Employee shall be permitted to become a member.



8.3 For so long as the

|(b) |  | the Companys executive top up pension plan.
|--- |  | --------------------------------------------



8.6 If and to the extent that the Employment terminates other than (i) by reason of the Employees resignation (except for a Good Reason); or (ii) in the
circumstances set out in Clause 16.5, then the Company shall, at the Employees election, recommend to the trustees of the relevant Pension Scheme or Schemes, or in relation to the UURB procure, that such termination shall be deemed (solely in
relation to UURB and or such Pension Scheme or Schemes) to be a termination for re-organisation or redundancy (with the intent and effect that the benefits pursuant to the relevant UURB and/or Pension Scheme or Schemes shall apply on the basis of
such re-organisation or redundancy). This arrangement will only apply where the Employee has five or more years continuous service with the Company at the Termination Date (or would have had five or more years continuous service with the
Company at the end of the Relevant Period). The Company will procure that benefits under this arrangement are receivable by the Employee following the later of the Termination Date or the Employee reaching 50 years of age.



| | 9. |  | INSURANCE
| | -- |  | ---------



9.1 During the Employment, subject to the Employees age or health not being such as to prevent cover being obtained without exceptional conditions or unusually high
premiums, the Company will pay for the benefit of the Employee his spouse and any dependent children in full time education under the age of 25 (or such other age as the terms of the insurance arrangements may specify), subscriptions to the
Companys private medical expenses insurance arrangements for the time being in force.



9.2 The Company will provide and maintain Directors and Officers liability insurance coverage in respect of the period for which the Employee is a Director of the Company (or any Group Company) at such levels, for
such risks, subject to such terms and for such period after the Employee ceases to be a Director of a Group Company as the Company or any Group Company, provides and maintains such cover for its Directors generally each year thereafter, including
such self insurance coverage as the Company or any Group Company makes available or obtains on behalf of itself or its Directors. The receipt by the Employee of a Payment in Lieu of Notice or an Agreed Payment shall not prejudice his ability to
continue to benefit under this Clause 9.2.



9.3 The Company shall procure that
during the Employment the Employee has the benefit of death in service insurance cover and long term ill health cover, obtained either directly by the Company or through any Pension Scheme operated by the Company, so as to provide coverage and
benefits as specified in the rules of the relevant Pension Scheme or Schemes or any benefits handbook from time to time issued by the Company to the Employee but in each case by reference to the Employees then basic annual salary.

| | --- |  | -------



10.1 The Employee is entitled to paid holiday per Holiday Year during his Employment for both the periods of holiday entitlement and any bank and public holiday
entitlement as set out in the Table, to be taken at a time or times convenient to the Company. The right to paid holiday will accrue pro-rata during each Holiday Year of the Employment.



10.2 Untaken holiday entitlement may not be carried forward to a future Holiday Year unless the prior written consent of the Board has been
obtained. Subject to clause 10.3 the Employee has no entitlement to be paid in lieu of accrued but untaken holiday.



10.3 On termination of the Employment, the Employees entitlement to accrued holiday pay shall be calculated on a pro-rata basis (which calculation shall be made on
the basis that each day of paid holiday is equivalent to 1/260 of the Employees basic annual salary). If the Employee has taken more working days paid holiday than his accrued entitlement, the Company is authorised to deduct the
appropriate amount from his final salary instalment (which deduction shall be made on the basis that each day of paid holiday is equivalent to 1/260 of the Employees basic annual salary).

11.1 With respect to any period (or periods) of absence due to incapacity or sickness in any period of 24 consecutive calendar months which
is (or are) either by reason of a single or common cause, or a number of associated causes or symptoms, and subject to the Employees compliance with the Companys policy on notification and certification of periods of absence from work,
the Employee will be eligible to receive (i) the basic annual salary referred to in Clause 4 of this Agreement (and, with respect to any period of sickness absence (but only when the Company would otherwise effect payment of such bonuses) such
element of bonus referred to in Clause 5 of this Agreement as the Company may in its discretion determine is appropriate having regard to all the circumstances); and (ii) other employee benefits; as contractual sick pay for up to six months
absence in full and, for the further six months absence following immediately thereafter, at 50% of the contractual rate with respect to basic annual salary (and 50% of such bonus as the Company may in its discretion determine) but 100% with
respect to other non cash benefits (car etc). The Employee will not be paid any additional sums for any absence in excess of twelve months in the aforesaid period of 24 months except, in the event of exceptional circumstances, where the Company (in
its absolute discretion) determines in writing. Such contractual sick pay is deemed to include any statutory sick pay and/or State benefits and the Company will be entitled to deduct from the sums payable, under this paragraph, (a) the amount of
income or other benefits to which the Employee is entitled under the national insurance scheme for the time being in force; and (b) the amount of income or other benefits to which the Employee is entitled under any long term (or permanent) sickness
or disability scheme or arrangement provided for under this Agreement (in each case for the duration of such periods of entitlement). Where notice to terminate this Agreement is given during any period (where such absence

---

from work is due to reasons unconnected with the relevant sickness or injury) any contractual sick pay payable by the
Employer will cease upon the Termination Date and the Employee will no longer be entitled to such pay.



11.2 If the sickness or injury shall be (or appear to be) occasioned by actionable negligence or breach of duty of a third party in respect of which damages are (or may be) recoverable any salary paid to or enjoyed by
the Employee (together with the cost of any benefits enjoyed by the Employee) during his period of absence shall be repayable or deemed to be reimbursable in the event of, and out of, the receipt of the proceeds of any claim against the third party.
The Employee shall immediately notify the Company of the reason for the sickness or injury and of any claim, compromise, settlement or judgment made or awarded in connection with it and shall give to the Company all particulars the Company may
reasonably require and shall be required: if (and to the extent only that) the Employee elects in his discretion, to make a claim against the third party in question, and subject always to the Company contributing to the reasonable cost incurred in
relation to the recovery of its payments or benefits to the Employee, to recover such sums as part of the Employees claim and to repay to the Company that part of any damages or compensation recovered which relates to loss of earnings or benefits
for the period of absence as shall equal the amount of salary or emoluments paid to or benefits enjoyed by the Employee during the period of absence provided that the amount to be refunded shall not exceed the amount of damages or compensation for
such heads of claims or loss accurately recovered (less any costs incurred by the Employee in connection with the recovery of such damages or compensation) and shall not exceed the total salary and benefits paid to the Employee in respect of the
period of absence.



11.3 The Employee agrees that he will undergo a medical
examination by a doctor appointed by the Company at any reasonable time (provided that the costs of all such examinations are paid by the Company). The Company and Employee will be entitled to receive a report produced in connection with all such
examinations in so far as such report contains medical (or other) information that is relevant to the performance of the Employees duties.



11.4 The Company shall not terminate the Employment for the sole or predominant purpose of depriving the Employee of the ability to benefit under any long term (or
permanent) sickness or disability scheme or arrangement provided for under this Agreement to which the Employee would otherwise have been entitled but for such termination.



| | 12. |  | OTHER INTERESTS
| | --- |  | ---------------



12.1 Subject to clause 12.2 and 12.3, during the Employment the Employee will not (without the Boards prior written consent or as set out in the Table) either
solely or jointly or in partnership with or as a Director, Manager, Agent, Employee or Representative of or in any other capacity carry on or be directly or indirectly engaged, concerned or interested in any other business activity, trade or
occupation other than the business concerned or by the Company. The Employee shall disclose to the Board any interest of his, or to his knowledge, his spouse or of any child of him (or his spouse) under eighteen years of age (1) in any trade,
business or occupation



9

whatsoever which is in any way similar to any of those in which any Group Company is involved and (2) in any trade or
business carried on by any supplier of any Group Company whether or not such trade, business or occupation may be conducted for profit or gain where in each such case the situation is, or may be reasonably expected to be perceived as constituting, a
conflict of interest between the Employee and any Group Company.



12.2
Notwithstanding clause 12.1, the Employee may hold for investment purposes an interest (as defined by Schedule 13 Companies Act 1985) of up to 3 per cent in nominal value or (in the case of securities not having a nominal value) in number, or class,
of securities in any class of securities listed or dealt in a Recognised Investment Exchange, provided that the company which issued the securities does not carry on a business which is similar to or competitive with any business for the time being
carried on by any company in the Group save to extent approved in advance by the Board.



12.3 The Employee shall be entitled to be appointed as a non-executive director of another business or company not associated, in competition or conducting business with the Group, where such appointment does not adversely affect the
performance of the duties expressly or implicitly imposed on or to be performed by the Employee pursuant to this Agreement. The acceptance by the Employee of any such appointment is subject to the prior written agreement of the Board. Remuneration
or fees received with respect to appointments subject to this paragraph shall be the property of the Employee. Any such appointments as exist as at the Effective Date are set out in the Table.



| | 13. |  | SHARE DEALING AND OTHER CODES OF CONDUCT
| | --- |  | ----------------------------------------



The Employee will comply with all codes of conduct adopted from time to time by the Board
and with all applicable rules and regulations of the UK Listing Authority, all Recognised Investment Exchanges and any other relevant regulatory bodies, including the Model Code on dealings in securities and will use his best endeavours to procure
that any connected person (as defined in the Companies Act 1985) complies with all such codes, rules and regulations on dealings in securities.



| | 14. |  | INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
| | --- |  | ---------------------



14.1 In this clause Intellectual Property means inventions (whether patentable or not, and whether or not patent protection has been applied for or
granted), improvements, developments, discoveries, proprietary information, trade marks, trade names, logos, art work, slogans, know-how, processes, designs (whether or not registrable and whether or not design rights subsist in them), utility
models, work in which copyright may subsist (including computer software and preparatory and design materials therefore), and all works protected by rights or forms of protection of a similar nature or having equivalent effect anywhere in the world.



14.2 Subject to the provisions of the Patents Act 1977 (PA
1977), the Registered Designs Act 1949 and the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 (CDPA 1988), if at any time in the course of or in connection with the Employment the Employee makes or discovers or participates in the
making or discovery of any Intellectual



10



---

Property directly or indirectly relating to or capable of being used in the business of the Company or any Group Company,
full details of the Intellectual Property shall immediately be disclosed in writing by him to the Company and the Intellectual Property shall be the absolute property of the Company. At the request and expense of the Company, the Employee shall give
and supply all such information, data, drawings and assistance as may be necessary or in the opinion of the Company desirable to enable the Company to exploit the Intellectual Property to the best advantage, and shall execute all documents and do
all things which may be necessary or in the opinion of the Company desirable for obtaining patent or other protection for the Intellectual Property in such parts of the world as may be specified by the Company and for vesting the same in the Company
or as it may direct.



14.3 In relation to the discovery or creation of
Intellectual Property in the course of his duties under this Agreement, the Employee irrevocably appoints the Company to be his attorney in his name and on his behalf to sign, execute or do any such instrument or thing and generally to use his name
for the purpose of giving to the Company (or its nominee) the full benefit of the provisions of this clause, and in favour of any third party a certificate in writing signed by any director of the Company or the company secretary of the Company that
any instrument or act falls within the authority conferred by this clause shall be conclusive evidence that such is the case.



14.4 If the Employee shall at any time make or discover or participate in the making or discovery of the Intellectual Property which belongs to the Company, the Employee
shall not without the written consent of the Company apply for patent or other protection for the Intellectual Property either in the United Kingdom or elsewhere, and shall not do anything which might adversely affect the Companys right to
obtain patent or other protection therefore.



14.5 The Employee hereby assigns
to the Company by the way of prospective assignment the copyright and rights in designs (whether registered or unregistered) and any other proprietary rights for the full terms thereof throughout the world in respect of all copyright works and
designs originated, conceived or made by the Employee (except only those copyright works and designs wholly unrelated, both directly and indirectly, to the activities of the Company or any Group Company and those written, originated, conceived or
made wholly outside the period of the Employees Employment). The Employee hereby expressly waives any and all of his moral rights and rights of a similar nature (including the rights conferred by Section 77, 80 and 84 of the CDPA 1988) in
respect of all copyright works created by the Employee and owned by the Company.



14.6 For the purposes of Section 39(1)(a) of the PA 1977, the course of the normal duties of the Employee shall include the use of the equipment, supplies, facilities, research, know-how, technology, trade secrets and confidential
information of the Company and any Group Company and the Employee has the duty to use the same for the sole benefit of the Company or Group Company (as appropriate) so that any invention made by the Employee which in any way depends upon or was made
or facilitated by the use of the equipment, supplied, facilities, research, know-how, technology, trade secrets or confidential information of the Company or any Group



11

Company shall belong to the Company. The Company and the Employee agree that the nature of the duties and
responsibilities of the Employee are and are expected to continue to be such that the Employee has a special obligation to further the interests of the Companys undertaking within the meaning of Section 39(1)(b) of the PA 1977, and that all
inventions made by the Employee in the course of his duties do and shall belong to the Company.



14.7 Rights and obligations under this clause shall continue in force after termination of this Agreement in respect of Intellectual Property made or discovered during the Employment and shall be binding upon his
heirs, successors, assigns and representatives.



| | 15. |  | DISCIPLINARY AND GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES
| | --- |  | -------------------------------------



15.1 There is no formal disciplinary procedure in relation to the Employment. If the Employee is dissatisfied with any disciplinary decision
taken in relation to him he may appeal in writing to the Chairman of the Board within 7 days of that decision. Subject to any such decision being ratified by the Board, the Chairmans decision shall be final.



15.2 If the Employee has any grievance in relation to the Employment he may raise it in
writing with the Chairman of the Board whose decision, subject to any such decision being ratified by the Board, shall be final.



| | 16. |  | TERMINATION
| | --- |  | -----------



16.1 Either party may terminate the Employment in accordance with clause 2.3.



16.2 The Company may, in its sole discretion, also terminate the Employment at any time by paying a sum in lieu of notice (the Payment in Lieu of
Notice)equal to the aggregate of:



|(a) |  | the basic salary (calculated by reference to the Employees basic salary at the date of termination) which the Employee would have been entitled to receive under this Agreement
during the notice period referred to at clause 2.3 if notice had been given (or, if notice has already been given, during the remainder of the notice period) (the Relevant Period);
|--- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(b) |  | the Employees pension loss in respect of the arrangements in clause 8, which will be determined as the aggregate of:
|--- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (i) |  | in relation to loss of pension benefits under any Inland Revenue approved pension scheme in which the Employee participates, an amount equal to 166% of the amount certified by the
actuary to the relevant scheme as being equal to the cash equivalent transfer value (calculated using actuarial methods and assumptions consistent with those specified in Actuarial Guidance Note GN11) of the additional pension benefits which the
Employee would have accrued if the Employment had continued throughout the Relevant Period; and
| | --- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



12



---

| | (ii) |  | in relation to loss of pension benefits under any unfunded pension scheme not approved by the Inland Revenue in which the Employee participates, an amount certified by an actuary
appointed by the Company as the cash equivalent value (calculated using actuarial methods and assumptions consistent with those specified in Actuarial Guidance note GN11) of the additional pension benefits which the Employee would have accrued if
the Employment had continued throughout the Relevant Period.
| | ---- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



For the purposes of this sub-paragraph pension benefits shall also include life assurance and spouse pension benefits;



|(c) |  | the cost to the Company of providing all the other benefits (excluding pension, bonus and share related incentives) that the Employee would have been entitled to receive or earn
during the Relevant Period or, if either the Company or the Employee requests in writing, a sum based on an estimated cost to the Company of providing those benefits for that period which is agreed to be 15% of the Employees basic annual
salary (calculated by reference to the Employees basic annual salary at the Termination Date) for the Relevant Period.
|--- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



16.3 The Payment in Lieu of Notice shall be subject to such deductions as may be required by law. The Payment in Lieu of Notice shall not prejudice any entitlement the
Employee may have to benefit under clause 8.6 of this Agreement. The Employee shall be entitled to the balance of shares held in the Employees name under the Companys deferred share plan in accordance with the rules of that plan. Any
entitlement that the Employee has or may have or may have had under any plan referred to under clause 5.1 with respect to the period prior to the Termination Date or clause 5.2 with respect to the periods prior to and following the Termination Date
shall be determined in accordance with the rules of the relevant plan and shall not be affected by the Employees receipt of the Payment in Lieu of Notice save that for the application of each such plan under clause 5.2 the Company shall
recommend to the trustee, administrator or Remuneration Committee (as appropriate) that good leaver status or the relevant equivalent provisions in any such plan shall apply to the Employee. As an alternative to the Payment in Lieu of
Notice being paid in a single lump sum, the Company may pay:



|(a) |  | an initial lump sum equal to 50% of the Payment in Lieu of Notice (the First Payment) to be paid on the Termination Date;
|--- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(b) |  | a second lump sum equal to 25% of the Payment in Lieu of Notice (the Second Payment) to be paid 6 months after the Termination Date; and
|--- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(c) |  | a third lump sum equal to 25% of the Payment in Lieu of Notice (the Third Payment) to be paid 9 months after the Termination Date.
|--- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



If the Employee commences alternative employment prior to the date on which the Second
Payment becomes payable, the Second Payment shall be reduced by the basic salary that the Employee will receive from the alternative employment in respect of the period starting 6 months after the Termination Date and ending 9 months after the



13



---

Termination Date. If the Employee commences alternative employment prior to the date on which the Third Payment becomes
payable, the Third Payment shall be reduced by the basic salary that the Employee will receive from the alternative employment in respect of the period starting 9 months after the Termination Date and ending 12 months after the Termination Date. The
Employee agrees to provide the Company with such information as it may reasonably require to calculate the amount by which the Second and Third Payments should be reduced.



16.4 In relation to the Employees entitlement under any plan referred to under clause 5.1 with respect to the Relevant Period, where a
Payment in Lieu of Notice or an Agreed Payment are paid, the Company shall pay a sum (or sums where the Relevant Period spans more than one bonus year) to the Employee, based on the formula: A percentage times Maximum Annual Bonus. For
the purposes of this formula, A shall be such percentage (subject to a maximum of 100%) as the Remuneration Committee shall determine by reference to the performance of the Company against its financial objectives for the relevant
bonus year or years spanned by the Relevant Period, such determination to be consistent with any determination made by the Remuneration Committee regarding the performance of the Company against its financial objectives for the same period or
periods in respect of other employees of the Company whose status and seniority is broadly similar to the status and seniority of the Employee at the Termination Date. The payment of such sum (or sums) shall be made on the date (or dates) on which
the Company makes annual bonus payments in respect of the relevant bonus year (or years) to its other employees whose status and seniority is broadly similar to the status and seniority of the Employee at the Termination Date. The payment of the
sums referred to in this clause 16.4 shall be conditional on the Employee having complied with his obligations under clauses 18 and 19 in respect of the period prior to the payment date (or dates). If the Employee commences alternative employment
prior to the end of the Relevant Period, the Remuneration Committee may reduce the sum or sums payable to the Employee in respect of that period of alternative employment to take account of any performance related bonus that the Employee will
receive from the alternative employment in respect of the same part or parts of the Relevant Period. The Employee agrees to provide the Company with such information as it may reasonably require to calculate the amount by which any sum (or sums)
payable pursuant to this Clause 16.4 should be reduced.



16.5 The Company may
also terminate the Employment immediately and with no liability to make any further payment to the Employee (other than in respect of amounts accrued due at the date of termination) if the Employee:



|(a) |  | commits any serious or repeated breach of any of his material obligations under this Agreement or his Employment (including, but not limited to, those referred to in Clause 3.1);
|--- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(b) |  | is guilty of serious misconduct which, in the Boards opinion, has damaged or may damage the business or affairs of the Company or any other Group Company;
|--- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



14



---

|(c) |  | is guilty of conduct which, in the Boards opinion, brings or is likely to bring himself, the Company or any other Group Company into disrepute;
|--- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(d) |  | is convicted of a criminal offence which would be likely (in the reasonable opinion of the Company) to bring the Employee or the Company into disrepute or subject to adverse public
criticism (other than a road traffic offence not subject to a custodial sentence) and, by way of example but not limitation, involving dishonesty or serious moral turpitude;
|--- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(e) |  | is disqualified from acting as a director of a company by order of a competent court;
|--- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(f) |  | is declared bankrupt or makes any arrangement with or for the benefit of his creditors or has an interim order made against him under Part VIII of the Insolvency Act 1986 or has a
county court administration order made against him under the County Court Act 1984;
|--- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(g) |  | resigns his directorship of the Company or any Group Company (other than at the explicit request of the Board).
|--- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



This clause shall not restrict any other right the Company may have (whether at common law or
otherwise) to terminate the Employment summarily. Any delay by the Company in exercising its rights under this clause shall not constitute a waiver of those rights.



16.6 If at any time either (i) the Company or any Group Company gives notice to terminate the Employment otherwise than properly in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement or terminates the Employment otherwise than properly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (ii) the Employee ceases to be a director (where applicable) of the Company other than (a) in accordance
with either of clauses 16.7(b) and 17.1(b) of this Agreement; (b) by reason of rotational retirement (when followed by re-election) in accordance with the Articles of Association of the Company; (c) by reason of his voluntary resignation; or (d) by
reason of the termination of the Employment in accordance with any of clauses 2.3, 2.4, 16.2, 16.5 and 21 of this Agreement; or (iii) the Employee terminates the Employment for a Good Reason, the Company shall be obliged within 10 working days after
the Employment terminates to pay the Employee a sum (the Agreed Payment) which shall be calculated in the same manner as a Payment in Lieu of Notice pursuant to the provisions of clause 16.2 and shall trigger the application of clause
16.4. If the Employee terminates the Employment for a Good Reason, the Employee shall not be required to give notice of such termination in accordance with clause 2.3, and clause 2.3 is expressly varied in that respect. The following provisions
shall apply in relation to the Agreed Payment.



|(a) |  | The Agreed Payment shall be subject to such deductions as may be required by law and shall be made in full and final settlement of any wrongful dismissal claim the Employee has or
may have against the Company or any Group Company arising from the termination of the Employment. The Agreed Payment shall not prejudice any entitlement the Employee may have to benefit under clause 8.6 of this Agreement. The Employee shall be
entitled to the balance of shares held in the Employees name under the Companys

15



---

deferred share plan in accordance with the rules of that plan. Any entitlement that the Employee has or
may have or may have had under any plan referred to under clause 5.1 with respect to the period prior to the Termination Date or clause 5.2 in respect of the periods prior to and following the Termination Date shall be determined in accordance with
the rules of the relevant plan and shall not be affected by the Employees receipt of the Agreed Payment save that for the application of each such plan under clause 5.2 the Company shall recommend to the trustee, administrator or Remuneration
Committee (as appropriate) that good leaver status or the relevant equivalent provisions in any such plan shall apply to the Employee. As an alternative to the Agreed Payment being paid in a single lump sum, the Company may pay:



| | (i) |  | an initial lump sum equal to 50% of the Agreed Payment (the First Payment) to be paid within 10 working days after the Termination Date;
| | --- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) |  | a second lump sum equal to 25% of the Agreed Payment (the Second Payment) to be paid 6 months after the Termination Date; and
| | ---- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) |  | a third lump sum equal to 25% of the Agreed Payment (the Third Payment) to be paid 9 months after the Termination Date.
| | ----- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



If the Employee commences alternative employment prior to the date on which
the Second Payment becomes payable, the Second Payment shall be reduced by the basic salary that the Employee will receive from the alternative employment in respect of the period starting 6 months after the Termination Date and ending 9 months
after the Termination Date. If the Employee commences alternative employment prior to the date on which the Third Payment becomes payable, the Third Payment shall be reduced by the basic salary that the Employee will receive from the alternative
employment in respect of the period starting 9 months after the Termination Date and ending 12 months after the Termination Date. The Employee agrees to provide the Company with such information as it may reasonably require to calculate the amount
by which the Second and Third Payments should be reduced.



|(b) |  | In consideration for the payment of the Agreed Payment the Employee agrees to remain bound by the restrictions contained in clauses 18 and 19 of this Agreement.
|--- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(c) |  | To the extent that any payment required to be made under this clause 16.6 is not made within the period specified the Company shall be liable for interest on such late payment at
the rate of 150% of the prime rate compounded monthly as posted by the Bank of England from time to time.
|--- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(d) |  | If the Termination Date falls during a period (equivalent to the period of notice required to be given by the Employer as set out in the Table) immediately prior to the
Employees date of retirement under clause 2.4, the Agreed Payment shall be reduced pro-rata to the remaining period of the Employment.
|--- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



16



---

|(e) |  | The Company shall reimburse the Employee for all reasonable legal costs (including disbursements) up to a maximum reimbursement of £3,000 (plus VAT) incurred by the Employee
in connection with the termination of the Employment where the Executive becomes entitled to receive an Agreed Payment under Clause 16.6.
|--- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



16.7 On termination of the Employment for whatever reason (and whether in breach of contract or otherwise) the Employee will:



|(a) |  | immediately deliver to the Company all books, documents, papers, computer records, computer data, credit cards, his company car together with its keys, and any other property
relating to the business of or belonging to the Company or any other Group Company which is in his possession or under his control. The Employee is not entitled to retain copies or reproductions of any documents, papers or computer records relating
to the business of or belonging to the Company or any other Group Company;
|--- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(b) |  | immediately resign from any office he holds with the Company or any other Group Company (and from any related trusteeships) without any compensation for loss of office. Should the
Employee fail to do so he hereby irrevocably authorises the Company to appoint some person in his name and on his behalf to sign any documents and do any thing to give effect to his resignation from office; and
|--- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(c) |  | immediately pay to the Company or, as the case may be, any other Group Company all outstanding loans or other amounts due or owed to the Company or any Group Company. The Employee
confirms that, should he fail to do so, the Company is to be treated as authorised to deduct from any amounts due or owed to the Employee by the Company (or any other Group Company) a sum equal to such amounts.
|--- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



16.8 It is acknowledged that the Employee may, during the Employment, be granted rights, upon
the terms and subject to the conditions of the rules from time to time, of the plans and schemes referred to in clauses 5.1 and 5.2 or any other profit sharing, share incentive, share option, bonus or phantom option scheme operated by the Company or
any Group Company with respect to shares in the Company or any Group Company. Without prejudice to the Employees rights under clauses 16.3, 16.4 and 16.6, if, on termination of the Employment (whether lawfully or in breach of contract) the
Employee loses any of the rights or benefits under such plan or scheme (including rights or benefits which the Employee would not have lost had the Employment not been terminated) the Employee shall not be entitled, by way of compensation for loss
of office or otherwise howsoever, to any compensation for the loss of any rights or benefits under any such plan or scheme save that (provided the Employment terminates other than (a) by reason of the Employees resignation (except for a Good
Reason); or (b) in the circumstances set out in Clause 16.5) for the application of each such plan or scheme the Company shall recommend to the trustee, administrator or Remuneration Committee (as appropriate) that good leaver status or
the relevant equivalent provisions in any such plan or scheme shall apply.



17



---

16.9 The Employee will not at any time after termination of the Employment represent himself as being in any way
concerned with or interested in the business of, or employed by, the Company or any other Group Company.



| | 17. |  | SUSPENSION AND GARDENING LEAVE
| | --- |  | ------------------------------



17.1 Where notice of termination has been served by either party whether in accordance with clause 2.3 or otherwise, the Company shall be
under no obligation to provide work for or assign any duties to the Employee for the whole or any part of the relevant notice period and may require him:



|(a) |  | not to attend any premises of the Company or any other Group Company; and/or
|--- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(b) |  | to resign with immediate effect from any offices he holds with the Company or any other Group Company (and any related trusteeships); and/or
|--- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(c) |  | to refrain from business contact with any customers, clients or employees of the Company or any Group Company; and/or
|--- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(d) |  | to take any holiday which has accrued under clause 10 during any period of suspension under this clause 17.1.
|--- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The provisions of clause 12.1 shall remain in full force and effect during any period of
suspension under this clause 17.1. The Employee will also continue to be bound by duties of good faith and fidelity to the Company during any period of suspension under this clause 17.1.



Any suspension under this clause 17.1 shall be on full salary and benefits (save that the Employee shall not be entitled to earn or be paid
any bonus for any period of suspension with respect to a termination pursuant to Clause 16.5).



17.2 The Company may suspend the Employee from the Employment during any period in which the Company is carrying out a disciplinary investigation into any alleged acts or defaults of the Employee. Such suspension
shall be on full salary and benefits (save that the Employee shall not be entitled to earn or be paid any bonus for any period of suspension except to the extent that such allegations are found to be unproven).



| | 18. |  | RESTRAINT ON ACTIVITIES OF EMPLOYEE AND CONFIDENTIALITY
| | --- |  | -------------------------------------------------------



18.1 Save insofar as such information is already in the
public domain (other than by reason of a breach of this Agreement by the Employee) the Employee will keep secret and will not at any time whether during the Employment or thereafter use for his own or anothers advantage, or reveal to any
person, firm, company or organisation and shall (during the Employment only) use his endeavours (but at the cost of the Company) to prevent the publication or disclosure of any Confidential Information or information which the Employee knows or
ought reasonably to have known to be confidential, concerning the business or affairs of the Company or any other Group Company or any of its or their customers.



18

The restrictions in this clause shall not apply:



|(a) |  | to any disclosure or use authorised by the Board or required by law or by the Employment; or
|--- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Confidential Information shall mean any information concerning the business, customers, transactions, processes, products, know how, secrets or affairs of the Company or the Group or any information which is specified as confidential
by the Company or the Group. Without prejudice to the foregoing generality, Confidential Information also applies to information concerning:-

papers and other goods and articles belonging to any member of the Group, from time to time, on demand.



|(g) |  | The Employee hereby undertakes that he will not, at any time after the termination of the Employment (howsoever arising), either personally or in conjunction with any other person,
directly or indirectly, unless ordered to do so by the Company or Group or by a court of competent jurisdiction or a properly empowered regulatory authority, use/disclose or otherwise communicate any Confidential Information.
|--- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 19. |  | POST-TERMINATION COVENANTS
| | --- |  | --------------------------



19.1 For the purposes of this Agreement Termination Date shall mean the date of the termination of the Employment howsoever
caused (including, without limitation, termination by the Company which is in repudiatory breach of this agreement).



19.2 The Employee covenants with the Company (for itself and as trustee and agent for each other Group Company) that he shall not, whether directly or indirectly, on his
own behalf or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, firm, company or other entity:-



|(a) |  | for the period of (subject to clause 19.3 below) 12 months following the Termination Date, solicit or entice away or endeavour to solicit or entice away from the Company or any
Group Company any person, firm, company or other entity who is, or was, in the period of 24 months immediately prior to the Termination Date, a client (of the Company or any Group Company) with whom the Employee had business dealings at any time
during the course of his employment in that period;
|--- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(b) |  | for the period of (subject to clause 19.3 below) 12 months following the Termination Date, have any business dealings with any person, firm, company or other entity who is, or was,
in the period of 24 months immediately prior to the Termination Date, a client (of the Company or any Group Company) with whom the Employee had business dealings during the course of his employment in that period. Nothing in this clause 19.2(b)
shall prohibit the seeking or doing of business not in direct or indirect competition with the business of the Company or any Group Company;
|--- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(c) |  | for the period of (subject to clause 19.3 below) 12 months following the Termination Date, solicit or entice away or endeavour to solicit or entice away any individual who is
employed or engaged by the Company or any Group Company as a director or in a managerial capacity; and with whom the Employee had business dealings at any time during the course of his employment in the period of 24 months immediately prior to the
Termination Date;
|--- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(d) |  | for the period of (subject to clause 19.3 below) 12 months following the Termination Date, carry on, set up, be employed, engaged or interested in a business anywhere in Scotland,
England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man which is or is about to be in competition with the business of the
|--- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



20



---

| | Company or any Group Company as at the Termination Date with which the Employee was actively involved at any time during the period of 24 months immediately
prior to the Termination Date, including (but not limited to) the businesses of the companies listed in Annex 2 (as may be amended from time to time) (or such other companies as may, from time to time, carry on such businesses). The Company believes
the Employee would inevitably disclose Confidential Information about the Company and/or other Group Companies and by doing so would damage the business interests of the Company and/or other Group Companies if he was employed, engaged or interested
in the business of any of the companies in Annex 2. It is agreed that in the event that any such company ceases to be in competition with the Company and/or any Group Company this clause 19.2(d) shall, with effect from that date, cease to apply in
respect of such company. The provisions of this clause 19.2(d) shall not, at any time following the Termination Date, prevent the Employee from holding shares or other capital not amounting to more than 3% of the total issued share capital of any
company whether listed on a recognised stock exchange or not and, in addition, shall not prohibit the seeking or doing of business not in direct or indirect competition with the business of the Company or any Group Company.

19.3 The period during which the restrictions referred to in
clauses 19.2(a) to (d) inclusive shall apply following the Termination Date shall be reduced by the amount of time during which, if at all, the Company suspends the Employee under the provisions of clause 17.1.



19.4 The Employee agrees that if, during either his employment with the Company or the period
of the restrictions set out in clauses

19.2(a) to (d) inclusive (subject to the provisions of clause 19.3), he receives an offer of employment or
engagement, he will provide a copy of clause 19.2 to the offer or as soon as is reasonably practicable after receiving the offer and if he accepts the offer will inform the Company of the identity of the offer or as soon as reasonably practicable
after accepting the offer.



19.5 The Employee will, at the request and expense
of the Company, enter into a separate agreement with any Group Company that the Company may require under the terms of which he will agree to be bound by restrictions corresponding to those contained in clauses 19.2(a) to (d) inclusive (or such as
may be appropriate in the circumstances).



| | 20. |  | EMPLOYEES POSITION AND DUTIES AS DIRECTOR
| | --- |  | ------------------------------------------



20.1 The Employees position and duties as a director
of the Company or any other Group Company (in both cases where applicable) are subject to the Articles of Association of the relevant Group Company for the time being.



20.2 If the Employee ceases to be a director of the Company in accordance with clause 17.1(b); this Agreement and the Employment will
continue for the time being as if the Employee was a senior employee. and the Employee shall have such duties as were lawfully and properly assigned to him prior to the date thereof but the Employee will cease to have any duties as a director of the
Company.

|--- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(c) |  | for all sensitive personal data, any processing in connection with any merger, sale or acquisition of a company or business in which the Company or any Group Company is involved or
any transfer of any business in which the Employee performs his duties; and
|--- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



22

any benefits or lump sums payable on death.

| | --- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



6



---

|3. |  | EXECUTIVES PENSIONNORMAL RETIREMENT DATE
|-- |  | ------------------------------------------



|3.1 |  | If the Executives pension from the Approved Schemes starts on his retirement from Service at the Normal Retirement Date, the Company will pay the Normal Retirement Pension to
the Executive.
|--- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Even though the Executive
retires from Service at the Normal Retirement Date, the Company will not pay a Normal Retirement Pension if:-



| | (1) |  | the Executive stopped accruing pension before the Normal Retirement Date under Rule 5.1 and a Deferred Pension has become payable under Rule 5.2; or
| | --- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (2) |  | it pays a cash sum in exchange for all of it under sub-rule 6.2.
| | --- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



The amount of the executives pension on retirement at normal retirement age will be a target pension of upto 2/3rds of his or her final pensionable
salary, as if there was no earnings cap, during the period of the employment within the pension scheme and upto normal retirement age of 63. This commitment is subject to deduction or account being taken of any retained or transferred in benefits
that the executive already has as a result of previous employment.



The pension will be increased on each 15 April after it starts by 5% or, if less, by the rate of increase in RPI in the twelve months to the previous December. The first increase will be pro rated on the basis the Actuary considers to be
equitable. If on any occasion after the Executives pension from the Approved Schemes starts, the trustees of the Approved Schemes increase that pension by a percentage greater than that described above, the Company will increase the amount of
the Executives pension by the same percentage and in respect of the same time period.



|3.2 |  | The amounts set out at sub-Rule 3.1 shall be reduced by any cash sum paid in lieu of pension under Rule 6 on a basis certified as reasonable by the Actuary.
|--- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|4. |  | EXECUTIVES PENSIONEARLY RETIREMENT
|-- |  | ------------------------------------



|4.1 |  | The Company will pay to the Executive an early retirement pension before Normal Retirement Date in the event that and at the time an early retirement pension is paid from the
Approved Schemes with the agreement of the Executive. If the Executive leaves Service before the Normal Retirement Date in any other circumstances, the Company will pay a deferred pension under Rule 5.
|--- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



7



---

|4.2 |  | The amount of the early retirement pension under the Arrangement will be the amount, if any, by which the amount P below exceeds the Executives Approved Scheme Pension (or any
pension that represents Retained Benefits transferred to the Approved Schemes).
|--- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



For this purpose, P is calculated from the formula:



P = N x (A-B) x F

NS



where



N = the Executives completed Service



NS = the period from the date the Executive joined Service to Normal Retirement Date



A = two-thirds of the Executives Final Pensionable Salary



B = the Executives Retained Benefits valued as if they were payable at
his Normal Retirement Date



F = the early retirement factor
applicable to the Approved Scheme Pension in the circumstances of the Executives retirement



The Company will make sure that the total of the early retirement provision from the Arrangement and the Approved Scheme Pension is at least of the same
value as the value of the total of the deferred pensions from the Agreement and the Approved Schemes to which the Executive would have been entitled at Normal Retirement Date if the Executive had not agreed to receive the early retirement pension.



The Company will reduce the early retirement pension if it
pays the Executive a cash sum in exchange for part of it under sub-rule 6.1. The reduction is described in sub-rule 6.1.



8



---

|5. |  | EXECUTIVES PENSIONDEFERRED
|-- |  | ----------------------------



|5.1 |  | An Executive will cease to accrue benefits under the Arrangement before Normal Retirement Date when:-
|--- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 5.1.1 |  | he gives the Company 1 months written notice that he no longer wishes to be covered by the Arrangement;
| | ----- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 5.1.2 |  | he terminates Service other than as a result of death;
| | ----- |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| | 5.1.3 |  | he ceases his active membership of the Approved Schemes;
| | ----- |  | --------------------------------------------------------



|5.2 |  | In the circumstances at sub-rule 5.1 the Company will pay to the Executive a deferred pension from Normal Retirement Date. The Executive can ask the Company to pay the deferred
pension from the date on which his Approved Scheme Pension becomes payable instead of from the Normal Retirement Date. The Company will not pay a deferred pension if:
|--- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (1) |  | it pays an early retirement pension under Rule 4, or
| | --- |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| | (2) |  | it pays a cash sum in exchange for all of it under sub-rule 6.2
| | --- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



|5.3 |  | If the deferred pension under the Arrangement starts at Normal Retirement Date, it will be the amount, if any, by which the amount P below exceeds the total of the Executives
Approved Scheme Pension together with the Revaluation Increase.
|--- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



For this purpose, P is calculated from the formula:



P = N x (A-B)

NS



where



N = the Executives completed Service



NS = the period from the date the Executive joined Service to his Normal Retirement Date



A = two-thirds of the Executives Final Pensionable Salary



B = the Executives Retained Benefits valued as if they were payable
at his Normal Retirement Date



9



---

If the Company starts to pay the deferred pension either before or after the Normal Retirement Date, it
will adjust the amount of the deferred pension. The Company will apply, as far as possible, the Approved Scheme Provisions dealing with the circumstances in adjusting the amount. The same will apply to any pension payable on the Executives
death under Rule 7.



The Company will reduce the deferred
pension if it pays the Executive a cash sum in exchange for part of it under sub-rule 6.1.



The Executive will not be able to transfer benefits in respect of his deferred pension to another arrangement except as required under the statutory transfer provisions of the Pension Schemes Act 1993.



|6. |  | CASH IN LIEU OF PENSION
|-- |  | -----------------------



|6.1 |  | Executive Request
|--- |  | -----------------



| | 6.1.1 |  | The Executive may in writing request the Company to pay cash in lieu of part of the Executives Pension, such sum to be paid within seven days of the later of his pension
benefits becoming payable from the Approved Schemes and the Company receiving such instruction.
| | ----- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 6.1.2 |  | The maximum amount of the cash sum will be the same proportion of the capital value of the Executives Pension as applicable in the Approved Schemes and will be determined by
the Actuary on such basis as he considers appropriate.
| | ----- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 6.1.3 |  | In the event of a Change of Control the Company is required to pay to the Executive or to his personal representatives within one month of the Change of Control, or such longer
period as the parties agree in writing, a cash sum in lieu of benefits due under the Arrangement, unless the Executive advises the Company otherwise in writing. The amount of the cash sum will be determined by the Actuary as being equivalent to the
value of the benefits payable to or in respect of the Executive under the Arrangement.
| | ----- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 6.1.4 |  | In the event of a Change of Control during payment of a pension to any person other than the Executive under the Arrangement the Company is required to pay that person or his
personal representatives within one month of the Change of Control, or such longer period as that person and the Company agree in writing, a
| | ----- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



10



---

| | cash sum in lieu of future pension instalments due under the Arrangement to that person. The amount of the cash sum will be determined by the Actuary as
being equivalent to all the future amounts of pension which would otherwise be payable under the Arrangement to that person.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|6.2 |  | Company Request
|--- |  | ---------------



The Company may, at its discretion, offer the Executive or any other person entitled to a pension under the Arrangement a cash sum in lieu of all pension
and cash benefits payable under the Arrangement. In the event that the Executive or that person agrees to payment of the cash sum, no further benefits whatsoever will be payable from the Arrangement to the Executive or to any other person. Such
agreement may be reached before or during payment of the Executives pension, but will not be payable until the Executives pension would otherwise start to be paid. When the cash sum has been paid the Arrangement will terminate.



The amount of the cash sum will be determined by the Actuary
as being equivalent to the value of the benefits payable to or in respect of the Executive under this arrangement.



|7. |  | DEATH BENEFITS
|-- |  | --------------



|7.1 |  | Lump Sum
|--- |  | --------



| | 7.1.1 |  | If the Executive dies in Service and a lump sum is payable under the Approved Schemes the Company will provide a benefit under an insurance policy and pay it out in accordance with
Rule 8.
| | ----- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Company will insure and pay out a
lump sum equal to the difference between an amount equal to (i) 4 x the greater of Final Pensionable Salary and Salary less (ii) the lump sum death benefits payable from the Approved Schemes and any Retained Benefits.



| | 7.1.2 |  | In the event that the Executive dies during payment of the Executives pension and a lump sum benefit of a guaranteed payment of instalments is paid under the Approved Schemes
the Company will pay a cash sum in lieu of the amount the Company decides is equal to the remaining instalments of the Executives Pension from the Arrangement, without discounting or allowing for future increases. The
| | ----- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



11



---

| | payment will be made to those who would be entitled under the Approved Schemes and on the same pro-rata share.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|7.2 |  | Pension
|--- |  | -------



| | 7.2.1 |  | In the event that a pension is payable to an individual from the Approved Schemes on the death of the Executive a pension will be paid to the same individuals and for the same
period as would apply under the Approved Schemes.
| | ----- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 7.2.2 |  | The pension payable at 7.2.1 shall be subject to reduction or withdrawal in the event that a cash sum has been paid in lieu of pension under the Rules.
| | ----- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Pension on death in service



| | 7.2.3 |  | In the event of the Executives death in Service: -
| | ----- |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| | (i) |  | the Company shall pay to the Executives spouse or surviving adult dependant entitled to a pension under the Approved Schemes a pension of one half of the prospective pension
to which the Executive would have been entitled on reaching Normal Retirement Date. For this purpose the Executives prospective pension is the total pension the Executive would have been entitled to from both the Arrangement and the Approved
Schemes at Normal Retirement Date (except any pension provided by the Retained Benefits transferred into the Approved Schemes), based on his Final Pensionable Salary at the date of his death.
| | --- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The pension will be increased on each 15 April after it starts by 5% or, if
less, by the rate of increase in RPI in the twelve months to the previous December. If the pension starts after 15 April the first increase will be pro rated on the basis the Actuary considers to be equitable. If on any occasion after the
spouses or surviving adult dependants pension from the Approved Schemes starts, the trustees of the Approved Schemes increase that pension by a percentage greater than that described above, the Company will increase the amount of the
spouses or surviving adult dependants pension by the same percentage and in respect of the same time period.



| | (ii) |  | the Company shall pay a pension to each of the Executives children who are entitled to a payment of pension under the Approved Schemes. The total pension payable will be one
half of the prospective pension to which
| | ---- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



12



---

| | the Executive would have been entitled on reaching Normal Retirement Date and this will be divided by the number of children entitled to a payment of pension
under the Approved Schemes and an equal amount paid to each child whilst a childrens pension is payable from the Approved Schemes.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Each pension payable in accordance with this sub-Rule 7.2.3(ii) will be increased on each 15 April after it starts by 5% or, if less, by the rate of
increase in RPI in the twelve months to the previous December. If the pension starts after 15 April, the first increase will be pro rated on the basis the Actuary considers to be equitable. If on any occasion after the childs pension from the
Approved Schemes starts, the trustees of the Approved Schemes increase that pension by a percentage greater than that described above, the Company will increase the amount of the childs pension by the same percentage and in respect of the same
time period.



Pension on death after commencement of
Executives Pension



| | 7.2.4 |  | In the event of the Executives death during payment of the Executives Pension the Company shall pay to the Executives surviving spouse or surviving adult dependant
entitled to a pension under the Approved Schemes a pension of one-half of the Executives total pension from the Arrangement and the Approved Schemes, assuming the Executive had not taken any cash in exchange for pension from either the
Arrangement or the Approved Schemes, less that persons Approved Scheme Pension.
| | ----- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The pension will be increased on each 15 April after it starts by 5% or, if less, by the rate of increase in RPI in the twelve months to the previous
December. If the pension starts after 15 April the first increase will be pro rated on the basis the Actuary considers to be equitable, unless the Executives Pension had started on or before the previous 15 April. If on any occasion after the
spouses pension from the Approved Schemes starts, the trustees of the Approved Schemes increase that pension other than a guaranteed minimum pension by a percentage greater than that described above, the Company will increase the amount of the
spouses pension by the same percentage and in respect of the same time period.

ANNEX 4



PENSION & UURB SUMMARY



IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THIS ANNEX



|1. |  | The following constitutes an indicative summary,for illustrative purposes only, of some of the benefits and the terms and conditions to which the Executive
may be subject. The summary is not, and is not intended to be, of a contractual nature and neither does it constitute any representation, warranty, condition, term or binding description as to the benefits (if any) that the Pensions Schemes
(including Executive Top Up Schemes) or UURBS might bestow.
|-- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|2. |  | Both Pension Schemes and the UURBS arrangements (including Executive Top Up Schemes) are subject to detailed relevant rules and procedures all of which are set out in the various
scheme documents, which are available on request.
|-- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|3. |  | Membership of neither UURB nor the Executive Top Up Scheme is conveyed under the terms and conditions of employment of an Executiveexceptwhere expressly
indicated in the Table. (For certain long-service Executives neither of the UURBs or Executive Top Up Schemes might convey rights or entitlements in addition to those to which an Executive may already be entitled under pre existing Pension
Schemes applicable to them with the effect that for these individuals alone the Table expressly excludes entitlement to such SchemesSee Note D below) .
|-- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|A |  | GENERAL
|- |  | -------



The main benefits of the ScottishPower pension scheme arrangements as described in this Annex are:



| | Pension for lifefrom normal retirement age (63) or the option, at retirement and so far permissible by relevant law and regulation at retirement, to take a tax-free lump sum
and a reduced pension.
|- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | Insurance Cover in Service (Death in Service Benefit)while the Executive remains a contributing employee of the Company only, comprised of a Lump sum of 4 x pensionable salary
(uncapped) & dependants or spouses pension of 1⁄2 prospective pension to age 63.
|- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | Insurance Cover whilst retiredwith full pension guaranteed for 5 years and dependants or spouses pension of 1⁄2 members pension thereafter.
|- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | Permanent Disability Coverif early retirement arises due to permanent ill health or permanent disability a permanent disability pension payable for life.
|- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | Discretionary Early retirementif age 55+, and with 10 years Pensionable Service with the Company the entitlement to ask to retire early and, subject to the
consent of the Company whichcan be withheld in its absolute discretion, immediate payment of accrued pension without actuarial reduction.
|- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



---

| | Imposed Early Retirement Iif age 50+ and 5 years Pensionable Service and where termination of employment is as a result of redundancy or reorganisation, immediate payment of
accrued pension without actuarial reduction.
|- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | Imposed Early Retirement IIif age is under 50, with 5 or more years Pensionable Service and termination is as a result of redundancy or reorganisation then
subject to (i) the request or recommendation of the Company which can (subject to other terms of an Executives contract of Employment) be withheld in its absolute discretion;and (ii) the agreement of the trustees of the relevant
scheme: a deferred pension, payable from 50, withoutactuarial reduction.
|- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | If less than 5 years Pensionable Service and termination occurs in any circumstances, pension payable from age 63.
|- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Note: Subject to the relevant Pension Scheme Rules, Pensionable Service for the
purposes of the relevant pension schemes means actual service with the Company, or a member of the ScottishPower Group, including transferred in benefits, and may (for the purpose of the terms and conditions of employment of an Employee) include the
period of service that would have elapsed had the Company given the period of notice of termination required to be given pursuant to an individuals terms and conditions of employment.



|B |  | The ScottishPower Executive Top Up Plan (Top Up Plan)
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------



The Top Up Plan, where applicable to an Executive, aims to give eligible ScottishPower senior executives (the Executive) the right to earn a target maximum
pension of up to two-thirds of his Final Salary, as if there was no Inland Revenue earnings cap, during the period of an Executives pensionable employment (i.e. as a contributing member of the Pension Scheme) and up to the normal retirement
age of 63. This commitment is subject to deduction, or account being taken, of any retained or transferred in benefits that the Executive already has a result of previous employment.



The Top Up Plan combines the following elements:



| |  |  | ScottishPower Scheme approved pension benefitbased on service to normal retirement age and subject to the Inland Revenue earnings cap.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Executive Plan approved benefitbased on the Executives deemed (i.e.enhanced) pensionable service and his/her current salary (subject to the
earnings cap). Total benefits, include transferred in and retained benefits but cannot, and do not, exceed the Inland Revenue limit.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Executive Plan unapproved benefitsthe balance between the Executives target pension under the plan and the Inland Revenue limits.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



---

|C |  | Unfunded Unapproved Retirement Benefits (UURBS)
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------



The UURBS effectively means that the company, itself, makes provision for its Executives pension commitments above the Inland Revenue limits as
determined by that earnings cap which applies to Employees who joined the Company on or after 1stJune 1989 all in
accordance with the UURBS Deed and Rules.



|D |  | Notes Common to B and C
|- |  | -----------------------



The extent to which the Employee benefits, or would benefit, from the Top Up Plan or UURBS depends upon a number of factors including:



| | the potentiallength of his/her period of service with ScottishPower at the normal retirement age of 63
|- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | the existing value of his/her retained benefits at the time of entering the relevant UURB or Top Up Plan
|- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | the issue of whether the Executive joined the group on or after 1 June 1989 (being therefore subject to the Inland Revenue pensionable salary cap (currently £99,000 pa)).
|- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The precise value and composition of the pension benefits
bestowed by the Top Up and UURBS plans, and accordingly the need for an Executive to be a participatory member in either such scheme, will vary for each Executive Top-Up Plan member based on their own individual situation.
