2.2

The Company shall not issue Shares in bearer form and shall only issue Shares as fully paid.

2.5

In respect of a Share, the Company shall not be required to enter the names of more than four Joint Holders in the Register of Members of the Company.

entitled to dividends in accordance with the relevant provisions of these Articles;

3.2

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

Preferred Shares

4.1

Preferred 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 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 Directors as hereinafter provided.

4.2

Authority is hereby granted to the Directors, subject to the provisions of the Memorandum, these Articles and applicable law, to create one or more series of Preferred 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:

(a)

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

(b)

the dividend rate on the Preferred 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;

(c)

whether the Preferred 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;

4.3

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

4.4

No dividend shall be declared and set apart for payment on any series of Preferred 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 Preferred 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 Preferred Shares through the end of the last preceding Dividend Period if all dividends were declared and paid in full.

4.5

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

(b)

upon payment of such reasonable sum as the Directors may determine for every certificate after the first, to several certificates each for one or more of that Member’s Shares.

5.5

The Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate for Shares held jointly by several persons and delivery of a certificate for a Share to one Joint Holder shall be a sufficient delivery to all of them.

5.6

All certificates for Shares shall be delivered personally or sent through the post addressed to the Member entitled thereto at the Member’s registered address as appearing in the Register of Members. Every share certificate sent in accordance with these Articles will be sent at the risk of the Member or other person entitled to the certificate.

(a)

the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of Share;

(b)

the instrument of transfer is lodged at the Registered Office or such other place as the Register of Members is kept in accordance with the Law accompanied by the relevant share certificate(s) (if any) or such other evidence as the Directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer (and, if the instrument of transfer is executed by some other person on his behalf, the authority of that person so to do); and

(c)

the instrument of transfer is duly and properly signed and endorsed or accompanied by the share certificates in respect of the relevant Shares or an indemnity.

Transfer to branch register

6.7

The Directors in so far as permitted by any applicable law and rules of the Designated Stock Exchange may, in their absolute discretion, at any time and from time to time transfer any Share upon the Register of Members to any branch register or any Share on any branch register to the Register of Members or any other branch register. In the event of any such transfer, the Member requesting such transfer shall bear the cost of effecting such transfer unless the Directors otherwise determine.

At any time any of the Shares are listed on the Designated Stock Exchange (provided that the Designated Stock Exchange remains an approved stock exchange (as defined in the Exemption Order)), a transfer of such Shares is exempt from the provisions of Article 42(1) of the Law requiring an instrument of transfer to be delivered to the Company where the following conditions are met in respect of such transfer:

7.2

The Company may make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of Shares in any manner authorised by the Law, including out of capital, profits or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares.

7.3

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

7.4

The Directors 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).

7.5

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Articles, and subject to the provisions of the Law, where the Company wishes to purchase its own Shares, the Directors shall have the authority to instead elect to convert any or all of those Shares into redeemable Shares that shall be redeemed by the Company upon such terms and conditions as the Directors may agree with the holder(s) of such Shares at the relevant time. The Directors may convert, and the Company may redeem, any relevant Shares in accordance with this Article as they in their absolute discretion decide, subject to obtaining the prior consent of the holder(s) of such Shares, and there shall be no obligation on the Directors or Company to offer to convert and redeem any other Shares held by any other Members and no Member shall have any rights to require their Shares to be considered for conversion and redemption.

Power to pay for redemption or purchase in cash or in specie

7.6

When making a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of Shares, the Directors may make the payment in cash or in specie (or partly in one way and partly in the other way).

For the purpose of this Article, the date of redemption or purchase is the date when the redemption or purchase occurs.

Variation of Rights Attaching to Shares

8.1

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 Directors 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 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 Directors reserve 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. To any such meeting all the provisions of these 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.

8.2

For the purposes of a separate class meeting, the Directors may treat two or more or all the classes of Shares as forming one class of Shares if the Directors consider that such class of Shares would be affected in the same way by the proposals under consideration, but in any other case shall treat them as separate classes of Shares.

8.3

The rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any class issued with preferred 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 in priority to or pari passu therewith. The rights conferred upon the holders of Ordinary Shares shall be deemed not to be varied by the conversion and redemption of Ordinary Shares in accordance with Article ‎7.5 or any purchase or redemption by the Company of its own Shares.

Commission on Sale of Shares

The Company may, in so far as the Law permits, pay a commission to any person in consideration of his subscribing or agreeing to subscribe (whether absolutely or conditionally) or procuring or agreeing to procure subscriptions (whether absolutely or conditionally) for any Shares. 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

Except as required by law:

(a)

no person shall be recognised by the Company as holding any Share on any trust; and

(b)

no person other than the Member shall be recognised by the Company as having any right in a Share.

Transmission of Shares

Persons entitled on death of a Member

11.1

If a Member dies, the survivor or survivors (where he was a Joint Holder) or his legal personal representatives (where he was a sole holder), shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to his Shares. The estate of a deceased Member is not thereby released from any liability in respect of any Share, for which he was a joint or sole holder.

Registration of transfer of a Share following death or bankruptcy

11.2

Any person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such evidence being produced as may be required by the Directors, elect, by a notice in writing sent by him to the Company, either to become the holder of such Share or to have some person nominated by him registered as the holder of such Share. If he elects to have another person registered as the holder of such Share he shall sign an instrument of transfer of that Share to that person. The Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before his death or bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution, as the case may be.

Indemnity

11.3

The Directors may require a person registered as a Member by reason of the death or bankruptcy of another Member to indemnify the Company and the Directors against any loss or damage suffered by the Company or the Directors as a result of that registration.

Rights of person entitled to a Share following death or bankruptcy

11.4

A person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the same Dividends, other distributions and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the holder of such Share. However, he shall not, before becoming a Member in respect of a Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to general meetings of the Company and the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered himself or to have some person nominated by him be registered as the holder of the Share (but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before his death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution or any other case than by transfer, as the case may be). If the notice is not complied with within ninety days of being received or deemed to be received (as determined pursuant to these Articles) the Directors may thereafter withhold payment of all Dividends, other distributions, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the Share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

Alteration of capital

Increasing, consolidating, converting, dividing and cancelling share capital

12.1

To the fullest extent permitted by the Law, the Company may by Special Resolution do any of the following (and amend its Memorandum and its Articles for that purpose):

(a)

(b)

consolidate all or any of the Shares (whether issued or not) into fewer shares; or

(c)

divide all or any of the Shares (whether issued or not) into more shares.

12.2

All new Shares created hereunder shall be subject to the same provisions with reference to the payment of liens, transfer, transmission, forfeiture and otherwise as the Shares in the original share capital.

Reducing share capital

12.3

Subject to the Law and to any rights for the time being conferred on the Members holding a particular class of Shares, the Company may, by Special Resolution, reduce its share capital in any way.

Sale of fractions of Shares

12.4

Whenever, as a result of a consolidation or division of Shares, any Members would become entitled to fractions of a Share, the Directors may, in their absolute discretion, on behalf of those Members, sell the Shares representing the fractions for (i) the Market Price on the date of such consolidation or division, in the case of any shares listed on a Designated Stock Exchange, and (ii) the best price reasonably obtainable by the Company, in the case of any shares not listed on a Designated Stock Exchange, and distribute the net proceeds of sale in due proportion among those Members, and the Directors may authorise (and the relevant Member hereby authorises) any person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Shares to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. The transferee shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity in or invalidity of the proceedings in reference to the sale.

Closing Register of Members or Fixing Record Date

13.1

The Directors shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, at least ten (10) days before every general meeting, a complete list of the Members entitled to vote at such meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each Member and the number of Shares registered in the name of each Member.

13.2

The Directors, in accordance with the Law, may fix in advance or arrears a date as the record date for any such determination of Members entitled to notice of, attend or to vote at a meeting of the Members or any adjournment thereof, or for the purpose of determining those Members that are entitled to receive payment of any Dividend or other distribution, or in order to make a determination of Members for any other purpose.

13.3

If no record date is fixed for the determination of Members entitled to receive notice of, attend or to vote at a meeting of Members or those Members that are entitled to receive payment of a Dividend or other distribution, the record date for such determination of Members shall be, subject to the Law, at the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

Any Director who enters into a contract or arrangement or has a relationship that is reasonably likely to be implicated under this Article ‎27.2 or that would reasonably be likely to affect a Director’s status as an “Independent Director” under applicable law or the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange shall disclose the nature of his or her interest in any such contract or arrangement in which he is interested or any such relationship.

27.3

Any Director may act by himself or his firm in a professional capacity for the Company, and he or his firm shall be entitled to reasonable expense reimbursement consistent with the Company’s policies in connection with such Director’s service in his official capacity; provided that nothing herein contained shall authorise a Director or his firm to act as auditor to the Company.

Subject to the provisions of the Law, the Directors may pay dividends in accordance with the respective rights of the Members. Any dividend shall not be a debt owed by the Company until such time as payment of the dividend is made.

30.2

In relation to Shares carrying differing rights to dividends or rights to dividends at a fixed rate, the following applies:

(a)

if the Company has different classes of Shares, the Directors may pay dividends on Shares which confer deferred or non-preferred rights with regard to dividends as well as on Shares which confer preferential rights with regard to dividends but no dividend shall be paid on Shares carrying deferred or non-preferred rights if, at the time of payment, any preferential dividend is in arrears;

(b)

subject to the provisions of the Law, the Directors may also pay, at intervals settled by them, any dividend payable at a fixed rate if it appears to them that there are sufficient funds of the Company lawfully available for distribution to justify the payment; and

(c)

if the Directors act in good faith, they shall not incur any liability to the Members holding Shares conferring preferred rights for any loss those Members may suffer by the lawful payment of the dividend on any Shares having deferred or non-preferred rights.

Apportionment of dividends

30.3

Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to Shares, all dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid up on the Shares on which the dividend is paid. All dividends shall be apportioned and paid proportionately to the amount paid up on the Shares during the time or part of the time in respect of which the dividend is paid. But if a Share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for dividend as from a particular date, that Share shall rank for dividend accordingly.

Right of set off

30.4

The Directors may deduct from a dividend or any other amount payable to a person in respect of a Share any amount due by that person to the Company in relation to a Share.

Power to pay other than in cash

30.5

If the Directors so determine, any resolution determining a dividend may direct that it shall be satisfied wholly or partly by the distribution of assets or the issue of Shares. If a difficulty arises in relation to the distribution, the Directors may settle that difficulty in any way they consider appropriate. For example, they may do any one or more of the following:

(a)

issue fractional Shares;

(b)

fix the value of assets for distribution and make cash payments to some Members on the footing of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of Members; and

(c)

vest some assets in trustees.

How payments may be made

30.6

A dividend or other monies payable on or in respect of a Share may be paid in any of the following ways:

(a)

if the Member holding that Share or other person entitled to that Share nominates a bank account for that purpose, by wire transfer to that bank account; or

(b)

by cheque or warrant sent by post to the registered address of the Member holding that Share or other person entitled to that Share.

30.7

For the purpose of Article ‎30.6(a), the nomination may be in writing or in an Electronic Record and the bank account nominated may be the bank account of another person. For the purpose of Article ‎30.6(b), subject to any applicable law or regulation, the cheque or warrant shall be made to the order of the Member holding that Share or other person entitled to the Share or to his nominee, whether nominated in writing or in an Electronic Record, and payment of the cheque or warrant shall be a good discharge to the Company.

30.8

If two or more persons are registered as Joint Holders, a dividend (or other amount) payable on or in respect of that Share may be paid as follows:

(a)

to the registered address of the Joint Holder of the Share who is named first on the Register of Members or to the registered address of the deceased or bankrupt holder, as the case may be; or

(b)

to the address or bank account of another person nominated by the Joint Holders, whether that nomination is in writing or in an Electronic Record.

30.9

Any Joint Holder of a Share may give a valid receipt for a dividend (or other amount) payable in respect of that Share.

Dividends or other monies not to bear interest in absence of special rights

30.10

Unless provided for by the rights attached to a Share, no dividend or other monies payable by the Company in respect of a Share shall bear interest.

Unclaimed Dividends

30.11

All dividends unclaimed for one (1) year after having been declared may be invested or otherwise made use of by the Directors for the benefit of the Company until claimed. Subject to any applicable unclaimed property or other laws, any dividend unclaimed after a period of ten (10) years from the date of declaration shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company. The payment by the Directors of any unclaimed dividend or other sums payable on or in respect of a Share into a separate account shall not constitute the Company a trustee in respect thereof.

31.1

The Directors must ensure that proper accounting and other records are kept, and that accounts and associated reports are distributed in accordance with the requirements of the Law.

No automatic right of inspection

No Indemnified Person shall be liable to the Company for any loss or damage incurred by the Company as a result (whether direct or indirect) of the carrying out of their functions unless that liability arises through the actual fraud or wilful default of such Indemnified Person. No person shall be found to have committed actual fraud or wilful default under this Article unless or until a court of competent jurisdiction shall have made a finding to that effect. Each Member agrees to waive any claim or right of action he or she might have, whether individually or by or in the right of the Company, against any Indemnified Person on account of any action taken by such Indemnified Person, or the failure of such Indemnified Person to take any action in the performance of his duties with or for the Company; provided that such waiver shall not extend to any matter in respect of any actual fraud or wilful default which may attach to such Indemnified Person.

40.4

Neither any amendment nor repeal of these Articles set forth under this heading of Indemnity (the Indemnification Articles), nor the adoption of any provision of these Articles or Memorandum of Association inconsistent with the Indemnification Articles, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of the Indemnification Articles, in respect of any matter occurring, or any action or proceeding accruing or arising or that, but for these Indemnification Articles, would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

Forum

Distribution of assets in specie

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator or the Directors, as the case may be, shall, subject to these Articles and any other sanction required by the Law, 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:

(a)

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 number of Shares held by them; or

(b)

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 number of 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.

43.2

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator or the Directors, as the case may be, 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 Law, 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 or the Directors, as the case may be, 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.
