original, but all the counterparts together will constitute a single agreement.

	2.	DUTIES 

  

	2.1	LCL and you shall use your best endeavours (and will procure that any Substitute will use their best endeavours) to promote the interests of the Company and, unless prevented by ill
health or accident of any LCL personnel, carry out the following Services for the Company with all due care, skill and ability: 

  

	 	(a)	LCL will provide the Company with assistance in relation to the Company’s acquisition of Petroflax SA; 

  

	 	(b)	LCL will also assist the Company by providing assistance in relation to the on target completion of the Company’s strategic plan for its Protective Packaging Europe division
(together the “Services”) 

	2.2	The Company enters into this Agreement on the basis that, unless otherwise agreed, the person providing the Services will be you, Peter Lewis. If you are unable to provide the
Services due to illness or injury you shall notify the Company as soon as reasonably practicable and provide us with such evidence as we may require. 

  

	2.3	LCL may, with the prior written approval of the Company and subject to the following proviso, appoint a suitably qualified and skilled substitute to you to perform the Services on
its behalf (“Substitute”), provided that the Substitute shall be required to enter into direct undertakings with the Company, including with regard to confidentiality. If the Company accepts the Substitute, LCL shall be responsible
for the remuneration of the Substitute. 

  

	2.4	LCL shall ensure that you are available at all times on reasonable notice to provide such assistance or information and reports as the Company may require in connection with matters
relating to the provision of the Services or the business of the Company.

permitted this in writing.

	3.1	LCL shall be paid a single fee of £36,000 excluding VAT, to be payable on or before 31 March 2008. LCL shall submit an invoice to the Company on completion of the

immigration requirements.

	4.	OTHER ACTIVITIES 

  

	4.1	Subject to any applicable restrictive covenants, LCL or you personally or any Substitute may be engaged, employed or concerned in any other business, trade, profession or other
activity which does not place LCL, you or it in a conflict of interest with the Company. However, LCL, you or any Substitute may not be involved in any capacity with a business which does or could compete with the business of the Company as at the
Commencement Date without the prior written consent of the Company. 

  

	5.	CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 

  

	5.1	 LCL shall not (and shall procure that you and any Substitute shall not) use or disclose to any person either during or at any time after its engagement by the
Company any confidential information about the business or affairs of the Company or any of its business contacts, or about any other matters which may come to its knowledge in the course of providing the Services. For the purposes of this clause
