PREAMBLE
(A)The Seller, the Exiting Purchaser and the Purchaser Guarantor (the Original SPA Parties) entered into a sale and purchase agreement dated 19 February 2014 (the Original SPA) pursuant to which the Seller agreed to sell, and the Exiting Purchaser agreed to purchase (or procure the purchase of), the Shares on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Original SPA.
(B)    At the time of execution of the Original SPA, it was contemplated by the Original SPA Parties that, at any time prior to Closing, the Exiting Purchaser may transfer its rights and obligations as purchaser under the Original SPA (and its rights under the disclosure letter dated 19 February 2014 (the Disclosure Letter)) to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Purchaser Guarantor.  The Incoming Purchaser is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Purchaser Guarantor.  
(C)    The Parties have agreed that the Original SPA (and the Disclosure Letter) shall be novated on the terms set out in this deed of novation, amendment and restatement (this Deed) such that the Exiting Purchaser shall be released and discharged from its obligations under, and the Incoming Purchaser shall have the rights and benefits and assume the obligations of the Exiting Purchaser under, the Original SPA (and the Disclosure Letter, as applicable) on an ab initio basis as if the Incoming Purchaser had at all times been a party to the Original SPA (and the Disclosure Letter) as the purchaser under the Original SPA.
(D)    The Parties have agreed to amend and restate the Original SPA in the form set out in Appendix A to this Deed (the Amended and Restated SPA) such that the Amended and Restated SPA shall replace the Original SPA as if the Original SPA was in the form of the Amended and Restated SPA when originally entered into.

AGREED TERMS
		
	1.
	DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION

Unless otherwise defined herein, defined words and expressions used in this Deed shall have the meaning given to them in Schedule 14 of the Amended and Restated SPA.

	(a)
	the Original SPA Parties and the Incoming Purchaser agree that:

		
	(i)
	the Exiting Purchaser shall cease to be a party to the Original SPA and the Incoming Purchaser shall become a party to the Original SPA in place of the Exiting Purchaser (as the purchaser under the Original SPA) on an ab initio basis as if the Incoming Purchaser had at all times been a party to the Original SPA instead of the Exiting Purchaser;

		
	(ii)
	the Exiting Purchaser is hereby released and discharged from all claims, demands, liabilities and obligations under the Original SPA (howsoever arising and whether arising on, before or after the Effective Date); and

		
	(iii)
	the Incoming Purchaser shall enjoy all the rights and benefits of the Exiting Purchaser (including any accrued rights or claims as at the Effective Date);

		
	(b)
	the Incoming Purchaser undertakes to the Seller to accept, observe, perform and discharge all the liabilities and obligations of the Exiting Purchaser under the Original SPA (however arising and whether arising on, before or after the Effective Date) in place of, and as if it had always been a party thereto instead of, the Exiting Purchaser; 

		
	(c)
	the Purchaser Guarantor reconfirms its guarantee to the Seller in respect of the purchaser under, and on the terms set out in, the Original SPA (the Guarantee) and undertakes to observe, perform and discharge all its liabilities and obligations under the Guarantee in respect of the liabilities and obligations of the Incoming Purchaser under the Original SPA (however arising and whether arising on, before or after the Effective Date) in place of, and as if the Incoming Purchaser had always been a party thereto instead of, the Exiting Purchaser; and

		
	(d)
	the Seller, the Exiting Purchaser and the Incoming Purchaser agree that the Exiting Purchaser shall cease to be a party to the Disclosure Letter and the Incoming Purchaser shall become a party to the Disclosure Letter in place of

	3.
	AMENDMENT OF THE ORIGINAL SPA AND CROSS REFERENCES

		
	3.1
	With effect from the Effective Date, and following the novation of the Original SPA set out in clause 2 above, each of the Seller, the Incoming Purchaser and the Purchaser Guarantor agree that the Amended and Restated SPA shall amend and restate the Original SPA in its entirety.  The rights and obligations of each of the Seller, the Incoming Purchaser and the Purchaser Guarantor under the Amended and Restated SPA shall be as if the Original SPA was in the form of the Amended and Restated SPA when originally entered into.

		
	3.2
	For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that references in the Disclosure Letter to the Original SPA shall be deemed to be references to the Original SPA as novated and amended and restated by this Deed, and that references in the Amended and Restated SPA to the Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be references to the Disclosure Letter as novated by this Deed.

		
	4.
	WARRANTIES

		
	4.1
	The Seller acknowledges and accepts that the Incoming Purchaser is replacing the Exiting Purchaser in respect of the Original SPA and is acting in reliance upon the warranties and undertakings given in the Original SPA.

	(e)
	so far as it is aware, it is not subject to any order, judgment, direction, investigation or other proceedings by any Governmental Entity which will, or are likely to, prevent or delay the fulfilment of this Deed.

	8.
	MISCELLANEOUS

This Deed may be executed in any number of counterparts and by each Party on separate counterparts, but all the counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Delivery of a counterpart of this Deed by e-mail attachment or telecopy shall be an effective mode of delivery.
