Theirrevocableundertakingsgiven by James Faulds, Ana Stewart, Ian Sunter, Mark Hogarth, Ralph Hasselgren, Richard Swinfen and James Vincent will cease tobe bindingif:

(i)                            the Offer Document and the Form of Acceptance are not posted to i-design Shareholders within 28 days of the date of this Announcement (or such later date as Cardtronics and i-design may, with the consent of the Panel, agree);

(ii)                           should the acquisition be implemented by way of a Scheme, the Scheme Document and appropriate form(s) of proxy are not posted to i-design Shareholders within 28 days from the date of the press announcement announcing the change in structure (or such other date as the Panel may require);

(iii)                          the Panel requires that the acquisition not be made; or

(iv)                          the acquisition lapses, is withdrawn at any time or is not implemented, provided that the reason for such lapse, withdrawal or lack of implementation is not because Cardtronics has elected to switch so as to proceed with the acquisition by way of a Scheme rather than by way of the Offer or vice versa.

The irrevocable undertaking given by Sigma Technology Management will cease to be binding:

(i)               if the Offer Document and the Form of Acceptance are not posted to i-design Shareholders within three days of the date of this Announcement (or such later date as Cardtronics and i-design may, with the consent of the Panel, agree);

(ii)              should the acquisition be implemented by way of a Scheme, if the Scheme Document and appropriate form(s) of proxy are not posted to i-design Shareholders within seven days from the date of the press announcement announcing the change in structure (or such other date as the Panel may require);

(iii)             if the Panel requires that the acquisition not be made; or

(iv)             if the acquisition lapses, is withdrawn at any time or is not implemented, provided that the reason for such lapse, withdrawal or lack of implementation is not because Cardtronics has elected to switch so as to proceed with the acquisition by way of a Scheme rather than by way of the Offer or vice versa.

The irrevocable undertakings given by Hargreave Hale Limited ("Hargreave Hale"), Rathbone Nominees Limited ("Rathbone Nominees") and Scottish Enterprise will cease to be binding:

(i)            if the Offer Document and the Form of Acceptance are not posted to i-design Shareholders within 28 days of the date of this Announcement (or such later date as Cardtronics and i-design may, with the consent of the Panel, agree);

(ii)          should the acquisition be implemented by way of a Scheme, if the Scheme Document and appropriate form(s) of proxy are not posted to i-design Shareholders within 28 days from the date of the press announcement announcing the change in structure (or such other date as the Panel may require);

(iii)          if the Panel requires that the acquisition not be made;

(iv)          if the acquisition lapses, is withdrawn at any time or is not implemented, provided that the reason for such lapse, withdrawal or lack of implementation is not because Cardtronics has elected to switch so as to proceed with the acquisition by way of a Scheme rather than by way of the Offer or vice versa; or

(v)           if an Alternative Offer (as defined below) has been announced by a third party in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2.7 of the City Code. An "Alternative Offer" means an offer by a third party for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of i-design (other than any shares held by such third party or persons acting in concert with it) which the financial adviser to i-design determines (acting reasonably) represents at least a 10 per cent. premium to the value of the acquisition. In such event Cardtronics and each of Hargreave Hale, Rathbone Nominees and Scottish Enterprise agree that where, within 96 hours of the announcement of such Alternative Offer, Cardtronics further announces a revised acquisition in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the City Code, which the financial adviser to i-design determines (acting reasonably) values the i-design Shares at the same or a higher price than under the Alternative Offer, the irrevocable undertakings given by Hargreave Hale, Rathbone Nominees and Scottish Enterprise will remain in force.

"i-design Shares" means ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the capital of i-design Group plc

The irrevocable undertakings relate to the cash offer made by Cardtronics Creative UK Limited to acquire all of the i-design Shares at a price of 60 pence for each i-design Share which values the entire issued and to be issued share capital of i-design at approximately £8.5m.
