unless incapacitated by ill health or in some other way.

	 	(d)	 	You agree that you will not during your employment with the

duties and responsibilities that are specified in part in the Companies Act and in part in
the relevant Articles of Association. Such obligations should not be confused with the
terms of your employment with the company. The responsibilities which derive from holding
office as a company director are separate from the terms and conditions under which staff,
senior or otherwise, serve as employees. All directors have a duty to declare their other
directorships, relevant shareholdings, and interest in material contracts. Any member of
staff who is appointed to the board of a company and wishes to know in greater detail about
this or the other legal obligations which are involved should contact the Company’s
Secretary.
	 
	11.	 	Indemnity
	 
	 	 	For the sake of good order, it is noted that Article 116 of the Articles of Association of
the company provides that, in normal circumstances, every director of the company shall be
entitled to be indemnified by the company in respect of liabilities incurred in the proper
execution of their duties. Any director who requires more information on Article 116 should
contact the Company Secretary.
	 
	12.	 	Termination of Contract and Suspension

	 	(a)	 	on reaching your 65th birthday, unless otherwise mutually
agreed in writing prior to the operative date; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	if you become prohibited by law from being a director; or
	 
	 	(c)	 	if you resign your office; or
	 
	 	(d)	 	if the office of director of the company held by you is vacated
pursuant to the company’s Articles of Association save if the vacation shall be
caused by illness (including mental disorder) or injury.

-9-

 

	 	12.2	 	Suspension
	 
	 	 	 	In order to investigate any complaint or allegation against you the company is
entitled to suspend you on full pay for so long as may be necessary to carry out a
proper investigation and hold a disciplinary hearing.

	 	12.3	 	Immediate dismissal
	 
	 	 	 	The company may by notice terminate this Agreement with immediate effect if you:

written warning) any other serious breach of your obligations under this
contract of employment; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	are guilty of any conduct which in the reasonable opinion of
the Board brings you or the company into disrepute; or
	 
	 	(c)	 	are convicted of any criminal offence (excluding an offence

are not disqualified from driving for any period or sentenced to any
term of imprisonment whether immediate or suspended); or

drugs; or
	 
	 	(e)	 	fail to perform your duties in accordance with the company’s
