reason. The Depositary assumes
no liability with respect to the
validity or worth of the Deposited
Securities.

connection with the performance
of its duties hereunder.

otherwise, and to execute such
certificates and other instruments
as may be necessary or proper to

regulations relating to the issuance
or transfer of Receipts, the receipt

other property, or the taxation
thereof or of receipts or deposited
securities, and the Depositary may
withhold the issuance or

be, who shall fail to file such

same effect as in the case of a
negotiable instrument provided,
however, that prior to the due
presentation of this Receipt for

notice to the contrary, may treat

determining the person entitled to
distribution of dividends and for
any other purpose.

assessment or charge becomes
payable by reason of any present
or future law, statute, charter
provision, bylaw, regulation or
otherwise, shall be payable by the
Owner hereof to the Depositary at
any time on request. Upon the
failure of the holder or Owner of
this Receipt to pay any such
amount, the Depositary may sell

of the amount represented by this
Receipt, and may apply the

preemptive or similar rights of the
holders of any securities and that
the person making such deposit is
duly authorized so to do. Every
such person shall also be deemed
to represent that the deposit of
such securities and the sale of
American Depositary Shares
representing such Shares by that
person in the United States are not
restricted under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended the
Securities Act of 1933. Such
representations and warranties
shall survive the deposit of such
securities and issuance of
Receipts.

all rights of the holder or Owner
hereof are expressly subject, to the

which form a part of the

7.
REPORTS OF ISSUER OF
DEPOSITED SECURITIES
VOTING RIGHTS.
As of the date of the establishment
of the program for issuance of
Receipts by the Depositary, the
Depositary believed, based on
limited investigation, that the
issuer of the Deposited Securities
either i furnished the Securities
and Exchange Commission the
Commission with certain public
reports and documents required by
foreign law or otherwise or ii
published information in English
on its Internet website at
www.smithsnews.co.uk or another
electronic information delivery
system generally available to the
public in its primary trading
market, in either case in
compliance with Rule 12g32b
under the Securities and Exchange
Act of 1934 as in effect and
applicable to that issuer at that
time. However, the Depositary
does not assume any duty to
determine if the issuer of the
Deposited Securities is complying
with the current requirements of
Rule 12g32b or to take any action
if that issuer is not complying
with those requirements.
The Depositary shall be under no
obligation to give notice to the
holder or Owner of this Receipt of
any meeting of shareholders or of
any report of or communication
from the issuer of the Deposited
Securities, or of any other matter
concerning the affairs of such
issuer, except as herein expressly
provided. The Depositary
undertakes to make available for
inspection by holders and Owners
of the Receipts at its Corporate
Trust Office, any reports and
communication received from the
issuer of the Deposited Securities
that are both i received by the
Depositary as the holder of the
Deposited Securities and ii made
generally available to the holders
of the Deposited Securities by the
issuer thereof. Such reports and
communications will be available
in the language in which they
were received by the Depositary
from the issuer of the Deposited
Securities, except to the extent, if
any, that the Depositary in its sole
discretion elects to both i translate
into English any of such reports or
communications that were not in
English when received by the
Depositary and ii make such
translations, if any, available for
inspection by holders and Owners
of the Receipts. The Depositary
has no obligation of any kind to
translate any of such reports or
communications or to make such
translation, if any, available for
such inspection.
The Depositary may, in its
discretion, exercise, in any
manner, or not exercise, any and
all voting rights that may exist in
respect of the Deposited
Securities. The Depositary may,
but assumes no obligation to,
notify Owners of an upcoming
meeting of holders of Deposited
Securities or solicit instructions
from Owners as to the exercise of
any voting rights with respect to
the Deposited Securities. Upon
the written request of the Owner
of this Receipt and payment to it
of any expense involved, the
Depositary may, in its sole
discretion, but assumes no
obligation to, exercise any voting
rights with respect to the amount
of the Deposited Securities
represented by the American
Depositary Shares evidenced by
this Receipt in accordance with
that request.
8.
DISTRIBUTIONS.
Until the surrender of this Receipt,
the Depositary a shall distribute or
otherwise make available to the
Owner hereof, at a time and in
such manner as it shall determine,
any distributions of cash, Shares
or other securities or property
other than subscription or other
rights and b may distribute or
otherwise make available to the
Owner hereof, at a time and in
such manner as it shall determine,
any distributions of subscription
or other rights, in each case
received with respect to the
amount of Deposited Securities
represented hereby, after
deduction, or upon payment of the
fees and expenses of the
Depositary described in Article 13
below, and the withholding of any
taxes in respect thereof provided,
however, that the Depositary shall
not make any distribution for
which it has not received
satisfactory assurances, which
may be an opinion of United
States counsel, that the
distribution is registered under, or
is exempt from or not subject to
the registration requirements of,
the Securities Act of 1933 or any
other applicable law. If the
Depositary is not obligated, under
the preceding sentence, to
distribute or make available a
distribution under the preceding
sentence, the Depositary may sell
such Shares, other securities,
subscription or other rights,
securities or other property, and
the Depositary shall distribute the
net proceeds of a sale of that kind
to the Owners entitled to them,
after deduction or upon payment
of the fees and expenses of the
Depositary described in Article 13
below and the withholding of any
taxes in respect thereof. In lieu of
distributing fractional American
Depositary Shares for distributed
Shares or other fractional
securities, the Depositary may, in
its discretion, sell the amount of
securities or property equal to the
aggregate of those fractions. In the
case of subscription or other
rights, the Depositary may, in its
discretion, issue warrants for such
subscription or other rights andor
seek instructions from the Owner
of this Receipt as to the
disposition to be made of such
subscription or other rights. If the
Depositary does not distribute or
make available to Owners or sell
distributed subscription or other
rights, the Depositary shall allow
those rights to lapse. Sales of
subscription or other rights,
securities or other property by the
Depositary shall be made at such
time and in such manner as the
Depositary may deem advisable.
If the Depositary shall find in its
opinion that any cash distribution
is not convertible in its entirety or
with respect to the Owners of a
portion of the Receipts, on a
reasonable basis into U.S. Dollars
available to it in the City of New
York, or if any required approval
or license of any government or
agency for such conversion is
denied or is not obtainable within
a reasonable period, the
Depositary may in its discretion
make such conversion and
distribution in U.S. Dollars to the
extent possible, at such time and
rates of conversion as the
Depositary shall deem
appropriate, to the Owners
entitled thereto and shall with
respect to any such currency not
converted or convertible either i
distribute such foreign currency to
the holders entitled thereto or ii
hold such currency for the
respective accounts of such
Owners uninvested and without
liability for interest thereon, in
which case the Depositary may
distribute appropriate warrants or
other instruments evidencing
rights to receive such foreign
currency.
9.
RECORD DATES
ESTABLISHED BY
DEPOSITARY.

other cash distribution shall
become payable or any
distribution other than cash shall
be made, or whenever rights shall
be offered, with respect to
Deposited Securities, or whenever
the Depositary shall receive notice
of any meeting of Owners of
Deposited Securities, or whenever
it is necessary or desirable to
determine the Owners of Receipts,
the Depositary will fix a record
date for the determination of the
Owners generally or the Owners
of Receipts who shall be entitled
to receive such dividend,
distribution or rights, or the net
proceeds of the sale thereof, to
give instructions for the exercise
of voting rights at any such
meeting or responsible for any
other purpose for which the record
date was set.
10.

affecting the issuer of the
Deposited Securities or to which it
is a party, or iii the redemption by
the issuer of the Deposited
Securities at any time of any or all
of such Deposited Securities
provided the same are subject to
redemption, then and in any such
case the Depositary shall have the
right to exchange or surrender
such Deposited Securities and
accept and hold hereunder in lieu
thereof other shares, securities,
cash or property to be issued or
delivered in lieu of or in exchange
for, or distributed or paid with
respect to, such Deposited
Securities. Upon any such
exchange or surrender, the
Depositary shall have the right, in
its discretion, to call for surrender
of this Receipt in exchange upon
payment of fees and expenses of
the Depositary for one or more
new Receipts of the same form
and tenor as this Receipt, but
describing the substituted
Deposited Securities. In any such
case the Depositary shall have the
right to fix a date after which this
Receipt shall only entitle the
Owner to receive such new
Receipt or Receipts. The
Depositary shall mail notice of
any redemption of Deposited
Securities to the Owners of
Receipts, provided that in the case
of any redemption of less than all
of the Deposited Securities, the
Depositary shall select in such
manner as it shall determine an
equivalent number of American
Depositary Shares to be redeemed
and shall mail notice of
redemption only to the Owners of
Receipts evidencing those
American Depositary Shares. The
sole right of the Owners of
Receipts evidencing American
Depositary Shares designated for
redemption after the mailing of
such notice of redemption shall be

Receipts evidencing such
American Depositary Shares.

governmental or regulatory
authority, or by reason of any
provision, present or future, of the
charter or articles of association or
similar governing document of the
issuer or of the Deposited
Securities, the Depositary shall be
prevented, delayed or forbidden
from or subjected to any civil or
criminal penalty or extraordinary
expenses on account of doing or
performing any act or thing which

reason of any nonperformance or
delay, caused as specified in

of any act or thing which by the
terms of this Receipt it is provided
shall or may be done or
performed, iii by reason of any
exercise of, or failure to exercise,
any discretion provided for herein,
iv for the inability of any Owner
or holder to benefit from any
distribution, offering, right or
other benefit which is made
available to holders of Deposited
Securities but is not made
available to Owners or holders, v
for any special, consequential or
punitive damages for any breach
of the terms of this Receipt or vi
arising out of any act of God,
terrorism or war or any other
circumstances beyond its control.
The Depositary shall not be
responsible for any failure to carry
out any requests to vote any
Deposited Securities or for the
manner or effect of any vote that
is cast either with or without the
request of any Owner, or for not
exercising any right to vote any
Deposited Securities.

any obligation and shall not be
subject to any liability to holders
or Owners hereunder other than
agreeing to act without negligence
or bad faith in the performance of
such duties as are specifically set
forth herein.

obligation to appear in, prosecute
or defend, any action, suit or other
proceeding in respect of any of the
Deposited Securities or in respect
of the Receipts on behalf of

persons. The Depositary shall not
be liable for any action or
nonaction by it in reliance upon
the advice of or information from
legal counsel, accountants or any
other persons believed by it in
good faith to be competent to give
such advice or information.
The Depositary, subject to Article
14 hereof, may itself become the
owner of and deal in securities of
any class of the issuer of the
Deposited Securities and in
Receipts of this issue.
12.
TERMINATION OF
AGREEMENT AND
SURRENDER OF THIS
RECEIPT.
The Depositary may at any time
terminate the agreement
evidenced by this Receipt and all
other Receipts by mailing notice
of such termination to the Owners
of all Receipts then outstanding at
their addresses appearing upon the
books of the Depositary, at least
thirty days prior to the date fixed
in such notice for termination. On
and after such date of termination
the Owner hereof, upon surrender
of this Receipt at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Depositary,
will be entitled to delivery of the
amount of the Deposited
Securities represented hereby
upon the same terms and
conditions, and upon payment of a
fee at the rates provided herein
with respect to the surrender of
this Receipt for Deposited
Securities and on payment of
applicable taxes and charges. The

and after deducting therefrom the
fees of the Depositary and

said dividends for the pro rata
benefit of the Owners of the
respective Receipts. As to any
Receipts not so surrendered within
thirty days after such date of
termination the Depositary shall
thereafter have no obligation with

disbursement of any subsequent
dividends or any subscriptions or
other rights accruing on the
Deposited Securities. After the
expiration of three months from
such date of termination the
Depositary may sell any
remaining Deposited Securities in
such manner as it may determine,
and may thereafter hold
uninvested the net proceeds of any
such sale or sales together with
any dividends received prior to
such sale or the U.S. Dollars
received on conversion thereof,
unsegregated and without liability
for any interest thereon, for the
pro rata benefit of the Owners of
the Receipts that have not
theretofore been surrendered for
cancellation, such Owners
thereupon becoming general
creditors of the Depositary with
respect to such net proceeds. After
making such sale, or if no such
sale can be made after the
expiration of one year from such
date of termination, the
Depositary shall be discharged
from all obligations whatsoever to
the holders and Owners of the
Receipts except to make
distribution of the net proceeds of
sale and of such dividends after
deducting all fees, charges and
expenses of the Depositary or of
the Deposited Securities, in case
no sale can be made, upon
surrender of the Receipts.
13.

amended by the Depositary in any
respect which it may deem
necessary or desirable. Any
amendment which shall prejudice
any substantial existing right of
Owners shall not become effective
as to outstanding Receipts until
the expiration of thirty 30 days
after notice of such amendment
shall have been given to the
Owners of outstanding Receipts
provided, however, that such
thirty 30 days notice shall in no
event be required with respect to
any amendment which shall
impose or increase any taxes or
other governmental charges,

expenses. Every Owner and
holder of a Receipt at the time any
amendment so becomes effective

provisions of applicable law.
