	11.1
	If the Executive is absent from his duties as a result of illness or injury he will notify the Company President as soon as possible and complete any self‐certification forms which are required by the Company.   If the incapacity continues for a period of seven days or more he will produce to the Company a medical certificate to cover the duration of such absence.


		
	11.2
	Subject to the rest of clause 11 and to 17.1.7 and subject to the receipt of the appropriate certificates in accordance with clause 11.1, if the Executive is absent from his duties as a result of illness or injury he will be entitled to payment of his basic salary at the full rate and enjoy his benefits hereunder in respect of such illness or injury for a period (in total) of up to 26 weeks in any period of 12 months (whether the absence is intermittent or continuous).  Thereafter during sickness absence the Executive will not be entitled to any further salary or benefits (other than any medical expenses or permanent health insurance provided by the Company) including without limitation provision of a car until he has returned to work and completed three months’ continuous service with no absences from work other than agreed holidays.









		
	11.3
	If the Executive is absent from work because of any injury or condition (physical or mental and whether or not sustained in the course of his duties) caused wholly or partly by any act or omission of any third party (other than the Company or any Group Company) and recovers damages or compensation from such party, the Executive will repay immediately to the Company a sum equivalent to the amount (if any) of any such damages or compensation which relates to any period of absence during which the Executive received salary from the Company pursuant to clause 11.2.


		
	11.4
	If the Executive has been absent from work because of any injury or condition  (physical or mental) caused wholly or partly by the Company or any Group Company or any person for whom the Company or any Group Company is vicariously liable and for which the Executive may be or become entitled to recover damages or compensation, any such damages or compensation payable will be reduced by the amount of any salary (including Statutory Sick Pay) paid to him and by the pension received or receivable by him in the period in respect of which such damages or compensation are calculated.


		
	11.5
	The Executive’s basic salary paid under clause 11.2 will include any Statutory Sick Pay payable and when this is exhausted will be reduced by the amount of any Social Security Sickness Benefit or other benefits recoverable by the Executive (whether or not recovered).


		
	11.6
	The provisions of this clause and any right or prospective right the Executive has or may have to receive any benefits under the Company’s permanent health insurance scheme referred to in clause 9.2.2 will not prejudice or limit in any way the Company’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to its terms.  In particular but without limitation the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment pursuant to clauses 3.2 or 3.3 for any reason and to clause 17.1 on the grounds set out in that clause even if such termination would prejudice or limit the Executive’s rights or prospective rights under the Company’s permanent health insurance scheme.  The Company may terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause 17.1.1 to 17.1.8 inclusive even if at the time of such termination Company sick pay payable pursuant to clause 11.2 has not been exhausted. 


		
	11.7
	Whether or not the Executive is absent by reason of sickness, injury or other incapacity the Executive will at the request of the Company agree to have a medical examination performed by a doctor appointed and paid for by the Company and the Executive hereby authorises the Company to have unconditional access to any report or reports (including copies) produced as a result of any such examination as the Company may from time to time require and entitlements to salary pursuant to clause 11.2 will be conditional on the Executive complying with the terms of this clause 11.7.


		
	12.
	Conflict of interests    


		
	12.1
	The Executive will disclose promptly to the Company in writing all his interests in any business other than that of the Company and the Group and will notify the Company immediately of any change in his external interests.  Except with the written consent of the Chief Compliance Officer of the Gap, 









Inc. or as set forth herein the Executive will not during his employment under this Agreement be directly or indirectly engaged, concerned, interested or involved in any way, whether as director, officer, employee, shareholder, consultant, partner, principal, servant or agent or otherwise (on his own behalf or on behalf of or in association with any other person) in any other trade, business or occupation other than the business of the Company or any Group Company. This clause will not prevent the Executive from being interested for passive investment purposes only as a member, debenture holder, loan note holder or beneficial owner of any stock, shares or debentures, or loan notes, which are listed or dealt in on a recognised investment exchange and which do not represent more than one per cent of the total share or loan capital from time to time in issue in such company.  This clause also will not prevent the Executive from being interested for passive investment purposes only as a member, debenture holder, loan note holder or beneficial owner of any stock, shares or debentures, or loan notes in Phase Eight and Fat Face in an amount not in excess of three percent of the total share or loan capital from time to time in each such company.  To avoid any doubt, a passive investment purpose only as a member, debenture holder, loan note holder or beneficial owner of any stock, shares or debentures or loan notes means that the Executive cannot be a director, officer, employee, consultant, partner, principal, servant, or agent of such companies. 
		
	12.2
	The Executive will not during his employment introduce to any other person, firm, company or organisation business of any kind with which the Company or any other Group Company for which he has performed services under this Agreement is able to deal and he will not have any financial interest in, or derive any financial or other benefit from, contracts or transactions entered into by the Company or any other Group Company for which he has performed services under this Agreement with any third party without first disclosing such interest or benefit to the Company and obtaining its written approval.

	13.2.1
	within the Restricted Territory for a period of 6 months from the Termination Date be employed, engaged, concerned or interested in or provide technical, commercial or professional advice to any other business which supplies Products or Services in competition with the Company or any Relevant Group Company provided that this restriction does not apply to prevent the Executive from: (i) undertaking duties or activities which are materially different from those undertaken by him during the Relevant Period in the performance of his duties hereunder; or (ii) holding shares or other securities in any company which is quoted, listed or otherwise dealt in on a recognised investment exchange or other securities market and which confer not more than four percent of the votes which could be cast at a general meeting of such company; or (iii) being interested for passive investment purposes only as a member, debenture holder, loan note holder or beneficial owner of any stock, shares or debentures, or loan notes, which are listed or dealt in on a recognised investment exchange and which do not represent more than one per cent of the total share or loan capital from time to time in issue in such company; or (iv) being interested for passive investment purposes only as a member, debenture holder, loan note holder or beneficial owner of any stock, shares or debentures, or loan notes in Phase Eight and Fat Face in an amount not in excess of three percent of the total share or loan capital from time to time in each such company. To avoid any doubt, a passive investment purpose only as a member, debenture holder, loan note holder or beneficial owner of any stock, shares,  debentures or loan notes, means that the Executive cannot be a director, officer, employee, consultant, partner, principal, servant, or agent of such companies

	13.2.5
	for a period of 12 months from the Termination Date so as to compete with the Company or any Relevant Group Company deal or contract with any Relevant Customer in relation to the sale or supply of any Relevant Products or Services, or endeavour to do so; or

	for a period of 12 months from the Termination date solicit, induce or entice away from the Company or any Relevant Group Company or, in connection with any business in or proposing to be in competition with the Company or any Relevant Group Company, employ, engage or appoint or in any way cause to be employed, engaged or appointed a Critical Person whether or not such person would commit any breach of his or her contract of employment or engagement by leaving the service of the Company or any Relevant Group Company; or


		
	13.2.7
	use in connection with any business any name which includes the name of the Company or any Group Company or any colourable imitation of it.


		
	13.3
	Whilst the restrictions in this clause 13 (on which the Executive has had an opportunity to take independent advice as the Executive hereby acknowledges) are regarded by the parties as fair and reasonable, it is hereby declared that each of the restrictions in this clause 13 is intended to be separate and severable.  If any restriction is held to be unreasonably wide but would be valid if part of the wording (including in particular but without limitation the defined expressions referred to in clause 13.1) were deleted, such restriction will apply with so much of the wording deleted as may be necessary to make it valid. 


		
	13.4
	The parties agree that the periods referred to in sub-clauses 13.2.1, 13.2.2, 13.2.3, 13.2.4, 13.2.5 and 13.2.6 above will be reduced by one day for every day during which at the Company’s direction and 









pursuant to clause 16.2 below the Executive has been excluded from the Company’s premises and/or has not carried out any duties or has carried out duties other than his normal duties.
		
	13.5
	If the Executive breaches any of the provisions in this clause 13 the Company will be entitled by written notice to the Executive to extend the period during which the provisions of clause 13 which have been breached apply by an equivalent period to that during which the breach or breaches have continued, such additional period to commence on the date on which the said period would have otherwise expired.  The Executive hereby agrees that if the Company so extends the period of any such restriction, this will not prejudice the right of the Company to apply to the Courts for injunctive relief in order to compel the Executive to comply with the provisions of this clause 14 and/or damages, as the case may be.


		
	13.6
	For the purposes of clauses 13 and 14 the Company has entered into this Agreement as agent for and trustee of all Relevant Group Companies and all Group Companies respectively.


		
	13.7
	If the Executive applies for or is offered a new employment, appointment or engagement, before entering into any related contract the Executive will bring the terms of this clause 13 and clauses 3, 4, 14 ,15, 16 and 17.2 to the attention of a third party proposing directly or indirectly to employ, appoint or engage him.


		
	14.

14.1.1    In consideration of a payment of an amount equivalent to one year’s salary to be paid in 12 equal installments on the last date of each month, as well as continued reimbursement for your costs at current levels to maintain financial counselling services during this same 12 month period, and continued coverage for health and welfare benefits for you and your eligible dependents, if any, of an equivalent of the Company’s then current contribution to the cost for up to 18 months, inclusive of any working notice period, from the date of notice of termination, the Executive agrees that for a period of 12 months from the termination of his employment (“the Post-Termination Severance Period”), he will comply with Clauses 14.1.2 - 14.1.6.
14.1.2    All payments under Clause 14.1.1 are conditional upon the Executive entering into a Compromise Agreement with the Company confirming his acceptance of those payments in full and final settlement of all claims of any nature, howsoever arising in all jurisdictions and whether under contract, tort, statute or otherwise which the Executive has or may have against the Company or any Group Company as at the termination of his employment.







14.1.3    The Executive shall not be entitled to any or any further payments under Clause 14.1.1 if he is in actual or potential breach of this Agreement, or if he accepts any other employment or professional relationship with another company primarily engaged in the apparel design or apparel retail business or any retailer with apparel sales in excess of US$500 million annually.  
14.1.4    Any or any further payments under Clause 14.1.1 will be reduced by the amount of any payments the Executive receives during the Post-Termination Severance Period from any employment or professional relationship which is not with the Company or any Group Company. At the Company’s absolute discretion it may also seek to recover any over payment(s) in accordance with Clause 14.1.1..
14.1.5    During the Post-Termination Severance Period the Executive agrees that he will continue to provide the Company or any Group Company with any services requested by the Company or any Group Company.
