(a)

Olive HoldCo (1) shall not, and shall procure that its subsidiaries shall not; and (2) shall use commercially reasonable endeavours to procure that no direct or indirect shareholder of Olive HoldCo (including any Olive Holdco Shareholders), no Relative of such a shareholder of Olive HoldCo and no Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall, acquire or agree to acquire, enter into any option to acquire, or enter into or agree to enter into any analogous transaction for or in respect of, any Securities or interest in Securities without the prior approval of the Board, including, if Red’s Equity Proportion is at least 10 per cent., at least one Red Nominated Director, if Olive HoldCo’s Equity Proportion is at least 15 per cent., at least one Olive HoldCo Nominated Director and in any event, a simple majority of all INEDs present and eligible to vote on the decision; and

(i)

such acquisition is made, with the prior approval of the Board, including, if Olive HoldCo’s Equity Proportion is at least 15 per cent., by at least one Olive HoldCo Nominated Director and, in any event, a simple majority of all INEDs present and eligible to vote on the decision; or

(ii)

such acquisition is made (and is no greater than is required) in order to allow Red Parent to continue to “equity account” for Red’s holding of Shares and Red’s Parent has first delivered to the Company a written opinion of its auditors or other firm of chartered accountants of international repute appointed by Red Parent (as applicable) confirming that such acquisition is the minimum acquisition necessary in order to allow Red Parent to continue to “equity account” for Red’s holding of Shares; or

(iii)

if permitted to be made by the Takeover Panel (in circumstances where the Takeover Panel has determined that the Shareholders are at that time Persons Acting in Concert), on a basis that does not give rise to an obligation on any person to make an offer for the Company under Rule 9 of The Takeover Code, acquisitions to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to ensure that Olive HoldCo and Red’s aggregate holding of Shares (having been reduced to less than 50 per cent. of the voting rights (as defined in The Takeover Code) of the Company other than by a Disposal of any interest in a Share by either of them or any Person Acting in Concert with either of them) is such that they have an aggregate interest in more than 50 per cent. of the voting rights of the Company; or

(iv)

within 30 days of such acquisition, Red Parent or any of its subsidiaries disposes of Securities such that Red’s interest in Securities, when aggregated with any Securities acquired by any of Red Parent’s subsidiaries, no longer exceeds 21 per cent of the fully diluted share capital of the Company.

he has the right (whether conditional or absolute) to exercise or direct the exercise of the voting rights attaching to them or has general control of them;

(c)

by virtue of any agreement to purchase, option or derivative he: (i) has the right or option to acquire them or call for their delivery; or (ii) is under an obligation to take delivery of them, whether the right, option or obligation is conditional or absolute and whether it is in the money or otherwise; or

(d)

he is party to any derivative: (i) whose value is determined by reference to their price; and (ii) which results, or may result, in his having a long position in them,

and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be treated as acquiring or obtaining an “interest” in Securities or Shares by reason of a buy-back or similar transaction.

12.3

This clause 12 shall not restrict or apply in respect of:

(a)

a Shareholder’s participation in an issue of Securities by the Company, up to its maximum pro-rata participation;

a receipt of Shares under clause 14.1 of the Master Agreement (Liability);

represent more than 67 per cent. of the issued Shares.

12.5

No provision of this agreement shall prevent a Shareholder or its Affiliates from (1) making an announcement pursuant to Rule 2.4 (or its equivalent) of The Takeover Code or (2) participating in a buy-back or similar transaction.

12.6

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Shareholder shall, except as permitted by clause 12.4, acquire any interest (as defined in The Takeover Code) in Shares if doing so would give rise to an obligation to make an offer under Rule 9 of The Takeover Code.
