b. the directors of the Company be and are hereby authorised to do all acts and things which they may consider necessary or expedient for the purposes of implementing and giving effect to the VSP including making any changes to the rules of the VSP necessary or desirable provided that such changes do not conflict wit the summary in this Notice of GM to any material extent; and
c. the directors of the Company be and are hereby authorised to add such number of sub-plans or appendices to the VSP for the benefit of employees of the Company and/or its subsidiaries who are located outside the United Kingdom, with such modifications as may be necessary or desirable in order to take account of local tax, exchange control or securities laws as they consider appropriate subject, however, to the conditions that:
i. any ordinary shares made available under such other sub-plans or appendices shall be treated as counting against any individual or overall limits contained in the VSP; and
ii. the benefits conferred by and limitations contained in such other sub-plans or appendices shall ensure, so far as the directors consider practicable, that the participants obtain substantially no greater benefit (before tax) than employees may obtain from participating in the VSP.
