5.2    Basic Salary is payable in equal monthly instalments, in line with the time and manner currently paid to you. The Company may alter this payment pattern or method of payment subject to providing you with reasonable notice (of at least 7 days) of the Company's intention to do so.

5.3    Salaries are reviewed annually although whether or not there will be any increase to your Basic Salary will be within the Company's discretion.

5.4    You authorise the Company at any time during your employment and on termination of this Agreement to deduct from your Basic Salary or other payments otherwise owed to you, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any sums due from you to the Company or any Group Company including, but not limited to, any overpayment of salary or holiday pay, benefits and/or expenses, loans or advances made to you by the Company, the cost of repairing any damage or loss of the Company's property caused by you (and of recovering it), and any monies owed on a corporate credit card which are not subject to reimbursement by the Company. After application of the above amounts, if monies are still outstanding, the Company shall notify you of the amount owed and you shall promptly pay such amount to the Company.

6.1    You are eligible to participate in the Company's discretionary annual bonus plan in effect from time to time. Your annual bonus target is 70% of Basic Salary. The bonus plan year runs from January 1 - December 31, and will be paid as set forth in separate documentation to be provided to you by the Company. Each annual bonus will generally be paid by March 1 or such a later date, as is consistent with Company's normal payroll policies and annual bonus plan document ("Plan"). Payment of such annual bonus is subject to you remaining employed through the payment date of such bonus and is subject to the applicable Plan as may be in place, and such individual, team or corporate targets as the Board may communicate, from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, any bonus, if awarded, does not become due and payable until the date of payment of any bonus.

6.2    You shall have no right to any annual bonus (whether on a pro rata basis or otherwise) if:

6.2.1    you have an unexpired disciplinary warning on file on the date when the bonus might otherwise have been payable;

6.2.2    you are subject to any unconcluded disciplinary action or investigation (whether internal or external) on the date any bonus is being considered and/or on the date when the bonus might otherwise have been payable (although the Company may reconsider the matter upon the conclusion of the disciplinary action or investigation in question);

6.2.3    your employment terminates or if you are for any reason under notice of termination (whether given by you or by the Company) at or prior to the date when the bonus might otherwise have been payable.

6.3    Other than as set forth in this Agreement, there is no contractual entitlement to any increase in your annual bonus, if any. Your entitlement to participate in any form of incentive plan, including but not limited to the annual bonus, and the amount of any bonus or other incentive you may receive under any such plans, will be determined by the Company in its absolute sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of any bonus or other form of incentive may be zero.

6.4    All amounts you are eligible to receive under this clause will be paid to you less statutory deductions such as income tax and National Insurance.

6.5    The Company reserves the right, at any time, to vary or withdraw the annual bonus and/or any other incentive plan in which you may, from time to time, be eligible to participate, without notice and without entitling you to compensation, other than any specific sums or specific benefits already confirmed, in writing, by the Company to be payable to you, in accordance with the above sub-clauses at the date on which the arrangement is varied or withdrawn. The Company's ability to vary shall include but shall not be limited to any changes it elects, in its sole discretion, to make to the rules, eligibility criteria and/or incentive levels.

6.6    Payment of a bonus, commission, or any other form of incentive in one period does not guarantee payment in a subsequent year, half-year or other period.

6.7    The provision of any bonus, commission, share incentive scheme, or other incentive scheme whatsoever, provided from time to time by the Company or a Group Company, does not in any way prevent the Company from terminating this Agreement for any reason, even if to do so, lawfully or unlawfully, would deprive you of the benefits of participation in any such scheme. If on termination of your employment, whether lawfully or unlawfully, or in breach of contract, you lose any of the rights or benefits under the applicable variable compensation scheme or in relation to any awards or options you held immediately prior to such termination of your employment and/or this Agreement ("Other Awards") which you would not have lost had the Agreement not been terminated (for example, you are not employed as at a vesting date and therefore options which would have vested on that date lapse) you shall not be entitled by way of damages to be compensated for the loss of rights or benefits under the applicable plan or in respect of any Other Awards. The foregoing covers claims for loss or compensation not only in relation to rights under the Plan rules, or any other plan rules, but also under any separate but related documents e.g., individual award agreements or letters.

6.8    If at any time in the six-year period after any bonus is paid to you the Company or Group is required to restate its accounts to a material extent or the Board becomes aware of any material malfeasance on your part that would have entitled to the Company to terminate your employment in

accordance with clause 14.3, then the Board shall be entitled to recalculate the bonus that they would have awarded you in each financial year had these facts been known at the time the bonus was awarded. You shall, if so required by the Board and without prejudice to the Company's other remedies, repay on demand (on a gross basis) the difference between such recalculated bonuses and the bonuses actually paid to you.

6.9    You may from time to time receive awards under the Group's Crane NXT, Co. 2018 Amended & Restated Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan). Your participation and the terms attaching to any such awards are at the absolute discretion of the Board. If at the Company's or the Board's discretion you are granted options or other equity awards under the Plan then those options or awards shall be governed by the rules of the Plan which may be varied from time to time. Any such options or awards and any participation in the Plan are not benefits conferred by this contract of employment. You do not have any right to receive further awards under the Plan.

6.10    You are required to attain and then retain a minimum of four (4) times your Basic Salary in common stock under the Group's stock ownership policy. While there is not a specific time horizon to reach that level, you will be required to retain at least 50% of net shares received in each vesting cycle or subsequent individual equity transaction until you reach the required stock-holding requirement.

6.11    You will be reimbursed all out of pocket expenses wholly, exclusively and necessarily incurred personally in the performance of your duties for the Company and the Group on hotel, travelling, and other similar items provided that you comply with the Company's current policy relating to expenses and produce to the Company satisfactory evidence of expenditure.

6.12    The Company will, during the term of this Agreement, pay to you with your Basic Salary i) a gross monthly car allowance at the rate of £11,000 per annum (or such higher rate as may from time to time be notified to you) (the "Car Allowance") and ii) a gross monthly stipend in lieu of any enhanced pension contribution in excess of the Company's statutory obligations at the rate of £14,000 per annum (the "Pension Stipend").

6.13    The Car Allowance and Pension Stipend are non pensionable and will be subject to statutory deductions. The Car Allowance Is paid on the basis that you provide your own car for business and personal use during the continuance of your employment and pay all costs related to it (including fuel, licence, insurance, repairs and maintenance), ensure that at all times the car is in the condition required by law and insured for business purposes, indemnify the Company against all losses suffered in connection with the car which are not covered by insurance and the car used is of a type and in a condition suitable for business purposes and commensurate with your status.

7.1    Your normal place of work will be at the Company's office(s) located in the United Kingdom, but the Company reserves the right to change this to any alternative office within 1.5 hours commuting time of your home, or your current commuting time if greater, giving you at least one month's notice of the change.

7.2    The Company, may, in its sole discretion, from time to time, require you to carry out your duties from home. This does not give you a contractual right to work from home, and if the Company does exercise its discretion to require you to work from home, this will not amount to a contractual variation of your main place of work as identified above.

7.3    You agree to travel (both within and outside of the UK) as may be required for the proper and efficient performance of your duties of employment. Unless otherwise agreed, you will not be required to work outside the UK for continuous periods of more than 1 month.

8.1    Your normal hours of work are 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday to Friday. You will also be required to work such additional hours as may be necessary for the proper and efficient performance of your duties or for such reasons as training, holiday cover, sickness, or general operational requirements. Moreover, you may on occasions be required to work on a Saturday and/or Sunday. There will be no additional payment for hours worked in excess of your normal hours of work.

8.2    You agree that the limit on weekly working time contained in Regulation 4 of The Working Time Regulations 1998 does not apply because Regulation 20 applies to you.

8.3    If we request, you must keep such records and permit such monitoring or restrictions of your working time as we require.

9.1    The Company observes the usual public holidays In England & Wales. The Company reserves the right to change its holiday schedule upon written notice (including via email) at any time.

9.2    The Company's holiday year runs from 1st January to 31st December. You shall be entitled to 27 days' paid annual leave each year in addition to the bank and statutory holidays above (together referred to as "holiday").

9.3    In the holiday year, you will be deemed to take the 4 weeks of Regulation 13 of the Working Time Regulations 1998 holiday before the 1.6 weeks of Regulation 13A holiday, and all statutory holiday before non-statutory holiday.

9.4    For the purpose of calculating holiday pay, one day of pay shall normally be calculated as 1/260 of your annual full-time equivalent Basic Salary. Additional amounts will be factored in only if required by applicable law.

9.5    After the first year of service there is no deemed accrual. Annual leave may be taken at times and for a duration agreed with your manager. At least two weeks of prior written notice must be given for any annual leave days taken. Part of your holiday entitlement may be used to cover public holidays and Company closedown periods. The Company reserves the right to require the taking of holiday at other particular times during holiday year e.g. during any period of Garden Leave (as defined below), during a notice period, or over a non-busy time.

9.6    Upon notice of termination of your employment by you or the Company, the Company may, at its sole discretion, either require you to take all or part of any accrued but untaken holiday entitlement during any notice period or may, at its discretion, make a payment in lieu of part or all of your accrued but untaken holiday entitlement as at the Termination Date, subject to legal and required deductions.

9.7    Unless otherwise set forth in Company policies as may be in effect at the time, or as required by law, you may not carry over unused holiday entitlement from one holiday year to the next.

9.8    Holiday entitlement during extended periods of sickness absence will be determined by the Company in accordance with the relevant legislation, as amended. Carryover in cases of long-term sickness (more than 4 weeks) where the holiday could not reasonably have been used within the holiday year shall be limited to the first 4 weeks' statutory holiday entitlement per holiday year and shall be carried over no more than 18 months after the end of the relevant holiday year.

9.9    If you are absent from work on unpaid long-term sick leave and wish to make use of all or part of your unused holiday entitlement, at the discretion of the Company you may be permitted to do so and, if any holiday is taken during such period, you will be paid for this leave on the usual terms. For the avoidance of doubt, any period of holiday taken during sickness absences will also be regarded as a continuation of that sickness absence and will not constitute a return to work.

9.10    Any holiday due to you by the Company upon termination of your employment shall be calculated by establishing the number of holiday days to which you are entitled in the holiday year up to the date of termination and subtracting from this the number of days taken during the current holiday year. The number of days remaining, if any, will be paid at the rate of 1/2601h of your full-time equivalent annual Basic Salary for each untaken day of your entitlement. However, if we have dismissed you or would be entitled to dismiss you for gross misconduct or you have resigned without giving the required notice, such payment shall be limited to your remaining statutory entitlement under the Working Time Regulations 1998, if any, and any holiday taken shall be deemed first to have been taken in satisfaction of that statutory entitlement.

9.11    If at the date on which your employment terminates you have taken more holiday than your entitlement, you authorise the Company to deduct the amount owing from any payments due to you and you will be required to make a payment to the Company of any additional amount owed by you on the Termination Date calculated at 11260th of your annual full-time equivalent Basic Salary for each excess day.

10.1    You will be paid Statutory Sick Pay ("SSP") when you are eligible to receive it under the legislation and regulations from time to time in force. Monday to Friday (inclusive) in each week shall be qualifying days for the purposes of the legislation relating to SSP. The Company may in its sole and absolute discretion pay you an amount equal to your Basic Salary ("Company Sick Pay") for the first 13 weeks of sickness absence in any rolling 12-month period, subject to such conditions as the Board may specify. Company Sick Pay will include any entitlement to SSP or any benefits provided by virtue of any permanent health insurance scheme. Company Sick Pay is also subject to your compliance with this Agreement and will not be paid in respect of any period of illness whilst the Company is addressing performance or disciplinary issues.

10.2    You must comply with the Company sickness absence reporting procedures. Payment of salary and any other allowances will be suspended automatically after three working days of absence without explanation. The Company will make efforts to contact you in such a case to discuss reasons for the absence and the likely date of return. Unexplained absence may be treated as set forth in Clause 14.2.

10.3    Not all duties express and implied are suspended during sickness absence. You may be given reasonable and/or lawful instructions during any period of sick leave. Unreasonable refusal to comply with such an instruction or failure to comply with the Company's reporting requirements and/or the Company's sickness absence policy in force from time to time could render you liable to the cessation of sick pay and/or disciplinary action.

10.4    In the event that you are, by reason of your sickness or other medical incapacity, absent from work and/or unable to perform all of your duties under this Agreement for any period, the Company may, in its sole discretion, reassign any or all of your duties.

10.5    If you are sick and absent from work, you must take all reasonable steps to assist in improving your health and facilitating your return to work. This includes, undertaking any treatment which is reasonably recommended to you by a medical practitioner (including a doctor, nurse, occupational health therapist or consultant).

10.6    At any stage of sickness absence you may be asked to be examined by a Company-nominated medical practitioner, and may be requested to give permission, by completing a consent form, for such practitioner or your own doctor to provide a medical report to the Company. You may be requested to be referred to and assessed by an occupational health consultant paid for by the Company, and to have a return to work plan shared with the Company and/ or with your doctor. You agree that you will undergo a medical examination by a medical practitioner appointed by the Company, engage with an occupational health consultant, and give consent at any stage. Copies of any reports provided to the Company by such a medical practitioner and/or an occupational health consultant shall be made available to your own doctor. The fees and expenses incurred in the provision of such a medical examination or occupational health services and of obtaining access to such health records and occupational health reports shall be borne by the Company.

10.7    Any outstanding or prospective entitlement to SSP, private medical insurance cover, income protection, or any other benefit will not prevent the Company from exercising its right to terminate your employment for any reason in accordance with this Agreement while you are absent from work due to ill health or injury.

10.8    If the illness, accident or other incapacity has been, or appears to be, caused by the negligence of a third party in respect of which damages are or may be recoverable, you will immediately notify the Company of that fact and of any claim, compromise, settlement or judgment made or awarded in connection with it. You will also give to the Company all particulars that may reasonably be required and will, if required, refund all or such part of the sums paid to you or for your benefit by way of salary, bonus or benefits during the relevant period as the Company may reasonably determine. The amount to be refunded will not, however, exceed the amount of damages or compensation and interest recovered by you, less any unrecovered costs borne by you in connection with the recovery of such damages or compensation, and will not exceed the total remuneration paid to you by way of salary, bonus and benefits in respect of the period of such illness, accident or other incapacity.

The details of any paid leave entitlement which is in addition to annual leave, including all statutory paid leave entitlements such as maternity, paternity, adoption, parental, shared parental, parental bereavement leave and pay, are in the Company's non-contractual policies.

12.1    On the commencement of your employment under this Agreement, you will be entitled to participate in the Company's Private Healthcare Scheme. You may also be entitled to participate in other Company benefit schemes from time to time.

12.2    The benefits in this clause are non-contractual and the terms of each scheme may be varied or the scheme withdrawn. Your entitlements under each of those benefits and any other benefits (including any stock or equity scheme) are subject to the scheme terms and rules as amended from time to time. Further details of these schemes can be obtained from the Human Resources Department.

12.3    Your participation in any schemes that the Company may provide from time to time may be a benefit in respect of which you may be liable to pay income tax and you should seek personal tax advice if you are unsure of their impact.

12.4    The provision of any such scheme that the Company or any Group Company may provide from time to time does not in any way prevent the Company from terminating this Agreement even if to do so, lawfully or unlawfully, would deprive you of membership of or cover under any such scheme in which you have participated. Your participation in such a scheme shall automatically cease (without any entitlement to compensation for loss of rights under the scheme) upon the termination of your employment for any reasons, howsoever caused.

12.5    The decision as to whether benefits are payable under any scheme is for the insurer or Plan administrator. The Company is not obliged to make payment to you under any of such schemes unless it has received full payment from the scheme providers for that purpose.

13.1    The Company intends to comply with its employer pension duties in accordance with Part 1 of the Pensions Act 2008. Unless you opt out, the Company will make a pension contribution equivalent to 7% of the Basic Salary each month during the employment and will require you to make a matched contribution equivalent to 7% of the Basic Salary which will be deducted from your salary each month. The maximum combined pension contribution is £10,000 in any given tax year, and contributions from both you and the Company will cease for the remainder of the tax year once that threshold is met each tax year. There is no cash alternative and you may be required to periodically renew any opt out.

13.2    The Pension Scheme shall be kept under review and changes to it may be made from time to time. The Company reserves the right to terminate or substitute another scheme for the Pension Scheme.

14.1    This Agreement and your employment may be terminated by either party giving the other not less than six months' prior notice in writing.

14.2        You may, at the Company's sole option, be deemed to have resigned if you are absent without authorisation or communication to the Company for more than 5 consecutive days; in that case only, the fifth day of your absence shall be deemed your de facto written notice of resignation, thereby beginning the notice period set forth in Clause 14.1 as if you had submitted that notice in writing.

14.3    Notwithstanding the sub-clauses above, the company may terminate your employment without notice and without payment in lieu of notice or of compensation (and without being required to serve notice or make any payment in lieu of notice or other payment) if (amongst other things):

14.3.1    the Company reasonably believes that you are guilty of gross misconduct including but not limited to: dishonesty, physical violence or threats of violence, theft or fraud, deliberate disclosure of sensitive or confidential information to a third party, or other gross misconduct; or

14.3.2    you are guilty of gross incompetence or wilful neglect of duty, or commit any other serious breach or persistently breach the terms of your employment; or

14.3.3    you act in any manner (whether in the course of your duties or otherwise) which the Company believes is likely to bring you, the Company and/or any Group Company into disrepute or prejudice the interests of the Company or any Group Company; or

14.3.4    you refuse to comply with a lawful instruction given to you by your manager or on behalf of the Company; or

14.3.5    you cease to be entitled to work in the United Kingdom in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Immigration Act 2016 and such other applicable law as may be in effect from time to time.

The foregoing are non-exhaustive examples of conduct that would entitle the Company to terminate your employment summarily. Any delay by the Company in exercising such right to terminate shall not constitute a waiver of it. This clause will not restrict any other right the Company may have (whether at common law or otherwise) to terminate your employment summarily.

14.4    The Company may suspend you from work with pay during any investigation into alleged misconduct, during any disciplinary process and during any redundancy consultation. You will continue to receive Basic Salary and contractual benefits during any such period of suspension.

14.5    The Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, terminate your employment under this Agreement (or, where you have given notice of your resignation bring forward the notified Termination Date), at any time and with immediate effect by notifying you that the Company is exercising its right under this Clause 14 and that it will make you a payment in lieu of notice ("PILON").

14.5.1    The PILON will be equal to the Basic Salary (as at the Termination Date) which you would have been entitled to receive under this Agreement during the notice period referred to at Clause 14.1 (or, if notice has already been given, during the remainder of the notice period) less deductions required and permitted by law. Any PILON will not include any element in relation to any benefit, bonus or commission payment that might otherwise have been due to you (if applicable) and any payment in respect of any pro rata holiday entitlement to which you would have been entitled during the period for which the PILON is made.

14.5.2    This Clause 14.5 applies whether or not notice has been, or will be, served by either you or the Company. You have no automatic entitlement to receive this PILON unless the Company informs you in writing that it has decided to terminate your employment in this way.

14.5.3    For the avoidance of doubt, you and the Company agree that where you have given notice of resignation and the Company has exercised its right to bring forward the Termination Date pursuant to this Clause 14.5, this only alters how and when the resignation takes effect and does not constitute a dismissal by the Company.

14.6    During all or any part of your notice period, regardless whether the notice has been given by you or the Company, the Company may without breaching the terms of this Agreement or giving rise to any claim by you against the Company, exclude you from the work premises, require you not to work and/or not to undertake all or any of your duties of employment, provided that you continue to be paid and enjoy your contractual benefits until your employment terminates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. This is called "Garden Leave". You shall continue to owe the Company all legal duties and obligations (whether express or implied) during any period of Garden Leave. During any period of Garden Leave:

14.6.1    you will continue to receive contractual pay and benefits (but excluding bonus or any entitlement to share options);

14.6.2    the Company will be under no obligation to provide any work to you and you will have no right to perform any services for the Company or any Group Company;

14.6.3    you will remain readily contactable and available for work. In the event that you are not available for work having been so requested by the Company, you will, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, forfeit any right to salary and contractual benefits;

14.6.4    the Company may require you to deliver up any Confidential Information or property of the Company and you will confirm your compliance with this clause in writing if requested to do so by the Company;

14.6.5    the Company may require you to take any outstanding holiday entitlement; and

14.6.6    the Company may announce to employees, suppliers and customers that you have been given notice of termination or have indicated an intention to resign (as the case may be), and may instruct you not to directly or indirectly communicate orally or in writing with suppliers, customers, officers, employees, shareholders, agents or representatives of the Company.

14.7    If you fail to give notice of termination in accordance with this clause, the Company may elect by notice in writing to you not to accept such breach of this Agreement and if such election is made this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

14.8    The termination of your employment will be without prejudice to any right the Company may have in respect of any breach by you of the provisions of this Agreement which may have occurred prior to such termination.

14.9    You will not at any time after the termination of your employment with the Company represent yourself as still having any connection with the Company or any Group Company, save as a former employee for the purpose of communicating with prospective employers or complying with any applicable statutory requirements.
