	 	5.4	 Any bonus paid is not pensionable and is subject to deductions for tax and social security contributions, or any other

 8 

	 	 such plans and that the Executive will not acquire such a right, nor shall the Company or any Group Company come under
such an obligation, merely by virtue of the Executive’s having received one or more award of shares or grant of share options or the Company or any Group Company having operated one or more such plans during the course of the Employment.

with the stated policy for the Executive’s reward band in the principal place of work, to be taken at times to be agreed with the Company in advance. Subject to Clause 9.3, no payment will be made for vacation days not taken in the Vacation

employment or the performance of the Executive’s duties. 

  

	 	10.4	 If the Executive is absent from work by reason of injuries sustained wholly or partly as a result of actionable
negligence, nuisance or breach of any statutory duty on the part of any third party other than the Company or any Group Company, the Executive shall promptly inform the Executive’s line manager of that fact and the Company in its discretion may
require the Executive to take all reasonable steps to recover from such third party or its insurers compensation including repayment of all sums paid to the Executive by the Company under this clause in respect of such absence (which shall be deemed
to be paid by way of interest free loan by the Company, subject to any limit imposed under relevant legislation). Any such sums (which are paid to the Executive by the Company on that basis) shall in turn be repaid by the Executive when and to the
extent that the Executive recovers compensation for loss of earnings from that third party or its insurers by legal action or otherwise less any reasonable costs incurred in recovering any such compensation.

level and subject to the terms of the rules governing the Plans from time to time, including, without limitation, any powers to amend or terminate the Plans. The Executive’s participation in the Plans shall be in substitution for and shall
operate to the exclusion of, any agreement or representation, whether written or oral, in relation to pension entitlement made with or to the Executive by any person on behalf of the Company or any Group Company at any time. 

 

	13.	 Health and Welfare Benefits 

 

	 	13.1	 The Executive, the Executive’s spouse and any dependent unmarried children under age 21, or older as required by
applicable local legislation, as the case may be, will to the extent eligible (as determined by the Executive’s reward band and any applicable plan rules) participate in and receive benefits under the healthcare plan and life insurance plan

	 	13.2	 A copy of the relevant healthcare and life insurance plans shall be provided to the Executive and the Executive is
required to comply with their rules from time to time. The Company or relevant Group Company reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to vary the plans or to suspend (for a fixed or indefinite period) or withdraw the plans without providing
any replacement. 

  

	 	13.3	 In the event that the Executive claims under any insurance scheme referred to in

	 	15.3	 Without prejudice to Clause 15.1 above, and subject to Clause 15.4 below, during the Employment the Executive will not
be directly or indirectly engaged or concerned in the conduct of any activity which is similar to or competes with any activity carried on by

the proper performance of the Executive’s or the other person’s duties to the Company or any Group Company. 

  

	 	17.5	 The Executive shall promptly disclose to the Company full details of any knowledge or suspicion the Executive has

	20.	 Directorships 

  

	 	20.1	 The Executive shall accept appointment as a director of the Company and of any such Group Company or other company as
the Company may reasonably require in connection with the Executive’s appointment under this Agreement and the Executive shall resign without claim for compensation from office as a director of any such company at any time on request by the
Company, which resignation shall not affect the continuance in any way of this Agreement. The Executive shall immediately account to the Company for any director’s fees or other emoluments, remuneration or payments either receivable or received
by the Executive by virtue of the Executive’s holding office as such director (or waive any right to the same if so required by the Company). 

  

	 	20.2	 Upon the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company however arising and for whatsoever reason the
Executive shall, upon the request of the Board, resign without claim for compensation (but without prejudice to any claim the Executive may have for damages for breach of this Agreement) from:

	 	21.1	 Neither the Company nor any Group Company is under any obligation to provide the Executive with any work. At any time
after notice to terminate the Employment is given by either party, or if the Executive resigns without giving due notice and the Company does not accept the Executive’s resignation, the Company may, at its absolute discretion, require the

	 	21.2.3	 contact or have any communication with any employee, officer, director, agent or consultant of the Company or any other
Group Company in relation to the business of the Company or any other Group Company (other than purely social contact); or

such companies. 

  

	 	21.3	 The Company may require the Executive: 

 

	 	21.3.1	 to comply with the provisions of Clause 23; and 

 

	 	21.3.2	 to immediately resign from any directorship, trusteeships or other offices which the Executive holds in the Company, any
other Group Company or any other company where such directorship or other office is held as a consequence or requirement of the Employment, unless the Executive is required to perform duties to which any such directorship, trusteeship or other
office relates in which case the Executive may retain such directorships, trusteeships or other offices while those duties are ongoing. 

  

	 	21.4	 The Executive hereby irrevocably appoints the Company to be the Executive’s attorney to execute any instrument and
do anything in the Executive’s name and on behalf of the Executive to effect the Executive’s resignation if the Executive fails to do so in accordance with this Clause 21.3.2. 

 

	 	21.5	 During the Garden Leave Period, the Executive will be entitled to receive the Executive’s salary and all
contractual benefits in accordance with the terms of this agreement. Any unused vacation accrued at the commencement of the Garden Leave Period and any vacation accrued during any such period will be deemed to be taken by the Executive

  
 16 

	 	 
during the Garden Leave Period. 

  

	 	21.6	 At the end of the Garden Leave Period, the Company may, at its sole and absolute discretion, pay the Executive salary in
lieu of the balance of any period of notice given by the Company or the Executive (less any deductions the Company is required by law to make). In any event, the Company’s payment in lieu of the unexpired period of notice, as well as payment of
any base salary attributable to the Garden Leave Period, will be completed within 2.5 months following the later of the end of the calendar year or the Company fiscal year that occurs immediately following the commencement of the Garden Leave
Period. 

  

	 	21.7	 During the Garden Leave Period: 

 

	 	21.6.1	 the Executive shall provide such assistance as the Company or any Group Company may require to effect an orderly
handover of the Executive’s responsibilities to any individual or individuals appointed by the Company or any Group Company to take over the Executive’s role or responsibilities; 

 

	 	21.6.2	 the Executive shall be available to deal with requests for information, provide assistance, be available for meetings
and to advise on matters relating to work (unless the Company has agreed that the Executive may be unavailable for a period); and 

  

	 	21.6.3	 the Company may appoint another person to carry out the Executive’s duties in substitution for the Executive.

  

	 	21.8	 All duties of the Employment (whether express or implied), including without limitation the Executive’s duties of
fidelity, good faith and exclusive service, shall continue throughout the Garden Leave Period save as expressly varied by this Clause 21. The Executive agrees that the exercise by the Company of its rights pursuant to this Clause 21 shall not
entitle the Executive to claim that the Executive has been constructively dismissed. 

  

	22.	 Termination 

  

	 	22.1	 This Agreement and the Executive’s employment with the Company hereunder may be terminated immediately by the
Company without prior notice if the Executive at any time: 

  

	 	(a)	 commits any act of gross misconduct or gross incompetence or other repudiatory breach of contract; or

  

	 	(b)	 without reasonable excuse and with prior written warning, repeats or continues any gross misconduct or neglect in the
discharge of the Executive’s duties or other breach of contract (not falling within 22.1(a) above); or 

  

	 	(c)	 has been adjudicated a bankrupt by a bankruptcy court; or 

 

	 	(d)	 is convicted of any criminal offence other than an offence which, in the reasonable opinion of the Board, does not
affect the Executive’s position as an employee of the Company (bearing in mind the nature of the duties in which the Executive is engaged and the capacity in which the Executive is employed); or 

 

	 	(e)	 by the Executive’s actions or omissions, brings the name or reputation of the Company or any Group Company into
serious disrepute or prejudices the interests 

  
 17 

	 	 
of the business of the Company or any other Group Company. 

Any delay by the Company in exercising such right to termination shall not constitute a waiver thereof. 

 

	 	22.2	 In the event of termination pursuant to Clause 22.1, the Company shall not be obliged to make any further payment to the
Executive beyond the amount of any remuneration and payment in lieu of outstanding untaken vacation entitlement actually accrued up to and including the date of such termination and the Company shall be entitled to deduct from such remuneration any
sums owing to it or to any other Group Company (including but not limited to any advance of a cash float to cover business expenses, any advance of pay, or any vacation pay relating to vacation taken in excess of accrued entitlement) by the
Executive to which deduction the Executive expressly hereby consents. 

  

	 	22.3	 In the event of the termination of the Employment of the Executive for whatever reason and whether by notice or in any
other manner whatsoever, the Executive agrees that the Executive will not at any time after such termination represent the Executive as still having any connection with the Company or any Group Company save as a former employee for the purpose of
communicating with prospective employers or complying with any applicable statutory requirements. 

  

	 	22.4	 In the event that the Executive is incapacitated by ill health, accident or any other cause from performing the
Executive’s duties under this Agreement for a period of 26 weeks or more (whether consecutive or not) in any continuous period of 2 years, then the Company may terminate this Agreement by giving to the Executive six months notice, in writing
expiring at any time (whether or not the Executive remains incapacitated from performing the Executive’s duties under this Agreement) provided always that the Executive shall receive all benefits lawfully due to the Executive under this
Agreement calculated up to the date of termination of employment. 

  

	 	22.5	 As an alternative to serving notice pursuant to Clause 1.2 or 22.4 and without prejudice to the provisions of Clauses
22.1 and 22.2, the Company may, in its absolute discretion, terminate this Agreement without prior notice and make a payment in lieu of the notice to which the Executive would have been entitled during the period of notice of termination equal to
the basic salary to which the Executive would have been entitled during the period of notice on the basis that the Executive’s basic salary would have been at the rate applying at the date of termination (less deductions for income tax and any
other deductions the Company is required by law to make). Where the Company uses such discretion, this Agreement will terminate upon payment to the Executive of such sum. Any payment by the Company in lieu of notice will be made as soon as
practicable and, in any event, completed within 2.5 months following the later of the end of the calendar year or the Company fiscal year that occurs immediately following the Company’s decision to make such payment. 

 

	 	22.6	 Once notice has been given, either by the Company or the Executive, the Company may, in its absolute discretion, at any
time during such notice terminate this Agreement without prior notice and make a payment in lieu of such unexpired period of notice equal to the basic salary to which the Executive would have been entitled during the unexpired period of notice on
the basis that the Executive’s basic salary would have been at the rate applying at the date of termination (less deductions for income tax and any other deductions the Company is required by law to make) and the Agreement will terminate
immediately thereafter. Any payment by the Company in lieu of any unexpired period of notice will be made as soon as practicable and, in any event, 

  
 18 

	 	 completed within 2.5 months following the later of the end of the calendar year or the Company fiscal year that occurs
immediately following the Company’s exercise of its discretion to make such payment in lieu of the unexpired period of notice. 

  

	 	22.7	 The Company may, in its absolute discretion, for any period at any time and/or once notice of termination of employment
has been given: 

  

	 	(a)	 exclude the Executive from any premises of the Company and/or of any Group Company; and/or 

 

	 	(b)	 require the Executive to carry out specified duties (consistent with the Executive’s skills, role and experience)
or not to perform all or any of the Executive’s duties; and/or 

  

	 	(c)	 require the Executive to resign any directorship or other office of the Company and/or any Group Company which the
Executive may hold without claim for compensation for loss of a directorship or other office; and/or 

  

	 	(d)	 require the Executive to absent the Executive from any meeting of directors or managers of the Company or any Group
Company at which Confidential Information may be disclosed or discussed; 

 and the Executive agrees that such
action by the Company shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement provided that throughout the period of any such action the Executive continues to receive his salary and contractual benefits (unless and until this Agreement shall be
terminated). 
  

	 	22.8	 As a condition to making the payments and providing the benefits stated in Clause 21.5, or in Clauses 22.5 or 22.6, the
Company may require the Executive to execute and deliver a general release in which he (i) releases all claims that he may have in respect of his employment against any Group Company and any of their respective past or present officers,
directors or employees other than his rights under Clauses 21.5, 22.5 and 22.6 of this Agreement or another agreement into which he and the Company subsequently enter and (ii) covenants that he has not filed and will not file any civil action,
suit, arbitration, administrative charge, or legal proceeding against any of the released parties in respect of the released claims. 

  

	23	 Return of Property 

 

	 	23.1	 Immediately on request and in any event upon the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company for
whatsoever cause, the Executive shall immediately deliver up to the Company or its authorised representative any property of the Company or any other Group Company which may be in the Executive’s possession, custody or under the
Executive’s control, including, without limitation and where relevant, laptop, mobile telephone, electronic organiser, wireless devices, minutes, memoranda, correspondence, notes, records, reports, sketches, plans or other documents or writing

record being made) and any copies thereof, whether or not the property was originally supplied to the Executive by the Company or any other Group Company.

	30.	 Disputes 

  

	 	30.1	 Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent permitted by law, the Executive and the Company waive any and all rights to a

	 	31.1	 Without prejudice to the terms of the offer letter dated 28 November 2014 from Richard Solomons, Chief Executive

make it valid or effective. The parties shall negotiate in good faith to replace any such illegal or unenforceable provisions with suitable substitute provisions which will maintain as far as possible the purposes and the effect of this Agreement.

Executive in a manner consistent with Treas.Reg. section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv). Further, if any payment made as a direct result of this Agreement is deemed to constitute “deferred compensation” under
section 409A and is payable upon “separation from service” (as defined in section 409A), it is intended that such payment(s) will be delayed for six (6) months if the Executive is a “specified employee” (as defined in

short-term deferral period exemption under section 409A. Any payments that result from any plan or arrangement that is separately subject to the terms of section 409A will be made in accordance with the applicable terms of such plan or arrangement,
except to the extent explicitly modified by this Agreement.

limited in a particular manner then the said restrictions shall apply with such deletions, restrictions or limitations as the case may be.
