Shares. In addition, the Pledgor and the Pledgee shall, if reasonably
practicable, at the time of or, if not practicable at such time, as soon

arrange that the attribution of the Voting Rights attaching thereto shall
be ratified if that is reasonably deemed necessary, in the Pledgee's sole
discretion, to enable the Pledgee to exercise such voting rights upon the
occurrence of the condition precedent as provided in Article 3.1 of this
deed. If such ratification is, at the Pledgee's sole discretion, not
obtained in time, the Pledgor shall fully co-operate in the taking of such
other reasonable measures relating to such transfer of voting rights as
are proposed by the Pledgee.
