partly exempt from the provisions of this Article. The Company's lien, if any, on a share will extend to all dividends payable on that share.
|
28. |
The Company may sell any shares on which it has a lien at such time and in such manner as will be determined by the Board of Directors. However, no sale will be made prior to the lapse of fourteen (14) days from the date of sending a
notice in writing to the registered Shareholders, demanding payment of such sum and giving notice of the Company's intention to sell in default. To give effect to any such sale, the Board of Directors may authorize transfer of the shares
sold to the purchaser who will be registered as the holder of the Shares. The Company will receive the net proceeds of the sale which will be applied in payment of the sum then payable on the lien. The balance of the sale proceeds, if
any, will be paid to the person holding the shares immediately prior to the sale, subject to any lien for sums that were not currently payable for the shares prior to the sale.
|
29. |
The Board of Directors may, at its discretion, from time to time authorize the amount and manner of the consideration to be given to the Company for shares. The Board may also make calls on Shareholders for any moneys unpaid on their
shares. Each Shareholder will be liable to pay the amount of every call so made on him to the persons and at the times, places and installments specified by the Board. A call may be revoked or postponed as the Board may determine.
|
30. |
A call will be considered to have been made, at the time the Board of Directors approves the resolution authorizing such call.
|
31. |
The joint shareholders of a share will be jointly and severally liable for the payment of all calls and related installments.
|
32. |
The Board of Directors may, at its discretion, authorize receipt of advances from any shareholder relating to future calls on shares. The Board may authorize interest to be paid as may be agreed with the advancing shareholder.
|
33. |
Any sum that, by the terms of a share, is payable upon the share's allotment or at any fixed date, will be considered to be a call duly made and payable on the date fixed for such payment. In case of non-payment of such sum, the
relevant provisions of these Articles will apply as if such sum were a call duly made and notified according to these Articles.
|
34. |
The Board of Directors may, upon the issue of shares, differentiate between the Shareholders as to the amount of calls to be paid and the times of payment.
|
35. |
If any shareholder fails to pay all or part of any call or installment of a call on or before the day set for such payment, the Board of Directors may serve a notice on such Shareholder. The notice will require payment of the amount
remaining unpaid together with interest, at such rate as the Board will determine, and any expenses that may have accrued by reason of such non-payment. The notice will state a date, not less than fourteen (14) days from the date of the
notice, on or before which such call or installment, and all interest and expenses that have accrued by reason of such non- payment are to be paid. It will also state the place where payment is to be made, and will state that in the event
of non-payment on or before the time and at the place set, the shares for which such call was made will be liable to be forfeited. If the requirements of any such notice are not met, any share for which such notice has been given may, as
long as the payment required by the notice has not been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Board to that effect. A forfeiture of shares will include all dividends applicable to the shares not actually paid before the forfeiture,
even if the dividend has already been declared.
|
36. |
When any shares have been forfeited in accordance with these Articles, notice of forfeiture will be promptly given to the Shareholder or to the person entitled to the shares by transmission, as the case may be. An entry of such notice
having been given and of the date of the forfeiture of the applicable shares will be made in the Register. However, a forfeiture will not be invalid solely due to the failure to give such notice or to make such entry in the Register.
|
37. |
(a) Following a forfeiture, the Board of Directors may, at any time before the forfeited share has been otherwise disposed of, revoke the forfeiture and return the share to the Shareholder
on terms determined by the Board.
|
38. |
A person whose shares have been forfeited will remain liable to pay to the Company all calls made and not paid on such shares at the time of forfeiture, and interest thereon to date of payment, in the same manner as if the shares had
not been forfeited. Such person will also remain liable to satisfy any claims and demands which the Company might have enforced regarding the shares at the time of forfeiture, without any deduction or allowance for the value of the shares
at the time of forfeiture. However, if the Company chooses to sell the forfeited shares, then the net consideration received by the Company for such shares will be deducted from the amount the person whose shares have been forfeited is
liable to pay the Company.
|
39. |
The forfeiture of a share will cause the extinction at the time of forfeiture of all claims and demands against the Company regarding the share, and all other rights and liabilities relating to the share as between the forfeiting
Shareholder and the Company, except as provided by law.
|
40. |
A written declaration by a Director that a share has been duly forfeited according to these Articles and stating the date of forfeiture, will be conclusive evidence of the facts stated in the declaration against any persons claiming to
be entitled to the forfeited shares. Such declaration, together with the Company's receipt for the consideration, if any, given for the forfeited shares on their sale or disposition, and a duly signed share certificate delivered to the
purchaser, will confer good title to the shares. Such purchaser will be registered as the holder of the shares.
|
41. |
(a) The Company may, by a Resolution of the Shareholders at a General Meeting, convert any paid-up shares into stock, and may reconvert any stock into paid-up shares of any denomination.
|
42. |
Transfer of fully paid up shares in the Company shall not require the approval of the Board of Directors.
|
43. |
No transfer of shares shall be registered unless a proper instrument of transfer has been submitted to the Company, coupled, to the extent applicable, with the certificate for the shares to be transferred, and any other evidence as the
Board of Directors may reasonably require of the title of the transferor. The transferor will be considered to remain the Shareholder until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register for the applicable shares.
|
44. |
The instrument of transfer of any share shall be in the usual or customary form or as near thereto as possible, and shall be signed by the transferor and transferee.
|
45. |
The Board of Directors may decline to register any transfer of shares, which have not been fully paid up.
|
46. |

|
47. |

|
48. |
The executors and administrators of the deceased sole holder of a share or, if there are no executors or administrators, such persons, heirs (as evidenced by a probate or such other evidence as the Board of Directors may reasonably
deem sufficient) shall be the only persons recognized by the Company as having any title to the share. In case of a share registered in the name of two or more holders, the Company shall recognize the survivor or survivors as the only
persons having any title to or benefit in the share.
|
49. |
The receiver or liquidator of a Shareholder in winding-up or dissolution, or the trustee in bankruptcy, or any official receiver of any bankrupt Shareholder, upon producing such evidence as the Board of Directors may deem sufficient as
to his authority to act in such capacity under this Article, may be registered as a Shareholder in respect of such shares, or may, subject to the regulations as to transfer herein contained, transfer such shares.
|
50. |
The Company may from time to time, at its discretion, bon-ow or secure the payment of any sum or sums of money for the purposes of the Company.
|
51. |
The Company may raise the funds for or secure the repayment of such sum or sums in such manner, at such times and upon such terms and conditions as it deems fit and, in particular, by the issue of bonds, perpetual or redeemable
debentures, debenture stock, or any mortgages or charges, on the whole or any part of the property of the Company, both present and future, including its uncalled capital at that time and its called but unpaid capital.
|
52. |

|
57. |
The Board of Directors will set a record date in accordance with the requirements of the Law, for Shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at a General Meeting. Subject to the terms of the Law, the date to be determined by
the Board, shall not precede the date for which a General Meeting was called by more than forty (40) nor by less than four (4) days (or any longer or shorter period permitted by Law). The determination of a record date shall apply to any
adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may set a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
|
58. |
A written notice of the convening of a General Meeting will be given, at least twenty- one (21) days in advance, or a longer period as may be required under the Law or any other applicable rules and regulations. The notice will specify

Meeting, not taking into account abstentions.
|
63. |
The Chairman of the Board of Directors will preside at any General Meeting as the chairman of the General Meeting, but if there will be no such Chairman, or if at any General Meeting he will not be present or is unwilling to act as
Chairman of the General Meeting, the Shareholders present will choose any Director to act as Chairman of the meeting. If no Director is present, or if all the Directors present decline to take the chair, the Shareholders present will
choose a Shareholder present to be chairman of the meeting. The chairman of any General Meeting shall not be entitled to a second or tie-breaking vote.
|
64. |
The chairman of a General Meeting may, with the consent of any General Meeting at which a quorum is present (and will if so directed by the meeting) adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place. No Shareholder will
have the right to any other notice of adjournment. However, whenever a General Meeting is adjourned for twenty one (21) days or more, notice of the adjourned General Meeting will be given in the same manner as for the original General
Meeting. No business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.
|
65. |
Shareholders in the Company who are registered in the Register on the date determined by the Board of Directors in its resolution to convene a General Meeting and who are present at the meeting, in person or by proxy, or deemed to be
present by a Voting Instrument, shall be entitled to participate in and vote at the General Meeting.
|
66. |
The vote may be by show of hands, by secret ballot, by Voting Instrument or by any other manner authorized by the Board of Directors consistent with the Law. A Shareholder will have one (1) vote for each share held by him. However,

his shares.
|
67. |
A Proxy present at a General Meeting will have the same rights as a Shareholder with respect to voting at a General Meeting. A Proxy may be granted to any person, whether or not such person is a Shareholder.
|
68. |
The vote of the senior of any joint Shareholders, whether in person, by Voting Instrument or by Proxy, will be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of other joint Shareholders. For the purpose of these Articles, seniority will be
determined by the order in which the names appear in the Register.
|
69. |
An objection to a Shareholder's or a Proxy's right to vote in a General Meeting must be raised at the applicable meeting or adjourned meeting in which that person was supposed to vote. The chairman of the meeting will decide whether to
accept or reject any objection raised at the proper time regarding the vote of a Shareholder or Proxy, and the chairman of the General Meeting's decision will be final. Every vote not disqualified as provided above will be valid for all
matters at the General Meeting.
|
70. |
A Shareholder that is a corporation or other form of legal entity will have the right to appoint a person to be its representative at any General Meeting. The representative so appointed will have the right
to exercise on behalf of the entity he represents all the powers that the entity itself might exercise in connection with the General Meeting.
|
71. |
A Shareholder who has been declared legally incompetent or has otherwise been appointed a legal guardian, may, following proof of appointment of a legal guardian or similar representative, vote at a General
Meeting through such guardian or similar representative, whether in person, by Voting Instrument or by Proxy.
|
72. |
A vote by Proxy or by Voting Instrument will be considered valid even in the event of the death or declaration of incompetence of the appointee/signatory or the cancellation of the Proxy appointment or Voting Instrument or expiration
of a Proxy appointment or Voting Instrument in accordance with the Law and any other applicable rules and regulations, or the transfer of the shares for which the Proxy appointment or Voting Instrument was given, unless the Company
receives at the Registered Office, prior to a General Meeting, a written notice as specified below. For a Voting Instrument or Proxy appointment that has been provided to the Company for a specific General Meeting to be considered
invalid, a written notice of cancellation of a Voting Instrument or a Proxy appointment must be duly signed by the applicable Shareholder specifying the applicable shares, the name of the Shareholder, legal representative or successor in
interest and nature of the event invalidating the Proxy appointment or Voting Instrument. In the event of voting by a secret ballot or by Voting Instrument, a notice canceling the appointment of a Proxy will be valid if it is signed by
the appointee/signatory or its legal representative or successor in interest and received at the Registered Office no later than one (1) hour before the beginning of the vote.
|
73. |
A Shareholder will have the right, to vote by a Voting Instrument as an alternative to voting in person or by Proxy. In all applicable cases, the Company will send the Voting Instrument to the Shareholders before the applicable General
Meeting, no later than the time set for that purpose in the Law.
|
74. |
A Shareholder has the right to vote by a separate Proxy with respect to each share held by him, provided that each Proxy will have a separate letter of appointment containing the serial number of the shares for which the Proxy is
entitled to vote. If a specific share is included in more than one (1) letter of appointment, then no Proxy will have the right to vote such share.
|
75. |
An instrument appointing a Proxy, which is not limited in time, will expire twelve (12) months after the date of its execution. If the appointment is for a limited time period, even exceeding twelve (12) months, the instrument will be
valid for such period as specified in the instrument.

set for the applicable original or adjourned General Meeting. Otherwise, that person will not be entitled to vote that share through the instrument. At the request of the chairman of a General Meeting, written evidence of such
authorization, in a reasonably acceptable form and content, satisfactory to the chairman of the General Meeting, shall be furnished to the chairman of the General Meeting.
|
77. |

body.

which such powers are assumed .

Internal Auditor or Independent Certified Accountant) or from giving services for consideration to the Company, save that the additional employment of a Director and the terms thereof must be approved, as required by the Law; nor will a
Director (or any other Officer) be disqualified by the holding of such office with the Company from holding any other office or function or from giving services for consideration to a company in which the Company holds any shares or in
which it is interested in any other way.
|
82. |
Directors will be elected annually by the Shareholders at the Annual Meeting. Directors may be nominated in accordance with rules and regulations that may apply to the Company. Directors will hold office until the conclusion of the
next Annual Meeting or until their earlier removal or resignation. However, if no Directors are elected at an Annual Meeting, then the persons who served as Directors immediately prior to the Annual Meeting shall be deemed reelected at
the same meeting, and will continue to serve as Directors unless otherwise determined by the Annual Meeting. Directors will be eligible for re-election.
