exempt from the provisions of this Article. The Companys lien on a Share shall extend to all moneys payable in respect of it.



|15. | Power of sale

be affected by any irregularity in or invalidity of the proceedings in reference to the sale, and after the name of the transferee has been entered in the Register, the remedy of any person aggrieved by the sale shall be in damages only and against
the Company exclusively.

as required by the notice the amount called on his Shares. A call may be required to be paid by installments. A call may be revoked before receipt by the Company of a sum due thereunder, in whole or in part, and payment of a call may be postponed in
whole or in part. A person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for such call notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made.

made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising the call was passed.

the Directors may waive payment of the interest wholly or in part.



25



---

|22. | Amounts treated as calls
|--- | ------------------------

An amount payable in
respect of a Share on allotment or at any fixed date, whether in respect of nominal value or by way of premium, shall be deemed to be a call and if it is not paid the provisions of these Articles shall apply as if that amount had become due and
payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.



|23. | Power to differentiate
|--- | ----------------------

Subject to the terms of
allotment, the Directors may make arrangements on the issue of Shares for different terms to apply as between the Holders in relation to the amounts and times of payment of calls on their Shares.



|24. | Interest on moneys advanced
|--- | ---------------------------

The Directors, if they
think fit, may receive from any Member willing to advance same all or any part of the moneys uncalled and unpaid upon any Shares held by him, and upon all or any of the moneys so advanced may pay (until the same would, but for such advance, become
payable) interest at such rate, not exceeding (unless the Company in general meeting otherwise directs) 15 per cent per annum, as may be agreed upon between the Directors and the Member paying such sum in advance, but any sum paid in excess of
the amount for the time being called up shall not be included or taken into account in ascertaining the amount of the dividend payable on the Shares in respect of which such advance has been made.



|25. | Notice requiring payment
|--- | ------------------------



| | 25.1. | If a Member fails to pay any call or installment of a call on the day appointed for payment thereof, the Directors, at any time thereafter during such times as any part of the call

| | 25.2. | The notice shall name a further day (not earlier than the expiration of fourteen Clear Days from the date of service of the notice) on or before which the payment required by the
notice is to be made, and shall state that in the event of non-payment at or before the time appointed the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.
| | ----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



26



---

| | 25.3. | If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with then, at any time thereafter before the payment required by the notice has been made, any Shares in respect
of which the notice has been given may be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors to that effect. The forfeiture shall include all dividends or other moneys payable in respect of the forfeited Shares and not paid before forfeiture. The Directors
may accept a surrender of any Share liable to be forfeited hereunder.
| | ----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 25.4. | On the trial or hearing of any action for the recovery of any money due for any call it shall be sufficient to prove that the name of the Member sued is entered in the Register as
the Holder, or one of the Holders, of the Shares in respect of which such debt accrued, that the resolution making the call is duly recorded in the minute book and that notice of such call was duly given to the Member sued, in accordance with these
Articles, and it shall not be necessary to prove the appointment of the Directors who made such call nor any other matters whatsoever, but the proof of the matters aforesaid shall be conclusive evidence of the debt.
| | ----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|26. | Power of disposal
|--- | -----------------

A forfeited Share may be sold or
otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit and at any time before a sale or disposal the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit. Where for the purposes of its disposal such a Share
is to be transferred to any person, the Directors may take such steps as the Directors consider are necessary or desirable in order to effect such sale and, for this purpose, may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the
Share to that person. The Company may receive the consideration, if any, given for the Share on any sale or disposal thereof and may execute a transfer of the Share in favour of the person to whom the Share is sold or disposed of and thereupon he
shall be registered as the Holder of the Share and shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase moneys, nor shall his title to the Share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture,
sale or disposal of the Share and after the name of the transferee has been entered in the Register the remedy of any person aggrieved by the sale shall be in damages only and against the Company exclusively.



|27. | Effect of forfeiture
|--- | --------------------

A person whose Shares have
been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of the forfeited Shares, but nevertheless shall remain liable to pay to the Company all moneys which, at the date of forfeiture, were payable by him to the Company in respect of the Shares, but
his liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all such moneys in respect of the Shares. The Directors may, at their absolute discretion, enforce payment without any allowance for the value of the Shares at
the time of forfeiture or surrender or for any consideration received on their disposal or waive payment in whole or in part.



27



---

|28. | Statutory declaration
|--- | ---------------------

A statutory declaration that
the declarant is a Director or the Secretary of the Company, and that a Share in the Company has been duly forfeited on the date stated in the declaration, shall be conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated as against all persons claiming to
be entitled to the Share.



|29. | Non-payment of sums due on Share issues
|--- | ---------------------------------------

The
provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the nominal value of the Share or by way of premium, as
if the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

|32. | Rights of stockholders
|--- | ----------------------

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



| | 44.2. | Subject to the provisions of the Acts, the new Shares shall be issued to such persons, upon such terms and conditions and with such rights and privileges annexed thereto as the
general meeting resolving upon the creation thereof shall direct and, if no direction be given, as the Directors shall determine and in particular such Shares may be issued with a preferential or qualified right to dividends and in the distribution
of the assets of the Company and with a special, or without any, right of voting.
| | ----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 44.3. | Except so far as otherwise provided by the conditions of issue or by these Articles, any capital raised by the creation of new Shares shall be considered part of the pre-existing

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



| | 45.2. | subject to the provisions of the Acts, subdivide its Shares, or any of them, into Shares of smaller amount, so however that in the sub-division the proportion between the amount
paid and the amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced Share shall be the same as it was in the case of the Share from which the reduced Share is derived (and so that the resolution whereby any Share is sub-divided may determine that, as between the
Holders of the Shares resulting from such sub-division, one or more of the Shares may have, as compared with the others, any such preferred, deferred or other rights or be subject to any such restrictions as the Company has power to attach to
unissued or new Shares); or

|46. | Fractions on consolidation
|--- | --------------------------



| | Subject to the provisions of these Articles, whenever as a result of a consolidation of Shares any Members would become entitled to fractions of a Share, the Directors may sell, on
behalf of those Members, the Shares representing the fraction for the best price reasonably obtainable to any person (including, subject to this provisions the Acts, the Company) and distribute the proceeds of sale in due proportion among those
Members, (save that the Directors may in any such case determine that amounts of US$5 or less shall not be distributed but shall be retained for the benefit of the Company) and the Directors may take such steps as the Directors consider are
necessary or desirable in order to effect such sale and, for this purpose, may authorise any person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Shares to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. The transferee shall not be bound to
see to the application of the purchase money nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity in or invalidity of the proceedings in reference to the sale. So far as the Acts allow, the Directors may treat shares of a member in
certificated form and in uncertificated form as separate holdings in giving effect to sub-divisions and/or consolidations and may cause any shares arising on consolidation or sub-division and representing fractional entitlements to be entered in the
Register as shares in certificated form where this is desirable to facilitate the sale thereof.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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



|48. | Purchase of own Shares
|--- | ----------------------



| | Subject to the provisions of the Acts and to any rights conferred on the Holders of any class of Shares, the Company (or any subsidiary) may purchase all or any of its Shares of any
class (including any redeemable Shares). Every contract for the purchase of, or under which the Company may become entitled or obliged to purchase, Shares in the Company shall be authorised by a special resolution of the Company. Neither the Company
nor the Directors shall be required to select the Shares to be purchased rateably or in any particular manner as between the Holders of Shares of the same class or as between them and the Holders of Shares of any other class or in accordance with
the rights as to dividends or capital conferred by any class of Shares. Subject as aforesaid, the Company may cancel any Shares so purchased or may hold them as Treasury Shares and issue any such Treasury Shares as Shares of any class or classes or
cancel them. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Articles, the rights attached to any class of Shares shall be deemed not to be varied by anything done by the Company pursuant to this Article.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

they shall in their absolute discretion consider to be appropriate, and may from time to time vary any such arrangements or make new arrangements in place therefor and the entitlement of any Member or proxy to attend a general meeting at such place
shall be subject to any such arrangements as may be for the time being in force and by the notice of meeting stated to apply to that meeting. In the case of any general meeting to which such arrangements apply the Directors shall, and in the case of

notice to such effect on the Holder or Holders thereof. Upon the expiry of a period of 14 days following the service of any such notice (in these Articles referred to as a Restriction Notice) and for so long as such Restriction Notice
shall remain in force, no Holder or Holders of the Share or Shares specified in such Restriction Notice (the Relevant Shares) shall be entitled to attend or vote at any general meeting, or at any separate general meeting of the class of
Shares concerned either personally or by proxy in respect of such Relevant Shares; and the Directors shall, where the Restricted Shares represent not less than 0.25 per cent of the total number of issued Shares of the same class of Shares as

67.8(b) shall automatically be deemed to be cancelled upon receipt by the Directors of evidence satisfactory to them that the Relevant Shares have been sold on a transfer to a bona fide third party unconnected with the Holder;
| |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 67.3. | A Restriction Notice shall automatically cease to have effect in respect of any Share transferred upon registration of the relevant transfer provided that a Restriction Notice shall
not cease to have effect in respect of any transfer where no change in the beneficial ownership of the Share shall occur and for this purpose it shall be assumed that no such change has occurred where a transfer form in respect of the Share is
presented for registration having been stamped at a reduced rate of stamp duty by virtue of the transferor or transferee claiming to be entitled to such reduced rate as a result of the transfer being one where no beneficial interest passes.
| | ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

interest) upon the cancellation of the Restriction Notice.

| | 67.6. | Any determination of the Directors and any notice or request served by them pursuant to the provisions of this Article shall be conclusive as against the Holder or Holders of any
Share and the validity of any notice or request served by the Directors in pursuance of this Article shall not be questioned by any person.
| | ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 67.7. | If, while any Restriction Notice shall remain in force in respect of any Holder or Holders of any Shares, such Holder or Holders shall be issued with any further Shares as a result
of such Holder or Holders not renouncing any allotment of Shares made to him or them pursuant to a capitalisation issue under Articles 121 to 123, the Restriction Notice shall be deemed also to apply to such Holder or Holders in respect of such
further Shares on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the said Holder or Holders immediately prior to such issue of further Shares.

|72. | Effect of proxy instruments

| | Deposit of an instrument of proxy in respect of a meeting shall not preclude a Member from attending and voting at the meeting or at any adjournment thereof. The instrument
appointing a proxy shall be valid, unless the contrary is stated therein, as well for any adjournment of the meeting as for the meeting to which it relates and shall be deemed to include the right to demand or join in demanding a poll.

specified in the invitations are issued at the expense of the Company, such invitations shall be issued to all (and not to some only) of the Members entitled to be sent a notice of the meeting and to vote thereat by proxy. The accidental omission to
issue the instruments herein referred to, or the non-receipt of any such invitation by any Member entitled to receive such invitation shall not invalidate the proceedings at any such meeting.

period and subject to such conditions as they may think fit. Any such power of attorney may contain such provisions for the protection of persons dealing with any such attorney as the Directors may think fit and may authorise any such attorney to

third annual general meeting held following the date of adoption of these Articles, other than in accordance with the provisions of this Article 87 (a Retiring Director), any Director appointed to replace any such Director or, for the
avoidance of doubt, any Director taking the place on the Board originally held by a Retiring Director (in each case a Substitute Director) shall be deemed to have been appointed a Director of the Company on the date on which the Retiring
Director was appointed a Director of the Company, solely for the purpose of determining which of the Directors are to retire by rotation in accordance with the provisions of this Article 87. If no Director is appointed to replace any such Retiring
Director or any Substitute Director then, notwithstanding that no such Director is appointed, none of the Directors of the Company on the date of adoption of these Articles shall be required to retire in accordance with the provisions of this
Article 87 at an earlier date than he could otherwise have been required to retire had such Retiring Director not retired and the number of Directors to retire at any annual general meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Article 87 shall
accordingly be reduced, if necessary. The terms of this Article 87.4 shall cease to apply following the third annual general meeting held following the date of adoption of these Articles.

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



|89. | Eligibility for appointment
|--- | ---------------------------



| | No person other than a Director retiring by rotation or a director appointed pursuant to Article 90.2 shall be appointed a Director at any general meeting unless he is recommended

number of Directors to exceed any number fixed by or in accordance with these Articles as the maximum number of Directors. A Director so appointed shall hold office only until the next following annual general meeting and shall not be taken into
account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation at the meeting. If not re-appointed at such annual general meeting, such Director shall vacate office at the conclusion thereof.

impracticable, in such manner as the Directors may determine, taking into account, if appropriate, the price at which any recent dealing in the Shares (whether on any of the Stock Exchanges or otherwise) took place.
| |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 110.3. | On or as soon as practicable after announcing that the Company is to declare or recommend any dividend, the Directors, if they intend to offer an election in respect of that
dividend, shall also announce that intention, and shall after determining the basis of allotment, if they decide to proceed with the offer, notify the Holders of Shares in writing of the right of election offered to them and specify the procedure to
be followed and place at which, and the latest time by which elections must be lodged in order to be effective. Any election by a Holder of Shares shall be binding on every successor in title to the Shares in respect of which the election is made.
| | ------ | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 110.4. | The Directors shall not proceed with any election unless the Company has sufficient unissued Shares authorised for issue and sufficient reserves or funds that may be capitalised to
give effect to it after the basis of allotment is determined.
| | ------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 110.5. | The Directors may exclude from any offer any Holders of Shares where the Directors believe that the making of the offer to them would or might involve the contravention of the laws
of any territory or that for any other reason the offer should not be made to them.
| | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 110.6. | The dividend (or that part of the dividend in respect of which a right of election has been offered) shall not be payable on Shares in respect of which an election has been made
(the elected Shares) and instead additional Shares shall be allotted to the holders of the elected Shares on the basis of allotment calculated as stated. For such purpose the Directors shall capitalise, out of any amount for the time
being standing to the credit of any reserve or fund (including the profit and loss account) whether or not the same is available for distribution as the Directors may determine, a sum equal to the aggregate nominal amount of the additional Shares to
be allotted on that basis and apply it in paying up in full the appropriate number of unissued Shares for allotment and distribution to the holders of the elected Shares on that basis and the provisions of Article 122 shall apply mutatis mutandis to
any capitalisation made pursuant to this Article.
| | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 110.7. | The additional Shares when allotted shall rank pari passu in all respects with the fully-paid Shares then in issue except that they will not be entitled to participation in the
relevant dividend.
| | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | 110.8.
| | ------



| | (a) | The Directors may do all acts and things considered necessary or expedient to give effect to any such capitalisation with full power for the Directors to make such provisions as
they think fit in the case of Shares becoming distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby, in whole or in part, the fractional entitlements are disregarded and, the benefit of fractional entitlements accrues to the Company rather than
to the Members concerned). The Directors may authorise any person to enter on behalf of all the Members interested into an agreement with the Company providing for such capitalisation and matters incidental thereto and any agreement made under such
authority shall be effective and binding on all concerned. The Directors may, in their absolute discretion, if it shall in their opinion seem expedient, suspend or terminate (whether temporarily or otherwise) such right to elect and may do such acts
and things considered necessary or expedient with regard to, or in order to effect, any such suspension or termination;
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Directors may at any time prior to payment of the relevant dividend determine, if it appears to them desirable to do so because of a change in
circumstances, that the dividend shall be payable wholly in cash and if they so determine then all elections made shall be disregarded. The relevant dividend may, at the discretion of the Directors, be payable wholly in cash if the Shares of the
Company cease to be listed or dealt in on any of the Stock Exchanges or any other recognised stock exchange at any time prior to the due date of issue of the additional Shares or, if such listing is suspended and not reinstated by the date
immediately preceding the due date of such issue.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|111. | Interim and fixed dividends
|---- | ---------------------------



| | Subject to the provisions of the Acts, the Directors may declare and pay interim dividends if it appears to them that they are justified by the profits of the Company available for
distribution. If the share capital is divided into different classes, the Directors may declare and pay interim dividends on Shares which confer deferred or non-preferred rights with regard to dividend as well as on Shares which confer preferential
rights with regard to dividend, but subject always to any restrictions for the time being in force (whether under these Articles, under the terms of issue of any Shares or under any agreement to which the Company is a party, or otherwise) relating
to the application, or the priority of application, of the Companys profits available for distribution or to the declaration or as the case may be the payment of dividends by the Company. Subject as aforesaid, the Directors may also pay at
intervals settled by them any dividend payable at a fixed rate if it appears to them that the profits available
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---

| | for distribution justify the payment. Provided the Directors act in good faith they shall not incur any liability to the Holders of Shares conferring preferred rights for any loss
they may suffer by the lawful payment of an interim dividend on any Shares having deferred or non-preferred rights.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|112. | Payment of dividends
|---- | --------------------



| | 112.1. | Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to Shares, all dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid up on the Shares on which the dividend is paid.
Subject as aforesaid, all dividends shall be apportioned and paid proportionately to the amounts paid or credited as paid on the Shares during any portion or portions of the period in respect of which the dividend is paid; but, if any Share is
issued on terms providing that it shall rank for dividend as from a particular date, such Share shall rank for dividend accordingly. For the purposes of this Article, no amount paid on a Share in advance of calls shall be treated as paid on a Share.
| | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 112.2. | If several persons are registered as joint Holders of any Share, any one of them may give effectual receipts for any dividend or other moneys payable on or in respect of the Share.
| | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|113. | Deductions from dividends
|---- | -------------------------



| | The Directors may deduct from any dividend or other moneys payable to any Member in respect of a Share any moneys presently payable by him to the Company in respect of that Share.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|114. | Dividends in specie
|---- | -------------------



| | A general meeting declaring a dividend may direct, upon the recommendation of the Directors, that it shall be satisfied wholly or partly by the distribution of assets (and, in
particular, of paid up Shares, debentures or debenture stock of any other company or in any one or more of such ways) and the Directors shall give effect to such resolution. Where any difficulty arises in regard to the distribution, the Directors
may settle the same as they think expedient and in particular may issue fractional certificates and fix the value for distribution of such specific assets or any part thereof in order to adjust the rights of all the parties and may determine that
cash payments shall be made to any Members upon the footing of the value so fixed and may vest any such specific assets in trustees.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



64



---

|115. | Payment of dividends by post
|---- | ----------------------------



| | Any dividend or other moneys payable in respect of any Share may be paid by cheque or warrant sent by post, at the risk of the person or persons entitled thereto, to the registered
address of the Holder or, where there are joint Holders, to the registered address of that one of the joint Holders who is first named on the Register or to such person and to such address as the Holder or joint Holders may in writing direct. Every
such cheque or warrant shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent and payment of the cheque or warrant shall be a good discharge to the Company. Any joint Holder or other person jointly entitled to a Share as aforesaid may
give receipts for any dividend or other moneys payable in respect of the Share. The Directors may also, in circumstances which they consider appropriate, arrange for payment of dividends by electronic funds transfer, bank transfer or by any other
method selected by the Directors from time to time and in such event the debiting of the Companys account in respect of the appropriate amount shall be deemed a good discharge of the Companys obligations in respect of any payment made by
any such method.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|116. | Dividends not to bear interest
|---- | ------------------------------



| | No dividend or other moneys payable by the Company on or in respect of any Shares shall bear interest against the Company unless otherwise provided by the rights attached to the
Shares.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|117. | Payment to Holders on a particular date
|---- | ---------------------------------------



| | Any resolution declaring a dividend on Shares of any class, whether a resolution of the Company in general meeting or a resolution of the Directors, may specify that the same may be
payable to the persons registered as the Holders of such Shares at the close of business on a particular date, notwithstanding that it may be a date prior to that on which the resolution is passed, and thereupon the dividend shall be payable to them
in accordance with their respective holdings so registered, but without prejudice to the rights inter se of transferors and transferees of any such Shares in respect of such dividend. The provisions of this Article shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to
capitalisations to be effected in pursuance of these Articles.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|118. | Unclaimed dividends
|---- | -------------------



| | If the Directors so resolve, any dividend which has remained unclaimed for twelve years from the date of its declaration shall be forfeited and cease to remain owing by the Company.
The payment by the Directors of any unclaimed dividend or other moneys payable in respect of a Share into a separate account shall not constitute the Company a trustee in respect thereof. Any dividend, interest or other sum payable which remains
unclaimed for one year after having been declared may be invested or otherwise made use of by the Directors for the benefit of the Company until claimed.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



65



---

|119. | Reserves
|---- | --------



| | Before recommending any dividend, whether preferential or otherwise, the Directors may carry to reserve out of the profits of the Company such sums as they think proper. All sums
standing to reserve may be applied from time to time at the discretion of the Directors for any purpose to which the profits of the Company may be properly applied and at the like discretion may be either employed in the business of the Company or
invested in such investments as the Directors may lawfully determine. The Directors may divide the reserve into such special funds as they think fit and may consolidate into one fund any special funds or any parts of any special funds into which the
reserve may have been divided as they may lawfully determine. Any sum which the Directors may carry to reserve out of the unrealised profits of the Company shall not be mixed with any reserve to which profits available for distribution have been
carried. The Directors may also carry forward, without placing the same to reserve, any profits which they may think it prudent not to divide.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part XXI - Accounts



|120. | Accounts
|---- | --------



| | 120.1. | The Directors shall cause to be kept proper books of account, whether in the form of documents or otherwise, that:
| | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 120.1.1. | correctly record and explain the transactions of the Company,
| | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------



| | 120.1.2. | will at any time enable the financial position of the Company to be determined with reasonable accuracy,

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



| | 120.2. | The books of account of the Company shall be kept on a continuous and consistent basis, that is to say, the entries therein shall be made in a timely manner and be consistent from
one year to the next.
| | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



66



---

| | 120.3. | Proper books shall not be deemed to be kept if there are not kept such books of account as comply with the Acts and as are necessary to give a true and fair view of the state of the
Companys affairs and to explain its transactions.
| | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 120.4. | The books of account shall be kept at the Office or, subject to the provisions of the Acts, at such other place as the Directors think fit and shall be open at all reasonable times
to the inspection of the Directors. Subject as aforesaid no member of the Company or other person shall have any right of inspecting any account or book or document of the Company except as may be conferred by law or ordered by a Court of competent
jurisdiction or authorised by the Directors.

and loss accounts, balance sheets, group accounts and reports as are required by the Acts to be prepared and laid before such meeting.
| | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 120.6. | A copy of every balance sheet (including every document required by law to be annexed thereto) which is to be laid before the annual general meeting of the Company together with a
copy of the Directors report and Auditors report shall be sent, not less than twenty-one Clear Days before the date of the annual general meeting, to every person entitled under the provisions of the Acts to receive them; and the
required number of copies of these documents shall be forwarded at the same time to the appropriate sections of The Stock Exchanges.
| | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 120.7. | Auditors shall be appointed and removed and their duties regulated in accordance with the Acts.
| | ------ | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part XXII - Capitalisation of Profits or Reserves



|121. | Capitalisation of profits and reserves
|---- | --------------------------------------



| | Without prejudice to any powers conferred on the Directors by these Articles, the Company in general meeting may resolve, upon the recommendation of the Directors, that any sum for
the time being standing to the credit of any of the Companys reserves (including any capital redemption reserve fund or Share premium account) or to the credit of the profit and loss account be capitalised and applied on behalf of the Members
who would have been entitled to receive that sum if it had been distributed by way of dividend and in the same proportions either in or towards paying up amounts for the time being unpaid on any Shares held by them respectively, or in paying up in
full unissued Shares or debentures of the Company of a nominal amount equal to the sum capitalised (such Shares or debentures to be allotted and distributed
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



67



---

| | credited as fully paid up to and amongst such Holders in the proportions aforesaid) or partly in one way and partly in another, so, however, that the only purposes for which such
sums standing to the credit of the capital redemption reserve fund or the share premium account shall be applied shall be those permitted by the Acts.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|122. | Capitalisation and use of non-distributable profits and reserves
|---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| | Without prejudice to any powers conferred on the Directors as aforesaid, the Company in general meeting may resolve, on the recommendation of the Directors, that it is desirable to
capitalise any part of the amount for the time being standing to the credit of any of the Companys reserve accounts or to the credit of the profit and loss account which is not available for distribution by applying such sum in paying up in
full unissued Shares to be allotted as fully paid bonus Shares to those Members of the Company who would have been entitled to that sum if it were distributable and had been distributed by way of dividend (and in the same proportions) and the
Directors shall give effect to such resolution.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|123. | Implementation of capitalisation issues
|---- | ---------------------------------------



| | Whenever such a resolution is passed in pursuance of either of the two immediately preceding Articles, the Directors shall make all appropriations and applications of the undivided
profits resolved to be capitalised thereby and all allotments and issues of fully paid Shares or debentures, if any, and generally shall do all acts and things required to give effect thereto with full power to the Directors to make such provisions
as they shall think fit for the case of Shares or debentures becoming distributable in fractions (and, in particular, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, either to disregard such fractions or to sell the Shares or debentures
represented by such fractions and distribute the net proceeds of such sale to and for the benefit of the Company or to and for the benefit of the Members otherwise entitled to such fractions in due proportions) and to authorise any person to enter
on behalf of all the Members concerned into an agreement with the Company providing for the allotment to them respectively, credited as fully paid up, of any further Shares or debentures to which they may become entitled on such capitalisation or,
as the case may require, for the payment up by the application thereto of their respective proportions of the profits resolved to be capitalised of the amounts remaining unpaid on their existing Shares and any agreement made under such authority
shall be binding on all such Members.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

time the same was handed to the Member or his authorised agent, or left at his registered address (as the case may be).
| | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 125.3. | Where a notice or document is given, served or delivered pursuant to Article 125.1(c), the giving, service or delivery thereof shall be deemed to have been effected at the

by such suspension or curtailment of postal services and if at least ninety-six hours prior to the time appointed for the holding of the meeting the posting of notices to Members in the State, or any part thereof which was previously affected, has
become practical in the opinion of the Directors, the Directors shall send forthwith confirmatory copies of the notice by post to such Members. The accidental omission to give any such confirmatory copy of a notice of a meeting to, or the
non-receipt of any such confirmatory copy by, any person entitled to receive the same shall not invalidate the proceedings at the meeting.

having been received and in the case of a notice served by electronic mail, the same shall be deemed to have been effected when a sufficient acknowledgement or receipt shall have been received by the Company.

|128. | Service on transfer or transmission of Shares
|---- | ---------------------------------------------



| | 128.1. | Every person who becomes entitled to a Share shall before his name is entered in the Register in respect of the Share, be bound by any notice in respect of that Share which has been
duly given to a person from whom he derives his title provided that the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any notice served under Article 67 unless, under the provisions of Article 67.3, it is a notice which continues to have effect

Part XXIV - Winding up



|131. | Distribution on winding up
|---- | --------------------------

If the Company shall be
wound up and the assets available for distribution among the Members as such shall be insufficient to repay the whole of the paid up or credited as paid up share capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses
shall be borne by the Members in proportion to the capital paid up or credited as paid up at the commencement of the winding up on the Shares held by them respectively. And if in a winding up the assets available for distribution among the Members
shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the share capital paid up or credited as paid up at the commencement of the winding up, the excess shall be



71



---

distributed among the Members in proportion to the capital at the commencement of the winding up paid up
or credited as paid up on the said Shares held by them respectively. Provided that this Article shall not affect the rights of the Holders of Shares issued upon special terms and conditions.



|132. | Distribution in specie
|---- | ----------------------

If the Company is wound up,
the liquidator, with the sanction of a special resolution of the Company and any other sanction required by the Acts, may divide among the Members in specie or kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether they shall consist of
property of the same kind or not) and, for such purpose, may value any assets and determine how the division shall be carried out as between the Members or different classes of Members. The liquidator, with the like sanction, may vest the whole or
any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as, with the like sanction, he determines, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any assets upon which there is a liability.

Part XXV - Miscellaneous

Directors.
| | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

were held, or by the Chairman of the next succeeding meeting, shall be receivable as prima facie evidence of the matters stated in such minute without any further proof.



|134. | Inspection

The Directors shall determine from
time to time whether and to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and



72

Company with its customers and the state of accounts with individuals, and in matters relating thereto and shall by such declaration pledge himself not to reveal any of the matters which may come to his knowledge in the discharge of his duties,

might be relevant;
| | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

circumstances which would not attach to the Company in the absence of this Article; and
| | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|137. | Untraced Shareholders
|---- | ---------------------

The Company may sell any
Shares in the Company on behalf of a Holder, or person entitled by transmission to, the Shares, if:-



| | 137.1. | the Shares have been in issue throughout the qualifying period and at least three cash dividends have become payable on the Shares during the qualifying period;
| | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 137.2. | no cash dividend payable on the Shares has either been claimed by presentation to the paying bank of the relative cheque or warrant or been satisfied by the crediting of any account
which the Holder has with the Company, whether in the sole name of such Holder or jointly with another person or persons, or by the transfer of funds to a bank account designated by the Holder of, or person entitled by transmission to, the Shares at
any time during the relevant period;
| | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 137.3. | the Company has not at any time during the relevant period received, so far as the Company at the end of the relevant period is then aware, any communication from the Holder of, or
person entitled by transmission to, the Shares;

| | 137.4. | the Company has caused advertisements giving notice of its intention to sell the Shares to be published in a leading daily newspaper with a national circulation in the State and
another in a newspaper circulating in the area of the address shown in the register of the Holder of, or person entitled by transmission to, the untraced Shares, and (in either such case) a period of three months has elapsed from the date of
publication of the advertisement; and
| | ------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the purposes of this Article:

the qualifying periodmeans the period of twelve years immediately preceding the date of publication of the relevant advertisements
referred to in Article 137.4;

the relevant period means the period beginning at the commencement of the qualifying
period and ending on the date when all the requirements of Article 137.1 to 137.5 have been satisfied.

For the purposes of Article 137.3
above, a statutory declaration that the declarant is a Director of the Company or the secretary and that the Company was not aware at the end of the relevant period of having at any time during the relevant period received any communication from the
Holder of, or person entitled by transmission to, the Shares shall be conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the Shares.

If, after the publication of the advertisement referred to in Article 137.4 but before the Company has become entitled to sell the Shares pursuant to this
Article, the requirements of Article 137.2 or 137.3 cease to be satisfied, the Company may nevertheless sell those Shares after the requirements of Article 137.1 to 137.5 have been satisfied afresh in relation to them.

If during any relevant period further Shares have been issued in right of those held at the beginning of that relevant period or of any previously so
issued during that relevant period and all the requirements of Article 137.2 to 137.5 have been satisfied in regard to the further Shares, the Company may also sell the further Shares.

The manner, timing and terms of any sale of Shares pursuant to this Article (including but not limited to the price or prices at which the same is made)
shall be such as the Directors determine, based upon advice from such bankers, brokers or other persons as the Directors consider appropriate which are consulted by it for the purposes, to be reasonably practicable having regard to all the
circumstances including the number of Shares to be disposed of and the requirement that the disposal be made without delay; and the Directors shall not be liable to any person for any of the consequences of reliance on such advice.

To give effect to any sale of Shares pursuant to this Article the Directors may take such steps as the Directors consider are necessary or desirable in
order to effect such sale and, for this purpose, may authorise some person to transfer the Shares in question and may enter the name of the transferee in respect of the transferred Shares in the register notwithstanding the absence of any Share
certificate being lodged in respect thereof and may issue a new certificate to the transferee and an instrument of transfer executed by that person or such other method of transfer as is employed by this person shall be as effective as if it had
been executed or employed by the Holder of, or person entitled by transmission to, the Shares. The purchaser shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase moneys nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or
invalidity in the proceedings relating to the sale.



75



---

The Company shall account to the Holder or other person entitled to such Shares for the net proceeds of
such sale by carrying all moneys in respect thereof to a separate account which shall be a permanent debt of the Company and the Company shall be deemed to be a debtor and not a trustee in respect thereof for such Holder or other person. Moneys
carried to such separate account may be either employed in the business of the Company or invested in such investments as the Directors may think fit, from time to time.



|138. | Indemnity
|---- | ---------

Subject to the provisions of and so far
as may be permitted by the Acts, every Director, Managing Director, Auditor, Secretary or other officer of the Company shall be entitled to be indemnified by the Company against all costs, charges, losses, expenses, and liabilities incurred by him
in the execution and discharge of his duties or in relation thereto including any liability incurred by him in defending any proceedings, civil or criminal, which relate to anything done or omitted or alleged to have been done or omitted by him as
an officer or employee of the Company and in which judgment is given in his favour (or the proceedings are otherwise disposed of without any finding or admission of any material breach of duty on his part) or in which he is acquitted or in
connection with any application under any statute for relief from liability in respect of any such act or omission in which relief is granted to him by the Court.

To the extent permitted by law, the Directors may arrange insurance cover at the cost of the Company in respect of any liability, loss or expenditure incurred by any Director, officer or the Auditors in relation to
anything done or alleged to have been done or omitted to be done by him or them as Director, officer or Auditors.
