28.3.13 have been convicted of any criminal offence (other than an offence under the Road Traffic Acts for which a penalty of imprisonment is not imposed), and any delay by the Company in exercising such right to terminate shall not constitute a waiver thereof.

28.4 Upon the termination of this agreement under clause 28.3, you shall be paid your salary accrued to the date of termination, together with any entitlement to be paid for accrued but untaken holiday and statutory holidays at the date of termination but you shall not be entitled to any other payment or compensation whatsoever in respect of such termination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a “Change in Control” shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the foregoing clause (i) solely as the result of an acquisition of securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of shares of Voting Securities outstanding, increases the proportionate number of Voting Securities beneficially owned by any person to 50 percent or more of the combined voting power of all of the then outstanding Voting Securities; provided, however, that if any person referred to in this sentence shall thereafter become the beneficial owner of any additional shares of Voting Securities (other than pursuant to a stock split, stock dividend, or similar transaction or as a result of an acquisition of securities directly from the Company) and immediately thereafter beneficially owns 50 percent or more of the combined voting power of all of the then outstanding Voting Securities, then a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the foregoing clause (i).

28.6 If you are terminated by the Company without Cause or you resign with Good Reason, in either case at any time other than during the Change in Control Period,

28.6.1 the Company shall pay to you the amounts required under clause 28.4 and (A) twelve (12) months of your final Base Salary and (B) an amount equal to twelve (12) months of the Company’s cost of providing medical and dental benefits to you if these benefits were elected by you as of the date of termination, which payments ((A and B)) shall be paid to you in installments on the Company regular payroll dates applicable to your position, beginning within sixty (60) days after the date of termination,

18

28.6.2 the payments described in (A) and (B) of clause 28.6.1 shall be conditioned upon execution and non-revocation by you of a Release Agreement, which the Company shall present to you and which you shall sign and shall become irrevocable within the time period required by the Release Agreement but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the date of termination.

28.6.3 To avoid doubt, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, under no circumstance shall you be entitled to payments under both clauses 28.5 and 28.6.

19

Provided that, for the avoidance of doubt but without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to make any Payment in Lieu of Notice in connection with any termination by the Company under clauses 28.5 or 28.6.

29.2 When making a payment in lieu of notice pursuant to clause 29.1 above, or otherwise, the Company may make a payment equivalent to your basic salary (as at the date of the termination) only for the whole of the notice period (or, if applicable, its remainder):

29.2.2 in instalments over the period until the expiry, if it had been served (in full or at all), of the notice period, and, in each case, such payments will be subject to income tax and national insurance contributions.

29.3 The Company will not be deemed to have made an election to pay in lieu of notice unless written notice to that effect is given to you in accordance with clause 29.1.1.
