ile signature by or on behalf of a transferor or transferee, our board of directors shall have previously been provided with a list of specimen signatures of the authorised signatories of such transferor or transferee and our board of directors shall be reasonably satisfied that such facsimile signature corresponds to one of those specimen signatures.

Our board of directors may, in its absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer of any ordinary share which is not fully paid up or on which we have a lien. Our board of directors may also decline to register any transfer of any ordinary share unless:

  the instrument of transfer is lodged with us, accompanied by the certificate for the ordinary shares to which it relates and such other evidence as our board of directors may reasonably require...  
 ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

  the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of ordinary shares;  

  the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required;  

  in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the number of joint holders to whom the ordinary share is to be transferred does not exceed four;  

  the shares are free from any lien in favor of the Company; and  

  a fee of such maximum sum as the New York Stock Exchange may determine to be payable or such lesser sum as our directors may from time to time require is paid to us in respect thereof.  
 ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

If our directors refuse to register a transfer they must, within three calendar months after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of such refusal.

The registration of transfers may, on ten calendar days’ notice being given by advertisement in such one or more newspapers, by electronic means or by any other means in accordance with the rules of the New York Stock Exchange be suspended and the register closed at such times and for such periods as our board of directors may from time to time determine; provided, however, that the registration of transfers may not be suspended nor the register closed for more than 30 days in any year as our board may determine.
