**PROPOSAL NO. 1**

**TO APPROVE THE TRANSACTION**

**Summary of the Proposed Transaction**

Success Winner Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("SWL" or the "Seller") owns 100% of the issued shares in Stand Best Creation Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong ("Stand Best" or the "Target"), and Stand Best owns 100% of the issued shares in Jinjiang Hengda Ceramics Co., Ltd. ("Jinjiang Hengda" or "WFOE"). WFOE owns 100% of the equity interests of Jiangxi Hengdali Ceramic Materials Co., Ltd. ("Jiangxi Hengdali").

Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in a securities purchase agreement entered into by and among the SWL, New Stonehenge Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (the "Purchaser") and the Target, which attached hereto as Appendix B (the "SPA"), SWL will sell 100% equity interest of the Target to the Purchaser in exchange for an unsecured promissory note with a principal amount of US$8.5 million, which will be mature in four years after its issuance (the "Consideration").

In connection with the proposed Transaction, SWL engaged Access Partner Consultancy & Appraisals ("Access Partner") to render a written fairness opinion (the "Transaction Fairness Opinion") to its board of directors to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion, the Consideration SWL would receive for the sale of the Target is fair to the shareholder of SWL, therefore, is fair to the public shareholders of the Company, from a financial point of view.

**Reasons for the Transaction**

The ceramic tiles business of the Company has experienced material adverse impacts and incurred loss due to the COVID-19. The ceramic tiles business is conducted through the Company's two subsidiaries: Jinjiang Hengda and Jiangxi Hengdali. For the year ended December 31, 2020, revenue decreased by 44.1% as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 mainly due to the 35.4% decrease in sales volume resulting from a contraction in business from our customers which was primarily caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. For the year ended December 31, 2021, ceramic tile revenue decreased by 20.9% as compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 mainly due to the 14.0% decrease in sales volume and 7.3% decrease in average sales price resulting from a contraction in business from our customers which was primarily caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. As reported in the annual report for the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company's total annual production capacity was 22.8 million square meters of ceramic tiles, which was solely attributable to the manufacturing facilities operated by Jinjiang Hengda. Following the wave of COVID-19 outbreak in China in early 2022, Jinjiang Hengda were required by the local authorities to cease its operations in March 2022, which were gradually resumed beginning on April 20, 2022.

In addition, over the last three fiscal years, challenging market conditions in the real estate market in China have become relatively more challenging due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which results in a contraction in investment and new housing projects by property developers. The Company's ceramic tiles business has experienced reduced demand for its products due to this challenging market conditions. As the ceramics tile manufacturing facilities are operating at a capacity significantly less than its maximum capacity, which reduced the business' profitability.

Furthermore, the Company has begun to execute on a corporate diversification strategy by incorporating new subsidiaries, which are mainly engaged in trending technology businesses in China. These include business management and consulting including human resource restructuring and optimization, information system technology consulting services including the sales of software use rights for digital data deposit platforms and asset management systems, and an online social media platform including live streaming and e-commence platform development and consulting. Two of our new subsidiaries, Chengdu Future Talented Management and Consulting Co., Ltd. and Antelope Holdings (Chengdu) Co., Ltd., made a modest contribution to our financial performance for the year ended December 31, 2020. Hainan Kylin Cloud Services Technology Co., Ltd., a 51% owned subsidiary of the Company, Antelope Holdings (Chengdu) Co., Ltd. and Chengdu Future Talented Management and Consulting Co., Ltd. jointly made a significant contribution to our financial performance for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Therefore, the Board of Directors of the Company have determined that it is not in the best interests of the Company to proceed with ceramic tiles business of the Company.

**Effect on the Company if the Transaction is Not Completed**

**Interests of Directors and Executive Officers in the Proposed Transaction**

The Company's directors and executive officers do not presently have any interest in the proposal that is not shared by the shareholders of the Company.

**The Securities Purchase Agreement**

The following is a summary of the material terms and conditions of the SPA, which is attached as Annex B to this proxy statement and is incorporated by reference herein. This summary does not purport to be complete and may not contain all of the information about the disposition agreement that is important to you. You are encouraged to read the SPA in its entirety because it is the legal document that governs the matters discussed in the summary below.

*The Disposition*

At the closing and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of the disposition agreement, SWL will sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser will purchase, acquire and accept from SWL, all of the equity ownership and all relevant rights and interests of Stand Best (which we refer to as the equity interests), free and clear of all liens. In exchange for the equity interests, the Purchaser agreed to issue to SWL an unsecured promissory note with a principal amount of US$8.5 million, which will be mature in four years after its issuance.

*Representations and Warranties*

The SPA contains certain customary representations and warranties made by the Purchaser, the Seller, and the Target. These representations and warranties include, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Purchaser and Seller have all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver the SPA;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Due organization and good standing of the Target, the WFOE, and Jiangxi Hengdali; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The execution, delivery and performance of the SPA will not require the consent of any governmental authority.

*Closing Conditions*

The obligation of each of the Purchaser, the Seller, and the Target to complete the Transaction is subject to the fulfillment (or waiver, to the extent permissible under applicable law) of certain customary closing conditions, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) The transfer of the equity interest of the Target to the Purchaser.

*Amendment and Termination*

The SPA may only be amended, supplemented or modified pursuant to a written agreement signed by the Purchaser and the Seller.

*Governing Law*

The execution, validity, interpretation, performance, implementation and dispute resolution of the SPA is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New York.

**Vote Required and Board Recommendation**

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is required for approval of this proposal. The Board recommends a vote "FOR" the approval of this proposal.

**PROPOSAL NO. 2**

**TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT OF THE AUTHORIZED SHARE CAPITAL**

**Proposed Amendment of Share Capital**

The Board of the Company approved, and directed that there be submitted to the shareholders of the Company for approval, as a special resolution an alteration to the share capital of the Company by:

a. the conversion of each issued paid up ordinary shares with a par value of $0.024 each into stock (the
 "Stock");

b. the alteration of the authorized issued share capital of the Company from US$4,800,000 divided into 200,000,000
ordinary shares with a par value of US$0.024 each, to (i) 250,000,000 ordinary shares re-designated as (a) 200,000,000 Class A ordinary
shares with no par value each, and (b) 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with no par value each, and (ii) 50,000,000 preferred shares
with no par value each, in each case having the rights and subject to the restrictions set out in the Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum
and Articles of Association of the Company to be adopted pursuant to proposal 3 below; and

c. the reconversion of the Stock into:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. 977,755 Class B ordinary shares to be issued as fully paid in the name of Mr. Weilai Zhang, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company;
 and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii. one Class A ordinary share to be issued as fully paid in the name of each member, excluding the members
issued Class B ordinary shares pursuant to the foregoing paragraph a., for each ordinary share which was registered in the name of a member
(excluding the members issued Class B ordinary shares pursuant to the foregoing paragraph a.) prior to the application of this resolution,

(collectively, the "Amendment to the Authorized Share Capital").

Following the Amendment to the Authorized Share Capital, each Class A ordinary share would be entitled to one (1) vote and each Class B ordinary share would be entitled to twenty (20) votes on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of the Company and with such other rights, preferences and privileges as set forth in the Amended M&A.

In addition, all Class B ordinary shares will be converted into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis as soon upon occurrence of certain events, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such Class B ordinary shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any sale, transfer, assignment or disposition of the legal or beneficial title to a Class B ordinary share
by the holder thereof or an affiliate of such holder or the transfer or assignment of the voting rights attached to any Class B ordinary
share to be cast under the direction of any person or entity that is not an affiliate of such holder; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the Class B shareholders in aggregate beneficially own less than 48,887 Class B ordinary shares, which
is equivalent to 5% of the total issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares as of the expected date of effectiveness of the Amended
M&A.

A copy of the proposed Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company is attached in Annex C to this Proxy Statement and is incorporated by reference into this Proxy Statement.

**Potential Adverse Effects of Amendment**

Prior to the proposed change, Mr. Weilai Zhang, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, beneficially owns a total of 977,755 ordinary shares, representing 9.74% of total voting power. Immediately after the proposed Amendment to the Authorized Share Capital is effective, Mr. Weilai Zhang will beneficially hold about 68.34% of the total voting power.

The proposed change will not affect in any way the validity or transferability of stock certificates outstanding, the capital structure of the Company or the trading of the Company's ordinary shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market. If the amendment is passed by our shareholders, it will not be necessary for shareholders to surrender their existing stock certificates. Instead, when certificates are presented for transfer, new certificates representing Class A ordinary share or Class B ordinary share, as the case may be, will be issued.

Future issuances of Class B ordinary shares or securities convertible into Class B ordinary shares could have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share, book value per share and the voting power and interest of current holders of ordinary shares which will be converted into the Class A ordinary shares on a 1:1 basis. In addition, the availability of additional shares of Class A ordinary shares for issuance could, under certain circumstances, discourage or make more difficult any efforts to obtain control of the Company. The Board is not aware of any attempt, or contemplated attempt, to acquire control of the Company, nor is this proposal being presented with the intent that it be used to prevent or discourage any acquisition attempt. However, nothing would prevent the Board from taking any such actions that it deems to be consistent with its fiduciary duties.

**Effectiveness of Amendment**

If the proposed amendment is adopted, it will become effective upon the approval of the shareholders in the Special Meeting.

**Vote Required and Board Recommendation**

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is required for approval of this proposal. The Board recommends a vote "FOR" the approval of this proposal.

**PROPOSAL NO. 3**

**TO APPROVE THE AMENDED M&A**

The Board deemed advisable and is recommending that our shareholders approve and adopt the Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company attached hereto as Annex C (the "Amended M&A").

**Procedure for Implementing the Amended M&A**

The Amended M&A would become effective upon approval of our shareholders (the "Effective Time").

**Purpose of the Proposed Amended M&A**

The Amended M&A set out the rights attaching to the new Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares of the Company, which are the subject of Proposal 2.

**Vote Required and Board Recommendation**

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is required for approval of this proposal. The Board recommends a vote "FOR" the approval of this proposal.

**PROPOSAL NO. 4**

**AUTHORIZATION TO ADJOURN THE SPECIAL MEETING**

If the Special Meeting is convened and a quorum is present, but there are not sufficient votes to approve Proposals 1, 2, or 3, one or more of our proxy holders may move to adjourn the Special Meeting at that time in order to enable our Board to solicit additional proxies.

In this proposal, we are asking our shareholders to authorize one or more of our proxy holders to adjourn the Special Meeting to another time and place, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies in the event that there are not sufficient votes to approve Proposals 1, 2, or 3. If our shareholders approve this proposal, one or more of our proxy holders can adjourn the Special Meeting and any adjourned session of the Special Meeting to allow for additional time to solicit additional proxies, including the solicitation of proxies from our stockholders that have previously voted. Among other things, approval of this proposal could mean that, even if we had received proxies representing a sufficient number of votes to defeat Proposals 1, 2, or 3, we could adjourn the Special Meeting without a vote on such proposals and seek to convince our shareholders to change their votes in favor of such proposals.

If it is necessary to adjourn the Special Meeting, no notice of the adjourned meeting is required to be given to our shareholders, other than an announcement at the Special Meeting of the time and place to which the Special Meeting is adjourned, so long as the meeting is adjourned for 30 days or less and no new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting. At the adjourned meeting, we may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

**Vote Required and Board Recommendation**

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is required for approval of this proposal. The Board recommends a vote "FOR" the approval of this proposal.

**OTHER MATTERS**

**GENERAL**

Management does not know of any matters other than those stated in this Proxy Statement that are to be presented for action at the meeting. If any other matters should properly come before the meeting, it is intended that proxies in the accompanying form will be voted on any such other matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons voting such proxies. Discretionary authority to vote on such matters is conferred by such proxies upon the persons voting them.

The Company will bear the cost of preparing, printing, assembling and mailing the proxy card, Proxy Statement and other material which may be sent to shareholders in connection with this solicitation. It is contemplated that brokerage houses will forward the proxy materials to beneficial owners at our request. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by use of the mails, officers and regular employees of the Company may solicit proxies without additional compensation, by telephone or telegraph. We may reimburse brokers or other persons holding Shares in their names or the names of their nominees for the expenses of forwarding soliciting material to their principals and obtaining their proxies.

**COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS**

Shareholders wishing to communicate with the Board or any individual director may write to the Board or the individual director to the Board, Antelope Enterprise Holdings Ltd., c/o Jinjiang Hengda Ceramics Co., Ltd., Junbing Industrial Zone, Anhai, Jinjiang City, Fujian Province, PRC. Any such communication must state the number of Shares beneficially owned by the shareholder making the communication. All such communications will be forwarded to the full Board or to any individual director or directors to whom the communication is directed unless the communication is clearly of a marketing nature or is unduly hostile, threatening, illegal, or similarly inappropriate, in which case the Company has the authority to discard the communication or take appropriate legal action regarding the communication.

All representations and warranties of the Purchaser and the Seller contained in this Agreement (including all schedules and exhibits hereto and all certificates, documents, instruments and undertakings furnished pursuant to this Agreement) shall survive the Closing through and until the second (2<sup>nd</sup>) anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.1 (Authorization; Binding Agreement), shall survive indefinitely. Additionally, Fraud Claims against the Purchaser or Shareholder shall survive indefinitely. If written notice of a claim for breach of any representation or warranty has been given before the applicable date when such representation or warranty no longer survives in accordance with this Section 8.1, then the relevant representations and warranties shall survive as to such claim, until the claim has been finally resolved. All covenants, obligations and agreements of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement (including all schedules and exhibits hereto and all certificates, documents, instruments and undertakings furnished pursuant to this Agreement), including any indemnification obligations, shall survive the Closing and continue until fully performed in accordance with their terms. For the avoidance of doubt, a claim for indemnification under any subsection of Section 8.2 other than clauses (i) or (ii) thereof may be made at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.1 存续。买方在本协议中的所有陈述和保证（包括所有附表和附件以及根据本协议提供的所有证书、文件、文书和承诺）应在结束时继续有效，直到结束日期的第二（2）周年；但是，第4.1节（授权；有约束力的协议）中的陈述和保证应无限期地存在。此外，针对买方或股东的欺诈性索赔应无限期地存在。如果违反任何陈述或保证的索赔的书面通知是在该陈述或保证根据本第8.1节不再存续的适用日期之前发出的，那么相关的陈述和保证对该索赔应继续有效，直到该索赔得到最终解决。本协议中包含的买方的所有契约、义务和协议（包括本协议的所有附表和附件以及根据本协议提供的所有证书、文件、文书和承诺），包括任何赔偿义务，在成交后继续有效，直到按照其条款完全履行。为了避免疑问，根据第8.2条的任何分节（除其第(i)或(ii)款外）提出的赔偿要求可在任何时间提出。

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.2 <u>Indemnification by the Purchasers</u>. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VIII, from and after the Closing, the Purchaser and their respective successors and assigns (with respect to any claim made under this Section 8.2, the "***Indemnifying Parties***") will jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, successors and permitted assigns (with respect to any claim made under this Section 8.2, the "***Indemnified Parties***") from and against any and all losses, Actions, Orders, Liabilities, damages (including consequential damages), diminution in value, Taxes, interest, penalties, Liens, amounts paid in settlement, costs and expenses (including reasonable expenses of investigation and court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), (any of the foregoing, a "***Loss***") paid, suffered or incurred by, or imposed upon, any Indemnified Party to the extent arising in whole or in part out of or resulting directly or indirectly from (whether or not involving a Third Party Claim): (i) the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser or Shareholder set forth in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by the Purchaser or Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of Purchaser or Shareholder set forth in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by Purchaser or Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) any Action by Person(s) who were holders of equity securities of the Sellers, including options, warrants, convertible debt or other convertible securities or other rights to acquire equity securities of the Seller, prior to the Closing arising out of the sale, purchase, termination, cancellation, expiration, redemption or conversion of any such securities; or (iv) any Fraud Claims.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.2 买方的赔偿。在不违反本第八条的条款和条件的前提下，自交割日起以及交割之后，买方及其继承人与受让人（根据本第8.2条提出的任何索赔，统称"赔偿方"）应就赔偿、维护并保障卖方及其关联方和各自的管理人员、董事、经理、雇员、继承人、许可的受让人（根据本第8.2条提出的任何索赔，统称"受偿方"）免受损害承担连带责任，使受偿方免受任何及所有损失、诉讼、命令、责任、损害（包括间接损害）、价值缩减、税收、利息、罚款、留置权、和解支付的金额、成本和费用（包括合理的调查费用、法庭费用以及合理的律师费与开支）（前述任何一项均为"损失"），且前述任何受偿方支付、遭受的、承担的、或强加于受偿方的损失是直接或间接地、全部或部分地源于以下原因：(i) 违反买方或股东在本协议或买方或股东根据本协议交付的任何证书中所作的任何陈述或保证；(ii) 买方或股东违反本协议或买方或股东根据本协议交付的任何证书中规定的任何契约或协议；(iii) 在交易结束前，因出售、购买、终止、取消、到期、赎回或转换任何此类证券而引起的卖方股权证券（包括期权、认股权证、可转换债务或其他可转换证券或其他获得卖方股权证券的权利）持有人的任何行动；或 (iv) 任何欺诈性索赔。

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.3 <u>Limitations and General Indemnification Provisions</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.3 限制和一般赔偿条款。

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Solely for purposes of determining the amount of Losses under this <u>Article VIII</u> (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not for purposes of determining whether there has been a breach giving rise to the indemnification claim), all of the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement (including the disclosure schedules hereto) or any Ancillary Document that are qualified by materiality or words of similar import or effect will be deemed to have been made without any such qualification.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) 仅为了确定本第八条规定的损失金额（为避免疑问，不是为了确定是否存在引起赔偿要求的违约行为），本协议（包括本协议的披露附表）或任何附属文件中规定的所有陈述、保证和契约，如果受到实质性或类似含义或效果的词语的限制，将被视为没有任何此类限制。

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) No investigation or knowledge by an Indemnified Party its Representatives of a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of an Indemnifying Party shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Indemnifying Party or the recourse available to the Indemnified Parties under any provision of this Agreement, including this <u>Article VIII</u>, with respect thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) 赔偿方及其代表对违反赔偿方的陈述、保证、契约或协议的调查或了解，不影响赔偿方的陈述、保证、契约和协议，也不影响赔偿方根据本协议的任何条款（包括本第八条）对其进行追索。

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The amount of any Losses suffered or incurred by any Indemnified Party shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds paid to the Indemnified Party or any Affiliate thereof as a reimbursement with respect to such Losses (and no right of subrogation shall accrue to any insurer hereunder, except to the extent that such waiver of subrogation would prejudice any applicable insurance coverage), net of the costs of collection and the increases in insurance premiums resulting from such Loss or insurance payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) 任何获赔方遭受或发生的任何损失的金额，应减去支付给获赔方或其任何关联公司作为对该等损失的补偿的任何保险金的金额(而且根据本协议，任何保险公司不应享有代位权，除非这种放弃代位权的做法会损害任何适用的保险范围)，并减去收款成本和因该等损失或保险付款而增加的保险费。

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.4 <u>Indemnification Procedures</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.4 赔偿程序

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In order to make a claim for indemnification hereunder, the Seller must provide written notice (a "***Claim Notice***") of such claim to the Indemnifying Parties, which Claim Notice shall include (i) a reasonable description of the facts and circumstances which relate to the subject matter of such indemnification claim to the extent then known and (ii) the amount of Losses suffered by the Indemnified Party in connection with the claim to the extent known or reasonably estimable (provided, that the Sellers may thereafter in good faith adjust the amount of Losses with respect to the claim by providing a revised Claim Notice to Indemnifying Parties).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) 为了提出本协议项下的赔偿要求，卖方必须向赔偿方提供有关此类要求的书面通知（"索赔通知"）。该索赔通知应包括：(i)对与该赔偿要求标的有关的事实和情况的合理描述，以当时已知的为限；(ii)被赔偿方因该索赔而遭受的损失金额，以已知或可合理估计的为限（但卖方此后可通过向赔偿方提供修订的索赔通知，善意地调整与该索赔有关的损失金额）

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In the case of any claim for indemnification under this <u>Article VIII</u> arising from a claim of a third party (including any Governmental Authority) (a "***Third Party Claim***"), the Sellers must give a Claim Notice with respect to such Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Parties promptly (but in no event later than thirty (30) days) after the Indemnified Party's receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim; <u>provided</u>, that the failure to give such notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations except to the extent that the defense of such Third Party Claim is materially and irrevocably prejudiced by the failure to give such notice. The Indemnifying Parties will have the right to defend and to direct the defense against any such Third Party Claim, at its expense and with counsel selected by Indemnifying Parties, unless (i) the Indemnifying Parties fails to acknowledge fully to the Seller the obligations of the Indemnifying Parties to such Indemnified Party within twenty (20) days after receiving notice of such Third Party Claim or contests, in whole or in part, its indemnification obligations therefor or (ii) at any time while such Third Party Claim is pending, (A) there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Parties and the Sellers in the conduct of such defense, (B) the applicable third party alleges a Fraud Claim or (C) such claim is criminal in nature, could reasonably be expected to lead to criminal proceedings, or seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Parties. If the Indemnifying Parties elects, and is entitled, to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, it will within twenty (20) days (or sooner, if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires) notify the Sellers of its intent to do so, and Indemnifying Parties and the Indemnified Party will, at the request and expense of Indemnifying Parties, cooperate in the defense of such Third Party Claim. If Indemnifying Parties elects not to, or at any time is not entitled under this <u>Section 8.4</u> to, compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to notify the Seller of its election as herein provided or refuses to acknowledge or contests its obligation to indemnify under this Agreement, the Seller may pay, compromise or defend such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Indemnifying Parties will have no indemnification obligations with respect to any such Third Party Claim which is settled by the Indemnified Party or the Seller without the prior written consent of Indemnifying Parties (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party will not be required to refrain from paying any Third Party Claim which has matured by a final, non-appealable Order, nor will it be required to refrain from paying any Third Party Claim where the delay in paying such claim would result in the foreclosure of a Lien upon any of the property or assets then held by the Indemnified Party or where any delay in payment would cause the Indemnified Party material economic loss. The Indemnifying Parties' right to direct the defense will include the right to compromise or enter into an agreement settling any Third Party Claim; <u>provided</u>, that no such compromise or settlement will obligate the Indemnified Party to agree to any settlement that requires the taking or restriction of any action (including the payment of money and competition restrictions) by the Indemnified Party other than the execution of a release for such Third Party Claim and/or agreeing to be subject to customary confidentiality obligations in connection therewith, except with the prior written consent of the Seller (such consent to be withheld, conditioned or delayed only for a good faith reason). Notwithstanding the Indemnifying Parties' right to compromise or settle in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, Indemnifying Parties may not settle or compromise any Third Party Claim over the objection of the Sellers; provided, however, that consent by the Seller to settlement or compromise will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Seller will have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Parties' right to direct the defense.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) 如果因第三方(包括任何政府机构)的索赔("第三方索赔")而引起本第八条规定的任何赔偿要求，卖方必须在被赔偿方收到该第三方索赔的通知后迅速(但无论如何不得迟于三十(30)天)向赔偿方发出索赔通知。但是，未发出该通知并不解除赔偿方的赔偿义务，除非该第三方索赔的辩护因未发出该通知而受到实质性和不可逆转的损害。赔偿方将有权对任何此类第三方索赔进行辩护和指导辩护，费用由赔偿方选定的律师承担，除非(i)赔偿方在收到此类第三方索赔的通知后二十(20)天内未能向卖方充分确认赔偿方对该被赔偿方的义务，或全部或部分地质疑。或(ii)在该第三方索赔待决的任何时候，(A)赔偿方和卖方在进行该辩护时存在利益冲突，(B)适用的第三方声称是欺诈性索赔，或(C)该索赔是刑事性质的，可以合理地预期会导致刑事诉讼，或寻求对赔偿方的禁令或其他公平救济。如果赔偿方选择并有权对此类第三方索赔进行妥协或辩护，它将在二十（20）天内（如果第三方索赔的性质需要，则更早）将其意图通知卖方，并且赔偿方和被赔偿方将在赔偿方的要求和费用下，合作为此类第三方索赔辩护。如果赔偿方选择不进行或在任何时候都无权根据本第8.4节的规定对该第三方索赔进行妥协或辩护，或未按本协议规定通知卖方其选择或拒绝承认或质疑其在本协议下的赔偿义务，卖方可对该第三方索赔进行支付、妥协或辩护。尽管本协议有任何相反的规定，但如果没有赔偿方的事先书面同意（这种同意不会被不合理地扣留、延迟或附加条件），赔偿方对被赔偿方或卖方解决的任何此类第三方索赔没有赔偿义务。然而，尽管有上述规定，但不要求赔偿方不支付任何根据最终的、不可上诉的命令已经到期的第三方索赔，也不要求赔偿方不支付任何第三方索赔，如果延迟支付该索赔会导致取消对赔偿方当时持有的任何财产或资产的留置权，或者任何延迟支付会给赔偿方造成重大经济损失。赔偿方指导辩护的权利将包括对任何第三方索赔进行妥协或达成和解协议的权利。但这种妥协或和解不会使被赔偿方有义务同意任何要求被赔偿方采取或限制任何行动（包括支付金钱和竞争限制）的和解，除非事先得到卖方的书面同意（这种同意只有在有诚意的情况下才会被扣留、附加条件或推迟），否则被赔偿方将为该第三方索赔签署一份免责声明，并同意接受与此相关的惯常保密义务。尽管赔偿方有权根据前一句话进行妥协或和解，但赔偿方不得在卖方反对的情况下对任何第三方索赔进行和解或妥协；但是，卖方对和解或妥协的同意不会被不合理地拒绝、拖延或附加条件。卖方将有权参与任何第三方索赔的辩护，并由其选择律师，但赔偿方有权指导辩护。

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) With respect to any direct indemnification claim that is not a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Parties will have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of the Claim Notice to respond thereto. If Indemnifying Parties does not respond within such thirty (30) days, Indemnifying Parties on behalf of Indemnifying Parties will be deemed to have accepted responsibility for the Losses set forth in such Claim Notice subject to the limitations on indemnification set forth in this <u>Article VIII</u> and will have no further right to contest the validity of such Claim Notice. If Indemnifying Parties responds within such thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Claim Notice and rejects such claim in whole or in part, the Seller will be free to pursue such remedies as may be available under this Agreement, any Ancillary Documents or applicable Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) 对于不属于第三方索赔的任何直接赔偿要求，赔偿方在收到索赔通知后有三十(30)天的时间进行答复。如果赔偿方没有在这三十(30)天内作出回应，代表赔偿方的赔偿方将被视为已接受该索赔通知中所列损失的责任，但须遵守本第八条规定的赔偿限制，且无权对该索赔通知的有效性提出进一步质疑。如果赔偿方在收到索赔通知后的三十(30)天内作出回应，并全部或部分拒绝该索赔，卖方将可以自由地寻求本协议、任何附属文件或适用法律可能提供的补救措施。

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.5 <u>Exclusive Remedy</u>. From and after the Closing, except with respect to Fraud Claims related to the negotiation or execution of this Agreement or claims seeking injunctions or specific strict performance, indemnification pursuant to this <u>Article VIII</u> shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for the Parties with respect to matters arising under this Agreement of any kind or nature, including for any misrepresentation or breach of any warranty, covenant, or other provision contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, including the negotiation and discussion thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.5 独家补救措施。从结束后，除了与本协议的谈判或执行有关的欺诈性索赔或寻求禁令或具体严格执行的索赔外，根据本第八条的赔偿应是双方对本协议下产生的任何种类或性质的事项的唯一和排他性补救措施，包括对本协议或根据本协议交付的任何证书或文书中所载的任何保证、契约或其他规定的误述或违反，或与本协议的主题有关的其他事项，包括谈判和讨论。

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.3 第三方。本协议或任何一方所执行的与本协议所设想的交易有关的任何文书或文件中的任何内容，都不应在非本协议或本协议的缔约方或该缔约方的继承人或允许的转让人的任何个人身上创造任何权利，或被视为为其利益而执行

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.4 <u>Arbitration</u>. Any and all disputes, controversies and claims (other than applications for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, permanent injunction or other equitable relief or application for enforcement of a resolution under this <u>Section 9.4</u>) arising out of, related to, or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (a "***Dispute***") shall be governed by this <u>Section 9.4</u>. A party must, in the first instance, provide written notice of any Disputes to the other parties subject to such Dispute, which notice must provide a reasonably detailed description of the matters subject to the Dispute. The parties involved in such Dispute shall seek to resolve the Dispute on an amicable basis within ten (10) Business Days of the notice of such Dispute being received by such other parties subject to such Dispute; the "***Resolution Period***"); <u>provided</u>, that if any Dispute would reasonably be expected to have become moot or otherwise irrelevant if not decided within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Dispute, then there shall be no Resolution Period with respect to such Dispute. Any Dispute that is not resolved during the Resolution Period may immediately be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration pursuant to the then-existing Expedited Procedures of the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the "***AAA Procedures***") of the American Arbitration Association (the "***AAA***"). Any party involved in such Dispute may submit the Dispute to the AAA to commence the proceedings after the Resolution Period.

The arbitrator's award shall be in writing and shall include a reasonable explanation of the arbitrator's reason(s) for selecting one or the other proposal. The seat of arbitration shall be in New York County, State of New York. The language of the arbitration shall be English.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.4 仲裁。因本协议或本协议所设想的交易而产生的、与之相关的或与之有关的任何及所有争议、纠纷和索赔（不包括申请临时禁止令、初步禁止令、永久禁止令或其他公平救济或申请执行本第9.4节规定的决议）（"争议"）应受本第9.4节管辖。一方必须在第一时间将任何争议书面通知给受该争议影响的其他各方，该通知必须对受争议影响的事项进行合理的详细描述。该争议所涉各方应在该争议所涉其他各方收到该争议通知后的十（10）个工作日内寻求友好解决该争议；"解决期"）；但如果任何争议在该争议发生后六十（60）天内不作决定，则合理地预期该争议将变得无意义或不相关，则该争议将没有解决期。任何在解决期内未得到解决的争议，可立即根据当时存在的美国仲裁协会（"AAA"）商业仲裁规则的快速程序（"AAA程序"）提交并最终通过仲裁解决。该争议所涉及的任何一方可以将争议提交给美国仲裁协会，以便在解决期限之后开始程序。如果AAA程序和本协议有冲突，应以本协议的条款为准。仲裁应在争议提交给AAA后迅速（但在任何情况下在五（5）个工作日内）由AAA提名的一名仲裁员进行，并为争议的每一方合理地接受，该仲裁员应是一名商业律师，在收购协议的争议方面具有丰富的仲裁经验。仲裁员应接受其任命，并在其被提名和被争议各方接受后迅速开始仲裁程序（但无论如何应在五（5）个营业日内）。仲裁程序应精简、高效。仲裁员应根据纽约州的实体法裁决争议。时间是关键。各方应在确认仲裁员任命后二十（20）天内向仲裁员提交解决争议的建议。仲裁员有权命令任何一方做或不做符合本协议、附属文件和适用法律的任何事情，包括履行其合同义务；但仲裁员应仅限于根据上述权力命令（为避免疑问，应命令）相关方（或各方，如适用）只遵守其中一个或另一个建议。仲裁员的裁决应是书面的，并应包括对仲裁员选择一种或另一种建议的理由的合理解释。仲裁地点应在纽约州的纽约县。仲裁的语言为英语。

Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and Holder shall have all rights as a holder of the Note until such time, if any, as Holder receives full payment. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Trigger Event or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Nothing herein shall limit Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Unconditional Obligation; No Offset</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Waiver</u>. No waiver of any provision of this Note shall be effective unless it is in the form of a writing signed by the party granting the waiver. No waiver of any provision or consent to any prohibited action shall constitute a waiver of any other provision or consent to any other prohibited action, whether or not similar.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. <u>Amendments</u>. The prior written consent of both parties hereto shall be required for any change or amendment to this Note.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. <u>Liquidated Damages</u>. Holder and Borrower agree that in the event Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms or provisions of this Note, Holder's damages would be uncertain and difficult (if not impossible) to accurately estimate because of the parties' inability to predict future interest rates, future share prices, future trading volumes and other relevant factors. Accordingly, Holder and Borrower agree that any fees, balance adjustments, Default Interest or other charges assessed under this Note are not penalties but instead are intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, liquidated damages.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. <u>Severability</u>. If any part of this Note is construed to be in violation of any law, such part shall be modified to achieve the objective of Borrower and Holder to the fullest extent permitted by law and the balance of this Note shall remain in full force and effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Before any holder of Class B Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to voluntarily convert the same into Class A Ordinary Shares in accordance with Article 7.4(a) above, such holder shall lodge, at the Company's registered office, a written notice of the election to convert the same (together with any certificate, if any, representing the Class B Ordinary Shares to which it relates) and such written notice shall state therein the number of Class B Ordinary Shares the holder wishes to convert into Class A Ordinary Shares, the name or names that shall be entered on the Register and, if certificates are to be issued, the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for Class A Ordinary Shares are to be issued.

Certificates representing the Class A Ordinary Shares issued on conversion, and any remaining Class B Ordinary Shares of such member may be issued in accordance with the terms of these Articles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.7 Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion.

The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Class A Ordinary Shares, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Class B Ordinary Shares, such number of its Class A Ordinary Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Class A Ordinary Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of such Class B Ordinary Shares, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Class A Ordinary Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite shareholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Memorandum and Articles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.8 Class A Ordinary Shares are not convertible into Class B Ordinary Shares under any circumstances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.9 Save and except for voting rights and conversion rights as set out in this Article 8, the Class A Ordinary Shares and the Class B Ordinary Shares shall rank pari passu and shall have the same rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.10 The Company may by Resolution of Directors redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire all or any of the Shares in the Company subject to Regulation 3 of the Articles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.** **VARIATION OF RIGHTS** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.1 Subject to the Act and without prejudice to Article 7, all or any of the special rights for the time being attached to the shares or any class of shares may, unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, from time to time (whether or not the Company is being wound up) be varied, modified or abrogated with the sanction of a Resolution of Shareholders passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of that class. To every such separate general meeting all the provisions of these Articles relating to general meetings of the Company shall, mutatis mutandis, apply, but so that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the necessary quorum (whether at a separate general meeting or at its adjourned meeting) shall be a person or persons (or in the case of a Member being a corporation, its duly authorized representative) together holding or representing by proxy not less than 50% in nominal value of the issued shares of that class;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) every holder of shares of the class shall be entitled on a poll to one vote (or, in the case of a Class B Ordinary Share, twenty (20) votes for every Class B Share of which he is the holder) for every such share held by him; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) any holder of shares of the class present in person or by proxy or authorised representative may demand a poll.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.** **RIGHTS NOT VARIED BY THE ISSUE OF SHARES PARI PASSU** 

The rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any class shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking *pari passu* therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.** **REGISTERED SHARES** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.1 The Company shall issue registered Shares only.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.2 The Company is not authorised to issue bearer Shares, convert registered Shares to bearer Shares or exchange registered Shares for bearer Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.** **TRANSFER OF SHARES** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.1 Subject to Sub-Regulations 6.3 and 6.4 of the Articles, the Company shall, on receipt of an instrument of transfer complying with Sub-Regulation 6.1 of the Articles, enter the name of the transferee of a Share in the register of members unless the directors resolve to refuse or delay the registration of the transfer for reasons that shall be specified in a Resolution of Directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.2 The directors may not resolve to refuse or delay the transfer of a Share unless the Shareholder has failed to pay an amount due in respect of the Share.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.** **AMENDMENT OF THE MEMORANDUM AND THE ARTICLES** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.1 Subject to Clause 8, the Company may amend the Memorandum or the Articles by Resolution of Shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.2 Any amendment of the Memorandum or the Articles will take effect on the registration by the Registrar of a notice of amendment, or restated Memorandum and Articles, filed by the registered agent.

**AMENDED & RESTATED**

**OF**

**Antelope Enterprise Holdings Limited**

A COMPANY LIMITED BY SHARES

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.** **REGISTERED SHARES** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.1 Every Shareholder is entitled to a certificate signed by a director or officer of the Company, or any other Eligible Person authorised by Resolution of Directors, or under the Seal specifying the number of Shares held by him and the signature of the director, officer or authorised Eligible Person and the Seal may be facsimiles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.** **SHARES** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1 Shares and other Securities may be issued at such times, to such Eligible Persons, for such consideration and on such terms as the directors may by Resolution of Directors determine.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2 Section 46 of the Act (*Pre-emptive rights*) does not apply to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3 A Share may be issued for consideration in any form or a combination of forms, including money, a promissory note, or other written obligation to contribute money or property, real property, personal property (including goodwill and know-how), services rendered or a contract for future services.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4 The consideration for a Share with par value shall not be less than the par value of the Share. If a Share with par value is issued for consideration less than the par value, the Eligible Person to whom the Share is issued is liable to pay to the Company an amount equal to the difference between the issue price and the par value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5 Before issuing Shares for a consideration, which is, in whole or in part, other than money a Resolution of Directors shall be passed stating:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the amount to be credited for the issue of the Shares; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) that, in the opinion of the directors, the present cash value of the non-money consideration or money consideration, if any, is not less than the amount to be credited for the issue of the Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.6 The consideration paid for any Share, whether a par value Share or a no par value Share shall not be treated as a liability or debt of the Company for the purposes of

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the solvency test in Regulations 3 and 18; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) sections 197 and 209 of the Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.7 The Company shall keep a register (the "register of members") containing:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the names and addresses of the Eligible Persons who hold Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the number of each class and series of Shares held by each Shareholder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the date on which the name of each Shareholder was entered in the register of members; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the date on which any Eligible Person ceased to be a Shareholder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.8 The register of members may be in any such form as the directors may approve, but if it is in magnetic, electronic or other data storage form, the Company must be able to produce legible evidence of its contents. Until the directors otherwise determine, the magnetic, electronic or other data storage form shall be the original register of members.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.9 A Share is deemed to be issued when the name of the Shareholder is entered in the register of members.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.10 Nothing in these Articles shall require title to any Shares or other securities of the Company to be evidenced by a certificate if the Act and the rules of the Stock Exchange permit otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.11 Subject to the Act and the rules of the Stock Exchange, the Board without further consultation with the holders of any Shares or securities of the Company may resolve that any class or series of Shares or other securities of the Company from time to time in issue or to be issued (including shares Shares in issue at the date of the adoption of these Articles) may be issued, held, registered, converted to, transferred or otherwise dealt with in uncertificated form in accordance with the regulations and practices instituted by the operator of the Direct Registration System and no provision of these Articles will apply to any uncertificated Share or other securities of the Company to the extent that they are inconsistent with the holding of such Shares or other securities in uncertificated form or the transfer of title to any such Shares or other securities by means of a Direct Registration System or any provision of such Direct Registration System's regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.12 Conversion of Shares held in certificated form into shares held in uncertificated form, and vice versa, may be made in such manner as the Board of Directors may, in its absolute discretion, think fit (subject always to the regulations and the requirements of the Direct Registration System concerned). The Company shall enter on the register of members how many Shares are held by each Shareholder in uncertificated form and in certificated form and shall maintain the register of members in each case as is required by the regulations of the Direct Registration System concerned. Notwithstanding any provision of these Articles, a class or series of Shares shall not be treated as two classes by virtue only of that class or series comprising both certificated Shares and uncertificated Shares or as a result of any provision of these Articles or the Regulations which apply only in respect of certificated or uncertificated Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.13 Any Shareholder receiving a share certificate for certificated Shares shall indemnify and hold the Company and its directors and officers harmless from any loss or liability which it or they may incur by reason of any wrongful or fraudulent use or representation made by any Eligible Person by virtue of the possession thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.14 Subject to the provisions of Sub-Regulation 6.2, if a share certificate for certificated Shares is defaced, worn out, lost or destroyed it may be replaced without fee but on such terms (if any) as to evidence and indemnity and to payment of any exceptional out-of-pocket expenses of the Company in investigating such evidence and preparing such indemnity as the Board of Directors may think fit and, in case of defacement or wearing out, on delivery up of the old certificate to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.15 All forms of certificates for Shares or loan capital or other securities of the Company (other than letters of allotment, scrip certificates and other like documents) shall be issued under the Seal or in such other manner as the Board of Directors may authorise. The Board of Directors may by Resolution of Directors determine, either generally or in any particular case or cases, that any signatures on any such certificate need not be autographic but may be affixed to such certificate by some mechanical or electronic means or may be printed thereon or that such certificate need not be signed by any Eligible Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.16 If several Eligible Persons are registered as joint holders of any Shares, any one of such Eligible Persons may give an effectual receipt for any dividend or other Distribution payable in respect of such Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.** **REDEMPTION OF SHARES AND TREASURY SHARES** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1 The Company may purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire and hold its own Shares save that the Company may not, except pursuant to Sub-Regulation 3.7, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire its own Shares without the consent of Shareholders whose Shares are to be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired unless the Company is permitted by the Act or any other provision in the Memorandum or Articles to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire the Shares without their consent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2 The Company may acquire its own fully paid Shares for no consideration by way of surrender of the Shares to the Company by the person holding the Shares. Any such surrender shall be in writing and signed by the person holding the Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3 The Company may only offer to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire Shares if the Resolution of Directors authorising the purchase, redemption or other acquisition contains a statement that the directors are satisfied, on reasonable grounds, that immediately after the purchase, redemption or other acquisition the value of the Company's assets will exceed its liabilities and the Company will be able to pay its debts as they fall due.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4 Sections 60 (*Process for acquisition of own shares*), 61 (*Offer to one or more shareholders*) and 62 (*Shares redeemed otherwise than at the option of company*) of the Act shall not apply to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.5 Shares that the Company purchases, redeems or otherwise acquires pursuant to this Regulation may be cancelled or held as Treasury Shares except to the extent that such Shares are in excess of 50% of the issued Shares in which case they shall be cancelled but they shall be available for reissue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.6 All rights and obligations attaching to a Treasury Share are suspended and shall not be exercised by the Company while it holds the Share as a Treasury Share.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.7 Treasury Shares may be transferred by the Company on such terms and conditions (not otherwise inconsistent with the Memorandum and the Articles) as the Company may by Resolution of Directors determine.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.8 Where:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Company undertakes any division of the issued Shares pursuant to section 40A of the Act, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) pursuant such division a Shareholder holds a total number of Shares which includes a fractional Share, the Company may compulsorily redeem such fractional Share so that (subsequent to such redemption) the Shareholder holds a whole number of Shares. Where the Company compulsorily redeems a fractional Share under this Regulation, the price at which such fractional Share is redeemed shall be calculated on the basis of the fair market value per Share (rounded up to the nearest tenth).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.** **MORTGAGES AND CHARGES OF SHARES** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1 Shareholders may mortgage or charge their Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2 There shall be entered in the register of members at the written request of the Shareholder:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) a statement that the Shares held by him are mortgaged or charged;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the name of the mortgagee or chargee; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the date on which the particulars specified in subparagraphs (a) and (b) are entered in the register of members.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.3 Where particulars of a mortgage or charge are entered in the register of members, such particulars may be cancelled:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) with the written consent of the named mortgagee or chargee or anyone authorised to act on his behalf; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) upon evidence satisfactory to the directors of the discharge of the liability secured by the mortgage or charge and the issue of such indemnities as the directors shall consider necessary or desirable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.4 Whilst particulars of a mortgage or charge over Shares are entered in the register of members pursuant to this Regulation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) no transfer of any Share the subject of those particulars shall be effected;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Company may not purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any such Share; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) no replacement certificate shall be issued in respect of such Shares,

without the written consent of the named mortgagee or chargee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.** **FORFEITURE** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.1 Shares that are not fully paid on issue are subject to the forfeiture provisions set forth in this Regulation and for this purpose Shares issued for a promissory note, other written obligation to contribute money or property or a contract for future services are deemed to be not fully paid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2 A written notice of call specifying the date for payment to be made shall be served on the Shareholder who defaults in making payment in respect of the Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.3 The written notice of call referred to in Sub-Regulation 5.2 shall name a further date not earlier than the expiration of 14 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 contain a statement that in the event of non-payment at or before the time named in the notice the Shares, or any of them, in respect of which payment is not made will be liable to be forfeited.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.4 Where a written notice of call has been issued pursuant to Sub-Regulation 5.3 and the requirements of the notice have not been complied with, the directors may, at any time before tender of payment, forfeit and cancel the Shares to which the notice relates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.5 The Company is under no obligation to refund any moneys to the Shareholder whose Shares have been cancelled pursuant to Sub-Regulation 5.4 and that Shareholder shall be discharged from any further obligation to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.** **TRANSFER OF SHARES** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.1 Shares of the Company shall be transferable in the manner prescribed by law, the Memorandum and these Articles. Transfers of Shares shall be made on the books of the Company only by the Person named in the certificate or by his attorney lawfully constituted in writing and upon the surrender of the certificate therefor, which shall be cancelled before a new certificate shall be issued. Upon surrender to the Company or the transfer agent of the Company of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the Company to issue a new certificate (or uncertificated shares) to the Person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transactions upon its books, unless the Company has a duty to inquire as to adverse claims with respect to such transfer which has not been discharged. The Company shall have no duty to inquire into adverse claims with respect to such transfer unless (a) the Company has received a written notification of an adverse claim at a time and in a manner which affords the Company a reasonable opportunity to act on it prior to the issuance of a new, reissued or re-registered share certificate and the notification identifies the claimant, the registered owner and the issue of which the Share or Shares is a part and rovides an address for communications directed to the claimant; or (b) the Company has required and obtained, with respect to a fiduciary, a copy of a will, trust, indenture, articles of co-partnership, bylaws or other controlling instruments, for a purpose other than to obtain appropriate evidence of the appointment or incumbency of the fiduciary, and such documents indicate, upon reasonable inspection, the existence of an adverse claim. The Company may discharge any duty of inquiry by any reasonable means, including notifying an adverse claimant by registered or certified mail at the address furnished by him or, if there be no such address, at his residence or regular place of business that the security has been presented for registration of transfer by a named Person, and that the transfer will be registered unless within thirty days from the date of mailing the notification, either (a) an appropriate restraining order, injunction or other process issues from a court of competent jurisdiction; or (b) an indemnity bond, sufficient in the Company's judgment to protect the Company and any transfer agent, registrar or other agent of the Company involved from any loss which it or they may suffer by complying with the adverse claim, is filed with the Company.

Upon the receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered owner of uncertificated shares, such uncertificated shares shall be cancelled, issuance of new equivalent uncertificated shares or certificated shares shall be made to the Shareholder entitled thereto and the transaction shall be recorded upon the books of the Company. If the Company has a transfer agent or registrar acting on its behalf, the signature of any officer or representative thereof may be in facsimile.

The Board of Directors may appoint a transfer agent and one or more co-transfer agents and registrar and one or more co-registrars and may make or authorize such agent to make all such rules and regulations deemed expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration of shares of stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.2 The Board of Directors may direct a new certificate or uncertificated Shares be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Company alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or his legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as the Board of Directors shall require and/or to give the Company a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Company with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.3 In the case of uncertificated Shares, and subject to the Act, a Shareholder shall be entitled to transfer its Shares and other securities by means of a Direct Registration System and the operator of the Direct Registration System shall act as agent of the Shareholders for the purposes of the transfer of Shares or other securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.4 Any provision in these Articles in relation to the Shares shall not apply to any uncertified Shares to the extent that they are inconsistent with the holding of any Shares in uncertificated form, the transfer of title to any Shares by means of a Direct Registration System and any provision of such Direct Registration System's regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.5 The transfer of a Share is effective when the name of the transferee is entered on the register of members.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.** **MEETINGS AND CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.1 <u>Place of Meetings</u>. All meetings of the Shareholders shall be held at such time and place as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors, within or outside the British Virgin Islands, and stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.2 <u>Annual Meetings</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) A meeting of the Shareholders may be designated as an "annual meeting". Such annual meeting of Shareholders shall be held on such date and at such time as may be fixed by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting, for the purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of only such other business as is properly brought before the meeting in accordance with these Articles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Written notice of an annual meeting stating the place, date and hour of the meeting, shall be given to each Shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the annual meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) To be properly brought before the annual meeting, business must be either (i) specified in the notice of annual meeting (or any supplement or amendment thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (ii) otherwise brought before the annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by a Shareholder. In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a Shareholder, the Shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the secretary of the Company. To be timely, a Shareholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Company not later than the close of business on the 60th day nor earlier than the opening of business on the 90th day before the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of Shareholders; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within 30 days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the Shareholder to be timely must be so received not earlier than the opening of business on the 90th day before the meeting and not later than the later of (i) the close of business on the 60th day before the meeting or (ii) the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting of Shareholders is first made by the Company. A Shareholder's notice to the secretary shall set forth (a) as to each matter the Shareholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, and (ii) any material interest of the Shareholder in such business, and (b) as to the Shareholder giving the notice (i) the name and record address of the Shareholder and (ii) the class, series and number of Shares of the Company which are beneficially owned by the Shareholder. Notwithstanding anything in these Articles to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at the annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Sub-Regulation 7.2(c). The officer of the Company presiding at an annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the annual meeting that business was not properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Sub-Regulation 7.2(c), and if such officer should so determine, such officer shall so declare to the annual meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.3 <u>Special Meetings.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) A meeting of the Shareholders may be designated as a "special meeting". Such special meetings of the Shareholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by the Act, Memorandum or by the Articles, may only be called by a majority of the entire Board of Directors, or the Chief Executive Officer, and shall be called by the secretary at the request in writing of Shareholders owning a majority in amount of the entire capital stock of the Company issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Unless otherwise provided by law, written notice of a special meeting of Shareholders, stating the time, place and purpose or purposes thereof, shall be given to each Shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting, not less than ten (10) or more than sixty (60) days before the date fixed for the meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting of Shareholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.4 <u>Fixing Record Date</u>. In order that the Company may determine the Shareholders entitled to notice or to vote at any meeting of Shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other Distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of Shares or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the Resolution of Directors fixing the record is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date of action with a meeting is adopted by the Board of Directors, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. If no record date is fixed:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The record date for determining Shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Shareholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived in accordance with Sub-Regulation 7.5, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The record date for determining Shareholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent is delivered to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The record date for determining Shareholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

A determination of Shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Shareholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.5 A meeting of Shareholders held in contravention of the requirement to give notice is valid if Shareholders holding at least 90% of the total voting rights on all the matters to be considered at the meeting have waived notice of the meeting and, for this purpose, the presence of a Shareholder at the meeting shall constitute waiver in relation to all the Shares which that Shareholder holds.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the inadvertent failure of a director who convenes a meeting to give notice of a meeting to a Shareholder or another director, or the fact that a Shareholder or another director has not received notice, does not invalidate the meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.7 A Shareholder may be represented at a meeting of Shareholders by a proxy who may speak and vote on behalf of the Shareholder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.8 The instrument appointing a proxy shall be produced at the place designated for the meeting before the time for holding the meeting at which the Person named in such instrument proposes to vote. The notice of the meeting may specify an alternative or additional place or time at which the proxy shall be presented.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.9 The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in such form as the chairman of the meeting shall accept as properly evidencing the wishes of the Shareholder appointing the proxy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.10 The following applies where Shares are jointly owned:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) if two or more Eligible Persons hold Shares jointly each of them may be present in person or by proxy at a meeting of Shareholders and may speak as a Shareholder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) if only one of the joint owners is present in person or by proxy he may vote on behalf of all joint owners; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) if two or more of the joint owners are present in person or by proxy they must vote as one.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.11 A Shareholder shall be deemed to be present at a meeting of Shareholders if he participates by telephone or other electronic means and all Shareholders participating in the meeting are able to hear each other.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.12 A meeting of Shareholders is duly constituted if, at the commencement of the meeting, there are present in person or by proxy not less than 50% of the votes of the Shares entitled to vote on Resolutions of Shareholders to be considered at the meeting. A quorum may comprise a single Shareholder or proxy and then such Person may pass a Resolution of Shareholders and a certificate signed by such Person accompanied where such Person be a proxy by a copy of the proxy instrument shall constitute a valid Resolution of Shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.13 If a quorum is not present within two hours after the time appointed for the meeting, the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of Shareholders, shall be dissolved; in any other case it shall stand adjourned to the next business day in the jurisdiction in which the meeting was to have been held at the same time and place or to such other time and place as the directors may determine, and if at the adjourned meeting there are present within one hour from the time appointed for the meeting in person or by proxy not less than one third of the votes of the Shares or each class or series of Shares entitled to vote on the matters to be considered by the meeting, those present shall constitute a quorum but otherwise the meeting shall be dissolved.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.14 <u>Organization</u>. At every meeting of Shareholders, the Chairman of the Board shall preside as chairman of the meeting. The Board of Directors may designate any other officer or director of the Company to act as chairman of any meeting in the absence of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors may further provide for determining who shall act as chairman of any Shareholders meeting in the absence of the Chairman of the Board and such designee.

The secretary of the Company shall act as secretary of all meetings of the Shareholders, but in the absence of the secretary the presiding officer may appoint any other person to act as secretary of any meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.15 The chairman may, with the consent of the meeting, adjourn any meeting from time to time, and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.16 At any meeting of the Shareholders the chairman is responsible for deciding in such manner as he considers appropriate whether any resolution proposed has been carried or not and the result of his decision shall be announced to the meeting and recorded in the minutes of the meeting. If the chairman has any doubt as to the outcome of the vote on a proposed resolution, he shall cause a poll to be taken of all votes cast upon such resolution. If the chairman fails to take a poll then any Shareholder present in person or by proxy who disputes the announcement by the chairman of the result of any vote may immediately following such announcement demand that a poll be taken and the chairman shall cause a poll to be taken. If a poll is taken at any meeting, the result shall be announced to the meeting and recorded in the minutes of the meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.17 Subject to the specific provisions contained in this Regulation for the appointment of representatives of Eligible Persons other than individuals the right of any individual to speak for or represent a Shareholder shall be determined by the law of the jurisdiction where, and by the documents by which, the Eligible Person is constituted or derives its existence. In case of doubt, the directors may in good faith seek legal advice from any qualified person and unless and until a court of competent jurisdiction shall otherwise rule, the directors may rely and act upon such advice without incurring any liability to any Shareholder or the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.18 Any Eligible Person other than an individual which is a Shareholder may by resolution of its directors or other governing body authorise such individual as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of Shareholders or of any class of Shareholders, and the individual so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same rights on behalf of the Shareholder which he represents as that Shareholder could exercise if it were an individual.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.19 The chairman of any meeting at which a vote is cast by proxy or on behalf of any Eligible Person other than an individual may call for a notarially certified copy of such proxy or authority which shall be produced within 7 days of being so requested or the votes cast by such proxy or on behalf of such Eligible Person shall be disregarded.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.20 Directors of the Company may attend and speak at any meeting of Shareholders and at any separate meeting of the holders of any class or series of Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.21 An action that may be taken by the Shareholders at a meeting may also be taken by a resolution consented to in writing, without the need for any notice, but if any Resolution of Shareholders is adopted otherwise than by the unanimous written consent of all Shareholders, a copy of such resolution shall forthwith be sent to all Shareholders not consenting to such resolution. The consent may be in the form of counterparts, each counterpart being signed by one or more Shareholders. If the consent is in one or more counterparts, and the counterparts bear different dates, then the resolution shall take effect on the earliest date upon which Shareholders holding a sufficient number of votes of Shares to constitute a Resolution of Shareholders have consented to the resolution by signed counterparts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.** **DIRECTORS** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.1 The first directors of the Company shall be appointed by the first registered agent within 6 months of the date of incorporation of the Company; and thereafter, the directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon or subject to Sub-Regulation 8.7, by Resolution of Directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.2 No person shall be appointed as a director, or nominated as a director, of the Company unless he has consented in writing to be a director or to be nominated as a director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.3 Subject to Sub-Regulation 8.1, the minimum number of directors shall not be less than one(1) and the maximum number of directors shall not exceed nine (9). Subject to the foregoing, the number of directors which shall constitute the Board of Directors may increase to such number of members as the Board of Directors may determine from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.4 Each director holds office for the term, if any, fixed by the Resolution of Shareholders appointing him, or until his earlier death, resignation, removal from office or incapacity. If no term is fixed on the appointment of a director, the director serves indefinitely until his earlier death, resignation, removal from office or incapacity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.5 A director may be removed from office,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) with or without cause, by Resolution of Shareholders passed at a meeting of Shareholders called for the purposes of removing the director or for purposes including the removal of the director or by a written resolution passed by at least 75% of the Shareholders of the Company entitled to vote; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) with cause, by Resolution of Directors passed at a meeting of directors called for the purpose of removing the director or for purposes including the removal of the director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.6 A director may resign his office by giving written notice of his resignation to the Company and the resignation has effect from the date the notice is received by the Company or from such later date as may be specified in the notice. A director shall resign forthwith as a director if he is, or becomes, disqualified from acting as a director under the Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.7 The directors may at any time appoint any person to be a director either to fill a vacancy or as an addition to the existing directors. Where the directors appoint a person as a director to fill a vacancy, or as an additional director the term shall not exceed the term that remained when the person who has ceased to be a director ceased to hold office or until the next annual meeting of Shareholders (where such appointment shall be approved by the Shareholders) whenever is earlier.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.8 A vacancy in relation to directors occurs if a director dies or otherwise ceases to hold office prior to the expiration of his term of office.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.9 Nominations. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Company at a meeting of Shareholders of the Company may be made at such meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, by any committee or persons appointed by the Board of Directors or by any Shareholder entitled to vote for the election of directors at the meeting who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Sub-Regulation 8.9. Such nominations by any Shareholder shall be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to the secretary of the Company. To be timely, a Shareholder's notice shall be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Company (i) in the case of an annual meeting, not later than the close of business on the 60th day nor earlier than the opening of business on the 90th day before the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of Shareholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within 30 days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the Shareholder to be timely must be so received not earlier than the opening of business on the 90th day before the meeting and not later than the later of (x) the close of business on the 60th day before the meeting or (y) the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was first made by the Company; and (ii) in the case of a special meeting of Shareholders called for the purpose of electing directors, not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the special meeting is first made by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.10 Such Shareholder's notice to the secretary shall set forth (i) as to each person whom the Shareholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director, (a) the name, age, business address and residence address of the person, (b) the principal occupation or employment of the person, (c) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Company which are beneficially owned by the person, and (d) any other information relating to the person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations for proxies for election of directors pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and (ii) as to the Shareholder giving the notice (a) the name and record address of the Shareholder and (b) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Company which are beneficially owned by the Shareholder. The Company may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Company to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Company. No person shall be eligible for election as a director of the Company unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. The officer of the Company presiding at an annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedure, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.11 The Company shall keep a register of directors containing:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the names and addresses of the persons who are directors of the Company or who have been nominated as directors of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the date on which each person whose name is entered in the register was appointed as a director, or nominated as a director, of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the date on which each person named as a director ceased to be a director of the Company ;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the date on which the nomination of any person nominated as a director ceased to have effect; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) such other information as may be prescribed by the Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.12 The register of directors may be kept in any such form as the directors may approve, but if it is in magnetic, electronic or other data storage form, the Company must be able to produce legible evidence of its contents. Until a Resolution of Directors determining otherwise is passed, the magnetic, electronic or other data storage shall be the original register of directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.13 The directors may, by Resolution of Directors, fix the emoluments of directors with respect to services to be rendered in any capacity to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.14 A director is not required to hold a Share as a qualification to office.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.** **POWERS OF DIRECTORS** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.1 The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by, or under the direction or supervision of, the directors of the Company. The directors of the Company have all the powers necessary for managing, and for directing and supervising, the business and affairs of the Company. The directors may pay all expenses incurred preliminary to and in connection with the incorporation of the Company and may exercise all such powers of the Company as are not by the Act or by the Memorandum or the Articles required to be exercised by the Shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.2 Each director shall exercise his powers for a proper purpose and shall not act or agree to the Company acting in a manner that contravenes the Memorandum, the Articles or the Act. Each director, in exercising his powers or performing his duties, shall act honestly and in good faith in what the director believes to be the best interests of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.3 If the Company is the wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company, a director of the Company may, when exercising powers or performing duties as a director, act in a manner which he believes is in the best interests of the holding company even though it may not be in the best interests of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.4 The continuing directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.5 The directors may by Resolution of Directors exercise all the powers of the Company to incur indebtedness, liabilities or obligations and to secure indebtedness, liabilities or obligations whether of the Company or of any third party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.6 All cheques, promissory notes, drafts, bills of exchange and other negotiable instruments and all receipts for moneys paid to the Company shall be signed, drawn, accepted, endorsed or otherwise executed, as the case may be, in such manner as shall from time to time be determined by Resolution of Directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.7 For the purposes of Section 175 (*Disposition of assets*) of the Act, the directors may by Resolution of Directors determine that any sale, transfer, lease, exchange or other disposition is in the usual or regular course of the business carried on by the Company and such determination is, in the absence of fraud, conclusive.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.8 The directors may be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors and may be paid a fixed amount (in cash or other form of consideration) for attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors or a stated salary (in cash or other form of consideration) as director. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the Company in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. Members of special or standing committees may be allowed like compensation for attending committee meetings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.9 Members of the Board of Directors or any committee designated by the Board of Directors may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee of the Board of Directors by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting pursuant to this Sub-Regulation shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.** **PROCEEDINGS OF DIRECTORS** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.1 Any one director of the Company may call a meeting of the directors by sending a written notice to each other director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.2 The directors of the Company or any committee thereof may meet at such times and in such manner and places within or outside the British Virgin Islands as the directors may determine to be necessary or desirable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.3 A director is deemed to be present at a meeting of directors if he participates by telephone or other electronic means and all directors participating in the meeting are able to hear each other.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.4 A director shall be given not less than three (3) days notice of meetings of directors, but a meeting of directors held without three (3) days notice having been given to all directors shall be valid if all the directors entitled to vote at the meeting who do not attend waive notice of the meeting, and for this purpose the presence of a director at a meeting shall constitute waiver by that director. The inadvertent failure to give notice of a meeting to a director, or the fact that a director has not received the notice, does not invalidate the meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.5 A meeting of directors is duly constituted for all purposes if at the commencement of the meeting there are present in person not less than one-half of the total number of directors, unless there are only two (2) directors in which case the quorum is two (2).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.6 If the Company has only one director the provisions herein contained for meetings of directors do not apply and such sole director has full power to represent and act for the Company in all matters as are not by the Act, the Memorandum or the Articles required to be exercised by the Shareholders. In lieu of minutes of a meeting the sole director shall record in writing and sign a note or memorandum of all matters requiring a Resolution of Directors. Such a note or memorandum constitutes sufficient evidence of such resolution for all purposes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.7 At meetings of directors at which the Chairman of the Board is present, he shall preside as chairman of the meeting. If there is no Chairman of the Board or if the Chairman of the Board is not present, the directors present shall choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.8 An action that may be taken by the directors or a committee of directors at a meeting may also be taken by a Resolution of Directors or a resolution of a committee of directors consented to in writing by all directors or by all members of the committee, as the case may be, without the need for any notice. The consent may be in the form of counterparts each counterpart being signed by one or more directors. If the consent is in one or more counterparts, and the counterparts bear different dates, then the resolution shall take effect on the date upon which the last director has consented to the resolution by signed counterparts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.** **COMMITTEES** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.1 The directors may, by Resolution of Directors, designate one or more committees, each consisting of one or more directors, and delegate one or more of their powers, including the power to affix the Seal, to the committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.2 The directors have no power to delegate to a committee of directors any of the following powers:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) to amend the Memorandum or the Articles;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) to designate committees of directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) to delegate powers to a committee of directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) to appoint or remove directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) to appoint or remove an agent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) to approve a plan of merger, consolidation or arrangement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) to make a declaration of solvency or to approve a liquidation plan; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) to make a determination that immediately after a proposed Distribution the value of the Company's assets will exceed its liabilities and the Company will be able to pay its debts as they fall due.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.3 Sub-Regulation 11.2(b) and (c) do not prevent a committee of directors, where authorised by the Resolution of Directors appointing such committee or by a subsequent Resolution of Directors, from appointing a sub-committee and delegating powers exercisable by the committee to the sub-committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.4 The meetings and proceedings of each committee of directors consisting of two (2) or more directors shall be governed *mutatis mutandis* by the provisions of the Articles regulating the proceedings of directors so far as the same are not superseded by any provisions in the Resolution of Directors establishing the committee. Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the Board of Directors when required.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.5 Where the directors delegate their powers to a committee of directors they remain responsible for the exercise of that power by the committee, unless they believed on reasonable grounds at all times before the exercise of the power that the committee would exercise the power in conformity with the duties imposed on directors of the Company under the Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.** **OFFICERS AND AGENTS** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.1 The Company may by Resolution of Directors appoint officers of the Company at such times as may be considered necessary or expedient. Such officers may consist of a Chairman of the Board of Directors, a chief executive officer, and one or more vice-presidents, secretaries and treasurers and such other officers as may from time to time be considered necessary or expedient. Any number of offices may be held by the same person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.2 The officers shall perform such duties as are prescribed at the time of their appointment subject to any modification in such duties as may be prescribed thereafter by Resolution of Directors. In the absence of any specific prescription of duties it shall be the responsibility of the Chairman of the Board to preside at meetings of directors and Shareholders, the chief executive officer to manage the day to day affairs of the Company, the vice-presidents to act in order of seniority in the absence of the chief executive officer but otherwise to perform such duties as may be delegated to them by the chief executive officer, the secretaries to maintain the register of members, minute books and records (other than financial records) of the Company and to ensure compliance with all procedural requirements imposed on the Company by applicable law, and the treasurer to be responsible for the financial affairs of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.3 The emoluments of all officers shall be fixed by Resolution of Directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.4 The officers of the Company shall hold office until their successors are duly appointed, but any officer elected or appointed by the directors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by Resolution of Directors. Any vacancy occurring in any office of the Company may be filled by Resolution of Directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.5 An officer may resign his office by giving written notice of his resignation to the Company and the resignation has effect from the date the notice is received by the Company or from such later date as may be specified in the notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.6 The directors may, by Resolution of Directors, appoint any person, including a person who is a director or officer, to be an agent of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.7 An agent of the Company shall have such powers and authority of the directors, including the power and authority to affix the Seal, as are set forth in the Articles or in the Resolution of Directors appointing the agent, except that no agent has any power or authority with respect to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) to amend the Memorandum or the Articles;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) to change the registered office or agent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) to designate committees of directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) to delegate powers to a committee of directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) to appoint or remove directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) to appoint or remove an agent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) to fix emoluments of directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) to approve a plan of merger, consolidation or arrangement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) to make a declaration of solvency or to approve a liquidation plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) to make a determination that immediately after a proposed Distribution the value of the Company's assets will exceed its liabilities and the Company will be able to pay its debts as they fall due; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) to authorise the Company to continue as a company incorporated under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the British Virgin Islands.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.8 The Resolution of Directors appointing an agent may authorise the agent to appoint one or more substitutes or delegates to exercise some or all of the powers conferred on the agent by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.9 The directors may remove an agent appointed by the Company and may revoke or vary a power conferred on him.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.** **RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.1 The Company shall not enter into any Related Party Transaction (as defined in Sub-Regulation 13.6) unless (a) a majority of disinterested directors of the Board of Directors, or (b) the audit committee of the Company, which shall consist solely of independent directors, approves such transaction in accordance with the guidelines set forth in this Regulation 13.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.2 No member of the Board of Directors or of the audit committee, as applicable, shall participate in the review or approval of any Related Party Transaction with respect to which such member is a Related Party (as defined in Sub-Regulation 13.5). In reviewing and approving any Related Party Transaction, the audit committee or majority of disinterested directors, as applicable, shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) satisfy itself that it has been fully informed as to the material facts of the Related Party's relationship and interest and as to the material facts of the proposed Related Party Transaction, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) determine that the Related Party Transaction is fair to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.3 If management becomes aware of a proposed Related Party Transaction or an existing Related Party Transaction that has not been pre-approved by the audit committee, management shall promptly notify the chairman of the audit committee and such transactions shall be submitted to the audit committee for their review, consideration and determination of whether to approve or ratify, as applicable, such transaction if the audit committee determines it is fair to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.4 A director or executive officer of the Company shall, forthwith after becoming aware of the fact that he is a Related Party with respect to a Related Party Transaction entered into or to be entered into by the Company, disclose the interest to all other directors of the Company.

For these purposes, a "Related Party" is:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) any person who is, or at any time since the beginning of the Company's current fiscal year was, an "executive officer" of the Company (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 3b-7 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any person who is, or at any time since the beginning of the Company's current fiscal year was, a director of the Company or a nominee for director of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) a person (including an entity or group) known to the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of the Company's voting securities (a "**5% shareholder** ");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) an individual who is an "immediate family member" of a person listed in (a), (b), or (c) above;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) an entity that is, directly or indirectly, owned or controlled by a person listed in (a), (b), (c), or (d) above;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) an entity in which a person listed in (a), (b), (c), or (d) above serves as director or executive officer or principal or in a similar position, or in the case of a partnership, serves as a general partner or holds any position other than that of a limited partner; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) an entity in which a person listed in (a), (b), (c), or (d) above, together with all other persons specified in (a), (b), (c), or (d) above, owns 10% or more of the equity interest, or in the case of a partnership, 10% or more of the interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.5 For these purposes, a "Related Party Transaction" is a transaction (including any financial transaction, arrangement or relationship (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness)), or series of related transactions, or any material amendment to any such transaction, involving a Related Party and in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a participant. The Board has determined that the following do not create a material direct or indirect interest on behalf of the Related Person and are therefore not "Related Party Transactions" for purposes of this Regulation 13:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) a transaction involving compensation of directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) a transaction involving compensation of an executive officer or involving an employment agreement, severance arrangement, change in control provision or agreement or special supplemental benefit of an executive officer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) a transaction with a Related Party involving less than $120,000; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) a transaction in which the interest of the Related Party arises solely from the ownership of a class of the Company's equity securities and all holders of that class receive the same benefit on a pro rata basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.6 No contract or transaction between the Company and a Related Party, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, if (i) the material facts as to the Related Party's relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the audit committee, and the Board of Directors or audit committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum, or the audit committee; or (ii) the material facts as to his or their relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Shareholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by a Resolution of Shareholders; or (iii) the contract or transaction is fair as to the Company as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified, by the Board of Directors, the audit committee thereof or the Shareholders. A director that is a Related Party with respect to the Related Party Transaction in question may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or of the audit committee which authorizes such Related Party Transaction. Subject to compliance with the Act, no director or officer shall by reason of his office be accountable to the Company for any benefit which he derives from such transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.7 All of the Company's rights under the Deed of Undertaking, including, without limitation, the right to seek indemnification from the other parties thereto, shall be exercised solely by (a) a majority of disinterested directors of the Board of Directors, or (b) the audit committee of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.** **INDEMNIFICATION** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.1 Subject to the limitations hereinafter provided the Company shall indemnify against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings any person who:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director of the Company; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) is or was, at the request of the Company, serving as a director of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another body corporate or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.2 The indemnity in Sub-Regulation 14.1 only applies if the person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that their conduct was unlawful.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.3 For the purposes of Sub-Regulation 14.2, a director acts in the best interests of the Company if he acts in the best interests of

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Company's holding company; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) a Shareholder or Shareholders of the Company;

in either case, in the circumstances specified in Sub-Regulation 9.3 or the Act, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.4 The decision of the directors as to whether the person acted honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company and as to whether the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful is, in the absence of fraud, sufficient for the purposes of the Articles, unless a question of law is involved.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.5 The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement, conviction or the entering of a *nolle prosequi* does not, by itself, create a presumption that the person did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company or that the person had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.6 Expenses, including legal fees, incurred by a director in defending any legal, administrative or investigative proceedings may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such proceedings upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the director is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company in accordance with Sub-Regulation 14.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.7 Expenses, including legal fees, incurred by a former director in defending any legal, administrative or investigative proceedings may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such proceedings upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the former director to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the former director is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company in accordance with Sub-Regulation 14.1 and upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Company deems appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.8 The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Sub-Regulation is not exclusive of any other rights to which the person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any agreement, Resolution of Shareholders, resolution of disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to acting in the person's official capacity and as to acting in another capacity while serving as a director of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.9 If a person referred to in Sub-Regulation 14.1 has been successful in defence of any proceedings referred to in Sub-Regulation 14.1, the person is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the proceedings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.10 The Company may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any person who is or was a director, officer or liquidator of the Company, or who at the request of the Company is or was serving as a director, officer or liquidator of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another body corporate or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by the person in that capacity, whether or not the Company has or would have had the power to indemnify the person against the liability as provided in the Articles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**15.** **CORPORATE RECORDS** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.1 The Company shall keep the following documents at the office of its registered agent:
