# DEED OF ADHERENCE

Date: 15 August 2029

Parties: Lumen Fieldworks Limited, Alice Green and Noor Patel

## 1. Maker and purpose

Lumen Fieldworks Limited (Company No. 11882291) of 4 King Street, Manchester M2 6AQ, Alice Green and Noor Patel are parties to a shareholders' agreement dated 3 March 2027. I, Noor Patel of 8 Alder Road, Salford M6 5JW, now hold the shares described below.

## 2. Waiver or grant of rights

I execute this deed in favour of the Company and each existing shareholder and agree to be bound as a Shareholder under the shareholders' agreement as if I had been an original signatory. The accession is made under clause 14 of that agreement.

## 3. Conditions and confirmations

The shares are 120 ordinary shares of £0.01 each, transferred to me on 12 August 2029 under a board-approved transfer. The Company has entered the transfer in its register, subject to any Companies House filing and statutory register updates.

## 4. Property and liability

I undertake to observe the agreement's pre-emption rules, reserved-matter voting, information restrictions, transfer procedure, confidentiality and good-faith obligations. I will not hold myself out as an agent or bind the Company without authority.

## 5. Term and effect

The Company and existing shareholders confirm that joining does not amend their rights, waive an existing breach or release any obligation accrued before this deed. Any inconsistent mandatory Companies Act 2006 requirement prevails.

## 6. Legal reservations

This deed continues while I hold shares or remain bound under the shareholders' agreement. Disputes follow the escalation and courts provisions in that agreement; remedies are cumulative and no tolerance of a breach is a waiver.

## 7. Execution as a deed

Noor delivers this instrument as a deed on 15 August 2029 before an independent witness who signs and records name and address. The Company accepts it through its authorised director Alice Green. England and Wales law governs.
