Due to the nature of your job it is likely that you will create or be involved in creating Work during your employment.

and will in either case at the request and expense of the Company do everything necessary to vest all right, title and interest in any Work in the Company or its nominees (as legal and beneficial owner) and to defend its rights in those works and to secure appropriate protection anywhere in the world.

If there is any doubt as to whether such a document (or other thing) has been carried out within the authority conferred by this clause 13.12, a certificate in writing (signed by any director or the secretary of the Company) will be sufficient to prove that the act or thing falls within that authority.


14.

PAYMENT IN LIEU OF NOTICE


14.1

Notwithstanding clause 2.1, 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 14 and that it will make within 28 days a payment in lieu of notice (Payment in Lieu), or the first instalment of any Payment in Lieu, to the Employee.

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

14.3

The Employee shall have no right to receive a Payment in Lieu unless the Company has exercised its discretion in clause 14.1. Nothing in this clause 13 shall prevent the Company from terminating the Appointment for breach.


14.4

Notwithstanding clause 14.1 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 15. In that case the Company shall also be entitled to recover from the Employee any Payment in Lieu (or instalments thereof) already made.


15.

TERMINATION WITHOUT NOTICE


15.1

Notwithstanding clause 2.1, the Company may terminate the Appointment with immediate effect without notice and with no liability to make any further payment to the Employee (other than in respect of amounts accrued due at the date of termination) if the Employee:
