                      negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust by the Director in relation to the Company or any Associated Company.  The Director warrants that he is not aware of any existing Liabilities and that he is not aware of any
                      circumstances that may give rise to any Liabilities.

                


        

      

       

      
        
          	2.8	
                  The Company undertakes and agrees to provide and maintain in force D&O Insurance for the benefit of the Director providing a level of cover in respect of its scope

                      statements made in connection with the obtaining of D&O Insurance, and with the terms and conditions of such D&O Insurance as may be in force from time to time, including compliance with conditions relating to the notification
                      and conduct of claims and incurring of legal costs. The Company shall not be liable for any Claim to the extent that the Director’s failure so to comply directly or indirectly results, or may result, in indemnity for that Director
                      being declined under such D&O Insurance.

                      deduction or withholding except as may be required by law (in which event such deduction or withholding shall not exceed the minimum amount required by law and the Company will simultaneously pay to the Director whatever additional
                      amount is required for the net amount received to equal what would have been received if no such deduction or withholding had been required).

                


        

      

       

      
        
          	2.10	
                  If the Company makes any payment under this Deed, subject to the terms of any D&O Insurance in force at the relevant time, it shall be subrogated to the extent of
                      such payment to any right the Director may have for recovery of the amounts so paid from any third party. The Director agrees to execute all documents required and do all other acts necessary to effect the foregoing provisions and
                      permit the Company to enforce the rights so subrogated.
