40. If the person so becoming entitled elects to be registered himself, he shall deliver or send to the Company a notice in writing signed by him stating that he so elects. If he elects to have another person registered


he shall testify his election by executing to that person a transfer of the share. Except as provided in Article 31, all the limitations, restrictions, and provisions of these Articles relating to the right to transfer and the registration of transfers of shares shall be applicable to any such notice or transfer as aforesaid as if the death or bankruptcy of the member had not occurred and the notice or transfer were a transfer signed by that member.

41. Where the registered holder of any share dies or becomes bankrupt his personal representative or the assignee of his estate, as the case may be, shall, upon the production of such evidence as may from time to time be properly required by the Directors in that behalf, be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages, and to the same rights (whether in relation to meetings of the Company, or to voting, or otherwise), as the registered holder would have been entitled to if he had not died or become bankrupt; and where 2 or more persons are jointly entitled to any share in consequence of the death of the registered holder they shall, for the purposes of these Articles, be deemed to be joint holders of the share.

43. The new shares shall be issued upon such terms and conditions and with such rights and privileges annexed thereto as the general meeting resolving upon the creation thereof shall direct and, if no direction be given, as the Directors with the like concurrence shall determine, and in particular, such shares may be issued with a preferential, qualified, or postponed right to dividends, and in the distribution of assets of the Company, and with a special or without any right of voting.

44. Subject to any direction to the contrary that may be given by the Company in general meeting, all new shares shall, before issue, be offered to all the then members in proportion (as nearly as possible) to the amount of the capital held by them. The offer shall be made by notice specifying the number of shares offered, and limiting a time for acceptance of the offer, failing which it will be deemed to be declined, and if not accepted as aforesaid, the Directors may dispose of those shares in such manner as they think fit.


45. If at any time the capital, by reason of the issue of preference shares or otherwise, is divided into different classes of shares, all or any of the rights and privileges attached to each class may be modified, commuted, abrogated or dealt with by agreement between the Company and any member of the class, provided such agreement is confirmed by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of shares of that class, and all the provisions hereinafter contained as to general meetings shall mutatis mutandis apply to every such meeting but so that the quorum thereof shall be members holding or representing by proxy two-thirds of the nominal amount of the issued shares of the class.

46. The Company in general meeting may, from time to time, by special resolution, reduce its capital by paying of capital or cancelling capital which has been lost or is unrepresented by available assets or reducing the liability on the shares or in any other way whatever allowed by law, as may seem expedient, and, in particular, capital may be paid off or cancelled upon the footing that the amount may be called up again or otherwise.

(b) sub-divide its existing shares, or any of them, into shares of smaller amount than is fixed by the Memorandum of Association subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the Act, and so that, as between the resulting shares, one or more of such shares may by the resolution by which such sub-division is effected be given any preference or advantage as regards dividend, capital, voting or otherwise over the others or any other of such shares; or

(c) cancel any shares not taken or agreed to be taken by any person.

BORROWING POWERS

48. The Directors may, from time to time, raise or borrow or secure the payment of any sum or sums of money for the purposes of the Company.

49. The Directors may raise or secure the repayment of such sum or sums in such manner and upon such terms and conditions in all respects as they think fit, and, in particular, by the issue of debentures or debenture stock of the Company, perpetual or otherwise, charged upon or by mortgage, charge or lien of and on the undertaking or the whole or any part of the property of the Company (both present and future), including its uncalled capital for the time being, or by making, accepting, endorsing or executing any promissory notes or bills of exchange.

50. Every debenture or other instrument for securing the payment of money may be made assignable free from any equities between the Company and the person to whom the same may be issued. Any debenture or debenture stock, bonds or other instruments or securities may be issued at a discount, premium or otherwise and with any special privileges as to redemption, surrender, drawing, allotment of shares, attending and voting at general meetings of the Company, appointment of Directors and otherwise.

51. The Directors shall cause a proper register to be kept, in accordance with the Act, of all mortgages and charges specifically affecting the property of the Company.

52. The first annual general meeting of the Company shall be held at such time within a period of not more than 18 months from the date of incorporation of the Company and at such place as the Directors may determine.

53A. Annual general meetings of the Company shall be held once in every subsequent year at such time (not being more than 15 months after the last preceding annual general meeting) and place as may be determined by the Directors. The Company


may, subject to compliance with the conditions and procedures set out in the Act, dispense with the holding of any general meeting, including an annual general meeting, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Articles.

53B. Subject to the provisions of the Act the Company shall dispense with the holding of annual general meetings if a resolution is passed to that effect at an extraordinary general meeting by all of such members as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy present at such a meeting. The resolution to dispense with the holding of annual general meetings shall not be effective for any annual general meeting which is pass due but not held, at the time the resolution to dispense with annual general meetings is passed, but otherwise shall be valid for the year in which it is passed and for subsequent years.

53C. Notwithstanding that a resolution dispensing with annual general meetings is in force, an annual general meeting shall be convened and held by the Company as far as practically possible within the timelines provided in the Act and in such manner as provided in these Articles, upon the occurrence of any of the following events (whichever is the earliest):

(a) If any member of the Company shall by notice or by electronic communication, sent not later than 3 months before the end of any year require the holding of an annual general meeting in that year; or

(b) If any member or members representing at least 5% of the total voting rights of all members having the right to vote on a resolution at a general meeting of the Company shall within 7 days after the text of a resolution to be passed by written means relating to matters routinely dealt with at or to be done in relation to an annual general meeting of the Company, has been sent or made accessible to such member or members, shall notify the Company to hold a general meeting for that resolution; or

(c) If any member or the Auditors (if any) shall by notice to the Company not later than 28 days from the date the accounts, balance-sheets, and the report of the Directors and the report, if any, of the Auditors and other documents required to be annexed to the balance sheet (collectively “the accounts”), are sent out to all persons entitled to receive notice of general meetings of the Company, require the holding of a general meeting for the purpose of laying out the accounts before the Company.

Company or to such address as may be specified by the Company for that purpose. A notice to the Company may be made by way of other means of electronic communication only if required by the Act, or if specifically agreed between that member (or the Auditors, if any) and the Company by approval of the Directors, and in all cases, subject to all such security and identification procedures as required by the Company.

For the avoidance of doubt, the resolution to dispense with annual general meetings shall continue to be in force for subsequent years notwithstanding the occurrence of any of the aforesaid events in any year, unless and until an ordinary resolution (which may be passed by written means) is passed to revoke the dispensation; or the Company is converted to a public company.

53D. While the resolution to dispense with annual general meetings shall continue to be in force but subject to Article 53(C), any matter that is routinely dealt with at or to be done in relation to an annual general meeting may be dealt with by resolutions of the Company passed by written means.

54. The Directors or any Director may call an extraordinary general meeting of the Company whenever they or he think fit.

55. The Directors shall, on the requisition of members pursuant to Article 53C or 66D, or holding in the aggregate not less than one-tenth of such paid-up capital of the Company which carry voting rights, proceed to convene an extraordinary general meeting of the Company. Such requisition, duly signed by the requisitionists, stating fully the objects of the meeting, shall be deposited at the Office.

56. If the Directors do not proceed to convene a meeting within 21 days after such deposit, the requisitionists, or any of them, holding more than one half of the total voting rights of all of them, may themselves convene an extraordinary general meeting for the business described in the requisition, to be held at such time, within 3 months from the date of such deposit, and at such place as they think fit.

57. If at any such meeting a resolution requiring confirmation at another meeting is passed, the Directors shall forthwith then convene a further extraordinary general meeting for the purpose of considering the resolution and if thought fit confirming it, and if the Directors do not convene such further meeting within 7 days from the date of the passing of the first resolution, the requisitionists or a majority of them in value may themselves convene the meeting. All meetings convened by the


requisitionists under this and the preceding Articles shall be convened in the same manner or as nearly as possible as that in which meetings are to be convened by Directors.

58. Subject to the provisions of the Act relating to matters requiring special notice and agreements for shorter notice, 14 days’ notice at the least, specifying the place, the day and the hour of meeting and, in the case of special business, the general nature of such business, shall be given in the manner hereinafter mentioned to the members entitled to be present at such meeting; but the accidental omission to give such notice or the non-receipt of such notice by any member shall not invalidate any resolution passed or the proceedings at any such meeting.

59. All business shall be deemed special that is transacted at an extraordinary general meeting, and also all that is transacted at an annual general meeting with the exception of sanctioning a dividend, the consideration of the accounts and balance sheets and the ordinary reports of the Directors and the auditor of the Company, and the election of Directors in the place of those retiring and the appointment and fixing of the remuneration of the auditor.

60. Any member entitled to be present and vote at a meeting or his proxy may submit any resolution to any general meeting, provided that at least for the prescribed time before the day appointed for the meeting he shall have served upon the Company a notice in writing by him containing the proposed resolution, and stating his intention to submit the same. The prescribed time above-mentioned shall be such that, between the date that the notice is served and the day appointed for the meeting, there shall be at least 15 intervening days, and for a resolution requiring special notice, at least 29 days.

61.
