The Policy applies to all members of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) who are not employees or officers of the Company or its subsidiaries. Directors who are employees or officers of the Company or its subsidiaries do not receive additional compensation for their service on the Board. All equity- based awards payable under this Policy will be issued pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan or any successor plan.

	Page 4 of 21

application and approvals process by the Company and the insurer and consequently not all benefits will commence from the commencement date of this Agreement.

The Company reserves the right to terminate the Flexible Benefits Programme (“the Programme”) and/or its participation in any of the Programme’s schemes or to substitute another scheme, or alter the benefits available to you under any schemes. If a scheme provider refuses for any reason (whether under its own interpretation of the terms of the relevant scheme, plan or policy or otherwise) to provide any relevant benefit to you under the applicable scheme, the Company shall not be liable to provide, or compensate for the loss of, such benefit.

Under the Programme you will also be entitled to participate in the Company’s group personal pension plan, subject to satisfying eligibility criteria and subject always to the rules of the scheme as amended from time to time.  A contracting out certificate is not in place.

In the event that you believe that additional hours of flight time are required in any given year to discharge your duties, you may request such additional hours, which the Salesforce Group may choose to make available in its discretion but will not be unreasonably withheld.

	Page 10 of 21

Subject to the provisions of the Patents Act 1977, all IPR to which this clause applies, shall belong to, vest in and be the absolute sole and unencumbered property of SFDC International Limited without any payment to you for it.

You undertake to notify and disclose to the Company in writing full details of all IPR forthwith upon the production, invention or discovery of the same, and promptly whenever requested by the Company or SFDC International Limited, and in any event upon the termination of your employment with the Company, deliver up to SFDC International Limited all correspondence and other documents, papers and records and all copies thereof in your possession, custody or power relating to any IPR.

With respect to any IPR which is not vested in SFDC International Limited pursuant to paragraph (iii) of this clause or otherwise, you will negotiate in good faith with SFDC International Limited with a view to SFDC International Limited acquiring all your right, title and interest in that IPR and, unless SFDC International Limited has, in writing, declined to negotiate or acquire the IPR, you must not jeopardise the grant of any registration in respect of the IPR by any public or non-confidential disclosure for a period of three months from the date on which full particulars of it are communicated to SFDC International Limited.

You hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive any and all of your moral rights (conferred by Chapter IV of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988) and, to the extent possible, all moral rights in any other jurisdiction, in relation to any IPR which is or becomes owned by SFDC International Limited, except to the extent that you exercise such moral rights at SFDC International Limited’s request and reasonable expense.

You undertake at the expense of SFDC International Limited at any time in the future, to execute all such documents, make such applications, give such assistance and do such acts and things (including procuring third parties to do any of the foregoing) as may in the opinion of SFDC International Limited be necessary or desirable to assign all right, title and interest in the IPR to SFDC International Limited and/or vest legal and beneficial interest in the IPR to SFDC International Limited and/or register any and all of the IPR (including, without limitation, to obtain letters patent) in the name of SFDC International Limited, and otherwise to protect and maintain the IPR.

Your obligations under this clause continue to apply after the Termination Date (whether terminated lawfully or not). Each of those obligations is enforceable

			
	Page 11 of 21

independently of each of the others and its validity is not affected if any of the others is unenforceable to any extent.

Termination & Notice
Subject to the provisions in this Agreement, your employment is terminable by you or the Company on giving six months’ written notice.

The Company reserves the right to terminate your employment without either notice or pay in lieu of notice, if it has reasonable grounds to believe you are guilty of gross misconduct, gross negligence or that you are in material breach of one of the terms of your employment.

You agree that the Company may at its absolute discretion choose to make a payment or payments (which may, at the Company’s absolute discretion, be paid in instalments) representing base salary in lieu of any outstanding period of notice (whether given or received). For the avoidance of doubt, such payment or payments shall be less deductions for tax and NI contributions and shall not include the value of any benefits, bonus/incentive, commission, or holiday entitlement which would have accrued to you had you been employed until the expiry of your notice entitlement.

The Company reserves the right to require you not to attend work and/or not to undertake any or all of your duties of employment during any period of notice (whether given by you or the Company), provided always that the Company shall continue to pay your salary and contractual benefits during this time (“Garden Leave”).  To avoid doubt, during any period of Garden Leave you remain employed by the Company and accordingly remain bound by the terms of this Agreement and continue to owe to the Company a duty of confidentiality, good faith and fidelity and to comply with any reasonable requests the Company may make of you during this period. The Company reserves the right to require you to take any accrued but unused annual leave during any period of Garden Leave.

On termination of your employment for any reason, you will not be entitled to any compensation for the loss of any rights or benefits in relation to any stock option, restricted stock units, bonus or profit-sharing scheme which the Company may operate from time to time.

On the Termination Date, you must:
immediately return to the Company all equipment, correspondence, records, specifications, software, disks, models, notes, reports and other documents or information (on whatever media) and any copies thereof and any other property belonging to the Company or any Associated Company, keys, credit cards, equipment and passes) which are in your possession or under your control; irretrievably delete any information relating to the business of the Company or any Associated Company stored on any form of storage or memory device which is in your possession or under your control whether at or outside of the Company’s or any Associated Company’s premises; and
if so requested by the Company, provide confirmation in writing that you have complied with your obligations under this clause, together with such reasonable evidence of compliance as the Company may request.

Health & Safety
You are required to comply with the Company’s and any applicable Associated Company’s policy and rules relating to health and safety at work, as may be notified to you from time to time.
