Any such bonus payment shall be based on the Company’s achievement of certain performance milestones as well as your personal performance, pursuant to the rules of the scheme from time to time in place and which shall be notified to you separately. Any bonus awarded by the Company implies no expectation nor creates any precedent for the awarding of any subsequent bonus.

11.2 Subject to clause 11.4, in the event that you are employed for part only of any Financial Year, you shall not be entitled to receive any bonus in respect of that Financial Year.  

11.3 Subject to clause 11.4, your entitlement to any bonus shall automatically lapse with effect from the beginning of the Financial Year to which it relates in the event that, before the bonus becomes payable, either you or, the Company has given notice of termination of employment, or your employment has ended for whatever reason.

11.4 In the event that the Company terminates your employment other than:

11.4.1 pursuant to clause 27; or

11.4.2 by reason of misconduct or performance reasons

the Company shall pay you at its absolute discretion a discretionary bonus of up to 40% of your basic salary on a pro-rata basis according to (a) the period of the Financial Year that has elapsed up to the earlier of the Termination Date and the date on which the Company serves you with notice of such termination (the “Termination Bonus Period”); and (b) the Company’s achievement of certain performance milestones as well as your personal performance during the Termination Bonus Period, pursuant to the rules of the relevant bonus scheme in place at that time.

11.5 If the Company exercises its right pursuant to clause 26, the calculation of the payment shall not include any bonus payment relating to any period of notice that you have not worked or not been allowed to work.

11.6 In the event that the Company exercises its rights pursuant to clause 24, you shall not be entitled to receive any bonus relating to any period during which you were not required by the Company to attend work or perform any duties of employment.

15.2 Benefits under any of the Insurance Schemes are subject to the rules of the scheme and the terms of any applicable insurance policy and are conditional on you satisfying any applicable requirements of the insurer and the premium being at a rate that the Company considers reasonable. Copies of these rules and policies and particulars of the requirements (when notified to the Company) will be provided to you on request.

15.3 From time to time, the Company may, in its absolute discretion, amend, vary or discontinue any of the Insurance Schemes (including the level of any cover in place) and you shall not be entitled to any replacement benefit or to any compensation in lieu of such benefit.

15.4 Neither any outstanding or prospective entitlement to benefits under the Insurance Schemes, nor any actual or prospective loss of entitlement to those benefits, shall preclude the Company from exercising any right to terminate your employment under this Agreement.

15.5 The Company shall only be obliged to make payments to you under any such Insurance Schemes if it has received payment from the relevant insurance provider for that purpose. If any insurance provider refuses for any reason to provide any benefits to you, the Company shall not be liable to provide any such benefits itself, or to pay any compensation in lieu.

11

16.1 In addition to normal public holidays, you are entitled to 25working days’ paid holiday during each holiday year. Holiday entitlement shall accrue pro-rata throughout the holiday year.  A “holiday year” means the period from January 1 in one year to the next following December 31.  Requests to take holiday must be made in writing to the CEO and you must have the prior agreement of the Company before taking any holiday. The taking of holiday at certain times of the year may have to be restricted having regard to the operational needs of the business. The Company may require you to take holiday on specific days as notified to you.

16.2 You may not take more than 5working days' holiday at any one time without the prior approval of the CEO.

16.3 You cannot carry forward more than 5 days of untaken holiday from one holiday year to the following holiday year unless you have been prevented from taking it in the relevant holiday year as a result of long-term sickness absence.  In cases of sickness absence, carry-over is limited to 4 weeks' holiday per holiday year less any holiday (including any public holidays) already taken during the holiday year that has just ended. Any such carried over holiday that is not taken within 18 months of the end of the relevant holiday year will be lost. For all purposes, the first 4 weeks of the holiday you take in any holiday year (including any public holiday, but excluding any holiday carried forward from a previous holiday year) shall be deemed to be holiday derived from regulation 13 of the Regulations and the following 1.6 weeks shall be deemed to be derived from regulation 13A of the Regulations. The remainder of your holiday entitlement is derived from your contract.

16.4 Subject to clause 16.5 below you will be entitled to payment in lieu of any accrued but untaken holiday entitlement at the Termination Date.

16.5 On the termination of your employment pursuant to clause 27.1 you will only be entitled to payment in lieu of unused holiday entitlement calculated in accordance with the Regulations and for these purposes all holiday entitlement in the relevant holiday year shall be holiday entitlement calculated in accordance with the Regulations.

16.6 If you have taken more than your accrued entitlement at the Termination Date, you shall be required to pay to the Company (or the Company may make a deduction from any payments due to you of) an amount equivalent to the value of the number of days by which you have exceeded your entitlement.

16.7 For the purposes of calculating a day’s pay, a day shall be 1/261 of annual salary. Therefore, one day's holiday entitlement shall accrue at the rate of 1/261 annual salary.

16.8 Where notice of termination is given by either party, you may be required to take any accrued but untaken holiday entitlement prior to the termination of your employment, failing which such holiday entitlement will lapse.

17 SICKNESS OR INJURY

17.1 If you are unable to work as a result of ill-health, injury or other medical incapacity you shall notify the CEO as soon as possible on the first day of absence. On your return to work you must complete a self-certification form. If you are absent for more than 7 consecutive calendar days, you will be required to provide a doctor's certificate.

12

days in any period of 12 months (in all cases pro rata if you are employed on a part-time basis). These payments will include any entitlement to Statutory Sick Pay and if this is exhausted shall by reduced by the amount of an state benefit(s) which may be recoverable by you (whether or not recovered).In the event that you become eligible to receive benefits under any permanent health insurance scheme that the Company might operate from time to time, the Company shall not have any obligation to make any, or any further, payments (as applicable) to you under this clause.

17.3 During any period where you are unable to work as a result of ill-health, injury or other medical incapacity, the Company may appoint someone else to perform your duties temporarily, until such time as you are able to fully resume the performance of your duties to the Company's satisfaction.

17.4 If you exhaust your entitlement to sick pay under clause 17.2, the Company may, in its absolute discretion, agree to make further payments to you, provided that if such further payments are made, they may be discontinued or reduced in amount at any time at the Company’s absolute discretion.

17.5 You agree to undergo a medical examination at the Company's expense by a health professional nominated by the Company at any time upon request by the Company. You authorise the health professional to disclose the results of such examination to the Company. Your entitlement to sick pay, set out in clause 17.2, will be dependent upon your compliance with these requirements.

17.6 If you are incapable of properly fulfilling your duties under this Agreement by reason of your absence due to sickness, injury or other medical incapacity for a period of more than 60 working days in aggregate in any period of 52 consecutive weeks, the Company shall be entitled to terminate your employment by service of notice one week longer than the appropriate period of statutory minimum notice (or payment of basic salary in lieu thereof), irrespective of whether you then have any outstanding or prospective entitlement to Company sick pay or to any other sickness or incapacity benefits (whether contractual, statutory or otherwise).

17.7 If your absence is due to injuries, actionable negligence or nuisance caused by, or on account of a breach of any statutory duty by, any third party, all payments made to you by the Company under this clause 17 shall, to the extent that compensation is recoverable from that third party (or would be recoverable but for this clause), constitute loans by the Company to you which shall be repaid by you when and to the extent that the Company requests such repayment.

18 OTHER PAID LEAVE
