As Special Resolutions


Resolution 14


THAT, the Directors be and are hereby empowered pursuant to section 95 of the
Companies Act to allot equity securities (as defined in section 94(2) of the
Companies Act) for cash as if section 89(1) of the Companies Act did not apply
to any such allotment provided that this power shall be limited to the allotment
of equity securities:

14.1 in connection with a rights issue; and

14.2 otherwise than in connection with a rights issue, up to an aggregate
nominal amount of £3,841,878, (representing an amount equal to 5 per cent of the
Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 24 May 2007).

in each case for a period expiring on the earlier of 4 October 2008 or the
Company's annual general meeting in 2008 and save that the Directors may before
such expiry make an offer or agreement which would or might require equity
securities to be allotted after the expiry of such period.

For the purposes of this Resolution 14,

(i) 'rights issue' means an offer of equity securities open for acceptance for a
period fixed by the Directors to holders (other than the Company) on the
register on a record date fixed by the Directors of ordinary shares in
proportion to their respective holdings (for which purpose holdings in
certificated and uncertificated form may be treated as separate holdings) but
subject to such exclusions or other arrangements as the Directors may deem
necessary or expedient in relation to fractional entitlements or legal or
practical problems under the laws of, or the requirements of any recognised
regulatory body or any stock exchange in, any territory;

(ii) references to an allotment of equity securities shall include a sale of
treasury shares; and

(iii) the nominal amount of any securities shall be taken to be, in the case of
rights to subscribe for or convert any securities into shares of the Company,
the nominal amount of such shares which may be allotted pursuant to such rights.

The power conferred by this Resolution 14, insofar as it relates to the
allotment of equity securities rather than the sale of treasury shares, is
granted pursuant to Resolution 13 above conferring authority under section 80 of
the Companies Act.

            FOR                       AGAINST                    WITHHELD

15.1          the maximum aggregate number of ordinary shares authorised to be
purchased is £7,683,756 (representing an amount equal to 10 per cent of the
Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 24 May 2007).;

15.2          the minimum price which may be paid for an ordinary share is £0.25
per ordinary share;

15.3 the maximum price which may be paid for an ordinary share is an amount
equal to the higher of (i) 105% of the average of the closing price of the
Company's ordinary shares as derived from the London Stock Exchange Daily
Official List for the five business days immediately preceding the day on which
such ordinary share is contracted to be purchased or (ii) the higher of the
price of the last independent trade and the highest current bid as stipulated by
article 5(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) 22 December 2003 implementing the
Market Abuse Directive as regards exemptions for buy-back programmes and
stabilisation of financial instruments (No 2273/2003);

15.4 unless previously renewed, varied or revoked, this authority shall continue
for a period expiring on the earlier of 4 October 2008 or the Company's annual
general meeting in 2008, save that the Company may make a contract or contracts
to purchase ordinary shares under this authority before the expiry of such
authority which will or may be executed wholly or partly after the expiry of
such authority.

shall be taken to have agreed that the Company may send or supply notices,
documents or information to him in that manner.
