8.

10.

The Company may insofar as may be permitted by law, pay a commission to any person in consideration of his subscribing or agreeing to subscribe whether absolutely or conditionally for any shares. 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 shares subject to the Compulsory Purchase Notices shall be sold and purchased in accordance with the following provisions:

 

  (A)

by the date set out in the Agreed Terms as the completion date, or if no such date then one month from the date of the Compulsory Purchase Notice (the “Completion Date”), the Minority Members shall deliver stock transfer forms for their shares, with the relevant share certificates, to the Company;

 

  (B)

on the Completion Date the Company shall pay the Minority Members, on behalf of the Company Purchaser, the price for their shares as set out in the Agreed Terms to the extent the Company Purchaser has provided the Company with the requisite funds. The Company’s receipt for the price shall be a good discharge to the Company Purchaser. The Company shall hold the price in trust for the relevant Minority Members without any obligation to pay interest;

 

  (C)

to the extent that the Company Purchaser has not, by the Completion Date, provided the Company with funds to pay the price for the Minority Members’ shares, a Minority Member who has not been paid shall be entitled to the return of the stock transfer forms and share certificates for the relevant shares and the Minority Member shall have no further rights or obligations under this Article in respect of those shares; and

 

  (D)

if a Minority Member fails to deliver stock transfer forms for his shares to the Company by the Completion Date, the Directors may (and shall, if requested by the Company Purchaser) authorize any Director to transfer such shares on the Minority Member’s behalf to the Company Purchaser to the extent the Company Purchaser has, by the Completion date, provided the Company with funds to pay the agreed price for the shares to be acquired by the Company Purchaser. The Directors shall then authorize registration of the transfer. The defaulting Minority Member shall surrender his share certificate for his shares to the Company. On surrender, he shall be entitled to the price for his shares.

 

  (e)

Dividends

The Company shall not declare, pay or set aside any dividends on Ordinary Shares (other than dividends on Ordinary Shares payable in Ordinary Shares) in any year unless the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding shall first receive, or simultaneously receive, for each year such Series A Shares have been issued and outstanding, a dividend on each outstanding Series A Preferred Share in an amount at least equal to 8% per year of original purchase price per Series A Preferred Share, $0.76923, (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization affecting such shares). The foregoing dividend shall not be cumulative. The Company shall not declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Company (other than dividends on Ordinary Shares payable in Ordinary Shares and other than dividends specified in the preceding sentence) unless the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding shall first receive, or simultaneously receive, in addition to any dividend payable pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection, a dividend on each

  (f)

Winding Up

On a return of capital on liquidation, dissolution or otherwise (other than a redemption of shares) the assets of the Company available for distribution among the Members shall be applied in paying to each holder of Series A Preferred Shares in priority to any payment to the holders of any other class of shares, an amount per Series A Preferred Share equal to the Purchase Price, save that if at that time the value of the net assets of the Company is less than the sum of the product of the Purchase Price multiplied by the Series A Preferred Shares then in issue, the amount to be distributed shall be reduced to an aggregate amount equal to such holder’s ratable proportion (based on the number of Ordinary Shares into which the Series A Preferred Shares are then convertible) of the value of the Company’s net assets.

After the holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall have been paid in full an amount per Series A Preferred Share equal to the Purchase Price, the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution among the Members shall be applied in paying to the holders of Series A Preferred Shares, in priority to any other payment to the holders of any other class of shares, an amount equal to any declared but unpaid dividends on such shares held by such holders (the “Declared Dividends”) save that if the value of such assets is less than the Declared Dividends, the amount to be distributed to each holder shall be reduced to the holder’s ratable proportion (based on the number of Ordinary Shares into which the Series A Preferred Shares are then convertible) of the value of the Company’s net assets.

After the holders of Series A Preferred Shares have been paid in full the Purchase Price and any Declared Dividends, the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution among the Members shall be distributed ratably among the holders of Ordinary Shares.

A Sale of the Company shall be deemed to be a liquidation and any amounts payable in accordance with this Article shall become payable upon the happening of such event.

Conversion Rights

 

  (i)

Conversion Procedure

 

  (A)

At any time and from time to time, any holder of Series A Preferred Shares shall have the right, at its option, to convert all or any portion of each Series A Preferred Share (including any fraction of a share) held by such holder into a number of fully paid Ordinary Shares computed by dividing the Purchase Price by the applicable Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date.

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if a conversion of Series A Preferred Shares is to be made in connection with a Qualified IPO or a Sale of the Company, such conversion may, at the election of any holder tendering Series A Preferred Shares for conversion, be conditioned upon the consummation of the Qualified IPO or Sale of the Company, in which case such conversion shall not be deemed to be effective until the consummation of such Qualified IPO or Sale of the Company.

 

  (B)

Subject to the provisions of Article 12(g)(i)(A), each conversion of Series A Preferred Shares shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the effective date of such conversion specified in a written notice (the “Conversion Date”); provided, however, that the Conversion Date shall not be a date earlier than the date such notice is so given, and if such notice does not specify a conversion date, the Conversion Date shall be deemed to be the date such notice is given to the Company. On the Conversion Date, the rights of the holder of such Series A Preferred Shares as such holder (including the right to receive distributions and dividends other than distributions and dividends payable to holders of Ordinary Shares) shall cease and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for Ordinary Shares are to be issued upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Ordinary Shares represented thereby.

 

  (C)

As soon as practicable after the Conversion Date, but in any event within ten (10) business days after the holder has delivered the certificates (or affidavits of lost certificate) evidencing the Series A Preferred Shares converted into Ordinary Shares in accordance herewith, the Company shall deliver to the converting holder:

 

  (1)

a certificate or certificates representing, in the aggregate, the number of Ordinary Shares issued upon such conversion, in the same name or names as the certificates representing the converted Series A Preferred Shares and in such denomination or denominations as the converting holder shall specify and a check for cash with respect to any fractional interest in an Ordinary Share as provided in Article 12(g)(i)(G); and

 

  (2)

a certificate representing any Series A Preferred Shares that were represented by the certificate or certificates delivered to the Company in connection with such conversion but that were not converted.

 

  (D)

The issuance of certificates for Ordinary Shares upon conversion of Series A Preferred Shares shall be made without charge to the holders of such Series A Preferred Shares for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Company in connection with such conversion and the related issuance of Ordinary Shares. Upon conversion of Series A Preferred Shares, the Company shall take all such actions as are necessary in order to ensure that the Ordinary Shares so issued upon such conversion shall be validly issued and fully paid.

  (E)

The Company shall not close its books against the transfer of Series A Preferred Shares or of Ordinary Shares issued or issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Shares in any manner that interferes with the timely conversion of Series A Preferred Shares. The Company shall assist and cooperate with any holder of Series A Preferred Shares required to make any governmental filings or obtain any governmental approval prior to or in connection with any conversion of Series A Preferred Shares hereunder (including, without limitation, making any filings required to be made by the Company).

 

  (F)

The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorised but unissued Ordinary Shares, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares, such number of Ordinary Shares as are issuable upon the conversion of all Series A Preferred Shares then in issue. All Ordinary Shares that are so issuable shall, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and free from all taxes, liens and charges (other than those taxes, liens and charges caused by such holder of Series A Preferred Shares). The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such Ordinary Shares may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which Ordinary Shares may be listed (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Company upon each such issuance).

 

  (G)

No fractional interests in Ordinary Shares or script shall be issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares. If more than one Series A Preferred Share shall be surrendered for conversion at any one time by the same holder, the number of full Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Series Preferred Shares so surrendered. Instead of any fractional interests in Ordinary Shares which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any Series A Preferred Shares, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional interest equal to the fair market value of such fractional interest as determined by the Board of Directors.

 

  (ii)

Conversion Price.

The initial conversion price for each Series A Preferred Share shall be US$0.76923, which price may be adjusted from time to time hereafter (as so adjusted, each, a “Conversion Price”). If and whenever on or after the original date of issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with Article 12(g)(iii) is deemed to have issued or sold, any of its Ordinary Shares or Convertible Securities for a consideration per share less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then upon such issue or sale, the applicable Conversion Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula:

CP2 = CP1 * (A+B) / (A+C)

where

 

  CP2    =

New Conversion Price

 

  CP1    =

Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to new issue

  A    =

Number of shares deemed to be outstanding immediately prior to the issue (including all Ordinary Shares, all Series A Preferred Shares on an as-converted basis and all outstanding options on an as-exercised basis; and does not include any securities converting in the current round)

 

  B    =

Aggregate consideration received by the Company with respect to the new issue divided by CP1

 

  C    =

Number of shares of stock issued in the subject transaction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made under this Article 12(g)(ii) with respect to the issuance of any Excluded Securities.

 

  (iii)

Effect on Conversion Price of Certain Events.

For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under Article 12(g)(ii), the following shall be applicable:

 

  (A)

Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Ordinary Shares are issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the maximum number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this paragraph, the “price per share for which Ordinary Shares are issuable” shall be determined by dividing (a) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the cumulative minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof and, if applicable, the exercise, conversion and exchange of any other Convertible Securities that such Convertible Securities may be converted into or exchanged for, by (b) the total maximum number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price shall be made when Ordinary Shares and, if applicable, any other Convertible Securities, are actually issued upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

  (B)

Change in Exercise Price or Conversion Rate. If the additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares change at any time, each Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect at such time had such Convertible Securities that are still in issue provided for such changed additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time such Convertible Securities were initially granted, issued or sold; but only if as a result of

  such adjustment such Conversion Price then in effect hereunder is thereby reduced; and on the termination date of any right to exercise, convert or exchange such Convertible Securities, such Conversion Price then in effect hereunder shall be increased to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect at the time of such termination had such Convertible Securities, to the extent issued immediately prior to such termination, never been issued.

 

  (iv)

Subdivision or Combination of Ordinary Shares

If the Company at any time subdivides (by any share split, share dividend, recapitalization, or other distribution of Ordinary Shares) its Ordinary Shares then in issue into a greater number of shares, each Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in the event the Ordinary Shares then in issue shall be combined (by reverse share split or otherwise) into a smaller number of shares, each Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased.

 

  (v)

Certain Events.

If an event not specified in Article 12(g)(iii) and Article 12(g)(iv) occurs that has substantially the same economic effect on any Series A Preferred Shares as those specifically enumerated, then Article 12(g)(iii) and Article 12(g)(iv) shall be construed liberally, mutatis mutandis, in order to give such Series A Preferred Shares the intended benefit of the protections provided thereunder. In such event, the Board of Directors shall make an appropriate adjustment in each Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the holders of Series A Preferred Shares; provided that no such adjustment shall increase any Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to Article 12(g)(iii) or (iv) or decrease the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of any Series A Preferred Shares.

 

  (vi)

Notices

 

  (A)

Promptly after any adjustment of any Conversion Price, the Company shall give written notice thereof to all holders of Series A Preferred Shares to which such Conversion Price is applicable, setting forth in reasonable detail and certifying the calculation of such adjustment.

 

  (B)

The Company shall give written notice to all holders of Series A Preferred Shares at least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (a) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon Ordinary Shares, (b) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Ordinary Shares or (c) for determining rights to vote with respect to any dissolution or liquidation.

 

  (vii)

Mandatory Conversion.

Each Series A Preferred Share shall automatically be converted into fully paid Ordinary Shares of the Company on the basis set forth in Article 12(g)(i) immediately upon the consummation of a Qualified IPO. Each Series A Preferred Share shall automatically be converted into fully paid Ordinary Shares of the Company on the basis set forth in Article 12(g)(i) upon the written election of holders Series A Preferred Shares representing at least a majority of the outstanding and issued Series A Preferred Shares.

  Holders of Series A Preferred Shares so converted may deliver to the Company at its principal office (or such other office or agency of the Company as the Company may designate by notice in writing to such holders) during its usual business hours, the certificate or certificates for the shares so converted. As promptly as practicable thereafter, the Company shall issue and deliver to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of whole Ordinary Shares to which such holder is entitled, together with any cash dividends and payment in lieu of fractional interests to which such holder may be entitled. Until such time as a holder of Series A Preferred Shares shall surrender its certificate or certificates therefor as provided above, such certificates shall be deemed to represent the Ordinary Shares to which such holder shall be entitled upon the surrender thereof.

 

  (viii)

Automatic Conversion for Failure to Participate in Second or Third Tranche Financing.

 

  (A)

Trigger Event. In the event that any holder of Series A Perferred Shares (a “Series A Member”) does not participate in either the Second Tranche Financing or the Third Tranche Financing, as applicable, (as such terms are defined in the Subscription Agreement) by purchasing the shares of Series A Preferred Shares in such Financing as obligated pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement, (provided that the Series A Member has received a Second or Third Tranche Completion Certificate, as applicable), then each share of Series A Preferred Shares then held by such Series A Member shall automatically, and without any further action on the part of such Series A Member, be converted into Ordinary Shares at the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date specified in the Second or Third Tranche Completion Certificate, as applicable (as such terms are defined in the Subscription Agreement). For purposes of determining the number of shares of Series A Preferred Shares owned by a Series A Member, all shares of Series A Preferred Shares held by Affiliates of such Series A Member shall be aggregated with such Series A Member’s shares (provided that no shares or securities shall be attributed to more than one entity or person within any such group of affiliated entities or persons). Such conversion, pursuant to this Article 12(g)(viii)(A) is referred to as a “Special Mandatory Conversion”.

 

  (B)

Procedural Requirements. Upon a Special Mandatory Conversion, each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Shares converted pursuant to Article 12(g)(viii)(A) above shall surrender his, her or its certificate or certificates for all such shares (or, if such holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company to indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made against the Company on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Company at the place designated in such notice, and shall thereafter receive certificates for the number of Ordinary Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this subsection. All rights with respect to the Series A Preferred Shares converted pursuant to Article 12(g)(viii)(A) above, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Ordinary Shares), will terminate, except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of their certificate or certificates therefore (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement), to receive the items provided for in the last sentence of Article 12(g)(viii)(B). If so required by the Company, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied

  by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. As soon as practicable after the Special Mandatory Conversion and the surrender of the certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) for Series A Preferred Shares so converted, the Company shall issue and deliver to such holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Ordinary Shares issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share of Ordinary Shares otherwise issuable upon such conversion and the payment of any declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Shares converted.

 

  (C)

Effect of Special Mandatory Conversion. All certificates evidencing shares of Series A Preferred Shares which are required to be surrendered for conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof shall, from and after the time of the Special Mandatory Conversion, be deemed to have been retired and cancelled, and the shares of Series A Preferred Shares converted pursuant to Article 12(g)(viii)(A) represented thereby shall, from and after the time of the Special Mandatory Conversion, be deemed to have been converted into Ordinary Shares for all purposes, notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender such certificates on or prior to such date. Such converted Series A Preferred Shares may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Company may, in accordance with the provisions of these articles, thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for Shareholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Shares accordingly.

own at least 10 percent (10%) of all the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis, assuming the exercise, conversion, and exchange of all outstanding securities of the Company for or into Ordinary Shares of the Company.

VARIATION OF RIGHTS ATTACHING TO SHARES

 

13.

If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attaching to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class) may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of two-thirds of the issued shares of that class, or with the sanction of a resolution passed by at least a two-thirds majority of the holders of shares of the class present in person or by proxy at a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of the class. To every such separate general meeting the provisions of these Articles relating to general meetings of the Company shall mutatis mutandis apply, but so that the necessary quorum shall be at least one person holding or representing by proxy at least one-third of the issued shares of the class and that any holder of shares of the class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll.

 

14.

The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be deemed to be varied or abrogated by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu therewith or the redemption or purchase of shares of any class by the Company.

CERTIFICATES

 

15.

Every person whose name is entered as a member in the Register of Members shall, without payment, be entitled to a certificate in the form determined by the Directors. Such certificate may be under the Seal. All certificates shall specify the share or shares held by that person and the amount paid up thereon, provided that in respect of a share or shares held jointly by several persons the Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate, and delivery of a certificate for a share to one of several joint holders shall be sufficient delivery to all.

 

16.

If a share certificate is defaced, lost or destroyed it may be renewed on such terms, if any, as to evidence and indemnity as the Directors think fit.

FRACTIONAL SHARES

 

17.

Subject to the provisions of Article 12(g)(i)(G), the Directors may issue fractions of a share of any class of shares, and, if so issued, a fraction of a share (calculated to three decimal points) shall be subject to and carry the corresponding fraction of liabilities (whether with respect to any unpaid amount thereon, contribution, calls or otherwise), limitations, preferences, privileges, qualifications, restrictions, rights (including, without limitation, voting and participation rights) and other attributes of a whole share of the same class of shares.

LIEN

 

18.

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 Member (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.

19.

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 14 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.

 

20.

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.

 

21.

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

 

22.

The Directors may from time to time make calls upon the Members in respect of any moneys unpaid on their partly paid shares, and each Member shall (subject to receiving at least 14 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.

 

23.

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

 

24.

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 per centum 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.

 

25.

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.

 

26.

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

 

27.

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 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 per cent, per annum) as may be agreed upon between the Member paying the sum in advance and the Directors.

FORFEITURE OF SHARES

 

28.

If a Member 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.

 

29.

The notice shall name a further day (not earlier than the expiration of 14 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.

 

30.

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.

 

31.

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.

 

32.

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 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.

 

33.

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.

 

34.

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.

 

35.

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

 

36.

Shares may be transferred by an instrument of transfer subject to the restrictions and procedures referred to in Article 12(i).

 

37.

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, 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 holder of the share until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register of Members in respect thereof.

38.

The Directors may in their absolute discretion decline to register any transfer of shares without assigning any reason therefor. If the Directors refuse to register a transfer of any shares, they shall within two months after the date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company send to the transferee notice of the refusal.

 

39.

The registration of transfers may be suspended at such times and for such periods as the Directors may, in their absolute discretion, from time to time determine, provided always that such registration shall not be suspended for more than 45 days in any year.

 

40.

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

41.

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.

42.

Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Member 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 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.

 

43.

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.

ALTERATION OF CAPITAL

 

44.

  (c)

  (c)

make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own shares otherwise than out of profits or the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares.

For the purpose of determining those Members that are entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at any meeting of Members or any adjournment thereof, or those Members that are entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination as to who is a Member for any other purpose, the Directors may provide that the Register of Members shall be closed for transfers for a stated period which shall not exceed in any case 40 days. If the Register of Members shall be so closed for the purpose of determining those Members that are entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at a meeting of Members the register shall be so closed for at least 10 days immediately preceding such meeting and the record date for such determination shall be the date of the closure of the Register of Members.

 

52.

115.

A committee appointed by the Directors may meet and adjourn as it thinks proper. 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.

120.

Any dividend may be paid by cheque sent through the post to the registered address of the Member 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 Member or person entitled, or such joint holders as the case may be, may direct.

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;

 

  (b)

appropriate the sum resolved to be capitalised to the Members 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,
