which will be required to obtain

date upon which the Option is exercised;"
2.1.2 Clause 2.5 of the Option Agreement shall be deleted and shall be
replaced by the following new clauses:
"2.5 Following the exercise of the Option the exchange of the "A"
Shares for the Option Shares shall be conditional upon the
Grantor's shareholders consenting to the exchange as required
by any applicable NASDAQ or SEC Regulations (the
2
"Condition Precedent").
2.6 The Grantor shall use its best endeavours to fulfil or procure

discretion considers appropriate. If the Grantee does extend the
period for the fulfilment of the Condition Precedent in

date by which the Condition Precedent must be fulfilled shall

date set out opposite the definition of the Long Stop Date in
Clause 1.1.
2.8 In the event that the Condition Precedent is not fulfilled by the
Long Stop Date, then subject to Clause 2.7 the Grantor and the
Grantee shall not be bound to make the exchange and this
