A DEPOSITARY BANK.  EACH HOLDER, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THESE SHARES, REPRESENTS

materials concerning the Placing in or into or from the United States
(including electronic copies thereof) to any person, and it has not
distributed, forwarded, transferred or otherwise transmitted any such
materials to any person; 
 
25.           none of Investec, its affiliates and any person acting on behalf
of any of them is making any recommendations to it, advising it regarding the

and will not be a client of Investec and that Investec has no duties or
responsibilities to it for providing the protections afforded to its clients
or for providing advice in relation to the Placing nor in respect of any
representations, warranties, undertakings or indemnities contained in the
Placing Agreement nor for the exercise or performance of any of its rights and
obligations thereunder including any rights to waive or vary any conditions or
exercise any termination right; 
 
26.           it will make payment to Investec for the Placing Shares

and it will remain liable for any shortfall below the net proceeds of such
sale and the placing proceeds of such Placing Shares and may be required to
bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (together with any interest or
penalties due pursuant to the terms set out or referred to in this
Announcement) which may arise upon the sale of such Placee's Placing Shares on
its behalf; 
 
27.           no action has been or will be taken by any of the Company,

case may be.  Investec and the Company will not be responsible for any
liability to stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax resulting from a failure to
observe this requirement.  Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of such
Placee agrees to acquire Placing Shares pursuant to the Placing and agrees to
indemnify the Company and Investec in respect of the same on the basis that

another person);

rate determined under) any of sections 67, 70, 93 or 96 of the Finance Act
1986 (depository receipts and clearance services) and that it is not
participating in the Placing as nominee or agent for any person or persons to
whom the allocation, allotment, issue or delivery of Placing Shares would give
rise to such a liability; 
 
31.           it will not make an offer to the public of the Placing Shares
and it has not offered or sold and will not offer or sell any Placing Shares

investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their business or
otherwise in circumstances which have not resulted and which will not result
in an offer to the public in the United Kingdom within the meaning of section
85(1) of the FSMA or an offer to the public in any other member state of the
EEA within the meaning of the Prospectus Directive; 
 
32.           it is a person of a kind described in: (a) Article 19(5)

the FSMA does not require approval of the communication by an authorised
person and it acknowledges and agrees that this Announcement has not been
approved by Investec in its capacity as an authorised person under section 21
of the FSMA and it may not therefore be subject to the controls which would
apply if it was made or approved as financial promotion by an authorised
person; 
 
34.           it has complied and it will comply with all applicable laws with
respect to anything done by it or on its behalf in relation to the Placing
Shares (including all relevant provisions of the FSMA in respect of anything
done in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom); 
 
35.           if it is a financial intermediary, as that term is used in
Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive (including any relevant implementing
measure in any member state), the Placing Shares acquired by it in the Placing
will not be acquired on a non-discretionary basis on behalf of, nor will they
be acquired with a view to their offer or resale to, persons in a member state

representation or statement contained in this Announcement or for any
information previously published by or on behalf of the Company or any other
written or oral information made available to or publicly available or filed
information or any representation, warranty or undertaking relating to the
Company, and will not be liable for its decision to participate in the Placing
based on any information, representation, warranty or statement contained in
this Announcement or elsewhere, provided that nothing in this paragraph shall
exclude any liability of any person for fraud; 
 
38.           neither Investec, the Company nor any of their respective
affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees nor any person acting on
behalf of Investec or its affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees
is making any recommendations to it, advising it regarding the suitability of
any transactions it may enter into in connection with the Placing nor
providing advice in relation to the Placing nor in respect of any
representations, warranties, acknowledgements, agreements, undertakings, or
indemnities contained in the Placing Agreement nor the exercise or performance
of any of Investec's rights and obligations thereunder including any rights to
waive or vary any conditions or exercise any termination right; 
 
39.           it acknowledges and accepts that Investec may, in accordance
with applicable legal and regulatory provisions, engage in transactions in
relation to the Placing Shares and/or related instruments for their own
account for the purpose of hedging their underwriting exposure or otherwise
and, except as required by applicable law or regulation, Investec will not
make any public disclosure in relation to such transactions; 
 
40.           Investec and its affiliates, acting as an investor for its or
their own account(s), may bid or subscribe for and/or purchase Placing Shares
and, in that capacity, may retain, purchase, offer to sell or otherwise deal
for its or their own account(s) in the Placing Shares, any other securities of
the Company or other related investments in connection with the Placing or
otherwise. Accordingly, references in this Announcement to the Placing Shares
being offered, subscribed, acquired or otherwise dealt with should be read as
including any offer to, or subscription, acquisition or dealing by, Investec
and/or any of their respective affiliates acting as an investor for its or
their own account(s). Neither Investec nor the Company intend to disclose the
extent of any such investment or transaction otherwise than in accordance with
any legal or regulatory obligation to do so;

laundering and terrorist financing under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, the
Terrorism Act 2000, the Terrorism Act 2006 and the Money Laundering
Regulations 2007 (together, the "Regulations") and, if making payment on
behalf of a third party, that satisfactory evidence has been obtained and
recorded by it to verify the identity of the third party as required by the
Regulations; 
 
42.           it is aware of the obligations regarding insider dealing in the
Criminal Justice Act 1993, section 118 of the FSMA and the Proceeds of Crime
Act 2002 and confirms that it has and will continue to comply with those
obligations; 
 
43.           in order to ensure compliance with the Money Laundering
Regulations 2007, Investec (for itself and as agent on behalf of the Company)
or the Company's registrars may, in their absolute discretion, require
verification of its identity. Pending the provision to Investec or the
Company's registrars, as applicable, of evidence of identity, definitive
certificates in respect of the Placing Shares may be retained at Investec's
absolute discretion or, where appropriate, delivery of the Placing Shares to
it in uncertificated form may be delayed at Investec's or the Company's
registrars', as the case may be, absolute discretion. If within a reasonable
time after a request for verification of identity Investec (for itself and as
agent on behalf of the Company) or the Company's registrars have not received
evidence satisfactory to them, Investec and/or the Company may, at its
absolute discretion, terminate its commitment in respect of the Placing, in
which event the monies payable on acceptance of allotment will, if already
paid, be returned without interest to the account of the drawee's bank from
which they were originally debited;

international investment matters as is required to evaluate the merits and
risks of subscribing for the Placing Shares.  It further acknowledges that it
is experienced in investing in securities of this nature and is aware that it
may be required to bear, and is able to bear, the economic risk of, and is
able to sustain, a complete loss in connection with the Placing.  It has
relied upon its own examination and due diligence of the Company and its
affiliates taken as a whole, and the terms of the Placing, including the
merits and risks involved; 
 
46.           it irrevocably appoints any duly authorised officer of Investec
as its agent for the purpose of executing and delivering to the Company and/or
its registrars any documents on its behalf necessary to enable it to be
registered as the holder of any of the Placing Shares for which it agrees to
subscribe or purchase upon the terms of this Announcement; 
 
47.           the Company, Investec and others (including each of their
respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers and employees) will rely
upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representations, warranties,
acknowledgements and agreements, which are given to Investec on its own behalf
and on behalf of the Company and are irrevocable; 
 
48.           if it is acquiring the Placing Shares as a fiduciary or agent
for one or more investor accounts, it has full power and authority to make,

51.           the Placing Shares will be issued subject to the terms and
conditions of this Appendix; and

forms a part and/or any agreements entered into pursuant to these terms and
conditions and all agreements to acquire shares pursuant to the Placing will
be governed by and construed in accordance with English law and it submits to
the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts in relation to any claim,
dispute or matter arising out of any such contract, except that enforcement
proceedings in respect of the obligation to make payment for the Placing
Shares (together with any interest chargeable thereon) may be taken by the
Company or Investec in any jurisdiction in which the relevant Placee is
incorporated or in which any of its securities have a quotation on a
recognised stock exchange. 
 
By participating in the Placing, each Placee (and any person acting on such
Placee's behalf) agrees to indemnify and hold the Company, Investec and each
of their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers and employees
harmless from any and all costs, claims, liabilities and expenses (including
legal fees and expenses) arising out of or in connection with any breach of
the representations, warranties, acknowledgements, agreements and undertakings
given by the Placee (and any person acting on such Placee's behalf) in this
Appendix or incurred by Investec, the Company or each of their respective
affiliates, agents, directors, officers or employees arising from the
performance of the Placee's obligations as set out in this Announcement, and
further agrees that the provisions of this Appendix shall survive after the
completion of the Placing. 
 
The agreement to allot and issue Placing Shares to Placees (or the persons for
whom Placees are contracting as agent) free of stamp duty and stamp duty
reserve tax in the United Kingdom relates only to their allotment and issue to
Placees, or such persons as they nominate as their agents, direct by the
Company.  Such agreement assumes that the Placing Shares are not being
acquired in connection with arrangements to issue depositary receipts or to
transfer the Placing Shares into a clearance service.  If there are any such
arrangements, or the settlement related to any other dealings in the Placing
Shares, stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax may be payable.  In that event,
the Placee agrees that it shall be responsible for such stamp duty or stamp
duty reserve tax and neither the Company nor Investec shall be responsible for
such stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax.  If this is the case, each Placee
should seek its own advice and they should notify Investec accordingly.  In
addition, Placees should note that they will be liable for any capital duty,
stamp duty and all other stamp, issue, securities, transfer, registration,
documentary or other duties or taxes (including any interest, fines or
penalties relating thereto) payable outside the United Kingdom by them or any
other person on the acquisition by them of any Placing Shares or the agreement
by them to acquire any Placing Shares and each Placee, or the Placee's
nominee, in respect of whom (or in respect of the person for whom it is
participating in the Placing as an agent or nominee) the allocation,
allotment, issue or delivery of Placing Shares has given rise to such
non-United Kingdom stamp, registration, documentary, transfer or similar taxes
or duties undertakes to pay such taxes and duties, including any interest and
penalties (if applicable), forthwith and to indemnify on an after-tax basis
and to hold harmless the Company and Investec in the event that either the
Company and/or Investec have incurred any such liability to such taxes or
duties. 
 
Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of the Placee acknowledges that
Investec does not owe any fiduciary or other duties to any Placee in respect
of any representations, warranties, undertakings, acknowledgements, agreements
or indemnities in the Placing Agreement. 
 
Each Placee and any person acting on behalf of the Placee acknowledges and
agrees that Investec may (at its absolute discretion) satisfy its obligations
to procure Placees by itself agreeing to become a Placee in respect of some or
all of the Placing Shares or by nominating any connected or associated person
to do so. 
 
When a Placee or any person acting on behalf of the Placee is dealing with
Investec, any money held in an account with Investec on behalf of the Placee
and/or any person acting on behalf of the Placee will not be treated as client
money within the meaning of the relevant rules and regulations of the FCA made
under the FSMA.  Each Placee acknowledges that the money will not be subject
to the protections conferred by the client money rules: as a consequence this
money will not be segregated from Investec's money in accordance with the
client money rules and will be held by it under a banking relationship and not
as trustee.
