3. THE OPTION PRICE
The price payable by the Subscriber for the Shares shall be the sum of
$1.38 per share, subject to any Adjustment.
4. EXERCISE OF THE KPN OPTIONS
(1) Within 1 Business Day of a Third Party Option Holder exercising its Third
Party Option, the Company shall serve an Exercise Notice on the Company
notifying the Subscriber that the Third Party Option Holder has exercised
the Third Party Option, referring to it by the number given to it in
Schedule 3 and describing the Corresponding Option as set out in Schedule

(2) The Subscriber shall be deemed to have exercised the Corresponding Option
subject of the Exercise Notice if it does not serve a Rejection Notice on
the Company within 2 Business Days of receiving an Exercise Notice under
subclause (1).
(3) A Corresponding Option may only be exercised in respect of all (and not
some only) of the Shares, unless the Third Party Option has been exercised
in part only, in which case the Exercise Notice shall specify that the
Corresponding Option may be exercised in part only, in respect of Shares
amounting to 100% of the number of Third Party Option Shares which were

In case of such part exercise, the Subscriber shall be deemed to have
exercised the Corresponding Option in part, as described in this clause,
if it does not serve a Rejection Notice on the Company within 2 Business
Days of receiving an Exercise Notice under subclause (1).
(4) Exercise of a Corresponding Option shall oblige the Company to issue and
the Subscriber to subscribe the Shares.
(5) The Shares shall be issued free from all liens, charges, equities and
encumbrances and together with all rights attached to the Shares at the
date of service of the Exercise Notice.
(6) If a Third Party Option is not duly exercised within the relevant period
specified in such Third Party Option, the Corresponding Option shall cease
to be exercisable and shall lapse.
(7) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company delivers an
Exercise Notice in respect of less than 500,000 Third Party Option Shares
in aggregate, the Subscriber may, within 2 Business Days of receiving the
Exercise Notice, notify the Company that it wishes to exercise the
Corresponding Option but wishes to delay the Completion Date until at
least 500,000 Third Party Option Shares in aggregate have become the
subject of this and future Exercise Notices. In such case, the Subscriber
shall be deemed to have exercised the Corresponding Option in respect of
all of the subject Shares whose subscription is so delayed, and shall
complete the subscription of the subject Shares in accordance with clause
6.
5. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT
The exercise of each Corresponding Option shall be conditional on (i)
Closing (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) under the Subscription
Agreement and (ii) exercise of the related Third Party Option.
6

6. COMPLETION
(1) Completion of any issue and subscription of the Shares following the
exercise of a Corresponding Option shall take place simultaneously with
the scheduled completion for the Third Party Option as set out in the
Exercise Notice or, if the outcome of any Adjustment is not known at that
time, the third Business Day after the outcome has been ascertained.
(2) At that time the Company shall procure the delivery to the Subscriber of:
(a) the share certificate(s) representing the Shares; and
(b) such other documents as may be necessary to enable the
Subscriber or its nominee(s) to obtain good title to the Shares.
(3) Against delivery of the documents referred to in subclause (2) above, the
Subscriber shall pay in full for the Shares in immediately available
funds.
(4) If for any reason the provisions of subclause (2) are not fully complied
with the Subscriber shall be entitled (in addition and without any
prejudice to all other rights or remedies available to it) to elect to
rescind this agreement or to fix a new Completion Date.
7. ADJUSTMENTS
If any Reorganisation takes place after the date of this agreement but on
or before the Exercise Date, all shares, stock and other securities (if
any) which become owned by the Company or to which it may be entitled as
a result of the Reorganisation shall be subject to the KPN Option and/or
the Option Price shall be adjusted appropriately to take account of any
such Reorganisation.
8. CERTIFICATION
On 15th January of each year, the secretary of the Company shall deliver
to the Subscriber a certificate (the "SECRETARY'S CERTIFICATE") setting
out, with respect to the previous 12 months:
(a) the number of Third Party Option Shares issued to Third Party
Option Holders;
(b) the number of Shares issued to the Subscriber as a result of
the exercise of KPN Options;
(c) the number of shares of common stock of the Company
outstanding as of the date of the Secretary's Certificate; and
(d) the percentage of shares in the Company owned by the
Subscriber as of the date of the Secretary's Certificate as shown in

9. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE
It being the intention of the parties that the Subscriber maintain its
