(i) allot and issue Ordinary Shares to such persons on such terms and conditions and for such consideration (if any) as the Board may deem fit;

(c) All new shares shall be subject to the conditions of issue, and the provisions of the Act and of this Constitution with reference to allotment, transfer, transmission and otherwise.

(d) The rights attaching to shares of a class other than Ordinary Shares shall be expressed in this Constitution.

(e) The Company may not, except as provided and in accordance with the Act, give financial assistance for the purpose of, or in connection with the acquisition or proposed acquisition of shares or units of shares in the Company.

6A. The rights, privileges and restrictions attaching to the Special Preference Shares are set out below:

A holder of Special Preference Shares shall not be entitled to receive any dividends from the Company, notwithstanding the declaration and payment of any dividends by the Company to the holders of the Ordinary Shares. The Special Preference Shares shall not confer any right or claim as regards participation in the profits or capital of the company, except receipt of the Preference Amount or the Redemption Amount (each as defined herein).

In the event of any liquidation or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, after distribution of payment to all general creditors of the Company, senior debt and subordinated debt holders, a holder of Special Preference Shares will be entitled to receive, prior to and in preference to holders of Ordinary Shares and any other classes of shares or security which are subordinated to the Special Preference Shares, an amount equal to 0.001¢ per Special Preference Share (the “Preference Amount”). Save as set out in this article 6A, the Special Preference Shares shall not confer any right or claim as regards participation in the assets or funds of the Company.

A holder of Special Preference Shares shall be entitled to receive notices of, and attend, speak and vote at, any meetings of the members. A holder of the Special Preference Shares shall be entitled at all times to one vote for each Special Preference Share held by such holder (the “Voting Rights”). Notwithstanding any provision of this Constitution to the contrary, the holders of the Special Preference Shares and the Ordinary Shares shall vote together as a single class on all matters, except (i) to the extent a separate general meeting of the holders of the Special Preference Shares is required to be held by law or (ii) with respect to any amendment to this Constitution that adversely affects the Voting Rights, the approval of which shall require the separate class vote of the holders of the Special Preference Shares.

(i) Subject to applicable laws, all or part of the Special Preference Shares (as the case may be) shall be automatically redeemed on the date of, and concurrently with, the occurrence of the following events (each, a “Mandatory Redemption Event”), without any further action required on the part of the Company:

(the date on which any such event occurs, a “Mandatory Redemption Date”).

(ii) The Company shall, within 20 days after a Mandatory Redemption Date, give a notice of such redemption (the “Redemption Notice”) to the holders of the Special Preference Shares, specifying, inter alia:

Delivery of the Redemption Notice by the Company shall serve as conclusive evidence of the occurrence of a Mandatory Redemption Event and the resulting redemption of Special Preference Shares. No defect in the Redemption Notice or in its delivery shall affect the validity of the redemption proceedings.

(iii) Upon the occurrence of a Mandatory Redemption Event, a holder of Special Preference Shares shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the Preference Amount in respect of each Special Preference Share redeemed (the “Redemption Amount”), and shall not be entitled to receive any other amounts or have any other rights in respect of the Special Preference Shares which have been redeemed on the relevant Mandatory Redemption Date.

(iv) Payment of the Redemption Amount shall be made against presentation and surrender of the share certificate(s) of the Special Preference Shares at the place specified in the Redemption Notice. If any certificate so delivered to the Company includes any Special Preference Shares not being redeemed on that occasion, a fresh certificate for such Special Preference Shares shall be issued to the holder delivering such certificate to the Company. A receipt given by the holder of the Special Preference Shares in respect of the Redemption Amount shall constitute an absolute discharge to the Company.

Appropriate adjustments will be made in the event of any subdivision of Shares, by any split, dividend, distribution, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise, or consolidation of Shares, by reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise, such that (i) the percentage of Shares constituted by the Special Preference Shares immediately prior to the occurrence of such event shall remain unchanged immediately following such event and (ii) the relationship between the Special Preference Shares and the Restricted Exchangeable Units shall not be adversely affected.

Each holder of Special Preference Shares acknowledges that each of the following actions (it being understood that the following list shall not be construed to be an exclusive list) by the Company:

(i) any change to the terms of the Special Preference Shares if such change is solely of a formal, minor or technical nature or is to correct an error or cure an ambiguity (but such change shall not reduce any amounts payable to the holders of the Special Preference Shares, impose any material obligation on the holders of the Special Preference Shares, or adversely affect the Voting Rights);

(iii) the creation and issue of new classes of Ordinary Shares and/or preference shares in the capital of the Company, regardless of the dividends and other amounts payable in respect of such shares and whether and when such dividends and other amounts shall be so payable;

(iv) the purchase, redemption or cancellation by the Company of its own shares (other than the Special Preference Shares, which may be purchased, redeemed or cancelled only in accordance with article 6A(d));

(v) any amalgamation, scheme, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reorganization or other transaction, in each case, involving a sale of control of the Company; or

(vi) any subdivision, consolidation, bonus issue or other adjustments to the Special Preference Shares in accordance with article 6A(e),

will not constitute a variation or abrogation of the rights, preferences and privileges attached to the Special Preference Share, and no separate resolution passed by, or separate consent from, the holders of the Special Preference Shares as a class will be required in respect of any such matters.

7. Subject to the provisions of the Act, article 6A and unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of a particular class of shares, if at any time there exist different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class may, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied or abrogated with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of the class. To every such separate general meeting, the provisions of this Constitution relating to general meetings shall mutatis mutandis apply, but so that the necessary quorum shall be a member or members entitled to vote being present in person or by proxy or in the case of a corporation by a representative and holding between them a majority of the number of issued shares of the class. For the purposes of this article, “member” includes a person attending as a proxy or as representing a corporation which is a member.

8. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights (including the Special Preference Share) shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of the class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking equally therewith, provided that there shall not be any further allotment and issuance of new Special Preference Shares, save as provided in article 6A(e).

9. The Company may pay commissions or brokerage fees on any issue of shares at such rate or amount and in such manner as the Board may deem fit. Such commissions or brokerage fees may be satisfied by the payment of cash or the allotment of fully paid shares or partly in one way and partly in the other.

10. The Company shall not exercise any right in respect of treasury shares other than as provided by the Act. Subject thereto, the Company may deal with its treasury shares in the manner authorized by, or prescribed pursuant to, the Act.

11. Except as required by law and this Constitution, no person shall be recognized by the Company as holding any share upon any trust, and the Company shall not be bound by or be compelled in any way to recognize (even when having notice thereof) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any share or unit of a share or (except only as by this Constitution or by law otherwise provided) any other rights in respect of any share except an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the registered holder.

12. (a) Every share certificate shall be issued under the Seal and shall specify the number, the class of shares to which it relates, whether the shares are fully or partly paid up, and the amount unpaid (if any) on the shares, and shall bear the autographic or facsimile signatures of one Director and the Secretary or a second Director or some other person appointed by the Board. The facsimile signatures may be reproduced by mechanical, electronic or other methods approved by the Board. No certificates shall be issued representing shares of more than one class.

(b) Every person whose name is entered as a member in the register of members shall be entitled without payment to receive a certificate under the Seal of the Company in accordance with the Act but 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 such holders.

(c) The Company shall not be bound to register more than three persons as the registered holder of a share except in the case of executors or administrators of the estate of a deceased member.

(d) Subject to the payment of all or any part of the stamp duty payable (if any) on each share certificate prior to the delivery thereof which the Board in its absolute discretion may require, every person whose name is entered as a member in the register of members shall be entitled to receive within 60 days after the allotment of shares, and within 30 days after the date on which the transfer (other than such a transfer as the Company is for any reason entitled to refuse to register and does not register) of the shares is lodged with the Company, one certificate for all his shares of any one class or several certificates in reasonable denominations each for a part of the shares so allotted or transferred.

(e) Where a member transfers only part of the shares comprised in a certificate or where a member requires the Company to cancel any certificate or certificates and issue new certificates for the purpose of subdividing his holding in a different manner, the old certificate or certificates shall be cancelled and a new certificate or certificates for the balance of such shares issued in lieu thereof and such member shall pay all or any part of the stamp duty payable (if any) on each share certificate prior to the delivery thereof which the Board in its absolute discretion may require.

(f) Subject to the provisions of the Act, if any share certificate shall be defaced, worn out, destroyed, lost or stolen, it may be renewed on such evidence being produced and a letter of indemnity and/or bond, as the Company may deem fit, being given by the shareholder, the transferee, person entitled, purchaser, member firm or member company of any stock exchange upon which the shares in the Company may be listed or on behalf of its or their client or clients as the Company shall require, and in the case of defacement or wearing out, on delivery up of the old certificate and in any case on payment of such sum not exceeding $2 as the Company may from time to time require together with the amount of the proper duty for which such share certificate is chargeable under any law for the time being in force relating to stamps.

(b) If the Company shall refuse to register a transfer of any share it shall, within 30 days from the date on which the application for transfer was made, send to the transferee a notice in writing stating the facts which are considered to justify refusal and send to both the transferor and transferee a notice of refusal as required by the Act.

18. Subject to article 6A(e), the Company may, by ordinary resolution, from time to time in any manner allowed by the Act:

(b) subdivide its shares or any of them provided always that in such 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 the case of the share from which the reduced shares is derived; or

23. All general meetings may be held in Singapore or such other jurisdictions as the Board deems fit.

24. Subject to the provisions of the Act, an annual general meeting shall be held once in every year and not more than fifteen months after the holding of the last preceding annual general meeting, at such time and place as may be determined by the Board. An annual general meeting of the Company shall be held in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

25. The Board may, whenever it deems fit, convene an extraordinary general meeting 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.

26. Subject to the provisions of the Act, any general meeting at which it is proposed to pass a special resolution or a resolution of which special notice has been given to the Company, shall be called by twenty one days’ notice in writing at the least, and an annual general meeting and any other extraordinary general meeting by fourteen days’ notice in writing at the least, provided always that any general meeting at which it is proposed to pass a resolution for the removal of a director pursuant to articles 49 and 50(f) shall be called by 45 days’ notice in writing at the least. The period of notice shall in each case be exclusive of the day on which the notice is served or deemed to be served and the day on which the meeting is to be held provided that a meeting notwithstanding it has been called by a shorter notice than specified above shall be deemed to have been duly called if it is so agreed:

(b) in the case of an extraordinary general meeting, by a majority in the number of members having a right to attend and vote thereat, being a majority together holding not less than 95 per cent of the total voting rights of all the members having a right to attend and vote thereat.

27. (a) A member may appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote at the same general meeting. The Company shall be entitled and bound, in determining rights to vote and other matters in respect of a completed instrument of proxy submitted to it, to have regard to the instructions (if any) given by and the notes (if any) set out in the instrument of proxy.

(b) In any case where an instrument of proxy appoints more than one proxy, the number and class of shares and the proportion of the shareholding concerned to be represented by each proxy shall be specified in the instrument of proxy.

28. Every notice calling a general meeting or annual general meeting shall specify the place, day and hour of meeting and, in the case of special business, shall specify the general nature of the business to be transacted at the meeting. In the case of an annual general meeting, the notice shall also specify the meeting as such. In the case of any general meeting at which a resolution is to be proposed as a special resolution, the notice shall contain a statement to that effect. The accidental omission to give notice of a meeting to, or the non-receipt of notice of a meeting by, any member shall not invalidate the proceedings at any meeting. There shall appear with reasonable prominence in every such notice, a statement that a member entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote instead of him and that such proxies need not be a member of the company. Where the Company has one or more classes of shares that confer special, limited or conditional voting rights, or that confer no voting rights, the notice shall also specify the special, limited or conditional voting rights, or the absence of voting rights, in respect of each such class of shares.

29. (a) All business that is transacted at an extraordinary general meeting shall be deemed special. All business that is transacted at an annual general meeting shall be deemed special except: (i) the consideration of the financial statements of the Company together with the Directors’ statement and auditor’s reports thereon; (ii) the election of Directors; (iii) the appointment and fixing of the remuneration of the auditors; and (iv) fixing of remuneration of the Directors proposed to be paid in respect of their office as such under article 51. Any notice of a general meeting to consider special business shall be accompanied by a statement regarding the effect of any proposed resolution on the Company in respect of such special business.

(b) No business other than the appointment of a chairman shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum of members is present at the time when the meeting proceeds to business. Save as herein otherwise provided, the quorum for any general meeting shall be a member (in the event of a corporation being beneficially entitled to the whole of the issued capital of the Company or there being only one member of the Company) or members entitled to vote being present in person or by proxy or representative and holding between them a majority of the number of issued and paid-up shares of the Company for the time being provided that where a member is represented by more than one proxy, such proxies shall count as only one member for the purpose of determining the quorum.

(c) For the purposes of this article, “member” includes a person attending as a proxy or as representing a corporation which is a member.

30. Subject to the provisions of the Act, the Company may as it deems fit allow one or more members to participate in a meeting by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment whereby all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other and such participation shall constitute presence in person.

31. If within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting (or such longer interval as the chairman of the meeting may deem fit to allow) a quorum is not present, the meeting if convened upon the requisition of members shall be dissolved; but in any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and place, unless the same shall be a public holiday, when it shall be adjourned to the day following at the same time and place, and if at such adjourned meeting a quorum is not present, then a member or members entitled to vote being present in person or by proxy or representative and holding between them not less than a majority of the number of issued and paid-up shares of the Company for the time being, present in person or by proxy at the meeting, shall constitute a quorum for such adjourned meeting, and may transact the business for which the meeting was called.

32. (a) The chairman, if any, of the Board shall preside as chairman at every general meeting of the Company, or if there is no such chairman, or if he is not present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for the holding of the meeting or is unwilling to act, the members present shall elect one of the other Directors present to be chairman of the meeting. If no Director be present or if all the Directors present decline to take the chair, the members present shall choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

(b) If an amendment shall be proposed to any resolution under consideration but shall in good faith be ruled out of order by the chairman of the meeting, the proceedings on the substantive resolution shall not be invalidated by any error in such ruling. In the case of a resolution duly proposed as a special resolution, no amendment thereto (other than a mere clerical amendment to correct a patent error) may in any event be considered or voted upon.

33. The chairman of any general meeting at which a quorum is present may with the consent of the meeting (and shall if so directed by the meeting), adjourn the meeting from time to time (or sine die) and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business which might legally have been transacted at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. When a meeting is adjourned for thirty days or more (or sine die), (a) the date and time for the adjourned meeting shall be fixed by the Board and (b) 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.

34. (a) At any general meeting, any resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a poll. Every member present in person or by proxy or by attorney or other duly authorized representative shall have one vote for each share he holds.

(b) A poll shall be taken in such manner and either at once or after an interval or adjournment or otherwise as the chairman directs, and the result of the poll shall be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was taken.

(d) If any votes be counted which ought not to have been counted or might have been rejected, the error shall not vitiate any result of the voting unless it can be pointed out at the same meeting or at any adjournment thereof and not in any case unless it shall in the opinion of the chairman of the meeting be of significant magnitude.

(e) With respect to any ordinary resolution proposed for consideration of the Company, the resolution shall be approved as an ordinary resolution if it has been passed by a simple majority of the total votes attached to all the fully paid-up shares which are represented at the meeting and voted on such resolution in person or by proxy.

The Directors may, for the purposes of articles 43(a)(i)(B) and 43(a)(ii)(B), designate procedures for authenticating any such instrument, and any such instrument not so authenticated by use of such procedures shall be deemed not to have been received by the Company.

The instrument shall, unless the contrary is stated thereon, be valid as well for any adjournment of the meeting as for the meeting to which it relates, provided that an instrument of proxy relating to more than one meeting (including any adjournment thereof) having once been so delivered for the purposes of any meeting shall not be required again to be delivered for the purposes of any subsequent meeting to which it relates.

(b) The Directors may, in their absolute discretion, and in relation to such members or class of members as they may determine, specify the means through which instruments appointing a proxy may be submitted by electronic communications, as contemplated in article 44(a)(ii). Where the Directors do not specify in relation to a member (whether of a class or otherwise), article 44(a)(ii) shall not apply.

45. A vote given in accordance with the terms of an instrument of proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the previous death or mental disorder of the principal or revocation of the instrument or of the authority under which the instrument was executed, or the transfer of the share in respect of which the instrument is given, if no intimation in writing of such death, mental disorder, revocation, or transfer as aforesaid has been received by the Company at the Office before the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the instrument is used.

46. Any corporation which is a member of the Company may, by resolution of its directors or other governing body, authorize such person as it deems fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or of any class of members of the Company, and the person so authorized 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 member of the Company and such corporation shall for the purposes of this Constitution (but subject to the Act) be deemed to be present in person at any such Meeting if a person so authorized is present thereat.

47. The number of the Directors constituting the board of directors of the Company shall be determined by the Directors from time to time, provided that such number shall not be less than the minimum required by the Act or more than 13. All Directors shall be natural persons.

49. Subject to special notice and the requisite notice under article 26 having been given, the Company may from time to time by ordinary resolution passed at a general meeting remove any Director before the expiration of his period of office, notwithstanding anything in this Constitution or in any agreement between the Company and such Director, provided that such number shall not be less than the minimum required by the Act.

50. (a) The Board may appoint any person to be a Director as an additional Director or to fill a casual vacancy provided that any person so appointed shall hold office only until the next following annual general meeting, and shall then be eligible for re-election.

The retirement shall not have effect until the conclusion of the meeting except where a resolution is passed to elect some other person in the place of the retiring Director or a resolution for his re-election is put to the meeting and lost and accordingly a retiring Director who is re-elected or deemed to have been re-elected will continue in office without a break.

The appointment of any Director to any other executive office shall not automatically determine if he ceases from any cause to be a Director unless the contract or resolution under which he holds office shall expressly state otherwise, in which event, such determination shall be without prejudice to any claim for damages for breach of any contract or service between him and the Company.

52. In the election of Directors pursuant to article 50(e), the candidates receiving the highest number of affirmative votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the general meeting and voted on the election of Directors shall be elected, provided always that such number of affirmative votes shall not be less than the number of affirmative votes required for the passing of an ordinary resolution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall not carry into effect any proposals for selling or disposing of the whole or substantially the whole of the Company’s undertaking unless such proposals have been approved by the Company in a general meeting.

57. Subject as hereinafter provided and to the provisions of the Act, the Board may exercise all the powers of the Company to borrow money and to mortgage or charge its undertaking and property, or any part thereof and to issue debentures and other securities whether outright or as collateral security for any debt, liability, or obligation of the Company or of any third party.

Such a meeting is deemed to be held at the place agreed upon by the Directors attending the meeting, provided that at least one of the Directors present at the meeting was at that place for the duration of the meeting. A Director participating in a meeting in the manner aforesaid may also be taken into account in ascertaining the presence of a quorum at the meeting. Minutes of the proceedings at a meeting by telephone conference, video conference, audio visual, or other similar communications equipment signed by the chairman of the meeting shall be conclusive evidence of such proceedings and of the observance of all necessary formalities and all resolutions agreed by the Directors in such meeting shall be deemed to be as effective as a resolution passed at a meeting in person of the Directors duly convened and held.

88.

(c) Any resolution declaring a dividend on shares of any class may specify that the same shall be payable to the persons registered as the holders of such shares in the register of members at the close of business on a particular date and thereupon, the dividend shall be payable to them in accordance with, and proportionately to, their respective holdings so registered but without prejudice to the rights inter se in respect of such dividends of transferors and transferees of any such shares.

(e) The payment by the Board of any unclaimed dividends or other moneys payable on or in respect of a share other than a treasury share into a separate account shall not constitute the Company being a trustee in respect thereof. All dividends unclaimed after first becoming payable, may be invested or otherwise made use of by the Board for the benefit of the Company and any dividend unclaimed after a period of six years from the date of declaration of such dividend may be forfeited and if so shall revert to the Company but the Board may at any time thereafter at its absolute discretion, annul any such forfeiture and pay the dividend so forfeited to the person entitled thereto prior to the forfeiture.

Where a notice or document is given, sent or served to a member by making it available on a website, the Company shall give separate notice to the member of: (a) the publication of the notice or document on that website; (b) the address of that website; and (c) the place on that website where the notice or document may be accessed and how it may be accessed, by any one or more of the following means:

(iv) by way of announcement on any stock exchange upon which the shares in the Company may be listed.

(c) Where a notice or other document is served or sent by postal service, service shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing, pre-paying and posting a letter containing the notice, and to have been effected in the case of a notice of a meeting on the day after the date of its posting, and in any other case at the time at which the letter would be delivered in the ordinary course of post.

(d) Where a notice or other document is served or sent by electronic communications:

(i) to the current address of a person pursuant to article 94(a)(iii), it shall be deemed to have been duly given, sent or served at the time of transmission by the electronic communication by the email server or facility operated by the Company or its service provider to the current address of such person (notwithstanding any delayed receipt, non-delivery or “returned mail” reply message or any other error message indicating that the electronic communication was delayed or not successfully sent), unless otherwise provided under the Act and/or any other applicable regulations or procedures; and

(ii) by making it available on a website pursuant to article 94(a)(iii), it shall be deemed to have been duly given, sent or served on the date on which the notice or document is first made available on the website, or unless otherwise provided under the Act and/or any other applicable regulations or procedures.

95. A notice may be given by the Company to the joint holders of a share by giving the notice to the joint holders first named in the register of members in respect of the share.

96. A notice may be given by the Company to the persons entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a member by sending it through the post in a prepaid letter addressed to them by name, or by the title or representatives of the deceased, or assignee of the bankrupt, or by any like description, at the address, supplied for the purpose by the persons claiming to be so entitled, or (until such an address has been so supplied) by giving the notice in any manner in which the same might have been given if the death or bankruptcy had not occurred.

97. (a) Notice of every general meeting shall be given in any manner hereinbefore authorized to:

(ii) every person entitled to share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a member who, but for his death or bankruptcy, would be entitled to receive notice of the meeting; and

98. (a) The Board shall have power in the name and on behalf of the Company to present a petition to the court for the Company to be wound up.

(b) If the Company is wound up the liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution of the Company and subject to article 6A(b), divide amongst the members in kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether they consist of property of the same kind or not) and may for that purpose set such value as he deems fair upon any property to be divided as aforesaid and may determine how the division shall be carried out as between the members or different classes of members. The liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest the whole or any part of any such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefits of the members as the liquidator with the like sanction, deems fit, but so that no member shall be compelled to accept any shares or other securities whereon there is any liability.

99. Subject to the provisions of and so far as may be permitted by the Act, every Director, Secretary and other officer of the Company and its subsidiaries and Affiliates, shall be indemnified by the Company against all costs, charges, losses, expenses and liabilities incurred by him or to be incurred by him in the execution and discharge of his duties or in relation thereto. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, no Director, Secretary or other officer of the Company and its subsidiaries and Affiliates shall be liable for the acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of any other Director or officer or for joining in any receipt or other act for conformity or for any loss or expense happening to the Company through the insufficiency or deficiency of title to any property acquired by order of the Board for or on behalf of the Company or for the insufficiency or deficiency of any security in or upon which any of the moneys of the Company shall be invested or for any loss or damage arising from the bankruptcy, insolvency or tortious act of any person with whom any moneys, securities or effects shall be deposited or left or for any other loss, damage or misfortune whatever which shall happen in the execution of the duties of his office or in relation thereto unless the same shall happen through his own negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust.

100. (a) Without prejudice to the rights of the Company under paragraph (b) of this article, the Company may cease sending cheques for dividend entitlements or dividend warrants by post if such cheques or warrants have been left uncashed on two consecutive occasions. However, the Company may exercise the power to cease sending cheques for dividend entitlements or dividend warrants after the first occasion on which such a cheque or warrant is returned undelivered.

(b) The Company shall have the power to sell, in such manner as the Board deems fit, any shares of a member who is untraceable, but no such sale shall be made unless:

(i) all cheques or warrants in respect of dividends of the shares in question, being not less than three in total number, for any sum payable in cash to the holder of such shares in respect of them sent during the relevant period in the manner authorized by the Constitution of the Company have remained uncashed;

(ii) so far as it is aware at the end of the relevant period, the Company has not at any time during the relevant period received any indication of the existence of the member who is the holder of such shares or of a person entitled to such shares by death, bankruptcy or operation of law; and

(iii) the Company, if so required by the rules governing the listing of shares on the stock exchange on which it is listed (the “Designated Stock Exchange”), has given notice to, and caused advertisement in newspapers in accordance with the requirements of, the Designated Stock Exchange to be made of its intention to sell such shares in the manner required by the Designated Stock Exchange, and a period of three months or such shorter period as may be allowed by the Designated Stock Exchange has elapsed since the date of such advertisement.

For the purpose of the foregoing, the “relevant period” means the period commencing twelve years before the date of publication of the advertisement referred to in paragraph (c) of this article and ending at the expiry of the period referred to in that paragraph.

(c) To give effect to any such sale the Board may authorize some person to transfer the said shares and an instrument of transfer signed or otherwise executed by or on behalf of such person shall be as effective as if it had been executed by the registered holder or the person entitled by transmission to such shares, and the purchaser 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 relating to the sale. The net proceeds of the sale will belong to the Company and upon receipt by the Company of such net proceeds it shall become indebted to the former member for an amount equal to such net proceeds. No trust shall be created in respect of such debt and no interest shall be payable in respect of it and the Company shall not be required to account for any money earned from the net proceeds which may be employed in the business of the Company or as it deems fit. Any sale under this article shall be valid and effective notwithstanding that the member holding the shares sold is dead, bankrupt or otherwise under any legal disability or incapacity.

101. No member shall be entitled to require discovery of or any information in respect of any detail of the Company’s trade or any matter which may be in the nature of a trade secret, mystery of trade or secret process which may relate to the conduct of the business of the Company and which in the opinion of the Board, it will be inexpedient in the interest of the members of the Company to communicate to the public save as may be authorized by law.

102. (a) A member who is a natural person is deemed to have consented to the collection, use and disclosure of his personal data (whether such personal data is provided by that member or is collected through a third party) by the Company (or its agents or service providers) from time to time for any of the following purposes:

(i) implementation and administration of any corporate action by the Company (or its agents or service providers);

(iii) investor relations communications by the Company (or its agents or service providers);

(iv) administration by the Company (or its agents or service providers) of that member’s holding of shares in the capital of the Company;

(v) implementation and administration of any service provided by the Company (or its agents or service providers) to its members to receive notices of meetings, financial statements and other shareholder communications and/or for proxy appointment, whether by electronic means or otherwise;

(vi) processing, administration and analysis by the Company (or its agents or service providers) of proxies and representatives appointed for any general meeting (including any adjournment thereof) and the preparation and compilation of the attendance lists, minutes and other documents relating to any general meeting (including any adjournment thereof);

(vii) implementation and administration of, and compliance with, any provision of this Constitution;

(viii) compliance with any applicable laws, listing rules, take-over rules, regulations and/or guidelines; and

(b) Any member who appoints a proxy and/or representative for any general meeting and/or any adjournment thereof is deemed, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, to have warranted that where such member discloses the personal data of such proxy and/or representative to the Company (or its agents or service providers), that member has obtained the prior consent of such proxy and/or representative for the collection, use and disclosure by the Company (or its agents or service providers) of the personal data of such proxy and/or representative for the purposes specified in articles 102(a)(vi) and 102(a)(viii), and is deemed to have agreed to indemnify the Company in respect of any penalties, liabilities, claims, demands, losses and damages as a result of such member’s breach of warranty.
