FIXED RATE SHARES



|4 | Right of Fixed Rate Shares to profits
|- | -------------------------------------



|4.1 | If the Company has profits which are available for distribution and the directors resolve that these should be distributed, the holders of the Fixed Rate Shares are entitled, before the holders of
any other class of shares, to be paid in respect of each financial year or other accounting period of the Company a fixed cumulative preferential dividend (preferential dividend) at the rate of 7 per
cent. per annum on the nominal value of the Fixed Rate Shares which is paid-up or treated as paid-up.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|4.2 | Subject toArticle 4.3 below, the preferential dividend will be paid yearly, on 31 March in respect of each financial year ending on or before that date. If this date is not a working
day, the payment will be made on the next working day.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|4.3 | When the Company has to calculate a dividend on the Fixed Rate Shares for a period other than a calendar year ending on 31 March (being another accounting period, the first dividend period
arising for the Fixed Rate Shares or otherwise), the daily dividend rate will be worked out by dividing the yearly dividend rate by 365 days. This daily rate will then be multiplied by the actual number of days which have passed in the
relevant period, but not including the date of payment, to give the amount payable for that period.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|4.4 | Except as provided in this Article, the Fixed Rate Shares do not have any other right to share in the Companys profits.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|5 | Right of Fixed Rate Shares to capital
|- | -------------------------------------



|5.1 | If the Company is wound up (but in no other circumstances involving a repayment of capital or distribution of assets to shareholders whether by reduction of capital, redeemingor buying back shares or otherwise), the holders of the Fixed Rate Shares will be entitled, before the holders of any other class of shares to:
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | repayment of the amount paid-upor treated as paid-up on the nominal value of each Fixed Rate Share;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the amount of any dividend which is due for payment on, or after, the date the winding up commenced which is payable for a period ending on or before that date. This applies even if the dividend has not been
declared or earned;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any dividend arrears on any Fixed Rate Shares held by them. This applies even if the dividend has not been declared or earned; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a proportion of any dividend in respect of the financial year or other accounting period which began before the winding up commenced but ends after that date. The proportion will be the amount of the dividend
that would otherwise have been payable for the period which ends on that date. This applies even if the dividend has not been declared or earned.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|5.2 | If there is a winding up to which Article 5.1 applies, and there is not enough to pay the amounts due on the Fixed Rate Shares, the holders of the Fixed Rate Shares will share what is
available in proportion to the amounts to which they would otherwise be entitled. The holders of the Fixed Rate Shares will be given preference over the holders of other classes of shares which rank behind them in sharing in the
Companysassets.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|5.3 | Except as provided in this Article 5, the Fixed Rate Shares do not have any other right to share in the Companys surplus assets.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|6 | Voting rights of Fixed Rate Shares
|- | ----------------------------------



|6.1 | The holders of the Fixed Rate Shares are only entitled to receive notice of General Meetings, or to attend, speak and vote at General Meetings, as set out below.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | If a resolution is to be proposed at the General Meeting to wind up the Company, they are entitled to receive notice of the General Meeting and can attend, but are not entitled to speak or
vote.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | If a resolution is to be proposed at the General Meeting which would vary or abrogate the rights attached to the Fixed Rate Shares, they are entitled to receive notice of the General
Meeting and are entitled to attend, speak and vote but only in respect of such resolution or any motion to adjourn the General Meeting before such resolution is voted on.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|6.2 | If the holders of the Fixed Rate Shares are entitled to vote at a General Meeting, each holder of a Fixed Rate Share present in person or by proxy has one vote on a show of
hands and on a poll every holder of a Fixed Rate Share who is present in person or by proxy shall have one vote in respect of each fully-paidFixed Rate Share.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|7 | Varying the rights of Fixed Rate Shares
|- | ---------------------------------------

The rights of the holders of the
Fixed Rate Shares will be regarded as being varied or abrogated if any resolution is passed for the reduction of the amount of capital paid-up on the Fixed Rate Shares but not for the repayment of the Fixed Rate
Shares at par value.

Accordingly, this can only take place if:



| |  |  | holders of at least three quarters in nominal value of the Fixed Rate Shares agree in writing; or
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a special resolution is passed at a separate class meeting by the holders of the Fixed Rate Shares approving the proposal,
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

in accordance with Article 35.

SHARES



|8 | Fractions of shares
|- | -------------------



|8.1 | If any shares are consolidated or divided, the directors have the power to deal with any fractions of shares which result
or any other difficulty that arises. Subject toArticle 8.3, if the directors decide to sell any shares representing fractions, they must do so for the best price reasonably obtainable and distribute the net proceeds of sale among
shareholdersin proportion to their fractional entitlements in accordance with their rights and interests. The directors can sell to any person (including the Company, if the Companies Acts allow this) and can authorise
any person to transfer those shares to the buyer or in accordance with the buyers instructions. The buyer does not need to take any steps to see how any
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | money he paid is used. Nor will his ownership of the shares be affected if the sale was irregular or invalid in any way.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|8.2 | So far as the Companies Acts allow, when shares are consolidated or divided, the directors can treat a shareholders shares which are held in certificated form and in
uncertificated form as separate shareholdings. The directors can also arrange for any shares which result from a consolidation or division and which represent rights to fractions of shares to be entered in the
Register as shares in certificated form where this makes it easier to sell them.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|8.3 | Where any shareholders entitlement to a portion of the proceeds of sale amounts to less than £3, that shareholders portion may at the directors discretion be distributed to
an organisation which is a charity for the purposes of the laws of England and Wales.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|9 | The power to reduce capital
|- | ---------------------------

The Companys shareholders can pass a
special resolution to reduce in any way:



| |  |  | the Companys share capital; or
| | - |  | -------------------------------



| |  |  | any capital redemption reserve,share premium account or other undistributable reserve.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is subject to any restrictions under the Companies Acts.



|10 | The special rights of new shares
|-- | --------------------------------



|10.1 | If the Companyissues new shares, the new shares can have any rights or restrictions attached to them. The rights can take priority over the rights of existing
shares, or existing shares can take priority over them, or the new shares and the existing sharescan rank equally. These rights and restrictions can apply to sharing in the Companysprofits or
assets. Other rights and restrictions can also apply, for example to the right to vote.
|---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|10.2 | The powers conferred by Article 10.1 are subject to the provisions of Article 10.5.
|---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|10.3 | The rights and restrictions referred to in Article 10.1 can be decided by an ordinary resolution passed by the shareholders. The directors can also take these decisions if they do not
conflict with any resolution passed by the shareholders.
|---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|10.4 | The rights of any new shares can include rights for the holder and/or the Company to have them redeemed. The directors may determine the terms, conditions and manner of
redemption of any such shares.
|---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|10.5 | The ability to attach particular rights and restrictions to new shares may be restricted by special rights previously given to holders of any existing shares.
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|11 | The directors power to deal with shares
|-- | ----------------------------------------



|11.1 | Subject to the provisions of the Companies Acts, these Articles and any resolution of the Company, the directors may allot

| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|11.2 | The directors shall be generally and unconditionally authorised pursuant to and in accordance with Section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 to exercise for each Allotment Period all the powers of
the Company to (i) allot shares; (ii) grant rights to subscribe for shares; and (iii) convert any security into shares, but only up to an aggregate nominal amount equal to the Section 551 Amount. By such authority
the directors may, during the Allotment Period, make offers or agreements which would or might require shares to be allotted, or rights to be granted, after the expiry of such period.
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|11.3 | During each Allotment Period the directors shall be empowered to allot equity securitieswholly for cash pursuant to and within the terms of the authority in Article 11.2 and to sell treasury
shares wholly for cash:
|---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | otherwise than in connection with a pre-emptive offer, up to an aggregate nominal amount equal to the Section 561 Amount,

as if Section 561(1) of the Companies Act 2006 did not apply to any such allotment or sale. Under such power the directors may,
during the Allotment Period, make offers or agreements which would or might require equity securities to be allotted after the expiry of such period.

| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Section 561 Amount means US$1 for the first Allotment Period and for any other Allotment Periodmeans the amount specified as such in the Relevant Special Resolution;

| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|12 | Power to pay commission and brokerage
|-- | -------------------------------------



|12.1 | The Company can use all the powers given by the Companies Acts to pay commission or brokerage to any person who:
|---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | applies, or agrees to apply, for any new shares; or

| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------

SHARES IN UNCERTIFICATED FORM



|14 | Holding shares in uncertificated form and effect of the CREST Regulations
|-- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



|14.1 | Subject to the Articles and so far as the Companies Acts allow this, the directors can decide that any class of shares can:
|---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | be held in uncertificated form and that title to such shares can be transferred using a relevant system; or
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | no longer be held and transferred in uncertificated form.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



|14.2 | These Articles do not apply to shares of any class which are held in uncertificated formto the extent that the Articles are inconsistent with the:
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | holding of shares of that class in uncertificated form;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



- 12 -



---

| |  |  | transfer of title to shares of that class by means of a relevant system; or
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | CREST Regulations.
| | - |  | ------------------



|14.3 | The directors can also lay down regulations which:
|---- | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | govern the issue, holding and transfer, and where appropriate, the mechanics of conversion and redemption, of these shares and securities;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | govern the conversion of certificated shares into uncertificated shares and the conversion of uncertificated shares into certificated shares;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | govern the mechanics for payments involving a relevant system; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | make any other provisions which they consider are necessary to ensure that these Articles are consistent with the CREST Regulations, and with any rules or guidance of an operator of a relevant
system.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These regulations will, if they say so, apply instead of the other provisions in the Articlesrelating to certificates, and the transfer, conversion and redemption of shares and other securities, and any other provisions which are not consistent with the CREST Regulations. If the directors do make any
regulations under this Article 14.3, Article 14.2 will still apply to the Articles, read with those regulations.



|14.4 | The Company may by notice to the holder of a share require that a share:
|---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | if it is in uncertificated form, be converted into certificated form; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | if it is in certificated form, be converted into uncertificated form,
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------

to enable
it to be dealt with in accordance with the Articles.



|14.5 | If:
|---- | ---



| |  |  | the Articles give the directors power to take action, or require other persons to take action, in order to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of shares; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | shares in uncertificated form are subject to that power, but the power is expressed in terms which assume the use of a certificate or other written instrument,
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the directors may take such action as is necessary or expedient to achieve the same results when exercising that power in relation to
shares in uncertificated form.



|14.6 | The directors may take such action as they consider appropriate to achieve the sale, transfer, disposal, forfeiture, re-allotment or surrender of a share in uncertificated form or otherwise
to enforce a lien in respect of it. This may include converting such share to certificated form.
|---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|14.7 | Unless the directors resolve otherwise, shares which a shareholder holds in uncertificated form must be treated as separate holdings from any shares which that shareholder holds
in certificated form.
|---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|14.8 | A class of shares must not be treated as two classes simply because some shares of that class are held in certificated form and others are held in uncertificated form.
|---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|15 | Certificates
|-- | ------------



|15.1 | When a shareholder is first registered as the holder of any class of shares incertificated form, he is entitled to receive, free of charge, one certificate for all the shares in

|---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|15.10 | If all the issuedshares of the Company, or a particular class of shares, are fully-paid and rank equally with each other for all purposes, none of those shares
will (unless the directors pass a resolution to the contrary) have a distinguishing number as long as it remains fully-paid and ranks equally for all purposes with all the shares of the same class which are issued and
fully-paid.
|----- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|15.11 | The time limit for the Company to prepare a share certificate for shares in certificated form is:

|----- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|16 | Replacement share certificates
|-- | ------------------------------



|16.1 | If a shareholder has four or more share certificates for shares of the same class which are in certificated form, he can ask the Company for these to be cancelled and replaced by a
single new certificate. The Company must comply with this request and the directors can require the shareholder to pay the Companys reasonable administrative expenses for doing so.
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|16.2 | A shareholder can ask the Company to cancel and replace a single share certificate with two or more certificates, for the same total number of shares. The Company must comply with this
request and the directors can require the shareholder to pay the Companysreasonable administrative expenses for doing so.
|---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|16.3 | A shareholder can ask the Company for a new certificate if the original is:

| |  |  | decide when and where the money is to be paid;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | decide that the money can be paid by instalments; or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | wholly or partly revoke or postpone any call.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------

A call is treated as having
been made as soon as the directors pass a resolution authorising it.



|18 | The liability for calls
|-- | -----------------------



|18.1 | A shareholder who has received at least 14 days notice giving details of the amount called, the time (or times) and place or address for payment must pay the call as required by the notice.
Joint shareholders are liable jointly and severally to pay any money calledfor in respect of their shares.
|---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|18.2 | A shareholder due to pay the amount calledshall still have to pay the call even if, after the call was made, he transfers the shares to which the call related.
|---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|19 | Interest and expenses on unpaid calls
|-- | -------------------------------------

If a call is made and the money due
remains unpaid, the shareholder is liable to pay interest on the money and any expenses incurred by the Company because of his failure to pay the call on time. The interest will run from the day the money is due until it has
actually been paid. The yearly interest rate will be a reasonable rate fixed by the directors (or, where they do not fix a reasonable rate, 10 per cent). The directors can decide not to charge any or all of such expenses and interest.



|20 | Sums which are payable when a share is allotted are treated as a call
|-- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------

If the termsof a share require any money to be paid at the time the share is allotted, or at any fixed date (whether in relation to the nominal value of the shares or any premiumwhich may apply), then the
liability to pay the money will be treated in the same way as a liability for a valid call for money on shares which is due on the same date. If this money is not paid, everything in the Articles relating to
non-payment of calls applies. This includes Articles which allow the Company to forfeit or sell shares and to claim interest.



|21 | Calls can be for different amounts
|-- | ----------------------------------

On an issue of shares, if the termsof suchshares allow, the directors can decide that allottees or the subsequent holders of such shares can be called on to pay different amounts, or that they can be called on at different times.



|22 | Paying calls early
|-- | ------------------



|22.1 | The directors can accept payment in advance of some or all of the money due from a shareholder before he is called on to pay the
money. Any payment accepted in advance of
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



- 16 -



---

| | a shareholder being called on shall, to the extent of such payment, extinguish the liabilityupon the shares in respect of which it is made. The Company can
agree to pay interest on money paid in advance until it would otherwise be due to the Company at a rate (up to a maximum yearly interest rate of 10 per cent) agreed between the directors and the shareholder.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|22.2 | The money which is paid in advance in this way shall not be included in calculating the dividend payable on the shares in respect of which the money paid in advance has been paid.
|---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FORFEITING SHARES



|23 | Notice following non-payment of a call
|-- | --------------------------------------

Articles 23 to 34 apply if a shareholder
fails to pay the whole amount of a call, or an instalment of a call, by the date on which it is due. The directors can serve a notice on him any time after the date on which the call or the instalment is due, if the whole amount
immediately due has not been paid.



|24 | Contents of the notice
|-- | ----------------------

A notice served under Article 23 must:



| |  |  | demand payment of the amount immediately payable, plus any interest and expenses incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | give a date by when the total must be paid, but this must be at least 14 days after the notice is served on the shareholder;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | state where the payment(s) must be made; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  |  | state that if the full amount demanded is not paid by the time and at the place or address stated, the Company can forfeit the shares on which the call or instalment was due.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|25 | Forfeiture if the notice is not complied with
|-- | ---------------------------------------------

If a notice served under Article 23 is
not complied with, the shares to which it relates can be forfeited at any time while any amount (including interest) is still outstanding. This is done by the directors passing a resolution stating that the shares have been
forfeited.



|26 | Forfeiture will include unpaid dividends
|-- | ----------------------------------------

All dividends which are due on (and other
money payable in respect of) the forfeitedshares, but not yet paid, will also be forfeited.



|27 | Surrender
|-- | ---------

The directors may accept a surrender of any share liable to be
forfeited pursuant to Article 25.



- 17 -



---

|28 | Dealing with forfeited shares
|-- | -----------------------------



|28.1 | The directors can sell, dispose of or re-allot any forfeited or surrendered share on any terms and in any way that they decide. The Company may keep the consideration received
from doing this. The directors can, if necessary, authorise any person to transfer a forfeited or surrendered share to any other person and may cause such other person to be registered as the holder of the share.
|---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|28.2 | The new shareholders ownership of the share will not be affected if the steps taken to forfeit or surrender the share, or the sale or disposal of the share, were invalid
or irregular, or if anything that should have been done was not done, and the new shareholder is not obliged to enquire as to how the purchase money (if any) is used.
|---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|29 | Cancelling forfeiture
|-- | ---------------------



|29.1 | After a share has been forfeitedor surrendered, the directors can cancel the forfeitureor surrender. But they can only do this before the share has been sold, re-allotted or
disposed of. This can be on any terms that they decide.
|---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|29.2 | If a share has not been sold or disposed of after three years from the date of forfeiture, the directors must cancel the share.
|---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|30 | The position of shareholders after forfeiture
|-- | ---------------------------------------------



|30.1 | A shareholder loses all rights in connection with forfeited or surrendered sharesand ceases to be ashareholderin respect of thoseshares. If the shares are in
certificated form, he must surrender any certificate for those shares to the Company for cancellation. A person is still liable to pay calls which have been made, but not paid, before the forfeitureof his
shares. He must also pay interest on the unpaid amount (at the rate of interest which was payable on the unpaid amount before the forfeiture) until it is paid. If no interest was payable before the forfeiture on the unpaid
amount, the directors can fix the rate of interest on the unpaid amount, but it must not be more than 10 per cent a year, until it is paid.
|---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|30.2 | The shareholder continues to be liable for all claims and demands which the Companycould have made relating to the forfeitedshare. He is not entitled to any credit for the value of
the share when it was forfeited or for money received by the Company under Article 28, unless the directors decide to allow credit for all or any of that value. The directors may also decide to waive any payment due either
completely or in part.
|---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LIENS ON PARTLY-PAID SHARES



|31 | The Companys lien on shares
|-- | ----------------------------

The Company has a lien on all
partly-paidshares. This lien has priority over claims of others to the shares and extends to all dividends and other money payable on the sharesor in respect of them. This lien is for any
money owed to the Company for the shares. The directors can decide to give up any lien which has arisen or that any share for a specified period of time be entirely or partly exempt from this Article. They can also decide
to suspend any lien which would otherwise apply to particular shares. Unless otherwise



- 18 -



---

| | agreed, the registration of a transfer of any share over which the Company has a lienshall operate as a waiver of that lien.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|32 | Enforcing the lien by selling the shares
|-- | ----------------------------------------



|32.1 | If the directors want to enforce the lien referred to in Article 31, they can sell some or all of the shares in any way they decide. The directors can authorise someone to transfer the shares
sold. But they cannot sell the shares until all of the following conditions are met:
|---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the money owed by the shareholder must be immediately payable;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the directors must have given a notice in writing to the shareholder. This notice must specify the shares concerned and say how much is due. It must also demand that this money is paid, and say that the
shareholders shares can be sold by the Company if the money is not paid;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the notice in writing must have been sent to or served on the shareholder, or on any person who isautomatically entitled to thesharesby law; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the money has not been paid by at least 14 days after the notice has been served.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|32.2 | The new shareholders ownership of the share will not be affected if the sale or disposal of the share was invalid or irregular, or if anything that should have been done was not done
and is not obliged to enquire as to how the purchase money (if any) is used.
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|33 | Using the proceeds of the sale
|-- | ------------------------------

If the directors sell any shares under Article
32, the net proceeds will first be used to pay off the amount which is then payable to the Company. The directors will pay any money left over to the former shareholder, or to any person who would otherwise be automatically entitled
to thesharesby law provided that the Companyslien will also apply to any money left over, to cover any money still due to the Company which is not yet payable: the Company has the same
rights over this money as it had over the sharesimmediately before they were sold. If the shares are in certificated form, the Companyneed not pay over anything left under this Article until the certificate representing
the shares sold has been delivered to the Company for cancellation.



|34 | Evidence of forfeiture or enforcement of lien
|-- | ---------------------------------------------

A director, or the Secretary, can
make a statutory declaration declaring:



| |  |  | that he is a director or the Secretary of the Company;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | that a share has been properly forfeited or surrendered or sold to satisfy a lienunder the Articles; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | when the share was forfeited or sold.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------

This will be conclusive evidence of these
facts which cannot be disputed as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the share. Such declaration shall constitute a good titleto the sharesubject to compliance with any other transfer formalities required by
law.

CHANGING SHARE RIGHTS



|35 | Changing the special rights of shares
|-- | -------------------------------------



|35.1 | If the Companys share capital is split into different classes of share, and if the Companies Acts allow this and unless the Articles or rights attached to any class of
share say otherwise, the special rights which are attached to any of these classes of share can be varied or abrogated if this is approved by a special resolution in accordance with Articles 35 and 36. This must be
passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the relevant class of shares. This is called a class meeting. Alternatively, the holders of at least three-quarters of the existing shares of the relevant class, excluding any
shares held as treasury shares, (by nominal value) can give their consent in writing.
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|35.2 | The special rightsof a class of shares can be varied or abrogated while the Company is a going concern, or while the Company is being wound up, or ifwinding up
is being considered.
|---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|35.3 | All the Articles relating to General Meetings apply, with any necessary changes, to a class meeting, but with the following adjustments:
|---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | At least two people who hold (or who act as proxies for) at least one third of the total nominal value of the existing shares of the class are a quorum. However, if this quorum is not
present at an adjournedclass meeting, one person who holds shares of the class, or his proxy, is a quorum, regardless of the number of shareshe holds.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Anybody who is personally present, or who is represented by a proxy, can demand a poll.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | On a poll, the holders of shares will have one vote for every share of the class which they hold.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | If a class meeting is adjourned for any reason including a lack of quorum, the adjourned meeting may be held less than 10 clear days after the original class meeting notwithstanding
Article 55.1.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|35.4 | This Article also applies to the variation or abrogation of special rights of shares forming part of a class. Each part of the class which is being treated differently is viewed as a separate
class in operating this Article.
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|36 | More about the special rights of shares
|-- | ---------------------------------------

The special rights of shares or
of any class of shares are not regarded as varied or abrogated if:



| |  |  | new shares are created, or issued, which rank equally with or behind those sharesor that class of shares in sharing in profits or assets of the Company;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the Companyredeems or buys back its own shares.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------

But this does not apply
if the terms of the shares or class of shares expressly provide otherwise.

|38 | More about transfers of shares in certificated form
|-- | ---------------------------------------------------



|38.1 | The transfer form for shares in certificated form must be delivered to the Transfer Office(or any other place the directors may decide). The directors may refuse to recognise a transfer
unless the transfer form:

| |  |  | is properly stamped (for payment of stamp duty) where this is required;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | is being used to transfer only one class of shares; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | is in favour of not more than four joint holders.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



|38.2 | If the share being transferred is a fully-paid-up share, a share transfer form must be signed by the person making the transfer. If the transfer is being made by a company, the share transfer
form does not need to be under that companys seal.
|---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|38.4 | The person making a transfer of shares will be treated as continuing to be the shareholder until the name of the person to whom a share is being transferred is put on the Register for
that share.
|---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|38.5 | No fee is payable to the Company for transferring shares or registering changes relating to the ownership of shares.
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|38.6 | If a share transfer is registered, or if the directors have any grounds for suspecting fraud, the Company can keep the share transfer form. Otherwise, if the directors refuse to register a
transfer, the share transfer form will be returned, when notice of refusal is given, to the person lodging it.
|---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|39 | The Company can refuse to register certain transfers
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------



|39.1 | The directors can refuse to register a transfer of any shares:
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | in certificated form, if the relevant conditions in Article 38 are not satisfied; or
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



- 21 -



---

| |  |  | where the Boardis obliged or entitled to refuse to do so as a result of any failure to comply with a notice under Section 793 of the Companies Act 2006 (see Article 67.1).
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|39.2 | If the directors decide not to register a transfer of a sharein certificated form, they must notify in writing the person to whom such share was to be transferred and the person intending to

directors do not have to give any reasons for refusing to register a transfer of any sharesin uncertificated form.
|---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|-- | -------------------------

If the Company transacts business in a country or
territory referred to in Section 129 of the Companies Act 2006, it may arrange for a branch register of the shareholders resident in that country or territory to be kept there.

PERSONS AUTOMATICALLY ENTITLED TO SHARES BY LAW



|41 | When a shareholder dies
|-- | -----------------------



|41.1 | When a sole shareholder dies (or a shareholder who is the last survivor of joint shareholders dies), his legal personal representatives will be the only people whom the Company
will recognise as being entitled to his shares.
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|41.2 | If a shareholder who is a joint shareholder dies, the remaining joint shareholder or shareholders will be the only people who the Company will recognise as being entitled to his
shares.
|---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|41.3 | This Article does not discharge the estate of any sole or joint shareholder from any liability.
|---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|42 | Registering personal representatives
|-- | ------------------------------------

A person who becomes automatically entitled to
ashareby law can either be registered as the shareholder or can select some other person to whom the share is to be transferred. The person who is automatically entitled by law must provide any
evidence of his entitlement which is reasonably required by the directors.



|43 | A person who wants to be registered must give notice
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------

If a person who is
automatically entitled tosharesby law wants to be registered as a shareholder, he must deliver or send a notice to the Company saying that he has made this decision. He must sign this notice, or
authenticate it in accordance with Article 141, and it must be in the form which the directors require. This notice will be treated as a transfer form and all of the provisions of these Articles about registering transfers of shares
apply to it. The directors have the same power to refuse to register the automatically entitledperson as they would have had in deciding whether to register a transfer by the person who was previously entitled to the shares.



- 22 -



---

|44 | Having another person registered
|-- | --------------------------------

If a person who is automatically entitled to ashareby law wants the share to be transferred to another person, he must do the following:



| |  |  | for a share in certificated form sign a transfer form to the person he has selected; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | for a share in uncertificated form transfer such share using a relevant system.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The directors have the same power to refuse to register the person selected as they would have had in deciding whether to register a transfer
by the person who was previously entitled to the shares.



|45 | The rights of people automatically entitled to shares by law
|-- | ------------------------------------------------------------



|45.1 | A person who is automatically entitled to ashareby law is entitled to any dividends or other money relating to the share, upon supplying to the Company such evidence as
the directors may reasonably require to show his title to the share, even though he is not registered as the holder of that share. However, if the directors have served a notice on any such person requesting him to choose between
registering himself or transferring the share, and such person does not comply with the notice within 90 days, the directors can withhold the dividend and other money until the notice has been properly complied with. The directors can also
withhold the dividend if the person who was previously entitled to the share could have had their dividend withheld.
|---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | to receive notices of General Meetings, or to attend or vote at these meetings; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | (subject to Article 45.1) to any of the other rights and benefits of being a shareholder,
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

unless the directors decide to allow this.



|45.3 | A person entitled to a share who has elected for that share to be transferred to some other person pursuant to Article 44 shall cease to be entitled to any rights or advantages in relation to
such share upon that other person being registered as the holder of that share.

|46 | Prior notices binding
|-- | ---------------------

If a notice is given to a shareholder in respect of a
share, a person entitled to that shareis bound by the notice if it was given to the shareholder before the name of the person entitled was entered into the Register.

SHAREHOLDERS WHO CANNOT BE TRACED



|47 | Shareholders who cannot be traced
|-- | ---------------------------------



|47.1 | The Company can sell any shares at the best price reasonably obtainable if:
|---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



- 23 -



---

| |  |  | during the 12 years before the earliest of the advertisements referred to below, at least three dividends on the shares have been payable and none has been claimed;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | after this 12-year period, the Company announces that it intends to sell the sharesby placing an advertisement in a United Kingdom national newspaper and in a newspaper appearing in the area which
includes the address held by the Company for serving notices relating to the shares; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | during this 12-year period, and for three months after the last advertisement appears in the newspapers, the Company has received no indication as to the whereabouts or existence of the shareholder or any
person who is automatically entitled to thesharesby law.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|47.2 | To sell any shares in this way, the Company can authorise any person to transfer the shares. This transfer will be just as effective as if it had been made by the registered holder of the
shares, or by a person who is automatically entitled to thesharesby law. The ownership of the person to whom the shares are transferred will not be affected even if the sale is irregular or invalid in any
way.
|---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|47.3 | The net sale proceeds belong to the Company until claimed under this Article, but it must pay these to the shareholder who could not be traced, or to the person who is automatically entitled to
thesharesby law, if that shareholder, or that other person, asks for it.
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|47.4 | The Company must record the name of that shareholder, or the person who was automatically entitled to thesharesby law, as a creditor for this money in its accounts. The
money is not held on trust, and no interest is payable on the money. The Company can keep any money which it has earned on the net sale proceeds. The Company can use the money for its business, or it can invest the money in any
way that the directors decide. However, the money cannot be invested in the Companys shares, or in the shares of any holding company of the Company.
|---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and where to hold the Annual General Meeting.



- 24 -



---

|49 | Calling a General Meeting
|-- | -------------------------

The directors can decide to call a General Meeting at
any time in accordance with the Companies Acts. General Meetings must also be called promptly in response to a requisition by shareholders under the Companies Acts. If a General Meeting is not
called in response to such a request by shareholders, it can be called by the shareholders who requested the General Meeting in accordance with the Companies Acts. Any General Meetingrequisitioned in this
way by shareholders shall be called in the same manner as nearly as possible to that in which General Meetings are called by the directors. The directors must decide when and where to hold a General Meeting.



|50 | Notice of General Meetings
|-- | --------------------------



|50.1 | Notices of General Meetings shall include all information required to be included by the Companies Acts.
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|50.2 | Notices of General Meetings must be given to the shareholders, except in cases where the Articles or the rights attached to the shares state that the holders are not
entitled to receive them from the Company. Notice must also be given to the Companys auditors. The day when the notice is served (see Article 137), or is treated as served, and the day of the General Meeting do not count
towards the period of notice. In relation to any class of shares some of which are in uncertificated form the Company can decide that only people who are entered on the Register at the close of business on a particular
day are entitled to receive such a notice. That day shall be a day chosen by the Company and falling not more than 21 days before the notice is sent.
|---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|50.3 | For the purposes of determining which persons are entitled to attend a meeting, the Company may specify in the notice of the meeting a time by which a person must be entered on the Register in order
to have the right to attend the meeting. For the purposes of determining which persons are entitled to vote at a meeting, and how many votes such persons may cast, the Company must specify in the notice of the meeting a time, not more than 48
hours before the time fixed for the meeting, by which a person must be entered on the Register in order to have the right to vote at the meeting. The directors may at their discretion resolve that, in calculating such period, no account shall
be taken of any part of any day that is not a working day (within the meaning of Section 1173 of the Companies Act 2006).

|51.3 | Where there is more than one Deputy Chairman at a General Meeting and there is more than one present, and the Chairman is not there, the Deputy Chairman to take the chair will be the longest serving Deputy
Chairman present.
|---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|51.4 | If the Company does not have a Chairman or a Deputy Chairman, or if neither the Chairman or any Deputy Chairman are present and willing to chair the General Meeting, after waiting ten minutes from
the time that a meeting is due to start, the directors who are present will choose one of themselves to act as chairman. If there is only one director present, he will be chairman if he is willing.
|---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|51.5 | If there is no director present and willing to be chairman, then a shareholder may be elected to be the chairman by a resolution of the Company passed at the General Meeting. A proxy,
who is not also a director or shareholder, cannot be appointed as the chairman.
|---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|51.6 | To avoid any doubt, nothing in these Articles restricts or excludes any of the powers or rights of a chairman of a meeting which are given by the general law.
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|52 | Security, and other arrangements at General Meetings
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------



|52.1 | The directors can put in place any arrangements or restrictions they think necessary to ensure the safety and security of people attending a General Meeting and the orderly conduct of the General
Meeting, including requiring those attending to submit to searches.
|---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|52.2 | Either the chairman of a General Meeting, or the Secretary, can take any action he considers necessary (including adjourning the General Meeting) for:
|---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the safety of people attending a General Meeting (for example, if there is not enough room for the shareholders and proxies who want to attend the General Meeting); or
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | proper and orderly conduct at a General Meeting (for example, where the behaviour of someone present could prevent the business of the General Meetingbeing carried out in an orderly way); or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any other reason to make sure that the business of the General Meeting can be properly carried out.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Where the chairman of a General Meeting or the Secretary decides to adjourn a General Meeting in this way, he can
adjourn the General Meeting to a time, date and place he decides (or indefinitely). He does not need the agreement of those present at the General Meeting to do this.



|52.3 | The directors may refuse entry to, or remove from, a General Meeting any shareholder, proxy or other person who fails to comply with such arrangements or restrictions.
|---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|52.4 | If anyone has gained entry to a General Meeting and refuses to comply with any security arrangements or restrictions, or disrupts the proper and orderly conduct of the General Meeting, the chairman
can at any time, without the consent of the General Meeting, order this person to leave or be removed from the General Meeting.
|---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|52.5 | The chairman of a General Meeting can invite any person to attend and speak at the General Meeting who they consider has the knowledge or experience of the business of the Company to assist
in the deliberations of the meeting.
|---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



- 26 -



---

|52.6 | The chairmans decision on points of order, matters of procedure or matters arising incidentally out of the business of a General Meeting will be final, as will his decision, acting in good faith, on
whether a point or matter is of this nature.
|---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|53 | Overflow meeting rooms
|-- | ----------------------

The directors can arrange for any people who they consider
cannot be seated in the main meeting room, where the chairman will be, to attend and take part in a General Meeting in an overflow room or rooms. Any overflow room must have a live video and two way sound link with the main room for the
General Meeting, where the chairman will be. The video and sound link must enable those in all the rooms to see and hear what is going on in the other rooms. The notice of the General Meeting does not have to give details of any
arrangements under this Article. The directors can decide on how to divide people between the main room and any overflow room. If any overflow room is used, the General Meetingwill be treated as being held, and taking place, in the main
room.



|54 | The quorum needed for General Meetings
|-- | --------------------------------------

Before a General Meeting starts to
conduct business, there must be a quorum present. If there is not, the meeting cannot carry out any business other than appointing a chairman. Unless other Articles say otherwise, a quorum for all purposes is two people who are
entitled to vote. They can be personally present or proxies for shareholders or duly authorised company representatives or a combination of shareholders, duly authorised company representatives and proxies.



|55 | The procedure if there is no quorum
|-- | -----------------------------------



|55.1 | This Article 55 applies if a quorum is not present either within 30 minutes of the time fixed for a General Meeting to start or within any longer period (being no longer than an hour from the time
fixed for the General Meeting to start) on which the chairman may decide and if during the meeting a quorum ceases to be present. If the General Meeting was called by shareholders it is cancelled. Any other General
Meeting is adjourned to another day, time and place stated in the notice of General Meeting or (if not so specified) as the directors may decide, provided that the adjourned meeting shall be held not less than 10 clear days
after the original General Meeting.
|---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|55.2 | If a quorum is not present within 15 minutes of the time fixed for the start of the adjournedmeeting, the adjournedGeneral Meeting shall be cancelled.
|---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|56 | Adjourning meetings
|-- | -------------------



|56.1 | Subject to Article 52, the chairman of a General Meeting can adjourn a meeting which has a quorum present, if this is agreed by those present at the General Meeting. This can be
to a time, date and place proposed by the chairman or may be an indefinite adjournment. The chairman must adjourn the General Meeting if the General Meeting directs him to. In these circumstances the General
Meeting will decide how long the adjournment will be, and where it will adjourn to. If a General Meeting is adjourned indefinitely, the directors will fix the time, date and place of the adjournedGeneral
Meeting.
|---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---

|56.2 | General Meetings can be adjourned more than once. But if a General Meeting is adjourned for more than 30 days or indefinitely, at least seven days notice must be given of the
adjournedGeneral Meeting in the same way as was required for the original General Meeting. If a General Meeting is adjourned for less than 30 days, there is no need to give notice of the adjournedGeneral Meeting, or about the business to be considered there.
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|56.3 | An adjournedGeneral Meeting can only deal with business that could have been dealt with at the original General Meeting before it was adjourned.
|---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|57 | Amending resolutions
|-- | --------------------



|57.1 | A special resolution to be proposed at a General Meeting may be amended by ordinary resolution provided that no amendment may be made other than a mere clerical amendment to correct an
obvious error.
|---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|57.2 | An ordinary resolution to be proposed at a General Meetingmay be amended by ordinary resolution provided that:
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | notice of the proposed amendment has been:
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------



| |  |  | lodged in writing at the Registered Office; or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | received electronically at the address specified for receiving notices in electronic form,
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

at least two clear business days before the time appointed for holding the General Meeting or adjournedGeneral Meeting
at which the resolution is to be proposed;



| |  |  | such notice has been given by a person entitled to vote at the General Meeting in question; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the chairman of the General Meetingdecides in good faith that the amendment is within the scope of the business of the meeting as described and does not impose further obligations on the Company.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|57.3 | If the chairman of a General Meeting, acting in good faith, rules an amendment to a resolution out of order, any error in that ruling will not affect the validity of a vote on the original resolution.
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|58 | Satellite meeting places
|-- | ------------------------



|58.1 | To assist with the organisation and administration of any General Meeting, the directors may decide that the General Meeting will be held at more than one location.
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|58.2 | For the purposes of these Articles, any General Meeting taking place at two or more locations will be treated as taking place where the chairman of the General Meeting is in attendance (to be
known as the principal meeting place) and any other location where that meeting takes place is referred to in these Articles as a satellite meeting.
|---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|58.3 | A shareholder present in person or by proxy at a satellite meeting may be counted in the quorum and can exercise all rights that they would have been able to exercise if
they were present at the principal meeting place.
|---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|58.4 | The directors can make and change such arrangements as they consider appropriate to:
|---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



- 28 -



---

| |  |  | ensure that all shareholders and proxiesfor shareholders wanting to attend the meeting can do so;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | ensure that all persons attending the meeting are able to take part in the business of the meeting and to see and hear anyone else addressing the meeting;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | ensure the safety of persons attending the meeting and the orderly conduct of the meeting; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | restrict the numbers of shareholders and proxies at any one location to a number that can be safely and conveniently accommodated there.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|58.5 | Whether any shareholder or proxy is entitled to attend a satellite meeting will depend on any arrangements then in force and stated in the notice of General Meetingor
adjourned General Meeting.
|---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|58.6 | If the communication equipment fails or if any other arrangements fail for shareholders to take part in the meeting at more than one place, the chairman may adjourn the meeting under Article 56.
Such an adjournment will not affect the validity of such meeting, or any business conducted at such meeting up to the point it is adjourned, or any action taken following such a meeting.
|---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|58.7 | A person (known as a satellite chairman) may be appointed by the directors to preside at each satellite meeting. Every satellite chairman appointed:
|---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | will carry out all requests made by the chairman of the General Meeting;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | can take whatever action they think necessary to maintain the proper and orderly conduct of the satellite meeting; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | will have all powers necessary or desirable to carry out these duties.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------

VOTING PROCEDURES



|59 | How votes are taken
|-- | -------------------



|59.1 | All Substantive Resolutions will only be decided on a poll. All Procedural Resolutionswill be decided by a show of hands, unless a poll is demanded before the resolution is put
to the vote on a show of hands or on the result of the show of hands being declared by the chairman. A poll can be demanded by:
|---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the chairman of the General Meeting;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



| |  |  | at least five shareholders at the General Meeting (including proxies of shareholders entitled to vote) who are entitled to vote;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | one or more shareholders at the General Meeting who are entitled to vote (including proxies of shareholders entitled to vote) and who have, between them, at least 10 per cent of the
total votes of all shareholders who have the right to vote at the General Meeting (excluding the rights attaching to shares held as treasury shares); or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | one or more shareholders who have shares which allow them to vote at the General Meeting (including proxies of
shareholders entitled to vote), where the
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



- 29 -



---

| | total amount which has been paid-up on their shares is at least 10 per cent of the total sum paid-upon all shares which give the right to vote at the General
Meeting.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|59.2 | A demand for a poll can be withdrawn if the chairman agrees to this. If a poll is demanded, and this demand is then withdrawn, any declaration by the chairman of the result of a vote on that
resolution by a show of hands, which was made before the poll was demanded, will stand.
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|60 | How a poll is taken
|-- | -------------------



|60.1 | If a poll is demanded or held in the way allowed by the Articles, the chairman of the General Meeting can decide where, when and how it will be carried out. The result is treated as the
decision of the General Meeting where the poll was demanded, even if the poll is carried out after the General Meeting.
|---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|60.2 | The chairman can:
|---- | -----------------



| |  |  | decide that a ballot, voting papers, tickets, or electronic means, or any such combination, will be used;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | appoint one or more scrutineers (who need not be shareholders);
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | decide to adjourn the General Meeting to such day, time and place as he decides for the result of the poll to be declared.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|60.3 | If a poll is called, a shareholder can vote either personally or by his proxy. If a shareholder votes on a poll, he does not have to use all of his votes or cast all his votes
in the same way.
|---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|61 | Where there cannot be a poll
|-- | ----------------------------

Notwithstanding any other provision in these
Articles, a poll is not allowed on a vote to elect a chairman of a General Meeting, nor is a poll allowed on a vote to adjourn a General Meeting, unless the chairman of the General Meeting demands a
poll.



|62 | A General Meeting continues after a poll is demanded
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------

A demand for a poll on a
particular matter does not stop a General Meeting from continuing and dealing with matters other than the question on which the poll was demanded.



|63 | Timing of a poll
|-- | ----------------

A poll on a resolution to adjourn the General
Meeting must be taken immediately at the General Meeting. Any other poll can either be taken immediately at the General Meetingor within 30 days from the date it was demanded and at a time and place decided on by the
chairman. No notice is required for a poll which is not taken immediately if the time and place at which it is to be taken are announced at the General Meeting at which it is demanded. In any other case, at least seven clear days
notice must be given specifying the time and place at which the poll is to be taken.

|64 | The effect of a declaration by the chairman
|-- | -------------------------------------------

On a vote on a resolution at a General
Meeting on a show of hands, a declaration by the chairman that the resolution:



| |  |  | has or has not been passed; or
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | has or has not been passed with a particular majority,
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------

is conclusive evidence of that fact
without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against the resolution. An entry in respect of such a declaration in minutes of the meeting recorded in accordance with the Companies Acts is also conclusive
evidence of that fact without such proof. This Article does not have effect if a poll is demanded in respect of the resolution (and the demand is not subsequently withdrawn).

VOTING RIGHTS



|65 | The votes of shareholders
|-- | -------------------------



|65.1 | At a General Meeting:
|---- | ---------------------



| | (i) | on a show of hands every shareholder (who is entitled to be present and to vote) who is present in person and, subject to Article 65.1(ii), every proxy present (who has been duly appointed)
shall have one vote;
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | on a show of hands, a proxy has one vote for and one vote against the resolution if the proxy has been duly appointed by more than one shareholder entitled to vote on the resolution, and the
proxy has been instructed:
| | ---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | by one or more of those shareholders to vote for the resolution and by one or more other of those shareholders to vote against it; or
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | by one or more of those shareholders to vote either for or against the resolution and by one or more other of those shareholders to use his discretion as to how to vote; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) | on a poll, every shareholder (who is entitled to be present and to vote) who is present in person or by proxy (who has been duly appointed) shall have one vote for every share which he holds.
| | ----- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is subject to Article 50.3 and any special rights or restrictions which are given to any class of
shares by, or in accordance with, the Articles.



|65.2 | A proxy shall not be entitled to vote on a show of hands or on a poll where the shareholder appointing the proxy would not have been entitled to vote on the resolution had he
been present in person.
|---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|66 | Shareholders who owe money to the Company
|-- | -----------------------------------------

Unless the Articles provide
otherwise, the only people who are entitled to attend and/or vote at General Meetings or to exercise any other right conferred by being a shareholderin relation to General Meetings, are shareholders
who have paid the Company all calls, and all other sums, relating to their shares which are due at the time of the General

Meeting. This applies both to attending the General Meeting personally and to appointing a proxy.



|67 | Suspension of rights on non-disclosure of interest
|-- | --------------------------------------------------



|67.1 | This Article applies if any shareholder, or any person appearing to be interested in shares(within the meaning of Part 22 of the Companies Act 2006) held by that shareholder, has been
properly served with a notice under Section 793 of the Companies Act 2006, requiring information about interests in shares, and has failed for a period of 14 days from the date of the notice to supply to the Company the
information required by that notice. Then (subject to the provisions of the Companies Acts and this Article, and unless the directors otherwise decide) the shareholder is not (for so long as the failure continues) entitled to
attend or vote either personally or by proxy at a shareholders meeting or to exercise any other right in relation to a shareholders meeting as holder of:
|---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the shares in relation to which the default occurred (called default shares);
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any further shares which are issued in respect of default shares; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any other shares held by the shareholder holding the default shares.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



|67.2 | Any person who acquires sharessubject to restrictions under Article 67.1 is subject to the same restrictions, unless:
|---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the transfer was an approved transfer (see Article 67.11); or
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the transfer was by a shareholder who was not himself in default in supplying the information required by the notice under Article 67.1 and a certificate in accordance with Article 67.3 is provided.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|67.3 | Where the default shares represent 0.25 per cent or more of the existing shares of a class, the directors can in their absolute discretion by notice in writing (a direction notice) to
the shareholder direct that:
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any dividend or part of a dividend or other money which would otherwise be payable on the default shares shall be retained by the Company (without any liability to pay interest when that dividend or
money is finally paid to the shareholder);
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the shareholder will not be allowed to choose to receive shares in place of dividends in accordance with Article 131; and/or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | subject to Article 67.4, no transfer of any of the shares held by the shareholderwill be registered unless:
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | either the transfer is an approved transfer (see Article 67.11);
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | or the shareholder is not himself in default as regards supplying the information required; and (in this case)
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the transfer is of part only of his holding; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | when presented for registration, the transfer is accompanied by a certificate by the shareholder. This certificate must be in a form
satisfactory to the directors and state that after due and careful

---

| | enquiry the shareholder is satisfied that none of the sharesincluded in the transfer are default shares.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|67.4 | Any direction notice can treat shares of a shareholder in certificated and uncertificated form as separate shareholdings and either apply only to shares in
certificated form or to shares in uncertificated form or apply differently to shares in certificated and uncertificated form. In the case of shares in uncertificated form the directors can only
use their discretion to prevent a transfer if this is allowed by the CREST Regulations.
|---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|67.5 | The Company must send a copy of the direction notice to each other person who appears to be interested in the shares covered by the notice, but if it fails to do so, this does not invalidate
the direction notice.
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|67.6 | A direction notice has the effect which it states while the default resulting in the notice continues. It then ceases to apply when the directors decide (which they must do within one week of the default
being cured). The Company must give the shareholder notice in writing of the directors decision as soon as reasonably practicable.
|---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|67.7 | A direction notice also ceases to apply to any shares which are transferred by a shareholder in a transfer permitted under Article 67.3 even where a direction noticerestricts
transfers.
|---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|67.8 | Where a person who appears to be interested in shares has been served with a notice under Section 793 of the Companies Act 2006 and the shares in which he appears to be interested are
held by an Approved Depositary, this Article shall be treated as applying only to the shares which are held by the Approved Depositary in which that person appears to be interested and not (so far as that persons
apparent interest is concerned) to any other shares held by the Approved Depositary.
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|67.9 | Where the shareholder on which a notice under Section 793 of the Companies Act 2006is served is an Approved Depositary, the obligations of the Approved Depositary as a
shareholder will be limited to disclosing to the Company any information relating to any person who appears to be interested in the shares held by it which has been recorded by it in accordance with the arrangement under which
it was appointed as an Approved Depositary.
|---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|67.10 | For the purposes of this Article a person is treated as appearing to be interested in any shares if the shareholder holding those shares has been served with a notice under Section 793
of the Companies Act 2006 and:
|----- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the shareholder has named that person as being so interested; or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | (after taking into account the response of the shareholder to the notice and any other relevant information) the Company knows or reasonably believes that the person in question is or may be interested in
the shares.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|67.11 | For the purposes of this Article a transfer of shares is an approved transfer if:
|----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | it is a transfer of shares to an offeror under an acceptance of a takeover offer; or
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the directors are satisfied that the transfer is made in connection with a sale in good faith of the whole of the beneficial ownership of the
shares to a person unconnected with the shareholder or with any person appearing to be interested in the shares. This includes such a sale made through a recognised investment

| | exchange or any other stock exchange outside the United Kingdom on which the Companys shares are normally traded. For this purpose any associate (as that word is
defined in Section 435 of the Insolvency Act 1986) is included amongst the people who are connected with the shareholder or any person appearing to be interested in the shares.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|67.12 | Where a person who has an interest in American Depositary Shares receives a notice under this Article 67, that person is considered for the purposes of this Article 67 to have an interest in the number of
shares represented by those American Depositary Shareswhich is specified in the notice and not in the remainder of the shares held by the ADR Depositary.
|----- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|67.13 | Where the ADR Depositary receives a notice under this Article 67, the ADR Depositaryshall only be required to supply information relating to any person who has an interest in the shares held

Depositary.
|----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|67.14 | This Article does not restrict in any way the provisions of the Companies Acts which apply to failures to comply with notices under Section 793 of that Companies Act 2006.
|----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|68 | The votes of joint holders
|-- | --------------------------

Where a share is held by joint shareholders
any one joint shareholder can vote at any General Meeting (either personally or by proxy) in respect of such share as if he were the only shareholder. If more than one of the joint shareholders votes (either
personally or by proxy), the only vote which will count is the vote of that one of them who is listed first on the Register for the share.

This limitation on Borrowings will only affect subsidiary
undertakings to the extent that the directors can restrict the borrowings of the subsidiary undertakings by exercising the rights or powers of control which the Company has over its subsidiary undertakings.

excess may be disregarded until the expiration of three months after the date on which by reason of a determination of the Companys auditors or otherwise the directors became aware that such a situation has or may have arisen.

accordance with Article 141, by him (or in any other manner which has been approved by the directors) to the Registered Office. An alternate directorneed not be a shareholder.

meeting as an alternate for more than one director, he will have one vote for each director for whom he acts as an alternate, in addition to his own vote as a director. However, he may not be counted more than once for the purposes of the
quorum. If his appointor is temporarily unable to act through ill health or disability his signature of or authentication of any directors written resolution is as effective as the signature or authentication of his appointor.

| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | is not considered to be a director for the purposes of the Articles;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | is not considered to be the agent of his appointor; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | cannot appoint an alternate director.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------



|115.6 | Subject to the Companies Acts, an alternate directoris entitled to contract and be interested in and benefit from contracts or arrangements or transactions and to be repaid expenses and to
be indemnified to the same extent as if he were a director. However, he is not entitled to receive from the Company as alternate directorany pay, except only such part (if any) of the pay otherwise payable to his
appointor as such appointor may direct the Company in writing to pay to his alternate.

THE SECRETARY



|116 | The Secretary and deputy and assistant secretaries
|--- | --------------------------------------------------



|116.1 | The Secretary is appointed by the directors. The directors decide on the terms and period of his appointment so long as allowed to do so
by the Companies Acts. The directors can
|----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | also remove the Secretary, but this does not affect any claim for damages against the Company for breach of any contract between him and the Company.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|116.2 | The directors can also appoint one or more people to be deputy or assistant secretary. Anything which the Companies Acts allow to be done by or to the Secretary can, if there is no Secretary,
or the Secretary is for any reason not capable of doing what is required of him, also be done by or to any deputy or assistant secretary. If there is no deputy or assistant secretary capable of acting, the directors can appoint any officer to
do what would be required of the deputy or assistant secretary.

THE SEAL



|117 | The Seal
|--- | --------



|117.1 | The directors are responsible for arranging for the Common Seal and any Securities Sealto be kept safely. The Common Seal and any Securities Seal can only be used with the authority
of the directors or of a committee authorised by the directors to use it. The Securities Seal can be used only for sealing securities issued by the Company in certificated form and sealing documents creating or evidencing
securities issued by the Company.
|----- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|117.2 | Subject to the provisions of these Articles which relate to share certificates, every document which is sealed using the Common Seal must be signed personally by:
|----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | one director and the Secretary; or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | two directors; or
| | - |  | -----------------



| |  |  | by a director or any other persons who are authorised to do so by the directors in the presence of a witness who attests to the signature.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|117.3 | Where a signature is required to witness the Common Seal, the directors may decide that the individual need not sign the document personally but that his signature may be printed on it mechanically,
electronically or in any other way the directors approve.
|----- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|117.4 | Securities and documents which have the Securities Seal stamped on them do not need to be signed unless the directors or the Companies Acts require this.
|----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|117.5 | The directors can use all the powers given by the Companies Acts relating to official seals for use abroad.
|----- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|117.6 | Certificates for debenturesor other securities of the Company may be printed in any way and may be sealed and/or signed for in any manner allowed by these Articles.
|----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|117.7 | As long as it is allowed by the Companies Acts, any document signed by:
|----- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | one director and the Secretary; or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | by two directors; or
| | - |  | --------------------



| |  |  | one director in the presence of a witness who attests to the signature,
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------

and expressed to be
entered into by the Company shall have the same effect as if it had been made effective by using the Common Seal.

AUTHENTICATING DOCUMENTS



|118 | Establishing that documents are genuine
|--- | ---------------------------------------



|118.1 | Any director, or the Secretary, has power to identify as genuine any of the following and to certify copies or extracts from them as true copies or extracts:
|----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any documents relating to the Companys constitution;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any resolutions passed by the shareholders or any class of shareholders, or by the directors or by a committee of the directors; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any books, documents, records or accounts which relate to the Companysbusiness.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The directors can also delegate this power to other people.



|118.2 | When any books, documents, records or accounts are not kept at the Registered Office, the officer of the Company who has custody of them is treated as a person who has been authorised by the
directors to identify them as genuine and to provide certified copies or extracts from them.
|----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|118.3 | A document which appears to be a copy of a resolution or an extract from the minutes of any meeting, and which is certified as a copy or extract as described in Article 118.1 or 118.2 is conclusive evidence for
anyone who deals with the Company on the strength of the document that:
|----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the resolution has been properly passed; or
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the extract is a true and accurate record of the proceedings of a valid meeting.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DIVIDENDS



|119 | Final dividends
|--- | ---------------

The directors may recommend the amount of any final dividend. The
shareholders can then declare dividends by passing an ordinary resolution, but the amount declared cannot exceed the amount recommended by the directors.



|120 | Fixed and interim dividends
|--- | ---------------------------



|120.1 | If the directors consider that the profits of the Company justify such payments, they can pay:
|----- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | fixed dividends on any class of shares carrying a fixed dividend on the dates fixed for the payment of those dividends; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | interim dividends on shares of any class of any amounts and on any dates and for any period which they decide.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|120.2 | If the directors act in good faith, they are not liable to any shareholders for any loss they may suffer because a lawful dividend (whether fixed or interim) has been paid under this Article on other
shares which rank equally with or behind their shares.
|----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



- 55 -



---

|121 | Dividends not in cash
|--- | ---------------------

If the directors recommend this, shareholders can pass an
ordinary resolution to direct all or part of a dividend to be paid by distributing specific assets(and in particular paid-up shares or debentures of any other company) rather than cash. The directors must give
effect to that resolution. Where any difficulty arises on the distribution and valuation of the assets, the directors can settle it as they decide. In particular, they can:



| |  |  | issue fractional certificates;
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | value assets for distribution purposes;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | pay cash of a similar value to adjust the rights of persons entitled to the dividend; and/or
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | transfer any assets to trustees for persons entitled to the dividend.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



|122 | Calculation and currency of dividends
|--- | -------------------------------------



|122.1 | All dividends will be divided and paid in proportions based on the amounts which have been paid-up on the shares during any period for which the dividend is paid. Sums which have been paid-up
in advance of calls do not count in calculating the amount of a dividend to be paid on a share. If the terms on which any share is issued provide that such sharewill be entitled to a dividend as if it were
a fully-paid-up, or partly-paid-up, share from a particular date (in the past or the future), it will be entitled to a dividend on this basis. This Article applies unless the rights attached to
any shares, or the terms of any shares, provide otherwise.
|----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|122.2 | Unless the rights attached to any shares, or the terms of any shares, or the Articlesprovide otherwise, a dividend, or any other money payable in respect of any share,
can be paid to a shareholder in whatever currency the directors decide, using an appropriate exchange rate selected by the directors for any currency conversions which are required.
|----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|122.3 | The directors can decide that a particular Approved Depositary should be able to receive dividends in a currency other than the currency in which it is declared and can make arrangements
accordingly. In particular, if anApproved Depositary has chosen or agreed to receive dividends in another currency, the directors can make arrangements with the Approved Depositary for payment to be made to the Approved
Depositary for value on the date on which the relevant dividend is paid, or a later date decided on by the directors.
|----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|123 | Deducting amounts owing from dividends and other money
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------

If a shareholder owes any
money for calls on shares, or money relating in any other way to shares, the directors can deduct any of this money (as long as it is immediately payable) from:



| |  |  | any dividend on any shares held by the shareholder; or
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any other money payable by the Company in connection with the shares.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Money
deducted in this way can be used to pay amounts owed to the Company in connection with the shares.

---

|124 | Payments to shareholders
|--- | ------------------------



|124.1 | Any dividend or other money payable in connection with the shares must be paid to:
|----- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the holder of that share;
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | if the share is held by more than one person, whichever of the joint holders names appears first in the Register;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | if the member is no longer entitled to the share, the person or persons who have become automatically entitled to thesharesby law; or
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | such other person or persons as the member (or, in the case of joint holders of a share, all of them) may direct.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|124.2 | Any dividend or other money payable in cash (whether in sterling or foreign currency) relating to a sharecan be paid by such method as the directors, in their absolute discretion, may decide.
Different methods of payment may apply to different shareholdersor groups of shareholders (such as overseas shareholders). Without limiting any other method of payment which the Company may adopt, the directors may
decide that payment can be made wholly or partly:
|----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | by inter-bank transfer, electronic form, electronic means or by such other means approved by the directors directly to an account (of a type approved by the directors) as instructed by the
shareholder or the joint shareholders; or
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | by cheque or warrant or any other similar financial instrument made payable to the shareholder who is entitled to it and sent direct to his registered address or, in the case of joint shareholders,
to the shareholder who is first named in the Registerand sent direct to his registered address, or to someone else named in an instruction from the shareholder (or from all joint shareholders).
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|124.3 | If the directors decide that payments will be made by electronic transfer to an account (of a type approved by the directors) nominated by a shareholderor joint shareholders, but no such account is
nominated by the shareholderor joint shareholdersor an electronic transfer into a nominated account is rejected or refunded, the Companymay credit the amount payable to an account of the Companyto be held until the
shareholdernominates a valid account.
|----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|124.4 | An amount credited to an account under Article 124.3 is to be treated as having been paid to the shareholder at the time it is credited to that account. The Company will not be a trustee of the
money and no interest will accrue on the money.
|----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|124.5 | The Company will not pay interest on any dividend or other money due to a shareholderin respect of his shares, unless the rights of the shares provide otherwise.
|----- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|124.6 | Payment by electronic transfer, cheque or warrant, or in any other way, is made at the risk of the people who are entitled to the money. The Company is treated as having paid a dividend if a payment
using electronic or other means approved by the directors is made in accordance with instructions given by the Companyor if such a cheque or warrant is cleared. The Company will not be responsible for a payment which is lost or
delayed.
|----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|124.7 | For joint shareholders, the Company can rely on a receipt for a dividend or other money paid on shares from any one of them.
|----- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---

|125 | Record dates for payments and other matters
|--- | -------------------------------------------

Any dividend or distribution on
shares of any class can be paid to the holder or holders of the shares shown on the Register, at the close of business on whatever day may be provided in the resolution declaring the dividend or providing for the distribution.
The dividend or distribution will be based on the number of shares registered on that day. This Article applies whether what is being done is the result of a resolution of the directors or a resolution passed at a General Meeting. The
date can be before any relevant resolution was passed. This Article does not affect the rights to the dividend or distribution as between past and present shareholders.



|126 | No interest on dividends
|--- | ------------------------

No interest is payable on any dividend or other money payable
in connection with the shares unless the terms of issue of those shares or the provisions of any agreement between the Company and the shareholders provide otherwise.



|127 | Retention of dividends
|--- | ----------------------



|127.1 | The directors may retain all or part of any dividend or other money payable in connection with the shares on which the Company has a lien in respect of which a notice has been issued
following non-payment of a call in accordance with Article 23.
|----- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|127.2 | The Company must use any amounts retained under Article 127.1 towards satisfaction of the moneys payable to the Company in respect of that share.
|----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|127.3 | The Company must notify the person otherwise entitled to payment of the sum that it has been retained and how the retained sum has been used.
|----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|127.4 | The directors may retain the dividends payable upon shares:
|----- | -----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | in respect of which any person is entitled to become a member pursuant to Article 41 until such person shall become a member in respect of such shares; or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | which any person is entitled to transfer pursuant to Article 44 until such person has transferred those shares.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|128 | Dividends which are not claimed
|--- | -------------------------------



|128.1 | If an amount is held in an account pursuant to Article 124.3, or a payment made by cheque, warrant or any other written financial instrument for an amount payable under Article 124.2 has not been
claimed, for one year after the passing of either the resolution passed at a General Meeting declaring that dividend or the resolution of the directors providing for payment of that dividend, the directors may invest the dividend or use it in
some other way for the benefit of the Company until the dividend is claimed. If a dividend has not been claimed for 12 years after either the passing of the relevant resolution either declaring that dividend or providing for payment of that
dividend, it will be forfeited and belong to the Company again.
|----- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|128.2 | If an amount is held in an account pursuant to Article 124.3, or a cheque, warrantor other written financial instrumentfor an
amount payable under Article 124.2 has been sent back or is not cashed, for two dividends in a row, the Company can stop paying dividends. If the
|----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



- 58 -



---

| | shareholderor a person automatically entitled to the shares by law claims those dividends in writing (before they are forfeited under Article 128.1), the Companymust start paying dividends by any payment method approved by the directors in accordance with Article 124.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|129 | Waiver of dividends
|--- | -------------------

Where a shareholder wants to waive his entitlement to all or
any part of a dividend, he may do so by delivering a notice in writing to that effect, signed, or authenticated in accordance with Article 141, by him, to the Company. If appropriate, the notice in writing may be signed, or authenticated in
accordance with Article 141, by whoever has become automatically entitled to thesharesby law. For the waiver to be effective, the Companymust accept the notice in writing and act on it. The Company may,
however, decline to act on the notice in writing and continue to pay dividends to the shareholder accordingly.

CAPITALISING
RESERVES



|130 | Capitalising reserves2
|--- | ----------------------



|130.1 | Subject to any special rights attaching to any class of shares, the shareholders can pass an ordinary resolution to allow the directors to change into capital any sum which:
|----- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | is part of any of the Companysreserves (including premiums received when any shares were issued, capital redemption reserves or other undistributable reserves); or
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the Company is holding as undistributed profits.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



|130.2 | Unless the ordinary resolution states otherwise the directors will use the sum which is changed into capital for the Ordinary Shareholders on the Register at the close of business on the day
the resolution is passed (or another date stated in the resolution or fixed as stated in the resolution). The sum set aside must be used to pay up in full shares of the Company and to allot such shares and distribute them
to holders of Ordinary Shares as bonus shares in proportion to their holdings of Ordinary Shares at the time or, in connection with any arrangements and proposed transactions described in a circular to the shareholders,
in such proportions as the directors determine to give effect to such arrangements and proposed transactions set out in that circular and to any valid elections made or deemed to be made by shareholders in respect of any of the arrangements
or proposed transactions set out in the relevant circular. The sharesto be allotted and distributed can be Ordinary Shares or, if the rights of other existing shares allow this, shares of some other class or of
multiple classes.
|----- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|130.3 | The directors may generally do all acts and things required to give effect to an ordinary resolutionpassed by shareholders for the purposes of this Article 130. In particular, if any difficulty
arises in operating this Article, the directors can, subject to the Companies Act 2006 and the CREST Regulations, resolve it in any way which they decide. For example they can deal with entitlements to fractions of a share. They
can decide that the benefit of
|----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|2 | Changes to Article 130 to be made pursuant to resolution 2 sub-paragraph 1(ii) proposed at the General Meeting of the Company on 28 January 2013, with effect from immediately prior to the commencement of the First
Court Hearing.
|- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---

| | fractions of a share belongs to the Company, or authorise their sale to any person, or that fractions of a share are ignored or deal with fractions of a share in some
other way.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|130.4 | The directors can appoint any person to sign any contract with the Company on behalf of those who are entitled to shares under the resolution. Such a contract is binding on all concerned.
|----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SCRIP DIVIDENDS



|131 | Ordinary Shareholders can be offered the right to receive extra shares instead of cash dividends
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|131.1 | The directors can offer Ordinary Shareholders the right to choose to receive extra Ordinary Shares, which are credited as fully-paid shares instead of some or all of their cash dividend.
Before they can do this, the shareholders must have passed an ordinary resolution authorising the directors to make this offer.
|----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|131.2 | The ordinary resolution can apply to a particular dividend or dividends (whether declared or not). Alternatively, it can apply to some or all of the dividends which may be declared or paid in
a specified period. The specified period must end no later than five years after the ordinary resolution is passed. The directors can (without the need for any further ordinary resolution) offer rights of election in respect of any
dividend declared or proposed after the date these Articles are adopted and at, or prior to, the next Annual General Meeting.
|----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|131.3 | The directors can offer Ordinary Shareholders or persons automatically entitled by operation of law the right to request new Ordinary Shares instead of cash for:
|----- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the next dividend proposed to be paid; or
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | in respect of that dividend or all future dividends (if shares are made available as an alternative to a cash dividend), until they tell the Company that they no longer wish to receive new Ordinary
Shares, or the authority given under Article 131.1 expires and in not renewed (whichever happens earlier).
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The directors
can also allow Ordinary Shareholders to choose between these alternatives.



|131.4 | An Ordinary Shareholder opting for new shares is entitled to Ordinary Shares whose total relevant value is as near as possible to the cash dividend (disregarding any tax credit) he
would have received, but no greater than such cash dividend.
|----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|131.5 | The relevant value of an Ordinary Share is a value calculated in the manner set out in the ordinary resolution or, if the ordinary resolution does not set out how the relevant
value of an Ordinary Share is to be calculated, then the relevant value of an Ordinary Share is the average value of the Ordinary Shares for the five dealing days starting from, and including, the day when the
shares are first quoted ex dividend. This average value is worked out from the average middle market quotations for the Ordinary Shares on the London Stock Exchange, as published in its Daily Official List. A
certificate or report from the Companys auditors as to the amount of the relevant value will be conclusive evidence of that amount.
|----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|131.6 | After the directors have decided to apply this Article to a dividend, they must notify eligible Ordinary Shareholders in writing of
their right to choose new Ordinary Shares. This
|----- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



- 60 -



---

| | notice should also set out the procedure by which the Ordinary Shareholders must notify the Company if they wish to receive new Ordinary Shares. Where Ordinary
Shareholders have already chosen to receive new Ordinary Shares in place of all cash future dividends, if new Ordinary Shares are available, the Company will not notify them of a right to receive new Ordinary Shares.
Instead, the Company will remind them that they have already chosen to receive new Ordinary Shares and explain to them how to tell the Company if they wish to start receiving cash dividends again.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|131.7 | The directors can set a minimum number of Ordinary Shares in respect of which the right to choose new Ordinary Shares can be exercised. No Ordinary Shareholder or person who is
automatically entitled to anOrdinary Shareby law will receive a fraction of a share. The directors can decide how to deal with any fractions left over and the Companycan, if the directors decide, receive
the benefit of any or all of these.
|----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|131.8 | The directors can exclude or restrict the right to choose new Ordinary Shares, or make any other arrangements where they decide that:
|----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | this is necessary or convenient to deal with any legal or practical problems in relation to holders of Ordinary Shares with registered addresses in any particular territory under the laws of any territory, or
requirements of any recognised regulatory body or stock exchange in any territory; or
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | special formalities would otherwise apply in connection with the offer of new Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares being represented by American Depositary Shares); or
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | it would be impractical or unduly onerous to give the right to any Ordinary Shareholder or that for some other reason the offer should not be made to them.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|131.9 | The directors can exclude or restrict the right to choose new Ordinary Shares in the case of any shareholder who is an Approved Depositary or a nominee for an Approved Depositary. They can do
this if the offer or exercise of the right to or by the people on whose behalf the Approved Depositary holds the shares would suffer from legal or practical problems of the kind mentioned in Article 131.8. If other Ordinary
Shareholders(other than those excluded under Article 131.8) have the right to choose new Ordinary Shares, the directors must be satisfied that an appropriate dividend reinvestment plan or similar arrangement is available to a substantial
majority of the people on whose behalf the Approved Depositary holds shares or that such arrangements will be available promptly. The first sentence of this Article 131.9 does not apply until the directors are satisfied of this.
|----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|131.10 | If an Ordinary Shareholder chooses to receive new Ordinary Shares, no dividend on the Ordinary Shares for which he has chosen to receive new Ordinary Shares (which are called the
elected shares), will be declared or payable. Instead, new Ordinary Shares will be allotted on the basis set out earlier in this Article. To do this the directors will convert into capital a sum equal to the total
nominal value of the new Ordinary Shares to be allotted. They will use this sum to pay up in full the appropriate number of new Ordinary Shares. These will then be allotted and distributed to the holders of the
elected shares as set out above. The sum to be converted into capital can be taken from any amount which is then in any reserve or fund (including the share premium account, any capital redemption reserveand the profit
and loss account). Article 130 applies to this process, so far as it is consistent with this Article 131.
|------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



- 61 -



---

|131.11 | The new Ordinary Sharesrank equally in all respects with the existing fully-paid-up Ordinary Shares at the time the new Ordinary Shares are allotted. The
new Ordinary Shares are not entitled to share in the dividend from which they arose or any other dividend or distribution or other entitlement which has been declared, made or paid or is payable by reference to such record date or
earlier record date.
|------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|131.12 | Unless the directors decide otherwise or the CREST Regulations or the rules of a relevant system require otherwise, any new Ordinary Shares which an Ordinary Shareholder has
chosen to receive instead of some or all of his cash dividend will be:
|------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | shares in uncertificated form if the corresponding elected shares were uncertificated shares on the record date for that dividend; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ADR DEPOSITARY



|155 | ADR Depositary can appoint proxies
|--- | ----------------------------------



|155.1 | The ADR Depositary can appoint more than one person to be its proxy. As long as the appointment complies with the requirements in Article 155.2, the appointment can be made in any way and on any
terms which the ADR Depositary thinks fit. Each person appointed in this way is called an Appointed Proxy.
|----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|155.2 | The appointment must set out the number of shares in relation to which an Appointed Proxy is appointed. This number is called the Appointed Number. The Appointed Number of all
Appointed Proxies appointed by the ADR Depositary, when added together, must not be more than the number of Depositary Shares (as calculated in Article 155.3).
|----- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|155.3 | TheDepositary Sharesattributable to theADR Depositaryconsist of the total of the number ofshares:
|----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | registered in the name of the ADR Depositary;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  |  | represented by Share Warrants which have been deposited by the ADR Depositary with the Company in accordance with Article 151; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | represented by Share Warrants which are set out in a certificate from the ADR Depositary accepted by the directors in accordance with Article 148.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|156 | The ADR Depositary must keep a Proxy Register
|--- | ---------------------------------------------



|156.1 | The ADR Depositary must keep a register of the names and addresses of all the Appointed Proxies. This is called the Proxy Register. The Proxy Register will also set out the
Appointed Number of shares of each Appointed Proxy.This can be shown by setting out the number of American Depositary Receipts which each Appointed Proxyholds and stating that the Appointed Number
of shares can be ascertained by multiplying the said number of American Depositary Receipts by such number which for the time being is equal to the number of shares which any one American Depositary Receiptrepresents.
|----- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|156.2 | The ADR Depositary must let anyone whom the directors nominate inspect the Proxy Register during usual business hours on a working day. The ADR Depositary must also provide, as soon as
possible, any information contained in the Proxy Register if it is demanded by the Company or its agents.
|----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|157 | Appointed Proxies can only attend General Meetings if properly appointed
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------

An
Appointed Proxy may only attend a General Meeting if he provides the Companywith evidence in writing of his appointment by the ADR Depositary for that General Meeting. This must be in a form agreed between the
directors and the ADR Depositary.



|158 | Rights of Appointed Proxies
|--- | ---------------------------

Subject to the Companies Acts and these
Articles and so long as the Depositary Sharesare sufficient to include an Appointed Proxys Appointed Number:



- 73 -



---

| |  |  | at a General Meeting which an Appointed Proxy is entitled to attend, he is entitled to the same rights and has the same obligations in relation to his Appointed Number of shares as if the
ADR Depositary was the registered holder of such shares and he had been validly appointed in accordance with Articles 69 to 71 by the ADR Depositary as its proxy in relation to those shares; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | an Appointed Proxy can himself appoint another person to be his proxy in relation to his Appointed Number of shares, as long as the appointment is made and deposited in accordance with
Articles 69 to 71 and, if it is, the provisions of these Articles will apply to such an appointment as though the Appointed Proxy was the registered holder of such shares and the appointment was made by him in that capacity.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|159 | Sending information to an Appointed Proxy
|--- | -----------------------------------------

The Company can send to an
Appointed Proxy at his address in the Proxy Register all the same documents which are sent to shareholders.



|160 | The Company can pay dividends to an Appointed Proxy
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------

The Company can pay to an
Appointed Proxy at his address in the Proxy Register all dividends or other moneys relating to the Appointed Proxys Appointed Number of shares instead of paying this amount to the ADR Depositary. If the
Company does this, it will not have any obligation to make this payment to the ADR Depositary as well.



|161 | The Proxy Register may be fixed at a certain date
|--- | -------------------------------------------------



|161.1 | In order to determine which persons are entitled as Appointed Proxies to:
|----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | exercise the rights conferred by Article 158;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  |  | receive documents sent pursuant to Article 159; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | be paid dividends pursuant to Article 160
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------

and the Appointed Number of shares in
respect of which a person is to be treated as having been appointed as an Appointed Proxy for such purpose, the ADR Depositarymay determine that the Appointed Proxies who are entitled are the persons entered in the Proxy
Register at the close of business on a date (a Record Date) determined by the ADR Depositary in consultation with the Company.



|161.2 | When a Record Date is determined for a particular purpose:
|----- | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the Appointed Number of shares in respect of an Appointed Proxy will be treated as the number appearing against his name in the Proxy Register as at the close of business on the Record
Date;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | this can be shown by setting out the number of American Depositary Receiptswhich each Appointed Proxy holds and stating that the number of shares can be ascertained by multiplying the said number
of American Depositary Receipts by such number which for the time being is equal to the number of shares which any one American Depositary Receipt represents; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



- 74 -



---

| |  |  | changes to entries in the Proxy Register after the close of business on the Record Date will be ignored in determining the entitlement of any person for the purpose concerned.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|162 | The nature of an Appointed Proxys interest
|--- | -------------------------------------------

Except as required by the Companies
Acts, no Appointed Proxy will be recognised by the Company as holding any interest in shares upon any trust. Except for recognising the rights given in relation to General Meetings by appointments made by Appointed
Proxiespursuant to Article 158, the Company is entitled to treat any person entered in the Proxy Register as an Appointed Proxy as the only person (other than the ADR Depositary) who has any interest in the
shares in respect of which the Appointed Proxy has been appointed.



|163 | Validity of the appointment of Appointed Proxies
|--- | ------------------------------------------------



|163.1 | If any question arises as to whether any particular person or persons has or have been validly appointed to vote (or exercise any other right) in respect of any shares (for example because the total
number of shares in respect of which appointments are recorded in the Proxy Register is more than the number of Depositary Shares) this question will, if it arises at or in relation to a General Meeting be determined by
the chairman of the General Meeting. His decision (which can include declining to recognise a particular appointment or appointments as valid) will, if made in good faith, be final and binding on all persons interested.
|----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|163.2 | If a question of the type described in Article 163.1 arises in any circumstances other than at or in relation to a General Meeting, the question will be determined by the directors. Their decision (which
can include declining to recognise a particular appointment or appointments as valid) will also, if made in good faith, be final and binding on all persons interested.
|----- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

any time must not be more than the total number of Depositary Shares which are registered in the name of the Approved Depositary or its nominee at that time.
|----- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|164.2 | The Approved Depositary must keep a register (theNominated Proxy Register) of each person it has appointed as a Nominated

|165.2 | Subject to these Articles and the relevant Act or Acts, and so long as the Approved Depositary or a nominee of the Approved Depositary holds at least his Appointed
Number of Ordinary Shares, a Nominated Proxy is entitled to attend a General Meetingwhich holders of Ordinary Shares are entitled to attend, and he is entitled to the same rights, and subject to the
same obligations, in relation to his Appointed Number of Depositary Shares as if he had been validly appointed in accordance with Articles 69 to 73 by the registered holder of these shares as its proxy in relation to those
shares.
|----- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|165.3 | A Nominated Proxy may appoint another person as his proxy for his Appointed Numberof Depositary Shares, as long as the appointment is made and deposited in accordance with Articles 69
to 73, and these Articles apply to that appointment and to the person so appointed as though those Depositary Shares were registered in the name of the Nominated Proxy and the appointment was made by him in that capacity. The
directors may require such evidence as they think appropriate to decide that such appointment is effective.
|----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|165.4 | For the purposes of determining who is entitled as a Nominated Proxyto exercise the rights conferred by Articles 165.2 and 165.3 and the number of Depositary Shares in respect of which a
person is to be treated as having been appointed as a Nominated Proxy for these purposes, the Approved Depositary can decide that the Nominated Proxies who are so entitled are the people entered in the Nominated Proxy
Register at a time and on a date (a Record Time) agreed between the Approved Depositaryand the Company.
|----- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|165.5 | When a Record Time is decided for a particular purpose:-
|----- | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a Nominated Proxy is to be treated as having been appointed for that purpose for the number of shares appearing against his name in the Nominated Proxy Register as at the Record Time; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes to entries in the Nominated Proxy Register after the Record Time will be ignored for this purpose.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|165.6 | Except for recognising the rights given in relation to General Meetings by appointments made by Nominated Proxiespursuant to Article 165.3, the Company is entitled to treat any person
entered in the Nominated Proxy Register as a Nominated Proxy as the only person (other than the Approved Depositary) who has any interest in the Depositary Shares in respect of which the Nominated Proxy has been
appointed.
|----- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|165.7 | At a General Meeting the chairman of the General Meeting has the final decision as to whether any person has the right to vote or exercise any other right relating to any Depositary
Shares. In any other situation, the directors have the final decision as to whether any person has the right to exercise any right relating to any Depositary Shares.

Glossary

About the glossary

This glossary is to help readers
understand the Companys Articles of Association. Words are explained as they are used in the Articlesthey might mean different things in other documents. The glossary is not legally part of the Articles, and it does
not affect their meaning. The definitions are intended to be a general guidethey are not precise.

abrogate If the special rights of a
share are abrogated, they are cancelled or withdrawn.

accrue If interest is accruing, it is running or mounting up, day by
day.

adjourned In relation to a shareholders meeting, means that the meeting has come to an end for the time being, to be continued
at a later time or day, at the same or a different place and adjourned and adjourn shall be construed accordingly.

agent A person
who has been appointed to act for another person.

allot When new shares are allotted, they are set aside for the person they are
intended for. This will normally be after the person has agreed to pay for a new share, or has become entitled to a new share for any other reason. As soon as a share is allotted, that person gets the right to have his
name put on the register of shareholders. When he has been registered, the share has also been issued.

allottee A person to
whom a share is allotted (see renunciation).

asset Any property of any description which is of any value to its owner.

attorney Anattorney is a person who has been appointed to act for another person in a particular way. The person is appointed by a formal
document, called a power of attorney.

automatically entitled to a share by law In some situations, a person will be entitled to have
shares which are registered in somebody elses name registered in his own name. Or he can require the shares to be transferred to another person. When a shareholder dies, or the sole survivor of joint shareholders
dies, his personal representatives have this right. If a shareholderis made bankrupt, his trustee in bankruptcy has the right.

beneficial interest A person on whose behalf or for whose benefit a trustee holds shares has a beneficial interest in those
shares.

brokerage Commission which is paid to a broker by a companyissuingshares, where the brokers clients
have applied for shares.

call A call to pay money which is due on shares which has not yet been paid. This happens if the
Companyissuesshares which are partly-paid, where money remains to be paid to the Companyfor the shares. The money which has not been paid can be called for. If all the money to be paid
on a share has been paid, the share is called a fully-paidshare.

capital redemption reserve A reserve
of funds which a company may have to set up to ensure that the Companys capital base remains the same when shares are redeemed or bought back. It is equivalent to the amount by which the Companys issued
share capital is reduced by the redemption or purchase.

casual vacancy A vacancy amongst the directors which occurs by reason of the death,
resignation or disqualification of a director, or from the failure of an elected director to accept his



- 88 -



---

appointment, or for any other reason except the retirement of a director in accordance with the Articles.

charge See lien and charge.

consolidate
When shares are consolidated, they are combined with other shares. For example, every three £1 shares might be consolidated into one new £3 share.

cumulative dividends If a dividend which is cumulative cannot be paid in one year because the company does not have enough profits to cover the
payment, the shareholder has the right to receive the dividend in a future year, when the company has enough profits to pay the dividend. Compare this with a non-cumulative dividend.

debenture A typical debenture is a type of long-term borrowing by a company. The loan usually has to be repaid at a fixed date in the
future, and carries a fixed rate of interest.

declare Generally, when a final dividend is declared, it becomes due to be paid.

dividend arrears Any dividend arrears. This includes any dividends on shares with cumulativerights which could not be paid, but
which have been carried forward.

electronically Any document or information sent or supplied by electronic means.

executed A document is executed when it is signed, authenticated or sealed or made valid in some other way.

exercise When a power is exercised, it is put to use.

forfeit When a share is forfeited it is taken away from the shareholder and becomes the property of the Company which can
do with it as it likes. This process is called forfeiture. This can happen if a call on a partly-paidshare is not paid on time.

fully-paid shares When all of the money which is due to the Company for a share has been paid, a share is called a fully-paidshare.

good title If a person has good title to a share, he owns it outright.

holding company A company which controls another company (for example by owning a majority of its shares) is called the holding
company of that other company. The other companyis the subsidiary of the holding company.

rank & ranking When either capital or income is
distributed to shareholders, it is paid out according to the rank (or ranking) of the shares. For example, a share which ranks before (or ahead of) another share in sharing in the
Companys income is entitled to have its dividends paid first, before any dividends are paid on shares which rank behind (or after) it. If there is not enough income to pay dividends on all shares, the available
income must be used first to pay dividends on shares which rank ahead, and then to shares which rank behind. The same applies for repayments of capital. Capital must be paid first to shares which rank ahead
in sharing in the Companys capital, and then to shares which rank behind. The Companys Fixed Rate Sharesrank ahead of its Ordinary Shares. Where certain sharesrank equally with
other shares, both types of shares have the same rights as each other.
