-- the conditions in the Placing Agreement in respect of the First Placing Shares being satisfied or (if applicable) waived; and

   --           the conditions in the Placing Agreement being satisfied or (if applicable) waived; and 

-- the Placing Agreement not having been terminated in accordance with its terms prior to Second Admission .

Accordingly, if any of such conditions are not satisfied or, if applicable, waived, the placing of the Second Placing Shares will not proceed. However, this will not affect the allotment and issue of the First Placing Shares in the event that First Admission has occurred.
