Note
The earnings per share of the company shall be calculated on the net basis as
defined by SSAP No.3 or on such other basis as shall have been determined by the
Board before the grant of the option.  The Board may make adjustments to the
method of calculating the Company's earnings per share or any other feature of
the performance condition set out above as it considers appropriate (and as the
auditors for the time being of the Company shall have confirmed in writing to be
in their opinion fair and reasonable) to take account of any increase in the
share capital of the Company, any change to SSAP No 3 or any other factors
considered by the Board to be relevant.
