(1) Subject to the provisions of the Act and the Securities Transfer Act, the transfer of a share may only be registered in the Company’s securities register upon:

(a) presentation of the certificate representing such share with an endorsement, which complies with the Securities Transfer Act, made on the certificate or delivered with the certificate, duly executed by an appropriate person as provided by the Securities Transfer Act, together with reasonable assurance that the endorsement is genuine and effective, upon payment of all applicable taxes and in any reasonable fees prescribed by the Board; or

(b) in the case of shares electronically issued without a certificate, upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered holder of the shares, a duly authorized attorney of the registered owner of the shares or an individual presenting proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to the transfer of the shares.

(2) The signature of the registered owner of any shares, or of his duly authorized attorney, upon an authorized instrument of transfer shall constitute a complete and sufficient authority to the Company, its Directors, Officers and agents to register, in the name of the transferee as named in the instrument of transfer, the number of shares specified therein or, if no number is specified, all the shares of the registered owner represented by share certificates deposited with the instrument of transfer. If no transferee is named in the instrument of transfer, the instrument of transfer shall constitute a complete and sufficient authority to the Company, its Directors, Officers and agents to register, in the name of the person on whose behalf any certificate for the shares to be transferred is deposited with the Company for the purpose of having the transfer registered, the number of shares specified in the instrument of transfer or, if no number is specified, all the shares represented by all share certificates deposited with the instrument of transfer.

(3) Neither the Company nor any Director, Officer or agent thereof shall be bound to inquire into the title of the person named in the form of transfer as transferee, or, if no person is named therein as transferee, of the person on whose behalf the certificate is deposited with the Company for the purpose of having the transfer registered or be liable to any claim by such registered owner or by any intermediate owner or holder of the certificate or of any of the shares represented thereby or any interest therein for registering the transfer, and the transfer, when registered, shall confer upon the person in whose name the shares have been registered a valid title to such shares.

(4) Every instrument of transfer shall be executed by the transferor and left at the registered office of the Company or at the office of its transfer agent or branch transfer agent or registrar for registration together with the share certificate for the shares to be transferred and such other evidence, if any, as the Directors or the transfer agent or branch transfer agent or registrar or branch registrar may require to prove the title of the transferor or his right to transfer the shares and the right of the

- 13 -

transferee to have the transfer registered. All instruments of transfer where the transfer is registered shall be retained by the Company or its transfer agent or branch transfer agent or registrar or branch registrar and any instrument of transfer, where the transfer is not registered, shall be returned to the person depositing the same together with the share certificate which accompanied the same when tendered for registration.

There shall be paid to the Company in respect of the registration of any transfer such sum, if any, as the Directors may from time to time determine.

Section 8.6 Non-Recognition of Trusts

Subject to the provisions of the Act, the Company shall treat as absolute owner of the share the person in whose name the share is registered in the securities register as if that person had full legal capacity and authority to exercise all rights of ownership, irrespective of any indication to the contrary through knowledge or notice or description in the Company’s records or on the share certificate.

Section 8.7 Share Certificates

The shares of the Company shall be represented by certificates or, where allowed for or required by applicable law, shall be electronically issued without a certificate.

Any certificate shall be signed in accordance with the Act and these Articles and need not be under common seal. Certificates may be manually countersigned by at least one director or officer of the Company or by or on behalf of a registrar or transfer agent of the Company. Subject to the provisions of the Act, the signature of any signing director, officer, transfer agent or registrar may be printed or mechanically reproduced on the certificate. Every printed or mechanically reproduced signature is deemed to be the signature of the person whose signature it reproduces and is binding on the Company. A certificate executed as set out in this section is valid even if a director or officer whose printed or mechanically reproduced signature appears on the certificate no longer holds office as of the date of the issue of the certificate.

Section 8.8 Replacement of Share Certificates

The Board or any Officer or agent designated by the Board may in its or his discretion direct the issue of a new share certificate in lieu of and upon cancellation of a share certificate that has been mutilated or in substitution for a share certificate claimed to have been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken or which does not comply as to form with the requirements from time to time of the Act in this regard, on payment of such fee as the Board may direct and on such terms as to indemnity, reimbursement of expenses and evidence of loss and of title as the Board may from time to time prescribe, whether generally or in any particular case.

Section 8.9 Joint Shareholders

If two or more persons are registered as joint holders of any share, the Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate in respect thereof, and delivery of such certificate to one of such persons shall be sufficient delivery to all of them.

Joint Shareholders may collectively designate in writing an address as their recorded address for service of notice and payment of dividends, but in default of such designation the address of the first named joint Shareholder shall be deemed to be the recorded address aforesaid.

Section 8.10 Deceased Shareholders

In the event of the death of a holder, or of one of the joint holders, of any share, the Company shall not be required to make any entry in the securities register in respect thereof or to make payment of any dividends thereon except upon production of all such documents as may be required by law and upon compliance with the reasonable requirements of the Company and its transfer agents.
