   --           the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date in respect of each Part B; and 
   --           the fifth anniversary of the Grant Date in respect of each Part C. 

A Holding Period applies in respect of Part A and Part B of each Award as follows:

   --           the second anniversary of the date of Vesting in respect of each Part A; and 
   --           the first anniversary of the date of Vesting in respect of each Part B. 

The awards are subject to three underpins. The Remuneration Committee (the "Committee") retains discretion to reduce the number of Shares that would otherwise Vest under an Award (including to nil) in the event that one or more of the following circumstances arise:

-- the average of the closing middle market quotations for Shares (as derived from the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List or otherwise) during the one-month period ending with the last dealing day before the date the relevant Award Vest is less 28p;

-- in the reasonable opinion of the Committee (including regard to direct customer feedback using the "Do We Measure Up?" programme as relevant) there has not been an appropriate improvement in customer satisfaction between the grant of the Award and the date of its Vesting; and/or

-- in the reasonable opinion of the Committee (including regard to quality of earnings, the debt position and covenant compliance and headroom) the Company is not of sound financial footing as at the date of the Vesting of the Award.

Any such reduction shall be made to such extent and at such time or times as the Committee considers appropriate.

No Holding Period applies to other Parts or Awards. The Awards on Vesting are subject to a value cap, which is a percentage of the Directors salary at the date of the grant.
