Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda

 

Section 98 of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda (the “Companies Act”) provides generally that a Bermuda company may indemnify its directors, officers and auditors against any liability which by virtue of any rule of law would otherwise be imposed on them in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust, except in cases where such liability arises from fraud or dishonesty of which such director, officer or auditor may be guilty in relation to the company. Section 98 further provides that a Bermuda company may indemnify its directors, officers and auditors against any liability incurred by them in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgment is awarded in their favor or in which they are acquitted or granted relief by the Supreme Court of Bermuda pursuant to section 281 of the Companies Act.

 

The Bye-laws provide that Valaris shall indemnify its officers and directors in respect of their actions and omissions, except in respect of their fraud or dishonesty. The Bye-laws provide that the shareholders waive all claims or rights of action that they might have, individually or in right of the company, against any of the company’s directors or officers for any act or failure to act in the performance of such director’s or officer’s duties, except in respect of any fraud or dishonesty of such director or officer. Section 98A of the Companies Act permits us to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any officer or director in respect of any loss or liability attaching to him in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust, whether or not we may otherwise indemnify such officer or director. Valaris has purchased and maintains a directors’ and officers’ liability policy for such a purpose.

 

D&O Insurance and Indemnification Agreements

 

The Company maintains directors’ and officers’ insurance which includes coverage for liability under the federal securities laws. The Company also maintains a general liability insurance policy which covers certain liabilities of directors and officers of the Company arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.

 

The Company has also entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers. The indemnification agreements require the Company to (i) indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Bermuda law against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to the Company and (ii) advance expenses reasonably incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. Each indemnity agreement is in substantially the form included herein as Exhibit 10.4 to this Registration Statement. The description of the indemnity agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of indemnity agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 17. Undertakings.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(a)            to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i)                  to include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

(ii)                 to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the Form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

(iii)                  to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;

 

Provided, however, that, paragraphs (a)(i), (ii), and (iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-1, Form S-3, Form SF-3 or Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or, as to a registration statement on Form S-3, Form SF-3 or Form F-3, is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act that is part of the registration statement.

 

(b)           that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;

 

(c)            to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;

 

(d)           that, for purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, if the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use;

 

(e)            that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the Form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a Form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective; and

 

(f)            that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

II-13

 

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

LIEN MAY BE ENFORCED BY SALE OF SHARES The Directors may sell the shares subject to any such lien at such time or times and in such manner as they think fit, but no sale shall be made until such time as the moneys in respect of which such lien exists or some part thereof are or is presently payable or the liability or engagement in respect of which such lien exists is liable to be presently fulfilled or discharged, and until a demand and notice in writing stating the amount due or specifying the liability or engagement and demanding payment or fulfilment or discharge thereof and giving notice of intention to sell in default shall have been served on such Member or the persons (if any) entitled by transmission to the shares, and default in payment, fulfilment or discharge shall have been made by him or them for seven days after such notice.

LIABILITY OF JOINT HOLDERS The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to the payment of all calls and instalments and interest due in respect thereof. 18. INTEREST ON UNPAID CALL If before or on the day appointed for payment thereof a call or instalment payable in respect of a share is not paid, the person from whom the same is due shall pay interest on the amount of the call or instalment at such rate not exceeding ten per cent per annum as the Directors shall fix from the day appointed for payment thereof to the time of actual payment, but the Directors may waive payment of such interest wholly or in part. 19. SUMS PAYABLE ON ALLOTMENT DEEMED A CALL Any sum which by the terms of allotment of a share is made payable upon allotment or at any fixed date, , shall, for all purposes of these Articles, be deemed to be a call duly made and payable on the date fixed for payment, and in case of non-payment the provisions of these Articles as to payment of interest and expenses, forfeiture and the like, and all other relevant provisions of these Articles, shall apply as if such sum were a call duly made and notified as hereby provided. 20. DIFFERENCE IN CALLS The Directors may, from time to time, make arrangements on the issue of shares for a difference between the holders of such shares in the amount of calls to be paid and in the time of payment of such calls. 21. CALLS MAY BE PAID IN ADVANCE The Directors may, if they think fit, receive from any Member willing to advance the same all or any part of the moneys due upon his shares beyond the sums actually called up thereon, and upon the moneys so paid in advance, or so much thereof as exceeds the amount for the time being called up on the shares in respect of which such advance has been made, the Directors may pay or allow such interest at such rate not exceeding ten per cent per annum as may be agreed between them and such Member. TRANSFER OF SHARES 22. SHARES TO BE TRANSFERABLE Subject to the restrictions of these Articles shares shall be transferable and every transfer must be in writing in the usual common form, or in such other form as the Directors shall from time to time approve, and must be left at the Office, accompanied by the certificate of the shares to be transferred and such other evidence (if any) as the Directors may require to prove the title of the intending transferor. 23. PERSONS UNDER DISABILITY No share shall in any circumstances be knowingly transferred to any infant, bankrupt or person of unsound mind, and any purported transfer shall be deemed to be void.

DIRECTORS MAY REFUSE TO REGISTER IN CERTAIN CASES The Directors may, in their absolute discretion, refuse to register a transfer of any share. The Directors may refuse to register any transfer of shares on which the Company has a lien or any transfer which might cause the number of Members to exceed the limit prescribed by Article 4. If the Directors refuse to register a transfer of any share, they shall, within one month after the date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company, send to the transferor and transferee notice of the refusal, as required by the Act. A transfer of shares shall not pass the right to any dividend declared thereon before the registration of the transfer. 27. TRANSFER FEE Such fee, not exceeding $2 for each transfer, as the Directors may from time to time determine, may be charged for registration of a transfer. There shall also be paid to the Company in respect of the registration of any probate, letters of administration, certificate of death, power of attorney or other document relating to or affecting the title to any shares, $2 or such other sum as the Directors may determine. 28. REGISTER OF TRANSFERS MAY BE CLOSED The Register of Transfers may be closed during the fourteen days immediately preceding every Annual General Meeting of the Company, and at such other times (if any) and for such period as the Directors may from time to time determine, provided always that it shall not be closed for more than thirty days in any year. TRANSMISSION OF SHARES 29. ON DEATH OF MEMBER, SURVIVOR OR EXECUTOR ONLY RECOGNISED In the case of the death of a Member, the survivors or survivor, where the deceased was a joint holder, and the executors or administrators of the deceased where he was a sole or only surviving holder, shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to his shares, but nothing herein contained shall release the estate of a deceased Member (whether sole or joint holder) from any liability in respect of any share held by him. 30. PERSON BECOMING ENTITLED ON DEATH OR BANKRUPTCY OF MEMBER MAY BE REGISTERED Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of any Member may, upon producing such evidence of title as the Director shall require and with the consent of the Directors (which they shall not be under any obligation to give), be registered himself as holder of the share, or, subject to the provisions as to transfers herein contained, transfer the same to some other person. 31 . LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE OR GUARDIAN ETC ELECTING TO BE REGISTERED MUST GIVE NOTICE (A) If the person so becoming entitled shall elect to be registered himself, he shall deliver or send to the Company a notice in writing signed by him stating that he so elects and such notice shall be deemed to be a transfer.

GRAPHIC

Page 6 (C) If he elects to have another person registered he shall testify his election by executing to that person a transfer of the share. All the limitations, restrictions, and provisions of these Articles relating to the right to transfer and the registration of transfers of shares shall be applicable to any such notice or transfer as aforesaid as if the death or bankruptcy of the Member had not occurred and the notice or transfer were a transfer signed by that Member. (D) The Company shall be entitled to charge a fee not exceeding $2/- on the registration of any probate, letters of administration, certificate of death or marriage, power of attorney or any other instrument or document affecting the title to any share. 32. PERSON ENTITLED MAY RECEIVE DIVIDENDS WITHOUT BEING REGISTERED AS MEMBER, BUT MAY NOT VOTE A person entitled to a share by transmission shall be entitled to receive, and may give a discharge for, any dividends or other moneys payable in respect of the share, but he shall not be entitled in respect of it to receive notices of, or to attend or vote at meetings of the Company, or, save as aforesaid, to exercise any of the rights or privileges of a Member, unless and until he shall become registered as a Member in respect of the share. FORFEITURE OF SHARES 33. DIRECTORS MAY REQUIRE PAYMENT OF CALL WITH INTEREST AND EXPENSES If any Member fails to pay the whole or any part of any call or instalment of a call on or before the day appointed for the payment thereof the Directors may at any time thereafter, during such time as the call or instalment or any part thereof remains unpaid, serve a notice on him or on the person entitled to the share by transmission requiring him to pay such call or instalment, or such part thereof as remains unpaid, together with interest at such rate not exceeding ten per cent per annum as the Directors shall determine, and any expenses that may have accrued by reason of such non-payment. 34. NOTICE REQUIRING PAYMENT TO CONTAIN CERTAIN PARTICULARS The notice shall name a further day (not earlier than the expiration of seven days from the date of the notice) on or before which such call or instalment, or such part as aforesaid, and all interest and expenses that have accrued by reason of such non-payment, are to be paid. It shall also name the place where payment is to be made, and shall state that, in the event of non-payment at or before the time and at the place appointed, the shares in respect of which such call was made will be liable to be forfeited. 35. ON NON-COMPLIANCE WITH NOTICE SHARES FORFEITED ON RESOLUTION OF DIRECTORS If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any share in respect of which such notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before the payment required by the notice has been made be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors to that effect. A forfeiture of shares shall include all dividends in respect of the shares not actually paid before the forfeiture, notwithstanding that they shall have been declared. 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. DIRECTORS MAY ALLOW FORFEITED SHARE TO BE REDEEMED Notwithstanding any such forfeiture as aforesaid, the Directors may, at any time before the forfeited share has been otherwise disposed of, annul the forfeiture, upon the terms of payment of all calls and interest due thereon and all expenses incurred in respect of the share and upon such further terms (if any) as they shall see fit.

PROCEDURE FOR SHARES FORFEITED OR SURRENDERED Every share so forfeited or surrendered may be sold, re-allotted, or otherwise disposed of, either to the person who was before forfeiture the holder thereof, or entitled thereto, or to any other person, upon such terms and in such manner as the Directors shall think fit, and the Directors may, if necessary, authorise some person to transfer the same to such other person as aforesaid. 39. 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 .

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. POWER TO CONVERT INTO STOCK The Company may, from time to time, by Ordinary Resolution of a General Meeting convert all or any of its paid-up shares into stock and may from time to time, in like manner, re-convert any such stock into paid-up shares of any denomination. 43. 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".

COMPANY MAY ISSUE NEW SHARES The Company in General Meeting may from time to time by Ordinary Resolution issue new shares, such new shares to be of such amount and (subject to any special rights for the time being attached to any existing class of shares) to carry such preferential, deferred or other special rights (if any), or to be subject to such conditions or restrictions (if any), in regard to dividend, return of capital, voting or otherwise, as the General Meeting resolving upon such issue of shares directs. 49. 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. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING (A) Subject to the provisions of the Act and Article 52(B), the Company shall in each year hold a General Meeting as its Annual General Meeting in addition to any other meetings in that year, and shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it; and not more than fifteen months shall elapse between the date of one Annual General Meeting of the Company and that of the next. Provided that so long as the Company holds its first Annual General Meeting within eighteen months of its incorporation, it need not hold it in the year of its incorporation or in the following year. 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.

GRAPHIC

Page 10 For the avoidance of doubt, the resolution to dispense with Annual General Meetings shall continue to be in force for subsequent years notwithstanding the occurrence of any of the aforesaid events in any year, unless and until an ordinary resolution (which may be passed by written means) is passed to revoke the dispensation; or the Company is converted to a public company. (D) While the resolution to dispense with Annual General Meetings shall continue to be in force but subject to Article 52(C), any matter that is routinely dealt with at or to be done in relation to an Annual General Meeting may be dealt with by resolutions of the Company passed by written means. 53. EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETINGS All General Meetings other than Annual General Meetings shall be called "Extraordinary General Meetings". 54. CALLING EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETINGS The Directors may call an Extraordinary General Meeting whenever they think fit, and Extraordinary General Meetings shall also be convened on such requisition, or in default may be convened by such requisitionists, as provided by the Act. If at any time there are not within Singapore sufficient Directors capable of acting to form a quorum at a meeting of Directors, any Director may convene an Extraordinary General Meeting in the same manner as nearly as possible as that in which meetings may be convened by the Directors. 55. NOTICE OF MEETINGS Subject to the provisions of the Act relating to special notice and agreements for shorter notice, fourteen days' notice in writing at the least, specifying the place, the day and the hour of meeting, and in the case of special business the general nature of such business, shall be given in manner hereinafter mentioned to such persons as are under the provisions of these Articles entitled to receive notices of General Meetings from 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. Save as herein otherwise provided, two Members shall form a quorum but if the Company has only one Member, that Member shall form the quorum, and in the event of a corporation being beneficially entitled to the whole of the issued capital of the Company one person representing such corporation shall be a quorum. 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.

LIEN 16. The Company has a first and paramount lien on every Share (whether or not fully paid) for all amounts (whether presently payable or not) payable at a fixed time or called in respect of that Share. The Company also has a first and paramount lien on every Share registered in the name of a Person indebted or under liability to the Company (whether he is the sole registered holder of a Share or one of two or more joint holders) for all amounts owing by him or his estate to the Company (whether or not presently payable). The Directors may at any time declare a Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The Company's lien on a Share extends to any amount payable in respect of it. 17. The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors in their absolute discretion think fit, any Share on which the Company has a lien, but no sale shall be made unless an amount in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable nor until the expiration of fourteen days after a notice in writing, demanding payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, has been given to the registered holder for the time being of the Share, or the Persons entitled thereto by reason of his death or bankruptcy. 18. For giving effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise some Person to transfer the Shares sold to the purchaser thereof. The purchaser shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer and he 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 or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the sale. 19. The proceeds of the sale after deduction of expenses, fees and commission incurred by the Company shall be received by the Company and applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, and the residue shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares prior to the sale) be paid to the Person entitled to the Shares immediately prior to the sale. CALLS ON SHARES 20. The Directors may from time to time make calls upon the Shareholders in respect of any moneys unpaid on their Shares, and each Shareholder shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen days' notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on such Shares. 21. The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay calls in respect thereof. 22. If a sum called in respect of a Share is not paid before or on the day appointed for payment thereof, the Person from whom the sum is due shall pay interest upon the sum at the rate of eight percent per annum from the day appointed for the payment thereof to the time of the actual payment, but the Directors shall be at liberty to waive payment of that interest wholly or in part. 23. The provisions of these Articles as to the liability of joint holders and as to payment of interest shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the amount of the Share, or by way of premium, as if the same had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified. 24. The Directors may make arrangements on the issue of partly paid Shares for a difference between the Shareholders, or the particular Shares, in the amount of calls to be paid and in the times of payment. 25. The Directors may, if they think fit, receive from any Shareholder willing to advance the same all or any part of the moneys uncalled and unpaid upon any partly paid Shares held by him, and 6 C · \NRPortbl\LEGAl\BKJDNER\4159435 _ 1. DOC

GRAPHIC

upon all or any of the moneys so advanced may (until the same would, but for such advance, become presently payable) pay interest at such rate (not exceeding without the sanction of an Ordinary Resolution, eight percent per annum) as may be agreed upon between the Shareholder paying the sum in advance and the Directors. FORFEITURE OF SHARES 26. If a Shareholder fails to pay any call or instalment of a call in respect of partly paid Shares on the day appointed for payment, the Directors may, at any time thereafter during such time as any part of such call or instalment remains unpaid, serve a notice on him requiring payment of so much of the call or instalment as is unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued. 27. The notice shall name a further day (not earlier than the expiration of fourteen days from the date of the notice) on or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made, and shall state that in the event of non-payment at or before the time appointed the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited. 28. If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any Share in respect of which the notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before the payment required by notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors to that effect 29. A forfeited Share may be sold or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit, and at any time before a sale or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit 30. A Person whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Shareholder in respect of the forfeited Shares, but shall, notwithstanding, remain liable to pay to the Company all moneys which at the date of forfeiture were payable by him to the Company in respect of the Shares forfeited, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company receives payment in full of the amount unpaid on the Shares forfeited. 31. A statutory declaration in writing that the declarant is a Director, and that a Share has been duly forfeited on a date stated in the declaration, shall be conclusive evidence of the facts in the declaration as against all Persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. 32. The Company may receive the consideration, if any, given for a Share on any sale or disposition thereof pursuant to the provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture and may execute a transfer of the Share in favour of the Person to whom the Share is sold or disposed of and that Person shall be registered as the holder of the Share, and shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the disposition or sale. 33. The provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which by the terms of issue of a Share becomes due and payable, whether on account of the amount of the Share, or by way of premium, as if the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified. TRANSFER OF SHARES 34. The instrument of transfer of any Share shall be in any usual or common form or such other form as the Directors may, in their absolute discretion, approve and be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and if in respect of a nil or partly paid up Share, or if so required by the Directors, shall also be executed on behalf of the transferee and shall be accompanied by the certificate (if any) of the Shares to which it relates and such other evidence as the Directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer. The transferor shall be deemed to remain 7 C:\NRPortbl\LEGAL\BKIDNER\4159435~1 DOC

a Shareholder until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register in respect of the relevant Shares. 35 The Directors may in their absolute discretion decline to register any transfer of Shares without assigning any reason therefor. 36. The registration of transfers may be suspended at such times and for such periods as the Directors may from time to time determine. 37 All instruments of transfer that are registered shall be retained by the Company, but any instrument of transfer that the Directors decline to register shall (except in any case of fraud) be returned to the Person depositing the same. TRANSMISSION OF SHARES 38. The legal personal representative of a deceased sole holder of a Share shall be the only Person recognised by the Company as having any title to the Share. In the case of a Share registered in the name of two or more holders, the survivors or survivor, or the legal personal representatives of the deceased survivor, shall be the only Person recognised by the Company as having any title to the Share. 39. Any Person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Shareholder shall upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Directors, have the right either to be registered as a Shareholder in respect of the Share or, instead of being registered himself, to make such transfer of the Share as the deceased or bankrupt Person could have made; but the Directors 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 the deceased or bankrupt Person before the death or bankruptcy. 40 A Person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy of a Shareholder shall be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the registered Shareholder, except that he shall not, before being registered as a Shareholder 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. ALTERATION OF SHARE CAPITAL 41. The Company may from time to time by Ordinary Resolution increase the share capital by such sum, to be divided into Shares of such Classes and amount, as the resolution shall prescribe. 42. The Company may by Ordinary Resolution: (a) consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into Shares of a larger amount than its existing Shares; (b) convert all or any of its paid up Shares into stock and reconvert that stock into paid up Shares of any denomination; (c) subdivide its existing Shares, or any of them into Shares of a smaller amount provided that in the subdivision the proportion between the amount paid and the amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced Share shall be the same as it was in case of the Share from which the reduced Share is derived; and 8 C.\NRPortbl\LEGAL\BKlDNER\4159'135_ 1 DOC

(d) 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. 43. The Company may by Special Resolution reduce its share capital and any capital redemption reserve in any manner authorised by law. REDEMPTION AND PURCHASE OF SHARES 44. Subject to the Law, the Company may: (a) issue Shares on terms that they are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the Company or the Shareholder on such terms and in such manner as the Directors may, before the issue of such Shares, determine; (b) purchase its own Shares (including any redeemable Shares) on such terms and in such manner as the Directors may determine and agree with the Shareholder; and (c) make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own Shares in any manner authorised by the Law, including out of its capital, profits or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares, 45. Any Share in respect of which notice of redemption has been given shall not be entitled to participate in the profits of the Company in respect of the period after the date specified as the date of redemption in the notice of redemption. 46. The redemption or purchase of any Share shall not be deemed to give rise to the redemption or purchase of any other Share, 47, The Directors may when making payments in respect of redemption or purchase of Shares, if authorised by the terms of issue of the Shares being redeemed or purchased or with the agreement of the holder of such Shares, make such payment either in cash or in specie, GENERAL MEETINGS 48.

The subscribed share capital amounts to four hundred thirty million nine hundred thirty­ four thousand nine hundred twenty-three United States Dollars (USD 430,934,923) divided into four hundred thirty million nine hundred thirty-four thousand nine hundred twenty-three (430,934,923) shares having a nominal value of one United States Dollar (USD 1) each.

Art. 9. The shares of the Company are in registered form only. Each share confers an identical voting right and each shareholder has voting rights commensurate to his shareholding. In case of share(s) subject to an usufruct duly notified to or accepted by the Company in accordance with article 1690 of the civil code, voting rights are exercised by the bare owner except for the decisions related to the allocation of profits which belong to the usufructuary. Art. 10. The shares are freely transferable among the shareholders. Shares (or usufruct and bare ownership thereof) may not be transferred "inter vivas" to non­ shareholders unless shareholders holding at least seventy-jive percent (75%) of the shares of the Company shall have agreed thereto, except when the Company has one single shareholder or when the shares to be transferred represent the full amount of all the shares issued by the Company. If a shareholder intends to transfer share(s) to a third party, such shareholder must send a notice to the Company with all relevant details of the proposed transfer, including the identity of the transferee, the transfer price (the "Proposed Transfer Price''), and, if relevant the conditions applicable to the transfer. If the proposed transfer is not approved by the shareholders in accordance with this Article, the shareholders may, within three (3) months from the date of the refusal, acquire the share(s) on a prorata basis between them (unless otherwise agreed between them) or procure the acquisition of the share(s) by another party at a price corresponding to the Proposed Transfer Price, except if the transferring shareholder renounce to the sale of its share(s). Upon request of the board of managers or the sole manager (as the case may be), the three-month period can be extended for a maximum period of six (6) months by the judge presiding the chamber of the district court (Tribunal d' Arrondissement) dealing with commercial matters and sitting as in summary proceedings. To the extent that the shareholders have not proposed to acquire share(s), the Company may within the same timeframe and with the consent of the transferring shareholder, decide to reduce its share capital by an amount corresponding to the aggregate nominal value of the relevant share(s) and redeem and cancel such share(s) at a price corresponding to the Proposed Transfer Price If following the expiry of the above-mentioned periods, the shares have not been acquired or redeemed in accordance with the preceding paragraphs, the transferring shareholder may freely sell its share(s) to the proposed transferee at the transfer price and conditions which were notified to the Company.

In case a share is owned by several persons, they shall appoint a single representative who shall represent them in respect of the Company. The Company has the right to suspend the exercise of all rights attached to that share, except for relevant information rights, until such representative has been appointed. In the event of death, the shares of the deceased shareholder may only be transferred to new shareholders subject to the approval of such transfer given by the remaining shareholders holding at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the shares owned by the remaining shareholders. Such approval is however not required in case the shares are transferred either to parents, descendants or the surviving spouse or any other legal heir of the deceased shareholder. However, shares allocated against sweat contributions may not be transferred neither to shareholder(s) nor to non-shareholder(s). Art. 11. The Company shall have power to redeem its own shares subject to the relevant provisions of the Commercial Companies Law. Such redemption shall be carried out by means of a resolution of an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders or of the sole shareholder (as the case may be), adopted under the conditions required for the amendment of the Articles, provided that such redemption has been proposed to each shareholder in the proportion of the capital represented by their shares. However, if the redemption price is in excess of the nominal value of the shares to be redeemed, the redemption may only be decided to the extent that the excess purchase price may not exceed total pro.fits made since the end of the last.financial year for which the annual accounts have been approved, plus any pro.fits carried forward and sums drawn from reserves available for this purpose, less losses carried forward and any sums to be placed to reserve pursuant to the requirements of the Law or of the Articles. The board of managers or the sole manager (as the case may be) is authorized to cancel the redeemed shares held in treasury, to resolve on the corresponding decrease of the share capital of the Company and to take or authorize any person to take any necessary steps for the purpose of obtaining execution and publication of the amendment of the first paragraph of Article 8 of these Articles. Management Art. 12. The Company will be managed by one or more managers. Jf several managers have been appointed, they will constitute a board of managers composed of one or several category A manager(s) and one or several category B manager(s). The manager(s) need not be shareholders of the Company. The manager(s) shall be appointed and designated as category A manager or category B manager, and her/his/its/their remuneration determined, by a resolution of the general meeting of shareholders taken by simple majority of the votes cast, or of the sole shareholder (as the case may be). The remuneration of the manager(s) can be modified by a resolution taken at the same majority conditions. The general meeting of shareholders or the sole shareholder (as the case may be) may, at any time and "ad nutum", remove and replace any manager.

GRAPHIC

All powers not expressly reserved by the Law or the Articles to the general meeting of shareholders or to the sole shareholder (as the case may be) fall within the competence of the board of managers, or of the sole manager (as the case may be). In dealing with third parties, the manager, or, in case of plurality of managers, the board of managers will have all powers to act in the name of the Company in all circumstances and to carry out and approve all acts and operations consistent with the Company's object, provided the terms of these Articles shall have been complied with. The Company shall be bound by the sole signature of its single manager, and, in case of plurality of managers, by the joint signature of one category A manager and one category B manager. The board of managers or the sole manager (as the case may be), may from time to time sub­ delegate her/his/its powers for specific tasks to one or several ad hoc agent(s) who need not be shareholder(s) or manager(s) of the Company. The board of managers, or the sole manager (as the case may be) will determine the powers, duties and remuneration (if any) of its agent(s), the duration of the period of representation and any other relevant conditions of his/their agency. Art. 13. In case of plurality of managers, the decisions of the managers are taken by meeting of the board of managers. The board of managers may appoint among its members a chairman to chair the meeting which, in case of tie vote, shall not have a casting vote. It may also appoint a secretary, who needs not to be a manager, who shall be responsible for keeping the minutes of the meetings of the board of managers or for such other matter as may be specified by the board of managers. The board of managers shall meet when convened by any manager. Notice of any meeting of the board of managers shall be given to all managers at least 2 (two) days in advance of the time set for such meeting except in the event of emergency, the nature of which is to be set forth in the minute of the meeting. Any convening notice shall specify the time and place of the meeting and the nature of the business to be transacted. Convening notices can be given to each manager by word of mouth, in writing or by fax, cable, telegram, telex, electronic means or by any other suitable communication means. The notice may be waived by the consent, in writing or by fax, cable, telegram, telex, electronic means or by any other suitable communication means, of each manager. The meeting will be duly held without prior notice if all the managers are present or duly represented. No separate notice is required for meetings held at times and places specified in a schedule previously adopted by a resolution of the board of managers. Any manager may act at any meeting of the board of managers by appointing in writing or by fax, cable, telegram, telex or electronic means another manager as his/her/its proxy. A manager may represent more than one manager.

GRAPHIC

The managers may participate in a board of managers meeting by phone, videoconference, or any other suitable telecommunication means allowing all persons participating in the meeting to hear each other at the same time, provided that a majority of the managers shall never attend the meeting while being located in the same foreign jurisdiction. Such participation in a meeting is deemed equivalent to a participation in person at a meeting of the managers and the meeting is deemed to be held at the registered office of the Company. The board of managers can validly deliberate and act only if the majority of its members is present or represented, including at least one category A manager and one category B manager. Decisions of the board of managers are adopted by the majority of the managers participating to the meeting or duly represented thereto, including at least one category A manager and one category B manager. The deliberations of the board of managers shall be recorded in the minutes, which have to be signed by the chairman or one category A manager and one category B manager. Any transcript of or excerpt from these minutes shall be signed by the chairman or one category A manager and one category B manager. Resolutions in writing approved and signed by all managers shall have the same e ffect as resolutions passed at a managers ' meeting and shall be deemed to be taken at the registered office of the Company. The date of such resolutions shall be the date of the last signature. In such cases, written resolutions can either be documented in a single document or in several separate documents having the same content. Written resolutions may be transmitted by ordinary mail, fax, cable, telegram, telex, electronic means, or any other suitable telecommunication means. Any manager who has, directly or indirectly, a patrimonial interest conflicting with the interest of the Company in connection with a transaction falling within the competence of the board of managers, must inform the board of managers of such conflict of interest and must have his declaration recorded in the minutes of the board meeting. The relevant manager may not take part in the discussions relating to such transaction or vote on such transaction. Any such conflict of interest must be reported to the next general meeting of shareholders prior to such meeting taking any resolution on any other item. Where the Company comprises a single manager, transactions made between the Company and the manager having an interest conflicting with that of the Company are specifically mentioned in the resolution of the sole manager.

The conflict of interest rules shall not apply where the decision of the board of managers or the sole manager relates to day-to-day transactions entered into under normal conditions. Art. 14.

In such case, each shareholder shall receive the whole text of each resolution or decision to be taken, transmitted in writing or by fax, cable, telegram, telex, electronic means or any other suitable telecommunication means. Each shareholder shall vote in writing. If the shareholders number exceeds 60 (sixty), the decisions of the shareholders are taken by meetings of the shareholders. In such a case 1 (one) general meeting shall be held at least annually in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg within 6 (six) months of the closing of the last financial year.

If all shareholders are present or represented at the general meeting and state that they have been duly informed of the agenda of the meeting, the general meeting may be held without prior notice. Any shareholder may act at any general meeting by appointing in writing or by fax, cable, telegram, telex, electronic means or by any other suitable telecommunication means another person who needs not be shareholder.

Shareholders may take part in the meeting by conference call, through video conference or by any other means of communication allowing for their identification, allowing all persons taking part in the meeting to hear one another on a continuous basis, and allowing for an effective participation of all such persons in the meeting.

The Company shall only take into account voting forms received on the day preceding the date of the general meeting to which they relate. The board of managers may determine further conditions that must be fulfilled by the shareholders for them to take part in any general meeting of shareholders. An attendance list must be kept at all general meetings of shareholders. Resolutions at the meetings of shareholders or resolutions proposed in writing to the shareholders are validly taken in so far as they are adopted by shareholders representing more than half of the share capital of the Company.

Every year 5% (five percent) of the net profit will be transferred to the statutory reserve. This deduction ceases to be compulsory when the statutory reserve amounts to one tenth of the issued share capital, as decreased or increased from time to time, but shall again become compulsory if the statutory reserve falls below such one tenth. Upon recommendation of the board of managers or the sole manager (as the case may be), the general meeting of shareholders at the majority vote determined by the Law or the sole shareholder (as the case may be) may decide at any time that the excess be distributed to the shareholder(s) proportionally to the shares they hold, as dividends or be carried forward or transferred to an extraordinary reserve. In case of share(s) subject to an usufruct duly notified to or accepted by the Company in accordance with article 1690 of the civil code, the usufructuary is entitled to receive the dividend distribution, if any. Art. 23. Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding article, the board of managers or the sole manager (as the case may be), may decide to pay interim dividends, on the basis of a statement of

The general meeting of shareholders under the conditions provided for by the Law, or the sole shareholder (as the case may be) may resolve the dissolution of the Company.

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 (where this is permissible under the applicable law) 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 parties. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in these Articles shall preclude the Company in general meeting from offering to pay dividends to its members by any means, including but not limited to scrip dividends.

The directors may 18

GRAPHIC

also without placing the same to reserve carry forward any profits which they may think prudent not to distribute. (f) Subject to the rights of persons, if any, entitled to shares with special rights as to dividend, all dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid or credited as paid on the shares in respect whereof the dividend is paid, but no amount paid or credited as paid on the share in advance of calls shall be treated for the purposes of this Article as paid on the share. All dividends shall be apportioned and paid proportionately to the amounts paid or credited as paid on the shares during any portion or portions of the period in respect of which the dividend is paid; but if any share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for dividend as from a particular date such share shall rank for dividend accordingly.

GRAPHIC

Provided further that the directors may in giving effect to such resolution make such provision by payment in cash or otherwise as they think fit for the case of shares or debentures becoming distributable in fractions. 19. EXTRAORDINARY RESOLUTIONS A resolution shall be an extraordinary resolution where - (a) it has been taken at a general meeting of which notice specifying the intention to propose the text of the resolution as an extraordinary resolution and the principal purpose thereof has been duly given; and (b) it has been passed by a number of members having the right to attend and vote at any such meeting holding in the aggregate not less than fifty-one per centum (51%) in nominal value of the shares conferring that right.

The liquidator may, with like sanction, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trusts for the benefit of the beneficiaries as the liquidator, with 20

GRAPHIC

the like sanction, shall think fit, but so that no member shall be compelled to accept any shares or other securities whereon there is any liability. 21. NOTICES Notice under these Articles shall be given in accordance with this Article. Any notice must be served by registered post or telefax or telex and shall be deemed to have been served in the case of registered post on the day immediately following that on which it was posted and in the case of a telefax or a telex on the day of transmission, and in providing such service it shall be sufficient to prove that the notice was addressed properly and posted or transmitted to such telefax or telex number as may be notified by the shareholders and directors to the Company. 22. MEETINGS BY TELEPHONE A person is entitled to participate at a meeting of the Board of Directors or at any General Meeting by means of a telephone link provided the other members or directors agree to such participation by telephone. The chairman of the meeting, in such cases, shall sign on behalf of the person participating by telephone and shall record the fact that all persons present at the meeting have agreed to such telephonic participation. 23. INDEMNITY Every managing director, director holding any other executive office or other director, and every agent, or company secretary and in general any officer or auditor for the time being of the Company shall be indemnified out of the assets of the Company against any liability incurred by him in defending any proceedings in which judgement is given in his favour or in which he is acquitted.

For the purposes of convening and holding a meeting pursuant to this Article the Directors may treat all the Classes or any two or more Classes as forming one Class if they consider that all such Classes would be affected in the same way by the proposals under consideration but in any other case shall treat them as separate Classes.

 

13. 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 materially adversely varied or abrogated by, inter alia, the creation, allotment or issue of further Shares ranking pair passu with or subsequent to them, the redemption or purchase of Shares of any Class by the Company.

 

CERTIFICATES

 

14. No Person shall be entitled to a certificate for any or all of his Shares, unless the Directors shall determine otherwise.

 

FRACTIONAL SHARES

 

15. The Directors may issue fractions of a Share and, if so issued, a fraction of a Share shall be subject to and carry the corresponding fraction of liabilities (whether with respect to nominal or par value, premium, contributions, calls or otherwise), limitations, preferences, privileges, qualifications, restrictions, rights (including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, voting and participation rights) and other attributes of a whole Share. If more than one fraction of a Share of the same Class is issued to or acquired by the same Shareholder such fractions shall be accumulated.

 

LIEN

 

16. The Company shall have a first priority lien and charge on every partly paid Share for all moneys (whether presently payable or not) called or payable at a fixed time in respect of that Share, and the Company shall also have a first priority lien and charge on all partly paid Shares standing registered in the name of a Shareholder (whether held solely or jointly with another Person) for all moneys presently payable by him or his estate to the Company, but the Directors may at any time declare any Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The Company's lien, if any, on a Share shall extend to all distributions payable thereon.

 

 

 

25 

 

 

17. The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors in their absolute discretion think fit, any Shares on which the Company has a lien, but no sale shall be made unless an amount in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable nor until the expiration of fourteen days after a notice in writing, stating and demanding payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, has been given to the registered holder for the time being of the Share, or the Persons entitled thereto by reason of his death or bankruptcy.

 

18. For giving effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise some Person to transfer the Shares sold to the purchaser thereof. The purchaser shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer and he 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 or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the sale.

 

19. The proceeds of the sale after deduction of expenses, fees and commission incurred by the Company shall be received by the Company and applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, and the residue shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares prior to the sale) be paid to the Person entitled to the Shares at the date of the sale.

 

CALLS ON SHARES

 

20. The Directors may from time to time make calls upon the Shareholders in respect of any moneys unpaid on their partly paid Shares, and each Shareholder shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen days' notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on such Shares.

 

21. The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay calls in respect thereof.

 

22. If a sum called in respect of a Share is not paid before or on the day appointed for payment thereof, the Person from whom the sum is due shall pay interest upon the sum at the rate of eight percent per annum from the day appointed for the payment thereof to the time of the actual payment, but the Directors shall be at liberty to waive payment of that interest wholly or in part.

 

23. The provisions of these Articles as to the liability of joint holders and as to payment of interest shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the amount of the Share, or by way of premium, as if the same had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

 

24. The Directors may make arrangements on the issue of partly paid Shares for a difference between the Shareholders, or the particular Shares, in the amount of calls to be paid and in the times of payment.

 

25. The Directors may, if they think fit, receive from any Shareholder willing to advance the same all or any part of the moneys uncalled and unpaid upon any partly paid Shares held by him, and upon all or any of the moneys so advanced may (until the same would, but for such advance, become presently payable) pay interest at such rate (not exceeding without the sanction of an Ordinary Resolution, eight percent per annum) as may be agreed upon between the Shareholder paying the sum in advance and the Directors.

 

FORFEITURE OF SHARES

 

26. If a Shareholder fails to pay any call or instalment of a call in respect of partly paid Shares on the day appointed for payment, the Directors may, at any time thereafter during such time as any part of such call or instalment remains unpaid, serve a notice on him requiring payment of so much of the call or instalment as is unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued.

 

 

 

26 

 

 

27. The notice shall name a further day (not earlier than the expiration of fourteen days from the date of the notice) on or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made, and shall state that in the event of non-payment at or before the time appointed the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

 

28. If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any Share in respect of which the notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before the payment required by notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors to that effect.

 

29. A forfeited Share may be sold or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit, and at any time before a sale or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit.

 

30. A Person whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Shareholder in respect of the forfeited Shares, but shall, notwithstanding, remain liable to pay to the Company all moneys which at the date of forfeiture were payable by him to the Company in respect of the Shares forfeited, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company receives payment in full of the amount unpaid on the Shares forfeited.

 

31. A statutory declaration in writing that the declarant is a Director, and that a Share has been duly forfeited on a date stated in the declaration, shall be conclusive evidence of the facts in the declaration as against all Persons claiming to be entitled to the Share.

 

32. The Company may receive the consideration, if any, given for a Share on any sale or disposition thereof pursuant to the provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture and may execute a transfer of the Share in favour of the Person to whom the Share is sold or disposed of and that Person shall be registered as the holder of the Share, and shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the disposition or sale.

 

33. The provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which by the terms of issue of a Share becomes due and payable, whether on account of the amount of the Share, or by way of premium, as if the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

 

TRANSFER OF SHARES

 

34. Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any Class, no Shares may be transferred, assigned or disposed of without the prior consent in writing of the Directors or their authorised agents, which may be withheld in their absolute discretion.

 

35. The instrument of transfer of any Share shall be in any usual or common form or such other form as the Directors may, in their absolute discretion, approve and be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and if in respect of a nil or partly paid up Share, or if so required by the Directors, shall also be executed on behalf of the transferee and shall be accompanied by the certificate (if any) of the Shares to which it relates and such other evidence as the Directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer. The transferor shall be deemed to remain a Shareholder until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register in respect of the relevant Shares.

 

36. The Directors may in their absolute discretion decline to register any transfer of Shares without assigning any reason therefor.

 

37. The registration of transfers may be suspended at such times and for such periods as the Directors may from time to time determine.

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

 

39. The legal personal representative of a deceased sole holder of a Share shall be the only Person recognised by the Company as having any title to the Share.

41. A Person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy of a Shareholder shall be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the registered Shareholder, except that he shall not, before being registered as a Shareholder 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.

(c) make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own Shares in any manner authorised by the Law, including out of its capital, profits or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares.

102. A Director who is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or proposed contract with the Company shall declare the nature of his interest at a meeting of the Directors. A general notice given to the Directors by any Director to the effect that he is a member of any specified company or firm and is to be regarded as interested in any contract which may thereafter be made with that company or firm shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of interest in regard to any contract so made. A Director may vote in respect of any contract or proposed contract or arrangement notwithstanding that he may be interested therein and if he does so his vote shall be counted and he may be counted in the quorum at any meeting of the Directors at which any such contract or proposed contract or arrangement shall come before the meeting for consideration.

 

103. A Director may hold any other office or place of profit under the Company (other than the office of auditor) in conjunction with his office of Director for such period and on such terms (as to remuneration and otherwise) as the Directors may determine and no Director or intending Director shall be disqualified by his office from contracting with the Company either with regard to his tenure of any such other office or place of profit or as vendor, purchaser or otherwise, nor shall any such contract or arrangement entered into by or on behalf of the Company in which any Director is in any way interested, be liable to be avoided, nor shall any Director so contracting or being so interested be liable to account to the Company for any profit realised by any such contract or arrangement by reason of such Director holding that office or of the fiduciary relation thereby established. A Director, notwithstanding his interest, may be counted in the quorum present at any meeting of the Directors whereat he or any other Director is appointed to hold any such office or place of profit under the Company or whereat the terms of any such appointment are arranged and he may vote on any such appointment or arrangement.

 

104. 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 remuneration for professional services as if he were not a Director; provided that nothing herein contained shall authorise a Director or his firm to act as auditor to the Company.

 

105. The Directors shall cause minutes to be made in books or loose-leaf folders provided for the purpose of recording:

 

(a) all appointments of officers made by the Directors;

 

(b) the names of the Directors present at each meeting of the Directors and of any committee of the Directors; and

 

(c) all resolutions and proceedings at all meetings of the Company, and of the Directors and of committees of Directors.

 

 

 

35 

 

 

106. When the chairman of a meeting of the Directors signs the minutes of such meeting the same shall be deemed to have been duly held notwithstanding that all the Directors have not actually come together or that there may have been a technical defect in the proceedings.

 

107. A resolution signed by all the Directors entitled to receive notice of a meeting of Directors, including a resolution signed by a duly appointed alternate (subject as provided otherwise in the terms of appointment of the alternate), shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of the Directors duly called and constituted. When signed a resolution may consist of several documents each signed by one or more of the Directors or his duly appointed alternate.

 

108. The continuing Directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body but if and for 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 may act for the purpose of increasing the number, or of summoning a general meeting of the Company, but for no other purpose.

 

109. The Directors may elect a chairman of their meetings 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 fifteen minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, the Directors present may choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

 

110. Subject to any regulations imposed on it by the Directors, a committee appointed by the Directors may elect a chairman of its meetings. If no such chairman is elected, or if at any meeting the chairman is not present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, the committee members present may choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

 

111. A committee appointed by the Directors may meet and adjourn as it thinks proper. Subject to any regulations imposed on it by the Directors, questions arising at any meeting shall be determined by a majority of votes of the committee members present and in case of an equality of votes the chairman shall have a second or casting vote.

 

112. All acts done by any meeting of the Directors or of a committee of Directors, or by any Person acting as a Director, shall notwithstanding that it be afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment of any such Director or Person acting as aforesaid, or that they or any of them were disqualified, be as valid as if every such Person had been duly appointed and was qualified to be a Director.

 

DIVIDENDS

 

113. Subject to any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any Shares, the Directors may from time to time declare dividends (including interim dividends) and other distributions on Shares in issue and authorise payment of the same out of the funds of the Company lawfully available therefor.

 

114. Subject to any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any Shares, the Company by Ordinary Resolution may declare dividends, but no dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by the Directors.

 

115. The Directors may, before recommending or declaring any dividend, set aside out of the funds legally available for distribution such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall, in the absolute discretion of the Directors be applicable for meeting contingencies, or for equalising dividends or for any other purpose to which those funds may be properly applied and pending such application may in the absolute discretion of the Directors, either be employed in the business of the Company or be invested in such investments as the Directors may from time to time think fit.

 

 

 

36 

 

 

116. Any dividend may be paid in any manner as the Directors may determine. If paid by cheque it will be sent through the post to the registered address of the Shareholder or Person entitled thereto, or in the case of joint holders, to any one of such joint holders at his registered address or to such Person and such address as the Shareholder or Person entitled, or such joint holders as the case may be, may direct. Every such cheque shall be made payable to the order of the Person to whom it is sent or to the order of such other Person as the Shareholder or Person entitled, or such joint holders as the case may be, may direct.

 

117. The Directors when paying dividends to the Shareholders in accordance with the foregoing provisions of these Articles may make such payment either in cash or in specie.

 

118. Subject to any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any Shares, all dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid up on the Shares, but if and for so long as nothing is paid up on any of the Shares dividends may be declared and paid according to the par value of the Shares.

 

119. If several Persons are registered as joint holders of any Share, any of them may give effectual receipts for any dividend or other moneys payable on or in respect of the Share.

 

120. No dividend shall bear interest against the Company.

 

ACCOUNTS, AUDIT AND ANNUAL RETURN AND DECLARATION

 

121. The books of account relating to the Company's affairs shall be kept in such manner as may be determined from time to time by the Directors.

 

122. The books of account shall be kept at the Office, or at such other place or places as the Directors think fit, and shall always be open to the inspection of the Directors.

 

123. The Directors shall from time to time 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 Shareholders not being Directors, and no Shareholder (not being a Director) shall have any right of inspecting any account or book or document of the Company except as conferred by law or authorised by the Directors or by Ordinary Resolution.

 

124. The accounts relating to the Company's affairs shall only be audited if the Directors so determine, in which case the financial year end and the accounting principles will be determined by the Directors.

 

125. The Directors in each year shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, an annual return and declaration setting forth the particulars required by the Law and deliver a copy thereof to the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands.

 

CAPITALISATION OF RESERVES

 

126. Subject to the Law, the Directors may, with the authority of an Ordinary Resolution:

 

(a) resolve to capitalise an amount standing to the credit of reserves (including a Share Premium Account, capital redemption reserve and profit and loss account), whether or not available for distribution;

 

 

 

37 

 

 

(b) appropriate the sum resolved to be capitalised to the Shareholders in proportion to the nominal amount of Shares (whether or not fully paid) held by them respectively and apply that sum on their behalf in or towards:

 

(i) paying up the amounts (if any) for the time being unpaid on Shares held by them respectively, or

 

(ii) paying up in full unissued Shares or debentures of a nominal amount equal to that sum,

 

  and allot the Shares or debentures, credited as fully paid, to the Shareholders (or as they may direct) in those proportions, or partly in one way and partly in the other, but the Share Premium Account, the capital redemption reserve and profits which are not available for distribution may, for the purposes of this Article, only be applied in paying up unissued Shares to be allotted to Shareholders credited as fully paid;

 

(c) make any arrangements they think fit to resolve a difficulty arising in the distribution of a capitalised reserve and in particular, without limitation, where Shares or debentures become distributable in fractions the Directors may deal with the fractions as they think fit;

 

(d) authorise a Person to enter (on behalf of all the Shareholders concerned) into an agreement with the Company providing for either:

 

(i) the allotment to the Shareholders respectively, credited as fully paid, of Shares or debentures to which they may be entitled on the capitalisation, or

 

(ii) the payment by the Company on behalf of the Shareholders (by the application of their respective proportions of the reserves resolved to be capitalised) of the amounts or part of the amounts remaining unpaid on their existing Shares,

 

  and any such agreement made under this authority being effective and binding on all those Shareholders; and

 

(e) generally do all acts and things required to give effect to the resolution.

 

SHARE PREMIUM ACCOUNT

 

127. The Directors shall in accordance with the Law establish a Share Premium Account and shall carry to the credit of such account from time to time a sum equal to the amount or value of the premium paid on the issue of any Share.

 

128. There shall be debited to any Share Premium Account on the redemption or purchase of a Share the difference between the nominal value of such Share and the redemption or purchase price provided always that at the discretion of the Directors such sum may be paid out of the profits of the Company or, if permitted by the Law, out of capital.

 

INVESTMENT ACCOUNTS

 

129. The Directors may establish separate accounts on the books and records of the Company (each an "Investment Account") for each Class, or for more than one Class, as the case may be, and the following provisions shall apply to each Investment Account:

 

(a) the proceeds from the allotment and issue of Shares of any Class may be applied in the books of the Company to the Investment Account established for the Shares of such Class;

 

 

 

38 

 

 

(b) the assets and liabilities and income and expenditures attributable to the Shares of any Class may be applied or allocated for accounting purposes to the relevant Investment Account established for such Shares subject to these Articles;

 

(c) where any asset is derived from another asset (whether cash or otherwise), such derivative asset may be applied in the books of the Company to the Investment Account from which the related asset was derived and on each revaluation of an investment the increase or diminution in the value thereof (or the relevant portion of such increase or diminution in value) may be applied to the relevant Investment Account;

 

(d) in the case of any asset of the Company which the Directors do not consider is attributable to a particular Investment Account, the Directors shall have the discretion to determine the basis upon which any such asset shall be allocated among Investment Accounts and the Directors shall have power at any time and from time to time to vary such allocation;

 

(e) where the assets of the Company not attributable to any Investment Accounts give rise to any net profits, the Directors may allocate the assets representing such net profits to the Investment Accounts as they may determine;

 

(f) the Directors may determine the basis upon which any liability including expenses shall be allocated among Investment Accounts (including conditions as to subsequent reallocation thereof if circumstances so permit or require) and shall have power at any time and from time to time to vary such basis and charge expenses of the Company against either revenue or the capital of the Investment Accounts; and

 

(g) the Directors may in the books of the Company transfer any assets to and from Investment Accounts if, as a result of a creditor proceeding against certain of the assets of the Company or otherwise, a liability would be borne in a different manner from that in which it would have been borne under paragraph (f) above, or in any similar circumstances.

 

130. Subject to any applicable law and except as otherwise provided in these Articles the assets held in each Investment Account shall be applied solely in respect of Shares of the Class to which such Investment Account relates and no holder of Shares of a Class shall have any claim or right to any asset allocated to any other Class.

 

NOTICES

 

131. Any notice or document may be served by the Company or by the Person entitled to give notice to any Shareholder either personally, or by posting it airmail or air courier service in a prepaid letter addressed to such Shareholder at his address as appearing in the Register, or by electronic mail to any electronic mail address such Shareholder may have specified in writing for the purpose of such service of notices, or by cable, telex or facsimile should the Directors deem it appropriate. In the case of joint holders of a Share, all notices shall be given to that one of the joint holders whose name stands first in the Register in respect of the joint holding, and notice so given shall be sufficient notice to all the joint holders.

134. Any notice or document delivered or sent by post to or left at the registered address of any Shareholder in accordance with the terms of these Articles shall notwithstanding that such Shareholder be then dead or bankrupt, and whether or not the Company has notice of his death or bankruptcy, be deemed to have been duly served in respect of any Share registered in the name of such Shareholder as sole or joint holder, unless his name shall at the time of the service of the notice or document, have been removed from the Register as the holder of the Share, and such service shall for all purposes be deemed a sufficient service of such notice or document on all Persons interested (whether jointly with or as claiming through or under him) in the Share.
   
135. Notice of every general meeting of the Company shall be given to:

 

(a) all Shareholders holding Shares with the right to receive notice and who have supplied to the Company an address for the giving of notices to them; and

  No other Person shall be entitled to receive notices of general meetings.

 

INDEMNITY

 

136. Every Director (including for the purposes of this Article any alternate Director appointed pursuant to the provisions of these Articles), Secretary, assistant Secretary, or other officer for the time being and from time to time of the Company (but not including the Company's auditors) and the personal representatives of the same (each an "Indemnified Person") shall be indemnified and secured harmless out of the assets and funds of the Company against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by such Indemnified Person, other than by reason of such Indemnified Person's own dishonesty, wilful default or fraud, in or about the conduct of the Company's business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of his duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Person in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning the Company or its affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.

 

 

 

40 

 

 

137. No Indemnified Person shall be liable:

 

(a) for the acts, receipts, neglects, defaults or omissions of any other Director or officer or agent of the Company; or

 

(b) for any loss on account of defect of title to any property of the Company; or

 

(c) on account of the insufficiency of any security in or upon which any money of the Company shall be invested; or

 

(d) for any loss incurred through any bank, broker or other similar Person; or

  unless the same shall happen through such Indemnified Person's own dishonesty, wilful default or fraud.

 

NON-RECOGNITION OF TRUSTS

 

138. Subject to the proviso hereto, no Person shall be recognised by the Company as holding any Share upon any trust and the Company shall not, unless required by law, be bound by or be compelled in any way to recognise (even when having notice thereof) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share or (except only as otherwise provided by these Articles or as the Law requires) any other right in respect of any Share except an absolute right to the entirety thereof in each Shareholder registered in the Register, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be entitled to recognise any such interests as shall be determined by the Directors in their absolute discretion.

 

WINDING- UP

 

139. If the Company shall be wound up, the liquidator may, with the sanction of an Ordinary Resolution divide amongst the Shareholders in specie or kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether they shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may, for such purpose set such value as he deems fair upon any property to be divided as aforesaid and may determine how such division shall be carried out as between the Shareholders or different Classes. 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 Shareholders as the liquidator, with the like sanction shall think fit, but so that no Shareholder shall be compelled to accept any asset whereon there is any liability.

 

AMENDMENT OF ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

 

140. Subject to the Law and the rights attaching to the various Classes, the Company may at any time and from time to time by Special Resolution alter or amend these Articles in whole or in part.

 

CLOSING OF REGISTER OR FIXING RECORD DATE

 

141. For the purpose of determining those Shareholders that are entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at any meeting of Shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or those Shareholders that are entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination as to who is a Shareholder for any other purpose, the Directors may provide that the Register shall be closed for transfers for a stated period which shall not exceed in any case 40 days. If the Register shall be so closed for the purpose of determining those Shareholders that are entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at a meeting of Shareholders the Register shall be so closed for at least ten days immediately preceding such meeting and the record date for such determination shall be the date of the closure of the Register.

 

 

 

41 

 

 

142. In lieu of or apart from closing the Register, the Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of those Shareholders that are entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at a meeting of the Shareholders and for the purpose of determining those Shareholders that are entitled to receive payment of any dividend the Directors may, at or within 90 days prior to the date of declaration of such dividend, fix a subsequent date as the record date for such determination.

 

143. If the Register is not so closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of those Shareholders entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at a meeting of Shareholders or those Shareholders that are entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is posted 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 Shareholders. When a determination of those Shareholders that are entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at a meeting of Shareholders has been made as provided in this Article, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

 

REGISTRATION BY WAY OF CONTINUATION

 

144. The Company may by Special Resolution resolve to be registered by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands or such other jurisdiction in which it is for the time being incorporated, registered or existing. In furtherance of a resolution adopted pursuant to this Article, the Directors may cause an application to be made to the Registrar of Companies to deregister the Company in the Cayman Islands or such other jurisdiction in which it is for the time being incorporated, registered or existing and may cause all such further steps as they consider appropriate to be taken to effect the transfer by way of continuation of the Company.

Directors' general authority Subject to the articles, the directors are responsible for the management of the company's business, for which purpose they may exercise all the powers of the company. 4. Shareholders' reserve power and effect of altering the articles (1) The shareholders may, by special resolution, direct the directors to take, or refrain from taking, specified action. (2) No such special resolution invalidates anything which the directors have done before the passing of the resolution. (3) No alteration of the articles invalidates anything which the directors have done before the alteration was made. 5. Directors may delegate (1) Subject to the articles, the directors may delegate any of the powers which are conferred on them under the articles: (a) to such person or committee; (b) by such means (including by power of attorney); (c) to such an extent; (d) in relation to such matters or territories; and (e) on such terms and conditions; as they think fit. (2) If the directors so specify, any such delegation may authorise further delegation of the directors' powers by any person to whom they are delegated. (3) Where a provision in the articles refers to the exercise of a power, authority or discretion by the directors and that power, authority or discretion has been delegated by the directors to a committee, the provision shall be construed as permitting the exercise of the power, authority or discretion by the committee. (4) The directors may revoke any delegation in whole or part, or alter its terms and conditions.

9 6. Committees (1) Committees to which the directors delegate any of their powers must follow procedures which are based as far as they are applicable on those provisions of the articles which govern the taking of decisions by directors. (2) The directors may make rules of procedure for all or any committees, which prevail over rules derived from the articles if they are not consistent with them. Decision-Making by Directors 7. Directors to take decisions collectively (1) The general rule about decision-making by directors is that any decision of the directors must be either a majority decision at a meeting or a decision taken in accordance with article 8. (2) If: (a) the company only has one director, and (b) no provision of the articles requires it to have more than one director, the general rule does not apply, and the director may (for so long as he remains the sole director) take decisions without regard to any of the provisions of the articles relating to directors' decision-making. For the purpose of article 11, the quorum for the transaction of business by a sole director is one, and all other provisions of the articles apply with any necessary modification (unless a provision expressly provides otherwise). (3) If only one director is eligible to vote on any authorisation required under article 15, the general rule does not apply, and the eligible director may take decisions in relation to the relevant matter without regard to any of the provisions of the articles relating to directors’ decision-making. 8. Unanimous decisions (1) A decision of the directors is taken in accordance with this article when all eligible directors indicate to each other by any means that they share a common view on a matter. If an alternate director indicates that he shares the common view, his appointor need not also indicate his agreement. (2) Such a decision may take the form of a resolution in writing, at least one copy of which has been signed by each eligible director or to which each eligible director has otherwise indicated agreement in writing. A resolution signed by an alternate director need not also be signed by or agreed to by his appointor. (3) References in this article to eligible directors are to directors who would have been entitled to vote on the matter and whose vote would have been counted had it been proposed as a resolution at a directors' meeting.

GRAPHIC

10 (4) A decision may not be taken in accordance with this article if the eligible directors would not have formed a quorum at such a meeting. 9. Calling a directors' meeting (1) Any director may call a directors' meeting by giving notice of the meeting to the directors or by authorising the company secretary (if any) to give such notice. (2) Notice of any directors' meeting must indicate: (a) its proposed date and time; (b) where it is to take place; and (c) if it is anticipated that directors participating in the meeting will not be in the same place, how it is proposed that they should communicate with each other during the meeting. (3) Notice of a directors' meeting must be given to each director, but need not be in writing. (4) Notice of a directors' meeting need not be given to directors who waive their entitlement to notice of that meeting, by giving notice to that effect to the company either before or after the date on which the meeting is held. Where such notice is given after the meeting has been held, that does not affect the validity of the meeting, or of any business conducted at it. 10. Participation in directors' meetings (1) Subject to the articles, directors “participate” in a directors' meeting, or part of a directors' meeting, when: (a) the meeting has been called and takes place in accordance with the articles, and (b) they can each communicate to the others any information or opinions they have on any particular item of the business of the meeting. (2) In determining whether directors are participating in a directors' meeting, it is irrelevant where any director is or how they communicate with each other. (3) If all the directors participating in a meeting are not in the same place, they may decide that the meeting is to be treated as taking place wherever any of them is. 11. Quorum for directors' meetings (1) At a directors' meeting, unless a quorum is participating, no proposal is to be voted on, except a proposal to call another meeting.

GRAPHIC

11 (2) Subject always to articles 7(2) and 7(3), the quorum for directors' meetings may be fixed from time to time by a decision of the directors, but it must never be less than two, and unless otherwise fixed it is two. (3) Subject always to article 7(2), if the total number of directors for the time being in office is less than the quorum required, the directors must not take any decision other than a decision: (a) to appoint further directors, or (b) to call a general meeting so as to enable the shareholders to appoint further directors. 12. Chairing of directors' meetings (1) The directors may appoint a director to chair their meetings. (2) The person so appointed for the time being is known as the “chairman”. (3) The directors may terminate the chairman's appointment at any time. (4) If the chairman is not participating in a directors' meeting within ten minutes of the time at which it was to start, the participating directors may appoint one of themselves to chair it. 13. Casting vote (1) If the numbers of votes at a meeting of directors for and against a proposal are equal (ignoring any votes which are to be discounted in accordance with the articles or the Companies Acts), the chairman or other director chairing the meeting has a casting vote. (2) Article 13(1) does not apply in respect of a particular meeting (or part of a meeting) if, in accordance with the articles, the chairman or other director is not to be counted as participating in the decision-making process for quorum or voting purposes. 14. Transactions or arrangements with the company (1) Provided that he has disclosed to the directors the nature and extent of any interest of his in accordance with and to the extent required by the Companies Acts, a director notwithstanding his office: (a) may be a party to, or otherwise interested in, any contract with the company or in which the company is otherwise interested; (b) may be a director or other officer of, or employed by, or a party to any contract with, or otherwise interested in, any group company or in any body corporate promoted by the company or any group company or in which the company or any group company is interested;

GRAPHIC

12 (c) may act by himself or his firm in a professional capacity for the company (otherwise than as auditor). (2) For the purposes of this article: (a) a director shall be deemed to have disclosed the nature and extent of an interest which consists of him being a director, officer or employee of any group company; and (b) a general notice given to the directors that a director is to be regarded as having an interest of the nature and extent specified in the notice in any contract in which a specified person or class of persons is interested shall be deemed to be a disclosure that the director has an interest in any such contract of the nature and extent so specified. (3) Where a director is a director or other officer of, or employed by, a group company, he: (a) may in exercising his independent judgement take into account the success of other group companies as well as the success of the company; and (b) shall in the exercise of his duties, where that other group company is a parent company, have a duty of confidentiality to the parent company in relation to confidential information of the parent company, but he shall not be restricted by any duty of confidentiality to the company from providing information to any parent company. 15. Conflicts of interest requiring board authorisation (1) The directors may, subject to the quorum and voting requirements set out in the articles, authorise any matter which would otherwise involve a director breaching his duty under the Companies Acts to avoid conflicts of interest (“Conflict”). (2) Any director (including the relevant director) may propose that the relevant director be authorised in relation to any matter the subject of a Conflict. Such proposal and any authority given by the directors shall be effected in the same way that any other matter may be proposed to and decided upon by the directors under the provisions of the articles save that the relevant director shall not count towards the quorum nor vote on any resolution giving such authority and save further that if there are insufficient directors eligible to vote and therefore to form a quorum, article 7(3) will apply. (3) Where the directors give authority in relation to a Conflict: (a) the terms of the authority shall be recorded in writing (but the authority shall be effective whether or not the terms are so recorded); and (b) the directors may revoke or vary such authority at any time but this will not affect anything done by the relevant director prior to such revocation or variation in accordance with the terms of such authority.

GRAPHIC

13 (4) Where the directors give authority in relation to a Conflict or where any of the situations referred to in article 14(1) (“Permitted Situation”) applies: (a) the directors may (whether at the relevant time or subsequently) (i) require that the relevant director is excluded from the receipt of information, the participation in discussion and/or the making of decisions (whether at meetings of the directors or otherwise) related to the Conflict or Permitted Situation; and (ii) impose upon the relevant director such other terms for the purpose of dealing with the Conflict as it may determine; (b) the relevant director will be obliged to conduct himself in accordance with any terms imposed by the board in relation to the Conflict or Permitted Situation; and (c) the directors may provide that where the relevant director obtains (otherwise than through his position as a director of the company) information that is confidential to a third party, the director will not be obliged to disclose that information to the company, or to use or apply the information in relation to the company’s affairs, where to do so would amount to a breach of that confidence. (5) A director shall not, by reason of his office or of the fiduciary relationship thereby established, be liable to account to the company or the members for any remuneration, profit or other benefit realised by reason of his having any type of interest in a Conflict authorised under this article or in any Permitted Situation and no contract shall be liable to be avoided on the grounds of a director having any such interest. 16. Directors May Vote When Interested (1) Subject where applicable to disclosure in accordance with the Companies Acts or the articles and subject to any terms imposed by the directors in relation to any Conflict or Permitted Situation, a director shall be entitled to vote in respect of any matter in which he is interested directly or indirectly and if he shall do so his vote shall be counted and, whether or not he does, his presence at the meeting he shall be taken into account in ascertaining whether a quorum is present. (2) Subject to paragraph (3), if a question arises at a meeting of directors or of a committee of directors as to the right of a director to participate in the meeting (or part of the meeting) for voting or quorum purposes, the question may, before the conclusion of the meeting, be referred to the chairman whose ruling in relation to any director other than the chairman is to be final and conclusive. (3) If any question as to the right to participate in the meeting (or part of the meeting) should arise in respect of the chairman, the question is to be decided by a decision of the directors at that meeting, for which purpose the chairman is not to be counted as participating in the meeting (or that part of the meeting) for voting or quorum purposes. 17. Records of decisions to be kept The directors must ensure that the company keeps a record, in writing, for at least 10 years from the date of the decision recorded, of every unanimous or majority decision taken by the directors.

GRAPHIC

14 18. Directors' discretion to make further rules Subject to the articles, the directors may make any rule which they think fit about how they take decisions, and about how such rules are to be recorded or communicated to directors. 19. Change of name The company may change its name by a decision of the directors. Appointment of Directors 20. Methods of appointing directors (1) Any person who is willing to act as a director, and is permitted by law to do so, may be appointed to be a director-- (a) by ordinary resolution, (b) by a decision of the directors; or (c) by a notice of his appointment given in accordance with Article 22. (2) In any case where, as a result of death, bankruptcy or other events, the company has no shareholders and no directors, the transmittee(s) of the last shareholder have the right, by notice in writing, to appoint one or more persons to be a director. (3) For the purposes of paragraph (2), where 2 or more shareholders die in circumstances rendering it uncertain who was the last to die, a younger shareholder is deemed to have survived an older shareholder. 21. Termination of director's appointment A person ceases to be a director as soon as: (a) that person ceases to be a director by virtue of any provision of the Companies Act 2006 or is prohibited from being a director by law; (b) a bankruptcy order is made against that person; (c) a composition is made with that person's creditors generally in satisfaction of that person's debts; (d) a registered medical practitioner who is treating that person gives a written opinion to the company stating that that person has become physically or mentally incapable of acting as a director and may remain so for more than three months;

15 (e) notification is received by the company from the director that the director is resigning from office, and such resignation has taken effect in accordance with its terms; (f) that person has for more than six consecutive months been absent without permission of the directors from meetings of directors held during that period and the directors resolve that that person should cease to be director; or (g) notice of his removal is given in accordance with Article 22. 22. Appointment and removal of directors by majority shareholders A shareholder or shareholders holding a majority in nominal value of the issued shares may by notice in writing signed by or on behalf of him or them and delivered to the registered office or tendered at a meeting of the directors or at a general meeting of the company at any time and from time to time appoint any person who is willing to act, and is permitted by law to do so, to be a director (either to fill a vacancy or as an additional director) or remove any director from office (no matter how he was appointed). The appointment or removal takes effect immediately on deposit of the notice or on such later date (if any) specified in the notice. 23. Directors' remuneration (1) Directors may undertake any services for the company that the directors decide.

(3) Subject to the articles, a director's remuneration may take any form. (4) Unless the directors decide otherwise, directors' remuneration accrues from day to day. (5) Directors are not accountable to the company for any remuneration which they receive as directors or other officers or employees of the company, any group company or any other body corporate in which the company is interested, and the receipt of such benefit shall not disqualify any person from being a director of the company. (6) The directors may provide benefits, whether by the payment of a pension, allowance or gratuities, or any death, sickness or disability benefits or by insurance or otherwise, for any director or former director who holds or has held any office or employment with the company, predecessor in business of the company or with any undertaking which is or has been a group company and for any member of his family (including a spouse or former spouse) or any person who is or was dependent on him, and may (before as well as after he ceases to hold such office or employment) contribute to any fund and pay premiums for the purchase or provision of any such benefit.

(2) Subject to the Companies Acts, the directors shall have power to make arrangements to provide a director with funds to meet expenditure incurred or to be incurred by him for the purpose of the company or for the purpose of enabling him properly to perform his duties as an officer of the company or to avoid him incurring any such expenditure. Alternate Directors 25. Appointment and removal of alternate directors (1) Any director (other than an alternate director) (the “appointor”) may appoint as an alternate any other director, or any other person approved by resolution of the directors, to: (a) exercise that director’s powers, and (b) carry out that director’s responsibilities, in relation to the taking of decisions by the directors in the absence of the alternate’s appointor (such person known as an “alternate director”).

17 26. Rights and responsibilities of alternate directors (1) An alternate director has the same rights, in relation to any directors' meeting and all meetings of committees of directors of which his appointor is a member or directors' written resolutions, as the alternate's appointor. (2) Except as the articles specify otherwise, alternate directors: (a) are deemed for all purposes to be directors; (b) are liable for their own acts and omissions; (c) are subject to the same restrictions as their appointor; and (d) are not deemed to be agents of or for their appointor. (3) Subject to the articles, a person who is an alternate director but not also a director: (a) may be counted as participating for the purposes of determining whether a quorum is participating (but only if that person's appointor is not participating), and (b) may sign or otherwise indicate his agreement to a written resolution (but only if it is not signed or to be signed or otherwise agreed by that person's appointor).

All shares to be fully paid (1) No share is to be issued for less than the aggregate of its nominal value and any premium to be paid to the company in consideration for its issue. (2) This does not apply to shares taken on the formation of the company by the subscribers to the company's memorandum. 29. Powers to issue different classes of share (1) Subject to the articles, but without prejudice to the rights attached to any existing share, the company may issue further classes of shares with such rights or restrictions as may be determined by ordinary resolution or, if no such resolution has been passed or so far as the resolution does not make specific provision, as the directors may decide.

GRAPHIC

19 32. Purchase of own shares The company may purchase its own shares in any way provided for by the Companies Acts. 33. Company not bound by less than absolute interests Except as required by law, no person is to be recognised by the company as holding any share upon any trust, and except as otherwise required by law or the articles, the company is not in any way to be bound by or recognise any interest in a share other than the holder's absolute ownership of it and all the rights attaching to it. 34. Share certificates (1) The company must issue each shareholder, free of charge, with one or more certificates in respect of the shares which that shareholder holds. (2) Every certificate must specify: (a) in respect of how many shares, of what class, it is issued; (b) the nominal value of those shares; (c) that the shares are fully paid; and (d) any distinguishing numbers assigned to them. (3) No certificate may be issued in respect of shares of more than one class. (4) If more than one person holds a share, only one certificate may be issued in respect of it. (5) Certificates must: (a) have affixed to them the company's common seal, or (b) be otherwise executed in accordance with the Companies Acts. 35. Replacement share certificates (1) If a certificate issued in respect of a shareholder's shares is: (a) damaged or defaced, or (b) said to be lost, stolen or destroyed, that shareholder is entitled to be issued with a replacement certificate in respect of the same shares. (2) A shareholder exercising the right to be issued with such a replacement certificate:

GRAPHIC

20 (a) may at the same time exercise the right to be issued with a single certificate or separate certificates; (b) must return the certificate which is to be replaced to the company if it is damaged or defaced; and (c) must comply with such conditions as to evidence, indemnity and the payment of a reasonable fee as the directors decide. 36. Share transfers (1) Shares may be transferred by means of an instrument of transfer in any usual form or any other form approved by the directors, which is executed by or on behalf of the transferor. (2) No fee may be charged for registering any instrument of transfer or other document relating to or affecting the title to any share. (3) The company may retain any instrument of transfer which is registered. (4) The transferor remains the holder of a share until the transferee's name is entered in the register of members as holder of it. 37. Transmission of shares (1) If title to a share passes to a transmittee, the company may only recognise the transmittee as having any title to that share. (2) Subject to article 37(3), a transmittee who produces such evidence of entitlement to shares as the directors may properly require: (a) may, subject to the articles, choose either to become the holder of those shares or to have them transferred to another person, and (b) subject to the articles, and pending any transfer of the shares to another person, has the same rights as the holder from whom the transmittee derived such entitlement had. (3) Transmittees do not have the right to attend or vote at a general meeting, or agree to a proposed written resolution, in respect of shares to which they are entitled, by reason of the event which gave rise to the transmission, unless they become the holders of those shares. 38. Exercise of transmittees' rights (1) Transmittees who wish to become the holders of shares to which they have become entitled must notify the company in writing of that wish. (2) If the transmittee wishes to have a share transferred to another person, the transmittee must execute an instrument of transfer in respect of it.

GRAPHIC

21 (3) Any transfer made or executed under this article is to be treated as if it were made or executed by the person from whom the transmittee has derived rights in respect of the share, and as if the event which gave rise to the transmission had not occurred. 39. Transmittees bound by prior notices If a notice is given to a shareholder in respect of shares and a transmittee (or any person nominated under article 37(2)) is entitled to those shares, the transmittee (and any person nominated under article 37(2)) is bound by the notice if it was given to the shareholder before the transmittee's name has been entered in the register of members. Dividends and Other Distributions 40. Procedure for declaring dividends (1) The company may by ordinary resolution declare dividends, and the directors may decide to pay interim dividends. (2) A dividend must not be declared unless the directors have made a recommendation as to its amount. Such a dividend must not exceed the amount recommended by the directors. (3) No dividend may be declared or paid unless it is in accordance with shareholders' respective rights. (4) Unless the shareholders' resolution to declare or directors' decision to pay a dividend, or the terms on which shares are issued, specify otherwise, it must be paid by reference to each shareholder's holding of shares in the class in respect of which the dividend is paid on the date of the resolution or decision to declare or pay it. All dividends shall be apportioned and paid proportionately to the amounts paid up on the shares during any portion or portions of the period in respect of which the dividend is paid; but if any share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for dividend as from a particular date, that share shall rank for dividend accordingly. (5) If the company's share capital is divided into different classes, no interim dividend may be paid on shares carrying deferred or non-preferred rights if, at the time of payment, any preferential dividend is in arrear. (6) The directors may pay at intervals any dividend payable at a fixed rate if it appears to them that the profits available for distribution justify the payment. (7) If the directors act in good faith, they do not incur any liability to the holders of shares conferring preferred rights for any loss they may suffer by the lawful payment of an interim dividend on shares with deferred or non-preferred rights. 41. Payment of dividends and other distributions (1) Where a dividend or other sum which is a distribution is payable in respect of a share, it must be paid by one or more of the following means:

GRAPHIC

22 (a) transfer to a bank or building society account specified by the distribution recipient either in writing or as the directors may otherwise decide; (b) sending a cheque made payable to the distribution recipient by post to the distribution recipient at the distribution recipient's registered address (if the distribution recipient is a holder of the share), or (in any other case) to an address specified by the distribution recipient either in writing or as the directors may otherwise decide; (c) sending a cheque made payable to such person by post to such person at such address as the distribution recipient has specified either in writing or as the directors may otherwise decide; or (d) any other means of payment as the directors agree with the distribution recipient either in writing or by such other means as the directors decide. (2) In the articles, "the distribution recipient" means, in respect of a share in respect of which a dividend or other sum is payable: (a) the holder of the share; or (b) if the share has two or more joint holders, whichever of them is named first in the register of members; or (c) if the holder is no longer entitled to the share by reason of death or bankruptcy, or otherwise by operation of law, the transmittee. 42. No interest on distributions The company may not pay interest on any dividend or other sum payable in respect of a share unless otherwise provided by: (a) the terms on which the share was issued, or (b) the provisions of another agreement between the holder of that share and the company. 43. Unclaimed distributions (1) All dividends or other sums which are: (a) payable in respect of shares, and (b) unclaimed after having been declared or become payable, may be invested or otherwise made use of by the directors for the benefit of the company until claimed. (2) The payment of any such dividend or other sum into a separate account does not make the company a trustee in respect of it.

GRAPHIC

23 (3) If-: (a) twelve years have passed from the date on which a dividend or other sum became due for payment, and (b) the distribution recipient has not claimed it, the distribution recipient is no longer entitled to that dividend or other sum and it ceases to remain owing by the company. 44. Non-cash distributions (1) Subject to the terms of issue of the share in question, the company may, by ordinary resolution on the recommendation of the directors or by a decision of the directors, decide to pay all or part of a dividend or other distribution payable in respect of a share by transferring non-cash assets of equivalent value (including, without limitation, shares or other securities in any company). (2) For the purposes of paying a non-cash distribution, the directors may make whatever arrangements they think fit, including, where any difficulty arises regarding the distribution: (a) fixing the value of any assets; (b) paying cash to any distribution recipient on the basis of that value in order to adjust the rights of recipients; and (c) vesting any assets in trustees. 45. Waiver of distributions Distribution recipients may waive their entitlement to a dividend or other distribution payable in respect of a share by giving the company notice in writing to that effect, but if: (a) the share has more than one holder, or (b) more than one person is entitled to the share, whether by reason of the death or bankruptcy of one or more joint holders, or otherwise, the notice is not effective unless it is expressed to be given, and signed, by all the holders or persons otherwise entitled to the share. 46. Distribution in specie on winding up If the company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution of the company and any other sanction required by law, divide among the shareholders in specie the whole or any part of the assets of the company and may, for that purpose, value any assets and determine how the division shall be carried out as between the shareholders or different classes of shareholders. The liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest the whole or any part of the assets in trustees upon such trusts for the

GRAPHIC

24 benefit of the shareholders as he with the like sanction determines, but no member shall be compelled to accept any assets upon which there is a liability. Capitalisation of Profits 47. Authority to capitalise and appropriation of capitalised sums (1) Subject to the articles, the directors may, if they are so authorised by an ordinary resolution: (a) decide to capitalise any profits of the company (whether or not they are available for distribution) which are not required for paying a preferential dividend, or any sum standing to the credit of any of the company's reserves or funds, including but not limited to the share premium account, capital redemption reserve, merger reserve or revaluation reserve; and (b) appropriate any sum which they so decide to capitalise (a "capitalised sum") to the persons who would have been entitled to it if it were distributed by way of dividend (the "persons entitled") and in the same proportions. (2) Capitalised sums must be applied: (a) on behalf of the persons entitled, and (b) in the same proportions as a dividend would have been distributed to them. (3) Any capitalised sum may be applied in paying up new shares of a nominal amount equal to the capitalised sum which are then allotted credited as fully paid to the persons entitled or as they may direct. (4) A capitalised sum which was appropriated from profits available for distribution may be applied in paying up new debentures of the company which are then allotted credited as fully paid to the persons entitled or as they may direct. (5) Subject to the articles the directors may: (a) apply capitalised sums in accordance with paragraphs (3) and (4) partly in one way and partly in another; (b) make such arrangements as they think fit to deal with shares or debentures becoming distributable in fractions under this article (including the issuing of fractional certificates or the making of cash payments); and (c) authorise any person to enter into an agreement with the company on behalf of all the persons entitled which is binding on them in respect of the allotment of shares and debentures to them under this article.

(2) The chairman of the meeting may adjourn a general meeting at which a quorum is present if: (a) the meeting consents to an adjournment, or (b) it appears to the chairman of the meeting that an adjournment is necessary to protect the safety of any person attending the meeting or ensure that the business of the meeting is conducted in an orderly manner. (3) The chairman of the meeting must adjourn a general meeting if directed to do so by the meeting. (4) When adjourning a general meeting, the chairman of the meeting must: (a) either specify the time and place to which it is adjourned or state that it is to continue at a time and place to be fixed by the directors; and (b) have regard to any directions as to the time and place of any adjournment which have been given by the meeting.

27 (6) No business may be transacted at an adjourned general meeting which could not properly have been transacted at the meeting if the adjournment had not taken place. Voting at General Meetings 53. Voting: general A resolution put to the vote of a general meeting must be decided on a show of hands unless a poll is duly demanded in accordance with the articles. 54. Errors and disputes (1) No objection may be raised to the qualification of any person voting at a general meeting except at the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the vote objected to is tendered, and every vote not disallowed at the meeting is valid. (2) Any such objection must be referred to the chairman of the meeting, whose decision is final. 55. Poll votes (1) A poll on a resolution may be demanded: (a) in advance of the general meeting where it is to be put to the vote, or (b) at a general meeting, either before a show of hands on that resolution or immediately after the result of a show of hands on that resolution is declared. (2) A poll may be demanded by: (a) the chairman of the meeting; (b) the directors; (c) two or more persons having the right to vote on the resolution; (d) a person or persons representing not less than one tenth of the total voting rights of all the shareholders having the right to vote on the resolution; or (e) a person or persons holding shares in the company conferring a right to vote on the resolution, being shares on which an aggregate sum has been paid up equal to not less than 10% of the total sum paid up on all the shares conferring that right. A demand for a poll by a proxy counts, for the purposes of paragraph (c) above, as a demand by a member, for the purposes of paragraph (d) above, as a demand by a member representing the voting rights that the proxy is authorised to exercise, and, for the purposes of paragraph (e) above, as a demand by a member holding the shares to which those rights are attached.

GRAPHIC

28 (3) A demand for a poll may be withdrawn if: (a) the poll has not yet been taken, and (b) the chairman of the meeting consents to the withdrawal. (4) Polls must be taken immediately and in such manner as the chairman of the meeting directs. 56. Content of proxy notices (1) Proxies may only validly be appointed by a notice in writing (a "proxy notice") which: (a) states the name and address of the shareholder appointing the proxy; (b) identifies the person appointed to be that shareholder's proxy and the general meeting in relation to which that person is appointed; (c) is signed by or on behalf of the shareholder appointing the proxy, or is authenticated in such manner as the directors may determine; and (d) is delivered to the company in accordance with the articles and any instructions contained in the notice of the general meeting (or adjourned meeting) to which they relate. (2) The company may require proxy notices to be delivered in a particular form, and may specify different forms for different purposes. (3) Proxy notices may specify how the proxy appointed under them is to vote (or that the proxy is to abstain from voting) on one or more resolutions. (4) Unless a proxy notice indicates otherwise, it must be treated as: (a) allowing the person appointed under it as a proxy discretion as to how to vote on any ancillary or procedural resolutions put to the meeting, and (b) appointing that person as a proxy in relation to any adjournment of the general meeting to which it relates as well as the meeting itself. 57. Delivery of proxy notices (1) A person who is entitled to attend, speak or vote (either on a show of hands or on a poll) at a general meeting remains so entitled in respect of that meeting or any adjournment of it, even though a valid proxy notice has been delivered to the company by or on behalf of that person. (2) An appointment under a proxy notice may be revoked by delivering to the company a notice in writing given by or on behalf of the person by whom or on whose behalf the proxy notice was given.

GRAPHIC

29 (3) A notice revoking a proxy appointment only takes effect if it is delivered before the start of the meeting or adjourned meeting to which it relates. (4) The directors may require the production of any evidence which they consider necessary to determine the validity of any proxy notice. 58. Amendments to resolutions (1) An ordinary resolution to be proposed at a general meeting may be amended by ordinary resolution if: (a) notice of the proposed amendment is given to the company in writing by a person entitled to vote at the general meeting at which it is to be proposed not less than 48 hours before the meeting is to take place (or such later time as the chairman of the meeting may determine), and (b) the proposed amendment does not, in the reasonable opinion of the chairman of the meeting, materially alter the scope of the resolution. (2) A special resolution to be proposed at a general meeting may be amended by ordinary resolution, if: (a) the chairman of the meeting proposes the amendment at the general meeting at which the resolution is to be proposed, and (b) the amendment does not go beyond what is necessary to correct a grammatical or other non-substantive error in the resolution. (3) If the chairman of the meeting, acting in good faith, wrongly decides that an amendment to a resolution is out of order, the chairman's error does not invalidate the vote on that resolution. 59. Class meetings The provisions of the articles relating to general meetings shall apply, with any necessary modifications, to any separate general meeting of the holders of shares of a class. For this purpose, a general meeting at which no holder of a share other than an ordinary share may, in his capacity as a member, attend or vote shall also constitute a separate general meeting of the holders of the ordinary shares.

If notice has been validly given pursuant to this Article 68(4) but the New Member does not immediately transfer to his or her spouse or civil partner the Post-Scheme Shares in respect of which notice was given, such shares will be transferred to the Purchaser and/or its nominee(s) pursuant to Article 68(3) above.

Unless and except to the extent that the bylaws of the Corporation shall so require, the election of directors of the Corporation need not be by written ballot. SIXTH. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by the laws of the State of Delaware, the Board of Directors of the Corporation is expressly authorized to make, alter and repeal the bylaws of the Corporation. SEVENTH. Section I . Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she is the legal representative, is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or officer or in any other capacity while serving or having agreed to serve as a director or officer, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law pennitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expense, liability llOUDMS/312042.3

GRAPHIC

and loss (including without limitation, attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled such person to indemnity hereunder and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding ( or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding ( or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article Seventh shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the DGCL requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a current, former or proposed director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer or proposed director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is or has been agreed to be rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such indemnified person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such indemnified person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article Seventh or otherwise. Section 2. Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may, by action of the Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation, individually or as a group, with the same scope and effect as the indemnification of directors and officers provided for in this Article Seventh. Section 3. Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a written claim received by the Corporation from or on behalf of an indemnified party under this Article Seventh is not paid in full by the Corporation within ninety days after such receipt (thirty days in the case of a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation), the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action ( other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. Section 4. Nonexclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this Article Seventh shall not be exclusive of any other IIOUDMS/312042.3

GRAPHIC

right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any law (common or statutory), provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Section 5. Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any person who is or was serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL. Section 6. Savings Clause. If this Article Seventh or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each director and officer of the Corporation, as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article Seventh that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Section 7. Definitions. For purposes of this Article Seventh, reference to the "Corporation" shall include, in addition to the Corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger prior to ( or, in the case of an entity specifically designated in a resolution of the Board of Directors, after) the adoption of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had the power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article Seventh with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. Nothing contained herein shall affect any rights to indemnification to which any person may be entitled by law. No amendment or repeal of this Article Seventh shall apply to or have any effect on any right to indemnification provided hereunder with respect to any acts or omissions occurring prior to such amendment or repeal. EIGHTH. No director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. If the DGCL is hereafter amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this Article Eighth shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof. 16. If a sum called in respect of a Share is not paid before or on the day appointed for payment thereof the person from whom the sum is due shall pay interest upon the sum at the rate of five per cent per annum from the day appointed for the payment thereof lo the lime of the actual payment but the Directors shall be at liberty to waive payment of that interest wholly or in part. 17. The provisions of these regulations as to the liability of joint holders and as to payment of interest shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which by the terms of issue of a Share becomes payable at a fixed lime whether on account of the amount of the Share or by way of premium as if the same had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified. 18. The Directors may make arrangements on the issue of Shares for difference between the holders in the amount of calls to be paid and in limes of payment. 19. The Directors may if they think fit receive from any Member willing to advance the same all or any part of the moneys uncalled and unpaid upon any Shares held by him and upon all or any of the moneys so advanced may (until the same would but for such advance become presently payable) pay interest at such rate (not exceeding without the sanction of the Company in general meeting six per cent) as may be agreed upon between the Member paying the sum in advance and the Directors. TRANSFER AND TRANSMISSION OF SHARES 20. The instrument of transfer of any Share shall be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and transferee and the transferor shall be deemed to remain a holder of the Share until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register in respect thereof. 21. Shares shall be transferred in any usual or common form which the Directors shall approve. 22. No Share may be transferred to any person or company without the approval of the Directors.

GRAPHIC

properly required by the Directors have the right either to be registered as a Member in respect of the Share or instead of being registered himself to make such transfer of the Share as the deceased or bankrupt person could have made but the Directors 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 the deceased or bankrupt person before the death or bankruptcy. 25. A person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy of the holder 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. FORFEITURE OF SHARES 26. If a Member fails to pay any call or instalment of a call on the day appointed for payment thereof the Directors may at any time thereafter during such time as any part of such call or instalment remains unpaid serve a notice on him requiring payment of so much of the call or instalment as is unpaid together with any interest which may have accrued. 27. The notice shall name a further day (not earlier than the expiration of fourteen days from the date of the notice) on or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made and shall state that in the event of non-payment at or before the time appointed the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited. 28. If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with any Share in respect of which the notice has been given may at any time thereafter before the payment required by the notice has been made be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors to that effect. 29. A forfeited Share may be sold or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit and at any time before a sale or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit. 30. A person whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of the forfeited Shares but shall notwithstanding remain liable to pay to the Company all moneys which at the date of forfeiture were presently payable by him to the Company in respect of the Shares but his liability shall cease if and when the Company receives payment in full of the nominal amount of the Shares. 31. A statutory declaration in writing that the declarant is a Director of the Company and that a Share in the Company has been duly forfeited on a date stated in the declaration shall be conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. The Company may receive the consideration (if any) given for the Share on any sale or disposition thereof and may execute a transfer of the Share in favour of the person to whom the Share is sold or disposed of and he shall thereupon be registered as the holder of the Share 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 irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture sale or disposal of the Share. 32. The provisions of these regulations as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non­ payment of any sum which by the terms of issue of a Share becomes payable at a 16

GRAPHIC

fixed time whether on account of the amount of the Share or by way of premium as if the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified. CONVERSION OF SHARES INTO STOCK 33. The Company may by ordinary resolution convert any paid up Shares into stock and reconvert any stock into paid-up Shares of any denomination. 34. The holders of stock may transfer the same or part thereof 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 admit but the Directors may from time to time fix the minimum amount of stock transferable and restrict or forbid the transfer of fractions of that minimum but the minimum shall not exceed the nominal amount of the Shares from which the stock arose. 35. The holders of stock shall according to the amount of the stock held by them have the same rights privileges and advantages as regards Dividends voting at meetings of the Company and other matters as if they held Shares from which the stock arose but no such privilege or advantage (except participation in the Dividends and profits of the Company) shall be conferred by any such aliquot part of stock as would not if existing in Shares have conferred that privilege or advantage. 36. Such of the regulations of the Company as are applicable to paid-up Shares shall apply to stock and the words "share" and "shareholder" therein shall include "stock" and "stockholder." ALTERATION OF CAPITAL 37. The Company may from time to time by ordinary resolution increase the share capital by such sum to be divided into Shares of such amount as the resolution shall prescribe. 38. Subject to any direction to the contrary that may be given by the Company in general meeting all new Shares shall before issue be offered to such persons as at the date of the offer are entitled to receive notices from the Company of general meetings in proportion as nearly as the circumstances admit to the amount of the existing Shares to which they are entitled. The offer shall be made by notice specifying the number of Shares offered and limiting a time within which the offer if not accepted will be deemed to be declined and after the expiration of that time or on the receipt of an intimation from the person to whom the offer is made that he declines to accept the Shares offered the Directors may dispose of those Shares in such manner as they think most beneficial to the Company. The Directors may likewise so dispose of any new Shares which (by reason of the ratio which the new Shares bear to Shares held by persons entitled to an offer of new Shares) cannot in the opinion of the Directors be conveniently offered under this Article. 39. The new Shares shall be subject to the same provisions with reference to the payment of calls lien transfer transmission forfeiture and otherwise as the Shares in the original share capital. 40. The Company may by ordinary resolution: (a) consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into Shares of larger amount than its existing Shares; 17

GRAPHIC

(b) sub-divide its existing Shares or any of them into Shares of smaller amount than is fixed by the Memorandum of Association subject nevertheless to the provisions of section 98(1 )(d) of the Act; and (c) cancel any Shares which at the date of the passing of the resolution have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person. 41.

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETINGS 45. Subject to the provisions of Section 163 (2) of the Act relating to special resolutions seven days' notice at least (exclusive of the day on which notice is served or deemed to be served but inclusive of the day on which notice is given) specifying the place the day and the hour of the meeting and in the case of special business the general nature of such business shall be given in the manner provided by these Articles or in such other manner (if any) as may be prescribed by the Directors to such persons as are under the Regulations of the Company entitled to receive such notices from the Company but with the consent of all the Members entitled to receive notice of such particular meeting that meeting may be convened by such shorter notice and in such manner as those Members may think fit. 46.

Such commissions may be satisfied by the payment of cash or the lodgement of fully or partly paid-up Shares or partly in one way and partly in the other. The Company may also pay such brokerage as may be lawful on any issue of Shares.

 

11. The Directors may refuse to accept any application for Shares, and may accept any application in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason.

 

MODIFICATION OF RIGHTS

 

12. Whenever the capital of the Company is divided into different Classes the rights attached to any such Class may, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any Class, only be materially adversely varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the issued Shares of the relevant Class, or with the sanction of a resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares of such Class by a majority of two-thirds of the votes cast at such a meeting. To every such separate meeting all the provisions of these Articles relating to general meetings of the Company or to the proceedings thereat shall, mutatis mutandis, apply, except that the necessary quorum shall be one or more Persons at least holding or representing by proxy one-third in nominal or par value amount of the issued Shares of the relevant Class (but so that if at any adjourned meeting of such holders a quorum as above defined is not present, those Shareholders who are present shall form a quorum) and that, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to the Shares of that Class, every Shareholder of the Class shall on a poll have one vote for each Share of the Class held by him. For the purposes of this Article the Directors may treat all the Classes or any two or more Classes as forming one Class if they consider that all such Classes would be affected in the same way by the proposals under consideration, but in any other case shall treat them as separate Classes.

 

13. The rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any Class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to the Shares of that Class, be deemed to be materially adversely varied or abrogated by, inter alia, the creation, allotment or issue of further Shares ranking pan passu with or subsequent to them or the redemption or purchase of any Shares of any Class by the Company.

 

CERTIFICATES

 

14. No Person shall be entitled to a certificate for any or all of his Shares, unless the Directors shall determine otherwise.

 

FRACTIONAL SHARES

 

15. The Directors may issue fractions of a Share and, if so issued, a fraction of a Share shall be subject to and carry the corresponding fraction of liabilities (whether with respect to nominal or par value, premium, contributions, calls or otherwise), limitations, preferences, privileges, qualifications, restrictions, rights (including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, voting and participation rights) and other attributes of a whole Share. If more than one fraction of a Share of the same Class is issued to or acquired by the same Shareholder such fractions shall be accumulated.

 

LIEN

 

16. The Company has a first and paramount lien on every Share (whether or not fully paid) for all amounts (whether presently payable or not) payable at a fixed time or called in respect of that Share. The Company also has a first and paramount lien on every Share registered in the name of a Person indebted or under liability to the Company (whether he is the sole registered holder of a Share or one of two or more joint holders) for all amounts owing by him or his estate to the Company (whether or not presently payable). The Directors may at any time declare a Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The Company's lien on a Share extends to any amount payable in respect of it.

 

6

 

17. The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors in their absolute discretion think fit, any Share on which the Company has a lien, but no sale shall be made unless an amount in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable nor until the expiration of fourteen days after a notice in writing, demanding payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, has been given to the registered holder for the time being of the Share, or the Persons entitled thereto by reason of his death or bankruptcy.

 

18. For giving effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise some Person to transfer the Shares sold to the purchaser thereof. The purchaser shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer and he 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 or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the sale.

 

19. The proceeds of the sale after deduction of expenses, fees and commission incurred by the Company shall be received by the Company and applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, and the residue shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares prior to the sale) be paid to the Person entitled to the Shares immediately prior to the sale.

 

CALLS ON SHARES

 

20. The Directors may from time to time make calls upon the Shareholders in respect of any moneys unpaid on their Shares, and each Shareholder shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen days' notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on such Shares.

 

21. The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay calls in respect thereof.

 

22. If a sum called in respect of a Share is not paid before or on the day appointed for payment thereof, the Person from whom the sum is due shall pay interest upon the sum at the rate of eight percent per annum from the day appointed for the payment thereof to the time of the actual payment, but the Directors shall be at liberty to waive payment of that interest wholly or in part.

 

23. The provisions of these Articles as to the liability of joint holders and as to payment of interest shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the amount of the Share, or by way of premium, as if the same had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

 

24. The Directors may make arrangements on the issue of partly paid Shares for a difference between the Shareholders, or the particular Shares, in the amount of calls to be paid and in the times of payment.

 

25. The Directors may, if they think fit, receive from any Shareholder willing to advance the same all or any part of the moneys uncalled and unpaid upon any partly paid Shares held by him, and upon all or any of the moneys so advanced may (until the same would, but for such advance, become presently payable) pay interest at such rate (not exceeding without the sanction of an Ordinary Resolution, eight percent per annum) as may be agreed upon between the Shareholder paying the sum in advance and the Directors.

FORFEITURE OF SHARES

 

26. If a Shareholder fails to pay any call or instalment of a call in respect of partly paid Shares on the day appointed for payment, the Directors may, at any time thereafter during such time as any part of such call or instalment remains unpaid, serve a notice on him requiring payment of so much of the call or instalment as is unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued.

 

27. The notice shall name a further day (not earlier than the expiration of fourteen days from the date of the notice) on or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made, and shall state that in the event of non-payment at or before the time appointed the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

 

28. If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any Share in respect of which the notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before the payment required by notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors to that effect.

 

29. A forfeited Share may be sold or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit, and at any time before a sale or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit.

 

30. A Person whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Shareholder in respect of the forfeited Shares, but shall, notwithstanding, remain liable to pay to the Company all moneys which at the date of forfeiture were payable by him to the Company in respect of the Shares forfeited, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company receives payment in full of the amount unpaid on the Shares forfeited.

 

31. A statutory declaration in writing that the declarant is a Director, and that a Share has been duly forfeited on a date stated in the declaration, shall be conclusive evidence of the facts in the declaration as against all Persons claiming to be entitled to the Share.

 

32. The Company may receive the consideration, if any, given for a Share on any sale or disposition thereof pursuant to the provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture and may execute a transfer of the Share in favour of the Person to whom the Share is sold or disposed of and that Person shall be registered as the holder of the Share, and shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the disposition or sale.

 

33. The provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which by the terms of issue of a Share becomes due and payable, whether on account of the amount of the Share, or by way of premium, as if the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

 

TRANSFER OF SHARES

 

34. The instrument of transfer of any Share shall be in any usual or common form or such other form as the Directors may, in their absolute discretion, approve and be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and if in respect of a nil or partly paid up Share, or if so required by the Directors, shall also be executed on behalf of the transferee and shall be accompanied by the certificate (if any) of the Shares to which it relates and such other evidence as the Directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer. The transferor shall be deemed to remain a Shareholder until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register in respect of the relevant Shares.

 

35. The Directors may in their absolute discretion decline to register any transfer of Shares without assigning any reason therefor.

 

8

 

36. The registration of transfers may be suspended at such times and for such periods as the Directors may from time to time determine.

 

37. All instruments of transfer that are registered shall be retained by the Company, but any instrument of transfer that the Directors decline to register shall (except in any case of fraud) be returned to the Person depositing the same.

 

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

 

38. The legal personal representative of a deceased sole holder of a Share shall be the only Person recognised by the Company as having any title to the Share. In the case of a Share registered in the name of two or more holders, the survivors or survivor, or the legal personal representatives of the deceased survivor, shall be the only Person recognised by the Company as having any title to the Share.

 

39. Any Person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Shareholder shall upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Directors, have the right either to be registered as a Shareholder in respect of the Share or, instead of being registered himself, to make such transfer of the Share as the deceased or bankrupt Person could have made; but the Directors 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 the deceased or bankrupt Person before the death or bankruptcy.

 

40. A Person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy of a Shareholder shall be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the registered Shareholder, except that he shall not, before being registered as a Shareholder 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.

 

ALTERATION OF SHARE CAPITAL

 

41. The Company may from time to time by Ordinary Resolution increase the share capital by such sum, to be divided into Shares of such Classes and amount, as the resolution shall prescribe.

 

42. The Company may by Ordinary Resolution:

 

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

 

(b) convert all or any of its paid up Shares into stock and reconvert that stock into paid up Shares of any denomination;

 

(c) subdivide its existing Shares, or any of them into Shares of a smaller amount provided that in the subdivision the proportion between the amount paid and the amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced Share shall be the same as it was in case of the Share from which the reduced Share is derived; and

 

(d) 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.

 

43. The Company may by Special Resolution reduce its share capital and any capital redemption reserve in any manner authorised by law.

 

9

 

REDEMPTION AND PURCHASE OF SHARES

 

44. Subject to the Law, the Company may:

 

(a) issue Shares on terms that they are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the Company or the Shareholder on such terms and in such manner as the Directors may, before the issue of such Shares, determine;

 

(b) purchase its own Shares (including any redeemable Shares) on such terms and in such manner as the Directors may determine and agree with the Shareholder; and

 

(c) make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own Shares in any manner authorised by the Law, including out of its capital, profits or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares.

 

45. Any Share in respect of which notice of redemption has been given shall not be entitled to participate in the profits of the Company in respect of the period after the date specified as the date of redemption in the notice of redemption.

 

46. The redemption or purchase of any Share shall not be deemed to give rise to the redemption or purchase of any other Share.

 

47. The Directors may when making payments in respect of redemption or purchase of Shares, if authorised by the terms of issue of the Shares being redeemed or purchased or with the

 

agreement of the holder of such Shares, make such payment either in cash or in specie.

 

GENERAL MEETINGS

 

48. The Directors may, whenever they think fit, convene a general meeting of the Company.

 

49. General meetings shall also be convened on the requisition in writing of any Shareholder or Shareholders entitled to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company holding at least 10 percent of the paid up voting share capital of the Company deposited at the Office specifying the objects of the meeting for a date no later than 21 days from the date of deposit of the requisition signed by the requisitionists, and if the Directors do not convene such meeting for a date not later than 45 days after the date of such deposit, the requisitionists themselves may convene the general meeting in the same manner, as nearly as possible, as that in which general meetings may be convened by the Directors, and all reasonable expenses incurred by the requisitionists as a result of the failure of the Directors to convene the general meeting shall be reimbursed to them by the Company.

 

50. If at any time there are no Directors, any two Shareholders (or if there is only one Shareholder then that Shareholder) entitled to vote at general meetings of the Company may convene a general meeting in the same manner as nearly as possible as that in which general meetings may be convened by the Directors.

 

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETINGS

52. The accidental omission to give notice of a meeting to or the non-receipt of a notice of a meeting by any Shareholder shall not invalidate the proceedings at any meeting.

No special business shall be transacted at any general meeting without the consent of all Shareholders entitled to receive notice of that meeting unless notice of such special business has been given in the notice convening that meeting.

 

54. No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum of Shareholders is present at the time when the meeting proceeds to business.

55. If within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of Shareholders, 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 the adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting the Shareholder or Shareholders present and entitled to vote shall form a quorum.

58. If there is no such chairman, or if at any general meeting he is not present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting or is unwilling to act as chairman, any Director or Person nominated by the Directors shall preside as chairman, failing which the Shareholders present in person or by proxy shall choose any Person present to be chairman of that meeting.

 

59. The chairman may with the consent of any general meeting at which a quorum is present (and shall if so directed by the meeting) adjourn a 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 meeting, or adjourned meeting, is adjourned for fourteen days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. Save as aforesaid it shall not be necessary to give any notice of an adjournment or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned meeting.

 

60. The Directors may cancel or postpone any duly convened general meeting at any time prior to such meeting, except for general meetings requisitioned by the Shareholders in accordance with these Articles, for any reason or for no reason, upon notice in writing to Shareholders. A postponement may be for a stated period of any length or indefinitely as the Directors may determine.

 

11

 

61. At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands, unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands) demanded by the chairman or one or more Shareholders present in person or by proxy entitled to vote, and unless a poll is so demanded, a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has, on a show of hands, been carried, or carried unanimously, or by a particular majority, or lost, and an entry to that effect in the book of the proceedings of the Company, shall be conclusive evidence of the fact, without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of, or against, that resolution.

 

62. If a poll is duly demanded it shall be taken in such manner as the chairman directs, and the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded.

 

63. In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the chairman of the meeting at which the show of hands takes place or at which the poll is demanded, shall be entitled to a second or casting vote.

 

64. A poll demanded on the election of a chairman of the meeting or on a question of adjournment shall be taken forthwith. A poll demanded on any other question shall be taken at such time as the chairman of the meeting directs.

70. The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing under the hand of the appointor or of his attorney duly authorised in writing or, if the appointor is a corporation, either under Seal or under the hand of an officer or attorney duly authorised. A proxy need not be a Shareholder.

73. The instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to confer authority to demand or join in demanding a poll.

 

74. A resolution in writing signed by all the Shareholders for the time being entitled to receive notice of and to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company (or being corporations by their duly authorised representatives) shall be as valid and effective as if the same had been passed at a general meeting of the Company duly convened and held.

Any corporation which is a Shareholder or a Director may by resolution of its directors or other governing body authorise such Person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or of any meeting of holders of a Class or of the Directors or of a committee of Directors, and the Person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation which he represents as that corporation could exercise if it were an individual Shareholder or Director.

83. Any Director may in writing appoint another Person to be his alternate and, save to the extent provided otherwise in the form of appointment, such alternate shall have authority to sign written resolutions on behalf of the appointing Director, but shall not be required to sign such written resolutions where they have been signed by the appointing director, and to act in such Director's place at any meeting of the Directors at which he is unable to be present. Every such alternate shall be entitled to attend and vote at meetings of the Directors as a Director when the Director appointing him is not personally present and where he is a Director to have a separate vote on behalf of the Director he is representing in addition to his own vote. A Director may at any time in writing revoke the appointment of an alternate appointed by him. Such alternate shall not be an officer of the Company and shall be deemed to be the agent of the Director appointing him. The remuneration of such alternate shall be payable out of the remuneration of the Director appointing him and the proportion thereof shall be agreed between them.

 

13

 

84. Any Director may appoint any Person, whether or not a Director, to be the proxy of that Director to attend and vote on his behalf, in accordance with instructions given by that Director, or in the absence of such instructions at the discretion of the proxy, at a meeting or meetings of the Directors which that Director is unable to attend personally.

86. The Directors may from time to time appoint any natural person or corporation, whether or not a Director to hold such office in the Company as the Directors may think necessary for the administration of the Company, including but not limited to, the office of president, one or more vice-presidents, treasurer, assistant treasurer, manager or controller, and for such term and at such remuneration (whether by way of salary or commission or participation in profits or partly in one way and partly in another), and with such powers and duties as the Directors may think fit. Any natural person or corporation so appointed by the Directors may be removed by the Directors or by the Company by Ordinary Resolution. The Directors may also appoint one or more of their number to the office of managing director upon like terms, but any such appointment shall ipso facto determine if any managing director ceases from any cause to be a Director, or if the Company by Ordinary Resolution resolves that his tenure of office be terminated.

The Seal shall be affixed in the presence of a Director or a Secretary (or an assistant Secretary) or in the presence of any one or more Persons as the Directors may appoint for the purpose and every Person as aforesaid shall sign every instrument to which the Seal is so affixed in their presence.

 

96. The Company may maintain a facsimile of the Seal in such countries or places as the Directors may appoint and such facsimile Seal shall not be affixed to any instrument except by the authority of a resolution of the Directors provided always that such authority may be given prior to or after the affixing of such facsimile Seal and if given after may be in general form confirming a number of affixings of such facsimile Seal.

In case a share is owned by several persons, they shall appoint a single representative who shall represent them in respect of the Company. The Company has the right to suspend the exercise of all rights attached to that share, except for relevant information rights, until such representative has been appointed. In the event of death, the shares of the deceased shareholder may only be transferred to new shareholders subject to the approval of such transfer given by the remaining shareholders holding at least seventy-jive percent (75%) of the shares owned by the remaining shareholders. Such approval is however not required in case the shares are transferred either to parents, descendants or the surviving spouse or any other legal heir of the deceased shareholder. However, shares allocated against sweat contributions may not be transferred neither to shareholder(s) nor to non-shareholder(s). Art. 11. The Company shall have power to redeem its own shares subject to the relevant provisions of the Commercial Companies Law. Such redemption shall be carried out by means of a resolution of an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders or of the sole shareholder (as the case may be), adopted under the conditions required for the amendment of the Articles, provided that such redemption has been proposed to each shareholder in the proportion of the capital represented by their shares. However, if the redemption price is in excess of the nominal value of the shares to be redeemed, the redemption may only be decided to the extent that the excess purchase price may not exceed total profits made since the end of the last financial year for which the annual accounts have been approved, plus any profits carried forward and sums drawn from reserves available for this purpose, less losses carried forward and any sums to be placed to reserve pursuant to the requirements of the Law or of the Articles. The board of managers or the sole manager (as the case may be) is authorized to cancel the redeemed shares held in treasury, to resolve on the corresponding decrease of the share capital of the Company and to take or authorize any person to take any necessa,y steps for the purpose of obtaining execution and publication of the amendment of the first paragraph of Article 8 of these Article .

The manager(s) shall be appointed and designated as category A manager or category B manager, and her/his/its/their remuneration determined, by a resolution of the general meeting of shareholders taken by simple majority of the votes cast, or of the sole shareholder (as the case may be).

Art. 13. In case of plurality of managers, the decisions of the managers are taken by meeting of the board of managers. The board of managers may appoint among its members a chairman to chair the meeting which, in case of tie vote, shall not have a casting vote. It may also appoint a secretary, who needs not to be a manager, who shall be responsible for keeping the minutes of the meetings of the board of managers or for such other matter as may be specified by the board of managers. The board of managers shall meet when convened by any manager. Notice of any meeting of the board of managers shall be given to all managers at least 2 (two) days in advance of the time set for such meeting except in the event of emergency, the nature of which is to be set forth in the minute of the meeting. Any convening notice shall specify the time and place of the meeting and the nature of the business to be transacted.

The managers may participate in a board of managers meeting by phone, videoconference, or any other suitable telecommunication means allowing all persons participating in the meeting to hear each other at the same time, provided that a majority of the managers shall never attend the meeting while being located in the same foreign jurisdiction. Such participation in a meeting is deemed equivalent to a participation in person at a meeting of the managers and the meeting is deemed to be held at the registered office of the Company. The board of managers can validly deliberate and act only if the majority of its members is present or represented, including at least one category A manager and one category B manager. Decisions of the board of managers are adopted by the majority of the managers participating to the meeting or duly represented thereto, including at least one category A manager and one categor y B manager. The deliberations of the board of managers shall be recorded in the minutes, which have to be signed by the chairman or one category A manager and one category B manager .. Any transcript of or excerpt from these minutes shall be signed by the chairman or one category A manager and one category B manager. Resolutions in writing approved and signed by all managers shall have the same e ffect as resolutions passed at a managers' meeting and shall be deemed to be taken at the registered office of the Company.

In such cases, written resolutions can either be documented in a single document or in several separate documents having the same content. Written resolutions may be transmitted by ordinary mail, fax, cable, telegram, telex, electronic means, or any other suitable telecommunication means. Any manager who has, directly or indirectly, a patrimonial interest conjlicting with the interest of the Company in connection with a transaction falling within the competence of the board of managers, must inform the board of managers of such conflict of interest and must have his declaration recorded in the minutes of the board meeting. The relevant manager may not take part in the discussions relating to such transaction or vote on such transaction. Any such conflict of interest must be reported to the next general meeting of shareholders prior to such meeting taking any resolution on any other item. Where the Company comprises a single manager, transactions made between the Company and the manager having an interest conflicting with that of the Company are specifically mentioned in the resolution of the sole manager. Where, by reason of a conjlicting interest, the number of managers required in order to validly deliberate and vote is not met, the board of managers may in its sole discretion either deliberate and take the decision at the majority of the non-conflicted managers or decide to submit the decision on this specific item to the general meeting of shareholders. The conflict of interest rules shall not apply where the decision of the board of managers or the sole manager relates to day-to-day transactions entered into under normal conditions. Art. 14. Any manager does not contract in his function any personal obligation concerning the commitments regularly taken by him in the name of the Company; as a representative of the Company, he is only responsible for the execution of his mandate.

General meetings of shareholders Art. 16. In case of plurality of shareholders, decisions of the shareholders are taken as follows: Except in case of proposed amendments to these Articles, the holding of a shareholders meeting is not compulsory as long as the shareholders number is less than 60 (sixty). In such case, each shareholder shall receive the whole text of each resolution or decision to be taken, transmitted in writing or by fax, cable, telegram, telex, electronic means or any other suitable telecommunication means. Each sha;eholder ·hall voie in-writing: lf the shareholders number exceeds 60 (sixty), the decisions of the shareholders are taken by meetings of the shareholders. In such a case I (one) general meeting shall be held at least annually in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg within 6 (six) months of the closing of the last financial year. Other general meetings of shareholders may be held at any time specified in the notice of the meeting. Art. 17.

All notices must specify the time and place of the meeting. lf all shareholders are present or represented at the general meeting and state that they have been duly informed of the agenda of the meeting, the general meeting may be held without prior notice. Any shareholder may act at any general meeting by appointing in writing or by fax, cable, telegram, telex, electronic means or by any other suitable telecommunication means another person who needs not be shareholder. Each shareholder may participate in general meetings of shareholders. Each share entitles to one vote in general meetings of shareholders. The board of managers (or the sole manager as the case may be) may suspend the voting rights of any shareholder in breach of his obligations under these Articles or under any relevant contractual arrangement entered into by such shareholder and to which the Company is a party. A shareholder may individually decide not to exercise, temporarily or permanently, all or part of his voting rights. The waiving shareholder is bound by such waiver which is mandatory for the Company upon notification to the latter. In case the voting rights of one or several shareholders are suspended in accordance with this Article or the exercise of the voting rights has been waived by one or several shareholders, such shareholders may attend any general meeting of the Company but the shares they hold are not taken into account for the determination of the conditions of quorum and majority to be complied with at the general meetings of the Company or to determine if written resolutions have been validly adopted.

GRAPHIC

Shareholders may take part in the meeting by conference call, through video conference or by any other means of communication allowing/or their identification, allowing all persons taking part in the meeting to hear one another on a continuous basis, and allowing/or an effective participation of all such persons in the meeting.

The shareholders may only use voting forms provided by the Company which contain at least the place, date and time of the meeting, the agenda of the meeting, the proposals submitted to the shareholders, as well as for each proposal three boxes allowing the shareholder to vote in favour thereof, against, or abstain.from voting by ticking the appropriate box. Voting forms which, for a proposed resolution, do not show (i) a vote in favour or (ii) a vote against the proposed resolution or (iii) an abstention are void with respect to such resolution. The Company shall only take into account voting forms received on the day preceding the date of the general meeting to which they relate. The board of managers may determine further conditions that must be fitl.filled by the shareholders for them to take part in any general meeting of shareholders. An attendance list must be kept at all general meetings of shareholders. Resolutions at the meetings of shareholders or resolutions proposed in writing to the shareholders are validly taken in so far as they are adopted by shareholders representing more than half of the share capital of the Company. If this quorum is not formed at a first meeting or at the first consultation, the shareholders are immediately convened or consulted a second time by registered letter and resolutions will be taken at the majority of the vote cast, regardless of the portion of capital represented. However, resolutions to amend the Articles shall only be taken by an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, by shareholders representing at least three-quarters of the share capital of the Company. A sole shareholder exercises alone the powers devolved to the meeting of shareholders by the Law. Except in case of current operations concluded under normal conditions, contracts concluded between the sole shareholder and the Company have to be recorded in minutes or drawn-up in writing.

If the shareholders number exceeds 60 (sixty), the supervision of the Company shall be entrusted to one or more statutory auditor(s) ("commissaire(s) "), who may or may not be shareholder(s).

At the end of this period and of each subsequent period, the statutory auditor(s) can be renewed in its/their function by a new resolution of the general meeting of shareholders or of the sole shareholder (as the case may be) until the holding of the next annual general meeting dealing with the approval of the annual accounts. Where the thresholds of the law of 19 December 2002 on the Luxembourg Trade and Companies Register are met, the Company shall have its annual accounts audited by one or more qualified auditor(s) ("reviseurs d'entreprises agree(s) '') appointed by the general meeting of shareholders or the sole shareholder (as the case may be) amongst the qualified auditors registered in the Financial Sector Supervisory Commission ("Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier'') 's public register. Notwithstanding the thresholds above mentioned, at any time, one or more qualified auditors may be appointed by resolution of the general meeting of shareholders or of the sole shareholder (as the case may be) that shall decide the terms and conditions of his/her/its/their mandate. Dividend - Reserves Art. 22. The credit balance of the profit and loss account, after deduction of the expenses, costs, amortisations, charges and provisions represents the net profit of the Company. Every year 5% (five percent) of the net profit will be transferred to the statutory reserve. This deduction ceases to be compulsory when the statutory reserve amounts to one tenth of the issued share capital, as decreased or increased from time to time, but shall again become compulsory if the statutory reserve falls below such one tenth. Upon recommendation of the board of managers or the sole manager (as the case may be), the general meeting of shareholders at the majority vote determined by the Law or the sole shareholder (as the case may be) may decide at any time that the excess be distributed to the shareholder(s) proportionally to the shares they hold, as dividends or be carried forward or transferred to an extraordinary reserve. In case of share(s) subject to an usufruct duly notified to or accepted by the Company in accordance with article 1690 of the civil code, the usufructuary is entitled to receive the dividend distribution, if any. Art. 23. Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding article, the board of managers or the sole manager (as the case may be), may decide to pay interim dividends, on the basis of a statement of

GRAPHIC

accounts prepared by the board of managers or the sole manager ( as the case may be) dated no more than two months, and showing that sufficient funds are available for distribution, it being understood that the amount to be distributed may not exceed realised profits since the end of the last financial year for which the annual accounts have been approved, increased by profits carried forward and available reserves, less losses carried forward and sums to be allocated to a reserve to be established according to the Law or the Articles. If the Company has appointed a statutory auditor ("commissaire'') or a qualified auditor ("reviseur d'entreprises agree''), such statutory auditor or qualified auditor shall verify that the conditions for an interim dividend distribution are satisfied. Winding-up -Liquidation Art. 24. The general meeting of shareholders under the conditions provided for by the Law, or the sole shareholder (as the case may be) may resolve the dissolution of the Company. Where the Company has a single shareholder, and subject to the conditions provided for by the Law, the Company may be dissolved without being liquidated in accordance with the provisions of article 1865 bis, paragraphs 2 et seq of the civil code. Art. 25. Except in the case of article 24 paragraph 2 above, the general meeting of shareholders with the consent of half of shareholders holding three quarters of the share capital shall appoint one or more liquidator(s), physical or legal person(s) and determine the method of liquidation, the powers of the liquidator(s) and their remuneration.
