without the prior approval of the Board; provided, however, that Executive may
serve in any capacity with any civic, educational or charitable organization, or
as a member of corporate Boards of Directors or committees thereof upon which
Executive currently serves. Executive may serve on a Board of Directors as long
as such activity is non-competitive with the business of the Company and
Executive receives prior approval from the CEO.

            2. Employee Benefits. During the Employment Term, Executive shall be
eligible to participate in the employee and fringe benefit plans and Paid Time
Off (PTO) plan maintained by the Company that are applicable to other senior
management to the full extent provided for under those plans.

            3. At-Will Employment. Executive and the Company understand and
acknowledge that Executive's employment with the Company constitutes "at-will"
employment. Subject to the Company's obligation to provide severance benefits as
specified herein, Executive and the Company acknowledge that this employment
relationship may be terminated at any time, upon written notice to the other
party, with or without good cause or for any or no cause, at the option either
of the Company or Executive.

            4. Compensation.

                  (a) Base Salary. While employed by the Company, the Company
shall pay the Executive as compensation for his services a base salary at the
annualized rate of four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000). The Company will
review Executive's base salary at least once each calendar year starting in
January 2002 and, if it deems it appropriate, increase the base

<PAGE>
salary. Executive's annualized base salary, as adjusted upward as provided
herein, will be referred to as his "Base Salary." Such Base Salary shall be paid
periodically in accordance with normal Company payroll practices and subject to
the usual, required withholding.

                  (b) Bonuses. Executive shall be eligible to participate in the
executive quarterly incentive bonus program, with milestones based in part on
Company performance and in part on Executive's individual performance. At 100%
performance Executive's annual target incentive is $250,000 (the "Target
Bonus"). Target Bonus is guaranteed for the first year of employment. ). The
Company will review Executive's target incentive at least once each calendar
year starting in January 2002 and, if it deems it appropriate, increase the
target incentive.

                  (c) Sign-On Bonus. The Company will pay to Executive five
hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) within thirty days the Employment
Commencement Date.

                  (d) Stock Option. As soon as practicable following the
Employment Commencement Date, Executive shall be granted a stock option (the
"Stock Option") to purchase a total of five hundred thousand (500,000) shares of
Company common stock with a per share exercise price equal to the fair market
value of the shares on the date of grant. The Stock Option shall be for a term
of ten (10) years (or shorter upon termination of employment relationship with
the Company) and, subject to accelerated vesting as set forth elsewhere herein,
shall vest as follows: twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares subject to the
Stock Option shall vest twelve (12) months after the Employment Commencement
Date and one forty-eighth (1/48th) of the shares subject to the Option shall
vest each month thereafter at the end of the month, so as to be one hundred
percent (100%) vested on the four (4) year anniversary of the Employment
Commencement Date, conditioned upon Executive's continued employment with the
Company as of each vesting date. The Stock Option may be exercised prior to
vesting by means of Executive entering into a full-recourse promissory note with
the Company bearing a fair market interest rate specific to Executive (the
"Note"), subject to Executive entering into a standard form of restricted stock
purchase agreement with the Company. Except as specified otherwise herein, this
option grant is in all respects subject to the terms, definitions and provisions
of the Company's 1997 Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Stock Plan") and the
standard form of stock option agreement thereunder (the "Option Agreement"),
which documents are incorporated herein by reference.

                  (e) Restricted Stock. As soon as practicable following the
Employment Commencement Date, Executive shall purchase one hundred thousand
(100,000) shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Restricted Stock"), subject
to the 1997 Statutory Stock Option Plan, at a price of $0.01 per share, which is
equal to the par value of the stock. The stock shall be 100% vested on the
purchase date. As a condition to this purchase, Executive shall pay the Company
sufficient amounts to satisfy related tax-withholding requirements.

                  If Executive so requests, the Company will loan to Executive
such amounts as are necessary to pay all taxes due upon the purchase of the
Restricted Stock. The loan will be made subject to Executive executing a full
recourse promissory note and will be at the lowest interest rate permissible to
avoid imputed income and will be secured by those shares

                                       2
<PAGE>
of stock equal to the amount of the particular loan. The loans will be due two
years after the date of the loans.

                  (f) Severance.

                     1. Termination For Any Reason. Notwithstanding Executive's
   entitlement to severance benefits under certain circumstances discussed below

   reason, the Company shall pay Executive all Base Salary, bonus, and accrued
   but unpaid vacation earned through the date of termination, reimburse
   Executive for all necessary and reasonable expenses in accordance with
   Section 4 and for any other expenses pursuant to this Agreement for which
   reimbursement is still due, and continue Executive's benefits under the
   Company's then-existing benefit plans and policies for so long as provided
   under the terms of such plans and policies and as required by applicable law.

                  2. Upon Termination Other Than for Cause or Resignation for
   Good Reason Prior to Change of Control. If, prior to a Change of Control,
   Executive resigns his employment with the Company for Good Reason or
   Executive's employment is terminated by the Company other than for (x) Cause,
   (y) Executive's death, or (z) Executive's Total Disability, then, subject to
   Executive executing, and not revoking, the Mutual Release of Claims attached
   hereto as Exhibit A with the Company and not materially breaching the
   provisions of Section 15 hereof, (1) Executive's Stock Option, as well as any
   other stock options that he is granted by the Company, shall have their
   vesting accelerated to receive an additional twelve (12) months of vesting,
   (2) Executive shall receive 12 monthly payments, each equal to 1/12 of the
   sum of the Executive's Base Salary plus his Target Bonus, less applicable
   withholding, and otherwise in accordance with the Company's standard payroll
   practices, (3) the Company shall pay the group health, dental and vision plan
   continuation coverage premiums for Executive and his covered dependents under
   Title X of the Consolidated Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended
   ("COBRA") through the lesser of (x) twelve (12) months from the date of
   Executive's termination of employment, or (y) the date upon which Executive
   and his covered dependents are covered by similar plans of Executive's new
   employer; and (4) the Company shall provide Executive with all other Company
   welfare plan and fringe benefits, and continued life insurance, in which
   Executive participated prior to his termination through the lesser of (x)
   twelve (12) months from the date of Executive's termination of employment, or
   (y) the date upon which Executive and his covered dependents are covered by
   similar plans of Executive's new employer, and if Executive is ineligible to
   continue participating in one or more of such benefit plans or programs of
   the Company, the Company shall provide Executive with such benefits on an
   equivalent basis, including a full Tax Gross-Up to Executive (which, after
   deduction of all applicable taxes, will leave a net amount equal to the tax
   payments due) to the extent such benefits constitute taxable income to the
   Executive but were provided to Executive on a non-taxable basis while
   Executive was employed by the Company.

                     3. Upon Termination Other Than for Cause or Resignation for
   Good Reason On or At Any Time Following Change of Control. If, on or at any
   time following a Change of Control, Executive resigns his employment with the
   Company for Good Reason, or Executive's employment with the Company is
   terminated by the Company other than for (x) Cause, (y) Executive's death, or
   (z) Executive's Total Disability, then, subject to

                                       3
<PAGE>
   Executive executing, and not revoking, the Mutual Release of Claims attached
   hereto as Exhibit A with the Company and not materially breaching the
   provisions of Section 15 hereof, the Company shall provide Executive with all
   of the severance benefits listed in Section 7(f)(ii), except that all of the
   remaining unvested shares subject to Executive's Stock Option immediately
   shall have their vesting accelerated in full, and if applicable the Company's
   right to repurchase all of the same such shares immediately shall lapse.

                     4. Upon Termination Due to Death. In the event that
   Executive's employment terminates due to his death, then an additional amount
   of shares equal to fifty percent (50%) of the unvested shares subject to
   Executive's Stock Option immediately shall have their vesting accelerated.

                     5. Resignation Other Than For Good Reason or Termination
   for Cause. Except as otherwise specified in herein, in the event Executive
   terminates his employment other than for Good Reason or Executive's
   employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or due to Executive's Total
   Disability, then all vesting any other equity compensation shall terminate
   immediately and all payments of compensation by the Company to Executive
   hereunder shall immediately terminate (except as to amounts already earned,
   as specified in Section 7(f)(i) above).

                     6. Definitions.

                     Termination for Cause. For the purposes of this Agreement,
a termination of Executive's employment for "Cause" means a termination of
Executive's employment by the Company based upon a good faith determination by
the President that one or more of the following has occurred: a) Executive's
commission of a material act of fraud with respect to the Company in connection
with Executive carrying out his responsibilities as an employee, b) Executive's
conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony, c) Executive's gross
misconduct in connection with the performance of his duties hereunder, or d)
Executive's material breach of his obligations under this Agreement; provided,
however, that with respect to clauses c) and d), the Company must first give
Executive a written notice and explanation specifying the basis for the
President's determination of the existence of "Cause" for termination and then
provide Executive with at least thirty (30) days after delivery of such written
notice and explanation to cure the alleged basis for the President's
determination. A termination of Executive's employment by the Company for any
other reason or under any other circumstances, except Executive's death or Total
Disability, will be a termination other than for Cause.

                     Change of Control. For the purposes of this Agreement,
"Change of Control" is defined as: Any "person" (as such term is used in
Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended)
becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act),
directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty percent
(50%) or more of the total voting power represented by the Company's then
outstanding voting securities; or A change in the composition of the Board
occurring within a two-year period, as a result of which fewer than a majority
of the directors are Incumbent Directors. "Incumbent Directors" shall mean
directors who either i) are directors of the Company as of the date hereof, or
ii) are elected, or nominated for election, to the Board with the affirmative
votes of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors at the time of such
election or nomination (but shall not include an individual whose election or
nomination is in connection with an actual or threatened proxy contest relating
to the election of directors to the Company); or The consummation of a merger or
consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or
consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company

                                       4
<PAGE>
outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by
remaining out-standing or by being converted into voting securities of the
surviving entity) at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power
represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity
outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or The consummation
of the sale by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company's assets.

                     Resignation for Good Reason. For the purposes of this
Agreement, a resignation for "Good Reason" means the resignation by Executive of
his employment within ninety (90) days of the occurrence of any one or more the
following events without Executive's written consent, which consent may be
withheld in Executive's sole discretion: a) a reduction by the Company or a
successor in Executive's Base Salary and/or Target Bonus, b) a material
reduction by the Company or a successor in Executive's benefits, c) a reduction
by the Company or a successor in Executive's title and/or a material reduction
in Executive's authority and/or duties, d) a change in Executive's reporting
relationship such that he no longer reports directly to the President or CEO of
the Company's successor; e) the requirement that Executive relocate more than
thirty-five (35) miles from his then-current office location.

                     Total Disability. For the purposes of this Agreement,
"Total Disability" shall mean Executive's mental or physical impairment which
prevents Executive from performing the responsibilities and duties of his
position for 180 consecutive days or six (6) months in the aggregate during any
twelve (12) month period. Any question as to the existence or extent of
Executive's mental or physical impairment upon which Executive and the Company
cannot agree shall be resolved by a qualified independent physician who is an
acknowledged expert in the area of the mental or physical impairment, selected
in good faith by the Board and approved by Executive, which approval shall not
unreasonably be withheld. Upon the existence and required duration of such Total
Disability, the Company may then terminate Executive's employment for such
reason by giving Executive written notice of termination for such reason.

                     7. Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of (a) the heirs, beneficiaries, executors and legal
representatives of Executive upon Executive's death and (b) any successor of the
Company. Any such successor of the Company shall be deemed substituted for the
Company under the terms of this Agreement for all purposes. As used herein,
"successor" shall include any person, firm, corporation or other business entity
which at any time, whether by purchase, merger or otherwise, directly or
indirectly acquires all or substantially all of the assets or business of the
Company. None of the rights of Executive to receive any form of compensation
payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be assignable or transferable except
through a testamentary disposition or by the laws of descent and distribution
upon the death of Executive. Any attempted assignment, transfer, conveyance or
other disposition (other than as aforesaid) of any interest in the rights of
Executive to receive any form of compensation hereunder shall be null and void.

                     8. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other
communications called for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed

                     13. Non-Binding Mediation, Arbitration and Equitable
Relief.

                     (a) The parties agree to make a good faith attempt to
resolve any dispute or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement
through negotiation.

                     (b) In the event that any dispute or claim arising out
of or related to this Agreement is not settled by the parties hereto, the

connection with this Agreement, or the interpretation, validity, construction,
performance, breach, or termination thereof which has not been resolved by
negotiation or mediation as set forth in Section 13(a) and 13(b) shall be
finally settled by binding arbitration to be held in Santa Clara County,
California in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of
Employment Disputes then in effect of the American Arbitration Association (the
"Rules"). The arbitrator may grant injunctions or other relief in such dispute
or controversy. The decision of the arbitrator shall be confidential, final,

The arbitrator shall apply California law to the merits of any dispute or claim,
without reference to rules of conflict of law. The arbitration proceedings shall
be governed by federal arbitration law and by the Rules, without reference to
state arbitration law. Executive and the Company hereby expressly consent to the
personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in California for
any action or proceeding arising from or relating to this Agreement and/or
relating to any arbitration in which the parties are participants. The Company
shall pay the costs of the arbitration filing and hearing fees and the cost of
the arbitrator, and other expense or cost that is unique to arbitration.

                     (d) Executive understands that nothing in Section 13
modifies Executive's at-will status. Either the Company or Executive can
terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause.

      EXECUTIVE HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS SECTION 13, WHICH DISCUSSES
ARBITRATION. EXECUTIVE UNDERSTANDS THAT BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, EXECUTIVE
AGREES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TO SUBMIT ANY FUTURE CLAIMS ARISING OUT
OF, RELATING TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE INTERPRETATION,
VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION, PERFORMANCE, BREACH, OR TERMINATION THEREOF TO BINDING
ARBITRATION, AND THAT THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF
EXECUTIVE'S RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND RELATES TO THE RESOLUTION OF ALL DISPUTES
RELATING TO ALL ASPECTS OF THE EMPLOYER/EXECUTIVE RELATIONSHIP, INCLUDING BUT
NOT LIMITED TO, THE FOLLOWING CLAIMS: ANY AND ALL CLAIMS FOR WRONGFUL DISCHARGE

                     14. Advisor & Legal Fee Reimbursement. The Company agrees
to directly pay Executive's reasonable advisor and legal fees associated with

                     (a) Covenant Not to Compete. In consideration for the
benefits Executive is to receive herein under Section 4(f) Executive agrees
that, until the end of the twelve month period following the date of his
termination of employment with the Company for

                                       7
<PAGE>
any reason or no reason, Executive will not directly engage in (whether as an
employee, consultant, proprietor, partner, director or otherwise), or have any
ownership interest in, or participate in the financing, operation, management or
control of, any of the following companies: Axent, Agilent, Checkpoint, Concord,
Entrust, ISS, Symantec, Remedy, Heat, Security Dynamics, NetScout, Trend Micro,
Tivoli, Wandel and Goltermann, Intrusion, RSA, Secure Computing and Computer
Associates. Ownership of less than 3% of the outstanding voting stock of any of

benefits Executive is to receive herein Executive agrees that he will not, at
any time during the twelve month period following his termination date, directly
or indirectly solicit any individuals to leave the Company's employ for any
reason or interfere in any other manner with the employment relationships at the
time existing between the Company and its current or prospective employees.
Representations. The parties intend that the covenants contained in Section
13(a) and (b) shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each
county, city and state (or analogous entity) and country of the world. If, in
any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce any of the separate
covenants, or any part thereof, then such unenforceable covenant, or such part
thereof, shall be deemed eliminated from this Agreement for the purpose of those
proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants,
or portions thereof, to be enforced.

                     16. Reformation. In the event that the provisions of this
Section 13 should ever be deemed to exceed the time or geographic limitations,
or scope of this covenant, permitted by applicable law, then such provisions
shall be reformed to the maximum time or geographic limitations, as the case may
be, permitted by applicable laws.

                     17. Reasonableness of Covenants. Employee represents that
he (i) is familiar with the covenant not to compete and the covenant not to
solicit, and (ii) is fully aware of his obligations hereunder, including,
without limitation, the reasonableness of the length of time, scope and
geographic coverage of these covenants.

                     18. No Oral Modification, Cancellation or Discharge. This
Agreement may only be amended, canceled or discharged in writing signed by
Executive and the CEO.

                     19. Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to withhold,
or cause to be withheld, from payment any amount of withholding taxes required
by law with respect to payments made to Executive in connection with his
employment hereunder.

                     20. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the
laws of the State of California without reference to rules relating to conflict
of law.

                     21. Acknowledgment. Executive acknowledges that he has had
the opportunity to discuss this matter with and obtain advice from his private
attorney, has had sufficient time to, and has carefully read and fully
understands all the provisions of this Agreement, and is knowingly and
voluntarily entering into this Agreement.

The Company reserves the right to assign you to duties of a different nature
either additional to or instead of those referred to above, it being understood
that you will not be assigned duties which you cannot reasonably perform.

PLACE OF WORK

As a term of your employment you may be required to work at or from any other of
the Company's current or future establishments. Your manager will inform you
where your initial place of work will be. However, the Company reserves the
right to require you to relocate to another site in the near future. If this
site is less than 50 miles from your existing place of work you will not be
given a relocation allowance.

SALARY

Your base salary will be Pound Sterling 200,000 (per annum) gross, paid on a
monthly basis. You will be entitled to commission to be paid on a monthly basis
one month in arrears, specific details on quota targets and achievement
incentives will be as discussed with your manager and as provided separately in
a Sales Incentive Plan.

Base salary payments will be made on the twenty-sixth day of each month.
Performance reviews will be carried out no less than once per annum during the
first quarter of each calendar year, although there is no commitment on the part
of the Company to increase salaries or your commission structure on an annual
basis.

HOURS OF WORK

Your normal hours of work are 40 hours in a five-day week exclusive of lunch
breaks. The core office hours are 8.30am to 6.00pm, however the times are
negotiable with your manager. You may be required to work additional hours from
time to time.

The Working Time Regulations 1998 ("the Regulations") impose a limit on the
hours which employees can be required to work, and this limit is a maximum of 48
hours over a 7 day period, averaged over 17 weeks.

The Regulations give some workers entitlement to rest breaks. Certain parts of
the Regulations may not apply to certain workers or workers in special
circumstances. Unless you are a worker who is not covered by or who is excluded
from the Regulations or some parts or provisions of the Regulations, you will
have the following entitlements:

                                       1
<PAGE>

(i)     an entitlement to 11 hours rest between each working day;

(ii)    an entitlement to 24 hours rest in each 7 day period;

(iii)   an entitlement to an uninterrupted break of 20 minutes rest if you work
        continuously for more than 6 hours (it is likely that this will be
        covered by your lunch break).

We expect you to take the rest breaks to which you are entitled. If for any
reason you encounter any difficulty in taking your rest breaks, you should
contact the Human Resources Department immediately.

You must obtain the consent of the Chief Executive Officer & President before
you become engaged or employed in, or provide services to, any other business or
organisation. Even if you obtain such consent, you must only work such hours
with all employers so that you enjoy all entitlements you may have under the
Regulations

HOLIDAYS

In addition to statutory public and bank holidays, you are entitled to 22
working days' annual holiday in each calendar year, paid at your normal basic
rate of pay. In the first year of your employment with the Company this will be
prorated based on your date of hire. Holidays not taken at the end of the
twelve-month period may be carried over to the next year, provided they do not
exceed 7 days and are taken within the first quarter of the next year. Holidays
not taken by you or carried over as provided shall be lost.

Holidays must be requested using the Company's official holiday request form
that must be properly authorised and then handed to HR for filing.

With the exception of an employee taking maternity or parental leave, an
employee on unpaid leave of absence does not accrue holiday during any such
period.

Upon leaving the Company, you will be paid for holiday entitlement, which has
accrued but has not been utilised on a pro-rated basis in the current calendar
year. An employee must work more than half the days in a month to be eligible
for holiday to be accrued in that month. Where holiday taken exceeds the
entitlement period, your final pay will be adjusted accordingly and by signing
this Contract of Employment you consent to any deduction necessary from your
final salary.

BENEFITS

As an employee of Network Associates, you are entitled to be covered under the
Group Life Assurance Scheme, the PHI and the Company BUPA scheme the following
month after starting. Under the Company BUPA scheme cover for your dependants
(as defined) is also available if required, the cost of which will be deducted
from your salary. You will also be eligible to join the Group Personal Pension
Plan from the first day of the month following two complete calendar months of
service, details of which are enclosed. You may also be entitled to participate
in the NAI Employee Stock Purchase Plan when you meet the eligibility
requirements, details of which are enclosed.

The Company reserves the right to alter, amend, cancel or vary any of the
benefits provided to you at any time.

SICKNESS, INJURY & SICK PAY

If you are absent from work due to sickness or other medical incapacity the
Company will continue to pay your normal salary ("Company sick pay"). Your
entitlement to Company sick pay increases with length of service and is subject
to your compliance with the Company's sickness reporting procedures set out
below. Company sick pay entitlement in any period of 12 months is as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Length of Service                    Company sick pay entitlement (working days)
-----------------                    -------------------------------------------

Less than 1 year                     5 days

1-3 years                            10 days
</TABLE>

                                       2
<PAGE>

3-5 years                            15 days

5 years and above                    20 days

Thereafter you will be entitled to statutory sick pay subject to the normal
limits.

To qualify for sick pay a Company certification form must support any period of
absence. For periods of absence of 5 working days or more, medical certification
from your GP must be provided.

If your attendance is unsatisfactory because of frequent or continuous sick
absence, whether medically or self-certified, your suitability for continued
employment may be reviewed. No payments will be made in respect of periods of
unauthorised absence from work.

You must ensure that the Company is informed by telephone as early as possible
on the first working day of your illness. The Company's printed sickness form
should be completed and sent to your immediate the Human Resources Director no
later than 7 days after the first day of absence due to illness. It is your
responsibility to notify the Company at the earliest opportunity of the
anticipated duration of absence and in the case of a longer term absence, it is
your responsibility to ensure that the Company is kept informed at least once a
week of your progress and likely date of your return.

treated by either the Company or you as being contractually binding.

DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURE

Repetition of minor breaches will be dealt with by way of written warning. More
serious offences or repeated infringement of Company procedure or requirements
will be dealt with by way of written warning in the first instance. A written
warning in this instance may be connected to or be in itself a final warning and
will be clearly designated as such.

Acts of gross misconduct may result in an employee being suspended at the
Company's discretion without pay or in extreme cases be dismissed without
notice. Acts of gross misconduct likely to give rise to dismissal include, but
are not limited to, theft of any nature, deliberate or negligent misuse of
Company property, persistent refusal to perform reasonable orders from those in
authority, disorderly conduct or abusive language or behaviour.

Dissatisfaction with any disciplinary decisions should be immediately notified
in writing to Human Resources who will investigate the matter. If necessary, a
meeting will be arranged to allow discussion of the matter between the
disagreeing parties. The Human Resources shall be the ultimate arbitrator in any
disciplinary dispute.

At any stage of the Procedure (including dismissal), an employee has a right to
appeal against the disciplinary decision. You should inform the Human Resources
Department in writing within 7 working days of notification of the disciplinary
decision setting out the reasons for the appeal. All appeals will be dealt with
as expeditiously as possible in the circumstances.

Wherever practicable, the appeal will be heard by a more senior level of
Management in the Company than that taking the disciplinary action, whose
decision shall be final within the Company. In no circumstances will the person
dealing with the appeal have been involved in the disciplinary action which is
the subject of the appeal.

The Company will confirm to the employee in writing the results of the appeal,
and will outline the reasons for the decision reached, as soon as practicable
after the appeal has been heard.

GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE

If you are unhappy about any aspect of your employment with the Company you
should raise the matter first with your manager/supervisor. If you are still
unhappy you should take up your grievance with Human Resources whose decision
shall be final.
