4.3 All notes, memoranda, and other records (however stored) made by the Executive during his employment with the Company and which relate to the business of the Group will belong to the relevant member of the Group and will promptly be handed over to the Company (or as the Company directs) from time to time on request and at the end of the Appointment, without copies being kept by the Executive or anyone else on his behalf. The Executive agrees, on return of such records, to give an undertaking that he has not retained any Confidential Information or any copies of it.

5. LOCATION

6. SALARY

6.1 The Company will pay to the Executive a salary at the rate of $1,550 per day spent on performing his duties under this Agreement, including any director’s fees to which he may be entitled as a director of the Group. It is anticipated that the Executive will spend twenty (20) days per calendar year performing his duties under this Agreement, therefore the Company will pay the Executive the sum of $31,000 per calendar year by equal instalments in arrears at the end of each month, subject to such deductions and withholdings as may be required by law or under the terms of this Agreement. Should the Executive notify the Remuneration Committee that he has spent a materially different amount of time to that set out above in performing his duties under this Agreement in a calendar year, the Remuneration Committee will review the salary paid under this Agreement for the calendar year in question.

6.2 The Remuneration Committee will review the Executive’s salary annually, but such review does not necessarily imply an increase. The review will take account of such factors as the Remuneration Committee considers, in its absolute discretion, to be appropriate, which may include anticipated future performance or service and/or past performance of the Executive and/or the Company and/or the Group, although it has no obligation to take any of these factors into account. Any increase in the rate of the Executive’s salary will normally be effective from 1 January in each year following the review.

6.3 The Group may deduct from any money owed to the Executive any money which the Executive, owes or may be owing to the Company or any other member of the Group and may set off such sums against his salary from GW Pharmaceuticals Inc.

(b) “Executive Intellectual Property” means all Intellectual Property which the Executive alone or with one or more others may make, originate, suggest, devise or develop during the period of his employment (whether or not made, originated or developed during normal working hours) and which affect or relate to or connect to the business of the Group from time to time or are capable of being used or adapted for use in it, other than any Executive Inventions; and

(c) “Executive Invention” means all inventions (which term bears the same meaning as in the Patents Act 1977) which the Executive alone or with one or more others may make, originate, suggest, devise or develop either in the course of (i) his normal duties where an invention might reasonably be expected to result from the carrying out of his duties or (ii) duties falling outside his normal duties, but specifically assigned to him where an invention might reasonably be expected to result from the carrying out of his duties or (iii) duties where, at the time of making the invention, because of the nature of his duties and the particular responsibilities arising from the nature of his duties he had a special obligation to further the interests of the Company and/or the Group.

10

12.2 Any Executive Intellectual Property and any Executive Inventions will be notified and disclosed by the Executive to the Company in an appropriate manner (bearing in mind the need to keep inventions confidential) as soon as it comes into existence, and the Executive will keep any such Executive Intellectual Property or Executive Inventions confidential. In the case of Executive Inventions the notification and disclosure obligations in this Clause 12.2 apply irrespective of whether the Company is entitled to ownership of such Executive Invention by virtue of s39 Patents Act 1977. If the Company is not entitled to ownership, it shall keep the information confidential in accordance with Clause 4 of this Agreement (unless otherwise agreed).

12.3 Save as provided by law and in particular as provided by the Patents Act 1977, all Executive Inventions or Executive Intellectual Property will belong to the Company. Insofar as permissible by law, the Executive hereby assigns to the Company absolutely with full title guarantee and free from all encumbrances (by way of present assignment of all future rights) all rights, title and interest in and to the Executive Invention and Executive Intellectual Property. Any Executive Invention or Executive Intellectual Property which cannot be assigned to the Company in accordance with this Clause 12.3 will insofar as permissible by law be held on trust by the Executive for the benefit of the Company (or relevant member of the Group) until the same are vested absolutely in the Company.

12.4 The Executive acknowledges, including for the purpose of s39 Patents Act 1977, that because of the nature of his duties and the particular responsibilities arising from those duties, his employment with the Company carries with it a special obligation to further the interests of the Company and other members of the Group.

12.5 The Executive undertakes that, at the Company’s expense and upon request (whether during or after the termination of the Appointment), he will execute such documents, make such applications, give such assistance and do such acts and things as may be necessary to enable the Company or relevant member of the Group to enjoy the full benefit of this Clause 12.5, whether during or after termination of the Appointment. This will include the giving of assistance or advice (including giving evidence if so required) in connection with:

(a) the prosecution of any applications for the registration of;

(b) any claims or proceedings brought to prevent or bring to an end the infringement of;

(c) all steps necessary to assign; and/or;

(d) any claims or proceedings concerning or affecting the validity of,

any Executive Intellectual Property and/or any rights in any Executive Invention.

11

12.6 Should the Executive fail to comply with a request under Clause 12.5, the Executive hereby grants to any duly authorised representative of the Company an irrevocable power of attorney to sign any documents and take such other steps as are necessary to give effect to this Clause 12.

12.7 Immediately upon the termination of the Appointment or earlier at the Company’s request, the Executive will deliver up to the Company the subject matter of, and all data relating to, all Executive Intellectual Property and Executive Inventions (including all related documents and materials and, in the case of software, all source code in a format or formats reasonably requested by the Company) in the Executive’s possession, custody or power; and ensure that all know-how relating to all Executive Intellectual Property and Executive Inventions is recorded on the Company’s know-how systems or otherwise communicated or made available to the Company.

12.8 Following termination of the Appointment, the Executive:

(a) will make himself available to explain know-how or other aspects of any Executive Intellectual Property and/or Executive Inventions, if reasonably requested by the Company; and

(b) will keep all Executive Intellectual Property and Executive Inventions confidential unless or until they are disclosed in the public domain or otherwise cease to be confidential through no fault or act of the Executive.

12.9 The Executive irrevocably waives all moral rights which he might otherwise have or be deemed to have under Chapter IV Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 or under any other similar law anywhere in the world.

12.10 Save as provided by law and set out herein, the Executive has no rights to additional remuneration or compensation in respect of any Executive Intellectual Property or Executive Invention.

13. TERMINATION

13.1 The Appointment will continue until either party gives to the other not less than six months’ written notice. Subject to future approval from the Remuneration Committee, we would expect to increase this notice period to twelve months after you served for two years as an Executive Director.

12

13.2 The Company may, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and irrespective of whether the grounds for termination arose before or after the Appointment began, at any time by notice in writing to the Executive terminate the Appointment with immediate effect :-

(g) if he behaves in a manner (whether on or off duty) which is likely to bring the Group into disrepute or prejudice its interests or which seriously impairs his ability to perform his duties.

13.3 If the Company wishes to terminate the employment of the Executive or if the Executive wishes to leave the employment of the Company in either case before the expiry of the period of notice specified in Clause 13.1 and whether or not notice has been given under that Clause, the Company may require the Executive:

He will continue to receive his salary and other contractual entitlements except for any bonus under Clause 7 and will continue to be bound by all the terms of this Agreement. He will not directly or indirectly work for any person, have any contact with any customer of the Group or, for business purposes, have contact with any employee of the Group without the prior written agreement of the Board. If the Executive is not required to attend for work under this Clause the Company shall be entitled to offset any outstanding accrued holiday due to the Executive for each day of non-attendance.

He will, on being requested to do so, send to the Company Secretary a signed statement that he has complied with this sub-clause;

14.2 Upon the termination of the Appointment or (if earlier) upon either party giving notice under Clause 13.1 and the Company exercising its rights under Clause 13.3, the Executive will resign at the request of the Company, without claim for compensation, from all offices held by him in the Group and from all trusteeships held by him of any pension scheme or other trusts established by the Company or any other member of the Group. Should he fail to do so the Board is irrevocably authorised to appoint a person in his name and on his behalf to sign any documents and take such other steps as are necessary to give effect to such resignations. Such resignations will be given and accepted without prejudice to any claims which the Company and the Executive may have arising out of or in connection with the Appointment and its termination.

14.3 Upon the Termination of the Appointment, the Executive will have no rights as a result of this Agreement or any alleged breach of this Agreement to any compensation under or in respect of any share options or long term incentive plans in which he may participate or have received grants or allocations at or before the date the Appointment terminates.

18.3 Each sub-clause and part of such sub-clause of this Clause constitutes an entirely separate and independent restriction and does not operate to limit any other obligation owed by the Executive, whether that obligation is express or implied by law. If any restriction is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, it is intended and understood by the parties that such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect the remaining restrictions.

18.4 The Executive acknowledges that each of the restrictions in this Clause go no further than is necessary for the protection of the Company’s and each other member of the Group’s legitimate business interests.

18.5 Before accepting any offer of employment, either during the Appointment or during the continuance of the restrictions in this Clause 18, the Executive will immediately provide to the person making such offer a complete signed copy of this Agreement.

18.6 Where the Executive’s employment transfers to an employer other than the Company pursuant to TUPE, the new employer may amend the restrictions, taking into account the new employer’s business, to ensure that the restrictions in Clause 18 continue to go no further than is necessary for the protection of the legitimate interests of the new employer (and any group of which it is a member). Subject to any such amendment, or if no such amendment is made, the parties agree that, following such TUPE transfer, the interpretation of the restrictions in Clause 18 will depend on whether the Relevant Period includes a period prior to the TUPE transfer. If it does not include such a period, then the references to the Company and Group shall be understood to refer to the new employer and any Group of which it is a member. Otherwise, the references to the Company and the Group shall be understood to refer to the new employer and any group in which it is a member only in respect of the portion of the Relevant Period following the date of the transfer, and the references to the Company and the Group shall apply in respect of the remainder of the Relevant Period to the employer and the Group as they were immediately prior to the date of transfer.

19. CONTINUING OBLIGATIONS

The termination of the Appointment will not affect the rights or remedies of either party against the other in respect of any antecedent breach of any of its provisions or the continuing obligations of the Executive or the Company (as the case may be) under any provision of this Agreement expressed to have effect after the Appointment has terminated.
