2 If the ‘End Date’ is amended as discussed in paragraph 1, the definitions in the Option Deed are amended as follows:

Exercise Period	the period commencing on the earlier of:
	(a)    the date which is one month before the Revised End Date; and
	(b)    the date on which it becomes likely that the Scheme will not become effective by the date one month before the Revised End Date
	and ending on the Expiry Date.
Expiry Date	the earlier of:
	(a)    the Revised End Date; and
	(b)    the date of the implementation of the Scheme.

There will be no change to the definition of Exercise Period or Expiry Date if the End Date is not amended.
