22.6    This clause applies if you subscribe for or are awarded shares in the Company or any Group Company or participate in any share option, restricted share, restricted share unit, long term incentive or any other form of profit sharing, incentive, bonus or equity plan or arrangement (each, an “Incentive”) or may do so.  Upon termination of your employment (whether lawful or unlawful), your rights (if any) in respect of each Incentive shall be solely determined by the applicable rules or other documents governing each Incentive and you hereby irrevocably waive any other claims or rights in respect of the loss of any rights or benefits under or in respect of any Incentive granted or not yet granted to you (including any loss relating to the lapse of, or your ineligibility to exercise, any share options, the value of any shares, the operation of any compulsory transfer provisions or the operation of any vesting criteria).    
23    Garden leave
23.1     At any time you agree:
23.1.1    that for the period of notice in clause 22.1.1 or any part thereof the Board may in its absolute discretion:
23.1.1.1    require you to perform only such duties as it may allocate to you (whether or not commensurate with those previously undertaken by you) or not to perform any of your duties;

24    Payment in lieu of notice
24.1    The Company may at its sole discretion terminate this agreement (or, where notice has been served by you, bring the period of notice to an end) immediately by serving notice in writing on you and in such circumstances: (i) your employment shall terminate with effect from the date of service of such notice on you; and (ii) the Company shall pay you your basic salary only, in lieu of the notice period or any unexpired part of it.  For the avoidance of doubt, any such payment shall be in respect of the applicable period of notice set forth in clause 21.1 above. Payment will be made subject to such deductions as are required by law, including for tax and national insurance.  The Company’s right to make a payment in lieu of notice in accordance with this clause 24.1 does not give you any right to demand such a payment.

25.2    The obligations set out in clause 25.1 shall not be affected by the fact that any document or device may include your personal data.

25.3    You shall, on request, co-operate and provide assistance to the Company or any Group Company in any internal investigation, administrative, regulatory, quasi-judicial proceedings or any threatened or actual litigation concerning it or them where you have in your possession or knowledge any facts or other matters which the Company or any Group Company reasonably considers is relevant to such process or legal proceedings (including, but not limited to, giving statements/affidavits, meeting with their legal and other professional advisers, attending any legal hearing and giving evidence) on the understanding that the Company or relevant Group Company will pay your reasonable expenses incurred in providing such assistance, provided that you notify the Company or any Group Company of the amount of any anticipated loss of income in advance.
