 -6- 

	8.	Takeover, Reconstruction, Liquidation and Sale of the Business 

  

	8.1	General Offer 

 If any person obtains Control of the Company as a result of: 

 

	 	(a)	making an offer to acquire the whole of the issued share capital of the Company which is made on a condition such that, if it is satisfied, the person making the offer will have Control of the Company; or

  

	 	(b)	making a general offer to acquire all the shares in the Company which are of the same class as those to which the Option relates; 

  

	 	(c)	negotiating a share sale and purchase agreement with the shareholders of the Company which contemplates that the person will obtain Control of the Company on completion; 

(“a General Offer”), the Option may be exercised to the extent set out in clause 8.2, in accordance with the provisions of clause
8.3. 
  

	8.2	The Option may be exercised under clause 8.1 to the extent Vested (including the additional portion which shall Vest as provided for in the Vesting Schedule) as at the date of such Offer or other event under this clause
8. 

  

	8.3	

  

	 	(a)	if the Directors (acting on behalf of the Company) notify the Option Holder as soon as practicable of the fact that such person has made an offer under clause 8.1 (the “Notification”) which may result in
that person obtaining Control of the Company (and for the purposes of this clause 8.3(a) the time that Control is obtained shall be referred to as the “Unconditional Time”), the Option Holder may deliver his Notice of Exercise and the
aggregate Option Price (under the procedure in clause 6.1) at any time in the period commencing on the Option Holder’s receipt of the Notification and ending immediately before the Unconditional Time, and any Notice of Exercise delivered in
accordance with this clause 8.3(a) shall be exercised immediately before the Unconditional Time and, on expiry of the said period the Option (to the extent not exercised in accordance with this clause 8.3(a)) shall lapse; or 

 

	 	(b)	in the event that no Notification is made (as permitted by clause 8.3(a)), the Option may be exercised within 90 days of such change of Control. The Option shall not be exercisable after 90 days from the date of the
change of Control but may still be released under clause 9 within the period of six months following the change of Control of the Company and on the expiry of the said six month period the Option shall lapse. 

For the avoidance of doubt, where a Notification is made in clause 8.3(a) and the Directors become aware that the proposed General Offer will
not proceed, the Directors shall return the Notice of Exercise and the aggregate Option Price to the Option Holder, and no exercise of the Option shall be treated as having occurred in relation to such offer under this clause 8.3. 

 

	8.4	Control 

 For the purposes of clause 8.1 a person shall be deemed to have obtained
Control of the Company if he and others acting in concert with him have together obtained Control of it. 

  
 -7- 

	8.5	Compromise 

 If any person obtains Control of the Company in pursuance of a compromise or
arrangement sanctioned by the court under section 899 of the Companies Act (“a Compromise”), the Option may be exercised to the extent set out in clause 8.2 within 90 days of the court sanctioning the Compromise. The Option shall not be
exercisable after the said 90 days but may still be released under clause 9 within the period of six months following the court sanction of the Compromise and, on the expiry of the said six month period, the Option shall lapse. 

 

	8.6	Squeeze out provisions 

 If any person becomes bound or entitled to acquire shares under
Chapter 3, Part 28 of the Companies Act, the Option may be exercised to the extent set out in clause 8.2 at any time when that person remains so bound or entitled. 
  

	8.7	Liquidation 

 In the event that a general meeting of the Company is called at which it is
proposed to pass a resolution for the members’ voluntary winding up of the Company, the Company shall notify the Option Holder as soon as practicable of this fact. The Option may be exercised to the extent set out in clause 8.2 during the
period of such notice (such exercise being conditional on such resolution being passed and taking effect immediately thereafter) and such portion of the Option not otherwise exercised before such resolution has been passed shall thereupon lapse.
Where the Option Holder has exercised the Option pursuant to this clause 8.7 and the resolution referred to above has been passed then (subject to the consent of the Company’s liquidator where such is required by section 88 of the Insolvency
Act 1986) the exercise of the Option shall take effect immediately and the Option Holder shall be entitled to share in the assets of the Company with the existing shareholders in the same manner as the Option Holder would have been entitled had the
Option Holder been the registered owner of the relevant Shares before the resolution was passed. For the avoidance of doubt, this clause 8.7 will not apply to a creditors’ voluntary winding up. 

 

	8.8	Reorganisation 

 An Option may not be exercised under clause 8.1 if the Offer is part of
a reorganisation so that the shareholders of the Acquiring Company hold their shares in the Acquiring Company in the same proportions as they held their shares in the Company. 

 

	8.9	Sale of Business 

 The Option may be exercised to the extent set out in clause 8.2 within
90 days of a Sale of the Business and the Company shall notify the Option Holder as soon as practicable of this fact. 
  

	8.10	Admission to Listing 

 If the Company’s shares are admitted to listing on the Main
Market of the London Stock Exchange, AIM or to any other securities exchange, the Option shall continue to Vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule and the Option may be exercised to the extent Vested during such periods as the Directors shall
determine in their discretion. 

  
 -8- 

	9.	Replacement Option 

  

	9.1	Grant of Replacement Option 

 If any company (“the Acquiring Company”): 

 

	 	(a)	obtains Control of the Company as a result of making a General Offer in accordance with clause 8.1; or 

  

	 	(b)	obtains Control of the Company as a result of a Compromise in accordance with clause 8.5; or 

  

	 	(c)	becomes bound or entitled to acquire the Shares under Chapter 3, Part 28 of the Companies Act in accordance with clause 8.6, or 

  

	 	(d)	obtains all the Shares as a result of a Qualifying Exchange within clause 9.3, 

 the Option
Holder may at any time within the period set out in clause 9.2, by agreement with the Acquiring Company, release the Option which has not lapsed (“the Old Option”) in consideration of the grant to him of an Option (“the New
Option”) which relates to shares in the Acquiring Company and qualifies as a Replacement Option as set out in clauses 9.4 and 9.5. 
  

	9.2	Period within which Replacement Option to be granted 

 The New Option must be granted
within the following periods: 
  

	 	(a)	if the change of Control is by reason of a general offer in accordance with clause 8.1, the period of six months beginning with the time when the person making the offer has obtained control of the Company and any
condition subject to which the offer is made is satisfied; 

  

	 	(b)	if the change of Control is by reason of a Compromise (in accordance with clause 8.5) or a Qualifying Exchange the period of six months beginning with the time when the Acquiring Company obtains Control of the
Company whose shares are subject to the Old Option; 

  

	 	(c)	if the change of Control occurs under Chapter 3, Part 28 of the Companies Act, the period during which the Acquiring Company remains bound or entitled in accordance with those procedures. 

 

	9.3	Exchange of Shares 

  

	 	(a)	An exchange of shares will be treated as a Qualifying Exchange where arrangements are made in accordance with which a company (“the New Company”) acquires all the shares (“Old Shares”) in another
company (“the Old Company”) and the following conditions are met: 

  

	 	(i)	that the consideration for the Old Shares consists wholly of the issue of shares (“New Shares”) in the New Company; 

  

	 	(ii)	that New Shares are issued in consideration of Old Shares only at times when there are no issued shares in the New Company other than: 

 

	 	(A)	 subscriber shares, and 

  
 -9- 

	 	(B)	New Shares previously issued in consideration of Old Shares; 

  

	 	(iii)	that the consideration for New Shares of each description consists wholly of Old Shares of the corresponding description; 

  

	 	(iv)	that New Shares of each description are issued to the holders of Old Shares of the corresponding description in respect of, and in proportion to, their holdings; and 

 

	 	(v)	that by virtue of section 127 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 as applied by section 135(3) of that Act, the exchange of shares is not treated as involving a disposal of the Old Shares or an acquisition of
the New Shares. 

  

	 	(b)	For the purposes of this clause Old Shares and New Shares are of a corresponding description if, on the assumption that they were shares in the same company, they would be of the same class and carry the same rights,
and references to “shares”, except in the expression “subscriber shares”, includes securities. 

  

	9.4	Qualifying requirements for Replacement Option 

 A New Option qualifies as a Replacement
Option only if: 
  

	 	(a)	the total Market Value, immediately before the release, of the Shares which were subject to the Old Option is equal to the total Market Value, immediately after the grant, of the Shares in respect of which the New
Option is granted; and 

  

	 	(b)	the total amount payable by the Option Holder for the acquisition of shares in pursuance of the New Option is equal to the total amount that would have been payable for the acquisition of shares in pursuance of the Old
Option. 

  

	9.5	Where, in accordance with this clause 9, the Option is released and a New Option granted, the New Option shall not be exercisable in accordance with clause 8 by virtue of the event which gave rise to the New Option
being granted. 

  

	10.	Loss of Position as Service Provider 

  

	10.1	The grant of the Option does not form part of the Option Holder’s entitlement to remuneration or benefits pursuant to his service contract nor does the existence of a service contract between a Service Provider and
any company give such Service Provider any right or entitlement to have an Option granted to him in respect of any number of Shares or any expectation that an Option might be granted to him whether subject to any conditions or at all and the grant
of the Option shall not give him any entitlement or expectation that further Options will be granted. 

  

	10.2	The rights and obligations of the Option Holder under the terms and conditions of his service contract shall not be affected by his entering into this Option Deed. 

 

	10.3	The Option Holder waives all and any rights to compensation or damages in consequence of the termination of his service contract with any company for any reason whatsoever, whether lawful or not, in so far as those
rights arise, or may arise, from his ceasing to have rights under or be entitled to exercise the Option under this Option Deed as a result of such termination or from the loss or diminution of value of such rights or entitlements. If necessary, the
Option Holder’s terms of service contract shall be varied accordingly. 

  
 -10- 

	11.	Adjustments 

  

	11.1	General rule 

 The number of Shares over which the Option is granted and the Option Price
thereof shall be adjusted in such manner as the Directors shall determine following any capitalisation issue, rights issue, subdivision, consolidation or reduction of share capital of the Company or any other variation of share capital to the intent
that (as nearly as may be) the total Option Price multiplied by the number of Shares that is payable in respect of the Option shall remain unchanged. 
  

	11.2	Reduction of Option Price to below nominal value 

 Subject to clause 11.3 below, an
adjustment may be made under clause 11.1 above which would have the effect of reducing the Option Price of unissued shares to less than the nominal value of a Share, but only if, and to the extent that, the Directors shall be authorised to
capitalise from the reserves of the Company a sum equal to the amount by which the aggregate nominal value of the Shares in respect of which the Option is exercisable exceeds the aggregate adjusted Option Price, so that on exercise of the Option in
respect of which the Option Price has been reduced, the Directors shall capitalise and apply such sum (if any) as is necessary to pay up the amount by which the aggregate nominal value of the Shares in respect of which the Option is exercised
exceeds the aggregate Option Price for such Shares. 
  

	11.3	Option over issued and unissued Shares 

 Where the Option subsists over both issued and
unissued Shares, an adjustment permitted by clause 11.2 above, may only be made if the reduction of the Option Price of both issued and unissued Shares can be made to the same extent. 

 

	11.4	Administrative steps 

 The Directors shall notify the Option Holder of any adjustment
made under this clause 11 as soon as reasonably practicable and may take such steps and the Company shall execute such documents as it considers necessary to give effect to such adjustment. Furthermore, and without limitation to the generality of
the foregoing, the Directors may call in, cancel, endorse, issue or reissue the Option Deed subsequent upon such adjustment. 
  

	12.	General 

  

	12.1	Notices and documents 

  

	 	(a)	The Option Holder may at the discretion of the Company be sent copies of notices and other documents sent by the Company to its ordinary shareholders generally. 

 

	 	(b)	Any notice or other document required to be given hereunder to the Option Holder shall be delivered to him or sent by first class pre-paid post to him at his home address according to the records of the Company or such
other address as may appear to the Directors to be appropriate. Any notice or other document required to be given to the Directors shall be delivered to the Directors or sent by first class pre-paid post to the Directors at the Company’s
registered office or such other address as may be determined by the Directors to be appropriate. Notices sent by post to the Option Holder shall be deemed to have been given on the fifth day following the date of posting. 

  
 -11- 

	12.2	Disputes
