DEHAIER MEDICAL SYSTEMS LIMITED

A COMPANY LIMITED BY SHARES

1. | REGISTERED SHARES

1.1 | Every Shareholder is entitled to a certificate signed by a Director or officer of the Company, or any other person authorized by Resolution of Directors, specifying the number of Shares held by him and the signature of the Director, officer or authorized person and the Seal may be facsimiles. A certificate may be issued in electronic form in accordance with the Electronic Transactions Act, 2001 as from time to time amended or re-enacted.

1.2 | Any Shareholder receiving a certificate shall indemnify and hold the Company and its directors and officers harmless from any loss or liability which it or they may incur by reason of any wrongful or fraudulent use or representation made by any person by virtue of the possession thereof. If a certificate for Shares is worn out or lost it may be renewed on production of the worn out certificate or on satisfactory proof of its loss together with such indemnity as may be required and determined under the Company’s policy as set by Resolution of Directors.

1.3 | If several Persons are registered as joint holders of any Shares, any one of such Persons may give an effectual receipt for any Distribution.

2. | SHARES

2.1 | Shares and other Securities may be issued at such times, to such Persons, for such consideration and on such terms as the Directors may by Resolution of Directors determine.

2.2 | Section 46 of the Act (Pre-emptive Rights) does not apply to the Company.

2.3 | A Share may be issued for consideration in any form, including money, a promissory note, or other written obligation to contribute money or property, real property, personal property (including goodwill and know-how), services rendered or a contract for future services.

2.4 | The consideration for a Share with par value shall not be less than the par value of the Share. If a Share with par value is issued for consideration less than the par value, the person to whom the Share is issued is liable to pay to the Company an amount equal to the difference between the issue price and the par value.

2.5 | No Shares may be issued for a consideration other than money, unless a Resolution of Directors has been passed stating:

| (a) | the amount to be credited for the issue of the Shares;

| (b) | the determination of the Directors of the reasonable present cash value of the non-money consideration for the issue; and

| (c) | that, in the opinion of the Directors, the present cash value of the non-money consideration for the issue is not less than the amount to be credited for the issue of the Shares.

2.6 | The Company shall keep a register (the “register of members”) containing:

| (a) | the names and addresses of the Persons who hold Shares;

| (b) | the number of each class and series of Shares held by each Shareholder;

| (c) | the date on which the name of each Shareholder was entered in the register of members; and

| (d) | the date on which any Person ceased to be a Shareholder.

2.7 | The register of members may be in any such form as the Directors may approve, but if it is in magnetic, electronic or other data storage form, the Company must be able to produce legible evidence of its contents. Until the Directors otherwise determine, the magnetic, electronic or other data storage form shall be the original register of members.

2.8 | A Share is deemed to be issued when the name of the Shareholder is entered in the register of members.

2.9 | The entry of the name of a Person in the register of members as a holder of a Share is prima facie evidence that legal title in the Share vests in that Person.

2.10 | No share may be issued by the Company that:

| (a) | increases the liability of a person to the Company; or

| (b) | imposes a new liability on a person to the Company,

unless that person, or an authorized agent of that person, agrees in writing to becoming the holder of the share.

3. | REDEMPTION OF SHARES AND TREASURY SHARES

3.1 | The Company may purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire and hold its own Shares save that the Company may not, except pursuant to Article 3.7, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire its own Shares without the consent of Shareholders whose Shares are to be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired unless the Company is permitted by the Act or any other provision in the Memorandum or Articles to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire the Shares without their consent.

3.2 | The Company may only offer to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire Shares if the Resolution of Directors authorizing the purchase, redemption or other acquisition contains a statement that the Directors are satisfied, on reasonable grounds, that immediately after the acquisition the value of the Company’s assets will exceed its liabilities and the Company will be able to pay its debts as they fall due.

3.3 | Sections 60 (Process for acquisition of own shares), 61 (Offer to one or more shareholders) and 62 (Shares redeemed otherwise than at the option of company) of the Act shall not apply to the Company.

2

3.4 | Shares that the Company purchases, redeems or otherwise acquires pursuant to this Article may be cancelled or held as Treasury Shares except to the extent that such Shares are in excess of 50% of the issued Shares in which case they shall be cancelled to the extent of such excess but they shall be available for reissue.

3.5 | All rights and obligations attaching to a Treasury Share are suspended and shall not be exercised by the Company while it holds the Share as a Treasury Share.

3.6 | Treasury Shares may be transferred by the Company on such terms and conditions (not otherwise inconsistent with the Memorandum and the Articles) as the Company may by Resolution of Directors determine.

3.7 | Where:

| (a) | the Company undertakes any division of the issued Shares pursuant to section 40A of the Act, and

| (b) | pursuant to such division a Shareholder holds a total number of Shares which includes a fractional Share,

the Company may compulsorily redeem such fractional Share so that (subsequent to such redemption) the Shareholder holds a whole number of Shares.

4. | MORTGAGES AND CHARGES OF SHARES

4.1 | Shareholders may mortgage or charge their Shares.

4.2 | There shall be entered in the register of members at the written request of the Shareholder:

4.3 | Where particulars of a mortgage or charge are entered in the register of members, such particulars may be cancelled:

| (a) | with the written consent of the named mortgagee or chargee or anyone authorized to act on his behalf; or

| (b) | upon evidence satisfactory to the Directors of the discharge of the liability secured by the mortgage or charge and the issue of such indemnities as the Directors shall consider necessary or desirable.

4.4 | Whilst particulars of a mortgage or charge over Shares are entered in the register of members pursuant to this Article:

| (a) | no transfer of any Share the subject of those particulars shall be effected;

| (b) | the Company may not purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any such Share; and

3

| (c) | no replacement certificate shall be issued in respect of such Shares, without the written consent of the named mortgagee or chargee.

5. | FORFEITURE

5.1 | Shares that are not fully paid on issue are subject to the forfeiture provisions set forth in this Article and for this purpose Shares issued for a promissory note, other written obligation to contribute money or property or a contract for future services are deemed to be not fully paid.

5.2 | A written notice of call specifying the date for payment to be made shall be served on the Shareholder who defaults in making payment in respect of the Shares.

5.3 | The written notice of call referred to in Article 5.2 shall name a further date not earlier than the expiration of 14 days from the date of service of the notice on or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made and shall contain a statement that in the event of non-payment at or before the time named in the notice the Shares, or any of them, in respect of which payment is not made will be liable to be forfeited.

5.4 | Where a written notice of call has been issued pursuant to Article 5.3 and the requirements of the notice have not been complied with, the Directors may, at any time before tender of payment, forfeit and cancel the Shares to which the notice relates.

6. | TRANSFER AND TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

6.1 | Shares may be transferred by a written instrument of transfer signed by the transferor and containing the name and address of the transferee, which shall be sent to the Company for registration.

6.2 | The transfer of a Share is effective when the name of the transferee is entered on the register of members.

6.3 | If the directors or a duly authorized committee of directors of the Company are satisfied that an instrument of transfer relating to Shares has been signed but that the instrument has been lost or destroyed, they may resolve by Resolution of Directors:

| (a) | to accept such evidence of the transfer of Shares as they consider appropriate; and

| (b) | that the transferee’s name should be entered in the register of members notwithstanding the absence of the instrument of transfer.

6.4 | Subject to the Memorandum, the personal representative of a deceased Shareholder may transfer a Share even though the personal representative is not a Shareholder at the time of the transfer.

7. | MEETINGS AND CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS

7.1 | Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Shareholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting (as provided for in Articles 7.3 and 7.4) of the Shareholders entitled to vote on such action and may not be effected by a Resolution consented to in writing.

7.2 | All meetings of Shareholders (whether annual or special) shall be held on such dates and at such places as may be fixed from time to time by the directors.

4

7.3 | A meeting of Shareholders, which shall be held no more than once in each calendar year, for such business as may come before the meeting (the “annual meeting of Shareholders”) shall be held at such date and time as may be determined by the directors.

7.4 | A meeting of Shareholders other than an annual meeting of Shareholders which shall be held for the consideration of any business, including the election of directors, shall hereinafter be referred to as a “special meeting of Shareholders.” A special meeting of Shareholders may be called by the directors pursuant to a Resolution of Directors at such date, time and for the consideration of any business as may be determined by the directors, save that upon the written request of Shareholders holding at least 30 percent of the votes of the outstanding voting Shares in the Company, the directors shall convene a special meeting of Shareholders in respect of the matter for which the meeting is requested. If a special meeting of Shareholders is called upon by the written request of Shareholders pursuant to the previous sentence, then such written request must specify the nature of the business proposed to be transacted and such business must be a proper matter for Shareholder action, and, as to any proposed business or director nominations that such Shareholders propose to bring before the meeting, such Shareholder must provide with such request the information set forth in subclauses (i) through (viii) of Article 7.17(a). Furthermore, any such business must comply with, and shall be subject to, the requirements and provisions of Articles 7.16(b) and 7.17(b).

7.5 | Written notice of all meetings of Shareholders, stating the time, place and, in the case of a special meeting of Shareholders, the purpose or purposes thereof, shall be given by the Company pursuant to a Resolution of Directors not fewer than ten days before the date of the proposed meeting to those persons whose names appear as Shareholders in the register of members on the date of the notice and are entitled to vote at the meeting.

7.6 | The directors may fix the date notice is given of a meeting of Shareholders, or such other date as may be specified in the notice, as the record date for determining those Shares that are entitled to vote at the meeting.

7.7 | A meeting of Shareholders may be called on short notice:

| (a) | if Shareholders holding not less than 90 percent of the total number of Shares entitled to vote on all matters to be considered at the meeting, or 90 percent of the votes of each class or series of Shares where Shareholders are entitled to vote thereon as a class or series together with not less than a 90 percent majority of the remaining votes, have agreed to short notice of the meeting, or

| (b) | if all Shareholders holding Shares entitled to vote on all or any matters to be considered at the meeting have waived notice of the meeting and for this purpose presence at the meeting shall be deemed to constitute waiver.

7.8 | The inadvertent failure of the directors to give notice of a meeting to a Shareholder, or the fact that a Shareholder has not received notice, does not invalidate the meeting.

7.9 | A Shareholder may be represented at a meeting of Shareholders by a proxy who may speak and vote on behalf of the Shareholder.

7.10 | The instrument appointing a proxy shall be produced at the place appointed for the meeting before the time for holding the meeting at which the person named in such instrument proposes to vote.

7.11 | An instrument appointing a proxy shall be in such form as the Directors may from time to time determine or such other form as the chairman of the meeting shall accept as properly evidencing the wishes of the Shareholder appointing the proxy.

5

Execution of the instrument appointing a proxy may be accomplished by the Shareholder or such Shareholder’s authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing such instrument by any reasonable means, including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature. A Shareholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such Shareholder as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of such communication evidencing the Shareholder’s intention to appoint a person or persons as his proxy by means of a telegram, cablegram, or other means of electronic transmission (including but not limited to, via internet or telephone) to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any such telegram, cablegram or the other means of electronic transmission (which must be supported by printed evidence thereof) must be either set forth or be submitted with written information from which it can be determined that the telegram, cablegram or printed evidence of the other electronic transmission was authorized by the Shareholder. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to this Article 7.11 may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

7.12 | The following applies where Shares are jointly owned:

| (a) | if two or more persons hold Shares jointly each of them may be present in person or by proxy at a meeting of Shareholders and may speak as a Shareholder;

| (b) | if only one of the joint owners is present in person or by proxy, he may vote on behalf of all joint owners; and

| (c) | if two or more of the joint owners are present in person or by proxy, they must vote as one.

7.13 | Subject to such limitations, restrictions, guidelines and procedures as may be established by the directors by Resolution of Directors from time to time, a Shareholder shall be deemed to be present at a meeting of Shareholders if he participates by telephone or other electronic means and all Shareholders participating in the meeting are able to hear each other.

7.14 | A meeting of Shareholders is duly constituted if, at the commencement of the meeting, there are present in person or by proxy not less than 50% of the votes of the Shares entitled to vote on the Resolutions of Shareholders to be considered at the meeting. If a quorum be present, notwithstanding the fact that such quorum may be represented by only a single Shareholder or proxy, then such person may pass a Resolution of Shareholders and a certificate signed by such person accompanied where such person be a proxy by a copy of the proxy instrument shall constitute a valid Resolution of Shareholders. The Shareholders present at a duly called or held meeting of Shareholders at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough Shareholders to leave less than a quorum, if any action (other than adjournment) is approved by at least a majority of the Shares required to constitute a quorum.

7.15 | If within two hours from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of Shareholders, shall be dissolved; in any other case it shall stand adjourned to the next business day in the jurisdiction in which the meeting was to have been held at the same time and place or to such other time and place as the chairman of the meeting may determine, and if at the adjourned meeting there are present within one hour from the time appointed for the meeting in person or by proxy not less than one third of the votes of the Shares or each class or series of Shares entitled to vote on the matters to be considered by the meeting, those present shall constitute a quorum but otherwise the meeting shall be dissolved.

6

7.16 |  | (a) |  | At any annual meeting of Shareholders, only proposals of business which have been made in accordance with this Article shall be eligible to be brought before such meeting:
|  |  |  | (i) |  | by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board or by Resolution of Directors;
|  |  |  | (ii) |  | by any Shareholder who is a holder of record as of the record date established pursuant to Article 7.6 who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the requirements and procedures set out in Article 7.17.
|  | (b) |  | At any special meeting of Shareholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the notice of meeting made pursuant to Article 7.5.
7.17 |  | (a) |  | For business to be properly brought to an annual meeting of Shareholders by a Shareholder, such business must be a proper matter for Shareholder action and the Shareholder must have given timely written notice thereof, either by personal delivery or by prepaid registered post to the Secretary of the Company (the “Secretary”) at the principal executive offices of the Company. To be considered timely in connection with an annual meeting of Shareholders, a Shareholder’s notice must be delivered not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the anniversary date of the prior year’s annual meeting of Shareholders; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting of Shareholders changed by more than 30 days from such anniversary date, notice from a Shareholder shall also be considered timely if it is delivered not earlier than 90 days prior to such annual meeting nor later than the later of (i) 60 days prior to such annual meeting or (ii) the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which public disclosure is first made of the date of such annual meeting of Shareholders. For the purposes of this Article 7.17, any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) of the original annual meeting of Shareholders whereby such meeting will reconvene within 30 days from original date shall be deemed, for purposes of notice, to be a continuation of such original annual meeting of Shareholders and no business may be brought before any reconvened meeting unless such timely notice of such business was properly given to the Secretary for the meeting as originally scheduled. A Shareholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set out:
|  |  |  | (i) |  | a brief description of the proposal or the business desired to be brought before the meeting;
|  |  |  | (ii) |  | the full text of the proposal or business (including the full text of any resolutions proposed for consideration, and, in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend either the Memorandum or the Articles of the Company, the full text of the proposed amendment) and such other information regarding such proposal as would be required in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission had such proposal been made by the Company;
|  |  |  | (iii) |  | the reasons for making the proposal or conducting such business at the meeting;
|  |  |  | (iv) |  | a representation that the Shareholder is a holder of record of Shares in the Company entitled to vote at such meeting and that such Shareholder intends to appear in person or by a proxy at the meeting to conduct the business being proposed as specified in the notice;
|  |  |  | (v) |  | the name and address of record of the Shareholder proposing such business and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made;

7

| (vi) | the class and number of Shares of the Company which are owned beneficially or of record by such Shareholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made;

| (vii) | any material interest of such Shareholder, and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, in such proposal or business and a description of all relationships, arrangements or understandings between the Shareholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and

| (viii) | if the Shareholder or the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made intends to solicit proxies in support of such Shareholder’s or beneficial owner’s proposal, a representation to that effect.

(b) | Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other Article contained in the Articles, nothing in Articles 7.4, 7.16(a)(ii), 7.16(b) or 7.17 shall be interpreted or construed to require the inclusion of information about any such proposal in any proxy statement distributed by, at the direction of, or on behalf of, the directors. The chairman of a meeting of Shareholders shall have the power and the duty, if the facts so warrant, to determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of Articles 7.4, 7.16 or 7.17 and, if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted. Notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere in these Articles, if a Shareholder has notified the Company of his intention to present a proposal at a meeting of Shareholders and such Shareholder does not appear or send a qualified representative, as determined by the chairman of the meeting, to present such proposal at such meeting, the Company need not present such proposal for a vote at such meeting notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Company. Notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere in these Articles, a Shareholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in Articles 7.4, 7.16(a)(ii), 7.16(b) and 7.17. Nothing in these Articles shall be deemed to affect any rights of Shareholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Company’s proxy statement pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act.

7.18 | At every meeting of Shareholders, the Chairman of the Board shall preside as chairman of the meeting. If there is no Chairman of the Board or if the Chairman of the Board is not present at the meeting, the vice-Chairman of the Board shall be the chairman of the meeting. If there is no vice-Chairman of the Board or if the vice-Chairman of the Board is not present at the meeting, the chief executive officer shall be the chairman of the meeting. In the absence of the chief executive officer, such other person as shall be selected by the Board shall act as chairman of the meeting. Subject to the Memorandum and these Articles, the Board may adopt by Resolution of Directors, rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings of Shareholders as it shall deem appropriate relating to:

| (a) | the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting and other matters pertaining to the conduct of the meeting;

| (b) | maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present;

| (c) | limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting of shareholders of record, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the directors or chairman of the meeting shall determine;

| (d) | restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for commencement thereof; and

| (e) | limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants,

8

7.19 | Subject to the Memorandum, these Articles and any Resolution of Directors, the chairman of the meeting of Shareholders shall have the right and authority to prescribe rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings of Shareholders as he shall deem appropriate, including but not limited to the matters described in Articles 7.18 (a) through (e) above.

7.20 | The chairman of the meeting may adjourn any meeting from time to time, and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.

7.21 | At any meeting of the Shareholders, the chairman of the meeting is responsible for deciding in such manner as he considers appropriate whether any resolution proposed has been carried or not, and the result of his decision shall be announced to the meeting (including any adjournment thereof) and recorded in the minutes of the meeting. If the chairman has any doubt as to the outcome of the vote on a proposed resolution, he shall cause a poll to be taken of all votes cast upon such resolution. If the chairman fails to take a poll, then any Shareholder present in person or by proxy who disputes the announcement by the chairman of the result of any vote may immediately following such announcement demand that a poll be taken and the chairman shall cause a poll to be taken. If a poll is taken at any meeting, the result shall be announced to the meeting (including any adjournment thereof) and recorded in the minutes of the meeting.

7.22 | Any person other than an individual shall be regarded as one Shareholder and subject to the specific provisions hereinafter contained for the appointment of representatives of such persons the right of any individual to speak for or represent such Shareholder shall be determined by the law of the jurisdiction where, and by the documents by which, the person is constituted or derives its existence. In case of doubt, the directors may in good faith seek legal advice and unless and until a court of competent jurisdiction shall otherwise rule, the directors may rely and act upon such advice without incurring any liability to any Shareholder.

7.23 | Any person other than an individual which is a Shareholder of the Company may by resolution of its directors or other governing body of such person authorize such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Shareholders or meeting of any class of Shareholders of the Company, and the person so authorized shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the person which he represents as that person could exercise if it were an individual Shareholder.

7.24 | The chairman of any meeting at which a vote is cast by proxy or on behalf of any person other than an individual may call for a notarially certified copy of such proxy or authority which shall be produced within 7 days of being so requested or the votes cast by such proxy or on behalf of such person shall be disregarded.

7.25 | Directors of the Company may attend and speak at any meeting of Shareholders and at any separate meeting of the holders of any class or series of Shares.

7.26 | No business of the Company shall be conducted at a meeting of shareholders except in accordance with the provisions of this Article 7.

8. | DIRECTORS

An alternate Director shall, if his appointer so requests, be entitled to receive notices of meetings of the Board or of committees of the Board to the same extent as, but in lieu of, the Director appointing him and shall be entitled to such extent to attend at and vote as a Director at any such meeting at which the Director appointing him is not personally present and to exercise and discharge all the functions, powers and duties of his appointer as a Director and for the purposes of the proceedings at such meeting the provisions of these Articles shall apply as if he were a Director.

8.21 | Every person acting as an alternate Director shall (except as regards power to appoint an alternate Director and remuneration) be subject in all respects to the provisions of these Articles relating to Directors and shall alone be responsible to the Company for his acts and defaults and shall not be deemed to be the agent of or for the Director appointing him. An alternate Director may be paid expenses and shall be entitled to be indemnified by the Company to the same extent mutatis mutandis as if he were a Director but shall not be entitled to receive from the Company any fee in his capacity as an alternate Director except only such part (if any) of the remuneration otherwise payable to the Director appointing him as such Director may by notice in writing to the Company from time to time direct.

8.22 | Every person acting as an alternate Director shall have one vote for each Director for whom he acts as alternate (in addition to his own vote if he is also a Director). The signature of an alternate Director to any resolution in writing of the Board or a committee of the Board shall, unless the notice of his appointment provides to the contrary, be as effective as the signature of his appointer.

8.23 | An alternate Director shall ipso facto cease to be an alternate Director if his appointer ceases for any reason to be a Director provided that, if at any meeting any Director retires by rotation or otherwise but is re-elected at the same meeting, any appointment made by him pursuant to this Article which was in force immediately before his retirement shall remain in force as though he had not retired.

8.24 | Each of the Directors shall be paid a fee at such rate as may from time to time be determined by the Board provided that the aggregate of all such fees so paid to Directors (excluding amounts payable under any other Article and any amount payable under any service contract) shall not exceed US$100,000 per annum, or such higher amount as may from time to time be determined by Resolution of Shareholders.

8.25 | As the Board determines each Director may be paid his reasonable travelling, hotel and incidental expenses of attending and returning from meetings of the Board or committees of the Board or meetings of Shareholders or separate meetings of the holders of any class or series of Shares or of debentures of the Company and shall be paid all expenses properly and reasonably incurred by him in the conduct of the Company’s business or in the discharge of his duties as a Director. Any Director who, by request, goes or resides abroad for any purposes of the Company or who performs services which in the opinion of the Board go beyond the ordinary duties of a Director may be paid such extra remuneration (whether by way of salary, commission, participation in profits or otherwise) as the Board may determine and such extra remuneration shall be in addition to any remuneration provided for by or pursuant to any other Article.

9. | POWERS OF DIRECTORS

9.1 | The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by, or under the direction or supervision of, the Directors. The Directors have all the powers necessary for managing, and for directing and supervising, the business and affairs of the Company. The Directors may pay all expenses incurred preliminary to and in connection with the incorporation of the Company and may exercise all such powers of the Company as are not by the Act or by the Memorandum or the Articles required to be exercised by the Shareholders.

9.2 | Each Director shall exercise his powers for a proper purpose and shall not act or agree to the Company acting in a manner that contravenes the Memorandum, the Articles or the Act. Each Director, in exercising his powers or performing his duties, shall act honestly and in good faith in what the Director believes to be the best interests of the Company.

9.3 | If the Company is the wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company, a Director may, when exercising powers or performing duties as a Director, act in a manner which he believes is in the best interests of the holding company even though it may not be in the best interests of the Company.

9.4 | Any Director which is a body corporate may appoint any individual as its duly authorized representative for the purpose of representing it at meetings of the Directors, with respect to the signing of consents or otherwise.

9.5 | The continuing Directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body.

9.6 | The Directors may by Resolution of Directors exercise all the powers of the Company to incur indebtedness, liabilities or obligations and to secure indebtedness, liabilities or obligations whether of the Company or of any third party. The Directors shall have unlimited power to borrow money on behalf of the Company.

9.7 | All cheques, promissory notes, drafts, bills of exchange and other negotiable instruments and all receipts for moneys paid to the Company shall be signed, drawn, accepted, endorsed or otherwise executed, as the case may be, in such manner as shall from time to time be determined by Resolution of Directors.

9.8 | For the purposes of Section 175 (Disposition of assets) of the Act, the Directors may by Resolution of Directors determine that any sale, transfer, lease, exchange or other disposition is in the usual or regular course of the business carried on by the Company and such determination is, in the absence of fraud, conclusive.

13

10.4 | A Director shall be given not less than 3 days’ notice of meetings of Directors, but a meeting of Directors held without 3 days’ notice having been given to all Directors shall be valid if all the Directors entitled to vote at the meeting who do not attend waive notice of the meeting, and for this purpose the presence of a Director at a meeting shall constitute waiver by that Director. The inadvertent failure to give notice of a meeting to a Director, or the fact that a Director has not received the notice, does not invalidate the meeting.

10.5 | A meeting of Directors is duly constituted for all purposes if at the commencement of the meeting there are present in person or by alternate not less than one-half of the total number of Directors, unless there are only 2 Directors in which case the quorum is 2.

10.6 | If the Company has only one Director the provisions herein contained for meetings of Directors do not apply and such sole Director has full power to represent and act for the Company in all matters as are not by the Act, the Memorandum or the Articles required to be exercised by the Shareholders. In lieu of minutes of a meeting the sole Director shall record in writing and sign a note or memorandum of all matters requiring a Resolution of Directors. Such a note or memorandum constitutes sufficient evidence of such resolution for all purposes.

10.7 | At meetings of Directors at which the Chairman of the Board is present, he shall preside as chairman of the meeting. If there is no Chairman of the Board or if the Chairman of the Board is not present, the Directors present shall choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

10.8 | An action that may be taken by the Directors or a committee of Directors at a meeting may also be taken by a Resolution of Directors or a resolution of a committee of Directors consented to in writing by all Directors or by all members of the committee, as the case may be, without the need for any notice. The consent may be in the form of counterparts each counterpart being signed by one or more Directors. If the consent is in one or more counterparts, and the counterparts bear different dates, then the resolution shall take effect on the date upon which the last Director has consented to the resolution by signed counterparts.

11.4 | The meetings and proceedings of each committee of Directors consisting of 2 or more Directors shall be governed mutatis mutandis by the provisions of the Articles regulating the proceedings of Directors so far as the same are not superseded by any provisions in the Resolution of Directors establishing the committee.

11.5 | Where the Directors delegate their powers to a committee of Directors they remain responsible for the exercise of that power by the committee, unless they believed on reasonable grounds at all times before the exercise of the power that the committee would exercise the power in conformity with the duties imposed on Directors under the Act.

12.2 | The officers shall perform such duties as are prescribed at the time of their appointment subject to any modification in such duties as may be prescribed thereafter by Resolution of Directors.

13.1 | A Director shall, forthwith after becoming aware of the fact that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the Company, disclose the interest to all other Directors.

13.2 | For the purposes of Article 13.1, a disclosure to all other Directors to the effect that a Director is a member, director or officer of another named entity or has a fiduciary relationship with respect to the entity or a named individual and is to be regarded as interested in any transaction which may, after the date of the entry into the transaction or disclosure of the interest, be entered into with that entity or individual, is a sufficient disclosure of interest in relation to that transaction.

| (a) | vote on a matter relating to the transaction;

| (b) | attend a meeting of Directors at which a matter relating to the transaction arises and be included among the Directors present at the meeting for the purposes of a quorum; and

14. | INDEMNIFICATION

14.1 | Subject to the limitations hereinafter provided the Company shall indemnify against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings any person who:

| (a) | is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a Director, an officer or a liquidator of the Company; or

16

| (b) | is or was, at the request of the Company, serving as a director, an officer or a liquidator of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another body corporate or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

The indemnity in Article 14.1 only applies if the person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that their conduct was unlawful.

14.2 | The decision of the Directors as to whether the person acted honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company and as to whether the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful is, in the absence of fraud, sufficient for the purposes of the Articles, unless a question of law is involved.

14.3 | The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement, conviction or the entering of a nolle prosequi does not, by itself, create a presumption that the person did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company or that the person had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

14.4 | Expenses, including legal fees, incurred by a Director in defending any legal, administrative or investigative proceedings may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such proceedings upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Director to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the Director is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company in accordance with Article 14.1.

14.5 | Expenses, including legal fees, incurred by a former Director in defending any legal, administrative or investigative proceedings may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such proceedings upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the former Director to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the former Director is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company in accordance with Article 14.1 and upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Company deems appropriate.

14.6 | The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this section is not exclusive of any other rights to which the person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any agreement, Resolution of Shareholders, resolution of disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as acting in the person’s official capacity and as to acting in another capacity while serving as a Director.

14.7 | If a person referred to in Article 14.1 has been successful in defense of any proceedings referred to in Article 14.1, the person is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the proceedings.

24.1 | When the registered address of any Shareholder appears to the Board to be incorrect or out of date such Shareholder may, if the Board so resolves, be treated as if he had no registered address and the Company will not thereafter be obliged to send to such Shareholder cheques, warrants, notices of meetings or copies of the documents referred to in these Articles; provided that no resolution as aforesaid shall be proposed by the Board until cheques or warrants sent to the registered address of such Shareholder have been returned by the Post Office or left uncashed on at least two consecutive occasions or, following one such occasion, reasonable enquiries have failed to establish any new address of such Shareholder.

24.2 | The Company shall be entitled to sell at the best price reasonably obtainable any Share of a Shareholder or any Share to which a person is entitled by transmission if and provided that:

| (a) | for a period of twelve years in the course of which at least three dividends have become payable in respect of the Share in question, no cheque or warrant sent by the Company through the post in a prepaid letter addressed to the Shareholder or to the person entitled by transmission to the Share at his address on the register of members or the other last known address given by the Shareholder or the person entitled by transmission to which cheques and warrants are to be sent has been cashed and no communication has been received by the Company from the Shareholder or the person entitled by transmission; and

24.3 | To give effect to any such sale the Company may appoint any person to execute as transferor an instrument of transfer of such Share and such instrument of transfer shall be as effective as if it had been executed by the registered holder of such Share. The Company shall account to the Shareholder or other person entitled to such Share for the net proceeds of such sale and shall be deemed to be his debtor and not a trustee for him in respect of the same. Any money not accounted for to the Shareholder or other person entitled to such Share shall be carried to a separate account and shall be a permanent debt of the Company. Money carried to such separate account may either be employed in the business of the Company or invested in such investments (other than Shares or its holding company, if any) as the Directors may from time to time think fit.
