The parties designate the Collateral Leases and Collateral Leased Vehicles listed on Exhibit A to be the “20__-_ Reference Pool” and each Collateral Lease and Collateral Leased Vehicle included in the 20__-_ Reference Pool to be a “Lease” and a “Leased Vehicle,” respectively.

 

ARTICLE III
 THE SERVICER

 

Section 3.1.                    Appointment of Servicer.  Each party acknowledges and agrees that the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement will also act as Servicer under this Servicing Supplement of the 20__-_ Reference Pool and the 20__-_ Exchange Note and will also act as agent of any Holding Company, as Holder of the related Collateral Specified Interest Certificate in the management and control of the Leases and Leased Vehicles and for all other purposes set forth in this Servicing Supplement and the Servicing Agreement.  Ford Credit accepts those appointments.

 

Section 3.2.                    Representations of the Servicer.  The Servicer has made the representations set forth in Section 3.2 of the Servicing Agreement on which the Lender, the Holding Companies and the Collateral Agent have relied, and the 20__-_ Exchange Noteholder, in acquiring the 20__-_ Exchange Note, will rely.  Those representations are remade as of the Exchange Note Issuance Date and will survive the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the 20__-_ Exchange Note to the 20__-_ Exchange Noteholder, the Depositor and the Issuer and the pledge of the 20__-_ Exchange Note to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.  The Servicer additionally represents and warrants to the Depositor and the Issuer as of the date of this Servicing Supplement that no selection procedures believed to be adverse to the 20__-_ Exchange Noteholder have been utilized in selecting the Leases and Leased Vehicles included in the 20__-_ Reference Pool from other leases and leased vehicles that meet the criteria specified in Section 3.3.

 

Section 3.3.                    Representations and Warranties About the Leases and the Leased Vehicles.  The Servicer represents and warrants to the Depositor and the Issuer as of the date of this Servicing Supplement and the 20__-_ Closing Date (except as otherwise specified), which representations and warranties (i) the 20__-_ Exchange Noteholder, the Depositor and the Issuer have relied on in acquiring the 20__-_ Exchange Note and (ii) will survive the sale of the 20__-_ Exchange Note to the 20__-_ Exchange Noteholder, the Depositor and the Issuer and the pledge of the 20__-_ Exchange Note to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture:

 

(a)                               New Vehicle.  Each Leased Vehicle was a new car, light truck or utility vehicle at the beginning of the related Lease; provided, that a Leased Vehicle that has never been titled and has not been driven more than 6,000 miles will be deemed to be a new vehicle for purposes of this representation and warranty.

 

(b)                              Certificate of Title.  Each Leased Vehicle was titled in accordance with the related Titling Company Agreement and in a manner acceptable to the relevant Governmental Authority, or the Servicer has commenced procedures that will result in that title.

 

2

 

(c)                               Security Interest in Lease and Leased Vehicle.  The Collateral Agent has a security interest in each Lease and Leased Vehicle which was validly created and is a perfected, first priority security interest, and is noted as lienholder on the certificate of title for each Leased Vehicle, or the Servicer has commenced procedures that will result in the perfection of a first priority security interest in the related Leased Vehicle, including by notation of the lien on the certificate of title.

 

(d)                             Interest in Lease and Leased Vehicle.  Each Lease was entered into by a Dealer located in the United States, as lessor, and a Lessee with a garaging location in an Eligible State, as lessee, and all of the Dealer’s right, title and interest in the Lease and the related Leased Vehicle was validly assigned to a Titling Company qualified to hold the Leased Vehicle.

 

(e)                               Origination of Leases.  Each Lease was originated by a Dealer in the ordinary course of its business and has been fully executed by the parties to the Lease and at the time of its origination, substantially complied with the Servicer’s Credit and Collection Policy.

 

(f)                                Total Payments.  Each Lease (other than an Advance Payment Plan Lease) provides for Total Payments that include Base Payments.

 

(g)                              Compliance with Law.  Each Lease complied in all material respects at the time it was originated, and as of the date of this Servicing Supplement will comply in all material respects, with all requirements of federal, State and local laws.

 

(h)                              Consents, Licenses, Approvals and Authorizations.  All material consents, licenses, approvals or authorizations of, or registrations or declarations with, any Governmental Authority required to be obtained, effected or given by the Dealer that originated a Lease or the related Titling Company in connection with (i) the origination of the Lease, (ii) the execution, delivery and performance by the Dealer of the Lease and (iii) the acquisition and ownership by the related Titling Company of the Lease and the related Leased Vehicle, had been duly obtained, effected or given and were in full force and effect as of the date of origination or acquisition and remained in full force and effect.

 

(i)                                  Binding Obligation.  Each Lease is on a form contract that includes rights and remedies allowing the holder to enforce the obligation and realize on the Leased Vehicle and represents the legal, valid and binding payment obligation of the related Lessee, enforceable in all material respects by the holder of the Lease, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general equitable principles and consumer protection laws.

 

(j)                                  No Government Lessee.  No Lease is an obligation of the United States or any State or local government or from any agency, department, or instrumentality or political subdivision of the United States or any State or local government.

 

(k)                              No Commercial Lease.  No Lease is a commercial lease contract, master lease contract or fleet vehicle lease contract; provided, that no Lease that is a retail lease contract will breach this representation solely because the related Lessee is a commercial lessee or the Leased Vehicle will be used for commercial purposes.

 

3

 

(l)                                  Leases in Force.  As of the Cutoff Date, no Lease (i) is a Terminating Lease or a Closed Lease or (ii) has been satisfied, subordinated, rescinded, cancelled or terminated, in whole or in part.

 

(m)                          No Waiver or Amendments.  No material provision of a Lease (other than the assessment of a security deposit or a Payment Extension Fee or the payment of any other amount that, on collection, would constitute an Additional Amount, or a default relating to failure by the related Lessee to pay any such amount) has been affirmatively waived or amended, except amendments and modifications that are contained in the Lease Files.

 

(n)                              No Extensions.  As of the Cutoff Date, no extensions other than Payment Extensions not exceeding three months in the aggregate under any Lease have been granted.

 

(o)                              No Defenses.  To the Servicer’s knowledge, no right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense has been asserted or threatened for any Lease.

 

(p)                              No Delinquency or Default.  Except for payments that are not more than 30 days delinquent as of the Cutoff Date, no payment defaults (determined in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy) exist.

 

(q)                              Insurance.  Each Lease requires the lessee to obtain physical damage and liability insurance covering the related Leased Vehicle.

 

(r)                                 Title.  The applicable Titling Company has good title, or the Servicer has commenced procedures that will result in good title, to each Lease and each Leased Vehicle, free and clear of any Liens other than Permitted Liens.

 

(s)                                Valid Assignment.  No Lease was originated in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under which the sale and assignment of the Lease or the related Leased Vehicle to the Titling Company would be unlawful, void, or voidable.  Each Lease is fully assignable and no Dealer has entered into any agreement with any Lessee that prohibits, restricts or conditions the assignment of any portion of a Lease.

 

(t)                                 Chattel Paper.  Each Lease constitutes either “tangible chattel paper” or “electronic chattel paper” within the meaning of Section 9-102(a) of the UCC and there is only one original authenticated copy of each.

 

(u)                              Maturity of Leases.  Each Lease has an original Scheduled Lease End Date of no greater than 48 months from its Lease Date.

 

(v)                              Peace of Mind.  No Lease that is an Advance Payment Plan Lease has been identified by the Servicer as qualifying for the benefits of its “Peace of Mind” program for Lessees who were at least 62 years of age at Lease inception and who die during the term of the related Lease.

 

(w)                          No Bankruptcy Proceeding.  As of the Cutoff Date, the Servicer has not received actual notice that the Lessee on any Lease is a debtor in a bankruptcy proceeding.

 

4

 

(x)                              No Allocation to Other Specified Interest.  No Lease or Leased Vehicle has been allocated to any Specified Interest other than a Collateral Specified Interest.

 

(y)                              Valid Security Interest.  The Collateral Agent has a valid security interest, or the Servicer has commenced procedures that will result in a valid security interest, in the Collateral Leases and the Collateral Leased Vehicles and all proceeds thereof.

 

(z)                               Information about Leases.  The information on the schedule of Collateral Leases and Collateral Leased Vehicles attached as Exhibit A is true and correct in all material respects as of the Cutoff Date.

 

Section 3.4.                    Liability of the Servicer; Indemnities.

 

(a)                               The Servicer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Titling Company, the Holders of the Collateral Specified Interest Certificates, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lender, the Indenture Trustee and the 20__-_ Exchange Noteholder (each, for this Section 3.4(a), an “Indemnified Person”) in accordance with Section 3.3 of the Servicing Agreement as well as from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, arising out of the Servicer’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence.

 

(b)                              The Servicer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (each, for this Section 3.4(b), an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities arising out of, or incurred in connection with, the acceptance of or performance by the Servicer of the trusts and duties contained in this Servicing Supplement, except to the extent that the cost, expense, loss, damage, claim or liability:  (i) is due to the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of the Indemnified Person, (ii) in the case of the Owner Trustee, arises from the Owner Trustee’s breach of any of its representations or warranties set forth in the Trust Agreement or (iii) in the case of the Indenture Trustee, arises from the Indenture Trustee’s breach of any of its representations and warranties set forth in the Indenture.

 

(c)                               In addition to the Indemnified Parties included in the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer will indemnify the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee as “Indemnified Parties” under Sections 3.3(b), (c) and (d) of the Servicing Agreement.

 

Section 3.5.                    Purchase on Breach.

 

(a)                               Deposit of Administrative Reallocation Amount.

 

(i)                                  If a Responsible Person of the Servicer has actual knowledge, or receives notice from the 20__-_ Exchange Noteholder or the Indenture Trustee, of a breach of (A) a representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.3 of this Servicing Supplement, (B) the covenant set forth in Section 3.8(b) of the Servicing Agreement, (C) the covenant set forth in Section 3.6 of this Servicing Supplement or (D) the covenant set forth in Section 6.7 of the Servicing Agreement, in each case, that materially and adversely affects any Lease and Leased Vehicle, the Servicer will deposit in the Exchange Note Collection Account an amount equal to the Administrative Reallocation Amount of each such Lease and Leased

Vehicle as of the last day of the second Collection Period following the Collection Period in which the Servicer obtained actual knowledge, or was notified, of the breach (or, at the Servicer’s option, the end of the first Collection Period following the Collection Period in which the Servicer obtained actual knowledge, or was notified, of the breach) unless, by that last day the breach has been cured in all material respects.

 

(ii)                              The Servicer may deposit in the Exchange Note Collection Account an amount equal to the Administrative Reallocation Amount of any Lease and Leased Vehicle if the Servicer determines, in its sole discretion, that, as a result of a receivables systems error or receivables systems limitation or for any other reason, the Servicer is unable to service the Lease and Leased Vehicle in accordance with the Servicing Agreement or this Servicing Supplement.  The Servicer will deposit in the Exchange Note Collection Account an amount equal to the Administrative Reallocation Amount of any Lease (and with the related Leased Vehicle) that is an Advance Payment Plan Lease if the Servicer determines that the Lease qualifies for the benefit of its “Peace of Mind” program.

 

(iii)                          So long as Ford Credit remains the Servicer, the Servicer will deposit in the Exchange Note Collection Account an amount equal to the Administrative Reallocation Amount of any Lease and Leased Vehicle if the Servicer is notified that the Leased Vehicle is no longer owned by a Titling Company.

 

(iv)                          The Servicer will deposit the Administrative Reallocation Amount of any Lease and related Leased Vehicle that the Servicer is removing from the 20__-_ Reference Pool in accordance with this Section 3.5(a) in the Exchange Note Collection Account on the Business Day preceding the Payment Date (or, with satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, on the Payment Date) related to the Collection Period during which the purchase occurs.

 

(b)                              Reallocation Sole Remedy for Breach.  Except as provided in Section 3.3, the sole remedy of the Collateral Agent, the 20__-_ Exchange Noteholder, the Indenture Trustee and the holders of the Notes for a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.3 is as set forth in Section 3.5(a).

 

(c)                               Reallocation of Purchased Leases and Leased Vehicles.  On the deposit of the Administrative Reallocation Amount for any Lease and Leased Vehicle under Section 3.5(a), the Lease and Leased Vehicle will be reallocated to the Revolving Facility Pool at the direction of the Servicer and will no longer be included in the 20__-_ Reference Pool.

 

Section 3.6.                    Collection of Payments.  The Servicer may grant extensions, waivers, rebates, modifications or adjustments on to any Collateral Lease, except that if, after the Cutoff Date, the Servicer (a) modifies the amount of the Base Payment due on any Lease or (b) grants a Payment Extension or Term Extension that extends any Lease past the Final Scheduled Payment Date for the most junior Class of Notes, the Servicer will reallocate the Lease and the related Leased Vehicle to the Revolving Facility Pool in accordance with Section 3.5, except, in either case, to the extent that any such modification is required by law or court order.

 

6

 

Section 3.7.                    Servicer May Own Exchange Note and Notes.  The Servicer, and any Affiliate of the Servicer, may, in its individual or any other capacity, become the owner or pledgee of the 20__-_ Exchange Note and/or the Notes with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Servicer or an Affiliate thereof, except as otherwise provided in the Servicing Agreement, this Servicing Supplement, the Credit and Security Agreement and the Indenture.  Except as set forth in the Servicing Agreement, this Servicing Supplement or in the other 20__-_ Basic Documents, Notes so owned by or pledged to the Servicer or the Affiliate will have an equal and proportionate benefit under the Servicing Agreement and this Servicing Supplement.

 

Section 3.8.                    Fees and Expenses.

SHARE CAPITAL: ISSUE OF SHARES 
  

	3	The business of the Company may be commenced as soon after incorporation of the Company as the Board shall see fit. 

  

	4	The authorised share capital of the Company at the date of the adoption of these Articles is US$253,000 divided into 750,000,000 Common Shares of a par value of US$0.000004 per share, and 250,000,000 Preference Shares
of a par value of US$0.001 per share. 

  

	5	Subject to the provisions, if any, in the Memorandum and these Articles and to any direction that may be given by the Company in a general meeting and without prejudice to any rights attached to any existing Shares, the
Board may allot, issue, grant options, rights or warrants over or otherwise dispose of any Shares (including fractions of any Share) with or without preferred, deferred, qualified or other rights or restrictions, whether in regard to dividend or
other distribution, voting, return of capital or otherwise, and to such persons at such times and on such other terms as they think proper and may also (subject to the Statute and the Articles) vary such rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Subscriber shall have the power to: 

  

	 	5.1.1	issue one Share to itself; 

  

	 	5.1.2	transfer that Share by an instrument of transfer to any person; and 

  
 4 

	 	5.1.3	update the Register of Members in respect of the issue and transfer of that Share. 

  

	6	Notwithstanding and without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Board is expressly authorised and empowered to implement or effect at its sole discretion the issuance of a preference share purchase right
to be issued on a pro rata basis to each holder of a Common Share with such terms and for such purposes, including the influencing of takeovers, as may be described in a rights agreement between the Company and a rights agent. 

 

	7	Upon approval of the Board, such number of Common Shares, or other shares or securities of the Company, as may be required for such purposes shall be reserved for issuance in connection with an option, right, warrant or
other security of the Company or any other person that is exercisable for, convertible into, exchangeable for or otherwise issuable in respect of such Common Shares or other shares or securities of the Company. 

 

	8	All Shares shall be issued fully paid as to their nominal value and any premium determined by the Board at the time of issue and shall be non-assessable. 

 

	9	The Company shall not issue Shares to bearer. 

 COMMON SHARES 

 

	10	The holders of the Common Shares shall be: 

  

	10.1	entitled to dividends or other distributions in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Articles; 

  

	10.2	entitled to and are subject to the provisions in relation to winding up of the Company provided for in the Articles; 

  

	10.3	entitled to attend general meetings of the Company and shall be entitled to one vote for each Common Share registered in his name in the Register of Members, both in accordance with the relevant provisions of the
Articles. 

  

	11	All Common Shares shall rank pari passu with each other in all respects. 

PREFERENCE SHARES 
  

	12	 Preference Shares may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of such series to have such voting powers (full or limited or without
voting powers), designations, preferences 

  
 5 

	 	
and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as are stated and expressed, or in any resolution or resolutions providing
for the issue of such series adopted by the Board as hereinafter provided. 

  

	13	Authority is hereby granted to the Board, subject to the provisions of the Memorandum, these Articles and applicable law, to create one or more series of Preference Shares and, with respect to each such series, to fix
by resolution or resolutions, without any further vote or action by the Members of the Company providing for the issue of such series: 

  

	13.1	the number of Preference Shares to constitute such series and the distinctive designation thereof; 

  

	13.2	the dividend rate on the Preference Shares of such series, the dividend payment dates, the periods in respect of which dividends are payable (“Dividend Periods”), whether such dividends shall be
cumulative and, if cumulative, the date or dates from which dividends shall accumulate; 

  

	13.3	whether the Preference Shares of such series shall be convertible into, or exchangeable for, Shares of any other class or classes or any other series of the same or any other class or classes of Shares and the
conversion price or prices or rate or rates, or the rate or rates at which such exchange may be made, with such adjustments, if any, as shall be stated and expressed or provided in such resolution or resolutions; 

 

	13.4	the preferences, if any, and the amounts thereof, which the Preference Shares of such series shall be entitled to receive upon the winding up of the Company; 

 

	13.5	the voting power, if any, of the Preference Shares of such series; 

  

	13.6	transfer restrictions and rights of first refusal with respect to the Preference Shares of such series; and 

  

	13.7	such other terms, conditions, special rights and provisions as may seem advisable to the Board. 

  

	14	Notwithstanding the fixing of the number of Preference Shares constituting a particular series upon the issuance thereof, the Board at any time thereafter may authorise the issuance of additional Preference Shares of
the same series subject always to the Statute and the Memorandum. 

  

	15	 No dividend shall be declared and set apart for payment on any series of Preference Shares in respect of any Dividend Period unless there shall
likewise be or have been paid, or declared and set apart for payment, on all Preference Shares of each other series entitled to cumulative dividends at the time outstanding which rank senior or equally as to dividends with the series in question,
dividends rateably in accordance with the sums which would be payable on the said Preference Shares through the end of the last preceding Dividend Period if all dividends were declared and paid in full.

  
 6 

	16	If, upon the winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company distributable among the holders of any one or more series of Preference Shares which (i) are entitled to a preference over the holders of the Common
Shares upon such winding up, and (ii) rank equally in connection with any such distribution, shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount to which the holders of such Preference Shares shall be entitled, then such assets, or the
proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of each such series of the Preference Shares rateably in accordance with the sums which would be payable on such distribution if all sums payable were discharged in full. 

ISSUE OF WARRANTS AND OPTIONS 
  

	17	The Board may issue warrants or options to subscribe for any class of Shares or other securities of the Company on such terms as it may from time to time determine. No warrants or options shall be issued to bearer.

 CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES 
  

	18	Unless the Board determines otherwise, every person whose name is entered as a Member in the Register of Members shall be entitled without payment to receive, within twenty days, after allotment or lodgement of transfer
(or within such other period as the conditions of issue shall provide), one certificate for all his Shares of each class or, upon payment of such reasonable fee as the Board shall prescribe, such number of certificates for Shares held as that person
may request, provided that in respect of a Share or Shares held jointly by several persons the Company shall not be bound to issue a certificate or certificates to each such person, and the issue and delivery of a certificate or certificates to one
of several joint holders shall be sufficient delivery to all such holders. 

  

	19	 Every share certificate shall specify the number of Shares in respect of which it is issued and the amount paid thereon or the fact that they are
fully paid, as the case may be, and may otherwise be in such form as shall be determined by the Board. Such certificates may be under Seal. All certificates for Shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified and shall specify the
Shares to which they relate. The name and address of the person to whom the Shares represented thereby are issued, with the number of Shares and date of issue, shall be entered in the Register of Members of the Company. All certificates surrendered
to the Company for transfer shall be cancelled and no new certificate shall be issued until the former certificate for a like number of Shares shall have been surrendered and cancelled. The Board may authorise

  
 7 

	 	
certificates to be issued with the seal and/or to be signed by such person(s) as may be authorised by the Board and may authorise certificates to be issued with the authorised signature(s)
affixed by some method or system of mechanical process. 

  

	20	If a share certificate is defaced, worn out, lost or destroyed, it may be renewed on such terms (if any) as to evidence and indemnity and on the payment of such expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in
investigating such evidence, as the Board may prescribe, and (in the case of defacement or wearing out) upon delivery of the old certificate. 

  

	21	Every share certificate sent in accordance with the Articles will be sent at the risk of the Member or other person entitled to the certificate. The Company will not be responsible for any share certificate lost or
delayed in the course of delivery. 

 REGISTER OF MEMBERS 

 

	22	The Company shall maintain or caused to be maintained a Register of its Members in accordance with the Statute. 

  

	23	If the Board considers it necessary or appropriate, the Company may establish and maintain a duplicate or branch register or registers of Members in accordance with the Statute at such location or locations within or
outside the Cayman Islands as the Board thinks fit. The Board may also determine which register of Members shall constitute the principal register and which shall constitute the duplicate or branch register or registers, and to vary such
determination from time to time. 

  

	24	The Company, or any agent(s) appointed by it to maintain the duplicate or branch Register of Members in accordance with these Articles, shall as soon as practicable and on a regular basis record or procure the recording
in the original Register of Members all transfers of Shares effected on any duplicate or branch Register of Members and shall at all times maintain the original Register of Members in such manner as to show at all times the Members for the time
being and the Shares respectively held by them, in all respects in accordance with the Statute. 

  

	25	The Company shall not be bound to register more than four persons as joint holders of any Share. If any Share shall stand in the names of two or more persons, the person first named in the Register of Members shall be
deemed the sole holder thereof as regards service of notices and, subject to the provisions of these Articles, all or any other matters connected with the Company. 

  
 8 

 TRANSFER OF SHARES 

 

	26	All transfers of Shares may be effected by an instrument of transfer in any usual or common form or in such other form, or by such other manner, as the Board may approve. All instruments of transfer must be left at the
registered office of the Company or at such other place as the Board may appoint and all such instruments of transfer shall be retained by or on behalf of the Company. 

 

	27	The instrument of transfer shall be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and by or on behalf of the transferee provided that the Board may dispense with the execution of the instrument of transfer by the
transferee in any case which it thinks fit in its discretion to do so. The instrument of transfer of any Share shall be in writing and shall be executed with a manual signature or facsimile signature (which may be machine imprinted or otherwise) by
or on behalf of the transferor and transferee provided that in the case of execution by facsimile signature by or on behalf of a transferor or transferee, the Board shall, if it so requires, have previously been provided with a list of specimen
signatures of the authorised signatories of such transferor or transferee and the Board shall be reasonably satisfied that such facsimile signature corresponds to one of those specimen signatures. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder
of a Share until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register of Members in respect thereof. 

  

	28	The Board may, in its absolute discretion, and without assigning any reason, refuse to register a transfer of any Share unless: 

  

	28.1	the instrument of transfer is lodged with the Company accompanied by the certificate for the Shares to which it relates (which shall upon registration of the transfer be cancelled) and such other evidence as the Board
may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer; 

  

	28.2	the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of Shares; 

  

	28.3	the instrument of transfer is properly stamped (in circumstances where stamping is required); 

  

	28.4	in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the number of joint holders to which the Share is to be transferred does not exceed four; and 

 

	28.5	a fee of such maximum amount as the Exchange (if any) may from time to time determine to be payable (or such lesser sum as the Board may from time to time require) is paid to the Company in respect thereof.

  

	29	 When determining whether to register the transfer of any Share, the Board shall have regard to the terms of, and any restrictions contained in, any
agreement(s) with Member(s) approved by the Board. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Articles, the Company shall register any transfer of Shares made in accordance with the terms of any agreement(s) with Member(s)

  
 9 

	 	
approved by the Board. If the Board refuses to register a transfer of any Share, it shall, within two months after the date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company, send to each of the
transferor and the transferee notice of such refusal. 

  

	30	The Company shall not be obligated to make any transfer to an infant or to a person in respect of whom an order has been made by an competent court or official on the grounds that he is or may be suffering from mental
disorder or is otherwise incapable of managing his affairs or under other legal disability. 

  

	31	Upon every transfer of Shares the certificate, if any, held by the transferor shall be given up to be cancelled, and shall forthwith be cancelled accordingly, and unless the Board determines otherwise a new certificate
shall be issued without charge to the transferee in respect of the Shares transferred to him, and if any of the Shares included in the certificate so given up shall be retained by the transferor, a new certificate in respect thereof shall be issued
to him without charge. The Company shall also retain the instrument(s) of transfer. 

 REDEMPTION, REPURCHASE AND SURRENDER
OF SHARES; TREASURY SHARES 
  

	32	Subject to the provisions of the Statute the Company may issue Shares that are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the Member or the Company. The redemption of Common Shares shall be effected in
such manner and upon such other terms as the Company may, by Special Resolution, determine before the issue of the Common Shares and the redemption of Preference Shares shall be effected in such manner as the Board may, by resolution, determine
before the issue of the Preference Shares. 

  

	33	Subject to the provisions of the Statute, the Company may purchase its own Shares (including any redeemable Shares) in such manner and on such other terms as the Board may agree with the relevant Member.

  

	34	Purchase of Common Shares listed on an Exchange. In addition to Article 33 above, the Company is authorised to purchase any Common Share listed on an Exchange in accordance with the following manner of purchase:
The maximum number of Common Shares that may be repurchased shall be equal to the number of issued Common Shares, less one Common Share; at such time; at such price and on such other terms as determined and agreed by the Board in their sole
discretion, provided, however, that (i) such repurchase transactions shall be in accordance with the relevant code, rules and regulations applicable to the listing of the Shares on the Exchange; and (ii) at the time of the
repurchase the Company is able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of its business.

	35	Purchase of Common Shares not listed on an Exchange. In addition to Article 33 and Article 34 above, the Company is authorised to purchase any Common Share not listed on an Exchange in accordance with the
following manner of purchase: the Company shall serve a repurchase notice in a form approved by the Board on the Member from whom the Common Shares are to be repurchased at least two (2) days prior to the date specified in the notice as being
the repurchase date; the price for the Common Shares being repurchased shall be such price agreed between the Board and the applicable Member; the date of repurchase shall be the date specified in the repurchase notice; and the repurchase shall be
on such other terms as specified in the repurchase notice as determined and agreed by the Board and the applicable Member in their sole discretion. 

  

	36	The purchase of any Share shall not oblige the Company to purchase any other Share other than as may be required pursuant to applicable law and any other contractual obligations of the Company. 

 

	37	The Company may make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own Shares in any manner permitted by the Statute, including out of capital. 

 

	38	The holder of the Shares being purchased shall be bound to deliver up to the Company at its registered office or such other place as the Board shall specify, the certificate(s) (if any) thereof for cancellation and
thereupon the Company shall pay to him the purchase or redemption monies or consideration in respect thereof. 

  

	39	The Board may accept the surrender for no consideration of any fully paid Share. 

  

	40	The Board may, prior to the purchase, redemption or surrender of any Share, determine that such Share shall be held as a Treasury Share. 

 

	41	The Board may determine to cancel a Treasury Share or transfer a Treasury Share on such terms as they think proper (including, without limitation, for nil consideration). 

VARIATION OF RIGHTS OF SHARES 
  

	42	 If at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes of Shares, all or any of the rights attached to any class
(unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied without the consent of the holders of the issued Shares of that class where such variation is considered by
the Board not to have a material adverse effect upon such rights; otherwise, any such variation shall be made only with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than two thirds of the issued Shares of that class, or with the sanction of a
resolution passed by a majority of not less 

  
 11 

	 	
than two thirds of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares of that class. For the avoidance of doubt, the Board reserves the right, notwithstanding that any such
variation may not have a material adverse effect, to obtain consent from the holders of Shares of the relevant class. 

  

	43	To any such meeting all the provisions of the Articles relating to general meetings shall apply mutatis mutandis, except that the necessary quorum shall be one person holding or representing by proxy at
least one third of the issued Shares of the class and that any holder of Shares of the class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll. 

  

	44	The rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any class issued with preference or other rights 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. The rights of holders of Common Shares shall not be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of Shares with preference or other rights which may be
effected by the Board as provided in these Articles without any vote or consent of the holders of Common Shares. 

COMMISSION ON SALE OF SHARES 
  

	45	The Company may in so far as the Statute permits pay a commission to any person in consideration of his subscribing or agreeing to subscribe whether absolutely or conditionally for any Shares of the Company. Such
commissions may be satisfied by the payment of cash and/or the issue of fully or partly paid-up Shares. The Company may also on any issue of Shares pay such brokerage as may be lawful. 

NON-RECOGNITION OF TRUSTS 

 

	46	The Company shall not be bound by or compelled to recognise in any way (even when notified) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share, or (except only as is otherwise provided by the Articles or
the Statute) any other rights in respect of any Share other than an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the holder. 

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES 
  

	47	In case of the death of a Member, the survivor or survivors where the deceased was a joint holder, and the legal personal representatives of the deceased where he was a sole holder, shall be the only persons recognised
by the Company as having any title to his interest in the Shares, but nothing herein contained shall release the estate of any such deceased holder from any liability in respect of any Shares which had been held by him solely or jointly with other
persons. 

  
 12 

	48	Any person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such evidence being produced as may
from time to time be required by the Board and subject as hereinafter provided, elect either to be registered himself as holder of the Share or to make such transfer of the Share to such other person nominated by him and to have such person
registered as the transferee thereof, but the Board shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by that Member before his death or bankruptcy as the case
may be. 

  

	49	If the person so becoming entitled shall elect to be registered himself as holder he shall deliver or send to the Company a notice in writing signed by him stating that he so elects. 

 

	50	A person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of the holder (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the same dividends and other
advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the registered holder of the Share, except that he shall not, before being registered as a Member in respect of the Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership
in relation to meetings of the Company provided however that the Board may at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered himself or to transfer the Share and if the notice is not complied with within ninety days
the Board may thereafter withhold payment of all dividends, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the Share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with. 

AMENDMENT OF MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION AND ALTERATION OF CAPITAL 

 

	51	The Company may by Ordinary Resolution: 

  

	 	51.1.1	increase its share capital by such sum as the resolution shall prescribe and with such rights, priorities and privileges annexed thereto, as the Company in general meeting may determine; 

 

	 	51.1.2	consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into Shares of larger amount than its existing Shares; 

  

	 	51.1.3	convert all or any of its paid-up Shares into stock, and reconvert that stock into paid-up Shares of any denomination; 

  
 13 

	 	51.1.4	by subdivision of its existing Shares or any of them divide the whole or any part of its share capital into Shares of smaller amount than is fixed by the Memorandum or into Shares without par value; and

  

	 	51.1.5	cancel any Shares that at the date of the passing of the resolution have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the Shares so cancelled.

  

	51.2	All new Shares created in accordance with the provisions of the preceding Article shall be subject to the same provisions of the Articles with reference to the payment of transfer, transmission, and otherwise as the
Shares in the original share capital. 

  

	51.3	Subject to the provisions of the Statute and the provisions of the Articles as regards the matters to be dealt with by Ordinary Resolution, the Company may by Special Resolution: 

 

	 	51.3.1	change its name, 

  

	 	51.3.2	alter or add to the Articles; 

  

	 	51.3.3	alter or add to the Memorandum with respect to any objects, powers or other matters specified therein; and 

  

	 	51.3.4	reduce its share capital and any capital redemption reserve fund. 

 REGISTERED OFFICE

  

	52	Subject to the provisions of the Statute, the Company may by resolution of the Board change the location of its registered office. The Company may, in addition to its Registered Office, maintain such other
offices or places of business as the Board determines. 

 CLOSING REGISTER OF MEMBERS OR FIXING RECORD DATE 

 

	53	For the purpose of determining Members entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of Members or any adjournment thereof, or Members entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a
determination of Members for any other proper purpose, the Board may provide that the Register of Members shall be closed for transfers for a stated period but not to exceed in any case forty (40) days. If the Register of Members shall be so
closed for the purpose of determining Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Members such Register of Members shall be so closed for at least ten (10) days immediately preceding such meeting and the record date for such
determination shall be the date of the closure of the Register of Members. 

  
 14 

	54	In lieu of, or apart from, closing the Register of Members, the Board may fix in advance a date as the record date (a) for any such determination of Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of
the Members, which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, and (b) for the purpose of determining the Members entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in
order to make a determination of Members for any other proper purpose, which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to the date of payment of such dividend or the taking of any action to which such determination of Members is
relevant. 

  

	55	If the Register of Members is not so closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Members or Members entitled to receive payment of a
dividend, the date immediately preceding the date on which notice of the meeting is deemed given under these Articles or the date on which the resolution of the Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record
date for such determination of Members. When a determination of Members entitled to vote at any meeting of Members has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof; provided, however, that the
Directors may fix a new record date of the adjourned meeting, if they think fit. 

 GENERAL MEETINGS 

 

	56	All general meetings other than annual general meetings shall be called extraordinary general meetings. 

  

	57	The Company shall, if required by the Statute, other applicable law or the relevant code, rules or regulations applicable to the listing of any Shares on the Exchange, hold a general meeting as its annual general
meeting, and shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it. The annual general meeting shall be held at such time and place as the Board shall appoint provided that the period between the date of one annual general meeting of the
Company and that of the next shall not be longer than such period as applicable law or the relevant code, rules and regulations applicable to the listing of the Shares on the Exchange permits. At these meetings the report of the Board (if any) shall
be presented. 

  

	58	The Board may whenever it thinks fit proceed to convene a general meeting of the Company. 

  
 15 

	59	General meetings of the Company (other than the annual general meeting) may be held at such place, either within or without the Cayman Islands, as determined by the Board or pursuant to a Members’
requisition. 

  

	60	A Members’ requisition is a requisition of Members holding at the date of deposit of the requisition more than thirty (30) per cent. in par value of the issued share capital of the Company which as at
that date carry the right to vote at general meetings of the Company. 

  

	61	The Members’ requisition must state the objects of the meeting and must be signed by the requisitionists and deposited at the Registered Office, and may consist of several documents in like form each signed
by one or more requisitionists. 

  

	62	If the Directors do not within twenty-one (21) days from the date of the deposit of the Members’ requisition duly proceed to convene a general meeting to be held within a further twenty-one days, the
requisitionists, or any of them representing more than one-half of the total voting rights of all the requisitionists, may themselves convene a general meeting, but any meeting so convened shall not be held after the expiration of three months after
the expiration of the said twenty-one days. 

  

	63	A general meeting convened as aforesaid by requisitionists shall be convened in the same manner as nearly as possible as that in which general meetings are to be convened by Directors. 

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETINGS 
  

	64	At least seven (7) clear days’ notice shall be given of any general meeting. Every notice shall specify such details as are required by applicable law or the relevant code, rules and regulations
applicable to the listing of the Shares on the Exchange. 

  

	65	A general meeting of the Company shall, whether or not the notice specified in this regulation has been given and whether or not the provisions of the Articles regarding general meetings have been complied with,
be deemed to have been duly convened if it is so agreed: 

  

	65.1	in the case of an annual general meeting, by all the Members entitled to attend and vote thereat or their proxies; and 

  

	65.2	in the case of an extraordinary general meeting, by such number of the Members having a right to attend and vote at the meeting, together holding not less than ninety-five per cent. in par value of the Shares in issue
that carry a right to vote or their proxies. 

  

	66	The notice convening an annual general meeting shall specify the meeting as such, and the notice convening a meeting to pass a Special Resolution shall specify the intention to propose the resolution as a Special
Resolution. Notice of every general meeting shall be given to all Members other than such as, under the provisions of the Articles or the terms of issue of the Shares they hold, are not entitled to receive such notice from the Company.

  
 16 

	67	There shall appear with reasonable prominence in every notice of general meetings of the Company a statement that a Member entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote instead of
him and that a proxy need not be a Member of the Company. 

  

	68	The accidental omission to give notice of a general meeting to, or the non-receipt of notice of a meeting by any person entitled to receive notice shall not invalidate the
proceedings of that meeting. 

  

	69	In cases where instruments of proxy are sent out with notices, the accidental omission to send such instrument of proxy to, or the non-receipt of such instrument of proxy
by, any person entitled to receive notice shall not invalidate any resolution passed or any proceeding at any such meeting. 

PROCEEDINGS AT GENERAL MEETINGS 
  

	70	No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum is present. One or more Members present in person or by proxy or if a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorised
representative or proxy holding not less than a majority of the issued Shares of the Company entitled to vote at the meeting in question shall be a quorum. Only business set out in the applicable notice may be transacted at such general meeting.

  

	71	A person may only participate at a general meeting in person or by proxy or if a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorised representative. A person may participate at a general meeting by
conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all the persons participating in the meeting can communicate with each other. Participation by a person in a general meeting in this manner is treated as presence in person at
that meeting. 

  

	72	If within one hour from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened upon a Members’ requisition, shall be dissolved and in any other case it shall stand adjourned to
the same day in the next week at the same time and place or to such other time or such other place as the Board may determine and if at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within one hour from the time appointed for the meeting to commence
the Members present shall be a quorum. 

  

	73	 In order for business to be properly brought before a general meeting by a Member, written notice thereof must have been filed with the
Secretary not less than 90 days prior the date of the meeting (or not later than the 10th day following the date of the first public announcement of the date of such meeting, whichever is later) nor more than 120 days prior to the meeting.

  
 17 

	 	
Each such notice shall set forth: (i) the name and address of the Member who intends to make the proposal as the same appear in the Company’s records, (ii) the class and number of
Shares that are owned by such Member, and (iii) a clear and concise statement of the proposal and the Member’s reasons for supporting it. The filing of a Member’s notice as required above shall not, in and of itself, constitute the
making of the proposal described therein. If the Chairman of the meeting determines that any proposed business has not been properly brought before the meeting, he shall declare such business out of order, and such business shall not be conducted at
the meeting. 

  

	74	The Chairman, if any, of the Board shall preside as Chairman at every general meeting of the Company, or if there is no such Chairman, or if he shall not be present within one hour after the time appointed for
the meeting to commence, or is unwilling to act, the Directors present shall elect one of their number to be Chairman of the meeting. 

  

	75	If at any general meeting no Director is willing to act as Chairman or if no Director is present within one hour after the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the Members present shall choose one of their
number to be Chairman of the meeting. 

  

	76	The Chairman may, with the consent of any general meeting duly constituted hereunder, and shall if so directed by the meeting, adjourn the 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. When a general meeting is adjourned for thirty days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in
the case of an original meeting; otherwise, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of an adjournment or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned general meeting. No business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the
business which might have been transacted at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. 

  

	77	At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a poll. 

  

	78	A poll shall be taken in such manner as the Chairman directs. No notice need be given of a poll not taken immediately. The result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the general meeting at which
the poll was demanded. Any other business other than that upon which a poll is to be taken or is contingent thereon may be preceded with pending the taking of the poll. 

 

	79	In the case of an equality of votes the Chairman of the general meeting at which the poll is taken shall not be entitled to a second or casting vote. 

  
 18 

 NOMINATIONS OF DIRECTORS 

 

	80	Nominations of persons for appointment to the Board (other than Directors to be nominated by any series of Preference Shares, voting separately as a class) at a general meeting may only be made (a) pursuant
to the Company’s notice of general meeting, (b) by or at the direction of the Board or any authorised committee thereof, (c) in accordance with the terms of any agreement(s) with Member(s) approved by the Board or (d) by any
Member who (i) complies with the notice procedures set forth in the following Articles, and (ii) was a Member at the time such notice is delivered to the Secretary and on the record date for the determination of Members entitled to vote at
such general meeting, provided, however, that Members shall only be entitled to nominate persons for appointment to the Board at annual general meetings or at general meetings called specifically for the purpose of appointing Directors.

  

	81	For nominations of persons for appointment to the Board (other than Directors to be nominated by any series of Preference Shares, voting separately as a class) to be properly brought before an annual general
meeting by a Member, such annual general meeting must have been called for the purpose of, among other things, appointing Directors and such Member must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary. To be timely, a Member’s
notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the Registered Office of the Company, or such other address as the Secretary may designate, not less than 90 days prior to the date of such meeting (or not later than the 10th day following the date of
the first public announcement of the date of such meeting, whichever is later) nor more than 120 days prior to such meeting. Such Member’s notice shall set forth (a) as to each person whom the Member proposes to nominate for appointment or
re-appointment as a Director, all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for appointment of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, of the United States of America, as amended, or any successor provisions thereto, including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a Director
if appointed and (b) as to the Member giving the notice (i) the name and address of such Member, as they appear on the Register of Members, (ii) the class and number of Shares that are owned beneficially and/or of record by such
Member, (iii) a representation that the Member is a registered holder of Shares entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such nomination and (iv) a statement as to whether the
Member intends or is part of a group that intends (x) to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Company’s issued Shares carrying the right to vote at general meetings required to approve
or elect the nominee for appointment and/or (y) otherwise to solicit proxies from Members in support of such nomination. The Board may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the
eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a Director of the Company, including such evidence satisfactory to the Board that such nominee has no interests that would limit such nominee’s ability to fulfil his duties as a Director.

  
 19 

	82	For nominations of persons for appointment to the Board (other than Directors to be nominated by any series of Preference Shares, voting separately as a class) to be properly brought before an extraordinary
general meeting by a Member, such Member must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary. To be timely, a Member’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the Registered Office of the Company or such other address as the
Secretary may designate, not earlier than the 120th day prior to such general meeting and not later than the 90th day prior to such general meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the
general meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board to be appointed at such meeting. Such Member’s notice shall set forth the same information as is required by provisions (a) and (b) of the above Article. 

 

	83	Unless otherwise provided by the terms of any series of Preference Shares or any agreement among Members or other agreement approved by the Board, and save in relation to any Director appointed by the Directors
pursuant to Article 99, only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth above shall be eligible to serve as Directors of the Company. If the Chairman of a general meeting determines that a proposed nomination was not made
in compliance with such Articles, he shall declare to the meeting that nomination is defective and such defective nomination shall be disregarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of the Articles, if the Member (or a qualified representative
of the Member) does not appear at the general meeting to present his nomination, such nomination shall be disregarded. 

VOTES OF MEMBERS 
  

	84	Subject to any rights or restrictions attached to any class or classes of Shares, every Member present in person or by proxy, or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorised
representative or by proxy, shall have one vote for each Share registered in his name in the Register of Members. No cumulative voting shall be allowed at any general meeting. 

 

	85	In the case of joint holders the vote of the senior holder who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy (or, in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorised representative or
proxy), shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders, and for this purpose seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names of the holders stand in the Register of Members. 

 

	86	A Member of unsound mind, or in respect of whom an order has been made by any court, having jurisdiction in lunacy, may vote by his committee, receiver, curator bonis, or other person in the nature of a
committee, receiver or curator bonis appointed by that court, and any such committee, receiver, curator bonis or other persons may vote by proxy. 

  
 20 

	87	No Member shall be entitled to vote at any general meeting unless he is registered as a Member on the record date for such meeting. 

 

	88	No objection shall be raised to the qualification of any voter except at the general meeting or adjourned general meeting at which the vote objected to is given or tendered and every vote not disallowed at such
general meeting shall be valid for all purposes. Any such objection made in due time shall be referred to the Chairman of the general meeting whose decision shall be final and conclusive. 

 

	89	Votes may be cast either personally or by proxy (or in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorised representative or proxy). A Member may appoint more than one proxy or the same
proxy under one or more instruments to attend and vote at a meeting and may appoint one proxy to vote both in favour of and against the same resolution in such proportion as specified in the instrument appointing the proxy. Where a Member appoints
more than one proxy the instrument of proxy shall specify the number of Shares in respect of which each proxy is entitled to exercise the related votes. 

  

	90	A Member holding more than one Share need not cast the votes in respect of his Shares in the same way on any resolution and therefore may vote a Share or some or all such Shares either for or against a resolution
and/or abstain from voting a Share or some or all of the Shares and, subject to the terms of the instrument appointing him, a proxy appointed under one or more instruments may vote a Share or some or all of the Shares in respect of which he is
appointed either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting a Share or some or all of the Shares in respect of which he is appointed. 

PROXIES 
  

	91	The rules and procedures relating to the form or a proxy, the depositing or filing of proxies and voting pursuant to a proxy and any other matter incidental thereto shall be approved by the Board, subject to such
rules and procedures as required by applicable law or the relevant code, rules and regulations applicable to the listing of the Shares on the Exchange and as provided in the following Articles under this heading of “PROXIES”.

  

	92	The Chairman may in any event at his discretion declare that an instrument of proxy shall be deemed to have been duly deposited. An instrument of proxy that is not deposited in the manner permitted, or which has
not been declared to have been duly deposited by the Chairman, shall be invalid. 

  

	93	 The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing and shall be executed under the hand of the appointor or of his attorney duly authorised
in writing, or, if the appointor is a corporation or other non-natural person, under the hand of its duly authorised person provided however, that a Member may also authorise the casting of a vote by proxy pursuant to telephonic or

  
 21 

	 	
electronically transmitted instructions (including, without limitation, instructions transmitted over the internet) obtained pursuant to procedures approved by the Board which are reasonably
designed to verify that such instructions have been authorised by such Member. A proxy need not be a Member. 

  

	94	The instrument appointing a proxy may be in any usual or common form and may be expressed to be for a particular meeting or any adjournment thereof or generally until revoked. An instrument appointing a proxy
shall be deemed to include the power to demand or join or concur in demanding a poll. 

 CORPORATE MEMBERS 

 

	95	Any corporation or other non-natural person which is a Member may in accordance with its constitutional documents, or in the absence of such provision 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 Company or of 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 the corporation could exercise if it were an individual Member. 

 SHARES THAT MAY NOT BE VOTED 

 

	96	Shares in the Company that are beneficially owned by the Company shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding Shares at any
given time. 

 DIRECTORS 
  

	97	 Unless otherwise determined by a Special Resolution, there shall be a Board consisting of not less than one or more than fifteen persons
(exclusive of alternate Directors) provided however that the Board may from time to time increase or reduce the upper and lower limits on the number of Directors and provided that so long as Shares of the Company are listed on an Exchange, the Board
shall include such number (if any) of Independent Directors as the relevant code, rules or regulations applicable to the listing of any Shares on the Exchange require. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Board has increased or reduced the upper or
lower limits on the 

  
 22 

	 	
number of Directors pursuant to this Article, any subsequent increase or reduction to such increased or reduced number shall require a Special Resolution or a further resolution of the Board, as
the case may be. 

 APPOINTMENT OF DIRECTORS 
  

	98	The Company may by Ordinary Resolution appoint any person to be a Director. Up to six Directors may be appointed in accordance with the terms of any agreement(s) with Member(s) approved by the Board.

  

	99	The Directors may appoint any person to be a Director, either to fill a vacancy (including, without limitation, a vacancy caused by an increase in the size of the Board or the death, resignation, removal or
vacation of office of a Director), or as an additional Director, provided that the appointment does not cause the number of Directors to exceed any number fixed by or in accordance with the Articles as the maximum number of Directors.

  

	100	Each Director (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Director appointed prior to the date of adoption of these Articles) shall be appointed for a term expiring at the next-following annual general meeting of
the Company. At any such annual general meeting, Directors will be elected by Ordinary Resolution. At each annual general meeting of the Company, each Director elected at such meeting shall be elected to hold office for a one-year term expiring at
(i) the next-following annual general meeting, or (ii) their earlier resignation, removal or vacation of office. Each Director whose term expires at an annual general meeting shall be entitled to be re-nominated as a Director in accordance
with the provisions of the Articles under the heading “NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS”. 

 REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS

  

	101	The Company may by Special Resolution remove any Director. Any Director appointed by or on behalf of a Member in accordance with the terms of any agreement(s) with Member(s) approved by the Board may be removed
by the Member who appointed such Director in accordance with the terms of such agreement(s). 

 VACATION OF OFFICE OF
DIRECTOR 
  

	102	The office of a Director shall be vacated if: 

  

	102.1	the Director gives notice in writing to the Company that he resigns the office of Director; 

  
 23 

	102.2	the Director absents himself (for the avoidance of doubt, without being represented by a proxy or alternate Director appointed by him) from three consecutive meetings of the Board without special leave of absence from
the Directors, and the Directors pass a resolution that he has by reason of such absence vacated office; 

  

	102.3	the Director dies, becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors generally; 

  

	102.4	the Director is found a lunatic or becomes of unsound mind; 

  

	102.5	all of the other Directors (being not less than two in number) determine that he should be removed as a Director, either by a resolution passed by all of the other Directors at a meeting of the Directors duly convened
and held in accordance with the Articles or by a resolution in writing signed by all of the other Directors; or

the general nature of the business to be considered unless notice is waived by all the Directors (or their alternates) either at, before or after the meeting is held and provided further if notice is given in person, by telephone, cable, telex,
telecopy or email the same shall be deemed to have been given on the day it is delivered to the Directors or transmitting organisation as the case may be.

less than one-third (1/3) of the total number of Directors, provided always that if there shall at any time be only a sole Director the quorum shall be one. A person who holds office as an alternate Director shall, if his appointor is not
present, be counted in the quorum. A Director who also acts as an alternate Director shall, if his appointor is not present, count twice towards the quorum. 

  

	135	The continuing Directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body, but if and so long as their number is reduced below the number fixed by or pursuant to these Articles as the necessary quorum of
Directors the continuing Directors or Director may act for the purpose of increasing the number of Directors to that number, or of summoning a general meeting of the Company, but for no other purpose. 

 

	136	The Directors may elect a chairman of their Board and determine the period for which he is to hold office; but if no such chairman is elected, or if at any meeting the Chairman is not present within five
(5) minutes after the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the Directors present may choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting. 

  

	137	All acts done by any meeting of the Directors or of a committee of Directors (including any person acting as an alternate Director) shall, notwithstanding that it be afterwards discovered that there was some
defect in the appointment of any Director or alternate Director and/or that they or any of them were disqualified, be as valid as if every such person had been duly appointed and qualified to be a Director or alternate Director as the case may be.

  

	138	Members of the Board or of any committee thereof may participate in a meeting of the Board or of such committee 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 provision shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. Unless otherwise determined by the Directors the meeting shall be deemed to be held at
the place where the chairman is located at the start of the meeting. 

  

	139	A resolution in writing (in one or more counterparts), signed by all the Directors or all the members of a committee of the Directors or, in the case of a resolution in writing relating to the removal of any
Director or the vacation of office by any Director, all of the Directors other than the Director who is the subject of such resolution (an alternate Director being entitled to sign such a resolution on behalf of his appointor and if such alternate
Director is also a Director, being entitled to sign such resolution both on behalf of his appointer and in his capacity as a Director) shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of the Directors or committee of the
Directors as the case may be, duly convened and held. 

  
 35 

	140	A Director but not an alternate Director may be represented at any meetings of the board of Directors by a proxy appointed in writing by him. The proxy shall count towards the quorum and the vote of the proxy
shall for all purposes be deemed to be that of the appointing Director. 

 PRESUMPTION OF ASSENT 

 

	141	A Director or alternate Director who is present at a meeting of the Board at which action on any Company matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless his dissent shall be entered
in the Minutes of the meeting or unless he shall file his written dissent from such action with the person acting as the chairman or secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall forward such dissent by registered mail to such
person immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a Director or alternate Director who voted in favour of such action. 

SEAL 
  

	142	The Company may, if the Board so determines, have a Seal. The Seal shall only be used by the authority of the Board or of a committee of the Board authorised by the Board. Every instrument to which the Seal has
been affixed shall be signed by at least one person who shall be either a Director or the Secretary or Secretary-Treasurer or some other officer of the Company or other person appointed by the Directors for
the purpose. 

  

	143	The Company may have for use in any place or places outside the Cayman Islands a duplicate Seal or Seals each of which shall be a facsimile of the common Seal of the Company and, if the Board so determines, with
the addition on its face of the name of every place where it is to be used. 

  

	144	A Director, Secretary or other officer or representative or attorney of the Company may without further authority of the Directors affix the Seal over his signature alone to any document of the Company required
to be authenticated by him under seal or to be filed with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere wheresoever.

	145	Subject to the Statute and these Articles and except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, the Board may from time to time declare or resolve to pay dividends and other distributions on
Shares in issue and authorise payment of the dividends or other distributions out of the funds of the Company lawfully available therefor. 

  

	146	A dividend shall be deemed to be an interim dividend unless the terms of the resolution pursuant to which the Board resolves to pay such dividend specifically state that such dividend shall be a final dividend.

  

	147	The Board may, before declaring or resolving to pay any dividends or other distributions, set aside such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall at the discretion of the Directors, be
applicable for any purpose of the Company and pending such application may, at the like discretion, be employed in the business of the Company. 

  

	148	No dividend or other distribution shall be payable except out of the realised or unrealised profits of the Company, out of the share premium account or as otherwise permitted by the Statute. 

 

	149	Subject to the rights of persons, if any, entitled to Shares with special rights as to dividends or other distributions, if dividends or other distributions are to be declared on a class of Shares they shall be
declared and paid according to the amounts paid or credited as paid on the Shares of such class outstanding on the record date for such dividend or distribution as determined in accordance with these Articles. 

 

	150	The Board may declare or resolve that any dividend or other distribution be paid wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets and in particular (but without limitation) by the distribution of paid up
shares, debentures, or debenture stock of any other company or in any one or more of such ways and where any difficulty arises in regard to such distribution, the Board may settle the same as they think expedient and in particular may issue
fractional Shares or certificates and may fix the value for distribution of such specific assets or any part thereof and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Members upon the basis of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights
of all Members and may vest any such specific assets in trustees as may seem expedient to the Board. 

  

	151	Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, dividends and other distributions may be paid in any currency. The Board may determine the basis of conversion for any currency conversions that
may be required and how any costs involved are to be met. 

  

	152	Any dividend, other distribution, interest or other monies payable in cash in respect of Shares may be paid by cheque or warrant sent through the post or sent by any electronic or other means of payment, directed
to the registered address of the holder or, in the case of joint holders, to the holder who is first named on the Register of Members or to such person and to such address as such holder or joint holders may in writing direct. Every such cheque or
warrant or electronic or other payment shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent. Any one of two or more joint holders may give effectual receipts for any dividends, bonuses, or other monies payable in respect of the Share
held by them as joint holders. 

  
 37 

	153	No dividend or other distribution shall bear interest against the Company. 

  

	154	Any dividend or other distribution which cannot be paid to a Member and/or which remains unclaimed after six months from the date on which such dividend or other distribution becomes payable may, in the
discretion of the Directors, be paid into a separate account in the Company’s name, provided that the Company shall not be constituted as a trustee in respect of that account and the dividend or other distribution shall remain as a debt due to
the Member. Any dividend or other distribution which remains unclaimed after a period of six years from the date of declaration of such dividend or other distribution shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company. Any Member may by an
instrument in writing delivered to the Company waive or forfeit the right to receive any dividend or distribution. Any dividend or distribution in respect of which such an instrument in writing has been delivered to the Company by or on behalf of a
Member shall be waived and/or forfeited by such Member and shall revert to the Company. 

 CAPITALISATION 

 

	155	The Board may at any time capitalise any sum standing to the credit of any of the Company’s reserve accounts or funds (including share premium account and capital redemption reserve fund) or any sum standing
to the credit of profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution and to appropriate such sum to Members in the proportions in which such sum would have been divisible amongst such Members had the same been a distribution of profits
by way of dividend or other distribution and to apply such sum on their behalf in paying up in full unissued Shares for allotment and distribution credited as fully paid up to and amongst them in the proportion aforesaid. In such event the Board
shall do all acts and things required to give effect to such capitalisation, with full power given to the Board to make such provisions as they think fit for the case of Shares becoming distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby the
benefit of fractional entitlements accrue to the Company rather than to the Members concerned). The Board may authorise any person to enter on behalf of all of the Members interested into an agreement with the Company providing for such
capitalisation and matters incidental thereto and any agreement made under such authority shall be effective and binding on all such Members and the Company. 

  
 38 

 BOOKS OF ACCOUNT 
  

	156	The Board shall cause proper books of account (including, where applicable, material underlying documentation including contracts and invoices) to be kept with respect to all sums of money received and
expended by the Company and the matters in respect of which the receipt or expenditure takes place, all sales and purchases of goods by the Company and the assets and liabilities of the Company. Such books of account must be retained for a minimum
period of five years from the date on which they are prepared . Proper books shall not be deemed to be kept if there are not kept such books of account as are necessary to give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs and to
explain its transactions. 

  

	157	The Board shall determine whether and to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and books of the Company or any of them shall be open to the inspection of
Members not being Directors and no Member (not being a Director) shall have any right of inspecting any account or book or document of the Company except as conferred by Statute or authorised by the Board or by the Company in general meeting.

  

	158	The Board may from time to time cause to be prepared and to be laid before the Company in general meeting profit and loss accounts, balance sheets, group accounts (if any) and such other reports and accounts as
may be required by law. 

 AUDIT 
  

	159	The appointment of and provisions relating to Auditors shall be in accordance with applicable law and the relevant code, rules and regulations applicable to the listing of the Shares on the Exchange.

  

	160	In the event that no such code, rules and regulations referred to in the above Article apply, the appointment of and provisions relating to Auditors shall in accordance with the following provisions:

  

	160.1	The Board may appoint an Auditor who shall hold office until removed from office by a resolution of the Board, on such terms as the Board determines and the Board may fix his or their remuneration. 

 

	160.2	Every Auditor shall have a right of access at all times to the books and accounts and vouchers of the Company and shall be entitled to require from the Directors and officers of the Company such information and
explanation as may be necessary for the performance of the duties of the Auditor. 

  

	160.3	Auditors shall, if so required by the Directors, make a report on the accounts of the Company during their tenure of office at the next annual general meeting following their appointment and at any other time during
their term of office, upon request of the Directors or any general meeting of the Members. 

  
 39 

 NOTICES 
  

	161	Notices shall be in writing and shall be given by the Company in accordance with applicable law and the relevant code, rules and regulations applicable to the listing of the Shares on the Exchange.

  

	162	In the event that no such code, rules and regulations referred to in the above Article applies, notice shall be given in accordance with the following provisions: 

 

	162.1	notices shall be in witting and may be given by the Company to any Member either personally or by sending it by courier, post, cable, telex, fax or e-mail to him or to his address as shown in the Register of Members (or
where the notice is given by e-mail by sending it to the e-mail address provided by such Member). Any notice, if posted from one country to another, is to be sent by airmail; 

 

	162.2	where a notice is sent by courier, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by delivery of the notice to a courier company, and shall be deemed to have been received on the third day (not including Saturdays
or Sundays or public holidays) following the day on which the notice was delivered to the courier. Where a notice is sent by post, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing,
pre-paying and posting a letter containing the notice, and shall be deemed to have been received on the fifth day (not including Saturdays or Sundays or public holidays) following the day on which the notice
was posted. Where a notice is sent by cable, telex or fax, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing and sending such notice and shall be deemed to have been received on the same day that it was transmitted. Where a
notice is given by e-mail service shall be deemed to be effected by transmitting the e-mail to the e-mail address provided by the intended recipient and shall be deemed to have been received on the same day that it was sent, and it shall not be
necessary for the receipt of the e-mail to be acknowledged by the recipient; 

  

	162.3	a notice may be given by the Company to the person or persons which the Company has been advised are entitled to a Share or Shares in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Member in the same manner as other
notices which are required to be given under these Articles and shall be addressed to them by name, or by the title of representatives of the deceased, or trustee of the bankrupt, or by any like description at the address supplied for that purpose
by the persons claiming to be so entitled, or at the option of the Company by giving the notice in any manner in which the same might have been given if the death or bankruptcy had not occurred; 

  
 40 

	162.4	notice of every general meeting shall be given in any manner authorised by the Articles to every person shown as a Member in the Register of Members on the record date for such meeting except that in the case of joint
holders the notice shall be sufficient if given to the joint holder first named in the Register of Members and every person upon whom the ownership of a Share devolves by reason of his being a legal personal representative or a trustee in bankruptcy
of a Member where the Member but for his death or bankruptcy would be entitled to receive notice of general meetings, and no other person shall be entitled to receive notices of general meetings. 

WINDING UP 
  

	162.5	If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator shall apply the assets of the Company in satisfaction of creditors’ claims in such manner and order as such liquidator thinks fit. Subject to the rights attaching to
any Shares, in a winding up: 

  

	 	162.5.1	if the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be insufficient to repay the whole of the Company’s issued share capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses
shall be borne by the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them; or 

  

	 	162.5.2	if the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the Company’s issued share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be
distributed amongst the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up subject to a deduction from those Shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to the Company
for unpaid calls or otherwise. 

  

	163	If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator may, subject to the rights attaching to any Shares and with the sanction of a Special Resolution of the Company and any other sanction required by the Statute,
divide amongst the Members in kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether such assets shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may for that purpose value any assets and determine how the division shall be carried
out as between the Members or different classes of Members. The liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the Members as the liquidator, with the like sanction,
shall think fit, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any asset upon which there is a liability. 

  
 41 

 INDEMNITY 
  

	164	To the fullest extent permitted by law, no Director, officer of the Company or trustee acting in relation to any of the affairs of the Company shall be personally liable to the Company or its Members for any loss
arising or liability attaching to such Director or officer by virtue of any rule of law in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which such Director or officer may be guilty in relation to the Company; provided,
however, that this shall not apply to (a) any fraud or dishonesty of such Director or officer, (b) such Director’s or officer’s conscious, intentional or wilful breach of his obligation to act honestly, lawfully and in good faith
with a view to the best interests of the Company, or (c) any claims or rights of action to recover any gain, personal profit, or other advantage to which the Director or officer is not legally entitled. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
this section shall not extend to any matter that would render it void pursuant to the Statute or to any person holding the office of auditor in relation to the Company. 

 

	165	To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify any current or former Director, officer of the Company, or any person who is serving or has served at the request of the Company as a director
or officer and any trustee acting in relation to any of the affairs of the Company and their respective heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives (each individually, a “Covered Person”), against any expenses,
including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than a proceeding by, or in the name or on behalf of, the Company), to which he was, is, or is threatened to be made, a party or in which he is otherwise involved, (a “proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he
is or was a Covered Person; provided, however, that this provision shall not indemnify any Covered Person against any liability arising out of (a) any fraud or dishonesty in the performance of such Covered Person’s duty to the Company, or
(b) such Covered Person’s conscious, intentional or wilful breach of his obligation to act honestly, lawfully and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company; or (c) any claims or rights of action to recover any
gain, personal profit, or other advantage to which the Covered Person is not legally entitled . Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, this section shall not extend to any matter which would render it void pursuant to the Statute, applicable law or
to any person holding the office of auditor in relation to the Company. 

  

	166	 In the case of any threatened, pending or completed proceeding by, or in the name or on behalf of, the Company, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, the Company shall indemnify each Covered Person against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, but excluding judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defence or
settlement thereof, except that no indemnification for expenses shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such Covered Person shall have been finally adjudged to be liable for fraud or dishonesty in the performance of his
duty to the Company, or for conscious, intentional or wilful breach of his obligation to act honestly, lawfully and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company, unless and only to the extent that the

  
 42 

	 	
Grand Court in the Cayman Islands or the court in which such proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such Covered Person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court shall deem proper. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, this section shall not extend to any matter that would render it
void pursuant to the Statute or to any person holding the office of auditor in relation to the Company. 

  

	167	To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by a Covered Person in defending any proceeding for which indemnification is permitted pursuant to these Articles shall
be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding upon receipt by the Board of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be
indemnified by the Company pursuant to these Articles. 

  

	168	Any indemnification pursuant to these Articles (unless ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction) shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification
of the Covered Person is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in these Articles, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a Covered Person who is a Director
or officer of the Company at the time of such determination, (a) by a majority vote of the Directors who are not parties to such proceeding, even though less than a quorum; (b) by a committee of such Directors designated by a majority vote
of such Directors, even though less than a quorum; (c) if there are no such Directors, or if such Directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or otherwise in accordance with any applicable agreement with a Covered
Person; or (d) by the Members by Ordinary Resolution. Such determination shall be made, with respect to any other Covered Person, by any person or persons having the authority to act on the matter on behalf of the Company. To the extent,
however, that any Covered Person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defence of any proceeding, or in defence of any claim, issue or matter therein, such Covered Person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case. Notwithstanding the any provision of these Articles relating to indemnification, the Company shall be
required to indemnify or advance expenses to a Covered Person in connection a proceeding commenced by such Covered Person only if the commencement of such proceeding by such person was authorized by the Board. 

 

	169	 It being the policy of the Company that indemnification of the persons specified in these Articles shall be made to the fullest extent
permitted by law, the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for by these Articles shall not be deemed exclusive (a) of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under these
Articles, any agreement with a Covered Person, any insurance purchased by the Company, vote of Members or disinterested Directors, or pursuant to the direction (however embodied) of any

  
 43 

	 	
court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, or (b) of the power of the Company
to indemnify any person who is or was an employee or agent of the Company or of another corporation, joint venture, trust or other enterprise which he is serving or has served at the request of the Company, to the same extent and in the same
situations and subject to the same determinations as are hereinabove set forth with respect to a Covered Person. 

  

	170	The Board may, notwithstanding any interest of the Directors in such action, authorize the Company to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Covered Person, against any liability asserted against him
and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of these Articles. As used in these Articles relating to
indemnification, references to the “Company” include all constituent corporations in an amalgamation, consolidation or merger or similar arrangement in which the Company or a predecessor to the Company by amalgamation, consolidation
or merger or similar arrangement was involved. 

 FINANCIAL YEAR 

 

	171	Unless the Board otherwise prescribes, the financial year of the Company shall end on 31st December in each year and, following the year of incorporation, shall begin on 1st January in each year.

 TRANSFER BY WAY OF CONTINUATION 
  

	172	If the Company is exempted as defined in the Statute, it shall, subject to the provisions of the Statute and with the approval of a Special Resolution, have the power to register by way of continuation as a body
corporate under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands and to be deregistered in the Cayman Islands. 

MERGERS AND CONSOLIDATIONS 
  

	173	The Company shall, with the approval of a Special Resolution, have the power to merge or consolidate with one or more constituent companies (as defined in the Statute), upon such terms as the Directors may
determine.
