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

5 | TRANSFER OF SHARES

5.1 | Subject to section 54A of the Act, 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 so that the Register of Members can be updated to reflect and effect the share transfer.

| (a) | the Member (or its Proxy) participates by telephone or other electronic means; and
| (b) | all Members and Proxies participating in the Members Meeting are able to hear each other.

11.3 | Subject to Sub-Regulation 11.4, if a Members Meeting is convened upon the requisition of a Director or in any other case and a quorum is not present within two hours from the time appointed for the Members Meeting, the Members Meeting shall stand adjourned to the next business day in the jurisdiction in which the Members Meeting was to have been held at the same time and place or to such other time and place as the Directors may determine by a Resolution of Directors. If, at the adjourned Members Meeting, there are present within one hour from the time appointed for the adjourned Members Meeting in person or by Proxy not less than one third voting rights of the Shares or class or series of Shares entitled to vote on the matters to be considered by the Members Meeting, those present shall constitute a quorum but otherwise the Members Meeting shall be dissolved.

11.4 | If a Members Meeting is convened upon the requisition of the Members, and a quorum is not present within two hours from the time appointed for the Members Meeting, the Members meeting shall be dissolved.

11.5 | The Members Chair may, with the consent of the Members at the Members Meeting, adjourn any Members Meeting from time to time, and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned Members Meeting other than the business left unfinished at the Members Meeting from which the adjournment took place.

11.6 | A resolution put to the vote in a Members Meeting shall be decided on a show of hands by the Members holding a Majority of the voting rights of the Shares or class or series of Shares entitled to vote on Resolutions of Members to be considered at the Members Meeting.

11.7 | A declaration by the Members Chair that a Resolution of Members has, on a show of hands been approved, and an entry is made to that effect in the Minute Book, shall be sufficient evidence of the fact, without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against such Resolution of Members.

11.8 | At any Members Meeting, the Members Chair is responsible for deciding in such manner as he or she considers appropriate, whether any resolution proposed has been carried or not and the result of his or her decision shall be announced to the Members Meeting and recorded in the minutes of the Members Meeting. If the Members Chair has any doubt as to the outcome of the vote on a proposed resolution, he or she shall cause a poll to be taken of all votes cast upon such resolution. If the Members Chair fails to take a poll then any Member present in person or by Proxy who disputes the announcement by the Members Chair of the result of any vote may immediately following such announcement demand that a poll be taken and the Members Chair shall cause a poll to be taken. If a poll is taken at any Members Meeting, the result shall be announced to the Members Meeting and recorded in the minutes of the Members Meeting.

11.9 | The right of any individual to speak for or represent a Member who is not an individual shall be determined by the law of the jurisdiction where, and by the documents by which, such Member is constituted or derives its existence. In case of doubt, the Directors may in good faith seek legal advice from any qualified person 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 Member or the Company.

11.10 | Any Member who is not an individual may, by resolution of its directors or other governing body, authorise such individual as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any Members Meeting or of any meeting of a class of Members, and such individual shall be entitled to exercise the same rights on behalf of the Member which he or she represents as that Member could exercise if it were an individual Member.

11.11 | The Members Chair of any Members Meeting at which a vote is cast by Proxy or on behalf of any Eligible Person other than an individual may call for a notarially certified copy of such Proxy or authority which shall be produced within seven (7) days of being so requested or the votes cast by such Proxy or on behalf of such Eligible Person shall be disregarded.

11.12 | The Directors may attend and speak at any Members Meeting and at any separate Members Meeting of the holders of any class or series of Shares.

11.13 | An action that may be taken by the Members at a Members Meeting may also be taken by a Resolution of Members consented to in writing by a Majority of the votes of Shares entitled to vote and voting thereon, without the need for any notice. If any Resolution of Members is adopted otherwise than by the unanimous written consent of all Members, a copy of such resolution shall forthwith be sent to all Members not consenting to such resolution. The consent may be in the form of counterparts, each counterpart being signed by one or more Members. If the consent is in one or more counterparts, and the counterparts bear different dates, then the resolution shall take effect on the earliest date upon which Eligible Persons holding a sufficient number of votes of Shares to constitute a Resolution of Members have consented to the resolution by signed counterparts.

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

11.15 | In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the Members Chair at which the show of hands takes place, or at which the poll is demanded, shall not be entitled to a second or casting vote.

For the avoidance of doubt, a disclosure is only made when it is brought to the attention of every Director.

18.2 | For the purposes of Sub-Regulation 18.1, the disclosure by a Director that he or she is a member, director, officer or trustee of another named entity or other Eligible Person, or has a fiduciary relationship with respect to the entity or other Eligible Person, and is to be regarded as interested in any transaction which may, after the date of the entry or disclosure of interest, be entered into with the Company or that Director, is a sufficient disclosure of interest in relation to that transaction.

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

20.3 | A Director Meeting held without (or on less than) three (3) Business Days’ notice being given to all of the Directors is valid if all of the Directors entitled to vote at the Director Meeting who do not attend have waived the notice of the Director Meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, the presence of a Director at the Director Meeting shall constitute a waiver by that Director (unless he or she objects in writing before or at the Director Meeting).

20.5 | A Director Meeting is duly constituted for all purposes if at the commencement of the Director Meeting there are present in person (or by its Alternate Director) a Majority of the total number of Directors, unless there are only two (2) Directors in which case the quorum will be two (2).

If the Directors are unable to choose a Board Chair, for any reason, then the longest serving Director present at the Director Meeting shall preside as the Board Chair.

20.9 | Questions arising at any Director Meeting shall be decided by a Majority of votes. In case of an equality in votes the Board Chair shall have a second or casting vote.

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.

20.11 | If the Company has only one Director the provisions herein contained for Director Meetings 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 these Articles required to be exercised by the Members. In lieu of minutes of a Director Meeting the sole Director shall record in writing and sign a note or memorandum of all matters requiring a Resolution of Directors.

| (a) | change the Registered Agent of the Registered Office; or
| (b) | fix emoluments of Directors; or
| (c) | authorise the Company to continue as a company incorporated under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the British Virgin Islands.

23.4 | The Resolution of Directors appointing an Agent may authorise the Agent to appoint one or more substitutes or delegates to exercise some or all of the powers conferred on the Agent by the Company.

23.5 | The Directors may remove an Agent and may revoke or vary a power conferred on him or her by a Resolution of Directors.

24 | INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

24.1 | Subject to the limitations provided in this Regulation 24, the Company may indemnify against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgements, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings any Eligible Person who is or was:

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

24.2 | Sub-Regulation 24.1 does not apply unless the Eligible Person acted honestly and in good faith and in what he or she believed to be in the best interests of the Company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the Eligible Person had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

24.3 | For the purposes of Sub-Regulation 24.2, a Director acts in the best interests of the Company if he or she acts in the best interests of the Parent or Member (or Members), in either case, in the circumstances specified in the Act, as the case may be.

24.4 | 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 these Articles, unless a question of law is involved.

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

24.6 | Expenses, including legal fees, incurred by a Director (or 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 Director (or a former director) to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the Director (or a former director) is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company in accordance with Sub-Regulation 24.1 and upon such other terms and conditions, if any, as the Company deems appropriate.

24.7 | The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Regulation 24 is not exclusive of any other rights to which the Eligible Person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any agreement, Resolution of Members, resolution of disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to acting in the Eligible Person’s official capacity and as to acting in another capacity while serving as a Director.

24.9 | The Company shall not indemnify an Eligible Person in breach of Sub-Regulation 24.2, and any indemnity given in breach of Sub-Regulation 24.2 is void and of no effect.

24.10 | The Company may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any Eligible Person who is or was a Director, Officer or liquidator of the Company, or who at the request of the Company is or was serving as a Director, Officer or liquidator of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another body corporate or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against the Eligible Person and incurred by the Eligible Person in that capacity, whether or not the Company has or would have had the power to indemnify the Eligible Person against the liability as provided in these Articles.

25 | SEAL

25.1 | The Company shall have a Seal and an imprint of the Seal shall be kept at the Registered Office.

25.2 | The Company may have more than one Seal and references herein to the Seal shall be references to every Seal which shall have been duly adopted by Resolution of Directors.

25.3 | Except as otherwise expressly provided herein the Seal when affixed to any written instrument shall be witnessed and attested to by the signature of any one Director or other Eligible Person so authorised from time to time by Resolution of Directors. Such authorisation may be before or after the Seal is affixed, may be general or specific and may refer to any number of sealings.

25.4 | The Directors may provide for a facsimile of the Seal and of the signature of any Director or authorised Eligible Person which may be reproduced by printing or other means on any instrument and it shall have the same force and validity as if the Seal had been affixed to such instrument and the same had been attested to as hereinbefore described.
