Participation in the DAB and LTIP is subject to the terms set by the Remuneration Committee, as amended from time to time. The DAB and LTIP are discretionary bonus schemes which do not form part of an employee’s contract of employment, and any award which is made from time to time should not be relied upon as setting a precedent for any subsequent award periods.

11	Death in Service
	During the period of the Appointment, the Company will provide the benefit of death in service insurance at the rate of four times annual salary on accidental death (subject always to the rules of such scheme). These arrangements are in addition to any death benefits hereafter provided under the Company’s Pension Scheme. If the Insurer fails or refuses to provide the Executive’s personal representatives with any benefit under the insurance arrangement provided by the Company the Executive’s personal representatives will have no right of action against the Company in respect of such failure or refusal.
12	Pension
	The Executive will be offered membership of the Group Personal Pension Plan (“GPPP”) subject to and in accordance with the rules of the relevant plan as amended from time to time.
