The Directors may accept a surrender of any share liable to be forfeited hereunder. 36. NOTICE OF FORFEITURE TO BE GIVEN AND ENTERED IN REGISTER OF MEMBERS When any share has been forfeited in accordance with these Articles, notice of the forfeiture shall forthwith be given to the holder of the share or to the person entitled to the share by transmission, as the case may be, and an entry of such notice having been given, and of the forfeiture with the date thereof, shall forthwith be made in the register of members opposite to the share; but the provisions of this Article are directory only, and no forfeiture shall be in any manner invalidated by any omission or neglect to give such notice or to make such entry as aforesaid. 37.

FORMER HOLDER OF FORFEITED OR SURRENDERED SHARES LIABLE FOR CALL MADE BEFORE FORFEITURE OR SURRENDER A Member whose shares have been forfeited or surrendered shall, notwithstanding the forfeiture or surrender, remain liable to pay to the Company all calls, instalments and expenses owing upon or in respect of such shares at the time of forfeiture or surrender, and interest thereon to the date of payment at the rate of ten per cent per annum (or such lower rate as the Directors may approve), in the same manner in all respects as if the shares had not been forfeited or surrendered, and to satisfy all (if any) the claims and demands which the Company might have enforced in respect of the shares at the time of forfeiture or surrender, without any deduction or allowance for the value of the shares at the time of forfeiture or surrender. 40. CONSEQUENCES OF FORFEITURE OR SURRENDER The forfeiture or surrender of a share shall involve the extinction at the time of forfeiture or surrender of all interest in and all claims and demands against the Company in respect of the share, and all other rights and liabilities incidental to the share as between the Member whose share is forfeited or surrendered and the Company, except only such of those rights and liabilities as are by these Articles expressly saved, or as are by the Act given or imposed in the case of past Members. 41 . TITLE TO FORFEITED OR SURRENDERED SHARES A statutory declaration in writing that the declarant is a Director of the Company, and that a share has been duly forfeited or surrendered in pursuance of these Articles, and stating the date upon which it was forfeited or surrendered, shall, as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the share adversely to the forfeiture or surrender thereof, be conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated, and such declaration, together with the receipt of the Company for the consideration (if any) given for the share on the sale or disposition thereof, and a certificate of proprietorship of the share under the Seal delivered to the person to whom the same is sold or disposed of, shall constitute a good title to the share, and (subject to the execution of any necessary transfer) such person shall be registered as the holder of the share and shall be discharged from all calls made prior to such sale or disposition, and shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money (if any), nor shall his title to the share be affected by any act, omission or irregularity relating to or connected with the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture or surrender, sale, re-allotment or disposal of the share. The remedy of any person aggrieved by the sale shall be in damages only and against the Company exclusively. CONVERSION OF SHARES INTO STOCK 42.

TRANSFER OF STOCK When any shares have been converted into stock, the several holders of such stock may transfer their respective interests therein, or any part of such interests, in such manner as the Company in General Meeting shall direct, but in default of any such direction in the same manner and subject to the same regulations as and subject to which the shares from which the stock arose might previously to conversion have been transferred, or as near thereto as circumstances will admit. But the Directors may, if they think fit, from time to time fix the minimum amount of stock transferable, and restrict or forbid the transfer of fractions of that minimum. 44. RIGHTS OF STOCKHOLDERS The holders of stock shall be entitled to participate in the dividends and profits of the Company according to the amount of their respective interests in such stock, and such interests shall, in proportion to the amount thereof, confer on the holders thereof respectively the same privileges and advantages for the purpose of voting at meetings of the Company and for other purposes as if they held the shares from which the stock arose, but so that none of such privileges or advantages, except the participation in the |
Page 8 dividends, profits and assets of the Company, shall be conferred by any holding or part of a holding of stock as would not if existing in shares, have conferred such privileges or advantages. 45. INTERPRETATION All such provisions of these Articles as are applicable to paid-up shares shall apply to stock, and in all such provisions the words "share" and "shareholder" or similar expressions herein shall include "stock" and "stockholder".

NEW SHARES Unless otherwise determined by the Company in General Meeting, the Directors may subject to the Act and these Articles, dispose of any new shares from time to time to be created in such manner as they think most beneficial to the Company. 50. NEW SHARES TO BE ORDINARY CAPITAL UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED Except so far as otherwise provided by or pursuant to these Articles or by the conditions of issue, any new share capital shall be considered as part of the original share capital of the Company, and shall be subject to the same provisions with reference to the payment of calls, lien, transfer, transmission, forfeiture, and otherwise as the original share capital. |
Page 9 MODIFICATION OF CLASS RIGHTS 51 . VARIATION OF RIGHTS Subject to the provisions of the Act, all or any of the rights, privileges or conditions for the time being attached or belonging to any class of shares for the time being forming part of the capital of the Company may from time to time be modified, varied, extended or surrendered in any manner with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than three-fourths of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of a Special Resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of that class. To any such separate meeting all the provisions of these Articles as to General Meetings of the Company shall mutatis mutandis apply, but so that the necessary quorum shall be holders of the class holding or representing by proxy one-third of the capital paid or credited as paid on the issued shares of the class and every holder of shares of the class in question shall be entitled on a poll to one vote for every such share held by him. Provided that if at any adjourned meeting of the holders of such class a quorum as above defined is not present those holders who are present shall form a quorum. GENERAL MEETINGS 52.

The Annual General Meeting shall be held at such time and place as the Directors shall appoint. (B) Subject to the provisions of the Act the Company shall dispense with the holding of Annual General Meetings if a resolution is passed to that effect at an Extraordinary General Meeting by all of such Members as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy present at such a meeting. The resolution to dispense with the holding of Annual General Meetings shall not be effective if at the time of the passing of the resolution the liability to hold the Annual General Meeting has already been incurred, but otherwise shall be valid for the year in which it is passed and for subsequent years. (C) Notwithstanding that a resolution dispensing with Annual General Meetings is in force, an Annual General Meeting shall be convened and held by the Company as far as practically possible within the timelines provided in the Act and in such manner as provided in these Articles, upon the occurrence of any of the following events (whichever is the earliest): (a) If any Member of the Company shall by notice to the Company, sent not later than 3 months before the end of the financial year for which the Annual General Meeting should be convened but for the said resolution; or (b) If any Member or Members representing at least 5% of the total voting rights of all Members having the right to vote on a resolution at a general meeting of the Company shall within 7 days after the text of a resolution to be passed by written means relating to 3 matters routinely dealt with at or to be done in relation to an Annual General Meeting of the Company, has been sent to such Member or Members, shall notify the Company to hold a general meeting for that resolution; or (c) If any Member or the Auditors (if any) shall by notice to the Company not later than 28 days from the date the accounts, balance-sheets, and the report of the Directors and the report, if any, of the Auditors and other documents required to be annexed to the balance sheet (collectively "the accounts"), are sent out to all persons entitled to receive notice of general meetings of the Company, require the holding of a general meeting for the purpose of laying out the accounts before the Company. Except as provided in this Article 52, any notice to the Company shall be signed under the hand of the Member or the Auditors (if any) and the original notice (or a facsimile transmission followed by the original sent by post within 24 hours; failing which, the Company may reject the facsimile and be deemed to have received the notice only upon actual receipt of the original) sent to the Office or to such address as may be specified by the Company for that purpose. A notice to the Company may be made by way of other means of electronic communication and in all cases, subject to all such security and identification procedures as required by the Company. |

The accidental omission to give such notice to, or the non-receipt of such notice by, any such person shall not invalidate any resolution passed or proceeding had at any such meeting. PROCEEDINGS AT GENERAL MEETINGS 56. SPECIAL BUSINESS All business shall be deemed special that is transacted at any Extraordinary General Meeting, and all that is transacted at an Annual General Meeting shall also be deemed special, with the exception of sanctioning a dividend, the consideration of the accounts and balance sheet and the reports of the Directors and Auditors, and any other documents required to be annexed to the balance sheet, the re-election of directors pursuant to Article 78, the fixing of the Directors' remuneration and the appointment and fixing of the remuneration of the Auditors or determining the manner in which such remuneration is to be fixed. 57. NO BUSINESS TO BE TRANSACTED UNLESS QUORUM PRESENT No business shall be transacted at any General Meeting unless a quorum is present.

A quorum shall be deemed to constitute a Meeting and, if applicable, the provisions of the Act shall apply. For the purpose of this Article, "Member" includes a person attending by proxy or by attorney or as representing a corporation which is a Member. 58. IF QUORUM NOT PRESENT MEETING ADJOURNED OR DISSOLVED If within half an hour from the time appointed for the holding of a General Meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened on the requisition of Members, shall be dissolved. In any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and place, and if at such adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for holding the meeting, the Member or Members present (including a person attending as a proxy or as attorney or as representing a corporation which is a Member) shall be a quorum. |

APPLICATION OF PROFITS Subject to any preferential or other special rights for the time being attached to any special class of shares, the profits of the Company which it shall from time to time be determined to distribute by way of dividend among the Members shall be applied in payment of dividends upon the shares of the Company in proportion to the amounts paid-up or credited as paid-up thereon respectively, otherwise than in advance of calls. 112. DEDUCTION FROM DIVIDEND The Directors may deduct from any dividend payable to any Member all sums of money (if any) presently payable by him to the Company on account of calls or otherwise in relation to the shares of the Company. 113. DECLARATION OF DIVIDENDS The Directors may, with the sanction of a General Meeting from time to time declare dividends to the Members according to their rights and interests in the profits, but no such dividend shall carry interest or be payable except out of the profits of the Company. The Directors may, if they think fit, from time to time declare and pay to the Members such interim dividends as appear to them to be justified by the position of the Company, and may also from time to time, if in their opinion such payment is so justified, pay any preferential dividends which by the terms of issue of any shares are made payable on fixed dates. No higher dividend shall be paid than is recommended by the Directors, and the declaration of the Directors as to the amount of the net profits shall be conclusive. 114. PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS IN SPECIE With the sanction of a General Meeting any dividend may be paid wholly or in part by the distribution of specific assets and in particular of paid-up shares or debentures of any other company or in any one or more of such ways. Where any difficulty arises in regard to such distribution, the Directors may settle the same as they think expedient, and in particular may issue fractional certificates and fix the value for distribution of such specific assets or any part thereof and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Members upon the footing of the value so fixed, in order to adjust the rights of all Members, and may vest any such specific assets in trustees upon trust for the Members entitled to the dividend as may seem expedient to the Directors. 115. DIRECTORS MAY FORM RESERVE FUND The Directors may, before recommending any dividend, set aside out of the profits of the Company such sums as they think proper as a reserve fund or reserve funds, which shall at the discretion of the Directors be applicable for meeting contingencies, or for repairing or maintaining any works connected with the business of the Company, or shall, as to the whole or in part, be applicable for equalising dividends, or for distribution by way of special dividend or bonus, or for such other purposes for which the profits of the Company may lawfully be applied as the Directors may think expedient in the interests of the Company, and pending such application the Directors may employ the sums from time to time so set apart as aforesaid in the business of the Company or invest the same in such securities, other than the shares of the Company, as they may select. The Directors may also from time to time carry forward such sums as they may deem expedient in the interests of the Company. |
Page 21 116. DIRECTORS MAY INVEST The Directors shall be at liberty to invest any sums carried to any reseNe account or accounts upon such investments as they think fit, other than shares of the Company, and from time to time deal with and vary such investments and dispose of all or any part thereof for the benefit of the Company (save as hereinbefore provided) and to divide the ordinary reseNe account or accounts into such special accounts as they think fit with full power to employ the assets constituting the ordinary reseNe account or accounts in the business of the Company. 117. DIVIDEND WARRANTS TO BE SENT TO MEMBERS BY POST Every dividend warrant may, unless otherwise directed, be sent by post to the last registered address of the Member entitled thereto, and the receipt of the person whose name at the date of the declaration of the dividend appears on the register of members as the owner of any share, or, in the case of joint holders, of any one of such joint holders, shall be a good discharge to the Company for all payments made in respect of such share. No unpaid dividend or interest shall bear interest as against the Company. Payment of dividend to a Member may be made by the Company by any form of electronic or telegraphic means available, including direct credit to the Member's bank account, with a notification to the Member of such payment. CAPITALIZATION OF RESERVES, ETC. 118. POWER TO CAPITALISE PROFITS The Company in General Meeting may at any time and from time to time pass a resolution that any sum not required for the payment or provision of any fixed preferential dividend, and: (a) being any part of the undivided profits in the hands of the Company; or (b) for the time being standing to the credit of any reseNe fund or reseNe account of the Company, including premiums received on the issue of any debentures of the Company, and/or accretion to capital accruing on sale or shown by a valuation or revaluation of any property or assets of the Company be capitalised, and that such sum be appropriated as capital to and amongst the Members in the proportions in which they would have been entitled thereto if the same had been distributed by way of dividend on the shares, and in such manner as the resolution may direct, and such resolution shall be effective, and the Directors shall in accordance with such resolution apply such sum in paying up in full any unissued shares or debentures of the Company on behalf of the Members aforesaid, and appropriate such shares or debentures and distribute the same credited as fully paid-up to and amongst such Members in the proportions aforesaid in satisfaction of the shares and interests of such Members in the said capitalised sum or shall apply such sum or any part thereof on behalf of the Members aforesaid in paying up the whole or part of any uncalled balance which shall for the time being be unpaid in respect of any issued shares held by such Members or otherwise deal with such sum as directed by such resolution. Where any difficulty arises in respect of any such distribution, the Directors may settle the same as they think expedient, and in particular they may issue fractional certificates, fix the value for distribution of any fully paid-up shares or debentures, make cash payments to any Members on the footing of the value so fixed in order to adjust rights, and vest any such shares or debentures in trustees upon such trusts for the persons entitled to share in the appropriation and distribution as may seem just and expedient to the Directors. When deemed requisite a proper contract for the allotment and acceptance of any shares to be distributed as aforesaid shall be delivered to the Accounting & Corporate Regulatory Authority for registration in accordance with the Act and the Directors may appoint any person to sign such contract on behalf of the persons entitled to share in the appropriation and distribution and such appointment shall be effective.
