7.3.1 within the period of 30 days beginning with the date on which the Option is exercised, the Employing Company is able to withhold the amount of the liability from payment of the Optionholder’s remuneration; or

7.3.2 the Optionholder has indicated (either in the Notice of Exercise or other manner as the Company may specify) that he or she will make a payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Option Tax Liability and the Optionholder does, within 14 days of being notified by the Company of the amount of the Option Tax Liability, make such payment to the Company; or

7.3.3 the Optionholder has authorised (either in the Notice of Exercise or other manner as the Company may specify) the Grantor to sell, as agent for the Optionholder (at the best price which can reasonably be expected to be obtained at the time of sale), such number of the Shares acquired on exercise necessary to reimburse the Employing Company and to procure payment of monies sufficient to satisfy the indemnity in Rule 7.2 the Employing Company out of the net proceeds of sale of such Shares (after deducting fees, commissions and expenses incurred in relation to the sale)

(b) a general offer to acquire all the shares in the Company which are of the same class as the Shares,

any Option may, subject to Rules 8.6 be exercised immediately before such change of Control or within six months thereafter. For the purposes of this Rule 9.1 only and not otherwise a person shall be deemed to have obtained Control of the Company if he and others acting in concert with him have together obtained Control of it.

8.2 If, under section 425 of the Companies Act 1985 (or closely comparable overseas legislation as agreed by HMRC), the Court sanctions a compromise or

arrangement proposed for the purposes of or in connection with a Plan for the reconstruction of the Company or its amalgamation with any other company or companies, any Option may, subject to Rule 8,6 be exercised immediately prior to the Court sanctioning such compromise or arrangement or within six months thereafter.

8.3 If any person becomes bound or entitled to acquire shares in the Company under sections 428 to 430 of the Companies Act 1985 (or closely comparable overseas legislation as agreed by HMRC) any Option may, subject to Rule 8.6 be exercised at any time when that person remains so bound or entitled.

8.4 If the Company passes a resolution for voluntary winding up, any Option may be exercised within six months of the passing of the resolution. Alternatively, if the Committee in their discretion but acting fairly and reasonably in the interests of Optionholders so determine, in the event that the Company gives notice to its shareholders of a meeting at which a resolution for the voluntary winding up of the Company (“Winding Up Resolution”) is to be proposed, the Company may also give notice to such Optionholders as the Committee shall select and any Optionholders in receipt of such notice may exercise their Options prior to the passing of the Winding Up Resolution, but conditionally on its being passed, to the intent that they will be entitled to share in the assets of the Company with the other shareholders on the same basis as if they had been the registered holders of the relevant Shares immediately prior to the passing of the Winding Up Resolution.

8.5 If any of the events mentioned in Rules 8.1 to 8.3 is a result of an internal reorganisation no Options shall be exercisable pursuant to Rules 8.1 to 8.3 by reason of such internal reorganisation provided that this Rule 8.5 shall only apply if all Optionholders are given the opportunity as a result of such internal reorganisation to exchange their Options in accordance with Rule 9. For the purposes of this Rule 8.5 “internal reorganisation” means any event which results in the Company coming under the Control of another company where the holders of more than ninety per cent. of the issued share capital in that other

company immediately after the internal reorganisation held more than ninety per cent. of the issued share capital in the Company immediately prior to the internal reorganisation.

9. EXCHANGE OF OPTIONS ON A TAKEOVER

9.1 Notwithstanding the provisions of Rule 8, if any company (“the Acquiring Company”) obtains Control of the Company or becomes bound or entitled to acquire shares in the Company within any of the sets of circumstances specified in Rules 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3, any Optionholder may at any time within the periods specified in those Rules, by agreement with the Acquiring Company, release his Option (“the Old Option”) in consideration of the grant to him of a new option (“the New Option”) which is equivalent to the Old Option (by virtue of satisfying the requirements of paragraph 27 of Schedule 4) but relates to shares in a different company (whether the Acquiring Company itself or some other company falling within paragraph (b) or (c) of paragraph 16 of Schedule 4).

9.2 Any conditions imposed by the Committee pursuant to Rule 4 shall continue to apply in relation to the New Options unless the Committee acting fairly and reasonably decide otherwise.

9.3 Where any New Options are granted pursuant to Rule 9.1 they shall be regarded for the purposes of the subsequent application of the provisions of this Plan as having been granted at the time when the corresponding Old Options were granted and, with effect from the date on which the New Options are granted:

(a) save for the definitions of “Group Company” and “Performance Period” in Rule 1 and the reference to “Company” in Rule 4, all other references to “the Company” (including the definition in Rule 1) shall be construed as being references to the Acquiring Company or such other company to whose shares the New Option relate; and

(b) their Exercise Price;

(c) where an Option has been exercised but no Shares have been allotted or transferred in satisfaction of such exercise, the number of Shares to be so allotted or transferred and their Exercise Price;

may, subject to the prior approval of HMRC, be varied in such manner as the Committee shall determine, provided that no variation shall be made which would result in the Exercise Price for an allotted Share being less than its nominal value.

10.2 Any adjustment made to the Exercise Price of unissued Shares which would have the effect of reducing the Exercise Price to less than the nominal value of the Shares shall only be made if and to the extent that the Committee are authorised to capitalise from the reserves of the Company a sum equal to the amount by which the nominal value of the Shares in respect of which the Option is exercisable exceeds the adjusted Exercise Price. The Committee may apply such sum in paying up such amount on such Shares so that on the exercise of any Option in respect of which such a reduction shall have been made, the Committee shall capitalise such sum (if any) and apply the same in paying up such amount as aforesaid.

10.3 Where an Option subsists over both issued and unissued Shares, an adjustment may be only be made under Rule 10.2 if the reduction of the Exercise Price in relation to Options over both issued and unissued Shares can be made to the same extent.

10.4 The Committee may take such steps as they consider necessary to notify Optionholders of any adjustment made under this Rule 11 and to call in, cancel, endorse, issue or re-issue any option certificate consequent upon such adjustment.

11. ADMINISTRATION

11.1 The Committee shall have power from time to time to make and vary such regulations (not being inconsistent with this Plan) for the implementation and administration of this Plan as they think fit.

(c) obtain or maintain favourable tax exchange control or regulatory treatment for the Company or any Group Company or any Optionholder,

without the need for the prior approval of the Company in general meeting or the consent of Optionholders.

13.3 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan:

(a) this Plan shall not form part of any contract of employment between any Group Company and any employee of any such company and the rights and obligations of any individual under the terms of his office or employment with any Group Company shall not be affected by his participation in this Plan or any right which he may have to participate in it and this Plan shall afford such an individual no additional rights to compensation or damages in consequence of the termination of such office or employment for any reason whatsoever;
