Constitution of the Notes

2.1

The principal amount of the Notes constituted by this Deed is limited to
6,217,995.

2.2

The Notes may be issued in amounts or integral multiples of 1.

2.3

The Notes are held subject to the conditions and the provisions contained in
the Schedules which are binding on the Company, the Noteholders and any person
claiming through or under them respectively. The conditions and the provisions
contained in the Schedules shall have the same effect as if they were set out in
this Deed.

2.4

The Notes constitute direct obligations of the Company and rank pari passu
and rateably in all respects and without discrimination or preference among
themselves and shall form a single series.

3

Interest

Until such time as the Notes are redeemed or repaid, the Company will pay
interest on the principal amount of the Notes in accordance with, and subject
to, the terms of this Deed and the conditions.

4

Ranking and Guarantee

4.1

The rights of the Noteholders in respect of the Notes and this Deed rank pari
passu and rateably inter se. The Notes shall rank at least pari passu with all
other unsecured indebtedness of the Company (but, in any event, the due and
punctual payment of any amounts payable in respect of the Notes shall be
guaranteed by the Guarantor on the terms set out in the Guarantee).

4.2

The due and punctual payment by the Company of all principal and interest
payable in respect of the Notes will be irrevocably and unconditionally
guaranteed to the Noteholders on the terms set out in the Guarantee.

4.3

The Company will procure that, by no later than 30 June 2011, Guarantees will
be issued by the Guarantor in the aggregate sum equal to US$13,500,000
substantially in the form set out in schedule 4. Each Noteholder shall be issued
with a Guarantee for that proportion of such aggregate sum of US$13,500,000 that
the principal amount of the Notes, held by such Noteholder, bears to 6,217,995.
As envisaged by the Guarantee in the form set out in schedule 4, any demands for
payment pursuant to such Guarantees shall (subject to clause 4.4(b) below) be
made for the relevant sterling sums owed to the Noteholder(s) in question in
respect of their holdings of Notes, but shall be satisfied in US dollars up to
the maximum amount of the Guarantee provided to that Noteholder.

4.4

Within 21 days of each Guarantee Review Date (excluding 30 June 2011) which
occurs whilst any Notes remain in issue (each such 21 day period being a
Guarantee Review Period), the Dollar Guarantee Cap shall be
calculated by the Company by reference to the Guarantee Exchange Rate as at such
Guarantee Review Date. In the event that such Dollar Guarantee Cap is found to
be greater or less than the then prevailing Guarantee Amount by an amount which
is more than 1% of the then prevailing Guarantee Amount, then the Company shall
procure, no later than the end of the relevant Guarantee Review Period, that new
Guarantees (Replacement Guarantees) are issued by the Guarantor
to replace the existing Guarantees. Such Guarantees shall be in identical form
to those set out in schedule 4 save that:

(a)

the Guarantee Amount shall be of an amount equal to the Dollar Guarantee Cap
calculated for the Guarantee Review Period in question (and so that each
Noteholder is the beneficiary of a Guarantee for a sum equal to that proportion
of the Dollar Guarantee Cap which the principal amount of Notes held by that
Noteholder bears to the total principal amount of Notes for the time being in
issue); or, at the election of the Company

(b)

the Guarantee Amount shall alternatively be for an amount equal to the then
prevailing Sterling Guarantee Cap (and in such circumstances any amount paid
pursuant to such Guarantees shall be paid in Pounds Sterling and the form of
Guarantee as set out in schedule 4 shall be amended accordingly).

Any such Replacement Guarantees shall be in substitution for the previously
subsisting Guarantee for each relevant Noteholder provided always that the terms
of such Guarantee are strictly in accordance with the requirements of this
clause 4 (and so that, to avoid doubt, until such time as a Replacement
Guarantee is issued by the Guarantor to a Noteholder which complies with the
terms of this clause 4, the previously existing Guarantee held by such a
Noteholder shall prevail).

5

Redemption

As and when a Note is due to be redeemed in accordance with this Deed and the
conditions, the Company shall pay to the relevant Noteholder the aggregate of
the principal amount of the Note at par and any accrued interest (after
deduction of tax which the Company is required to deduct by Law) up to but
excluding the date of redemption in accordance with the provisions of condition
7.

6

Further Notes

The Company shall be entitled from time to time, by resolution of the board
or of a duly authorised committee of the board, to cancel any created but
unissued Notes or to create and issue further Notes to be constituted by deed or
instrument expressed to be supplemental to this Deed either so as to be
identical in all respects and form a single series with the Notes or to carry
such rights as to interest, redemption and otherwise as the board may think fit.

7

Certificates

7.1

A person on becoming a Noteholder is entitled without charge to one
certificate for the total principal amount of Notes registered in his name.

7.2

When a Noteholder transfers or has redeemed part of the principal amount of
Notes registered in his name he is entitled without charge to one certificate
for the balance of the principal amount retained by him.

7.3

The Company is not bound to:

(a)

register more than four persons as joint holders of a Note; or

(b)

issue more than one certificate for a Note held jointly by two or more
persons and delivery of a certificate to the joint holder named first in the
Register is sufficient delivery to all joint holders.

of the Company substantially as an entirety shall expressly assume, by a deed
supplemental to this Deed, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and

the Notes theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this
Deed as though all of such Notes had been issued at the date of the execution
hereof. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease,

do not have any adverse effect on the Noteholders).

benefit for creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay
its debts generally as they become due and its willingness to be adjudicated a
bankrupt, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any
such action;

(d)

any event or circumstance arising which, after the commencement date of the
Guarantee, results in the Guarantee being invalid, unenforceable, terminated or
otherwise unable to be performed by the Guarantor (whether through an event

operation of Law, or otherwise howsoever);

“Relevant Guarantee“) and the Company has failed to procure
that a Substitute Guarantee has been provided to replace such Relevant Guarantee
by the date falling no later than 14 days before the termination of such
Relevant Guarantee. For these purposes a “Substitute

claimed thereunder, the term and expiry date of that guarantee and the
conditions on which amounts may be demanded thereunder and which is issued by a
financial institution with a senior debt credit rating not less than A1 on the

the Deed constituting these Notes by 30 June 2011;

by tender (available to all Noteholders alike) or private treaty or otherwise,
in each case by written agreement with the relevant Noteholder.

excluding that date.

3.9

Any and all redemptions of Notes shall be made pari passu among the
Noteholders.

4

If any sum due and payable by the Company in respect of the Notes on
redemption is not paid on the due date, interest shall accrue at the rate of 7
per cent. on the amount due and unpaid for the period beginning on the due date

The Company shall pay principal moneys, interest or any other amount payable
in respect of a Note by a bank or other funds transfer system, or by such other
method as the holder or joint holders of the Note in respect of which the
payment is made (or the person or persons entitled by transmission to the Note)
may in writing direct. The holder, a joint holder or other person jointly
entitled to a Note may give an effective receipt for principal moneys, interest
or other amount paid in respect of the Note.

7.2

The Board may withhold payment of principal moneys, interest and all other
amounts payable in respect of the Note to a person entitled by transmission to a
Note until he has provided such evidence of his right that the Board may
reasonably require.

8

Notices

8.1

A notice to be given to or by a Noteholder under the Deed or these conditions
shall be in writing.

8.2

The Company may give any notice or other document to a Noteholder either
personally or by sending it by post in a prepaid envelope addressed to the
Noteholder at the address shown in the Register against his name.

8.3

Any Noteholder may notify the Company of any change to his or her address
(which shall be used by the Company in substitution for the address shown in the
Register against his or her respective

name), provided that such notice shall be in writing, shall be delivered to
the Company at the Registered Office and shall only be effective on:

(a)

the date specified in the notice as the date on which the change is to take
effect; or

(b)

if no date is so specified or the date so specified is less than five (5)
Business Days after the date on which the notice is given, the date following
five (5) Business Days after the notice of any change has been given.

8.4

In the case of joint holders of a Note, a notice or other document shall be
given to the holder who is named first in the Register in respect of the joint
holding and notice given in this way is sufficient notice to all joint holders.

8.5

A Noteholder (or, in the case of joint holders, the person named first in the
Register) whose address as shown in the Register is outside the United Kingdom
and who has notified the Company of an address in the United Kingdom at which
notices or other documents may be given to him is entitled to have notices given
to him at that address, but otherwise no such Noteholder shall be entitled to
receive any notice from the Company.

8.6

Any notice required to be given to the Company by the Noteholders may be
given either by hand or by sending it by post to the Registered Office (marked
for the attention of the company secretary).

8.7

A notice served in accordance with this condition 8 shall be deemed to have
been received:

(a)

in the case of delivery by hand, on the date of actual delivery;

(b)

in the case of despatch by prepaid first class post, on the second Business
Day following the date of despatch; or

(c)

in the case of despatch by prepaid second class post or where there is only
one class of post, on the fourth Business Day following the date of despatch;

provided that a notice or demand received on a day which is not a Business
Day, or after normal business hours (being 9.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. on a day other
than a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday in England and Wales and the United
States of America), shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business
Day. Proof that the envelope containing the notice was properly addressed,
prepaid and posted shall be conclusive evidence that notice was given.

8.8

A person who becomes entitled to a Note by transmission, transfer or
otherwise is bound by a notice in respect of the Note which, before his name is
entered in the Register, has been properly served on a person from whom he
derives his title.

8.9

Where a person is entitled by transmission to a Note, the Company may give a
notice or other document to that person as if he were the holder of a Note by
addressing it to him by name or by the title of representative of the deceased
or trustee of the bankrupt (or by similar designation) at an address in the
United Kingdom supplied for that purpose by the person claiming to be entitled
by transmission. Until an address has been supplied, a notice or other document
may be given in any manner in which it might have been given if the death or
bankruptcy or other event had not occurred. The giving of notice in accordance
with this condition 8 is sufficient notice to all other persons interested in
the Note

9

General

Words and expressions defined in the Deed shall, unless the context otherwise
requires, have the same meanings in these conditions.

10

Right to Redeem in a Foreign Currency

10.1

A Noteholder may at his option specify in his notice of redemption of Notes
that payment of the principal amount of such Notes is to be made to him in US
Dollars instead of Pounds Sterling and in each case where such specification is
made:

(a)

the Company shall be obliged to make the payment of the principal amount of
such Notes to the Noteholder in US Dollars;

(b)

the election of the Noteholder shall be irrevocable;

(c)

the rate of exchange between US Dollars and Pounds Sterling for the purposes
of calculating the amount of payment shall be the spot rate obtained by the
Company from Barclays Bank PLC (being the rate at which Pounds Sterling may be
sold and US Dollars bought) at 11.00 a.m. (London time) on the twentieth
Business Day prior to the date of payment and on which such notice is deemed to
expire (the “Rate of Exchange”);

(d)

the repayment value shall be the US Dollar equivalent of one Pound Sterling
per 1 nominal of Note converted at the Rate of Exchange less any reasonable
fees or bank charges associated with the conversion (the “Repayment Value”),

PROVIDED THAT:

(i) in no circumstances whatsoever shall the Repayment Value converted as set
out in (ii) below exceed the Pounds Sterling nominal value of the Note to be
repaid plus one twenty-fourth of Y per cent. of the Pounds Sterling nominal
value of the Note to be repaid where Y is the number of complete months between
the date of issue of the Note and the date of repayment and, in the event that
there is an incomplete number of months between those two dates, Y shall be
increased by one;

(ii) for the purposes of this provision the Repayment Value shall be
converted into Pounds Sterling at the spot rate obtained by the Company from
Barclays Bank PLC (being the rate at which US Dollars may be sold and Pounds
Sterling bought) at 11.00 a.m. (London time) on the date of the repayment;

(iii) the Company shall forthwith upon the amount of the Repayment Value
becoming available certify that amount to any Noteholder who has elected
pursuant to this Condition to receive repayment in US Dollars;

(iv) the form of notice of repayment shall contain the following paragraph:

“I/we elect to receive repayment of principal in US Dollars instead of Pounds
Sterling in accordance with Condition 10 of the Deed”.

1

Recognition of Noteholder

1.1

Subject to schedule 9 of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Company shall
recognise a Noteholder as entitled to the Notes registered in his name free from
any equity, set off or counter claim on the part of the Company against the
original or an intermediate holder of the Notes.

1.2

Except as required by law, no person shall be recognised by the Company as
holding any Notes upon any trust and (except as otherwise provided in this
Schedule 2 and in the conditions and the provisions contained in the schedules
to the Deed constituting the Notes) the Company shall not be bound by or
recognise any interest in any Note except an absolute right to the entirety of
it in the holder. The receipt by a Noteholder, or of any joint Noteholder, for
any interest from time to time accruing or due or for any other moneys payable
in respect of the Notes shall be a good discharge of the Company,
notwithstanding any notice the Company may have, whether express or otherwise,
of any right, title, interest or claim of any other person to or in such Notes,
interest or moneys.

2

Transfers

2.1

A Noteholder may not transfer his Notes unless such a transfer is to a
Permitted Transferee. In the case of each initial holder of Notes being Neil
Clifford, Rebecca Farrar-Hockley, Dale Christilaw and Andrew Lee, the transfers
by that Noteholder or any of his or her Permitted Transferees may only be made
providing that the maximum number of Noteholders comprising that initial
Noteholder and any of his or her Permitted Transferees does not exceed four.

2.2

If a transfer of the Notes is permitted under paragraph 2.1 of this Schedule
2, the Noteholder may transfer his Notes in amounts or in integral multiples of
10,000 or such lesser amount as constitutes the Noteholder’s entire holding of
Notes by instrument of transfer in writing in any usual form or in another form
approved by the Board (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)
and the instrument shall be executed by or on behalf of the Noteholder.

2.3

The transferor is deemed to remain the holder of the Notes until the name of
the transferee is entered in the Register in respect of it.

2.4

The Board shall only be entitled to refuse to register the transfer of a Note
if:

(a)

the proposed transfer is not a transfer that is permitted pursuant to
paragraph 2.1 of this Schedule 2; or

(b)

a redemption notice has been given pursuant to condition 3.3; or

(c)

it is in favour of more than four joint transferees; or

(d)

it is not delivered for registration at the Registered Office or such other
place of which the Board may have notified the Noteholders in writing at least
five days in advance, accompanied by the certificate for the Note to which it
relates and such other evidence as the Board may reasonably require to prove the
title of the Noteholder and the due execution by him of the transfer or, if the
transfer is executed by some other person on his behalf, the authority of that
person to do so.

2.5

If the Board refuses to register the transfer of a Note it shall, within
seven days after the date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company,
send notice of the refusal to the transferee. An instrument of transfer which
the Board refuses to register shall (except in the case of suspected

fraud) be returned to the person depositing it. All instruments of transfer
which are registered may be retained by the Company.

2.6

Unless the Board refuses to register the transfer of a Note pursuant to
paragraph 2.4 of this Schedule 2, it will register the transfer within seven
days after the date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company. The
Company may not charge a fee for registering the transfer of a Note or other
document relating to or affecting the title to a Note or the right to transfer
it or for making any other entry in the Register.

3

Transmission of Notes

3.1

The Company may recognise only the personal representative or representatives
of a deceased Noteholder as having title to a Note held by that Noteholder alone
or to which he alone was entitled. In the case of a Note held jointly by more
than one person, the Company may recognise only the survivor or survivors as
being entitled to it.

3.2

Nothing in this Deed releases the estate of a deceased Noteholder from
liability in respect of a Note which has been solely or jointly held by him.

3.3

A person becoming entitled by transmission to a Note may, on production of
any evidence the Board may reasonably require, elect either to be registered as
a Noteholder or to have a person nominated by him registered as a Noteholder. If
he elects to be registered himself, he shall give notice to the Company to that
effect. If he elects to have another person registered, he shall execute an
instrument of transfer of the Note to that person. All the provisions of this
Deed relating to the transfer of Notes apply to the notice or instrument of
transfer (as the case may be) as if it were an instrument of transfer executed
by the Noteholder and his death, bankruptcy or other event giving rise to a
transmission of entitlement had not occurred.

3.4

The Board may give notice requiring a person to make the election referred to
in paragraph 3.3 of this Schedule 2. If that notice is not complied with within
60 days the Board may withhold payment of principal moneys, interest and all
other amounts payable in respect of the Note until notice of election has been
made.

3.5

Where a person becomes entitled by transmission to a Note, the rights of the
Noteholder in relation to the Note cease. The person entitled by transmission
may, however, give a good discharge for principal moneys, interest and other
amounts payable in respect of the Note and, subject to paragraphs 3.3 and 3.4 of
this Schedule 2 and condition 7.2, has the rights to which he would be entitled
if he were the holder of the Note. The person entitled by transmission is not,
however, before he is registered as the holder of the Note, entitled in respect
of it to receive notice of or exercise rights conferred by being a Noteholder in
relation to meetings of the Noteholders.

4

Replacement certificates

Where a Note certificate is worn out, defaced, lost or destroyed, the Board
shall cancel it and issue a replacement certificate on such terms as to
provision of evidence and indemnity (with or without security) and to payment of
any exceptional out of pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in the
investigation of that evidence and the preparation of that indemnity and
security as the Board may reasonably decide, and on surrender of the original
certificate (where it is worn out or defaced).

1

Convening meetings

1.1

The Company may convene a meeting of the Noteholders at any time.

1.2

The Company shall convene a meeting of the Noteholders immediately on receipt
of a requisition from Noteholders holding at the date of the deposit of the
requisition not less than one tenth in principal amount of the Notes outstanding
at that date.

1.3

The requisition:

(a)

shall state the objects of the meeting;

(b)

shall be signed by the requisitioners and deposited at the Registered Office;
and

(c)

may consist of several documents in like form each signed by one or more
requisitioners.

1.4

The meeting shall be held at such place in the United Kingdom as the Company,
acting reasonably, may decide.

2

Notice

2.1

A meeting convened for the passing of an Extraordinary Resolution shall be
called by not less than 21 clear days’ notice. All other meetings shall be
called by not less than 14 clear days’ notice.

2.2

The notice of meeting shall specify:

(a)

the place, date and time of the meeting;

(b)

the terms of each resolution to be proposed; and

(c)

with reasonable prominence, that a Noteholder entitled to attend and vote may
appoint one or more proxies to attend and, on a poll, vote instead of the
Noteholder and that a proxy need not also be a Noteholder.

3

Quorum

3.1

No business may be transacted at a meeting unless a quorum is present. The
absence of a quorum does not prevent the appointment of a chairman in accordance
with paragraph 5 of this Schedule 3, which is not treated as part of the
business of the meeting.

3.2

The quorum for a meeting convened for any meeting is a person or persons
holding or representing by proxy a majority in principal amount of the Notes
outstanding at the date of the meeting.

4

Absence of Quorum

4.1

If a quorum is not present within twenty minutes (or such longer period as
the chairman in his absolute discretion may decide) from the time fixed for the
start of the meeting or if during the meeting a quorum ceases to be present, the
meeting:

(a)

if convened on the requisition of the Noteholders, shall be dissolved; or

(b)

in any other case, shall stand adjourned to such time (being not less than 14
days nor more than 28 days later) and place as the chairman (or, in default, the
Board) may decide.

4.2

At an adjourned meeting the quorum shall be the Noteholders present in person
or by proxy, whatever the principal amount of the Notes held by them. If a
quorum is not present within five minutes (or such longer period as the chairman
in his absolute discretion may decide) from the time fixed for the start of the
meeting or if during the meeting a quorum ceases to be present, the adjourned
meeting shall be dissolved.

4.3

The Company shall give not less than seven clear days’ notice of any meeting
adjourned for the lack of a quorum and the notice shall comply with paragraph
2.2 of this Schedule 3 and shall state the quorum requirement.

5

Chairman

The Noteholders present at the meeting shall select one of their numbers to
preside as chairman at the meeting.

6

Right to attend and speak

Each member of the Board and any person authorised by the Board may attend
and speak at a meeting whether or not he is a Noteholder.

7

Power to adjourn

7.1

The chairman may, with the consent of a meeting at which a quorum is present
and shall, if so directed by the meeting adjourn a meeting from time to time and
from place to place or for an indefinite period.

7.2

Without prejudice to any other power which he may have under the provisions
of this Schedule or at common law, the chairman may, without the consent of the
meeting, interrupt or adjourn a meeting from time to time and from place to
place or for an indefinite period if he decides that it has become necessary to
do so in order to:

(a)

secure the proper and orderly conduct of the meeting;

(b)

give all persons entitled to do so a reasonable opportunity of speaking and
voting at the meeting; or

(c)

ensure that the business of the meeting is properly disposed of.

8

Notice of adjourned meeting

Without prejudice to paragraph 4.3 of this Schedule 3, whenever a meeting is
adjourned for 28 days or more or for an indefinite period, at least seven clear
days’ notice specifying the place, the date and the time of the adjourned
meeting and the general nature of the business to be transacted shall be given
to the Noteholders and each member of the Board. Except in these circumstances
and subject to paragraph 4.3, it is not necessary to give notice of an adjourned
meeting or of the business to be transacted at the adjourned meeting.

9

Business at adjourned meeting

No business may be transacted at an adjourned meeting other than the business
which might properly have been transacted at the meeting from which the
adjournment took place.

10

Method of voting

10.1

At a meeting, a resolution put to the vote of the meeting is decided by a
show of hands unless (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of
hands) a poll is duly demanded.

10.2

A poll may be demanded on a question by the chairman of the meeting or a
Noteholder or Noteholders present in person or by proxy representing in total
not less than one twentieth in principal amount of the Notes outstanding at the
date of the meeting.

10.3

A demand by a proxy is deemed to be a demand by the Noteholder appointing the
proxy.

10.4

Unless a poll is demanded and the demand is not withdrawn, a declaration by
the chairman that the resolution has been carried, or carried by a particular
majority, or lost or not carried by a particular majority, and an entry to that
effect in the book containing the minutes of proceedings, is conclusive evidence
of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in
favour of or against the resolution.

11

Procedure on a poll

11.1

If a poll is properly demanded, it shall be taken in such manner as the
chairman may direct. He may appoint scrutineers, who need not be Noteholders,
and may fix a time and place for declaring the result of the poll. The result of
the poll is deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll is
demanded.

11.2

A poll demanded on the election of a chairman or on any question of
adjournment shall be taken at the meeting and without adjournment. A poll
demanded on another question shall be taken at such time and place as the
chairman may decide, either at once or after an interval or adjournment (but not
more than 30 clear days after the date of the demand).

11.3

No notice need be given of a poll not taken immediately if the time and place
at which it is to be taken are announced at the meeting at which it is demanded.
In any other case at least seven clear days’ notice shall be given specifying
the time and place at which the poll is to be taken.

11.4

The demand for a poll may be withdrawn but only with the consent of the
chairman. A demand withdrawn in this way validates the result of a show of hands
declared before the demand is made. In the case of a poll demanded before the
declaration of the result of a show of hands, the meeting shall continue as if
the demand had not been made.

11.5

The demand for a poll (other than on the election of the chairman or on a
question of adjournment) does not prevent the meeting continuing for the
transaction of business other than the question on which a poll has been
demanded.

11.6

On a poll, votes may be given in person or by proxy and a Noteholder entitled
to more than one vote need not, if he votes, use all his votes or cast all the
votes he uses in the same way.

12

Votes

12.1

At a meeting every Noteholder present in person has on a show of hands one
vote and every Noteholder present in person or by proxy has on a poll one vote
for every 1 in principal amount of the Note or Notes of which he is the holder.

12.2

In the case of joint holders of a Note, the vote of the senior who tenders a
vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the
votes of the other joint holders, and seniority is determined by the order in
which the names of the holders stand in the Register.

13

Casting vote of the chairman

In the case of an equality of votes the chairman has, on a show of hands and
on a poll, a casting vote in addition to any vote to which he is entitled as a
Noteholder.

14

Voting by proxy

14.1

An instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing in any usual form (or in
another form approved by the Board) executed by the appointor or his duly
constituted attorney or, if the appointor is a company, under its seal or under
the hand of its duly authorised officer or attorney or other person authorised
to sign.

14.2

An instrument of proxy is deemed (unless the contrary is stated in it) to
confer authority to demand or join in demanding a poll and to vote on a
resolution or amendment of a resolution put to, or other business which may
properly come before, the meeting or meetings for which it is given, as the
proxy thinks fit.

14.3

A proxy need not be a Noteholder.

14.4

A Noteholder may appoint more than one proxy to attend on the same occasion.
When two or more valid but differing instruments of proxy are delivered for the
same Note for use at the same meeting, the one which is last validly delivered
(regardless of its date or the date of its execution) shall be treated as
replacing and revoking the other or others as regards that Note.

14.5

Deposit of an instrument of proxy does not prevent a Noteholder attending and
voting in person at the meeting or an adjournment of the meeting or on a poll.

14.6

An instrument of proxy is (unless the contrary is stated in it) valid for an
adjournment of the meeting as well as for the meeting or meetings to which it
relates. An instrument of proxy is valid for 12 months from the date of
execution.

14.7

The Company may send an instrument of proxy to all or none of the persons
entitled to receive notice of and to vote at a meeting. If sent the instrument
shall provide for two way voting (without prejudice to a right to abstain) on
all resolutions set out in the notice of meeting.

15

Deposit of proxy

15.1

An instrument of proxy, and (if required by the Board) a power of attorney or
other authority under which it is executed or a copy of it notarially certified
or certified in some other way approved by the Board, shall be:

(a)

deposited at the Registered Office, or another place in the United Kingdom
specified in the notice convening the meeting or in an instrument of proxy or
other accompanying document sent by the Company in relation to the meeting, not
less than 48 hours before the time for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting
or the taking of a poll at which the person named in the instrument proposes to
vote;

(b)

in the case of a meeting adjourned for less than 28 days but more than 48
hours or in the case of a poll taken more than 48 hours after it is demanded,
deposited as required by paragraph 15.1(a) not less than 24 hours before the
time appointed for the holding of the adjourned meeting or the taking of the
poll; or

(c)

in the case of a meeting adjourned for less than 48 hours or in the case of a
poll not taken immediately but taken not more than 48 hours after it was
demanded, delivered at the adjourned meeting or at the meeting at which the poll
was demanded to the chairman or to the secretary or to a director of the
Company.

15.2

An instrument of proxy not deposited or delivered in accordance with
paragraph 15.1 of this Schedule 3 is invalid.

16

When votes by proxy valid though authority revoked

A vote given or poll demanded by a proxy or authorised representative of a
company is valid despite termination of his authority unless notice of
termination is received by the Company at the Registered Office (or other place
specified for depositing the instrument of proxy) at least one hour before the
time for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the vote is given or
(in the case of a poll taken otherwise than at or on the same day as the meeting
or adjourned meeting) the time appointed for the taking of the poll at which the
vote is cast.

17

Corporate representative

A company which is a Noteholder may, by resolution of its directors or other
governing body, authorise a person to act as its representative at a meeting of
Noteholders (the “representative”). The representative may exercise on behalf of
the company (in respect of that part of the company’s holding of Notes to which
the authorisation relates) those powers that the company could exercise if it
were an individual Noteholder. The company is for the purposes of this Schedule
deemed to be present in person at a meeting if the representative is present.
Each reference to attendance and voting in person is to be construed
accordingly. A member of the Board or the secretary of the Company or other
person authorised for the purpose by the secretary may require the
representative to produce a certified copy of the resolution of authorisation
before permitting him to exercise his powers.

18

Objections to and error in voting

No objection may be made to the qualification of a voter or to the counting
of, or failure to count, a vote, except at the meeting or adjourned meeting at
which the vote objected to is tendered or at which the error occurs. An
objection properly made shall be referred to the chairman and only invalidates
the result of the voting if, in the opinion of the chairman, it is of sufficient
magnitude to affect the decision of the meeting. The decision of the chairman is
conclusive and binding on all concerned.

19

Amendments to resolutions

If an amendment proposed to a resolution under consideration is ruled out of
order by the chairman the proceedings on the substantive resolution are not
invalidated by an error in his ruling.

20

Extraordinary resolutions

20.1

In addition to any other power, a meeting of Noteholders may by Extraordinary
Resolution and with the consent of the Company sanction any modification,
abrogation or compromise in any respect of:

(a)

the provisions of this Deed; or

(b)

the rights of the Noteholders against the Company, whether those rights arise
under this Deed or otherwise.

20.2

Without limiting paragraph 20.1 of this Schedule 3, the Noteholders have
power to sanction in accordance with paragraph 20.1:

(a)

an agreement for postponing or advancing the time for the payment of
principal moneys or interest payable in respect of the Notes;

(b)

an agreement for reducing the rate of interest or for the capitalisation of
any interest;

(c)

an agreement for the exchange of Notes for, or conversion of Notes into,
other securities of the Company or another company; and

(d)

a matter which under the provisions of this Deed is required to be sanctioned
by Extraordinary Resolution.

20.3

An Extraordinary Resolution is binding upon each Noteholder whether or not
present at the meeting and each Noteholder is bound to give effect to the
Extraordinary Resolution.

21

Noteholders’ extraordinary resolutions

A resolution in writing executed by or on behalf of Noteholders holding more
than 75 per cent. in principal amount of Notes for the time being outstanding
who would have been entitled to vote upon it if it had been proposed at a
meeting at which he was present is as effective as if it had

been passed at a meeting duly convened and held. The resolution in writing
may consist of several instruments in the same form each duly executed by or on
behalf of one or more Noteholders. If the resolution in writing is described as
an Extraordinary Resolution, it has effect accordingly.

22

Minutes of meetings

22.1

The Company shall cause minutes of all proceedings of meetings of the
Noteholders to be entered in books kept for that purpose.

22.2

A minute, if purporting to be signed by the chairman of the meeting at which
the proceedings took place, or by the chairman of the next meeting, is
conclusive evidence of the proceedings.

22.3

Where minutes have been made in accordance with paragraph 22.2 of this
Schedule 3 of the proceedings at a meeting then, until the contrary is proved,
the meeting is deemed duly held and convened, and all proceedings had at the
meeting to have been duly had.
