 1. Option Terms and Conditions 

 

	1.1	The Option Issuer hereby grants to the Option Holder the right (an option) to purchase the Shares from the Option Issuer for a consideration which for each Company share corresponds
to 1.1 newly issued shares in the Option Holder (the 

  

 1 








 “Consideration Shares”). If the Option Holder exercises its right to purchase the Shares
and during a nine month period from the commencement of payment of consideration under the Offer increases the purchase price or if any additional or other consideration or compensation is paid for any shares issued by the Company other than
pursuant to compulsory acquisition proceedings under Swedish law, the Option Holder shall pay to the Option Issuer an additional consideration per Share equal to such increase per Company share. 
  

	1.2	The right (an option) conferred upon the Option Holder to purchase the Shares from the Option Issuer set out in section 1.1 above is subject to (i) that the recommendation by the
board of directors of the Company that the shareholders of the Company accept the Offer has not been withdrawn or materially adversely modified prior to the public announcement by the Option Holder that the Offer is implemented and (ii) that the
Option Holder implements the Offer and that the implementation is carried out by a public announcement no later than June 30, 2004. 

  

	1.3	The Option Holder shall be entitled to exercise its right to purchase the Shares from the Option Issuer by written notice to the Option Issuer in the period commencing after the
expiration of the initial application period of the Offer and ending before the public announcement is made by the Option Holder that the Offer is implemented, whereupon (i) the Option Issuer shall as soon as possible thereafter deliver the Shares
to the Option Holder in accordance with the instructions of the Option Holder, and (ii) the Option Holder shall deliver to the Option Issuer the Consideration Shares in accordance with the instructions of the Option Issuer. The ownership to the
Shares shall be transferred from the Option Issuer to the Option Holder upon delivery by the Option Holder to the Option Issuer of the Consideration Shares. An exercise of the right (an option) to purchase the Shares shall cover all and not less
than all of the Shares. 

  

	1.4	The granting of the right (an option) to purchase the Shares and the other undertakings by the Option Issuer set out in this section 1 shall become effective only if the Option
Holder makes and announces the Offer, in the form of the enclosed draft press release (Exhibit 1 hereto), on December 1, 2003 and shall automatically terminate on such date the Option Holder announces that it withdraws from the Offer.
