**The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the proposal.**

**Will there be any other items of business on the agenda?**

The Board of Directors is not aware of any other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Special Meeting. Nonetheless, in case there is an unforeseen need, the accompanying proxy gives discretionary authority to the persons named on the proxy with respect to any other matters that might be brought before the Special Meeting or at any postponement or adjournment of the Special Meeting. Those persons intend to vote that proxy in accordance with their judgment.

**Who is entitled to vote at the Special Meeting?**

Only shareholders of record of our ordinary shares, as of 5:00 p.m., New York time on July 11, 2025 (the "**Record Date**") are entitled to notice and to attend and vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Each fully paid ordinary share is entitled to one vote on each matter properly brought before the Special Meeting. The enclosed proxy card or voting instruction card shows the number of ordinary shares you are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.

*Shareholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name*

If on the Record Date your shares were registered directly in your name with the Company, then you are a shareholder of record. As a shareholder of record, you may vote in person at the Special Meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, to ensure your vote is counted, we encourage you to vote either by Internet or by filling out and returning the enclosed proxy card.

*Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank*

If on the Record Date your shares were held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer, or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in "street name" and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered the shareholder of record for purposes of voting at the Special Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account. Your broker will not be able to vote your shares unless your broker receives specific voting instructions from you. We strongly encourage you to vote.

**What constitutes a quorum and how will votes be counted?**

The quorum for the Special Meeting is the holder or holders present in person or by proxy entitled to exercise at least a majority of the voting rights of the shares of each class or series of shares entitled to vote as a class or series thereon and the same proportion of the votes of the remaining shares entitled to vote thereon.

Shareholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting may do so either in person or by proxy. Those shareholders who are unable to attend the Special Meeting are requested to read, complete, sign, date, and return the attached proxy card in accordance with the instructions set out therein.

The holder of an ordinary share shall have one vote for every ordinary share of which they are the holder.

In the event that there are not sufficient votes for a quorum, the Special Meeting may be adjourned or postponed in order to permit the further solicitation of proxies.

**Votes Required**

*How many votes are required to approve the proposal?*

Assuming a quorum as referenced above is reached, the approval of the proposal requires a resolution of shareholders under the existing memorandum and articles of association of the Company, passed by the affirmative vote of a majority of in excess of 50% of the votes of the ordinary shares entitled to vote thereon which were present at the Special Meeting and were voted at the Special Meeting.

Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as a vote cast at the Special Meeting.

**How do I vote?**

Your shares may only be voted at the Special Meeting if you are entitled to vote and present in person or are represented by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, we encourage you to vote by proxy to ensure that your shares will be represented.

You may vote using any of the following methods:

● *By Internet*. You may vote by using the Internet in accordance with the instructions included in the proxy card. The Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate shareholders' identities, to allow shareholders to vote their shares and to confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded.

● *By Mail*. Shareholders of record as of the Record Date may submit proxies by completing, signing and dating their proxy cards and mailing them to the address provided on the enclosed proxy card. If you return your signed proxy but do not indicate your voting preferences, your shares will be voted on your behalf "FOR" the proposal. Shareholders who hold shares beneficially in street name may provide voting instructions by mail by completing, signing and dating the voting instruction forms provided by their brokers, banks or other nominees and mailing them to the address provided on the enclosed proxy card.

● *By Fax.* You may vote by proxy by marking the enclosed proxy card, dating and signing it, and faxing it according to the fax number provided on the enclosed proxy card.

● *In person at the Special Meeting.* Shares held in your name as the shareholder of record may be voted in person at the Special Meeting or at any postponement or adjournment of the Special Meeting. Shares held beneficially in street name may be voted in person only if you obtain a legal proxy from the broker, bank or nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares.  ***Even if you plan to attend the Special Meeting, we recommend that you also submit your proxy or voting instructions by mail or Internet so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Special Meeting*** .

**Revoking Your Proxy**

Even if you execute a proxy, you retain the right to revoke it and to change your vote by notifying us at any time but no later than two hours before the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting, at which the proxy is voted. Such revocation may be effected by following the instructions for voting on your proxy card or vote instruction form. Unless so revoked, the shares represented by proxies, if received in time, will be voted in accordance with the directions given therein. Mere attendance at the meeting will not revoke a proxy. However, if you are shareholder of record, delivery of a proxy would not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the meeting convened and in such event, the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.

If the Special Meeting is postponed or adjourned for any reason, at any subsequent reconvening of the Special Meeting, all proxies will be voted in the same manner as the proxies would have been voted at the original convening of the Special Meeting (except for any proxies that have at that time effectively been revoked or withdrawn), even if the proxies had been effectively voted on the same or any other matter at a previous Special Meeting that was postponed or adjourned.

**Proxy Solicitation Costs**

We will bear the entire cost of this solicitation of proxies, including the preparation, assembly, printing, and mailing of the proxy materials that we may provide to our shareholders. Copies of solicitation material will be provided to brokerage firms, fiduciaries and custodians holding shares in their names that are beneficially owned by others so that they may forward the solicitation material to such beneficial owners. We may solicit proxies by mail, and the officers and employees of the Company, who will receive no extra compensation therefore, may solicit proxies personally or by telephone. The Company will reimburse brokerage houses and other nominees for their expenses incurred in sending proxies and proxy materials to the beneficial owners of shares held by them.

**PROPOSAL –CREATION OF NEW CLASS OF SHARES AND ADOPTION OF AMENDED AND RESTATED MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION**

The Board of Directors approved, and directed that there be submitted to the shareholders of the Company for approval, as a resolution of shareholders, the following proposal:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the
 creation of a new class of 'blank check' Preferred Shares, such Preferred Shares
 having the rights as specified by the board of Directors upon issue of any Preferred Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the
 creation of a new class of Class A Shares with each Class A Share:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. being

 and articles, with

Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the
 following provision: *"Unless a holder of Class A Shares otherwise notifies the Company prior to any transfer that the proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee and provides satisfactory evidence thereof, as determined by the directors in their sole discretion, any Class A Shares that it purports to transfer shall automatically be converted into Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the consummation of such transfer and in accordance with the mechanics set forth in Articles 7.4 to 7.8. The directors shall have the authority to review and approve or reject the proposed transfer based on the transferee's status."*;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) the
 following provision: "*Notwithstanding any other provision of these Articles, each Class A Share shall be automatically converted into an ordinary share immediately upon the holders of Class A Shares in aggregate beneficially owning 5% of the total issued and outstanding Class A Shares as of the date of registration of these Memorandum and Articles.";* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) an
 amendment to clause 9.1 of the articles of association to change the number of votes required
 for shareholders to require a meeting of members from 10% to one-third of all votes attaching
 to total issued shares; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) an
 amendment to clause 19.10 of the articles of association to change the required votes at
 any meeting of directors to pass resolutions of directors from a majority of votes to a two-thirds

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) subject
 to approval of the foregoing resolutions, redeem 50,418 ordinary shares held by Mr. Jianghuai
 Lin as at the date of this proxy statement and reissue such ordinary shares as 50,418 Class
 A Shares to Mr. Jianghuai Lin.

**Resolutions to be Voted Upon**

At the Special Meeting the following resolutions will be considered and voted upon, it being noted that each resolution is conditional upon the others being passed so no one resolution can be passed alone:

**RESOLVED, THAT**:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. the
 amended and restated memorandum and articles of association attached hereto as **Annex A**,
 be and are hereby approved, including the creation of a new class of preferred shares and
 a new class of class A shares with each class A share being entitled to one hundred (100)
 votes on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. the
 change in the maximum number of shares that the Company is authorised to issue from 100,000,000
 ordinary shares of one class each such share having no par value to 5,060,000,000 shares
 divided into: (1) 5,000,000,000 ordinary shares with no par value each; (2) 50,000,000 class
 A shares with no par value each, and (3)10,000,000 preferred shares with no par value each,
 be and is hereby approved; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. subject
 to approval of the foregoing resolutions, the redemption of 50,418 ordinary shares held by
 Mr. Jianghuai Lin as at the date of this proxy statement and reissue of 50,418 class A shares
 to Mr. Jianghuai Lin be and is hereby approved.

**Vote Required for Approval**

Assuming a quorum as referenced above is reached, the approval of the proposal requires a resolution of shareholders under the existing memorandum and articles of association of the Company, passed by the affirmative vote of a majority of in excess of 50% of the votes of the ordinary shares entitled to vote thereon which were present at the Special Meeting and were voted at the Special Meeting.

Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as a vote cast at the Special Meeting.

The proposal to create a new class of Class A Shares will not affect in any way the validity or transferability of ordinary shares outstanding or the trading of the Company's ordinary shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market.

The amended and restated memorandum and articles of association will provide that preferred shares may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Our Board of Directors will be authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. Our Board of Directors will be able to, without shareholder approval, issue preferred shares with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of other voting shares of the Company and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of our Board of Directors to issue preferred shares without shareholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us or the removal of existing management. Although we do not currently intend to issue any preferred shares, we cannot assure you that we will not do so in the future.

The resolutions proposed, if approved and adopted, will result in a dual-class structure of our ordinary shares, which has the effect of concentrating voting power with the holders of Class A Shares, which will limit the ability of holders of ordinary shares to influence the outcome of important transactions, including a change in control.

Upon the approval and adoption of the resolutions, the maximum number of shares we are authorised to issue will be changed from 100,000,000 ordinary shares of one class each such share having no par value to 5,060,000,000 shares divided into: (1) 5,000,000,000 ordinary shares with no par value each; (2) 50,000,000 Class A Shares with no par value each, and (3)10,000,000 preferred shares with no par value each. Each ordinary share shall entitle the holder thereof to one (1) vote on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of our Company, and each class A share shall entitle the holder thereof to one hundred (100) votes on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of our Company.

Mr. Jianghuai Lin ("**Mr. Lin**"), the chairman of the Board of Directors, who currently owns 50,418 ordinary shares as of the date of this proxy statement, will beneficially own 50,418 Class A Shares, which result in Mr. Lin beneficially owning more than 50% of the aggregate voting power of our total issued and outstanding shares. As a result, we will be a "controlled company" within the meaning of the Nasdaq Listing Rules and, as a result, may rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that provide protection to shareholders of other companies. As a result of the creation of the class of Class A Shares, each of which has one hundred (100) votes on all matters subject to vote at meetings of shareholders and the concentration of ownership, holders of Class A Shares will have considerable influence over matters such as decisions regarding mergers and consolidations, election of directors, amendments to the memorandum and articles of association that are subject to a shareholder vote and other significant corporate actions and may vote in a way with which you disagree and which may be adverse to your interests. In addition, the concentrated voting power of holders of Class A Shares may have the ultimate effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change of control of our Company which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our Company and might ultimately materially and adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares. The Board of Directors 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 of Directors from taking any such actions that it deems to be consistent with its fiduciary duties.

Future transfers by the holder of Class A Shares may result in those shares converting into ordinary shares. Unless a holder of Class A Shares notifies the Company prior to any transfer that the proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee and provides satisfactory evidence thereof, as determined by the directors in their sole discretion, such Class A Shares will be automatically converted into an equal number of ordinary shares immediately prior to the consummation of such transfer. As defined in the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, a Permitted Transferee includes: (1) any Eligible Class A Holders, which include an incumbent director of the Company, an incumbent executive officer of the Company, incumbent members of the Company, and companies wholly owned by such directors, executive officers, or members, at such times and on such terms, for such consideration, and subject to such conditions as the directors, in their absolute discretion, may think fit; and (2) in respect of a person, any other person that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such person, and (a) in the case of a natural person, includes, without limitation, such person's spouse, parents, children, siblings, mother-in-law and father-in-law and brothers and sisters-in-law, whether by blood, marriage or adoption or anyone residing in such person's home, a trust for the benefit of any of the foregoing, a company, partnership or any natural person or entity wholly or jointly owned by any of the foregoing and (b) in the case of an entity, includes a partnership, a corporation or any natural person or entity which directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such entity. In addition, each Class A Share is convertible into one ordinary share at any time at the option of the holder, but ordinary shares shall not be convertible into Class A Shares under any circumstances. The proposed amended and restated memorandum and articles of association would not prohibit us from issuing additional Class A Shares, and any future issuances of Class A Shares may be dilutive to holders of ordinary shares. The conversion of Class A Shares might have an impact on holders of ordinary shares due to the potential increase in the relative voting power of any holder of Class A Shares that retains such shares.

The dual-class structure may adversely affect the trading market for our ordinary shares. We cannot predict whether our dual-class structure will result in a lower or more volatile market price of our ordinary shares or in adverse publicity or other adverse consequences. For example, certain index providers have announced restrictions on companies with dual-class or multi-class share structures in their indices. In July 2017, S&P Dow Jones and FTSE Russell announced changes to their eligibility criteria for the inclusion of shares of public companies on certain indices, including the Russell 2000, the S&P 500, the S&P MidCap 400 and the S&P SmallCap 600, to exclude companies with multiple classes of shares from being added to these indices. Beginning in 2017, MSCI, a leading stock index provider, opened public consultations on their treatment of no-vote and multi-class structures and temporarily barred new multi-class listings from certain of its indices; however, in October 2018, MSCI announced its decision to include equity securities "with unequal voting structures" in its indices and to launch a new index that specifically includes voting rights in its eligibility criteria. As a result, our dual-class structure would make us ineligible for inclusion in any of these indices, and mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and other investment vehicles that attempt to passively track these indices will not be investing in our ordinary shares. These policies are still relatively new and it is as of yet unclear what effect, if any, they will have on the valuations of publicly traded companies excluded from the indices, but it is possible that they may depress these valuations compared to those of other similar companies that are included. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that other stock indices will not take a similar approach to S&P Dow Jones or FTSE Russell in the future. Exclusion from indices could make our ordinary shares less attractive to investors and, as a result, the market price of our ordinary shares could be adversely affected.

After careful consideration, the Board of Directors unanimously directs **<u>all</u>** above resolutions be submitted to shareholders and recommends that shareholders authorize and approve **<u>all</u>** of the above resolutions.

**OTHER MATTERS**

The Board of Directors is not aware of any other matters to be submitted to the Special Meeting. If any other matters properly come before the Special Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy to vote the shares they represent as the Board of Directors may recommend.

**Transfer Agent and Registrar**

The transfer agent and registrar for our ordinary shares is Transhare Corporation. Its address is Bayside Center 1, 17755 US Highway 19 N, Suite 140, Clearwater, FL 33764.

| **1** | **Share Certificates** |

---

1.1 Every
 person whose name is entered as a member in the Company's register of members, being
 the holder of registered shares, shall without payment (except where otherwise noted) be
 entitled to a share certificate in the following circumstances:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) on
 the issuance of such shares to such member;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) on
 the transfer of such shares to such member;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) on
 a re-designation or conversion of such shares with the effect that the certificate previously
 issued no longer properly describes such shares; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) at
 the discretion of the directors (who may levy a reasonable charge), on notice to the Company
 of a change of name of the member.

1.2 Such
 certificate shall be signed by a director or under the common seal of the Company (which
 the registered agent of the Company is authorised to affix to such certificate) with or without
 the signature of any director or officer of the Company specifying the share or shares held
 and the par value thereof (if any), provided that in respect of shares held jointly by several
 persons, the Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate and delivery of
 a certificate for a share to one of several joint holders shall be sufficient delivery to
 all.

1.3 If
 a certificate is worn out or lost it may, subject to the prior written consent of any mortgagee
 or chargee whose interest has been noted on the Company's register of members, be renewed
 on production of the worn out certificate, or on satisfactory proof of its loss together
 with such indemnity as the directors may reasonably require. Any member receiving a share
 certificate shall indemnify and hold the Company and its officers harmless from any loss
 or liability which it or they may incur by reason of wrongful or fraudulent use or representation
 made by any person by virtue of the possession of such a certificate.

|:---|:---|
| **2** | **Issue of Shares** |

---

2.1 Subject
 to the provisions of these Articles, the unissued shares of the Company (whether forming
 part of the original or any increased authorised shares) shall be at the disposal of the
 directors who may offer, allot, grant options over or otherwise dispose of them to such persons
 at such times and for such consideration, being not less than the par value (if any) of the
 shares being disposed of, and upon such terms and conditions as the directors may determine.
 Such consideration may take any form acceptable to the directors, 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.
 Before issuing shares for a consideration other than money, the directors shall pass a Resolution
 of Directors stating:

4.1 Registered <u>Subject to Article 4.2, registered</u> shares
 in the Company shall be transferred by a written instrument of transfer signed by the transferor
 and containing the name and address of the transferee. The instrument of transfer shall also
 be signed by the transferee if registration as a holder of the shares imposes a liability
 to the Company on the transferee. The instrument of transfer of a registered share shall
 be sent to the Company for registration.

4.2 <u>Where ordinary shares are listed on a Recognised Exchange, (a) Articles 4.1, 4.4 and 4.5 shall not apply to ordinary shares and (b) the ordinary shares may be transferred without the need for a written instrument of transfer if the transfer is carried out in accordance with the law, rules, procedures and other requirements applicable to ordinary shares listed on the Recognised Exchange.</u> 

4.3 <u>Unless a holder of Class A Shares otherwise notifies the Company prior to any transfer that the proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee and provides satisfactory evidence thereof, as determined by the directors in their sole discretion, any Class A Shares that it purports to transfer shall automatically be converted into Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the consummation of such transfer and in accordance with the mechanics set forth in Art</u> <u>icles</u> 7.4 <u>to</u> 7.9 <u>. The directors shall have the authority to review and approve or reject the proposed transfer based</u> <u>on the transferee's status.</u>

 to the Memorandum, these Articles and to , section 54(5) of the Act <u>and Article 4.2</u>,
 the Company shall, on receipt of an instrument of transfer, enter the name of the transferee
 of the share in the Company's register of members unless the directors resolve to refuse
 or delay the registration of the transfer for reasons that shall be specified in the resolution.
 Where the directors pass such a resolution, the Company shall send to the transferor and
 the transferee a notice of the refusal or delay. Notwithstanding anything contained in the
 Memorandum or Articles, the directors shall not decline to register any transfer of shares,
 nor may they suspend registration thereof where such transfer is:

 any mortgagee or chargee whose interest has been noted on the Company's register of
 members;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) by
 any such mortgagee or chargee, pursuant to the power of sale under its security; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) by
 any such mortgagee or chargee in accordance with the terms of the relevant security document.

4.3<u>4.5</u> The <u>Subject to Article 4.2, the</u> transfer
 of a registered share is effective when the name of the transferee is entered in the Company's
 register of members.

4.4<u>4.6</u> In
 all offerings of securities pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act, the Company shall
 require that its share transfer agent (to the extent that the Company has appointed a share
 transfer agent) refuse to register any transfer of securities not made in accordance with
 the provisions of Regulation S of the Securities Act, pursuant to registration under the
 Securities Act or an available exemption thereunder.

 ****

6.1 Subject
 to sections 52(2) and 53 of the Act, the executor or administrator of a deceased member,
 the guardian of an incompetent member or the trustee of a bankrupt member shall be the only
 person recognised by the Company as having any title to his share, save that and only in
 the event of death, incompetence or bankruptcy of any member or members as a consequence
 of which the Company no longer has any directors or members, then upon the production of
 any documentation which is reasonable evidence of the applicant being entitled to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) a
 grant of probate of the deceased's will, or grant of letters of administration of the
 deceased's estate, or confirmation of the appointment as executor or administrator
 (as the case may be, or analogous position in the relevant jurisdiction), of a deceased member's
 estate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the
 appointment of a guardian (or analogous position in the relevant jurisdiction) of an incompetent
 member;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the
 appointment as trustee (or analogous position in the relevant jurisdiction) of a bankrupt
 member; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) upon
 production of any other reasonable evidence of the applicant's beneficial ownership
 of, or entitlement to the shares,

to the Company's registered agent in the British Virgin Islands together with (if so requested by the registered agent) a notarised copy of the share certificate(s) of the deceased, incompetent or bankrupt member, an indemnity in favour of the registered agent and/or appropriate legal advice in respect of any document issued by a foreign court, then the administrator, executor, guardian or trustee in bankruptcy (as the case may be) notwithstanding that their name has not been entered in the Company's register of members, may by written resolution of the applicant, endorsed with written approval by the registered agent, be appointed a director and/or entered in the Company's register of members as the legal and/or beneficial owner of the shares.

6.2 Without
 limiting the foregoing, the production to the Company of any document which is reasonable
 evidence of:

(a) a
 grant of probate of the will, or grant of letters of administration of the estate, or confirmation
 of the appointment as executor (or analogous position in the relevant jurisdiction), of a
 deceased member;

(b) the
 appointment of a guardian (or analogous position in the relevant jurisdiction) of an incompetent
 member;

(c) the
 trustee (or analogous position in the relevant jurisdiction) of a bankrupt member; or

(d) the
 applicant's legal and/or beneficial ownership of the shares,

shall be accepted by the Company even if the deceased, incompetent member or bankrupt member is resident and/or domiciled outside the British Virgin Islands if the document is issued by a foreign court which had competent jurisdiction in the matter. For the purposes of establishing whether or not a foreign court had competent jurisdiction in such a matter the directors may obtain appropriate legal advice. The directors may also require an indemnity to be given by the executor, administrator, guardian, trustee in bankruptcy or the applicant.

6.3 Any
 person becoming entitled by operation of law or otherwise to a share or shares in consequence
 of the death, incompetence or bankruptcy of any member may be registered as a member upon
 such evidence being produced as may reasonably be required by the directors. An application
 by any such person to be registered as a member shall for all purposes be deemed to be a
 transfer of shares of the deceased, incompetent or bankrupt member and the directors shall
 treat it as such.

6.4 Any
 person who has become entitled to a share or shares in consequence of the death, incompetence
 or bankruptcy of any member may, instead of being registered himself, request in writing
 that some person to be named by him be registered as the transferee of such share or shares
 and such request shall likewise be treated as if it were a transfer.

6.5 What
 amounts to incompetence on the part of a person is a matter to be determined by the court
 having regard to all the relevant evidence and the circumstances of the case.

7.5 <u>Until such time as the Class A Shares have been converted into Ordinary Shares, the Company shall: (A) at all times keep available for issue and free of all liens, charges, options, mortgages, pledges, claims, equities, encumbrances and other third-party rights of any nature, and not subject to any pre-emptive rights out of its authorised but unissued shares, such number of authorised but unissued Ordinary Shares as would enable all Class A Shares to be converted into Class A Shares and any other rights of conversion into, subscription for or exchange into Class A Shares to be satisfied in full.</u> 

7.6 <u>Any conversion of Class A Shares into Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Memorandum and these Articles shall be effected by the re-designation of each Class A Share into one Ordinary Share. Such conversion shall become effective forthwith upon entries being made in the register of members to record the re-designation of the relevant Class A Shares as Ordinary Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, such re-designation shall not be effected by a redemption and reissue of shares.</u> 

7.7 <u>The Conversion Ratio shall also be adjusted to account for any subdivision (by share subdivision, exchange, capitalisation, rights issue, reclassification, recapitalisation or otherwise) or combination (by share consolidation, exchange, reclassification, recapitalisation or otherwise), bonus share issue or similar reclassification or recapitalisation of the Ordinary Shares in issue into a greater or lesser number of shares occurring after the date of registration of these Memorandum and Articles without a proportionate and corresponding subdivision, combination or similar reclassification or recapitalisation of the Class A Shares in issue.</u>

7.9 <u>Upon conversion of any Class A Shares into Ordinary Shares in accordance with Articles</u> <u>7.4 to 7.8 , such Ordinary Shares:</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>shall be credited as fully paid, free from all encumbrances;</u> 

(b) <u>shall rank pari passu in all respects and form one class with the Ordinary Shares then in issue (if any); and</u>

|:---|:---|
| **10** | **Proceedings at Meetings of Members** |

---

10.1 No
 business shall be transacted at any meeting of members unless a quorum of members is present
 at the time when the meeting proceeds to business. A quorum shall consist of the holder or
 holders present in person or by proxy entitled to exercise at least a majority of the voting
 rights of the shares of each class or series of shares entitled to vote as a class or series
 thereon and the same proportion of the votes of the remaining shares entitled to vote thereon.
 For the avoidance of doubt, the members present at a duly convened meeting may continue to
 transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough members to
 leave less than a quorum.

10.2 A
 member shall be deemed to be present at a meeting of members if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) he
 or his proxy participates by telephone or other electronic means; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) all
 members and proxies participating in the meeting are able to hear each other.

10.3 If,
 within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting, a quorum is not present, the
 meeting shall be:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) dissolved;
 or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) those
 members present and entitled to vote (in person or by proxy) may resolve to adjourn the meeting
 from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum
 shall be present or represented. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after
 adjournment a new Record Date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned
 meeting shall be given to the persons who appear as members in the Company's register
 of members on the Record Date and are entitled to notice of or to vote at the meeting. At
 such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may
 be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

10.4 A
 member may attend a meeting of members personally or be represented by a proxy who may speak
 and vote on behalf of the member.

10.5 The
 instrument appointing a proxy shall be produced at the place appointed for the meeting before
 the time for holding the meeting at which the person named in such instrument proposes to
 vote. An instrument appointing a proxy shall be in such form as the Chairman of the meeting
 shall accept as properly evidencing the wishes of the member appointing the proxy, but must
 be in writing under the hand of the appointer unless the appointer is a corporation or other
 form of legal entity (other than one or more individuals holding as joint owner) in which
 case the instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing under the hand of an individual
 duly authorised by such corporation or legal entity to execute the same.

10.6 At
 every meeting the members present shall choose someone of their number to be the chairman
 (the "**Chairman** "). If the members are unable to choose a Chairman for any
 reason, then the person representing the greatest number of voting shares present at the
 meeting shall preside as Chairman.

10.7 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.

10.8 At
 any meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a voice vote
 or show of hands by the holders of a majority of in excess of fifty (50) percent of the votes
 of those members (or their duly appointed proxies) entitled to vote and voting on the resolution,
 unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of the result of the voice vote or show of
 hands) demanded:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) by
 the Chairman; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) by
 any member present in person or by proxy and holding not less than one tenth of the total
 voting shares issued and having the right to vote on such resolution.

10.9 Unless
 a poll be so demanded, a declaration by the Chairman that a resolution has, on voice vote
 or a show of hands been carried, and an entry to that effect in the book containing the minutes
 of the proceedings of the Company, shall be sufficient evidence of the fact, without proof
 of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against such resolution.

10.10 If
 a poll is duly demanded it shall be taken in such manner as the Chairman directs, and the
 result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll
 was demanded. The demand for a poll may be withdrawn, at the discretion of the Chairman.

10.11 On
 a poll, every holder of a voting share present in person or by proxy shall have one vote
 for every voting share of which he is the holder which confers the right to a vote on the
 resolution.

10.12 In
 the case of an equality of votes, whether on a voice vote or show of hands or on a poll,
 the Chairman of the meeting at which the voice vote or show of hands takes place, or at which
 the poll is demanded, shall not be entitled to a second or casting vote.

10.13 Subject
 to the Memorandum or these Articles, an action that may be taken by members at a meeting
 of members may also be taken by Written Resolution.

10.14 If
 a committee is appointed for any member who is of unsound mind, that member may vote by such
 committee.

10.15 The
 register of members (or a copy of the register of members) shall be kept on file at the registered
 office of the Company for a period of ten days prior to any meeting of the members and shall
 be subject to inspection by any member at any time during usual business hours. The register
 of members (or a copy of the register of members) shall be produced and kept open at the
 time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and shall be subject to the
 inspection of any member who may be present.

 registered owner may be present in person or by proxy at a meeting of members and may speak
 as a member;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) if
 two or more are present in person or by proxy, they must vote as one. If more than one joint
 owner votes in person or by proxy at any meeting of members or by Written Resolution, the
 vote of the joint owner whose name appears first among such voting joint holders in the Company's
 register of members shall alone be counted.

---

Any corporation or other form of corporate legal entity which is a member may by resolution of its directors or other governing body authorise such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the members or any class of members, and the person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation which he represents as that corporation could exercise if it were an individual member.

 the number of persons validly proposed for re-election or election as a director is greater
 than the number of directors to be elected, the persons receiving the most votes (up to the
 number of directors to be elected) shall be elected as directors, and an absolute majority
 of the votes cast shall not be a prerequisite to the election of such directors.

14.4 Notwithstanding
 the requirements of Articles 14.2 <u>14.2</u> and 14.3, <u>14.3</u>, the directors may by Resolution of Directors appoint any person as a director of the
 Company:

 fill a vacancy arising by reason of the matters referred to at 14.5(a) to (d) below; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) as
 an additional director of the Company (provided that the number of directors shall not exceed

 from time to time passed pursuant to Article 14.11 <u>14.11</u> and for the avoidance of doubt this Article 14.4(b) <u>14.4(b)</u> shall not restrict the directors from passing a new Resolution of Directors pursuant to Article 14.11 <u>14.11</u> increasing the maximum number of directors).

14.5 Each
 director shall hold office until the earlier of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) his
 disqualification to act as a director under section 111 of the Act (on which his office as

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) his
 death;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) his

 with the business of the Company as shall be approved by Resolution of Directors or Resolution
 of Members.

 the alternate, if undue delay or difficulty would be occasioned by giving notice to a director
 of a resolution of which his approval is sought in accordance with these Articles his alternate
 (if any) shall be entitled to signify approval of the same on behalf of that director. The
 remuneration of an alternate shall be payable out of the remuneration payable to the director
 appointing him, as agreed between such alternate and the director appointing him. A director,
 by writing under his hand deposited at the registered office, may at any time vary or revoke
 the appointment of an alternate appointed by him. If a director shall die or cease to hold
 the office of director, the appointment of his alternate shall thereupon cease and terminate.

15.2 Where
 the Company has only one member with voting rights who is an individual and that member is
 also the sole director (the "**sole member/director** "), that sole member/director
 may, by instrument in writing, nominate a person who is not disqualified from being a director
 under section 111(1) of the Act as a reserve director of the Company to act in the place
 of the sole director in the event of his death. A person shall not be nominated as a reserve
 director unless he has consented in writing to be nominated as a reserve director. The nomination
 of a person as a reserve director of the Company ceases to have effect if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) before
 the death of the sole member/director who nominated him:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) he
 resigns as reserve director; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the
 sole member/director revokes the nomination in writing; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the
 sole member/director who nominated him ceases to be the sole member/director for any reason
 other than his death.

| **16** | **Duties of Directors and Conflicts of Interests** |

---

16.1 A
 director, in exercising his powers or performing his duties, shall act honestly and in good
 faith and in what the director believes to be in the best interests of the Company.

16.2 Notwithstanding
 the foregoing Article, if the Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary, a director may, when
 exercising powers or performing duties as a director, act in a manner which he believes is
 in the best interests of that Company's holding company (as defined in the Act) even
 though it may not be in the best interests of the Company.

16.3 A
 director shall exercise his powers as a director for a proper purpose and shall not act,
 or agree to the Company acting, in a manner that contravenes the Act or the Memorandum or
 Articles.

16.4 A
 director, when exercising powers or performing duties as a director, shall exercise the care,
 diligence, and skill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances
 taking into account, but without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the
 nature of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the
 nature of the decision; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the
 position of the director and the nature of the responsibilities undertaken by him.

16.5 A
 director, when exercising his powers or performing his duties as a director, is entitled
 to rely upon the register of members and upon books, records, financial statements and other
 information prepared or supplied, and on professional or expert advice given, by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) an
 employee of the Company whom the director believes on reasonable grounds to be reliable and
 competent in relation to the matters concerned;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) a
 professional adviser or expert in relation to matters which the director believes on reasonable
 grounds to be within the person's professional or expert competence; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) any
 other director, or committee of directors upon which the director did not serve, in relation
 to matters within the director's or committee's designated authority,

provided that the director: (i) acts in good faith; (ii) makes proper inquiry where the need for the inquiry is indicated by the circumstances; and (iii) has no knowledge that his reliance on the register of members or the books, records, financial statements and other information or expert advice is not warranted.

16.6 A
 director may hold any other office or position of profit under the Company (except that of
 auditor) in conjunction with his office of director, and may act in a professional capacity
 to the Company on such terms as to remuneration and otherwise as the directors shall approve.

16.7 A
 director may be or become a director or officer of, or otherwise be interested in any company
 promoted by the Company, or in which the Company may be interested, as a member or otherwise
 and no such director shall be accountable for any remuneration or other benefits received
 by him as director or officer or from his interest in such other company. The directors may
 also exercise the voting powers conferred by the shares in any other company held or owned
 by the Company in such manner in all respects as they think fit, including the exercise thereof
 in favour of any resolutions appointing them, or of their number, directors or officers of
 such other company, or voting or providing for the payment of remuneration to the directors
 or officers of such other company. A director may vote in favour of the exercise of such
 voting rights in the manner aforesaid notwithstanding that he may be, or be about to become,
 a director or officer of such other company, and as such in any other manner is, or may be,
 interested in the exercise of such voting rights in the manner aforesaid.

16.8 No
 director shall be disqualified by his office from contracting with the Company either as
 a buyer, seller or otherwise, nor shall any such contract or arrangement entered into by
 or on behalf of the Company in which any director shall be in any way interested be voided,
 nor shall any director so contracting or being so interested be liable to account to the
 Company for any profit realised by any such contract or arrangement, by reason of such director
 holding that office or by reason of the fiduciary relationship thereby established, provided
 such director shall, immediately after becoming aware of the fact that he is interested in
 a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the Company, disclose such interest to
 the board. For the purposes of this Article:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) a
 director is not required to make such a disclosure if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the
 transaction or proposed transaction is between the director and the Company; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the
 transaction or proposed transaction is or is to be entered into in the ordinary course of
 the Company's business and on usual terms and conditions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) a
 disclosure to the board to the effect that a director is a member, director, officer or trustee
 of another named company or other person and is to be regarded as interested in any transaction
 which may, after the date of the entry or disclosure, be entered into with that company or
 person, is a sufficient disclosure of interest in relation to that transaction. Such a disclosure
 is not made to the board unless it is made or brought to the attention of every director
 on the board; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) subject
 to section 125(1) of the Act, the failure by a director to comply with this Article does
 not affect the validity of a transaction entered into by the director or the Company.

16.9 A
 director who is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the Company
 may:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) vote
 on a matter relating to the transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) attend

 among the directors present at the meeting for the purposes of a quorum; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) sign

 or these Articles required to be exercised by the members, subject to any delegation of such
 powers as may be authorised by these Articles and permitted by the Act and to such requirements

18.4 The
 directors may, by Resolution of Directors, appoint officers of the Company at the first meeting
 of directors after each annual meeting of members, and at such times as shall be considered

 the directors under these Articles) and for such period and subject to such conditions as
 the directors think fit.

18.8 The
 directors may appoint any person, including a person who is a director, to be an agent of

19.1 The
 directors may meet together for the dispatch of business, adjourn and otherwise regulate

 be held at such place or places (within or outside the British Virgin Islands) as the directors
 shall decide.

19.2 The
 directors may resolve to hold regular meetings at fixed times and locations (as such times
 and locations are determined by the directors) and subject to the directors so resolving
 to hold regular meetings as aforesaid, no further notice of such regular meetings must be
 given to the directors.

19.3 Meetings
 of the directors may also be convened at any time by the Chairman of the Board or the director
 who is designated as the "Chief Executive Officer" (if any) or by the director
 who is designated as "President" (if any) on oral or written notice to each other
 director, given either personally, by telephone, by telegram or by mail, given at least forty-eight
 hours prior to the time of the meeting. Any such meeting of the directors shall be called
 by the Chief Executive Officer (if any), President (if any) or the Secretary (if any) in
 like manner and on like notice on the written request of at least two directors. Except as
 may be otherwise expressly provided by law, the Memorandum or these Articles, neither the
 business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any meeting of the directors needs to be
 specified in a notice or waiver of notice.

19.4 The
 inadvertent failure to give notice of a meeting to a director, or the fact that a director
 has not received the notice, shall not invalidate the meeting.

19.5 Any
 director who is a body corporate may appoint any person its duly authorised representative
 for the purpose of representing it at meetings of the directors and of transacting any of
 the business of the directors.

19.6 A
 meeting of the directors is duly constituted for all purposes if at the commencement of the
 meeting there are present in person or by alternate not less than a majority of the total
 number of directors.

19.7 If
 within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the
 meeting shall be dissolved.

19.8 A
 director shall be deemed to be present at a meeting of the board if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) he
 or his alternate participates by telephone or other electronic means; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) all
 directors and alternates participating in the meeting are able to hear each other.

19.9 The
 directors may elect a chairman (the "**Chairman of the Board**") of their
 meeting and determine the period for which he is to hold office. If no such Chairman of the
 Board is elected, or if at any meeting the Chairman of the Board is not present at the time
 appointed for holding the meeting, the directors present may choose one of their number to
 be Chairman of the Board for the meeting. If the directors are unable to choose a Chairman
 of the Board, for any reason, then the longest serving director present at the meeting shall
 preside as the Chairman of the Board.

19.10 Questions
 arising at any meeting of directors shall be decided by a <u>two-thirds</u> majority of votes. In case of an equality in votes the Chairman of the Board shall <u>not</u> have a second or casting vote.

19.11 A
 resolution approved by a majority <u>all</u> of the directors for the time being entitled to receive notice of a meeting of the directors
 or of a committee of the directors and taking the form of a Written Resolution shall be as
 valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of the directors or of such committee
 duly convened and held, without the need for any notice.

19.12 If
 the Company shall have only one director, the foregoing provisions for meetings of the directors
 shall not apply but such sole director shall have full power to represent and act for the
 Company in all matters and in lieu of minutes of a meeting shall record in writing and sign
 a note of memorandum of all matters requiring a Resolution of Directors. Such note or memorandum
 shall constitute sufficient evidence of such resolution for all purposes.

 any other requirement of the Memorandum or Articles, immediately following each annual meeting
 of the members, there shall be held at the same place as the annual meeting of the members
 as aforesaid, a meeting of the directors (and there shall be no requirement for any further
 notice of that meeting of the directors to be provided to the directors). The requirement
 under this Article 19.13 <u>19.13</u> may only be disapplied where the directors (being the directors in office immediately after
 the annual meeting of the members as aforesaid) unanimously resolve to change such time or
 place of such meeting of the directors.

| **20** | **Indemnification and Insurance** |

---

20.1 Subject
 to the provisions of the Act, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made
 a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
 criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was
 a director or officer of the Company (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include
 auditors of the Company), or who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director
 or officer of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (each
 an "**Indemnified Person**") shall be indemnified out of the assets of the
 Company against any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, judgments, fines, costs,
 damages or expenses, including legal expenses, whatsoever which they or any of them may reasonably
 incur as a result of any act or failure to act in carrying out their functions other than
 such liability (if any) that they may incur by reason of their own actual fraud or wilful
 default. No Indemnified Person shall be liable to the Company for any loss or damage incurred
 by the Company as a result (whether direct or indirect) of the carrying out of their functions
 unless that liability arises through the actual fraud or wilful default of such Indemnified
 Person. No person shall be found to have committed actual fraud or wilful default under this
 Article unless or until a court of competent jurisdiction shall have made a finding to that
 effect.

20.2 The
 Company shall advance to each Indemnified Person reasonable attorneys' fees and other
 costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defence of any action, suit, proceeding
 or investigation involving such Indemnified Person for which indemnity will or could be sought.
 In connection with any advance of any expenses hereunder, the Indemnified Person shall execute
 an undertaking to repay the advanced amount to the Company if it shall be determined by final
 judgment or other final adjudication that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification
 pursuant to this Article. If it shall be determined by a final judgment or other final adjudication
 that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such judgment,
 costs or expenses, then such party shall not be indemnified with respect to such judgment,
 costs or expenses and any advancement shall be returned to the Company (without interest)
 by the Indemnified Person.

20.3 No
 Indemnified Person shall be personally liable to the Company for damages for any breach of
 fiduciary duty as a director or officer; provided, however, that the foregoing provision
 shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer for:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) acts
 or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) for
 the violation of any provision of the Act, as amended from time to time, that expressly provides
 for liability of directors or officers notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary.

For the avoidance of doubt, any amendment (including any deletion) of this Article 20.3<u>20.3</u> by the members of the Company shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any limitation of the personal liability of an Indemnified Person for acts or omissions prior to such amendment (or deletion).

20.4 The
 directors, on behalf of the Company, may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit
 of any director or other officer of the Company against any liability which, by virtue of
 any rule of law, would otherwise attach to such person in respect of any negligence, default,
 breach of duty or breach of trust of which such person may be guilty in relation to the Company.

 so authorised from time to time by the directors.

21.2 A
 contract may be entered into by the Company as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) a
 contract that, if entered into by an individual, would be required by law to be in writing

 seal of the Company, or executed by or on behalf of the Company by a director or an authorised
 agent of the Company, and may be varied or discharged in the same manner;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) a
 contract that, if entered into by an individual, would be required by law to be in writing
 and signed, may be entered into by or on behalf of the Company in writing and signed by a
 person acting under the express or implied authority of the company, and may be varied or
 discharged in the same manner; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) a
 contract that, if entered into by an individual, would be valid although entered into orally,
 and not reduced to writing, may be entered into orally by or on behalf of the Company by
 a person acting under the express or implied authority of the Company, and may be varied
 or discharged in the same manner.

21.3 Notwithstanding
 the foregoing Article, an instrument is validly executed by the Company as a deed, or an
 instrument under seal, if it is either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) sealed
 with the common seal of the Company and witnessed by a director and/or such other person
 who is authorised by the Memorandum or Articles to witness the application of the common
 seal of the Company; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) expressed

 directors may from time to time think fit.

22.4 If
 several persons are registered as joint holders of any share, any of them may give effectual
 receipt for any distribution or other monies payable on or in respect of the share.

22.5 Notice
 of any distribution that may have been declared shall be given to each member in manner hereinafter
 mentioned and all distributions unclaimed for three years after having been declared may

 and it is able to pay its debts as they become due. A liquidator may, subject to the terms
 of the Act, be appointed by a Resolution of Directors or by a Resolution of Members.

 the Company shall be wound up, the liquidator may divide amongst the members in specie or

 property of the same kind or not) and may for such purpose set such value as he deems fair
 upon any such property to be divided as aforesaid and may determine how such division shall
 be carried out as between the members or different classes of members. The liquidator may
 vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trust for the benefit of
 the contributors as the liquidator shall think fit, but so that no member shall be compelled
 to accept any shares or other securities whereon there is any liability.
