	OPERATIVE PROVISIONS
1	Job Title
	The Company shall employ the Employee and the Employee shall serve the Company as Chief Operating Officer of the Company, reporting to the CEO.
2	Period of Employment

2.1	The Appointment commenced on the Commencement Date and, unless terminated earlier under Clause 12, will continue until terminated by either party giving to the other three (3) months’ notice in writing to expire at any time. This Agreement replaces all previous agreements between the Company and the Employee relating to the appointment of the Employee by the Company.
2.2	For the first three (3) months from the Commencement Date, the Employee shall undergo a probationary period (the “Probationary Period”) at the end of which the Employee’s performance will be assessed. Provided that the Employee’s performance is deemed to be satisfactory at the end of the Probationary Period, the Employee’s Appointment shall become permanent. The Company may, at its discretion at any time up until the end of the Probationary Period, extend the Probation Period for such period or periods as the Company deems appropriate. During the Probationary Period, the notice period shall be two (2) months on either side.
2.3	The Company may, at its discretion if it is deemed appropriate at any time during the Probationary Period (or during an equivalent period if the Employee’s role or responsibilities change during the term of the Appointment), carry out a Criminal Records Bureau check (“CRB Check”) on the Employee and require the Employee to complete the necessary paperwork to enable the CRB Check to be completed. In the event that the CRB Check reveals any convictions or other information which the Company reasonably xxxxx xxx make the Employee unsuitable for the role for which the Employee has been appointed, the Company shall be entitled to terminate the Appointment with immediate effect.

2.4 Subject to Clauses 2.5 below, the Company may at any time (whether or not any notice of termination has been given under Clause 2.1) terminate the Appointment with immediate effect by giving notice in writing to the Employee on terms that the Company will pay to the Employee, in lieu of notice under Clause 2.1, basic salary, pension and any payment in respect of other benefits which the Employee would have been entitled to receive during the Notice Period in the amount (subject to applicable statutory deductions) and at the times it would have paid to the Employee if the Company had given notice to terminate the Appointment in accordance with Clause 2.1 or, if notice has previously been given under that Clause, as if the Appointment terminated on the expiry of the remainder of the period of notice ("xxx XXXXX"). For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise stated in this Agreement, the XXXXX shall not include any element in relation to:

2.5 The Employee is obliged to use his reasonable endeavours to seek alternative income during the Notice Period in order to mitigate his loss following termination of the Appointment and to inform the Company if he receives or will receive any payment or benefit during or in relation to the Notice Period. The value of any income and benefits the Executive has received from any employment, consultancy or other appointment during or relating to the Notice Period will be offset against the monthly XXXXX in question. The offset amount will then be paid to the Executive less any applicable statutory deductions.

2.6	If the Executive fails to take all reasonable steps to obtain alternative income, the Company shall have the right to terminate all further instalments of the XXXXX.
2.7	The XXXXX is conditional on the following:
