For the purposes of this clause 15.4, the Appointee’s employment may be terminated as a result of disability if the Appointee is disabled and unable to perform the essential functions of the Appointee’s then existing position or positions under this Agreement with or without reasonable accommodation for a period of 120 days (which need not be consecutive) in any 12-month period. If any question will arise as to whether during any period the Appointee is disabled so as to be unable to perform the essential functions of the Appointee’s then existing position or positions with or without reasonable accommodation, the Appointee may, and at the request of the Company will, submit to the Company a certification in reasonable detail by a medical practitioner selected by the Company to whom the Appointee or the Appointee’s guardian has no reasonable objection as to whether the Appointee is so disabled or how long such disability is expected to continue, and such certification will for the purposes of this Agreement be conclusive of the issue. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such certification will not be used to circumvent or reduce the time period of 120 days in any 12-month period. The Appointee will co-operate with any reasonable request of the medical practitioner in connection with such certification. If such question will arise and the Appointee will fail to submit such certification within fifteen (15) days following a formal request by the Company, the Company’s determination of such issue will be binding on the Appointee. Nothing in this clause 15.4 will be construed to waive the Appointee’s rights, if any, under existing applicable laws.

Execution Copy

15.5

Upon termination of this Agreement howsoever arising the Appointee will forthwith upon the request of the Company, resign without claim for compensation from all offices held in the Company or any Associated Company and should he fail to do so the Company is hereby irrevocably authorised to appoint some person in his name and on his behalf to sign and do any documents or thing necessary or requisite to give effect thereto.

15.6

It is agreed by the Company and the Appointee that the termination of this Agreement in accordance with this clause 15 will for all purposes be treated as if it were for a substantial and sufficient reason of a kind justifying the dismissal of the Appointee and that the giving of notice in those circumstances will be treated as fair and reasonable.

15.7

The receipt of any severance payments, benefits or equity acceleration pursuant to this clause 15 (the “Severance Amount”) will be subject to the Appointee signing a release agreement in favour of the Company and related persons and entities in a form reasonably required by the Company (the “Release”) within 60 days following the Termination Date. No Severance Amount will be paid or provided unless the Release becomes fully effective. The Severance Amount will be paid in substantially equal instalments in accordance with the Company’s payroll practice over six (6) months, commencing within 60 days after the Termination Date; provided, however, that if the 60 day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, the Severance Amount will begin to be paid in the second calendar year.

15.8

Receipt of any Severance Amount pursuant to this clause 15 will be subject to the Appointee not violating the post termination provisions in this Agreement. In the event the Appointee breaches any such post termination provisions, the Company will, in addition to all other legal and equitable remedies, have the right to terminate or suspend the Severance Amount without affecting the Appointee’s Release or the Appointee’s obligations under the Release.

15.9	The Appointee will not be required to mitigate the Severance Amount contemplated by the Agreement, nor will any earnings that the Appointee may receive from any other source reduce any such Severance Amount.

16	Post-Termination Provisions

16.1	The Appointee acknowledges that:

(a)

the Company and each Associated Company has a compelling business interest in preventing the use or disclosure of the Confidential Business Information in the event that, after the termination of his employment with the Company or any of its Associated Companies, he goes to work for or becomes affiliated with a competitor of the Company or of any of the Associated Companies or otherwise engages in business activities that are competitive with the Businesses; and

(b)

the Company and the Associated Companies are engaged in a highly competitive business and that, by virtue of the position in which he is employed by the Company or any of its Associated Companies, his engaging in or working for or with any business which is directly or indirectly competitive with the Businesses will cause the Company and the Associated Companies great and irreparable harm.

Execution Copy

16.2	Accordingly, the Appointee covenants and agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly:

(a)

within the Restricted Area for a period of twelve (12) months after the Termination Date, without the prior written consent of the Board, in competition with the Company, engage, whether as director, officer, employee, consultant, partner, principal, agent or otherwise, or participate or be concerned or interested in any business or activity of a similar nature to or, wholly or partly, in competition with any of the Businesses or engage in preparations for any activity prohibited by this sub-clause 16.2(a);

(b)

within the Restricted Area for a period of twelve (12) months after the Termination Date, without the prior written consent of the Board, in competition with the Company, engage whether as director officer, employee, consultant, partner, principal, agent or otherwise, or participate or be concerned or interested in any business or activity (other than those to which sub-clause 16.2(a) above refers) which requires or might reasonably be thought by the Company to require him to publish, disclose or communicate in any manner or make use of any of the Confidential Business Information in order properly to discharge his duties to or to further his interest in such business.

16.3

Notwithstanding the provisions of sub-clause 16.2 should the Appointee desire to work for a competitor of the Company or of any Associated Company, or otherwise to compete with the Businesses or any of them following the Termination Date and prior to the expiry of the twelve (12) month period referred to in sub-clause 16.2, he agrees to give the Company not less than thirty (30) days advance notice, in writing, of his desire to engage in such competitive activity. In that event, the Company may agree, in its sole and unreviewable discretion, to waive its rights under sub-clause 16.2 above. The factors that the Company may consider in deciding whether to waive its rights under sub-clause 16.2 include, but are not limited to, the following:

(a)

the Appointee’s position and responsibilities with the Company or any of its Associated Companies;

(b)

the reason for the termination of the Appointee’s employment with the Company or any of its Associated Companies;

(c)

the length of time the Appointee was employed by the Company or any of its Associated Companies;

(d)

the nature of the Appointee’s new employment; and

(e)

the people or organisations affiliated with the planned competition.

16.4

The Appointee acknowledges that, by virtue of his employment with the Company or any of its Associated Companies, he will gain knowledge of the identity, characteristics and preferences of the Customers, among other Confidential Business Information, and that he would more likely than not have to draw on such Confidential Business Information if he were to solicit or service the Customers on behalf of a competing business enterprise. Accordingly, the Appointee covenants and agrees that he will not directly or indirectly:

(a)

for a period of twelve (12) months after the Termination Date in any capacity whatsoever seek any business, orders or custom for any Restricted Products or Restricted Services from any Customer with whom he had a material business relationship and/or in respect of whom he had Confidential Information;

(b)

for a period of twelve (12) months after the Termination Date in any capacity whatsoever accept any business, orders or custom for any Restricted Products or Restricted Services from any Customer with whom he had a material business relationship and/or in respect of whom he had Confidential Information.

Execution Copy

16.5	The Appointee also agrees that he will not directly or indirectly:

(a)

for a period of twelve (12) months after the Termination Date, in any capacity whatsoever, hire or solicit or entice away or seek to hire or entice away from the Company or any Associated Company any person who is and was at the Termination Date an employee of the Company with whom the Appointee had material contact or dealings during the course of his employment hereunder or any employee who had material contact with customers or suppliers of the Company during the course of his employment with the Company or any Associated Company, or any person who was a director or manager responsible for sales, or a director or manager responsible for marketing or products or technology and with whom the Appointee had contact or dealings during the course of his employment hereunder;

(b)

at any time after the Termination Date seek to disrupt or otherwise interfere with or prejudice the continuance of the supply of goods and/or services to the Company or any Associated Company or the terms of such supply;

(c)

at any time after the Termination Date represent himself or permit himself to be held out by any person, firm or company as being in any way connected with or interested in the Company or any Associated Company save to the extent of any shareholding in the Company or any Associated Company held by him for so long only as he holds the same;

(d)

at any time after the Termination Date disclose or communicate in any manner to any person, firm or company or make use of any of the Confidential Business Information (other than information which the Appointee is required to disclose by law).

16.6

In the event that the Appointee violates any of the provisions of clauses 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 or 15 and the Company initiates any proceeding against him in connection therewith, the time period of the restrictive covenants set forth above will be tolled until the final adjudication (by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction) of any such proceedings.

16.7

If and when the Appointee departs from the Company, the Appointee may be required to attend an exit interview and sign an “Employee Exit Acknowledgement” to reaffirm his acceptance and acknowledgement of the obligations set forth in this Agreement. For twelve (12) months following termination of the Appointee’s employment, the Appointee will notify the Company of any change in his address and of each subsequent employment or business activity, including the name and address of his employer or other post-Company employment plans and the nature of his activities.

17	Health, Safety and Security

The Company will take all reasonable action to ensure the health and safety of its staff. As an employee, the Appointee will also have certain responsibilities and obligations to safeguard its health, safety and wellbeing and that of its colleagues, visitors and contractors. The Appointee should familiarise itself with the Company’s health and safety policy and safety statement. Please note that breaching these obligations could result in disciplinary action.

18	Tax Withholding

All payments made pursuant to this Agreement will be subject to the withholding of all applicable taxes, social insurance or national insurance or other similar contributions, amounts due under the PAYE or PRSI systems or any other deductions required by law.

Execution Copy

19	Acknowledgement of the Appointee

The Appointee hereby acknowledges that he considers the restrictions and agreements set out in clauses 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 16 to be fair, reasonable and necessary for the protection of the legitimate commercial interests of the Company and each of the Associated Companies, that the Company and the Associated Companies will suffer irreparable harm in the event of any actual or threatened breach by the Appointee of any of the provisions of clauses 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 or 16 and the payment of money alone would not cover the harm the breach would cause. It is hereby agreed that if any of the provisions of clauses 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 or 16 are held to be void or invalid but would not have been so held if part of the wording were deleted, the periods thereof reduced or area covered thereby reduced in scope or the extent thereof reduced or modified, then such provisions will apply with such modifications as may be necessary to make the same valid and enforceable.

20	Notices

20.1

20.2

24	Miscellaneous

24.5	None of the terms of this Agreement may be amended, modified or altered except by a written agreement signed by the Appointee and the Company.

24.7

24.10

The failure of either party at any time to enforce any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or to exercise any right hereunder will not constitute a waiver of the same or affect that party’s right thereafter to enforce the same.

24.11

No term, covenant or condition of this Agreement or any breach thereof will be deemed waived, except with the prior written consent of the party against whom the waiver is claimed and any waiver of any such term, covenant, condition or breach will not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach, whether of the same or any other term, covenant, condition or breach.
