such power shall extend to the sale of treasury shares (within the meaning of Section 724 $(b)$ of the 2006 Act) for cash as if in respect of any such sale the words "pursuant to the authority conferred by Article 4.2" were omitted from the second line of Article 4.4; and
for the purpose of such power the reference in article 4.4 (a) to "all holders (at a date $(c)$ selected by the Board) of issued Ordinary Shares (as nearly as practicable) in proportion to the number of Ordinary Shares respectively held by them" shall be deemed to exclude the Company in respect of any treasury shares held by it.
