INDEMNITY

Subject to the terms of this deed, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Director, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in respect of all Liabilities incurred or paid by such Director or on such Director’s behalf (other than those paid by the Company or any of its subsidiaries) arising out of or in connection with any Proceeding brought or threatened against the Director, as a party to or participant in such Proceeding, in any jurisdiction, including by way of any written demand for monetary, non-monetary or injunctive relief, or relating to any Application for Relief, in connection with the Director’s acts or omissions while in the course of acting or purporting to act as a director of the Company or of any of its Subsidiaries or which otherwise arises by virtue of the Director holding or having held such a position (“Claim”).

References in Clause 2.1 to acts or omissions are to acts or omissions made or omitted to be made after the date of this deed, however:

if a company ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company after the date of this deed, the Company shall only be liable to indemnify the Director in respect of Liabilities in relation to that company which were incurred before the date on which that company ceased to be a Subsidiary of the Company; and

the Director, as director of any company which becomes a Subsidiary of the Company after the date of this deed, shall be indemnified only in respect of Liabilities incurred after the date on which that company became a Subsidiary of the Company.

The Director shall continue to be indemnified under Clause 2.1, notwithstanding that the Director may have ceased to be a director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Any obligation on the part of the Company to make a payment to the Director pursuant to Clause 2.1 is conditional upon the Director having made an application in writing to the Company supported by the production of documentation which, in the reasonable opinion of the Board, is satisfactory evidence that:

the relevant Liability has been suffered or incurred by the Director and of the date(s) on which it was suffered or incurred and that it falls within the scope of the indemnity set out in Clause 2.1 and is not excluded by Clause 3.1; and

any legal costs and expenses which are to be reimbursed pursuant to Clause 2.1 were properly incurred and are reasonable in amount.

If the Board is satisfied that the conditions set out in Clause 2.4 have been fulfilled, it shall make payment to the Director within 28 days of the receipt of the evidence referred to in that clause.

EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS

The indemnity in Clause 2.1 shall not apply to:

the extent prohibited by the CA 2006 or otherwise prohibited by law;

any Liability incurred by the Director to the Company or any Associated Company;

a fine imposed in criminal proceedings, or a sum payable to a regulatory authority by way of a penalty in respect of non-compliance with any requirement of a regulatory nature (however arising);

other than as provided in Clause 6.5, any Liability incurred by the Director:

in defending criminal proceedings;

in defending civil proceedings brought by the Company or any Associated Company; or

in connection with any Application for Relief;

any Liability relating to any taxation or national insurance payable by the Director in connection with his remuneration or other payments or benefits received from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

the extent that the Director receives from any other person (including under any policy of insurance) any amount in relation to a Claim, unless such amount is contingent on the Director having first exhausted his rights to indemnification in respect of the relevant Liability under this deed; or

any Liability incurred by, or any Claim made against, the Director which arises out of the Director’s fraud, willful default, willful misconduct, reckless conduct, dishonesty or act of bad faith as determined by a court, tribunal or regulatory authority pursuant to a final and non-appealable adjudication in the underlying action adverse to such Director (“Misconduct”).

NOTIFICATION AND CONDUCT OF CLAIMS

If the Director receives any demand relating to any Claim or becomes aware of any circumstances which might give rise to the Company being required to indemnify the Director under Clause 2.1 and before incurring any costs, charges or expenses in respect of any Claim (including, but not limited to, securing legal representation), the Director shall:

as soon as reasonably practicable, give written notice of the circumstances to the Company, as well as any other information which the Company may reasonably request from time to time;

take all reasonable action to mitigate any Liability suffered by him in respect of the circumstances giving rise to the Claim;

take all such action as the Company may reasonably request to avoid, dispute, resist, appeal or defend any claim and shall not make any admission of liability, agreement or compromise with any person in relation to any Claim without the prior written consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld;

forward all documents received by the Director in respect of the Claim to the Company as soon as reasonably practicable following receipt;

assist the Company as it may reasonably require in resisting, defending or settling the Claim; and

provide to the Company such information about the nature and amount of costs incurred by the Director in respect of a Claim as the Company may reasonably request.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 4.1, the Director shall not be required to provide any documents or information which are personal to or which are otherwise prepared exclusively for the personal use of the director to the Company where doing so would result in a loss of privilege in such documents or information.

The Company or a Subsidiary (as the case may be) will be entitled to take over, negotiate and conduct in the Director’s name the defence or settlement of any Claim or to prosecute in his name for its own benefit any proceedings relating to a Claim.

If the Company or a Subsidiary exercises its rights under Clause 4.3, the Company shall:

consult with the Director in relation to the conduct of the Claim or proceedings on aspects of the Claim or proceedings materially relevant to the Director and keep the Director reasonably informed of material developments in the Claim or proceedings, provided that the Company or Subsidiary shall be under no obligation to provide any information the provision of which is reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s or Subsidiary’s ability to claim in respect of the relevant loss under any applicable policy of insurance;

take into account the Director’s reasonable requests related to the Claim or proceedings (including any settlement) on issues which may be reasonably likely to result in material damage to the Director’s reputation; and

have full discretion in the conduct or settlement of any Claim or proceedings relating to such Claim provided the Director is not required to make any contribution to the settlement and the settlement contains no admission of liability by the Director.

Any failure by the Director to comply with the provisions of this Clause 4 shall not relieve the Company of any obligations under this deed except to the extent that the Company is prejudiced thereby.

PAYMENTS

The Company shall, in the event that a payment is made to the Director under this deed in respect of a particular Liability, be entitled to recover from the Director an amount equal to any payment received by the Director under any policy of insurance or from any other third party source to the extent that such payment relates to the Liability, or if the payment received by the Director is greater than the payment made under this deed, a sum equal to the payment made under this deed. The Director shall pay over such sum promptly upon the Company’s request.

The Company shall pay such amount to the Director as shall after the payment of any tax thereon leave the Director with sufficient funds to meet any Liability to which this deed applies. For the avoidance of doubt, when calculating the amount of any such tax the amount of any tax deductions, credits or reliefs which are or may be available to the Director in respect of the relevant payment under this deed received by the Director or any payment made by the Director to a third party in respect of (or in or towards the discharge of) the relevant Liability, but no other deductions, credits, reliefs or payments, is to be taken into account. In the event that any amount is paid to the Director under this deed but a tax deduction, credit or relief is (or becomes) available to the Director in respect of the relevant payment under this deed, or in respect of any payment made by the Director to a third party in respect of (or in or towards the discharge of) the relevant Liability, which was not taken into account in calculating the amount payable in respect of the relevant payment under this deed, the Director shall promptly make a payment to the Company of such an amount as is equal to the benefit of such deduction, credit or relief which was not taken into account.

FUNDING OF LEGAL COSTS

Subject to the terms of this deed, the Company shall pay to the Director such amounts as are required to meet such legal and other reasonable costs of Restricted Proceedings as are incurred (or are to be incurred) by the Director, subject to the maximum amount permitted, and in accordance with any terms and conditions imposed, by law, under the Articles of Association of the Company or under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange from time to time or such other body as may be applicable, without obtaining shareholder approval.

The Company shall pay such amounts as provided for under Clause 6.1 (“Legal Costs Amounts”) to the Director within 14 days of receiving notice in writing from the Director of the amount required together with such evidence of the costs having been or to be properly incurred as the Company may reasonably require.

All Legal Costs Amounts paid to a Director in respect of particular Restricted Proceedings shall be repaid by the Director if, in respect of those proceedings (as applicable):

the Director is convicted;

judgment is given against the Director; or

the court refuses to grant the Director relief on the application,

The Company shall not be required to pay any amount under this Clause 6, and any amounts paid shall become immediately repayable upon demand from the Company, to the extent that the Board reasonably determines that the Restricted Proceedings arose out of the Director’s Misconduct.

In the event that Restricted Proceedings are either (i) abandoned, withdrawn or discontinued, (ii) settled, (iii) a permanent stay is granted, or (iv) a final, non-appealable adjudication is made (or proceedings otherwise finally conclude) in the underlying action adverse to such Director without any of the events referred to in Clause 6.3(a) to Clause 6.3(c) (as applicable) occurring (each such conclusion of proceedings being a “Favourable Conclusion”) then the indemnity provided under Clause 2.1 shall thereafter apply with respect to all legal and other reasonable costs of those Restricted Proceedings as were incurred by the Director. Any liability of the Company to so indemnify the Director shall be set-off against any liability of the Director to repay to the Company any Legal Costs Amounts outstanding in respect of those Restricted Proceedings; and shall be subject to the exclusions and limitations contained in Clause 3, and Clause 4 shall be applied with such changes as are appropriate.

In the event that a Favourable Conclusion is reached in relation to particular Restricted Proceedings but any Legal Costs Amount paid to the Director in relation to those proceedings remains outstanding in circumstances where the Company is (for any reason) not liable or is no longer liable to indemnify or further indemnify the Director in relation to those Restricted Proceedings, then all such Legal Costs Amounts shall be immediately repayable upon demand from the Company.

D&O INSURANCE

The Company shall purchase and maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) to insure the Director as a director of the Company during the period of the Director’s appointment and for a period of [six] years thereafter to the extent that such insurance can be obtained at such cost and on such terms as the Board considers to be reasonable.

The Company shall not be in breach of its obligations under this Clause 7 where its inability to purchase and maintain D&O Insurance to insure the Director is attributable to a failure by the Director to comply with the Director’s obligations to the insurers or any failure to meet or comply with a condition of the coverage of the D&O Insurance is attributable to acts or omissions of the Director.

The Company shall ensure that the Director is provided at all times with a copy, or a summary of the terms, of the Company’s current D&O Insurance policy, to the extent it relates to the Director.

In the event of any breach of Clause 7.1, the Director acknowledges that the Company’s liability to the Director shall be limited to the extent permissible in accordance with the law, from time to time, and in particular with section 232 of the CA 2006.

In the event that the Director shall have a right to make a claim under the provisions of Clause 2.1 or for breach of Clause 7.1, the Director shall claim first under the provisions of Clause 2.1. Provided to the extent that the Director is not adequately protected under the provisions of Clause 2.1, then the Director shall be entitled subsequently to bring a claim for a breach of Clause 7.1 subject to the exclusions and limitations contained in Clause 3 and Clause 4 shall be applied with such changes as are appropriate.

Nothing in this deed modifies or limits any obligation on the Director under the terms of any applicable D&O Insurance maintained by the Company from time to time. Furthermore, the terms of this deed shall not negate any obligation that the Director might have to assist the Company in complying with any obligations it may have under the terms of the D&O Insurance and the Director shall not take, or fail to take, any action which may prejudice the ability of the Company to recover under any D&O Insurance.

SUBROGATION

the provision of assistance as a witness.]
