The Company may also on any issue of shares pay such brokerage as may be lawful.

		Voting

5.12		The Holders of Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to receive notice of and to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.

		Dividends

	5.20.1		Redemption of a Preference Share is effected by the Holder of such Preference Share giving to the Company or by the Company giving to the Holder of such Preference Share, one month’s notice (a “Redemption Notice”) to redeem all or any of the Preference Shares as specified in the Redemption Notice at the Redemption Price (as defined below) and in the case of a partial redemption proportionately in respect of each holding of Preference Shares provided that the Preference Shares to be redeemed have been in issue for not less than one month.

	5.20.2		The Redemption Notice shall be in writing and shall fix the time and place for such Redemption. At the time and place so fixed the registered Holders whose shares are to be redeemed shall be bound to deliver up to the Company the relative certificates for cancellation and the Company shall pay to them the Redemption Price in respect of the Preference Shares.

	5.20.3		The Redemption Price shall be calculated upon the amount paid up on those shares including any premium subscribed (the “Redemption Price”).

General

5.21

Without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on the Holders of any existing shares or class of shares any share in the Company may be issued with such preferred,

		deferred or other special rights or restrictions whether as to dividend voting return of capital or otherwise as the Company at any time by Ordinary Resolution may determine and subject to and in default of such determination as the Board may determine.

5.22		Subject to the provisions of the Statues any Preference Shares may with the sanction either of the Board or an Ordinary Resolution be issued on the terms that they are or at the option of the Company or the Holder are liable to be redeemed on such terms and in such a manner as the Company before the issue may by Ordinary Resolution determine and subject to and in default of such determination as the Board may determine.

5.23		The rights conferred upon the Holders of the shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not (unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class) be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu therewith.

6.		COMPANY NOT OBLIGED TO RECOGNISE ANY TRUST

		Except as required by law, no person shall be recognised 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 recognise (even when having notice thereof) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any share or any interest in any fractional part of a share or (except only as by these Articles 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.

7.		ALTERATION OF RIGHTS

		All or any of the rights, privileges, or conditions for the time being attached to any class or group of shares may be affected, altered, modified, commuted, abrogated or dealt with, subject to the right (if any) of aggrieved Members to apply to the Court for a variation or cancellation as provided in the Statutes:-

7.1		with the consent in writing of the Holders of three-fourths of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of three-fourths of the votes of the Holders of shares of the class or group affected entitled to vote and voting in person or by attorney or proxy and passed at a separate meeting of the Holders of such shares, but not otherwise. To any such meeting all the provisions of these Articles shall mutatis mutandis apply, but so that the necessary quorum shall be Members of the class or group affected, holding or representing by proxy one-third of the capital paid on the issued shares of the class or group affected (but so that if at any adjourned meeting of such Holders a quorum as above defined is not present, those Members who are present shall be a quorum) provided that this Article is not to derogate from any power the Company would have had if this Article were omitted.

8.		CALLS ON SHARES

8.1		Subject to the terms of allotment, the Directors may make calls upon the Members in respect of any moneys unpaid on their shares (whether in respect of nominal value or premium) and each Member shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen clear days’ notice specifying when and where payment is to be made) pay the Company as required by the notice the amount called on his shares. A call may be required to be paid by instalments. A call may, before receipt by the Company of any sum due thereunder, be revoked in whole or part and payment of a call may be postponed in whole or part. A person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon him notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the shares in respect whereof the call was made.

8.2		A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising such call was passed.

8.3		Joint Holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable for the payment of all calls or other moneys in respect thereof.

8.4		Any sum or premium which by the terms of allotment of a share is made payable upon allotment or at any fixed date and any instalment of a call or premium shall, for all purposes of this Article, 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 this Article as to payment of interest and expenses, forfeiture and the like, and all other relevant provisions of this Article shall apply as if such sum, premium or instalments were a call duly made and notified as hereby provided.

8.5		If any Member shall fail to pay on or before the day appointed for payment thereof any call to which he may have become liable, he shall pay interest on the amount in arrear from the day appointed for payment thereof to the time of actual payment, at such rate, not exceeding 15 per cent per annum, as the Directors may from time to time fix, and in case no other rate be prescribed, then at the rate of 15 per cent per annum, provided, however, that the Directors may remit the whole or any part of such interest.

8.6		No Member shall be entitled to receive any Dividend or to receive notice of or attend or vote at any meeting or upon a poll, or to exercise any privileges as a Member until all calls or other sums due by him to the Company, whether alone or jointly with any other person, together with interest and expenses (if any) shall have been paid.

8.7		The Directors may, if they think fit, receive from any Member willing to advance the same, all or any part of the moneys payable upon the shares held by him beyond the sums actually called up thereon, and upon the moneys so paid in advance, or so much thereof as from time to time exceeds the amount of the calls then made upon the shares in respect of which such advance has been made, the Company may pay interest at such rate not exceeding 10 per cent as the Member paying such sum in advance and the Directors shall agree upon, but any amount so for the time being paid in advance of calls shall not unless the Directors shall in

any particular instance otherwise determine, be included or taken into account in ascertaining the amount of Dividend payable upon the share in respect of which such advance has been made.

9.		FORFEITURE

9.1		If any Member fails to pay the whole or any part 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 any part thereof, or any interest which shall have accrued thereon, remains unpaid, serve a notice on him requiring him to pay such call or such part thereof as remains unpaid, together with any accrued interest and together with any expenses that may have been incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment.

9.2		The notice shall name a day, not being less than fourteen days from the date of the notice on or before which the call 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 at which and the person to whom payment is to be made, and shall state that, in the event of non-payment at or before the time and to the person and at the place appointed, the shares in respect of which such call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

9.3		If the notice is not complied with, any shares in respect of which such notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before payment of all calls, interest and expenses due in respect thereof has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors to that effect. Such forfeiture shall include all unpaid Dividends, interim Dividends and interest due and to become due thereon and any moneys paid up in advance of calls.

9.4		Where any share has been forfeited in accordance with this Article, notice of the forfeiture shall forthwith be given to the Holder of the share or the person entitled to the share by transmission, as the case may be, and an entry of such notice having been given of the forfeiture, with the date thereof, shall forthwith be made in the Register opposite the shares, but no forfeiture shall be in any manner invalidated by any omission or neglect to give such notice or to make such entry as aforesaid.

9.5		Notwithstanding any such forfeiture as aforesaid, the Directors may, at any time before the forfeited share has been otherwise disposed of permit the share so forfeited to be redeemed upon payment of all calls and interest due upon and expenses incurred in respect of the share, and upon such further terms (if any) as they shall think fit.

9.6		Every share which shall be forfeited shall thereupon become the property of the Company, and may be either cancelled or sold, or re-allotted or otherwise disposed of by the Directors, 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. The Directors may annul any forfeiture upon such terms as they shall think fit.

9.7		A Member whose shares have been forfeited shall, notwithstanding, be liable to pay to the Company all calls made or payable and not paid on such shares at the time of forfeiture, and interest thereon to the date of payment, and all expenses (whether then payable or not) in the same manner in all respects as if the shares had not been forfeited, 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 the forfeiture, without any deduction or allowance for the value of the shares at the time of forfeiture.

9.8		The forfeiture of a share shall involve the extinction at the time of forfeiture 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 and the Company, except only such of those rights and liabilities as are by this Article expressly saved, or as are by the Statutes given or imposed in the case of past Members.

9.9		A declaration in writing that the declarant is a Director of the Company and that a share has been duly forfeited in pursuance of this Article, and stating the time when it was forfeited, shall, as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the share adversely to the forfeiture thereof, be conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated, and such declaration together with a certificate of proprietorship of the share delivered to a purchaser or allottee thereof, shall constitute a good title to the share and the new Holder thereof shall be discharged from all calls made and other moneys payable prior to such purchase or allotment.

9.10		Upon any sale after forfeiture, or for enforcing a lien in purported exercise of the powers herein given, the Directors may nominate some person to execute a transfer of the share sold in the name and on behalf of the registered Holder or his legal personal representative and on such transfer being executed by the purchaser may cause the purchaser’s name to be entered in the Register in respect of the shares sold and the purchaser shall not be bound to see to the regularity of the proceedings or to the application of the purchase money, and after his name has been entered in the Register in respect of such shares the validity of the sale shall not be impeached by any person and the remedy of any person aggrieved by the sale shall be in damages only and against the Company exclusively.

10.		TRANSFER OF SHARES

10.1		Subject to such of the restrictions of these Articles as may be applicable, any Member may transfer all or any of his shares by instrument in writing in the usual or common form or in any other form which the Directors may approve. The instrument of transfer shall be executed by the transferor (and in the case of partly paid shares by the transferee) and the transferor shall be deemed to remain the Holder of the share until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register in respect thereof. Shares of different classes shall not be transferred by the same instrument of transfer.

10.2		Every instrument of transfer shall be left at the Office, or such other place as the Directors may prescribe, with the certificate of every share to be thereby transferred and such other

evidence as the Directors may reasonably require to prove the title of the transferor or his right to transfer the shares; and the transfer and certificate shall remain in the custody of the Directors but shall be at all reasonable times produced at the request and expense of the transferor or transferee and their respective representatives or any of them. A new certificate shall be delivered to the transferee after the transfer is completed and registered on his application for the same and when necessary a balance certificate shall be delivered to the transferor if required by him in writing.

10.3		Subject to Article 10.4 below, the Directors may, in their discretion and without assigning any reasons therefor, refuse to register a transfer of any share to any person whom they shall not approve as transferee. 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 transferee notice of the refusal.

10.4		Notwithstanding anything contained in these Articles, the Board shall not decline to register, nor suspend registration of, any transfer of shares where such transfer is:-

	10.4.1		in favour of any person, bank or institution (or any nominee or nominees of such a person, bank or institution) to whom such shares are being transferred by way of security, or any transferee of any such person, bank or institution (or nominee) to whom the shares are being transferred pursuant to, or otherwise arising from, the power of sale under such security; or

	10.4.2		duly executed by any such person, bank or institution (or any such nominee or nominees) or any transferee of such person, bank or institution (or nominee), to whom such shares (including any further shares in the Company acquired by reason of its holding of such shares) have been transferred as aforesaid, pursuant to, or otherwise arising from, the power of sale under such security,

			and written confirmation by such person or any official of such bank or institution that the shares are subject to such security and the transfer is executed in accordance with the provision of this Article shall be conclusive evidence of such facts.

11.		RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER AND TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

11.1		Except where a transfer is made pursuant to Article 10.4 and in which case, no restrictions on transfer shall apply, no share shall be sold, transferred or assigned to a person who is not a Member so long as any existing Member is willing to purchase the same at a fair value and in such cases the following provisions will apply.

11.2		Except where a transfer is made pursuant to Article 10.4 in which case, no restrictions on transfer shall apply, every Member who desires to transfer any share or shares (the “Vendor”) shall give to the Company notice in writing of such desire (a “Transfer Notice”). Subject as hereinafter mentioned, a Transfer Notice shall constitute the Company’s appointment as the

Vendor’s agent for the sale of the share or shares specified therein (“the Shares”) to the Members at a price to be agreed upon by the Vendor and the Directors or, in case of difference, at the price which the auditor of the Company for the time being acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator shall certify to be in his opinion the fair value thereof as between a willing seller and a willing buyer. A Transfer Notice may contain a provision that unless all the Shares comprised therein are sold by the Company pursuant hereto none shall be so sold and any such provision shall be binding on the Company.

11.3		If the auditor is asked to certify the fair price as aforesaid, the Company shall, as soon as it receives the auditor’s certificate, furnish a certified copy thereof to the Vendor and the Vendor shall be entitled by notice in writing given to the Company within seven days of the service upon him of the said certified copy, to cancel the Company’s authority to sell the Shares. The cost of obtaining the certificate shall be borne by the Company.

11.4		Upon the price being fixed as aforesaid and provided the Vendor shall not give notice of cancellation as aforesaid, the Company shall forthwith by notice in writing inform each Member other than the Vendor of the number and price of the Shares and invite each such Member to apply in writing to the Company within twenty-eight days of the date of dispatch of the notice (which date shall be specified therein) for such maximum number of the Shares (being all or any thereof) as he shall specify in such application.

11.5		If the said Members shall within the said period of twenty-eight days apply for all or (except where the Transfer Notice provides otherwise) any of the Shares, the Directors shall allocate the shares (or so many of them as shall be applied for as aforesaid) to or amongst the applicants and in case of competition pro rata (as nearly as possible) according to the number of shares in the Company of which they are registered or unconditionally entitled to be registered as Holders, provided that no applicant shall be obliged to take more than the maximum number of Shares specified by him as aforesaid; and the Company shall forthwith give notice of such allocations (an “Allocation Notice”) to the Vendor and to the persons to whom the Shares have been allocated and shall specify in such notice the place and time (being not earlier than fourteen and not later than twenty-eight days after the date of the notice) at which the sale of the Shares so allocated shall be completed.

11.6		The Vendor shall be bound to transfer the Shares comprised in an Allocation Notice to the purchasers named therein at the time and place therein specified; and if he shall fail to do so, the chairman of the Company or some other person appointed by the Directors shall be deemed to have been appointed the agent of the Vendor with full power to execute, complete and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Vendor, transfers of the Shares to the Purchasers thereof against payment of the price to the Company. On payment of the price to the Company the Purchaser shall be deemed to have obtained a good receipt for such payment and on execution and delivery of the transfer the Purchaser shall be entitled to insist upon his name being entered in the Register of Members as the Holder by transfer of the Shares. The

Company shall forthwith pay the price into a separate bank account and shall hold such price on trust absolutely for the Vendor.

11.7		If the Company shall not, within the space of twenty-eight days after being served with a Transfer Notice, find a Member willing to purchase the shares and give notice in manner aforesaid, the proposing transferor shall, at any time within three months afterwards, be at liberty, subject to Article 10.3, to sell and transfer the shares or those not placed to any person at a price not less than that fixed in the Transfer Notice or the fair value fixed by the auditor under Article 11.2, whichever is lower.
