-
(a) the Option Certificate for the Options;
-
(b) a duly completed and signed Exercise Notice; and
-

8. Bonus Issues
On each Bonus Date, each Outstanding Option confers on the Option holder the right to receive, on exercise of those Outstanding Options, not only one Share for each of the Outstanding Options exercised but also the additional Shares and/or other securities the Option holder would have received had the Option holder participated in that Bonus Issue as a holder of Shares of a number equal to the Shares that would have been allotted to the Option holder had the Option holder exercised those Outstanding Options immediately before that Bonus Date.
9.
Participation in New Issues
Outstanding Options do not carry the right to participate in any new issues of securities by the Company prior to the exercise of those Options.

11. Compliance with Law and Orders
11.1 No Breach of Law
An Option holder must not exercise any Options, and no purported exercise has any effect, if in doing so the Option holder would be in breach of, or would cause the Company or any of its Related Bodies Corporate to be in breach of:

-
