4.3 Payments upon Termination of the Employment

(a) Compensation Upon Termination by reason of Death or Disability

In the event the Employment is terminated by reason of death or by the Employer by reason of Disability, the Employer’s sole obligation, except as otherwise provided in a benefit plan in which the Executive is a participant on the Termination Date, shall be to pay the Executive (or to the legal representative of Executive’s estate upon death) any Accrued Salary and Benefits and a pro-rated Incentive (subject to the discretion of the Board) to the extent Executive is eligible at the Termination Date.

If the Employment is terminated by the Employer without Cause, the Employer shall pay the Executive:

(B) cease to be payable in full but continue to be payable in part upon the Executive commencing New Employment for which his New Salary will, in the reasonable opinion of the Board, be significantly lower than his Old Salary, but in excess of the Threshold. In these circumstances, each installment payable after the Executive has commenced the New Employment shall be reduced by a sum equal to one twelfth of the New Salary. For the purposes of this provision, “Threshold” shall mean an annualized sum of $350,000 (such sum to be increased by the same percentage increase to Salary as takes place between the date of this Agreement and the Termination Date); or

4.5 409A

(a) General

The intent of the parties to this Agreement is that the payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with or are exempt from Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”). Accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith.

(b) Separation from Service

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any compensation or benefits payable under this Agreement that are designated under this Agreement as payable upon Executive’s termination of employment shall be payable only upon Executive’s “separation from service” with the Employer within the meaning of Section 409A (a “Separation from Service”).

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if Executive is deemed by Employer at the time of Executive’s Separation from Service to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A, to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of the benefits to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A, such portion of Executive’s benefits shall not be provided to Executive prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of Executive’s Separation from Service with the Employer or (ii) the date of Executive’s death. Upon the first business day following the expiration of the applicable Section 409A period, all payments deferred pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be paid in a lump sum to Executive (or Executive’s estate or beneficiaries), and any remaining payments due to Executive under this Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein.

(d) Expense Reimbursements

To the extent that any reimbursements under this Agreement are subject to Section 409A, any such reimbursements payable to Executive shall be paid to Executive no later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred; provided that Executive submits Executive’s reimbursement request promptly following the date the expense is incurred, the amount of expenses reimbursed in one year shall not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement in any subsequent year, other than medical expenses referred to in Section 105(b) of the Code, and Executive’s right to reimbursement under this Agreement will not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

(e) Installments

Executive’s right to receive any installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each such installment payment shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment as permitted under Section 409A. The Employer may accelerate the payment of any amount under this Agreement; provided, that, no payment under this Agreement shall be accelerated unless such acceleration would not result in additional tax or interest pursuant to Section 409A.

4.6 Corporate Change

If at any time within 12 months of a Corporate Change, either the Employer terminates the Employment (other than for Cause), or the Executive resigns for Good Reason, the Employer shall be obliged to make the payments under Clause 4.3(c) or 4.3(d) as appropriate, except that said payment will be paid in a lump sum, subject to Clause 4.5.

This will be paid in equal monthly instalments in arrears on or about the last working day of the month. The rate of Salary will normally be reviewed annually on 1st October with the first such review expected to be in October 2014.

8.2 In addition to his Salary, the Executive will be eligible to participate in such of the following incentive schemes as exist from time to time for senior executives of the Group, subject always to their respective rules:

(a) Diageo Annual Incentive Plan;

(b) Diageo Senior Executive Share Option Plan; and/or

The Executive’s participation in and level of any award under such plans and schemes is at the discretion of the Board. If a payment is made or an award is granted under such plan and/or schemes in any one year, this shall not give rise to a contractual entitlement to a payment or award in future years. Any awards granted under these plans will be subject to the terms and conditions of the appropriate plan from time to time. Further, the Board may at its discretion reduce the Executive’s participation in the incentive schemes at (b) and (c) above in the event that he fails to satisfy the minimum shareholding requirement (based on his salary and length of service) applicable to him which will be notified to him from time to time.

8.3 The Salary shall be inclusive of any fees to which the Executive may be entitled as a director of the Company or any Group Company. The Executive agrees to pay forthwith to the Company or procure that the Company is paid all such fees received by him.

8.5 The Employer shall be entitled to deduct from any sum due to the Executive under the terms of this Agreement any monies which are owed by the Executive to the Employer.

executive pay from time to time; and (ii) the consent of the shareholders of the Company (together “Remuneration Governance”). The Company reserves the right to amend, reduce, hold back, defer, claw back and alter the structure of any payments and benefits payable to the Executive in order to comply with Remuneration Governance.

10.2 In the respective vacation years in which the Employment commences or terminates, the Executive’s entitlement to vacation shall accrue on a pro rata basis for each completed calendar month of service during the relevant year.

10.3 If, on the Termination Date, the Executive has exceeded his accrued vacation entitlement, the value of such excess, (calculated by reference to Clause 10.2 and the Salary), may be deducted by the Employer from any sums due to him, except to the extent such deduction would subject Executive to additional tax under Section 409A of the Code. If the Executive on the Termination Date has accrued but untaken vacation entitlement, the Employer shall at its discretion either require the Executive to take such unused vacation during any notice period or make a payment to him in lieu of it (calculated as above), provided always that if the Employment is terminated for Cause then the Executive shall not be entitled to any such payment. For these purposes, salary in respect of one day of vacation entitlement shall be calculated as 1/261 of Salary.

10.4 Vacation entitlement for one vacation year cannot be carried forward from one year to the next and failure to take vacation entitlement in the appropriate vacation year will lead to forfeiture of any accrued vacation not taken without any right to payment in lieu of it; provided always that any days of vacation not taken at the Employer’s written request in one year may be carried forward to the next year.

(b) give to the Employer such information concerning the above matters as the Employer may reasonably require; and

(c) if the Employer so requires, refund to the Employer any amount received by him from any such third party provided that the refund shall be no more than the amount which he has recovered in respect of remuneration.

12. OTHER BENEFITS

The provision of such benefits is without prejudice to the Employer’s right at its absolute discretion to terminate the Employment at any time including where the termination of employment would terminate participation in the benefit plan.

12.2 In accordance with Company policy on medical examination, the Executive will be entitled to an annual medical examination and test by a medical practitioner nominated by the Board.

(b) If the Executive, with the consent of the Board, accepts any other appointment he must keep the Company accurately informed of the amount of time he spends working under that appointment.

13.3 Subject to any regulations issued by the Company, the Executive shall not be entitled to receive or obtain directly or indirectly any discount, rebate, commission or any other form of gift or gratuity (any of these referred to as a “Gratuity”) as a result of the Employment or any sale or purchase of goods or services effected or other business transacted (whether or not by him) by or on behalf of the Company or any Group Company and if he (or any person in which he is interested) obtains any Gratuity he shall account to the Company for the amount received by him (or a due proportion of the amount received by the person having regard to the extent of his interest therein).

13.4 The Executive shall comply with every rule of law (including but not limited to the insider dealing provisions contained in Part V of the Criminal Justice Act 1993), the UK Listing Authority’s listing rules’ Model Code for transactions in securities by directors of listed companies, certain employees and persons connected with them and every regulation of the Company for the time being in force in relation to dealings in shares or other securities of the Company or any Group Company. Under Rule 6 of the Model Code, the person to whom notice should be given and from whom acknowledgement must be received before the Executive may deal in securities shall be the Company Secretary of the Company from time to time or such other person as shall be notified to the Executive. The Executive also acknowledges that under the provisions of the Model Code the Executive must seek to ensure compliance with the Model Code by persons connected with the Executive (within the meaning of section 252 of the Companies Act 2006) including, without limitation, the Executive’s spouse and dependent children, and by investment managers acting on the Executive’s behalf or on behalf of connected persons. The Executive undertakes to procure that dealings by or on behalf of such persons are in compliance with the Model Code.

13.5 The Executive shall comply, to the extent that the Board considers appropriate for a company the size of the Company, with the provisions of “The Corporate Governance Code” a corporate governance code issued by the Financial Reporting Council (as the same is amended from time to time).

14. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND COMPANY DOCUMENTS

14.1 The Executive shall neither during the Employment (except in the proper performance of his duties or for the purpose of obtaining legal, accountancy or pension advice or with the express written consent of the Board) nor at any time (without limit) after the termination of the Employment except in compliance with an order of a competent court, or any regulatory authority:

(a) divulge or communicate to any person, company, business entity or other organisation;

(b) use for his own purposes or for any purposes other than those of the Company or any Group Company; or

any Confidential Information.

These restrictions shall cease to apply to any information which shall become available to the public generally otherwise than through any breach by the Executive of the provisions of this Agreement or other default of the Executive.

14.2 The Executive acknowledges that all books, notes, memoranda, records, lists of customers and suppliers and employees, correspondence, documents, computer and other discs and tapes, data listings, codes, designs and drawings and other documents and material whatsoever (whether made or created by the Executive or otherwise) relating to the business of the Company or any Group Company (and any copies of the same), whether or not such material is Confidential Information:

(a) shall be and remain the property of the Company or the relevant Group Company; and

(b) shall be handed over by the Executive to the Company or to the relevant Group Company on demand and in any event on the termination of the Employment and the Executive shall certify that all such property has been handed over on request by the Board.

Provided that following the termination of the Employment, the Executive shall be provided with reasonable access to Board Minutes and agendas of the Company or any Group Company relating to a period during which he was a director of the Company or such Group Company which shall nevertheless remain confidential.

15. INVENTIONS AND OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

15.1 The parties foresee that the Executive may make inventions or create other Intellectual Property in the course of his duties and agree that in this respect the Executive has a special responsibility to further the interests of the Company and any Group Company.

15.2 The Executive agrees that he will promptly make full written disclosure to the Company, will hold in trust for the sole right and benefit of the Company, and hereby assigns to the Company, or its designee, all of his right, title and interest throughout the world in and to any and all Intellectual Property, whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright, trademark or similar laws, which he may solely or jointly develop, or cause to be developed, during the term of the Employment, whether during working hours or otherwise (collectively referred to as “Developed Intellectual Property”). The Executive further acknowledges that all Developed Intellectual Property which are original works of authorship or otherwise constitute copyrightable subject matter are “works made for hire” within the meaning of the United States Copyright Act and any similar laws of other jurisdictions (to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law) and are compensated by the Executive’s salary.

15.3 The Executive agrees to keep and maintain adequate and current written records of all Developed Intellectual Property during the term of the Employment with the Company. The records may be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, flow charts, electronic data or recordings, laboratory notebooks, and/or any other suitable format. Such records and any other materials or media embodying Developed Intellectual Property or Confidential Information will be available to and remain the sole property of the Company at all times. The Executive agrees not to remove any of the foregoing records, materials or media from the Company’s place of business except as expressly permitted by Company policy which may, from time to time, be revised at the sole election of the Company for the purpose of furthering the Company’s business.

15.4 The Executive agrees to assist the Company, or its designee, at the Company’s expense, in every proper way to secure the Company’s rights in the Developed Intellectual Property in any and all countries, including the disclosure to the Company of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments, recordations, and all other instruments which the Company shall deem necessary in order to apply for, obtain, maintain and transfer such rights and in order to assign and convey to the Company, its successors, assigns and nominees the sole and exclusive right, title and interest in and to such Developed Intellectual Property. The Executive further agrees that such obligation to execute or cause to be executed, when it is in his power to do so, any such instrument or papers shall continue after the termination of this Agreement until the expiration of the last right in such Intellectual Property to expire in any country of the world. If the Company is unable because of the Executive’s mental or physical incapacity or unavailability or for any other reason to secure his signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents or mask work, trademark or copyright registrations covering Developed Intellectual Property assigned to the Company as above, then the Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as his agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in his behalf and stead to execute and file any such applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the application for, prosecution, issuance, maintenance or transfer of Intellectual Property registrations with the same legal force and effect as if originally executed by the Executive. The Executive hereby waives and irrevocably quitclaims to the Company any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, which the Executive may now or hereafter have for infringement of any and all Intellectual Property assigned to the Company.

16. TERMINATION

16.1 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, in any of the following circumstances the Employer may terminate the Employment with immediate effect by serving written notice on the Executive to that effect. In such event the Executive shall not be entitled to any further payment from the Employer or the Group except as set out in Clause 4.3(b). The circumstances are if the Executive:

(a) is guilty of any gross misconduct or gross incompetence;

(b) commits any serious breach of this Agreement, or any wilful neglect or unreasonable refusal to discharge his duties provided that if such breach is capable of remedy, he shall have failed to remedy it within such reasonable period as is specified in a written notice from the Board pointing out the breach and requiring it to be remedied;

(d) is guilty of any fraud, dishonesty or conduct tending to bring himself, the Company or any Group Company into disrepute;

(e) commits any act of bankruptcy or takes advantage of any statute for the time being in force offering relief for insolvent debtors;

(f) is convicted or enters a plea of guilty or of no contest, to a felony involving moral turpitude or other convictions which might reasonably be thought to affect adversely the performance of his duties;

(g) is disqualified from holding office in the Company or in any other company by reason of any order made under the Company Directors Disqualification Xxx 0000 or any other enactment of any relevant jurisdiction or is found to have committed any serious

disciplinary offence by any professional or other body, which undermines the confidence of the Board in his continued employment under this Agreement;

(h) resigns other than at the request of the Board or otherwise ceases to be, or becomes prohibited by law from being, a director of the Company, otherwise than at the Company’s request; or

(i) is in breach of the Diageo Code of Business Conduct or the rules or regulations of the UK Listing Authority (including the Model Code for transactions in securities by directors of listed companies).

Any delay by the Employer in exercising such right of termination shall not constitute a waiver of it. The proper exercise by the Employer of its right of termination under this Clause is without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which it or any Group Company may have or be entitled to exercise against the Executive.

16.2 If the Employer believes that it may be entitled to terminate the Employment, whether pursuant to Clause 16.1 or otherwise, or if the Employer believes it is necessary in order to investigate a complaint against the Executive, it shall be entitled (but without prejudice to its right subsequently to terminate the Employment on the same or any other ground) to suspend the Executive on full pay and exclude him from the Group’s premises for so long as it may think fit.

16.3 On the termination of the Employment or if requested to do so by the Board in circumstances where the Executive has been prevented from performing his duties through long term sickness (for an aggregate period of six (6) months), the Executive shall:

(a) at the request of the Board resign from office as a director of the Company and all offices held by him in any Group Company and shall transfer to the Company without payment or as the Company may direct any qualifying shares held by him as nominee for the Company or any Group Company, provided however that such resignation shall be without prejudice to any claims which the Executive may have against the Company or any Group Company arising out of the termination of the Employment; and

(b) immediately deliver to the Company or the Employer all materials within the scope of Clause 14.2, any company car, mobile telephone or other Company or Group Company equipment in his possession and all keys, credit cards, and other property of or relating to the business of the Company or of any Group Company which may be in his possession or under his power or control;

and the Executive irrevocably authorises the Board to appoint any person in his name and on his behalf to sign any documents and do any things necessary or requisite to give effect to his obligations under this Clause 16.3.

16.4 If the Employment shall be terminated (otherwise than in circumstances set out in Clause 4.6) for the purpose of reorganisation, reconstruction or amalgamation for whatever reason and the Executive is offered employment with any concern or undertaking resulting from such reorganisation, reconstruction or amalgamation on terms and conditions which as a whole are no less favourable than the terms of this Agreement, then he shall have no claim against the Company or any Group Company in respect of the termination of the Employment.

16.5 The Executive shall not at any time after the Termination Date make any public statement in relation to the Company or any Group Company or any of their officers or employees. The Executive shall not without the Board’s consent after the termination of the Employment

represent himself as being employed by or connected with the Company or any Group company.

16.6 On the termination of the Employment (howsoever arising, including lawfully or unlawfully), the Executive shall not be entitled to any compensation or payment for the loss of any incentives or benefits granted under Clause 8.2 or any benefit which could have been derived from them, whether the compensation or payment is claimed by way of a payment in lieu of notice, damages for wrongful dismissal, breach of contract or loss of office, or compensation for unfair dismissal, or on any other basis. Any incentives or benefits that have accrued at the Termination Date under any of the plans set out at clause 8.2 will continue to be governed by the terms of those plans.

17. RESTRICTIONS AFTER TERMINATION

17.1 Definitions

Since the Executive is likely to obtain Confidential Information in the course of the Employment and personal knowledge of and influence over suppliers, customers, clients and employees of the Company and Group Companies, the Executive hereby agrees with the Company that in addition to the other terms of this Agreement and without prejudice to the other restrictions imposed upon him by law, he will be bound by the covenants and undertakings contained in this Clause 17. In this Clause 17, unless the context otherwise requires:

“Customer”		means any person to which the Company distributed, sold or supplied Restricted Products or Restricted Services during the Relevant Period and with which, during that period either the Executive, or any employee under the direct or indirect supervision of the Executive, had material dealings in the course of the Employment, but always excluding any division, branch or office of such person with which the Executive and/or any such employee had no dealings during that period;

“Prospective Customer”		means any person with which the Company had discussions during the Relevant Period regarding the possible distribution, sale or supply of Restricted Products or Restricted Services and with which during such period the Executive, or any employee who was under the direct or indirect supervision of the Executive, had material dealings in the course of the Employment, but always excluding any division, branch or office of that person with which the Executive and/or any such employee had no dealings during that period;

“Restricted Employee”		means any person who was a director, employee or consultant of the Company or any Group Company or any joint venture between the Company (or any Group Company) and a third party at any time within the Relevant Period who by reason of that position and in particular his seniority (level three (3) or above) and expertise or knowledge of Confidential Information or knowledge of or influence over the clients, customers or contacts of the Company is likely to cause damage to the Company if he were to leave the employment of the Company

		and become employed by a competitor of the Company;

“Restricted Period”		means the period commencing on the Termination Date and continuing for twelve (12) months;

“Restricted Products”		means any products, equipment or machinery researched into, developed, manufactured, supplied, marketed, distributed or sold by the Company and with which the duties of the Executive were materially concerned or for which he was responsible during the Relevant Period, or any products, equipment or machinery of the same type or materially similar to those products, equipment or machinery;

“Restricted Services”		means any services (including but not limited to technical and product support, technical advice and customer services) supplied by the Company and with which the duties of the Executive were materially concerned or for which he was responsible during the Relevant Period, or any services of the same type or materially similar to those services;

“Supplier”		means any supplier, agent, distributor or other person who, during the Relevant Period was in the habit of dealing with the Company and with which, during that period, the Executive, or any employee under the direct or indirect supervision of the Executive, had material dealings in the course of the Employment.

17.2 Restrictive covenants

The Executive confirms that, neither during the Employment nor during the Restricted Period, without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), whether by himself, through his employees or agents or otherwise and whether on his own behalf or on behalf of any person, directly or indirectly, he will not:

(a) be engaged, concerned or interested (except as a Minority Holder) in: (i) the businesses of AB Inbev, Bacardi Limited, Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Carlsberg A/S, Heineken NV, PernodRicard or SAB Xxxxxx. The Company may notify the Executive from time to time of additions to the foregoing list of companies, such additions being businesses which are similar to and compete with any business being carried on by the Company or by any Group Company; or (ii) that part of any other business or person that is involved in the business of researching into, developing, manufacturing, distributing, selling, supplying or otherwise dealing with Restricted Products, if the business or person is or seeks to be in competition with the Company;

(b) so as to compete with the Company, solicit business from or canvas any Customer or Prospective Customer in respect of Restricted Products or Restricted Services;

(i) acquired knowledge of its products, services, trade secrets or Confidential Information; or

(ii) had personal dealings with its Customers or Prospective Customers; or

(iii) supervised directly or indirectly employees having personal dealings with its Customers or Prospective Customers;

(iv) but so that references to the “Company” shall for this purpose be deemed to be references to the relevant Group Company. The obligations undertaken by the Executive pursuant to this Clause 17.3 shall, with respect to each Group Company, constitute a separate and distinct covenant and the invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the covenants in favour of any other Group Company.

17.4 Further undertakings

The Executive hereby undertakes to the Company that he will not at any time:

(i) during the Employment or after the Termination Date engage in any trade or business or be associated with any person engaged in any trade or business using any trading names used by the Company or any Group Company including the name(s) or incorporating the word(s) “Diageo”; or

17.5 Severance

The restrictions in this Clause 17 (on which the Executive has had the opportunity to take independent advice, as the Executive hereby acknowledges) are separate and severable restrictions and are considered by the parties to be reasonable in all the circumstances. It is agreed that if any such restrictions, by themselves, or taken together, shall be adjudged to go beyond what is reasonable in all the circumstances for the protection of the legitimate interests of the Company or a Group Company but would be adjudged reasonable if some part of it were deleted, the relevant restriction or restrictions shall apply with such deletion(s) as may be necessary to make it or them valid and enforceable.

18. FORMER CONTRACTS OF EMPLOYMENT

18.1 This Agreement and the documents referred to in it, constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties.

18.2 This Agreement shall be in substitution for any previous contracts, whether by way of letters of appointment, agreements or arrangements, whether written, oral or implied, relating to the employment of the Executive, which shall be deemed to have been terminated by mutual consent as from the Commencement Date and the Executive acknowledges that he has no outstanding claims of any kind against the Company or any Group Company in respect of any such contract.

18.3 For the avoidance of doubt, this clause shall not affect benefits which have already accrued to the Executive prior to the date hereof under any pre-existing scheme or arrangement by virtue of which he was entitled to benefits.

19. CHOICE OF LAW AND ARBITRATION

19.1 This Agreement and the interpretation thereof, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut without regard to its conflict of law rules and shall be deemed to have been made in the State of Connecticut.

19.2 The parties hereto mutually consent to the resolution by arbitration of all claims or controversies, whether or not arising out of Executive’s employment or its termination that the Executive may have against the Company or any Group Company, or against its directors, officers, employees or agents or that the Company or any Group Company may have against the Executive.

19.3 The parties agree that any arbitration shall be in accordance with the then current employment arbitration procedures of the American Arbitration Association before an arbitrator who is licensed to practice law. The arbitration shall take place in Connecticut unless the parties all consent to an alternate location. The parties further agree that arbitration is the exclusive and binding remedy for any such dispute and will be used instead of any court action, which is hereby expressly waived by any party, except for any request by either party for temporary or preliminary injunctive or other equitable relief pending arbitration in accordance with applicable law or an administrative claim with an administrative agency.

20. GENERAL

20.1 The expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not prejudice any claim which any party may have against the other in respect of any pre-existing breach of or contravention of or non-compliance with any provision of this Agreement nor shall it prejudice the coming into force or the continuance in force of any provision of this Agreement which is expressly or by implication intended to or has the effect of coming into or continuing in force on or after such expiration or termination of the Employment or this Agreement.

20.2 No failure or delay by the Company or any Group Company in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Company or any Group Company of any right, power or privilege preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

20.3 The Executive promises to cooperate fully in any investigation that the Company or any Group Company undertakes into matters occurring during the Executive’s Employment. The Employer will reimburse Executive for reasonable expenses incurred in accordance with its Travel and Expense Policy.

20.4 No provision of this Agreement may be amended, changed, modified or waived unless such amendment, change, modification or waiver is agreed to in writing, signed by Executive and by a duly authorized officer of the Company. No waiver by any party hereto of any breach by another party hereto of any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of a similar or dissimilar condition or provision at the same time, any prior time or any subsequent time.

20.5 If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any party or circumstances shall be determined by any court to be invalid and unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such provision to such person or circumstances other than those to which it is so determined to be invalid and unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision hereof shall be validated and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

20.6 The Executive represents and warrants that he is not bound by or subject to any court order, agreement, arrangement or undertaking which in any way restricts or prohibits him from entering into this Agreement or from performing his duties under it.

20.7 Regardless of the reason or method bringing about the termination of Employment, all the Executive’s post termination obligations contained in this Agreement, including in particular the restrictive covenants in Clause 16.6, shall remain in full force and effect.

21. NOTICES
