THE COMPANY may vary your core working hours from time to time on reasonable notice.

5.3

You agree that you may work for more than an average of 48 hours a week unless you notify THE COMPANY in writing at the time of signing this Agreement that you do not wish to do so.

6.	REMUNERATION

6.1

Your basic salary is £265,000 per annum payable in 12 equal monthly amounts in arrears (“Base Salary”). Your salary is normally reviewed annually in January. However, there is no right to a review or to an increase. When reviewing salaries THE COMPANY may take into account whatever factors THE COMPANY considers appropriate. These will not necessarily be the same from year to year or as between employees of similar status. Any increase is discretionary. THE COMPANY will not pay any increase (whether notified to you or not) if either party has given the other notice of termination of employment before that increase takes effect.

IMMUNOCORE	Contract of Employment
	Page 5 of 27

6.2

Your salary will accrue from day to day and will be paid by bank credit into your designated bank account unless otherwise agreed on the last working day of the month. Your remuneration will be subject to such deductions in respect of income tax, national insurance contributions and any other deductions as may from time to time be appropriate in terms of UK law.

6.3

You shall be eligible to receive an annual performance bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) with an annual target of 40% (the “Target Percentage”) of your then-current Base Salary (the “Target Bonus”). The Annual Bonus will be based upon the assessment of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Immunocore Holdings Plc (incorporated in England and Wales with company number 13119746), of which THE COMPANY is a wholly owned subsidiary (the “Parent”) (or a committee thereof) of your performance and THE COMPANY’S attainment of targeted goals (as established by the Board or a committee thereof in its sole discretion) over the applicable calendar year. The Annual Bonus, if any, will be subject to applicable payroll deductions and withholdings. No amount of any Annual Bonus is guaranteed at any time, and, except as otherwise stated in Schedule 1, paragraph 3.1, you must be an employee in good standing through 31 December of the year to which the bonus is attributable to be eligible to receive an Annual Bonus and no partial or prorated bonuses will be provided. Unless otherwise stated in Schedule 1, any Annual Bonus, if awarded, will be paid at the same time annual bonuses are generally paid to other similarly-situated employees of THE COMPANY, but no later than March 15 of the year following the year to which such bonus relates, and will be paid in cash or in securities, as determined by the Board (or committee thereof). Any Annual Bonus will be subject to recoupment in accordance with any clawback policy that THE COMPANY is required to adopt pursuant to the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which THE COMPANY’S or any Group Company’s securities are listed or as is otherwise required by applicable law and any clawback policy that THE COMPANY otherwise adopts, to the extent applicable and permissible under applicable law. No recovery of compensation under such a clawback policy will be an event giving rise to Good Reason (as defined in Schedule 1 Paragraph 2.4). Except as otherwise stated in Schedule 1, in the event you leave the employment of THE COMPANY for any reason prior to the date the Annual Bonus is paid, you are not eligible to earn such Annual Bonus, prorated or otherwise.

6.4	THE COMPANY will reimburse all reasonable business expenses as long as they are supported by receipts and reasonably incurred by you in the proper performance of your duties.

6.5	Any payments due from you to THE COMPANY (or to a Group Company) may be deducted from your salary and from any other money due to you from THE COMPANY (or from a Group Company).

6.6

Subject to the approval of the Remuneration Committee of the Parent, effective upon the Parent’s next scheduled grant date following the Commencement Date, you will be granted an option (the “Option”) to purchase 70,000 ordinary shares of Parent (“Shares”). The Option shall be granted pursuant and subject to the Immunocore Holdings Plc 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and other documents issued in connection with the grant (the “Option Documents”), at an exercise price equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of a Share on the date of grant, in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The Option will vest and become exercisable as to ¼ of the Shares under Option on the first anniversary of the Commencement Date and as to 1/12th of the remaining shares under Option quarterly thereafter, subject to your continued employment; the specific terms and conditions of the Option will be as set forth in the Plan and Option Documents and other applicable documents, which you may be required to sign, and the Option shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and the relevant Option Documents.

6.7

You shall be eligible to receive an annual performance based equity award (the “Annual Equity Award”) over Shares with a target Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of 200% of your then-current Base Salary. The Annual Equity Award will be based upon the assessment of the Board (or a committee thereof) of your performance and that of the Parent and its group. Annual Equity Awards (if any) will be granted annually, starting with the Parent’s next scheduled grant date following the Commencement Date. Annual Equity Awards (if any) will be granted pursuant and subject to the Plan and other documents issued in connection with the grant (the “Annual Equity Award Documents”), at an exercise price equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of a Share on the date of grant, in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Annual Equity Awards (if any) will vest and become exercisable over a vesting schedule which shall not materially differ to that applicable to annual equity awards granted to similarly situated executives for that performance period, subject to your continued employment. The specific terms and conditions of Annual Equity Awards will be as set forth in the Plan and Annual Equity Award Documents and other applicable documents, which you may be required to sign, and the Annual Equity Awards shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and the relevant Annual Equity Award Documents. No amount of any Annual Equity Award is guaranteed at any time and you must be an employee in good standing on the applicable grant date to be eligible to receive an Annual Equity Award.

6.8	Without prejudice to your rights pursuant to paragraph 3.1.5 of Schedule 1, you shall have no right to compensation or damages on account of any loss in respect of the Option or any Annual Equity Award where this loss arises (or is claimed to arise), in whole or in part, from:

6.8.1

termination of office or employment with; or

6.8.2

notice to terminate office or employment given by or to,

any Group Company or any former Group Company. This exclusion of liability shall apply however termination of office or employment, or the giving of notice, is caused, and however compensation or damages are claimed.

6.9

You will be eligible to receive a one-off sign-on bonus in the amount of £50,000 (the “Sign-On Bonus”). The Sign-On Bonus is subject to income tax and national insurance deductions and will be processed in the first payroll following the Commencement Date. If you give notice to terminate your employment with the Company for any reason or your employment is terminated by the Company summarily, in either case within 12 months following the Commencement Date, you will be required to repay the Sign-On Bonus to the Company. You agree that the Company is entitled to deduct any such sum which is due from you from your final payments of salary and/or any outstanding payments due to you from the Company.

7.	HOLIDAY ENTITLEMENT AND OTHER LEAVE

7.1

THE COMPANY’s holiday year is the calendar year from 1 January to 31 December. In any calendar year in which you are continuously employed by THE COMPANY, you are entitled to all public holidays in England and Wales plus 25 days paid holiday. If you are required to work on a public holiday, you will be entitled to one day of holiday for each such day worked, which should be taken before the end of the next calendar month. You should arrange to take your full holiday entitlement during each calendar year. There will be no pay in lieu of holidays not taken except in respect of untaken holiday on termination of employment. Further information can be found in THE COMPANY’s Leave Policy.

7.2

Holidays should be taken at times convenient to THE COMPANY and you should give a minimum of one month’s notice; therefore you should note that the provisions of Regulation 15(1) of the Working Time Regulations are varied by this paragraph. On occasion THE COMPANY may exercise its discretion to reduce this notice requirement.

7.3	Mid-year starters and leavers are entitled to be paid for all public holidays which occur during their employment with THE COMPANY, plus a pro rata amount of their full year entitlement based on the proportion of the year for which they are employed.

7.4

If your employment terminates part way through a holiday year THE COMPANY will pay you 1/260 of your Base Salary for each day’s holiday which has accrued for that holiday year but not been taken. If you have exceeded your accrued entitlement, you must repay the appropriate sum (adopting the same calculation set out above). THE COMPANY may deduct any repayment from any sums due to you.

7.5	THE COMPANY follows statutory requirements on maternity and paternity leave and pay; further details are to be found on THE COMPANY’s intranet.

7.6	THE COMPANY follows statutory requirements on time off for family emergencies. Further details are to be found on THE COMPANY’s intranet.

7.7	Study leave may be given by arrangement with your manager and Human Resources when any exams are sat.

7.8	Occasionally you may need to be absent from work due to reasons of public duty. Paid leave of absence for such duties will be at the discretion of your Head of Department; should jury service be required this will be on a paid leave of absence basis.

7.9

Should you be called on to perform jury service, you should keep your manager informed and obtain from the court any payment due by completing the necessary forms. The receipt for any such payment should be sent to THE COMPANY whereupon the balance of your normal salary will be paid for the time absent. Travelling and meal allowances will not be taken into consideration in calculating the balance due.

8.	ABSENCE FROM WORK AND SICK PAY

8.1

If you are unable to report for work for any reason you should notify the person to whom you are responsible by calling them, or if they are unavailable, you should contact a member of the HR department, as early as possible on the first day of absence. You must explain the reason for your absence and give as much information as you can about when you expect to return to work. If you are unable to do this yourself, you should arrange for it to be done on your behalf.

8.2	Where absence lasts more than one day, you must continue to contact THE COMPANY to provide updates every working day or at whatever other intervals THE COMPANY may reasonably request. You should remain contactable whilst on sick leave.

8.3	If you are unable to work because of sickness you should immediately on your return to work complete a self-certification form and hand it to the person to whom you are responsible. If the period of sickness exceeds seven consecutive calendar days you should produce a doctor’s medical certificate.

8.4

Subject to THE COMPANY’s discretion, you may receive Company Sick Pay from the first day of absence providing you comply with the provisions of clauses 8.1 and 8.2 above. THE COMPANY reserves the right to withhold Company Sick Pay where employees fail to comply (excluding any statutory sick pay (“SSP”), if payable).

8.5

If you receive Company Sick Pay, this will only be available for 65 working days at full pay and a further 65 working days at half pay in any rolling period of 12 months (inclusive of any SSP). Once you have exhausted your entitlement, you will have no entitlement to further sick pay until you have returned to work on full duties for a continuous period of two months. For SSP purposes your qualifying days are Monday to Friday.

THE COMPANY will take account of any factors it considers relevant in the circumstances when determining whether to pay Company Sick Pay including:

Your length of service;

The nature of your illness;

Your previous performance.

If THE COMPANY decides not to pay you Company Sick Pay, this will not affect your right to receive SSP if payable. Absence due to sickness has a significant cost implication for THE COMPANY’s business. A high level of periodic absence for minor ill health causes will be of concern to THE COMPANY.

9.	COMPANY PENSION SCHEME AND INSURANCES

9.1	The COMPANY will comply with the employer pension duties in respect of you in accordance with Part 1 of the Pensions Act 2008.

IMMUNOCORE	Contract of Employment
	Page 9 of 27

9.2

The COMPANY pension scheme is a Group Self Invested Personal Pension (SIPP); the scheme is a salary sacrifice one. You must contribute at least 3% of your basic salary but you may contribute more, subject always to the rules of the Scheme and the Inland Revenue limits. THE COMPANY will match your contributions to a maximum limit of 5% of your salary. You consent to THE COMPANY deducting your pension contributions from your salary.

9.3	You are entitled to membership of a scheme providing life assurance of four times basic salary (irrespective of whether you are a member of the pension plan), subject to the limits of the policy in place at the time of any claim.

9.4	THE COMPANY currently operates:

a private medical insurance scheme currently provided by Bupa which will be available to you, your spouse and any children under the age of 24; and

a Group Income Protection Scheme (GIP), under which benefits may be received by THE COMPANY from an insurer and paid to you.

9.5

Benefits under the Schemes referred to in clauses 9.3, 9.4a and 9.4b (“THE SCHEMES”) shall be subject to the rules of THE SCHEMES and the terms of any applicable insurance policy and are conditional on whether the relevant insurer considers you (and any other beneficiaries, as applicable) have satisfied the relevant terms, conditions and requirements of THE SCHEMES. THE COMPANY will pay benefits to you (and any other beneficiaries, as applicable) only to the extent that and for so long as THE COMPANY receives benefits from the relevant insurer for payment to you. THE SCHEMES are also subject to THE COMPANY’s right to alter the cover provided or any term of THE SCHEMES or to cease to provide (without replacement) THE SCHEMES or one or more of them at any time. The replacement, discontinuance or change in terms, conditions or requirements of a scheme may result in the loss of any benefit you may be receiving or about to receive at the time.

9.6

If the relevant insurer refuses or otherwise fails to provide cover or benefits under any of THE SCHEMES, THE COMPANY will pass to the insurer such reasonable representations as you may wish to make in respect of such refusal or failure. However, THE COMPANY will have no duty to take any further steps or to incur expense in relation to such refusal or failure (and, in particular, will have no obligation to obtain medical reports or to take proceedings against any such insurer).

9.7	Whether or not you are in receipt of benefits under the current or any replacement GIP scheme, THE COMPANY may terminate your employment for any reason even if such termination results in you losing any existing or prospective benefits under the GIP scheme.

10.	MEMBERSHIP OF TRADE UNIONS

10.1	Nothing in these Terms and Conditions of Employment detracts from your freedom of choice with regard to membership of a Trade Union or Professional Body.

10.2	No collective agreements affect your terms and conditions of employment.

IMMUNOCORE	Contract of Employment
	Page 10 of 27

11.	PROFESSIONAL FEES

11.1	If THE COMPANY agrees that membership of an appropriate Professional Body is a benefit to THE COMPANY you may claim the membership fee as an expense. Except by special agreement, only one membership fee per year may be claimed.

12.	TERMINATION AND NOTICE PERIOD

12.1

Either party may terminate your employment by giving to the other not less than six months’ notice in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first six months of your employment with THE COMPANY will be a probationary period. THE COMPANY may extend the duration of your probationary period for such period as THE COMPANY considers appropriate. If THE COMPANY considers it appropriate, THE COMPANY may exercise the power to extend on more than one occasion. During the probationary period (including any extended period) either you or THE COMPANY may terminate your employment by giving to the other not less than one month’s notice in writing (which may expire after the end of the probationary period).

12.2

Where notice of termination has been given by either party pursuant to clause 12.1 or if you seek to or indicate an intention to terminate the employment, provided that you continue to be paid and enjoy full contractual benefits until the employment terminates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, THE COMPANY may in its absolute discretion without breaking the terms of this Agreement or giving rise to any claim against THE COMPANY for all or part of the notice period:

exclude you from the premises of THE COMPANY;

require you to carry out specified duties other than those referred to in clause 4.1 or to carry out no duties;

instruct you not to communicate orally or in writing with suppliers, customers, employees, agents or representatives of THE COMPANY, until your employment has terminated.

12.3	If THE COMPANY exercises the right in clause 12.2 you must continue to comply with your implied duties, including those of good faith and fidelity and continue to comply with the express duties set out in this Agreement, except those from which THE COMPANY explicitly releases you.

12.4

Instead of requiring you to work during your notice period (or any remaining part of it), THE COMPANY may at its discretion choose to terminate your employment immediately and, in lieu of any entitlement to notice, pay you a sum equivalent to the basic salary (subject to such deductions for tax and national insurance contributions as may be required) that you would have been paid during your notice period (or the remaining part of it) in monthly instalments over the period equivalent to your notice period (or the remaining part of it) (the “PILON”). THE COMPANY reserves the right to require you to take all, some or none of any outstanding holiday entitlement during your notice period.

IMMUNOCORE	Contract of Employment
	Page 11 of 27

12.5	Without prejudice to the above, the provisions of Schedule 1 govern the amount of compensation, if any, to be provided to you upon termination of employment.

13.	SUMMARY TERMINATION

13.1	THE COMPANY may terminate your employment without notice or payment in lieu of notice in appropriate circumstances, including but not limited to, if:

THE COMPANY reasonably considers that you are guilty of gross misconduct or serious negligence;

THE COMPANY or Group Company reasonably considers that you have materially damaged or risk materially damaging your own or THE COMPANY’s reputation;

you are in breach of any warranty given in this Agreement;

immediately return all items of THE COMPANY’s property which you have in your possession in connection with your employment (including any car, keys, security pass, mobile phone, computer, disks, tapes, memory sticks, business cards, credit cards, documents or copies of documents); and

if you have any document or information belonging to THE COMPANY on a personal computer (which is not to be returned under the above provisions), forward a copy to THE COMPANY and then irretrievably delete the document or information. You will permit THE COMPANY to inspect any such computer on request to ensure such steps have been taken.

14.2	If asked to do so, you must inform THE COMPANY of any computer passwords used by you in the course of your employment or any passwords of which you are otherwise aware.

14.3	THE COMPANY may withhold payment of your final salary or any other payment due or outstanding upon termination of your employment until you have fully complied with your obligations to return property and reveal passwords.

In performing your role and carrying out your responsibilities, you must do your best to ensure that THE COMPANY complies with these principles.

17.4	A key element of the data protection principles is the duty to ensure that data is processed securely and protected against unauthorised or unlawful processing or loss. In particular, you must:

ensure that laptops, memory sticks, phones and other mobile devices are password protected and encrypted. You must not take such devices outside the office without encryption. You must take care of them and keep them secure.

use strong passwords, changing them regularly and not sharing them with unauthorised colleagues.

not access other individuals’ personal data unless in the course of your work.

IMMUNOCORE	Contract of Employment
	Page 16 of 27

You must regularly review THE COMPANY’S intranet site (The Core) to ensure that you understand and follow THE COMPANY’S IT policies.

Data breach - and urgent notification

17.5

If you discover a data breach, you must notify your line manager and the IT Support/Data Protection Officer, which is detailed on THE COMPANY’S intranet (The Core), as soon as possible which should be within one hour of your discovery (unless that is not reasonably practicable). Depending on context, you may then need to provide further information on the circumstances of the breach.

17.6

A data breach occurs where there is destruction, loss, alteration or unauthorised disclosure of or access to personal data, which is being held, stored, transmitted or processed in any way. For example, there is a data breach if THE COMPANY’s servers are hacked or if you lose a laptop or USB stick or send an email to the wrong person by mistake.

17.7	Failure to notify a breach or to provide information as set out above will be treated seriously and disciplinary action may be taken.

17.8	Further information regarding how THE COMPANY handles data breaches is available on THE COMPANY’s intranet.

Why THE COMPANY processes personal data

17.9	For information on the nature of the data THE COMPANY processes, why it processes it, the legal basis for processing and related matters, please refer to THE COMPANY’s Privacy Notice which may be found on THE COMPANY’s intranet. In summary:

THE COMPANY processes personal data relating to you for the purposes of its business including management, administrative, employment and legal purposes.

THE COMPANY monitors its premises and the use of its communication facilities, including using CCTV cameras, monitoring compliance with THE COMPANY’s data and IT policies, and where non-compliance is suspected, looking in a more targeted way.

17.10

The summary above is for information only. THE COMPANY does not, in general, rely on your consent as a legal basis for processing. Agreeing the terms of this Agreement will not constitute your giving consent to THE COMPANY’s processing of your data.

17.11

THE COMPANY reserves the right to amend the policy and protocol documents referred to above from time to time.

SCHEDULE 1 - TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

Either you or THE COMPANY may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without Cause (as defined below). The provisions in this Schedule govern the amount of compensation, if any, to be provided to you upon termination of employment.

1.	Termination by Virtue of your Death or Disability.

1.1

In the event of your death while employed pursuant to this Agreement, all obligations of the parties hereunder and your employment shall terminate immediately, and THE COMPANY shall, pursuant to THE COMPANY’s standard payroll policies and applicable law, pay to your legal representatives the Accrued Obligations (as defined in Paragraph 2.3 below) due to you, but neither you nor your legal representatives will receive the Non-CIC Severance Benefits (as defined below), the CIC Severance Benefits (as defined below), or any other severance compensation or benefit from the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph or in this Agreement shall preclude you from remaining eligible to receive any payments or benefits pursuant to any life assurance or permanent health insurance policy under which you participate, subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such policy and applicable law.

1.2

Subject to applicable law, THE COMPANY shall at all times have the right, upon written notice to you, to terminate this Agreement based on your Disability (as defined below). Termination by THE COMPANY of your employment based on “Disability” shall mean termination because you are unable due to a physical or mental condition to perform the essential functions of your position with or without reasonable adjustments for twelve (12) months in the aggregate during any eighteen (18) month period or based on the written certification by two qualified licensed physicians (one of which shall be selected by you or your guardian) of the likely continuation of such condition for such period. In the event your employment is terminated based on your Disability, you will be entitled to notice as described in clause 12 of this Agreement and the Accrued Obligations due to you, but you will not receive the Non-CIC Severance Benefits, the CIC Severance Benefits, or any other severance compensation or benefit from the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph or in this Agreement shall preclude you from remaining eligible to receive any payments or benefits pursuant to any life assurance or permanent health insurance policy under which you participate, subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such policy and applicable law.

IMMUNOCORE	Contract of Employment

2.	Termination by THE COMPANY or Resignation by you (not in connection with a Change in Control).

2.1

THE COMPANY shall have the right to terminate your employment pursuant to this Paragraph 2 at any time (subject to any applicable cure period stated in Paragraph 2.5) with or without Cause by giving notice as described in clause 12 of this Agreement. Likewise, you can resign from employment with or without Good Reason, by giving notice as described in clause 12 of this Agreement. You hereby agree to comply with the additional notice requirements set forth in Paragraph 2.4 below for any resignation for Good Reason. If you are terminated by THE COMPANY (with or without Cause) or resign from employment with THE COMPANY (with or without Good Reason), then you shall be entitled to the Accrued Obligations (as defined below). In addition, if you are terminated without Cause or resign for Good Reason, in either case, outside of the Change in Control Measurement Period (as defined below) and further provided that you timely execute and allow to become effective a settlement agreement that includes, among other terms, a general release of claims in favour of THE COMPANY and each Group Company (subject to standard carve-outs preserving your rights to accrued benefits and equity), as well as mutual non-disparagement provisions, in a form presented by THE COMPANY and to be negotiated by the parties acting reasonably and in good faith (the “Settlement Agreement”), and subject to Paragraph 2.2 (the date that the general release of claims in the Settlement Agreement becomes effective is referred to as the “Release Date”), then you shall be eligible to receive the following severance benefits (collectively the “Non-CIC Severance Benefits”):

2.1.1

THE COMPANY will pay you severance pay in the form of continuation of your then-current Base Salary (ignoring any decrease that forms the basis for your resignation for Good Reason, if applicable) for twelve (12) months following the date on which your employment terminates (such period of time, the “Non-CIC Severance Period”, and such aggregate Base Salary amount payable, the “Non-CIC Severance”). The Non-CIC Severance will be paid in substantially equal instalments on THE COMPANY’s regular payroll schedule over the Non-CIC Severance Period, subject to standard deductions and withholdings, shall be reduced by any period of notice that you serve and shall be inclusive of any PILON; provided, however that no portion of the Non-CIC Severance (except for any PILON instalment which is due) will be paid prior to the Release Date, and any such payments that are otherwise scheduled to be made prior to the Release Date shall instead accrue and be made on the first regular payroll date following the Release Date; and

2.1.2

THE COMPANY will pay to you in monthly instalments, subject to applicable tax withholding, a fully taxable cash payment equal to the coverage premium for your (and your covered dependents, as applicable) health insurance coverage in effect on the termination date until the earliest of: (1) the close of the Non-CIC Severance Period; or (2) the date when you become eligible for substantially equivalent health insurance coverage in connection with new employment or self-employment.

2.2

You shall not receive the Non-CIC Severance Benefits pursuant to Paragraph 2.1 or the CIC Severance Benefits pursuant to Paragraph 3.1, as applicable (except for any PILON which is due to you), unless you execute the Settlement Agreement within the consideration period specified therein, which shall in no event be more than forty-five (45) days, and until the Settlement Agreement becomes effective. Your ability to receive the Non-CIC Severance Benefits pursuant to Paragraph 2.1 or the CIC Severance Benefits pursuant to Paragraph 3.1, as applicable, is further conditioned upon you: (i) returning all Company property; (ii) complying with your post-termination obligations under this Agreement; (iii) complying with the Settlement Agreement, including without limitation any non-disparagement and confidentiality provisions contained therein; and (iv) resignation from any other positions you hold with THE COMPANY or any Group Company, including any position on the Board of Directors of any Group Company effective no later than your date of termination (or such other date as requested by the Board).

IMMUNOCORE	Contract of Employment
	Page 24 of 27

2.3

For purposes of this Agreement, “Accrued Obligations” are (i) your accrued but unpaid salary through the date of termination, and (ii) any unreimbursed business expenses incurred by you payable in accordance with THE COMPANY’s standard expense reimbursement policies; and (iii) any earned but unpaid Annual Bonus for the year immediately preceding the year in which your employment terminates.

2.4

For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means any of the following actions taken by THE COMPANY without your express written consent: (i) a material reduction by THE COMPANY of your Base Salary (other than in a broad based reduction similarly affecting all other members of THE COMPANY’s executive management); (ii) the relocation of your principal place of employment, without your consent, in a manner that lengthens your one-way commute distance by fifty (50) or more miles from your then-current principal place of employment immediately prior to such relocation; (iii) a material reduction in your duties, authority, or responsibilities for THE COMPANY relative to your duties, authority, or responsibilities in effect immediately prior to such material reduction; or (iv) a material breach of this Agreement by THE COMPANY (or its successor) provided further, that, any such termination by you shall only be deemed for Good Reason pursuant to this definition if: (1) you give the Chief Executive Officer written notice of your intent to terminate for Good Reason within thirty (30) days following the first occurrence of the condition(s) that you believe constitute(s) Good Reason, which notice shall describe such condition(s); (2) THE COMPANY fails to remedy such condition(s) within thirty (30) days following receipt of the written notice (the “Cure Period”); (3) THE COMPANY has not, prior to the Chief Executive Officer receiving such notice from you, already informed you in writing that your employment with THE COMPANY is being terminated; and (4) you voluntarily terminate your employment within thirty (30) days following the end of the Cure Period.

2.5

For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” for termination shall mean that you have engaged in any of the following: (i) your failure to comply with applicable laws, rules, or regulations; (ii) your insubordination or wilful and repeated failure to comply with the lawful directions of the Chief Executive Officer provided that, if such failure to comply is amenable to cure in the Board’s sole discretion (reasonably exercised), then you receive written notice of such failure to comply and thirty (30) days to cure such failure to the Board’s reasonable satisfaction in its sole discretion; (iii) your committing any act which constitutes a breach of fiduciary duty owed by you to THE COMPANY or any Group Company; (iv) your material failure to perform satisfactorily the material duties of your position, or incompetence in the performance of such duties, provided that you receive written notice of such failure and thirty (30) days to cure such failure to Board’s reasonable satisfaction in its sole discretion; (v) your material breach of any provision of this Agreement, any other written agreement between the you and THE COMPANY or any Group Company, provided that, if such breach is amenable to cure in the Board’s sole discretion, then you receive written notice of such breach and thirty (30) days to cure such breach to Board’s reasonable satisfaction in its sole discretion; (vi) your material breach of any internally published policies of THE COMPANY or any Group Company, provided that, if such breach is amenable to cure in the Board’s sole discretion, then you receive written notice of such breach and thirty (30) days to cure such breach to Board’s reasonable satisfaction in its sole discretion; (vii) your acts or omissions constituting gross negligence, recklessness, wilful misconduct, illegal conduct, fraud, embezzlement, or misappropriation; or (viii) any conduct which constitutes a criminal offence (other than an offence under any road traffic legislation in the United Kingdom or elsewhere for which a fine or non-custodial penalty is imposed).

IMMUNOCORE	Contract of Employment
	Page 25 of 27

2.6

The Non-CIC Severance Benefits provided to you pursuant to this Paragraph 2 are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any benefits to which you may otherwise be entitled under any Company severance plan, policy, or program. For avoidance of doubt, you shall not be eligible to receive both CIC Severance Benefits and Non-CIC Severance Benefits.

2.7

Any damages caused by the termination of your employment without Cause not in connection with a Change in Control would be difficult to ascertain; therefore, the Non-CIC Severance Benefits for which you are eligible pursuant to Paragraph 2.1 above in exchange for the Settlement Agreement is agreed to by the parties as liquidated damages, to serve as full compensation, and not a penalty.

2.8

If THE COMPANY terminates your employment for Cause, or you resign from employment with THE COMPANY without Good Reason, regardless of whether or not such termination is in connection with a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), then you shall be entitled to the Accrued Obligations (and, if applicable in the event of your resignation without Good Reason, any PILON), but you will not be eligible for the Non-CIC Severance Benefits, the CIC Severance Benefits, or any other severance compensation or benefit from the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph or in this Agreement shall preclude you from remaining eligible to receive any payments or benefits pursuant to any life assurance or permanent health insurance policy under which you participate, subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such policy and applicable law.

3.	Termination by THE COMPANY without Cause or Resignation by you for Good Reason (in connection with a Change in Control).

3.1

In the event that THE COMPANY terminates your employment without Cause or you resign for Good Reason, in either case, upon or within eighteen (18) months following the effective date of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan, and such period, the “Change in Control Measurement Period”) then you shall be entitled to the Accrued Obligations and, subject to your full compliance with Paragraph 2.2 above, you shall be eligible to receive the following severance benefits (collectively the “CIC Severance Benefits”):

3.1.1

THE COMPANY will pay you severance pay in the form of continuation of your then-current Base Salary (ignoring any decrease that forms the basis for your resignation for Good Reason, if applicable) for eighteen (18) months following the date on which your employment terminates (such period of time, the “CIC Severance Period”, and such aggregate Base Salary amount payable, the “CIC Severance”). The CIC Severance will be paid in substantially equal instalments on THE COMPANY’s regular payroll schedule over the CIC Severance Period, subject to standard deductions and withholdings, shall be reduced by any period of notice that you serve and shall be inclusive of any PILON; provided, however that no portion of the CIC Severance (except for any PILON instalment which is due) will be paid prior to the Release Date, and any such payments that are otherwise scheduled to be made prior to the Release Date shall instead accrue and be made on the first regular payroll date following the Release Date;

IMMUNOCORE	Contract of Employment
	Page 26 of 27

3.1.2

THE COMPANY will pay to you in monthly instalments, subject to applicable tax withholding, a fully taxable cash payment equal to the coverage premium for your (and your covered dependents, as applicable) health insurance coverage in effect on the termination date until the earliest of: (1) the close of the CIC Severance Period or; (2) the date when you become eligible for substantially equivalent health insurance coverage in connection with new employment or self-employment.

3.1.3

THE COMPANY will make a lump sum cash payment to you in an amount equal to one and a half (1.5) times the Target Bonus for the year in which the termination occurs, subject to standard deductions and withholdings, which will be paid in a lump sum on the 60th day following the date on which your employment terminates;

3.1.4

THE COMPANY will pay you an amount equal to the prorated portion of the Annual Bonus for the calendar year in which your termination occurs (calculated using the Target Percentage for the number of days in the calendar year that have passed prior to your termination) (the “Pro-Rated Bonus”). The Pro-Rated Bonus will be subject to standard deductions and withholdings and will be paid in a lump sum on the 60th day following the date on which your employment terminates; and

3.1.5

Effective as of your termination date, the vesting and exercisability of all outstanding equity awards covering the Parent’s ordinary shares that are held by you immediately prior to the termination date (if any) shall be accelerated in full.

3.2	The CIC Severance Benefits provided to you pursuant to this Paragraph 3 are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any benefits to which you may otherwise be entitled under any Company severance plan, policy, or program.

3.3

Any damages caused by the termination of your employment without Cause during the Change in Control Measurement Period would be difficult to ascertain; therefore, the CIC Severance Benefits for which you are eligible pursuant to Paragraph 3.1 above in exchange for the Release are agreed to by the parties as liquidated damages, to serve as full compensation, and not a penalty.

4.	Cooperation with THE COMPANY After Termination of Employment.

Following termination of your employment for any reason, you shall reasonably cooperate with THE COMPANY, upon reasonable notice, in all matters relating to the winding up of your pending work including, but not limited to, any litigation in which THE COMPANY or any Group Company is involved, and the orderly transfer of any such pending work to such other executives as may be designated by THE COMPANY. The Company will reimburse you for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such cooperation, including travel expenses and reasonable legal expenses in connection with any required written or oral testimony.

5.	Effect of Termination.

You agree that should your employment be terminated for any reason, you shall be deemed to have resigned from any and all positions with THE COMPANY or any Group Company.
