may be requested to remain in the UK/Europe for an additional year where business needs
dictate that you remain performing your role. Any extension or early conclusion to your
assignment will be made by mutual agreement and in light of any changing requirements of the
business:
	 
	2.1.1	 	on 3 months’ written notice from either EPAL or E-Pay; or
	 
	2.1.2	 	on the termination of your employment in accordance with the terms of your contract; or
	 
	2.1.3	 	on the termination of the Secondment Agreement between EPAL and E-Pay in accordance with its
terms;
	 
	2.1.4	 	as a necessary consequence of any legal requirement including, but not restricted to, any
requirements under immigration legislation; or

	     1.3	 	any person (as such term is defined at sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the U.S. Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (“the Exchange Act”) shall have become “beneficial owner” (as defined in
Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) directly or indirectly of securities of EWI representing
40% or more (calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) of the aggregate
voting power of EWI’s then outstanding voting securities.
	 
	2.	 	Subject to the terms and conditions of this Schedule 3 and in particular clause 6, in the
event of a Change of Control at any time during your secondment, you will be entitled to
remain either in your seconded position on the terms of this Agreement or, at the election of
the E-Pay or EPAL under this Agreement or the Secondment Agreement (as applicable), in your
position of employment with EPAL, for a cumulative period of an additional three years from
the date of such Change of Control (the “Change Control Date”), at not less than the capacity
you held with EPAL immediately prior to the commencement of your secondment under this
Agreement. During the Three-Year Period, you shall be entitled to a salary at a rate not less
than that paid you at the Control Change Date, at the same intervals. Any termination of your
employment following a Control Change Date will occur in accordance with the terms of this
Schedule 3.
	 
	3.	 	During the Three Year Period, you shall be entitled to participate in each of the following
plans (together, the “Specified Benefits”) in existence, and in accordance with the terms
thereof, at the Control Change Date:

	 	3.1	 	any incentive compensation plans;
	 
	 	3.2	 	any benefit plan and trust fund associated therewith, related to (A) life, health, dental,
disability, or accidental death and dismemberment insurance, (B) employee stock or share
ownership (such as under the EWI ESPP and other stock option plans); and
	 
	 	3.3	 	any other benefit plans hereafter made generally available to employees at your level of
responsibility within EWI.

	4.	 	All outstanding options or restricted stock by you under any stock or share option plan of
the Group shall become immediately vested on the Control Change Date, provided that any
performance based equity awards will be deemed vested as if the middle level of performance
(14% growth) had been met.
	 
	5.	 	You shall receive payment of any amounts to which you are entitled within five business days
of the Control Change Date.
	 
	6.	 	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Schedule 3, at any time after the Control Change
Date, EPAL may terminate your employment for any reason, (the “Termination”),

 

 

PAGE 15

	 	 	but within five days of the termination of your employment, EPAL or a nominee shall pay to
you:
	 
	6.1	 	your salary (as specified at Item 3 of Schedule 1, as varied by EPAL at its discretion from
time to time) (“Salary”) and accrued leave entitlements to the date of the termination of your
employment, and
	 
	6.2	 	a lump sum amount (the “Special Severance Payment”) equal to the product (discounted to the
then present value on the basis of a rate of 7.5% per annum) of your Salary multiplied by the
number of years and any portion thereof remaining in the Three-Year Period (or if the
remaining term in the Three-Year Period after the Termination is less than two years, for two
years — the “Extended Period”);
	 
	7.	 	In the event of a termination of your employment under clause 6 of this Schedule 3, Specified
Benefits to which you are entitled immediately prior to Termination shall continue until the
end of the Three Year Period (or the Extended Period, if applicable); provided that:
	 
	7.1	 	if any plan pursuant to which Specified Benefits are provided immediately prior to
Termination would not permit continued participation by Employee after the termination of your
employment, EPAL or a nominee shall pay to you within five days after the date of the
termination of your employment a lump sum payment equal to the amount of Specified Benefits
you would have received if you had been fully vested an a continuing participant in such plan
to the end of the Three-Year Period or the Extended Period, if applicable; and
	 
	7.2	 	if you obtain new employment following the termination of your employment, then following any
waiting period applicable to participation in any plan of the new employer, you shall continue
to be entitled to receive the Specified Benefits (of equivalent benefits in accordance with
clause 7.1 of this Schedule 3) only to the extent such benefits would exceed those available
to you under comparable plans made available by your new employer (but you shall not be
required to repay any amounts then already received by you).
	 
	8.	 	In the event of a Change of Control, thereafter, for “good reason” (as defined below), you
may, at any time during the Three Year Period, in your sole discretion, on not less than
thirty (30) days’ written notice and effective at the end of such notice period, resign your
employment with EPAL (the “Resignation”). Within five days of your Resignation, EPAL (or a
nominee) shall pay to you your full Salary through to the effective date of your Resignation,
plus a lump sum amount equal to the Special Severance Payment calculated in accordance with
clause 6 of this Schedule 3, except that for purposes of such calculations, all references to
“Termination” shall be deemed to be references to “Resignation”). Upon your Resignation,
Specified Benefits to which you are entitled immediately prior to Resignation shall continue
on the same terms and conditions as provided in clause 7 of this Schedule 3, as applicable in
the event of a termination of your employment by the Company (including equivalent payments
provided in circumstances described at clause 7). For purposes of this Agreement, a “good
reason” is where the employee is entitled at law to treat himself as having been
constructively dismissed by EPAL.
	 
	9.	 	After the Control Change Date, you shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any
payment provided for in this Schedule 3 by seeking other employment or otherwise and except as
expressly set forth herein no such other employment, if obtained, or compensation or benefits
payable in connection therewith shall reduce any amounts or benefits to which you are entitled
under the terms of this Schedule 3, with the exception of circumstances referred to at clause
7 of this Schedule 3.

 

 

PAGE 16

	10.	 	If any dispute should arise under this Agreement after the Control Change Date involving an
effort by you to protect, enforce or secure rights or benefits claimed by you hereunder, EPAL
(or any nominee) shall pay (promptly upon demand by you accompanied by reasonable evidence of
incurrence) all reasonable expenses (including solicitor’s fees) incurred by you in connection
with such dispute, without regard to whether you prevail in such a dispute except that you
shall repay EPAL (or any nominee) any amounts so received if a court having jurisdiction shall
make a final, non-appealable determination that you acted frivolously or in bad faith by
initiating and/or pursuing such a dispute
	 
	11.	 	The rights and obligations of you and EPAL under this Section 3 shall inure to the benefit of
and be binding in each and every respect upon the direct and indirect successors and assigns
of EPAL and yourself, regardless of the manner in which such successors or assigns shall
succeed to the interest of EPAL or yourself hereunder and this Schedule 3 shall not be
terminated by the voluntary or involuntary dissolution by EWI or EPAL or any merger or
consolidation or acquisition involving EWI or EPAL, or upon any transfer of all or
substantially all of EWI’s or EPAL’s assets, or terminated otherwise than in accordance with
its terms. In the event of any such merger or consolidation or transfer of assets, this
Schedule 3 shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the surviving corporation
or the corporation or other person to which such assets shall be transferred.exv10w1
