Appendix A

19 June 2002

Mr Keith Williams Mervyn Walker
Director for People

Dear Keith

I am writing to explain the pension arrangements the Company is putting in place for you:

• The Company will provide a pension, payable from your Normal Retirement Age, calculated on the basis applicable to you under the rules of NAPS (assuming a standard 1/56 rate of NAPS accrual), except that it will be based on your abated uncapped, rather than capped, based salary.

• The total pension will escalate when in payment at the standard NAPS rate.

• You will pay pension contributions at the standard NAPS rate on your abated uncapped basic salary.

• The arrangements for ill-health retirement, death in service and spouse’s pension will be consistent with the standard arrangement in NAPS except that they will be based on your abated uncapped basic salary.

• The pension will be provided from NAPS to the maximum extent permitted by Inland Revenue rules.

• The excess above the Inland Revenue limit will be provided by the Company through an unapproved unfunded retirement benefit scheme.

If you have participated in the NAPS AVC, flexible accrual or SM uplift arrangements, the benefits you have earned to date will be included in the NAPS part of your pension and the Company-paid element of your pension will be increased to reflect the value of those benefits. The Company expects you to cease participation in those arrangements in respect of your future service. If you choose to continue participation, the value of the Company element of your pension will not be increased to reflect the value of the future benefits you earn.
