the following formula (any fraction of a Deferred Share being

(ii) the Deferred Shares shall:

vote at general meetings;

distributed to the holders of Share capital, but do not confer any
right to participate in any surplus assets of the Company; and
(d) be capable of being purchased by the Company at any time for
an aggregate consideration of 1p (and for such purposes the
Directors may authorise any person to execute on behalf of and as
attorney for the holders of Deferred Shares an appropriate contract
and may deliver it or them on their behalf);
(iii) following the passing of this Resolution 6 and Resolution
11 the articles of association be and are hereby amended so as

Chairman for the purposes of identification and which as at the
date of the meeting will have been on display at the Company's
registered office and available for inspection by members for not
less than 15 days); and
(v) the Company shall not be obliged to issue share certificates
in respect of the Deferred Shares; give any prior notice to the
holders of Deferred Shares that such shares are to be purchased in
accordance with new Article 3.4(d); or account to any holder of
Deferred Shares for the purchase monies in respect of such
shares
and for the purposes of this resolution, words and expressions
defined in the Circular shall have the same meanings in this
resolution, save where the context requires otherwise.

(which expression shall have the meaning ascribed to it in Section
560(1) of CA 2006) for cash pursuant to the authority given in
accordance with Section 551 of CA 2006 by Resolutions 1 and/or 2 as
if Section 561(1) of CA 2006 did not apply to such allotments,
providing that the power provided by this Resolution 7 shall expire
on the fifth anniversary of the date of the passing of this
resolution unless renewed, varied or revoked by the Company in
general meeting.

be and hereby is empowered to make one or more market purchases

meeting of the Company and (ii) the expiry of eighteen months
following the passing of this resolution unless such authority is
renewed prior to such time ; and
(v) the Company may make a contract to purchase Shares under the
authority conferred by this resolution prior to the expiry of such
authority which will or may be executed wholly or partly after the
expiration of such authority, and may make a purchase of such
