Subscription Shares (as defined below) set forth next to each such

with the parties' understanding of the actual position and accordingly the

Shareholder the opportunity to require that completion of the
Transfer by the Transferor shall be conditional upon the Offeror
purchasing from such Ongoing Shareholders a pro rata portion of each
such Ongoing Shareholders' Shares, based upon the number of Shares
owned by the Transferor and the Ongoing Shareholders exercising
rights pursuant to this sub-clause 9.1 (a "TAG-ALONG SALE"). The
Ongoing Shareholders may exercise this right by delivering to the
Transferor a Tag-Along Notice (as defined below) in accordance with
sub-clause 9.1(c) below. The Ongoing Shareholders delivering such a
notice are hereinafter referred to as the "TAG-ALONG SHAREHOLDERS".
(b) In connection with a Tag-Along Sale, (i) the only representations
and warranties which any Tag-Along Shareholder shall be required to
make, and shall make, in connection with any Transfer are
representations and warranties with respect to its own ownership of
the Shares to be sold by it and its ability to convey title thereto
free and clear of Encumbrances and adverse claims, its due
organisation (if applicable), its due authorisation (if applicable),
execution and delivery of the relevant stock transfer form, and the
enforceability of such stock transfer forms against it and (ii) the
liability of the Tag-Along Shareholder with respect to any
representation and warranty made in connection with any Transfer
is the several liability of such Tag-Along Shareholder (and not
joint with any other person).
(c) The Tag-Along Shareholders may exercise their rights pursuant to
this sub-clause 9.1 by providing notice (the "TAG-ALONG NOTICE") to
the Transferor no less than 10 and no more than 20 Business Days
after the expiration of the Second Offer Period. The Tag-Along
Notice shall set out the number of Shares each of the Tag-Along
Shareholders has elected to include in the Tag-Along Sale. The
Tag-Along Notice shall constitute the relevant Tag-Along
Shareholder's binding agreement to sell the Shares specified in the
Tag-Along Notice on the terms and conditions applicable to the
Tag-Along Sale provided that if there is any material change in the
terms and conditions of such Tag-along
13
Sale after the Tag-Along Notice is given, then each Tag-Along
Shareholder shall have the right to withdraw from the Tag-Along Sale
with respect to all Shares affected thereby.
(d) If the Offeror does not complete the purchase of all of the Shares
requested to be included in the Tag-Along Sale on the same terms and
conditions applicable to the Transferor, the Transferor shall not
complete the Transfer of any of its Shares to the Offeror and the
Directors shall not register such Transfer. If no Tag-Along Notice
is received by the Transferor prior to the end of the 20 Business
Day period specified above, the Transferor shall have the right to
complete the Transfer to the Offeror, together with any valid
Tag-Along Sale, without the participation of an Ongoing Shareholder
that has not provided the relevant Tag-Along Notice on the terms and
conditions set out in the Notice of Transfer and only if such sale
is completed within the 90 Business Day period specified in
sub-clause 8.3(a). If any Tag-Along Sale does not occur within such
90 Business Day period, the Shares that were subject to such
Tag-Along Sale shall continue to be subject to all of the provisions
contained in this Agreement.
(e) On the date of the Tag-Along Sale, each Tag-Along Shareholder shall
deliver a certificate or certificates for the Shares to be sold in
connection with the Tag-Along Sale, together with a duly completed
and executed stock transfer form in favour of the Offeror (or any
permitted person nominated by it).
9.2 If the holder of a majority of the votes attributable to the Shares agrees
to sell all its Shares to a person other than one or more other
Shareholders, that majority holder shall be entitled to require all other
Shareholders to sell all their Shares to the same person at the same price
provided that such majority holder may only exercise this right with the
consent of the holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the votes attributable
to the Shares.
10. NEW MEMBERS
10.1 The parties hereto shall procure that before any person (other than an
Existing Shareholder) is registered as a holder of any share in the
Company, such person shall enter into a Deed of Adherence. The Company
shall not register any such person as the holder of any Share until such a
deed has been executed. Upon being so registered, that person shall be
deemed to be a party to this Agreement.
11. SHAREHOLDER CONSENT
11.1 Where this Agreement provides that any particular transaction or matter
requires the consent, approval or agreement of the Shareholders such
consent, approval or agreement will be effected by written resolution of
the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the votes attributable to the Shares or
by a resolution passed by the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the votes
attributable to the Shares at a meeting of Shareholders convened by the
Directors for such purpose on such
14
notice as the Directors, acting reasonably, consider to be appropriate,
and such meeting may take place by any mechanism permitted by the Articles
for conducting meetings of members of the Company or Directors, and may be
given subject to such terms and conditions as the Shareholder may impose
by the terms of the relevant resolution and any breach of such terms and
conditions by any person subject thereto shall ipso facto be deemed to be
a breach of the terms of this Agreement.
11.2 If the consent, approval or agreement of the Shareholder is required under
more than one provision of this Agreement for any one transaction or
matter, any consent, approval or agreement given in relation to that
transaction or matter by the Shareholder shall be deemed to cover all
consents, approvals or agreements required for that transaction or matter
unless otherwise specified by the Investors in the relevant resolution.
12. DURATION OF OBLIGATIONS
12.1 Subject to sub-clause 15.12, the obligations of each Shareholder shall
continue for so long as such Shareholder remains a holder of Shares but,
upon Shareholder ceasing to be a Shareholder, their obligations hereunder
shall cease and determine save for any provision hereof which in relation
to such Shareholder is expressly or by implication intended to come into
force on or to continue in force after such cessation, and without
prejudice to the due performance by such Shareholder of all their
obligations up to the date of such cessation and the remedies of any of
the other parties hereto in respect of a breach thereof.
12.2 Subject to sub-clause 15.12, the provisions of this Agreement shall remain
in full force and effect with respect to a Shareholder until such time as
such Shareholder is no longer the holder of any Shares in the Company,
whereupon the obligations and liabilities of the Shareholder this
Agreement shall forthwith cease and determine provided that such cesser or
determination shall be without prejudice to any obligations or rights of
any of the parties hereto which have accrued prior thereto.
13. CONFIDENTIALITY
13.1 Each Shareholder undertakes to each of the other Shareholders and to the
Company that such Shareholder will not at any time hereafter use or
divulge or communicate to any person other than to officers or employees
of the Company whose province it is to know the same or on the
instructions of the Directors any Confidential Information which may come
to such Shareholder's knowledge and such Shareholder shall use its best
endeavours to prevent the publication or disclosure of any Confidential
Information.
13.2 The obligations in sub-clause 13.1 shall continue to apply after such
Shareholder shall cease to be a party to this Agreement or otherwise
involved in the affairs of the Company without limit in point of time but
shall cease to apply to information which shall come into the public
domain other than by a breach of this clause or which for any other
reason, other than through the default of that Shareholder, shall have
ceased to be confidential.
15
13.3 Each of the parties hereto shall use its best endeavours to procure that
the Company observes and ensures that the officers, employees and agents
of each of them observe a corresponding obligation of confidence to that
set out in sub-clause 13.1 in relation to the Shareholders themselves.
13.4 No announcement or publicity concerning the terms of this Agreement or the
interests of any Shareholder in the Company shall be made or issued by any
of the parties hereto without the prior written approval of the Directors
in the case of the Company or, in the case of the Shareholders as a body,
by a resolution in accordance with such clause 11.1 and in the case of an
individual Shareholder by that Shareholder, other than as required by law
or by the rules of any regulatory organisation to which any of the parties
hereto is subject (in which case the Shareholders and the Company shall
promptly, and to the extent practicable, consult with each other on the
form of the announcement).
14. NEW ARTICLES
14.1 In order to give further effect to the provisions of clause 8, the
Shareholders will on, or as soon as practicable following, Completion,
pass a special resolution adopting new Articles of Association in
substitution for the existing Articles, containing the relevant
substantive provisions of clause 8 as is appropriate for a publicly
available document.
14.2 In order to give effect to the above the Shareholders will execute and
deliver to the Company the following documents:
(a) Dated Proxy Forms
(b) Date Consent to Short Notice
each of which shall be held in escrow (the "SECOND ESCROW") by the Company
until 1 November 2005.
14.3 The terms of the Second Escrow are that all such Proxy Forms and Consents
to Short Notice shall be released to the Company on, and as part of,
Completion and if Completion does not occur on or before 31 October 2005
all such documents will be returned to the relevant Shareholders unless
otherwise agreed prior to such date.
14.4 To give effect to the above, each Participant hereby irrevocably appoints
each Director severally, not jointly, so that any Director may act alone,
as his agent to deliver and use such documents for the above referred to
purpose.
15. GENERAL

disbursements incurred in relation to the negotiation, preparation and

15.4 ASSIGNMENT

or in part hereunder without the prior written consent of the other
parties hereto, provided that this sub-clause shall not prevent a lawful
transfer of Shares pursuant to clauses 8 or 9.
15.5 THIRD PARTY RIGHTS
A person who is not a party to this Agreement has no right under the
Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ to enforce any term of this
Agreement but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party
which exists or is available apart from that Act.
15.6 CONTINUING AGREEMENT
All provisions of this Agreement shall, so far as they are capable of
being performed and observed, continue in full force and effect
notwithstanding Completion, except in respect of those matters then
already performed.
15.7 FURTHER ASSURANCE
15.7.1 The parties hereto shall, and shall use their respective best
endeavours to procure that any necessary Affiliates shall, do,
execute and perform all such further deeds, documents, assurances,
acts and things as any of the parties hereto may reasonably require
by notice in writing to the others to carry the provisions of this
Agreement and the Articles into full force and effect.
17
15.7.2 Without limiting the generality of sub-clause 15.7.1, each of the
Beneficial Owners hereby instructs each of the Existing
Shareholders, in respect of the relevant Shares registered in the
name of the relevant Existing Shareholder, and each of the Existing
Shareholders hereby agrees in respect of such Shares to do
everything that is required to give effect to this Agreement and
the transactions envisaged by it, including bringing the Company's
books and records completely up to date, providing missing
information and correcting any errors.
15.8 TIME OF THE ESSENCE
Any date or period mentioned in this Agreement may be extended by
agreement between the parties hereto (following completion, the
Shareholders acting by resolution as envisaged in sub-clause 11.1),
failing which, as regards any such date or period, time shall be of the
essence of this Agreement.
15.9 ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This Agreement constitutes the whole agreement between the parties or
between any persons that are associates of either party relating to its
subject matter.
This Agreement replaces, supersedes and extinguishes any prior drafts,
agreements, undertakings, representations, warranties, assurances,
understandings and arrangements of any nature, whether in writing or oral,
relating to such subject matter.
Each party acknowledges that except as set out in Schedule 6 it has not
been induced to enter into the Agreement by any representation, warranty,
promise or assurance by the other party or any other person.
Each party agrees that (except in respect of fraud) it shall have no right
or remedy in respect of any other representation, warranty, promise or
assurance save for those contained in this Agreement.
15.10 VARIATION
This Agreement may be varied or terminated and the observance of any term
of this Agreement may be waived with respect to all parties to this
Agreement (either generally or in a particular instance and either
retroactively or prospectively), with the written consent of the Company
and those Shareholders holding at least 66-2/3% of the votes attributable
to the Shares held by the Shareholders, provided, however this Agreement
may not be amended or terminated and the observance of any term hereunder
may not be waived with respect to any Shareholder without the written
consent of such Shareholder unless such amendment, termination or waiver
applies to all Shareholders in the same fashion (it being agreed that a
waiver or amendment of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to
apply to all Shareholders in the same fashion if such waiver or amendment
does so by its terms, notwithstanding the fact that certain Shareholders
are affected differently by virtue of differences in their shareholdings).
The Company
18
shall give prompt written notice of any amendment or termination hereof or
waiver hereunder to any Shareholder that did not consent in writing to
such amendment, termination or waiver. Any amendment, termination or
waiver effected in accordance with this sub-clause 15.10 shall be binding
on all Shareholders, even if they do not execute such consent.
15.11 WAIVER
No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising on the part of any of
the parties hereto any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate
as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right,
power or privilege or such exercise against one or more (but not all) of
the parties preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege.
15.12 EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES
The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are exclusive of any
rights or remedies otherwise provided by law provided that no such
exclusion shall apply in the event of fraud or fraudulent
misrepresentation.
15.13 RELEASES AND COMPROMISES
Each of the parties hereto may release or compromise the liability of any
of the other parties hereto under this Agreement or grant to such party
time or other indulgence without affecting the liability of any other of
the parties hereto under this Agreement.
15.14 NO PARTNERSHIP
Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute or be deemed to constitute a
partnership between any of the parties hereto and none of them shall have
any authority to bind the others in any way.
15.15 SEVERABILITY
(a) Notwithstanding that the whole or any part of any provision of this
Agreement may prove to be illegal or unenforceable, the other
provisions of this Agreement and the remainder (if any) of the
provision in question shall continue in full force and effect. In
relation to any illegal or unenforceable part of this Agreement, the
parties hereto agree to amend such part in such manner as may be
requested from time to time by any of the parties hereto provided
that such proposed amendment is legal and enforceable and to the
maximum extent possible carries out the original intent of the
parties in relation to that part.
(b) If any part of this Agreement or the Articles shall be held by any
court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable against or by
the Company, such part shall be treated as being severable from the
remainder of this Agreement or, as the case may be, the Articles and
the Shareholders shall promptly exercise their powers in relation to
the Company to procure (insofar as they have the power lawfully to
do so) that the severable part
19
is nevertheless put into or given effect in accordance with, or to
the maximum extent possible in accordance with, the original intent
of the parties hereto in relation to that part.
15.16 COUNTERPARTS
(a) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by
each party on a separate counterpart, but the Agreement shall not be
effective until at least the parties required by sub-clause 4.1 have
executed at least one counterpart. All the executed counterparts
shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
(b) Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page by fax shall
take effect as delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement
provided that, if such method is adopted, each party shall provide
the other with the original of such page as soon as reasonably
practicable thereafter.
15.17 LAW AND JURISDICTION
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
English law and the parties hereto irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of the English courts in respect of any dispute or matter
arising out of or connected with this Agreement.
