                publication of such results for the he fiscal year ending December
                31,
                2007, as applicable. We will endeavour to agree the amount of the
                bonus as
                soon as reasonably practicable after the publication of those results
                and
                take such steps as are reasonably necessary to any bonus that is
                payable
                to be paid by CET 21.
