	 	(a)	if delivered personally, when left at the address and for the contact referred to in this clause 20; or

	 	(c)	if sent by pre-paid first-class post or recorded delivery, 2 business days from the date of posting; or 

  

	 	(d)	by an email subject to, and setting out in full, the provisions of Clause 20.3 below. 

  

	20.3	A notice or other communication required to be given under this Agreement shall not be validly given if sent by e-mail unless acknowledged by the recipient. 


 

	20.4	The provisions of this clause 20 shall not apply to the service of any proceedings or other documents in any legal action. 

  

	21.	SEVERANCE 

  

	21.1	If any provision of this Agreement (or part of any provision) is found by any court or other authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision or part-provision shall, to the
extent required, be deemed not to form part of this Agreement, and the validity and enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected. 


  
 14 









	21.2	If a provision of this Agreement (or part of any provision) is found illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the provision shall apply with the minimum modification necessary to make it legal, valid and enforceable.


  

	22.	THIRD PARTY RIGHTS EXCLUDED 

 A person who is not a party to this Agreement (other than
TCP, which has all rights of the Employer) shall not have any rights under or in connection with it. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that they are pursuing the potential
transfer of the Employee to a different subsidiary of TCP and, in the event of such transfer, the parties hereby agree that they shall negotiate in good faith to amend or replace this Agreement and Appointment. 

 

	22.1	This Agreement (and any document referred to in it) constitutes the whole agreement between the parties (and in the case of the Employer, as agent for any Group Companies) and supersedes all previous agreements between
the parties and supersedes any previous arrangement, understanding or agreement between them relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. Each party warrants to the other parties that, in entering into this Agreement (and any document referred
to in it), it does not rely on any statement, representation, assurance or warranty of any person (whether a party to this Agreement or not) other than as expressly set out in this Agreement (or those documents). 


 

	22.2	Except as provided in clauses 23.3 and 23.4, each party agrees and undertakes to the other parties that the only rights and remedies available to it arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or its subject
matter shall be solely for breach of contract, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 

  

	22.3	The Employee acknowledges that he has been employed for his unique talents and that his leaving the employment of the Employer would seriously hamper the business of the Employer and TCP and that the Employer and TCP
will suffer irreparable damage if any provisions of clause 13 are not performed strictly in accordance with their terms or are otherwise breached. The Employee expressly agrees and understands that the remedy at law for any breach by the Employee of
clause 13 will be inadequate and that the damages flowing from such breach are not readily susceptible to being measured in monetary terms. Accordingly the Employer and TCP will be entitled, among other remedies, to immediate injunctive relief and
may obtain a temporary restraining order restraining any threatened or further breach. Nothing in this clause 23.3 will be deemed to limit the Employer’s or TCP’s remedies at law or in equity for any breach by the Employee of any of the
provisions of this Agreement which may be pursued or availed of by TCP. In the event any court of competent jurisdiction determines that the specified time period or geographical area set forth in clause 13 is unenforceable, then a lesser time
period or geographical area that is determined by the court to be enforceable shall be enforced. In the event the Employee violates any legally enforceable provision of clause 13 as to which there is a specific time period during which Employee is
prohibited from taking certain actions or engaging in certain activities, then, in such event the violation will toll the running of the time period from the date of the violation until the violation ceases. 


 

	22.4	Nothing in this clause 23 shall limit or exclude any liability for fraud.

	23.	VARIATION 

 No variation or agreed termination of this Agreement or of any document
referred to in it shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by or on behalf of each of the parties. 
  

	24.	COUNTERPARTS 

 This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts including by
facsimile or electronic means (but shall not be effective until each party has executed at least one counterpart), each of which, when executed, shall constitute an original of this Agreement and which together shall have the same effect as if each
party had executed the same Agreement. 
  

	25.	COMMENCEMENT 

 This Agreement shall commence when it is signed by all the parties and
dated (Effective Date). 
  

	26.	GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION AND SURVIVAL

law of England and Wales. 

  

	26.2	The parties irrevocably agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim that arises out of or in connection with this Agreement or its subject matter or
formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims). 

  

	26.3	Clauses 13, 14, 15, 23 and 27 shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the employment relationship of the Employee by the Employer.

 SCHEDULE A 

RELEASE 
 I, Thomas
Luecke, in consideration of and as provided in clause 15.1(f) of the Employment Agreement dated                     , 2013 (the “Employment
Agreement”), between myself and Technical Consumer Products Limited (“TCP-UK”), for and on behalf of myself, my agents, heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, does hereby release and forever discharge TCP-UK and all of its
direct and indirect parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, successors, and assigns, past and present, and each of them, as well as each of their respective agents, directors, officers, partners, employees, representatives, insurers,
attorneys, and joint venturers, and each of them (the “Released Parties”), from any and all claims and liability of any nature whatsoever which are based upon acts or events that occurred on or before the date on which this Release becomes
enforceable, including, without limitation, any and all claims arising under any federal, state, or local employment laws or anti-discrimination statutes. The phrase “any and all claims” will be interpreted liberally to preclude any
further disputes, litigation, or controversies between me and any of the Released Parties based upon events that occurred on or before the effective date of this Release. The phrase does not cover such disputes based upon (x) events occurring
after the effective date of this Release or (y) obligations of TCP-UK that survive termination of the Employment Agreement. 
 I
understand I am not waiving any rights or claims that may arise out of acts or events that occur after the date on which I sign this Release. 

I have been given at least 21 days to consider whether or not to sign this Release and have been advised in writing to consult with an
attorney prior to signing it. I understand that I may revoke this Release at any time on or before the date which is seven calendar days after the date of my signature on this Release and that, unless previously revoked, the Release will be
enforceable upon the expiration of the seven-day revocation period. I acknowledge that I am not entitled to receive the severance payment referenced above absent execution of this Release, and that this payment is valuable consideration in exchange
for my waiver of rights and claims in this Release. 
 I have read this Release, understand all of its terms, and hereby execute it
voluntarily and with full knowledge of its significance.
