general authority conferred on the directors, as if section 89(1) of the Act
did not apply to any such allotment, provided that this power shall be limited
to:

(a) the allotment of equity securities in connection with a rights issue or
other issue in favour of the holders of ordinary shares and in favour of
holders of any other class of equity security in accordance with the rights
attached to such class, where the equity securities respectively attributable

respective numbers of equity securities held by them, subject only to such
exclusions or other arrangements as the directors may judge to be necessary or
expedient to deal with fractional entitlements or any legal or practical
problems arising under the laws of any territory, or due to any shares being
represented by depository receipts, or to deal with the requirements of any
recognised regulatory body or any stock exchange in any territory; and

resolution) of equity securities which are, or are to be, wholly paid up in
cash and have an aggregate nominal amount not exceeding £44,085,440;

(b) of this resolution shall expire on the earlier of the conclusion of the
next annual general meeting of the company and 30 September 2009, save that in
any such case, the directors may, before such expiry, make any offer or
agreement which would or might require equity securities to be allotted after
such expiry and the directors may allot equity securities in pursuance of any
such offer or agreement as if the authority conferred had not expired. These
authorities are in substitution for all authorities subsisting at the time

this resolution is passed.
