(2)The amendments made by subsection (1) have effect in relation to options granted on or after 6th April 2007.
(3)They also have effect in relation to a qualifying option within subsection (4), for the purpose of determining at any time on or after that date whether an activity is an excluded activity.

(a)it had not been exercised, and
(b)no disqualifying event had occurred in relation to it.
(5)Subsection (6) applies in respect of an option within subsection (4) if—
(a)immediately before 6th April 2007—
(i)the right to exploit an intangible asset (“the asset”) was vested in the relevant company or a subsidiary of it (in either case, alone or jointly with others), and
(ii)the asset was a relevant intangible asset,
(b)at any time on or after that date, an activity carried on by the relevant company or a subsidiary of it would be an excluded activity by reason only of the receipt of royalties or licence fees attributable to the exploitation of the asset, and
