discretion from time to time and shall include/exclude such further business(es) and/or personnel to conduct such business as the Chairman shall determine and assign to the Individual Member from time to time in his sole and absolute discretion but
consistent with the business of the Partnership and/or any Affiliate at the time. 

  

	1.	DURATION OF MEMBERSHIP:

(the “Initial Period”), and commencing 1 April 2021, either the Individual Member or the Partnership may at any time give twenty-four (24) months’ advance notice (the “Notice Period”) to the other in writing to
terminate the Individual Member’s Membership, and (ii) such termination of Membership shall be effective upon the expiration of such Notice Period. Membership shall, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of this Deed and
except as modified in accordance with Clause 7 herein, continue following 31 March 2023 on the same terms and conditions set forth in this Deed until expiration of the Notice Period (such time period between 31 March 2023 and the
expiration of the Notice Period shall be referred to as the “Renewal Period”). Any such notice given by the Individual Member or the Partnership hereunder shall also be delivered simultaneously in writing by the Individual Member or
Partnership (as appropriate) to BGC Partners, Inc., c/o General Counsel, 499 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10022. Such notice shall be delivered by hand, electronic mail or overnight courier and shall be effective at such time as it is received by both
the Individual Member or the Partnership, as the case may be, and by BGC Partners, Inc. 

  

	2.	WORKING REQUIREMENTS: 

  

	2.1	The Individual Member’s normal hours of work will be 7.15 am to 5.30 pm, on Monday to Friday, subject to clause 16.1(B) of the Partnership Deed and therefore the Individual Member shall work such hours and travel
as may be reasonably required for the proper performance of his duties. 

  

	2.2	The Individual Member will carry out the business of the Partnership (or as required for one of its Affiliates) in the office at One Churchill Place, Canary Wharf, London, E14 5RD or such other offices of the
Partnership or its Affiliates as they may reasonably require in the UK or abroad (Europe, Asia-Pacific or the US). 

  

	2.3	In addition to the Individual Member’s role as described above, the Individual Member shall also hold the position of President of BGC Partners, Inc. (“BGCP”) or such other capacity as the Partnership may
reasonably require. The Individual Member shall report directly to the Chairman. For the purposes of this clause 2.3, “Chairman” shall mean the Chairman and/or Chief Executive Officer of BGCP. 

  
 3 

	2.4	The Individual Member shall accept (if offered) appointment as a statutory Director of the Partnership or any Affiliate and resign any such appointment if requested by the Board without any claim for damages or
compensation. 

  

	2.5	In the event that the Individual Member refuses to comply with the terms of clause 2.4 within a reasonable period of being requested to do so, he hereby irrevocably appoints the Partnership to be his attorney to execute
and do any such instrument or thing and generally to use his name for the purposes of giving the Partnership or an Affiliate or their nominee the full benefit of clause 2.4. 

 

	2.6	The Individual Member shall devote the whole of his time and attention, endeavours and abilities to promoting the interests and reputation of the Partnership and (i) he shall not engage in any activity which may be
or may become in the reasonable opinion of the Chairman harmful to or contrary to the interests of the Partnership or any Affiliate, (ii) he shall well and faithfully serve the Partnership, (iii) he shall maintain the highest standards of
integrity, honesty and fair dealing in his work for the Partnership. 

  

	3.	PROFIT ALLOCATION AND ADVANCE DRAWINGS: 

  

	    	Advance Drawings 

  

	3.1	Subject to clause 3.3, the Individual Member’s Allocated Monthly Advance Drawings will be: US$83,333.33. The Individual Member’s Allocated Monthly Advance Drawings will be payable monthly in arrears on or
about the 21st day of each month directly into his nominated bank account or building society account. The Individual Member’s Allocated Monthly Advance Drawings will be inclusive of any
directors fees payable under the articles of association or equivalent of the Partnership or any Affiliate. The Individual Member’s Allocated Monthly Advance Drawings shall be reviewed by the BGCP Compensation Committee annually. The BGCP
Compensation Committee shall be under no obligation to increase the Individual Member’s Allocated Monthly Advance Drawings following such review. There will be no review of the Individual Member’s Allocated Monthly Advance Drawings after
notice has been given by either party to terminate the Individual Member’s Membership pursuant to the terms of this Deed or the Partnership Deed. 

  

	    	In accordance with the Partnership Deed, the Partnership will retain from Allocated Monthly Advance Drawings amounts on account of income tax and national insurance contributions. 

 

	    	Profit Allocation 

  

	3.2	The Individual Member will be entitled to his annualised Allocated Monthly Advance Drawings under clause 8.3 of the Partnership Deed per Financial Period of the Partnership and such further allocation of profit as the
BGC Compensation Committee, through the Board, may determine in accordance with subparagraph 3.3 below (together the “Profit Allocation”). All payments of Profit Allocation shall be made in accordance with the Partnership Deed and subject
to the availability of sufficient Partnership profits. The Individual Member’s allocations of income and capital profits and losses shall be amended under Clause 8.5 of the Partnership Deed in the event only that any such amendments are made
also (on a pro rata temporis basis where appropriate) to every other Individual Member of the Partnership (as defined in the Partnership Deed) and Clause 8.5 of the Partnership Deed shall be deemed amended accordingly. 

 

	3.3	 Subject to the satisfactory achievement by the Individual Member of such performance goals as may be established
by the BGCP Compensation Committee in its absolute discretion from time to time and sections 4.2 and 8.3 of this Deed, the Partnership shall 

  
 4 

	 	
pay the Individual Member a target allocation of profit for each Financial Period during the term of this Deed in the amount of 300% of annualised Allocated Monthly Advance Drawings, subject
always to clause 4 below. The Individual Member will not be entitled to any sums pursuant to this clause 3.3 if, on the date allotted for any payment, the Individual Member is in fundamental breach of any provision of this Deed or any provision of
the Partnership Deed (whether or not the Partnership has accepted such breach) other than if prior to the date of payment the Individual Member’s Membership has been terminated in circumstances that amount to a fundamental breach of contract by
the Partnership as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. 

  

	3.4	The relevant period for allocations under this Deed is the Financial Period of the Partnership or such other twelve month period as shall be determined by the Partnership in accordance with its then current practices
and accounting policies but in each case the Partnership currently intends for any allocation of profit made pursuant to clause 3.3 to be made by January 30 following the Partnership’s Financial Period but agrees that it shall be made no
later than 60 days after the end of the Partnership’s Financial Period. 

  

	3.5	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Deed or the Partnership Deed, a proportion of the Individual Member’s profit allocation under clause 3.3 in any Financial Period of the Partnership may as determined in
the sole discretion of the BGCP Compensation Committee, through the Board, be paid not in cash but as a contingent non-cash grant, subject to the terms of the grant document(s) under which such non-cash grant was provided, including any vesting and
cancellation provisions and restrictive covenants contained therein provided always that the first US$1,000,000 of any allocation of profit the Individual Member becomes entitled to pursuant to clause 3.3 of this Deed shall be comprised of
cash. 

  

	3.6	The Individual Member acknowledges and agrees that the type of contingent non-cash award in clause 3.5 above may be in the form of LPUs or other such award type as determined by the Partnership in its discretion, and
any grant to be awarded to him thereafter may be in the form of LPUs or other such award type as determined by the Partnership in its discretion. The Individual Member further acknowledges and agrees that the value of an LPU or other unit shall be
deemed to be the result of the number of units granted multiplied by the closing price of BGCP Class A common stock on the date of final determination of such award, that an LPU or other unit has no Post-Termination Amount, and that an award of
an LPU or other unit satisfies any obligation the Partnership may have with respect to clause 3.5. Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring the Partnership to procure the grant of any particular type of contingent non-cash grant award from
time to time or prevents the Partnership from procuring the grant of any particular type of contingent non-cash grant award from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, any payment, award, benefit, or loan of money or property (including without
limitation distributions in respect of such award and the application of any distributions) (each an “Award”) pursuant to this Deed or otherwise, and whether provided by the Partnership or an Affiliate or an associated entity, may be made
in such currency, using such currency exchange rates and on such terms, as shall be determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Partnership. Where the Partnership procures that any such Award is provided to the Individual Member by an
Affiliate or an associated entity, the Individual Member agrees that the Partnership shall be entitled to treat such Award as being in satisfaction of any of its own obligations to the Individual Member, including but not limited to clause 3.5 of
this Deed.

	4	SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO ILLNESS/INJURY AND TO DEATH: 

  

	    	Illness/Injury (pro rata payments and outstanding stock to vest) 

  

	4.1	In the event that the Individual Member is not, in the reasonable opinion of the Partnership, physically or mentally fit to perform his duties, his Membership may be terminated only on the following basis: Before
terminating the Individual Member’s Membership under this clause 4.1, the Partnership will consult with the Individual Member and obtain a medical opinion at the Partnership’s reasonable discretion. Without prejudice to the foregoing, if
the Individual Member cannot work or perform his duties because he is ill or injured for more than 180 days in any period of 12 months, the Partnership may terminate his Membership upon 30 days’ written notice in which event the provisions of
Clause 4.2 shall apply. In addition, in the event the Individual Member cannot work or perform his duties because he is ill or injured for more than 30 days in any period of 12 months, any allocation of profit to which he was entitled under clause
3.3 of this Deed (but not clause 3.1 above) shall be prorated based on the number of days that he was unable to work or perform his duties. 

  

	4.2	Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement, in the event that the Individual Member’s Membership is terminated under clause 4.1, he shall receive an allocation of profit under clause 3.3 for the
proportion of the Financial Period up until the date of termination (in addition to any sum due under clauses 3.1 and/or 8.9 of this agreement). Such allocation of profit under clause 3.3 shall be calculated on a pro rata basis based on the number
of days the Individual Member worked during the Financial Period (which period shall be calculated on the basis of the allocation of profit the Individual Member would otherwise be due under clause 3.3). The allocation of profit is subject to
satisfaction of the applicable performance targets established by the BGCP Compensation Committee and shall be made at the same time as any allocation of profit due under clause 3.3 would have been made but for the termination of the Individual
Member’s Membership. 

  

	    	Death 

  

	4.3	Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement, in the event of the Individual Member’s death, in addition to any other sums then due under clause 3.1 or otherwise, a payment shall be made to his estate of
an allocation of profit under clause 3.3, which allocation shall be calculated on a pro rata temporis basis for the proportion of the Financial Period served up until the date of his death. Such allocation of profit under clause 3.3 shall be based
upon the allocation of profit the Individual Member would otherwise be due but for his death (under clause 3.3). The payment shall be made at the same time as any allocation of profit due under clause 3.3 would have been made but for the death of
the Individual Member excluding the fact that the Individual Member shall have died before completion of the relevant financial year. In relation to the satisfactory achievement by the Individual Member of such performance goals as may have been
established by the BGCP Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) in relation to the relevant Financial Year the LLP shall undertakes to procure that the Committee shall in good faith consider the proportion of the Financial Year served and
that any decision falling to the Committee under clause 3.3 above be based upon whether or not, and if not the extent to which, the Member might reasonably be expected to have satisfactorily achieved the relevant financial targets had he not died
prior to the end of that financial year when considering the appropriate sum to award under clause 3.3 and that they shall otherwise exclude from consideration the Member’s inability to conclude the Financial Year. Any such allocation of profit
under clause 3.3 shall be paid fully in cash. 

  

	5.	BENEFITS: 

  

	    	The Partnership may provide benefits such as health insurance and permanent health insurance. The provision of such benefits is subject to the terms and rules of such benefit schemes prevailing from time to time. In
particular (but without limitation) the Individual Member must provide full co-operation in connection with any claim made on his/her behalf under such benefits and is at all times responsible for providing any medical evidence that may be required
by the insurers. Should the insurers refuse a claim, the Partnership will be under no further obligation to pay any remuneration or provide other benefits to the relevant Individual Member and the Individual Member expressly waives any express or
implied term to the contrary. The Partnership reserves the right to vary, and/or replace any health insurance and/or permanent health insurance benefits from time to time at its absolute discretion. 

  
 6 

	6.	PENSIONS: 

  

	    	There is no pension offered by the Partnership. 

  

	7.	CHANGE OF CONTROL: 

  

	7.1	If there is a Change of Control of the Partnership at any time during the Initial Period (or Renewal Period as applicable), the Partnership or the individual or entity which acquires control of the Partnership (the
“Continuing Company”) will be required within 120 days of the Change of Control to elect by notice in writing to the Individual Member either (i) to continue his Membership and extend the term of his Membership under this Deed for a
period of three years from the date the Change of Control took effect (if the remaining term of this Deed as of such date is less than three years) or (ii) to terminate his Membership forthwith. 

 

	7.2	If the Continuing Company opts to extend the term of the Individual Member’s Membership under this Deed then he shall receive within thirty (30) days of its election to extend the term an amount equal to his
aggregate Profit Allocation under this Deed for the most recent full Financial Period (the “Aggregate Profit Allocation Amount”) in addition to any other profit allocation that he may be entitled to under this Deed. In addition, if as of
the second anniversary of the Change of Control the Individual Member is still engaged by the Continuing Company (or if the Individual Member is not engaged on such second anniversary date solely as a result of termination by the Continuing Company
in circumstances that amount to a fundamental breach of contract by the Continuing Company as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) and has not materially breached this Deed, he shall receive an additional payment of the Aggregate Profit
Allocation Amount within thirty (30) days of such second anniversary. 

  

	7.3	If the Continuing Company elects to terminate the Individual Member’s membership under clause 7.1 above, he will be entitled to receive within thirty (30) days of such election two times his Aggregate Profit
Allocation Amount under this Deed for the most recent full Financial Period in full and final settlement of all and any claims that he may have against the Partnership, the Continuing Company and/or any Affiliate pursuant to his Membership under
this Deed and/or its termination. 

  

	7.4	Any payment under this clause 7 shall be made in cash and non-cash consideration in the same proportions as the Aggregate Profit Allocation Amount, provided that to the extent any non-cash grant or award contains
vesting or any analogous provisions based on continued engagement by the Continuing Company, such provisions shall not extend beyond the then remaining term of this Deed, and provided, further, that in the event the Individual Member fails to
satisfy such vesting conditions solely as a result of termination by the Continuing Company in circumstances that amount to a fundamental breach of contract by the Continuing Company as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, such non-cash
grant or award shall vest immediately. 

  

	7.5	In each case, unless otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, all of the Individual Member’s stock options, restricted stock units, and other awards based on shares of BGC Partners, Inc.’s
Class A Common Stock shall vest in full and become immediately exercisable, and all partnership units in BGC Holdings, L.P., including founding partner units, REUs, PSUs, PSIs, LPUs and any other units he may hold, shall, if applicable, vest in
full and be granted immediately exchangeable exchange rights for shares of BGC Partners, Inc.’s Class A Common Stock (including any such awards or units issued to the Individual Member in connection with or related to a Change of Control).
The Individual Member will also continue to receive the benefits he is entitled to on the date his membership terminates for two years from such date and a pro rata Profit Allocation for the year of termination. 

  
 7 

	7.6	For purposes of this Deed, a “Change of Control of the Partnership” shall occur in the event that and on the date that BGCP is no longer controlled by Cantor Fitzgerald, L.P. or a person or entity controlled
by, controlling or under common control with Cantor Fitzgerald, L.P. 

  

	8.	AGREED AND AMENDED TO THE PARTNERSHIP DEED IN RESPECT OF THE INDIVIDUAL MEMBER’S MEMBERSHIP: 

  

	8.1	Clause 14.2(3) shall not apply to the Individual Member and is to be superseded in its entirety by the following: 

  

	    	“Wilful refusal or neglect by the Individual Member to carry out instructions from the board and/or Chairman”. 

  

	    	Clause 14.2.7 shall not apply to the Individual Member. 

  

	8.2	Clause 14.4 and 14.6 of the Partnership Deed shall not apply to the Individual Member and are to be superseded in their entirety by the following: 

 

	    	“14.4 Suspension 

 In circumstances where the Board considers it reasonable (including but
not limited to investigating any disciplinary matter against the Individual Member) it reserves the right at its sole discretion, to require the Individual Member to remain at home (“Suspension”) for no more than 12 months in aggregate or
assign to him such other duties consistent with his abilities in addition to or instead of the duties contained in this Deed of Adherence and the Partnership Deed. If any Suspension takes place solely as a result of a bona fide disciplinary
investigation the period of such Suspension shall not exceed 3 months subject always to the Individual Member’s reasonable cooperation in connection with such investigation. During any period of Suspension the Individual Member shall continue
to receive his Allocated Monthly Advance Drawings and, save to the extent varied by clause 8.2 below, such further profit allocation that would otherwise have been due under Clause 3 above but for such Suspension. 

 

	    	14.6 Consequences of Removal 

 In the event that an Individual Member gives notice to terminate
or withdraw from Membership or otherwise seeks to leave the Partnership, the Board may, in its discretion, at any time require an Individual Member to remain at home and/or be under no obligation to assign any duties or provide any work for him or
transfer the Individual Member to a different product area (“Garden Leave”). The terms applicable to the Individual Member during any period of Suspension or Garden Leave shall include the provisions of clause 14.5 of the Deed save to the
extent varied by instructions given under this clause 14.6. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, during any period of Garden Leave an Individual
Member shall continue to receive his Allocated Monthly Advance Drawings and, save to the extent varied by Clause 8.3 below, such further profit allocation that would otherwise have been due under Clause 3 above but for such Garden Leave.” 

  
 8 

	8.3	During any period of Garden Leave the Individual Member is required to serve under clause 14.6 of the Partnership Deed the Individual Member will receive an allocation of profit under clause 3.3 in respect of that year
in the amount of US$1,000,000 (without prejudice to any allocation of profit under clause 3.3 of this Deed which was due to be paid in respect of any prior Financial Period). 

 

	8.4	Clause 15.4 of the Partnership Deed shall not apply to the Individual Member and is to be superseded in its entirety by the following: 

 

	    	“15.4 Profit Allocation 

  

	    	In calculating the profits of the Partnership for the purposes of this clause there shall only be included the fees and income due and payable to the Partnership on or before the Succession Date and, accordingly, no
profits shall be deemed to have accrued in respect of any fees or allocations which are due and payable after the Succession Date. Any profit allocation due, together with any amount standing to the credit of the Outgoing Member’s
Distribution Account, shall be allocated to the Outgoing Member as at the end of the relevant Financial Period in the normal course (and so the Member shall remain a Member to the extent necessary for these purposes only and with no rights other
than under this clause until the end of the relevant Financial Period, and his rights as a Member shall be limited to his rights under this clause only and in each case his obligations limited to those that exist on or
after the Succession Date), but the Outgoing Member shall be entitled to receive amounts equal to his Allocated Monthly Advance Drawings and any target allocation of profit pursuant to clause 3.3 of his Deed of Adherence above, plus
amounts standing to the credit of his Distribution Account plus any other amounts owed to him less any deductions within 30 days of the completion of the Partnership Statement prepared pursuant to clause 15.3.” 

 

	8.5	Clause 16.1 (A), (D) and (M) of the Partnership Deed shall not apply to the Individual Member and are to be superseded in their entirety by the following: 

 

	    	“16.1 

  

	 	(A)	The Individual Member covenants to use his best endeavours to promote and develop the Business and to act in the best interests of the Partnership and its Affiliates at all times. 

 

	 	(D)	The Individual Member covenants to devote the whole of his working time to the Business of the Partnership or its Affiliates, except during holiday leave and absence due to sickness (each as provided for in clause 17).
Notwithstanding the Individual Member’s interest in an Affiliate, he further covenants not to have an interest in any other entity, business, or enterprise (whether as an employee, contractor, partner, consultant, agent or otherwise) without
the written consent of the Chairman, save for investment purposes of only 1% or less of outstanding securities of any corporation listed on a recognised stock exchange or traded in the over the counter markets. 

 

	 	(M)	The Individual Member will not deliberately conceal or falsely deny the existence of any details with respect to any offer or approach to take up employment, partnership or enter into another business relationship with
a competitor of the Partnership (or its Affiliates). 

  

	 	    	Should the Individual Member decide to accept such an offer he must provide details of the terms of his Deed of Adherence (obscuring the remuneration) and clause 16.3 of the Partnership Deed to the competitor and notify
the Chairman thereof in writing as soon as reasonably practicable. 

  
 9 

	 	    	The Individual Member further covenants that if he becomes aware of any Member or employee of the Partnership or its Affiliates being so approached he will not deliberately conceal or falsely deny the existence of or
any details with respect to such an approach.” 

  

	    	Clauses 16.1 (J), (K) and (L) of the Partnership Deed shall not apply to the Individual Member. 

  

	8.6	Clause 16.3(A) and 16.3(B) of the Partnership Deed shall not apply to the Individual Member and are to be superseded in their entirety with the following: 

 

	    	“16.3 

  

	 	(A)	The Individual Member undertakes that without the written prior consent of the Board and whether alone or with others, directly or indirectly for his own benefit or the benefit of any person or organisation that he will
not during the period of his Membership or for a period of two (2) years after its termination: 

  

	 	(1)	solicit or entice away, deal or carry on Restricted Business with, or transact Restricted Business with any client or counterparty of the Partnership or any Affiliate (whether a company or an individual).

  

	 	(2)	participate in, engage the services of, render services to or become interested in (as owner, stockholder, partner, lender or other investor, director, officer, employee, consultant or otherwise) any business activity
that is in competition with the Restricted Business with which he has, at any time during the two (2) years prior to the Succession Date, been actively involved, or agree, or enter into an option to agree (whether for the present or the future)
to do any of the forgoing. 

  

	 	(3)	“Restricted Business” shall mean the business or any part of the business and which in either or both case(s): 

  

	 	(i)	is carried on by the Partnership or any of its Affiliates at the Succession Date; 

  

	 	(ii)	was carried on by the Partnership or any of its Affiliates at any time during the Individual Member’s Membership or, where the relevant provision would apply after the Succession Date, any time during the two
(2) years immediately preceding the Succession Date; or 

  

	 	(iii)	is to the Individual Member’s knowledge to be carried on by Partnership or any of its Affiliates at any time during the two (2) years immediately following the Succession Date. 

 

	    	and which the Individual Member was materially concerned with/worked for or had management responsibility for (or had substantial confidential information regarding) in either case at any time during his Membership or,
where the relevant provision would apply after the Succession Date, any time during the period of two (2) years immediately prior to the date of its termination. 

 

	 	(B)	 The Individual Member covenants to the Partnership that without the written prior consent of the Board and
whether alone or with others, directly or indirectly for his own benefit or the benefit of any person or organisation he shall not, during the term of Membership, and for a period of two (2) years after its termination, offer to employ or enter
into partnership, induce or attempt to induce any individual to whom this paragraph applies to cease Membership, leave the employment of or to 

  
 10 

	 	
discontinue the supply of his/her services to the Partnership or any Affiliate without the Partnership’s prior written consent (whether or not such action would result in a breach of
contract by such individual) nor shall he/she encourage, counsel or procure that individual to do so. This clause shall apply to any individual employed by (or provided services to the Partnership) whom the Individual Member has managed or has or
had material and/or regular dealings with during the two (2) years prior to the Succession Date and who is employed by or has provided services to the Partnership or any Affiliate in a senior or managerial capacity or in any technical, IT,

 6 

	 	6.1.4.	any employment related claim or any claims based on employee, partner, agent or worker status or otherwise brought by the Consultant or any person performing the Services; and

	6.5.	The Consultant shall ensure that he is adequately insured in respect of business travel both in the United Kingdom and abroad regardless of whether the Client arranges travel details such as flight and hotel bookings
for the Consultant. The Consultant will supply to the Client, if it so requests, a copy of any such insurance policies and evidence that premiums have been paid. If the Consultant is required to travel abroad in the course of the Engagement, the
Consultant shall also be responsible for all necessary inoculations and immigration requirements.

renewed or be changed in any material way. 

  

	7.	Confidential Information 

  

	7.1.	The Consultant acknowledges that in the course of the Engagement he will have access to Confidential Information. The Consultant has therefore agreed to accept the restrictions in this clause 7.

detriment or prejudice of the Client, any Affiliate, or any Customer, other clients or any Supplier.

	7.4.	The Consultant shall not be restrained from disclosing any Confidential Information which the Consultant is authorised to disclose in the proper performance of the Services or which is or comes into the public domain
(other than as a result of unauthorised disclosure by the Consultant) or is ordered to be disclosed by a court of competent jurisdiction, a regulatory authority or otherwise required to be disclosed by law. 

 

	7.5.	 If the Consultant is required by law to disclose any Confidential Information, it will promptly notify the
Client, in order to permit the Client to seek a protective order or take other appropriate action. The Consultant will cooperate in the Client’s efforts to obtain a 

  
 7 

	 	
protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information. If, in the absence of a protective order, the Consultant is, in the
written opinion of its legal adviser addressed to the Client, compelled as a matter of law to disclose the Confidential Information, the Consultant may disclose to the party compelling disclosure only that part of the Confidential Information
required by law to be disclosed. 

  

	7.6.	The Consultant shall use best endeavours to safeguard Confidential Information from unauthorised disclosure. The Consultant will promptly notify the Client in writing if any information comes to its attention, which
information may indicate there was or is likely to be a loss of confidentiality of any portion of the Confidential Information. The Consultant shall use its best endeavours to retrieve the lost or wrongfully disclosed Confidential Information and to
prevent further unauthorised disclosure or loss of any Confidential Information.

	 	8.4.1.	never to transfer or assign the Works, the Inventions or any Intellectual Property Rights in the Works or the Inventions, to any third party, 

 

	 	8.4.2.	not to contest the Client’s exclusive, complete and unrestricted ownership in and to the Works and the Inventions (including all Intellectual Property Rights therein), or claim adverse rights therein;

  

	 	8.4.3.	that he has not and will not give permission to any third party to use any of the Works or the Inventions, nor any of the Intellectual Property Rights in the Works or the Inventions; 

 

	 	8.4.4.	that he is unaware of any use by any third party of any of the Works or Intellectual Property Rights in the Works; and 

  

	 	8.4.5.	that the use of the Works or the Intellectual Property Rights in the Works by the Client will not infringe the rights of any third party. 

 

	8.5.	The Consultant hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives in favour of the Client any moral rights to which he is now or may at any future time be entitled under the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or any
similar provisions of law in any jurisdiction, including (without limitation) the right to be identified, the right of integrity and the right against false attribution, and agrees not to institute, support, maintain or permit any action or claim to

	8.6.	The Consultant undertakes to execute all documents, make all applications, give all assistance and do all acts and things, at any time during or after the Engagement, as may, in the opinion of the Client, be necessary
or desirable to vest the Intellectual Property Rights in, and register or obtain patents or registered designs in, the name of the Client and to defend the Client against claims that works embodying Intellectual Property Rights or Inventions
infringe third party rights, and otherwise to protect and maintain the Intellectual property Rights in the Works and the Inventions. 

  

	8.7.	The Consultant hereby irrevocably appoints the Client (which may delegate its powers to any director of the Client) to be his attorney in his name and on his behalf to execute all deeds and documents, use the
Consultant’s name and do all things as may be required or desirable at any time (whether during or after the Engagement) to give full effect to the provisions of this clause for the benefit of the Client or its nominee and the Consultant agrees
immediately on request of the Client to ratify all such deeds and documents executed in pursuance of this power. A certificate in writing, signed by any director or the secretary of the Client, that any instrument or act falls within the authority
conferred by this Agreement shall be conclusive evidence that such is the case so far as any third party is concerned. 

  

	8.8.	Upon the termination of the Engagement, the Consultant shall immediately deliver to the Client in understandable and organised form, all Works, Inventions and works-in-progress, and shall, at no extra charge, be
available to, and cooperate with, the Client’s designees in connection with the transition of any Works or Inventions.

the protection of its workers, clients/customers and business, the Client reserves the right to use surveillance equipment and to monitor, intercept, review and access telephone log, security pass entry and exit data, internet usage, voicemail,
e-mail and other communication facilities provided by the Client. The Client will use this right of access reasonably but communications and activities on the Client’s equipment or premises cannot be presumed to be private. 

 

	10.	Protection of the Client’s Interests 

  

	10.1.	The Consultant acknowledges that in the course of providing the Services the Consultant is likely to obtain the Client’s and Affiliates’ Confidential Information and personal knowledge of and influence over
the Client’s or Affiliates’ clients, customers, suppliers and staff. Accordingly the Consultant agrees to accept the restrictions in this clause. 

  
 10 

	10.2.	The Consultant will not at any time during the Engagement and for a period of twenty-four (24) months after its termination offer to employ or engage or otherwise solicit or endeavour to entice away from the Client
or any Affiliate, or interfere with the Client or any Affiliate’s relationship with, any Restricted Person. 

  

	10.3.	The Consultant will not at any time during the Engagement and for a period of twenty-four (24) months after its termination: 

  

	 	10.3.1.	in competition with the Restricted Business, deal, carry on business with, transact business with, or seek to procure orders from, any Customer; 

 

	 	10.3.2.	in competition with the Restricted Business solicit or endeavour to entice away from the Client or any Affiliate, or interfere with the Client or an Affiliate’s relationship with any Customer or Supplier;

  

	 	10.3.3.	render services to or become interested in (as owner, stockholder, partner, lender or other investor, director, officer, employee, consultant or otherwise) any business activity that is in competition with the
Restricted Business (save that it may acquire or own, by way of investment only, less than 1% of the outstanding securities of any class of any corporation that is listed on a recognised stock exchange or traded in the over-the-counter market).

  

	10.4.	The Consultant acknowledges that: 

  

	 	10.4.1.	the restrictions set out above are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the legitimate interests of the Client and any Affiliates and that, having regard to those interests, these restrictions do not work
unreasonably on the Consultant; 

  

	 	10.4.2.	the restrictions shall apply in relation to all Customers, other clients and Suppliers in respect of whom they are expressed to apply notwithstanding that such Customers, other clients and Suppliers may have been
introduced to the Client or any Affiliate by the Consultant (or any person under its control) before or during the Engagement; and 

  

	 	10.4.3.	any and all of the Consultant’s relationships from time to time with Customers, other clients and Suppliers are the property of the Client and/or its Affiliate and the Consultant has no interest, right or
entitlement to maintain particular relationships or accounts with any such person. 

  

	10.5.	The obligations imposed on the Consultant by this Clause 10 extend to the Consultant not only on his own account but also if he acts on behalf of or in conjunction with any other firm, company, partnership, business
entity or other person and shall apply whether the Consultant or such party act directly or indirectly. 

  

	10.6.	The restrictions entered into by the Consultant in this Clause 10 are given to the Client for itself and as trustee for each and any Affiliate. In accordance with the Contracts (Rights and Third Parties) Act 1999, any
Affiliate may rely upon and enforce the terms of this Clause 10 against the Consultant. 

  

	11.	Termination 

  

	11.1.	As further set forth in Clause 2.2., the Client may terminate this Engagement at any time in its sole discretion upon written notice to the Consultant, including but not limited to any time prior to or subsequent to the
Start Date. 

  
 11 

	11.2.	The Consultant agrees that, on the termination of the Engagement (irrespective of the time, manner or cause of the termination) it will: 

 

	 	11.2.1.	immediately deliver up to the Client any Works, Inventions or Confidential Information in its possession, custody or control; 

  

	 	11.2.2.	return to the Client any property belonging to the Client or any of its Affiliates or their Customers, other clients or Suppliers in its possession, custody or control including, without limitation, all documents,
books, materials, records, correspondence, security passes, car, computer, credit cards, telephone, keys, documents (whether confidential or not); 

  

	 	11.2.3.	advise the Client of the existence of any Works, Inventions, Confidential Information or any other information relating to the business of the Client or any Affiliate stored on any magnetic or electronic media or memory
under its control outside the premises of the Client or an Affiliate, and take all reasonable steps to permanently delete such material at the request of the Client or an Affiliate; and 

 

	 	11.2.4.	provide a signed statement that it has complied fully with its obligations under this clause. 

  

	11.3.	The rights of the Client under this clause are without prejudice to any other rights that it might have at law to terminate the Engagement or to accept any breach of this Agreement on the part of the Consultant as
having brought the Agreement to an end. Any delay by the Client in exercising its rights to terminate shall not constitute a waiver of these rights. 

  

	12.	Notices 

  

	12.1.	Any notices given under this Agreement must be given in writing, and delivered by hand or by pre-paid first class post or other next working day delivery service, to the addresses of the parties set out below, unless

 12 

	14.	General 

  

	14.1.	This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes any previous written or oral agreement between the parties in relation to the matters dealt with in it. The Consultant acknowledges that
he has not been induced to enter into this Agreement by any representation, warranty or undertaking not expressly incorporated into it. The Consultant agrees and acknowledge that his only rights and remedies in relation to any representation,
warranty or undertaking made or given in connection with this Agreement (unless such representation, warranty or undertaking was made fraudulently) will be for breach of the terms of this Agreement, to the exclusion of all other rights and remedies
(including those in tort or arising under statute). 

  

	14.2.	This Agreement constitutes a contract between the Client and the Consultant save that it shall not be binding and enforceable unless or until executed by a duly authorised representative of the Client.

  

	14.3.	This Agreement may only be modified by the written agreement of both the Consultant and a duly authorised signatory of the Client. 

  

	14.4.	This Agreement may be entered into in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Any party may enter into this Agreement by signing any such counterpart.

  

	14.5.	No party’s rights or powers under this Agreement will be affected if one party delays in enforcing any provision of this Agreement or one party grants time to the other party to remedy any breach of this Agreement
by that party. 

  

	14.6.	If a party agrees to waive its rights under a provision of this Agreement, that waiver will only be effective if it is in writing and signed by or on behalf of the Consultant or, in respect of the Client, a duly
authorised signatory. A party’s agreement to waive any breach of any term or condition of this Agreement will not be regarded as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same term or condition or a different term or condition unless expressly
stated. 

  

	14.7.	Clauses 4.4, 5.3, 6.1, 7 to 10, and 12 to 14 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall continue to bind the parties with full force and effect. 

 

	14.8.	In the event that any of the terms, conditions or provisions contained in this Agreement shall be determined invalid unlawful or unenforceable to any extent such term condition or provision shall be severed from the
remaining terms conditions and provisions which shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law. 

  

	14.9.	The Client may assign this Agreement to a creditworthy Affiliate in whole or in part, and if the Client shall choose to do so, the Consultant shall have no claim against the Client in connection with such assignment.

  

	14.10.	This Agreement and any dispute or claims arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with
the laws of England and Wales. Each of the parties submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts as regards any claim or matter arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or its subject matter or formation (including
non-contractual disputes or claims).
