's Base Salary in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date or (II) Executive's Base
Salary in effect at the time a notice of termination is given; and (y) Executive's annual target bonus for the year in which the Closing Date occurs or, if no such target bonus has yet been
determined for such year, Executive's annual target bonus actually earned by Executive in the year immediately preceding the year in which the Closing Date occurs. The Retention Bonus (amounting to 2
* (x + y)) shall be calculated in British pounds sterling.

purposes of this Agreement:
