9.5 Any bonus payments shall not be pensionable.

10. BENEFITS

10.1 The Employee agrees and acknowledges that he is not eligible to participate in, or receive benefits under, the Ensco Savings Plan, including the employer matching and profit sharing provisions thereunder, or the 2005 Supplemental

13

Executive Retirement Plan (the “US Retirement Plans”). During the Appointment the Employee shall be eligible to receive cash payments (the “Cash Payments”) equal to the cash amounts that would have been contributed by the Company on the Employee’s behalf to the US Retirement Plans had the Employee participated in such US Retirement Plans (assuming, for purposes of the calculation of the value of the company matching benefit, that the Employee deferred the maximum amount possible under the plan and the United States Internal Revenue Code and received the corresponding company matching benefit). Such Cash Payments shall be made to the Employee on the first regular payroll date following each date on which the equivalent contributions would have been made or accrued by the Company to the US Retirement Plans had the Employee participated in the US Retirement Plans as of such date during the Appointment. The Cash Payments shall be subject to all applicable deductions and withholding for income tax and National Insurance Contributions. The Employee shall be solely responsible for the payment of any additional taxes or other withholding liabilities arising out of the Cash Payments. In the event that there is a significant change to UK pension rules which would enable the Employee to make payments into the Ensco Limited Retirement Plan, this clause shall be subject to further review by the parties. The Company will comply with its obligations in respect of relevant UK pension legislation.

10.2 The Employee shall be eligible to participate in the same benefit plans and programs in which other executive non-expatriate Company employees who are based in the United Kingdom are eligible to participate, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of the applicable plans and programs in effect from time to time and any applicable HM Revenue & Customs limits and other limits or restrictions under applicable law. The provision of any benefits shall not prevent the Company from terminating the Employee’s employment at any time.

10.3 The Company in its sole and absolute discretion reserves the right to discontinue, vary or amend any benefits plans and programs (including the level of the Employee’s cover) at any time on reasonable notice to the Employee, provided that, subject to clauses 10.2 and 10.4, they are replaced with benefits providing a level of cover to the Employee (and, to the extent applicable, to his spouse, dependents and beneficiaries) equal to those provided to other executive non-expatriate Company employees who are based in the United Kingdom.

10.4 Any insured benefit shall be subject to the Employee or, to the extent applicable, the Employee’s spouse, dependants and beneficiaries, satisfying the normal underwriting requirements of the relevant insurance provider and the premium being at a rate which the Board considers reasonable. If an

14

insurance provider refuses for any reason to provide any insurance benefit to the Employee, the Company shall not be liable to provide to the Employee any replacement benefit of the same or similar kind or to pay any compensation in lieu of such benefit. The Company’s sole obligation in respect of insured benefits is to pay the premium from time to time required by the provider and to pay to the Employee such sums (if any) as may be received by the Company from the provider in respect of any claim made by the Employee under the scheme and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall be under no obligation to take any action to enforce the terms of any insurance or otherwise to procure the benefit of any insurance for the Employee.

10.5 The Employee will continue to receive private medical insurance on the terms applicable to him prior to the Termination Date until the expiry of 24 months following the Termination Date or, if earlier, the date the Employee commences alternative employment which provides such benefits. The provision of benefits under this clause shall only apply if and to the extent that such benefits are provided to employees of the Company for that period, subject always to the terms of the applicable scheme and of any related policy of insurance as in force from time to time. The Company gives no warranty as to the continued existence or extent of such benefits.

11. HOLIDAYS

11.1 The Employee shall be entitled to paid holiday in accordance with the Company’s holiday policy in effect from time to time, but in any event the Employee shall be entitled to not less than 28 days’ paid holiday in each holiday year in addition to the usual public holidays in England. The Company’s holiday year runs between 1 January and 31 December. If the Appointment commences or terminates part way through a holiday year, the Employee’s entitlement during that holiday year shall be calculated on a pro-rata basis rounded up to the nearest whole day.

11.2 Holiday may be taken at such time or times as the Employee may determine in his reasonable discretion taking into account the business needs of the Company, provided that any holiday during which the Employee will be materially incommunicado shall be subject to the prior approval of the Board. The Employee may carry forward up to 5 days accrued but untaken holiday to the subsequent holiday year. The Employee may not without the written consent of the Board carry forward more than 5 days holiday and any accrued but untaken holiday in excess of this at the end of each year shall be forfeited without compensation.

15

11.3 The Employee shall have no entitlement to any payment in lieu of accrued but untaken holiday except on termination of the Appointment. Subject to clause 11.4 the amount of such payment in lieu shall be 1/260th of the Employee’s salary for each untaken day of the entitlement under clause 11.1 for the holiday year in which termination takes place and any untaken days carried forward from the preceding holiday year.

11.4 If the Company has terminated or would be entitled to terminate the Appointment under clause 18.1(a) to (l) or if the Employee has terminated the Appointment in breach of this Agreement any payment due under clause 11.3 shall be limited to the Employee’s statutory entitlement under the Working Time Regulations 1998 and any paid holidays (including paid public holidays) taken shall be deemed first to have been taken in satisfaction of that statutory entitlement.

11.5 If on termination of the Appointment the Employee has taken in excess of his accrued holiday entitlement, the Company shall be entitled to recover from the Employee by way of deduction from any payments due to the Employee or otherwise one day’s pay calculated at 1/260th of the Employee’s salary for each excess day.

11.6 If either party has served notice to terminate the Appointment, the Board may require the Employee to take any accrued but unused holiday entitlement during the notice period. Any accrued but unused holiday entitlement shall be deemed to be taken during any period of Garden Leave under clause 19.

11.7 During any continuous period of absence due to Incapacity of one month or more the Employee shall not accrue holiday under this contract and the Employee’s entitlement under clause 11.1 for the holiday year in which such absence takes place shall be reduced pro rata save that it shall not fall below the Employee’s entitlement under the Working Time Regulations 1998.

12. INCAPACITY

12.1 Subject to the Employee’s compliance with this Agreement and the Company’s sickness absence procedures (as amended from time to time), the Employee shall continue to receive his full salary and contractual benefits during any period of absence due to Incapacity for up to an aggregate of 12 weeks in any 52-week period. Such payment shall be inclusive of any statutory sick pay due in accordance with applicable legislation.

12.2 With respect to any medical condition or suspected medical condition that the Board believes has, or will have, an impact on the Employee’s ability to

16

perform his duties hereunder, the Employee agrees to consent to medical examinations (at the Company’s expense) by a doctor nominated by the Company. The Employee agrees that any report produced in connection with any such examination may be disclosed to relevant personnel within the Company who shall treat it as extremely confidential and not discuss it with anyone outside the Company save that the Company may discuss the contents of the report with the relevant doctor and any relevant legal advisor.

12.3 If the Incapacity is or appears to be occasioned by actionable negligence, nuisance or breach of any statutory duty on the part of a third party in respect of which damages are or may be recoverable, the Employee shall immediately notify the Board of that fact and of any claim, compromise, settlement or judgment made or awarded in connection with it and all relevant particulars that the Board may reasonably require. The Employee shall if required by the Board, refund to the Company that part of any damages or compensation recovered by him relating to the loss of earnings for the period of the Incapacity as the Board may reasonably determine less any costs borne by him in connection with the recovery of such damages or compensation, provided that the amount to be refunded shall not exceed the total amount paid to the Employee by the Company in respect of the period of Incapacity.

12.4 The rights of the Company to terminate the Appointment under the terms of this Agreement apply even when such termination would or might cause the Employee to forfeit any entitlement to sick pay, permanent health insurance or other benefits.

13. OUTSIDE INTERESTS

13.1 Subject to clause 13.2, during the Appointment the Employee shall not, except as a representative of the Company or with the prior written approval of the Board, whether paid or unpaid, be directly or indirectly engaged, concerned or have any financial interest in any Capacity in any other business, trade, profession or occupation (or the setting up of any business, trade, profession or occupation), save that this clause shall not apply to any family business (being a business owned or managed by a member of his immediate family), provided that: (i) the Employee has no management responsibility in such business; (ii) that the business is not similar to or competitive with any business for the time being carried on by any Group Company; and (iii) that the Employee’s engagement, concern or interest in any family business shall not affect the performance of his duties and obligations under this Agreement.

share capital of any company (whether or not it is listed or dealt in on a recognised stock exchange) where such company does not carry on a business similar to or competitive with any business for the time being carried on by any Group Company. The Employee may continue to hold his existing non-executive directorship in Ophir Energy Plc (company number 05047425).

To the extent that they do not vest automatically, the Employee holds them on trust for the Company. The Employee agrees promptly to execute all documents and do all acts as may, in the opinion of the Company, be necessary to give effect to this clause 15.1.

15.2 The Employee hereby irrevocably waives all moral rights under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (and all similar rights in other jurisdictions) which he has or will have in any existing or future works referred to in clause 15.1.

15.3 The Employee irrevocably appoints the Company to be his attorney in his name and on his behalf to execute documents, use the Employee’s name and do all things which are necessary or desirable for the Company to obtain for itself or its nominee the full benefit of this clause. A certificate in writing, signed by any director or the secretary of the Company, that any instrument or act falls within the authority conferred by this Agreement shall be conclusive evidence that such is the case so far as any third party is concerned.

16. CEASING TO BE A DIRECTOR

16.1 Except with the prior approval of the Board, or as provided in the articles of association of any Group Company of which he is a director, the Employee shall not resign as a director of any Group Company.

16.2 If during the Appointment the Employee ceases to be a director of any Group Company (otherwise than by reason of his death, resignation or disqualification pursuant to the articles of association of the relevant Group Company, as amended from time to time, or by statute or court order) the Appointment shall continue with the Employee as an employee only and the terms of this Agreement (other than those relating to the holding of the office of director) shall continue in full force and effect. The Employee shall have no claims in respect of such cessation of office.

19

16.3 The Employee shall, with respect to any period during which he is a member of the Board (and, to the extent coverage is available at commercially reasonable costs, for six years thereafter), be entitled to be covered by a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance on terms no less favourable than those in place from time to time for other members of the Board.

17. PAYMENT IN LIEU OF NOTICE

17.1 Notwithstanding clause 2, the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, terminate the Appointment at any time and with immediate effect by notifying the Employee that the Company is exercising its right under this clause 17.1 and that it will make within 28 days a payment in lieu of notice (the “Payment in Lieu”) to the Employee. This Payment in Lieu will be equal to the basic salary (as at the Termination Date) which the Employee would have been entitled to receive under this Agreement during the notice period referred to at clause 2 (or, if notice has already been given, during the remainder of the notice period), less income tax and National Insurance contributions. For the avoidance of doubt, the Payment in Lieu shall not include any element in relation to:

(a) any ECIP, bonus or commission payments that might otherwise have been due during the period for which the Payment in Lieu is made;

(b) any payment in respect of benefits which the Employee would have been entitled to receive during the period for which the Payment in Lieu is made; and

(c) any payment in respect of any holiday entitlement that would have accrued during the period for which the Payment in Lieu is made.

17.2 The Employee shall have no right to receive a Payment in Lieu unless the Company has exercised its discretion in clause 17.1. Nothing in this clause 17 shall prevent the Company from terminating the Appointment in breach.

17.3 Notwithstanding clause 17.1 the Employee shall not be entitled to any Payment in Lieu if the Company would otherwise have been entitled to terminate the Appointment without notice in accordance with clause 18.1(a) to (l). In that case the Company shall also be entitled to recover from the Employee any Payment in Lieu (or instalments thereof) already made.

18. TERMINATION WITHOUT NOTICE

18.1 The Company may also terminate the Appointment with immediate effect without notice and with no liability to make any further payment to the

20

Employee (other than in respect of amounts accrued due at the Termination Date) if the Employee:

(a) is disqualified from acting as a director or resigns as a director from any Group Company without the prior written approval of the Board;

(g) ceases to be eligible to work in the United Kingdom;

(h) is guilty of any fraud or dishonesty;

(i) acts in any manner which in the reasonable opinion of the Board brings or is likely to bring the Employee or any Group Company materially into disrepute or is materially adverse to the interests of any Group Company;

(j) is in breach of the Bribery Act 2010, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 or the Company’s anti-corruption and bribery policy and related procedures in effect from time to time;

(k) any material violation of the Ensco plc Code of Business Conduct, as amended from time to time;

(l) is guilty of a serious breach of any rules or policies issued by the Company from time to time, including its electronic communications systems polices, policies relating to a drug and alcohol free workplace, and policies relating to harassment, discrimination and retaliation;

21

(m) becomes of unsound mind (which includes lacking capacity under the Mental Capacity Act 2005), or a patient under any statute relating to mental health; or

(n) is unable by reason of Incapacity to perform his duties under this Agreement for an aggregate period of 12 weeks in any 52-week period.

18.2 The rights of the Company under clause 18.1 are without prejudice to any other rights that it might have at law to terminate the Appointment or to accept any breach of this Agreement by the Employee as having brought the agreement to an end. Any delay by the Company in exercising its rights to terminate shall not constitute a waiver thereof.

19. GARDEN LEAVE

19.1 Following service of notice to terminate the Appointment by either party, or if the Employee purports to terminate the Appointment in breach of contract, the Board may by written notice place the Employee on Garden Leave for a maximum period of up to 6 months.

19.2 During any period of Garden Leave:

(a) the Company shall be under no obligation to provide any work to the Employee and may revoke any powers the Employee holds on behalf of the Company or any Group Company;

(b) the Company may require the Employee to carry out alternative duties or to only perform such specific duties as are expressly assigned to the Employee, at such location (including the Employee’s home) as the Company may decide, provided always that any such alternate duties are commensurate with the Employee’s current role and status;

(c) the Employee shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to his basic salary together with all contractual benefits (including any payments in relation to his ECIP) in the usual way and subject to the terms of any benefit arrangement;

(d) the Employee shall remain an employee of the Company and bound by the terms of this Agreement (including any implied duties of good faith and fidelity);

22

(f) the Company may exclude the Employee from any premises of the Company or any Group Company; and

(g) the Company may require the Employee not to contact or deal with (or attempt to contact or deal with) any officer, employee, consultant, client, customer, supplier, agent, distributor, shareholder, adviser or other business contact of the Company or any Group Company, save that he may contact any such person in a purely personal capacity on matters unrelated to any Group Company or any business conducted by any Group Company.

20. SEVERANCE PAYMENT

20.1 Subject to clauses 20.3 to 20.6 (inclusive), the Company shall, within 14 days following the expiry of the Term, pay to the Employee a lump sum severance payment equal to the aggregate of (i) £2,000,000 (two million Great British Pounds) plus (ii) an additional amount to be determined by the Company up to a maximum of £3,000,000 (three million Great British Pounds) based on achievement of synergy targets to be agreed with the Board (less income tax and National Insurance contributions)(the “Severance Payment”).

20.2 The Severance Payment is payable in addition to the Employee’s entitlements under the Long-Term Incentive Plans.

20.3 Notwithstanding clause 20.1, if within 6 months following the Termination Date the Board becomes aware of facts that would otherwise reasonably have entitled the Company to terminate the Appointment in accordance with clause 18.1(a) to (l), the Company shall , at the Board’s sole discretion, recover from the Employee the Severance Payment.

20.4 If at any time during the Appointment the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company for any reason other than one of the reasons specified in clause 18.1(a) to (l) then:

(a) the Employee shall be entitled to payment in respect of salary that would otherwise have been due and payable under clause 7 in respect of the period from the Termination Date to the end of the Term (such payment to be made within 14 days of the Termination Date);

(b) any unvested RSU Awards will vest in full on the Termination Date;

(c) the Employee shall be entitled to payment of ECIP award for the period(s) up to the end of the Term based on the achievement of the performance goals established by the Company under the ECIP for the year(s) in question and the terms of the ECIP.

23

(d) to the extent not previously paid pursuant to clause 20.1 or otherwise, the maximum Severance Payment of £5,000,000 (five million Great British Pounds) (less income tax and National Insurance contributions) will be paid to the Employee within 14 days of the Termination Date.

20.5 If at any time during the Appointment the Employee resigns other than for Good Reason or if the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company for one of the reasons specified in clause 18.1(a) to (l) then no such further sums shall be payable under this Agreement and all unvested RSU Awards will be forfeited.

20.6 In the event of the Employee’s death at any time during the Appointment or if the Appointment ends as a consequence of permanent disability or incapacity (date of death or of termination of employment being the “Event Date”), the Company shall: (A) in the case of death, make payment in respect of the following sums to the Employee’s personal representatives within 14 days of the later of (i) the Event Date or (ii) the date on which the Company has been provided with the details of the Employee’s personal representatives following the Event Date (save in the case of any sum under clause 20.6(c) which shall be paid at the same time and on the same basis as for all other eligible employees); or (B) if the Appointment ends as a consequence of permanent disability or incapacity, make payment of the following sums to the Employee within 14 days of the Event Date (save in the case of any sum under clause 20.6(c) which shall be paid at the same time and on the same basis as for all other eligible employees):

(a) an amount in respect of salary that would otherwise have been due and payable to the Employee under clause 7 in respect of the period from the Event Date to the end of the Term;

(b) the maximum Severance Payment of £5,000,000 (five million Great British Pounds) (less income tax and National Insurance contributions); and

(c) payment of ECIP award for the period(s) up to the end of the Term based on the achievement of the performance goals established by the Company under the ECIP for the year(s) in question and the terms of the ECIP. For the avoidance of doubt, ECIP shall be paid at the same time and on the same basis as for all other eligible employees and not within 14 days of the Event Date.

Any unvested RSU Awards will vest in full on the Event Date.

21. OBLIGATIONS ON TERMINATION

21.1 On termination of the Appointment (however arising) or, if earlier, at the start of a period of Garden Leave, the Employee shall:

24

(a) resign immediately without compensation from any directorship, office or trusteeship that he holds in or on behalf of any Group Company;

(b) subject to clause 21.2, immediately deliver to the Company all documents, books, materials, records, correspondence, papers and information (on whatever media and wherever located) relating to the business or affairs of any Group Company or its business contacts, any keys, credit card and any other property of any Group Company, which is in his possession or under his control;

25

22. POST-TERMINATION RESTRICTIONS

22.1 In order to protect the Confidential Information and business connections of the Company and each Group Company to which he has access as a result of the Appointment, the Employee covenants with the Company (for itself and as trustee and agent for each Group Company) that he shall not at any time during the 12 month period after the Termination Date:

(a) solicit or endeavour to entice away from the Company or any Group Company the business or custom of a Restricted Customer with a view to providing goods or services to that Restricted Customer in competition with any Restricted Business;

(b) offer to employ or engage or otherwise endeavour to entice away from the Company or any Group Company any Restricted Person; or

(c) employ or engage or otherwise facilitate the employment or engagement of any Restricted Person, whether or not such person would be in breach of contract as a result of such employment or engagement;

(d) in any Capacity carry on or be concerned or engaged or interested in any part of any trade, profession, individual, partnership, firm, corporation, business or other entity which competes with any part of Restricted Business in the Restricted Area;

(e) in any Capacity carry on, own, manage, operate, join, control, participate in, loan money to, sell or lease equipment to, sell or lease real property to any trade, profession, company, partnership, firm, corporation, business or other entity which competes with any part of the Restricted Business in the Restricted Area; or

(f) be involved with or engaged in the provision of goods or services to (or otherwise have any business dealings with) any Restricted Customer in the course of any business concern which is in competition with any Restricted Business.

22.2 The Employee covenants that he shall not, at any time after Termination Date, represent himself as connected with the Company or any Group Company in any Capacity, other than as a former employee, or use any registered business names or trading names associated with the Company or any Group Company.

22.3 Except to the extent required by law, the Employee covenants that he shall not, at any time after the Termination Date, make any public statements (or authorise any statements to be reported as being attributed to him) that are critical, disparaging or derogatory about, or which injure the reputation of, any Group Company or any of their owners, investors, employees, directors, officers or customers.

26

22.4 None of the restrictions in clause 22 shall prevent the Employee from being engaged or concerned in any other business concern, provided that the Employee’s duties or work shall relate solely to services or activities of a kind which are not competitive with the Restricted Business.

22.5 The restrictions imposed on the Employee by this clause 22 apply to him acting:

(a) directly or indirectly; and

(b) on his own behalf or on behalf of, or in conjunction with, any firm, company or person.

22.6 The periods for which the restrictions in clause 22 apply shall be reduced by any period that the Employee spends on Garden Leave immediately before the Termination Date.

22.7 If the Employee receives an offer to be involved in a business concern in any Capacity during the Appointment, or before the expiry of the last of the covenants in this clause 22, the Employee shall give the person making the offer a copy of this clause 22 and shall tell the Company the identity of that person as soon as possible.

22.8 The Company and the Employee entered into the restrictions in this clause 22 having been separately legally advised. The Employee agrees that the restrictions in this clause 22 are reasonable as regards their duration, extent, geographical area, scope of activity and application for the protection of the legitimate business interests of the Company or any Group Company (including, without limitation, in light of the nature and wide geographic scope of the Company’s business activities, the Employee’s level of control over and contact with the business, and the amount of remuneration, trade secrets and Confidential Information that the Employee will receive in connection with the performance of his duties under this Agreement and the Company’s or any Group Company’s goodwill with which the Employee will become further associated). In particular, and without limiting the foregoing, the Employee expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Restricted Business is carried on by the Company throughout the Restricted Area and that the definition of Restricted Area in this Agreement is reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company and the Group Companies.

22.9 Each of the restrictions in this clause 22 is intended to be separate and severable. If any of the restrictions shall be held to be void but would be valid if part of their wording were deleted, such restriction shall apply with such deletion as may be necessary to make it valid or effective.

27

22.10 If the Employee’s employment is transferred to any firm, company, person or entity other than a Group Company (the “New Employer”) pursuant to the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006, the Employee will, if required, enter into an agreement with the New Employer containing post-termination restrictions corresponding to those restrictions in this clause 22, protecting the confidential information, trade secrets and business connections of the New Employer provided that the restrictions with the New Employer are commensurate with those already in place.

22.11 The Employee agrees, during and after the termination of his employment, to provide such assistance as the Company or any Group Company may require in the conduct of any internal investigation, arbitration, inquiry and/or the defence or prosecution of any current or future claim that may be made against, or brought by, the Company or any Group Company, where the Employee has in his possession any information or knowledge which the Company or any Group Company reasonably considers is relevant to any such investigation or proceedings (including, without limitation, by giving statements, meeting with the Company or any Group Company’s legal or professional advisers, and attending and giving evidence at any legal proceedings). The Employee’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses properly incurred in providing assistance pursuant to this clause 21.11 will be reimbursed by the Company, subject to the production of appropriate receipts, and, unless the Employee is acting under subpoena or court order, the Employee will be reimbursed based on a to be agreed-upon hourly rate in the event he provides assistance pursuant to this clause 21.11 to any Group Company at the Company’s request following the termination of his employment.

22.12 The Employee will, at the request and expense of the Company, enter into a separate agreement with any Group Company in which he agrees to be bound by restrictions corresponding to those restrictions in this clause 22 (or such of those restrictions as the Company deems appropriate) in relation to that Group Company, provided that those new restrictions would be commensurate with those already in place.

23. DISCIPLINARY AND GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES

23.1 The Employee is subject to the Company’s disciplinary and grievance procedures, copies of which are available from the Company’s Human Resources Department. These procedures do not form part of the Employee’s contract of employment.

28

23.2 If the Employee wants to raise a grievance, he may apply in writing to the Board in accordance with the Company’s grievance procedure.

23.3 If the Employee wishes to appeal against a disciplinary decision he may apply in writing to Board in accordance with the Company’s disciplinary procedure.

23.5 During any period of suspension:

(a) the Employee shall continue to receive his basic salary and all contractual benefits in the usual way and subject to the terms of any benefit arrangement;

(b) the Employee shall remain an employee of the Company and bound by the terms of this Agreement;

(c) the Employee shall ensure that the Board knows where he will be and how he can be contacted during each working day (except during any periods taken as holiday in the usual way);

(d) the Board may exclude the Employee from his place of work or any other premises of the Company or any Group Company; and

(e) the Board may require the Employee not to contact or deal with (or attempt to contact or deal with) any officer, employee, consultant, client, customer, supplier, agent, distributor, shareholder, adviser or other business contact of the Company or any Group Company, other than in a purely personal capacity on matters unrelated to any Group Company or any business conducted by any Group Company.

24. DATA PROTECTION

24.1 The Employee acknowledges and agrees that in order to keep and maintain records relating to the Appointment, it will be necessary for the Company to record, keep and process personal data (which may include special category data as defined by the Data Protection Act 2018 and the General Data Protection Regulation (EU 2016/679)) relating to the Employee, in hard or soft copy, including without limitation data such as references, bank details and other personal details. This personal data will be held for administration purposes; for the provision of management information for business purposes or in connection with any other legitimate interests, such as marketing

29

activities, corporate planning or in relation to any actual or potential sale of the Company; and to permit the Company to comply with its legal obligations.

24.2 The Employee acknowledges that to the extent that it is reasonably necessary in connection with the Appointment and/or the performance of the Company’s responsibilities as an employer and/or in connection with any other legitimate interest, provided the Company complies with its obligations under the Data Protection Act 2018 and the General Data Protection Regulation, the Company may:

(a) disclose the Employee’s personal and special category data to others, including without limitation other employees of the Company, Group Companies, the Company’s professional advisers, pension scheme providers, product or service providers, potential or future employers, potential purchasers of the Company or any Group Company or the business in which the Employee works, other third parties (such as payroll processors and/or any actual or prospective purchasers), Government bodies, including, without limitation, HM Revenue & Customs, the pensions regulator, industry bodies and other regulatory and non-regulatory authorities; and

(b) transfer such data outside the European Economic Area to Group Companies, service providers and other third parties which may be located in countries that do not have laws to protect the Employee’s data. Where such transfer takes place the Company shall take appropriate steps to satisfy itself that the entity to which the Employee’s personal and sensitive data is transferred has in place the appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect such data against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss or destruction of or damage to the data.

25. COLLECTIVE AGREEMENTS

There is no collective agreement which directly affects the Appointment.

26. RECONSTRUCTION AND AMALGAMATION

If the Appointment is terminated at any time by reason of any reconstruction or amalgamation of the Company or any Group Company, whether by winding up or otherwise, and the Employee is offered employment with any concern or undertaking involved in or resulting from the reconstruction or amalgamation on terms which (considered in their entirety) are no less favourable to any material extent than the terms of this Agreement, the Employee shall have no claim against the Company or any such undertaking arising out of or connected with the termination.

30
